looking at supernatural, kripkes other creation. when the 2 new showrunners took over, it became nothing more than fan/slashfiction for fans who becames extremely obsessed with the characthers.
Homelander kills the shows version of "Trump", then takes complete power. As his first act as president he puts tariffs on the world.
I thought that Homelander was the version of trump ?
I think you're right, but this would definitely seal the message. MAGA still doesn't get the satire.
Well to be honest the MAGAs possibly look up to Homelander as a hero.
I wish severence would have ended at season 2, exactly the way it did. I'm bracing for dissapointment.
Why? I feel like people are looking for reasons to be disappointed with that show. It's bizarre.
Because every popular show gets milked to death and executives start interjecting stupid ideas and ruin it. They already had a filler episode in season 2.
It's not a filler episode just because it doesn't include the main characters. The episode where Cobel goes home provided a shit ton of context and back story. For example, ether mines? Everyone in the town huffing ether and in some bizarre capitalist cult that used child labor? The fuck? That just made me want to know more about all of that shit.
How/why is that filler? Unless I'm wrong about which episode you're referring to, which I doubt.
It was five minutes worth of content stretched into 45 minutes. It was boring af. We learned that she designed something, but other than that, we didn't really get anything out of it.
So you know where the series is going then? Because that would be the only way to know that nothing else in that episode will be relevant.
This is why American media is going down the toilet. You can't have a single episode dedicated to providing context and character building without chuds whining about it being "boring." Grow up.
Watching someone take a nap and breathe heavily and directly into their microphone in a soap opera style episode is not good.
Maybe try putting your phone away and watching it again.
Perhaps it's just because I was paying attention to the dialogue, and I know what ether is, but I thought the episode was just fine. I wouldn't submit it for an Emmy or anything, but episodes like this can end up being really important to understanding the plot of a show.
Sorry, I agree with /u/GrumpyDuckling here. The pacing of S02E08 didn't work at all, and what we learned didn't actually seem especially interesting. It also seems shoehorned in as she didn't give the vibes of being that at all in Season 1.
A bunch of people who have known nothing but binge watching, suddenly need to deal with week-to-week programming...
This is what good TV shows look like. Sorry. Unless you know the overarching plot of the entire series, you know nothing about the relevance of the episode.
Huh? My objection to the episode's writing has nothing to do with Severance releasing weekly.

Sure, I'm speculating. At this point, I think it was shoehorned in and didn't seem consistent with Cobel's role in the company and behaviour in the company in S01. I also don't think it was well done.
I can't speak for you, but the impression I get is that people were expecting severed workplace hijinks, and are upset that they instead got context, backstory and character development... And had to wait another week to get back to the hijinks.
I was not expecting "workplace hijinks".
It's almost like people use exaggerated terms for the sake of argument.
I mean even then, no, I wasn't expecting that.
It does have the lowest ratimg on imdb. A lot of people are sayimg the same things as I am. I did watch it on my phone because the audio on my tv setup was too hard to hear. I used good wired headphones.
Why would I give a shit?
It could be condensed way down and intertwined into the episodes before and after it. It was extremely dry.
Someone call Ben Stiller, we've got a prodigy here.
I love the first two seasons of Severance, but even if the third will be bad, it won't affect my feelings towards the first two.
Unless it's GoT season 8 levels of bad, but that's probably not possible.
You say that, but sometimes a continuation is so bad that it like goes back in time and somehow taints your memories.
Yes, that's what I said, and I said it's unlikely.
Right like GoT, i see what you mean. I still like my time travel imagery
He's probably been approached by one too many chuds that worship their idea of Homelander and that think he is his character.
He is apparently an asshole based on his bar fighting and how he treats his costars.
Perfectly casted.
His glasses look like those novelty ones with the eyes printed on them.
