The Boys - Commentary and Analysis
After too long a wait, I finally watched season 2 of the Boys and I have so many thoughts, all of which are framed around the women of the show because I genuinely do not care about any of these men (except of course for Frenchie). So here we go;

Sex with Superheroes
I was put on the spot with this one. Imagine it for a moment: you are a student, attempting to impress an editor with an idea for an article you think will truly knock it out of the park, and you come up with the idea of playing out a fantasy involving fictional characters with plenty of 'what-ifs'. And yes, I did come up with a list that I felt was the best representation of what we all suspect and choose not to explore. And that editor was not impressed...but I was. And I still am. And I hope you can be once I state my case for each figure and try to judge them by some pretty fair criteria.

Why Your Favorite Franchises are getting "ruined"
We all know the situation. It's been happening to all your favorite stuff. Your favorite book series, movie franchise or video game sequel. Whatever it is, if you've been around long enough, your favorite thing has been "ruined" or you've seen people complaining about it. Either way, there's a very simple reason for it. It makes money by guaranteeing that you have a lot of eyes on whatever product you are trying to push out.

I finished wringing the clothes off and started to get tired myself. I'm sure it was mostly from dealing with our little friends. I still felt sore all over. They pierced my skin plenty of times. We're lucky their weapons weren't poisoned, or we'd be goners. We could not have dodged all those attacks in the dark. Knowing I was tired, I scanned for intruders before deciding who to wake up next.

Splash! We fell off a cliff into a river. It was narrow and in between the forest. That must be why we didn’t notice it before. We probably were tricked. It seems like they expected us to fall to our deaths. Luckily neither of us smashed into any rocks. The water was too deep to walk in, and If anything, that saved our lives. Or maybe just mines. These brutes probably lost a leg or arm falling about 50 feet. The river stream had a gentle current going down. After locking our eyes and regaining our composure, we decided to go with the draft.

We had a fire; I patched everyone while we were periodically attacked. I started thinking to myself. We have to end this battle soon. Bulls Eye and John could use the rest as the fight wore on, though. We started getting used to their timed attacks. Instead of getting tired, we were getting more focused. It'll still be a problem once the adrenaline wears off.

Deadpool 3: Ryan Reynolds And Hugh Jackman Trolling Fans With Teasers
To recap. All of the promos thus far have had comedic vibes to them. Jackman and Reynolds even Rickrolled us by playing music over their discussion of Deadpool 3 moments before telling us about the movie. In all honesty, the social media post feels like a work to get fans tuned in. Of course, the lighthearted approach suggests something else.

We started our march, as the cave was located south of the village. Our home was conveniently located at the southern tip of the town. It’ll take us about three days if we take our time. Half if we decided to rush. We’re shooting for 2 1/2 days to get some rest before reaching the Sapphire Cave. We started at a small pace. Then once we couldn’t see the village, we got to a slight jog. I could tell that we were all holding back the urge to sprint. We all knew, though, without saying a word. That exerting your energy needless outside the village wouldn’t be very smart. We could run into any number of encounters from now on.

Why Junji Ito’s Earthbound is a deep dive into guilt
This story was a different twist on guilt. It’s ironic that Junji Ito is known for grotesque horror and this is one of those rare stories that he does without intense amounts of horror and focuses on the impact.

After studying, we decided to stop by our favorite shop and grab some items. It's located on the way home, so it's convenient. Our home is located on the outer edge of the village, and I love it. We arrived at the shop pretty fast. After all, we're very excited to head out. It'll be wise to be patient, though, and go tomorrow. We got there, and the outside didn't look much, but the owner isn't prominent on aesthetics. His shop looks like a giant metal shed from the outside.
