A lot of the show differs from the comic.
-
Supers are far less widespread, and season 1 starts with Compound V not even being a known thing until part way through.
-
The comic not only has more supers in general, but also far more widespread knowledge and use of V to make them as happens to the entire lineup of The Boys prior to the story starting, and eventually Stewie.
-
In the show 'The Female' is the only one of the team who has powers.
-
Herogasm doesn't exist.
-
All the other parody teams don't exist.
-
Stormfront isn't literal Nazi Superman still living in the modern day, but he is a female Nazi with superpowers from WW2 so part of that concept was retained if then horribly adapted.
-
There was no botched 9/11 op, but there is a scene where Homelander and Maeve, who can't fly in the show, try and stop a plane high-jacking but not only make it worse and cause the plane to crash, but get caught on camera fucking the whole thing up.
It didn't help they cast Jensen Ackles in the role. A lot of people love him for his role in Supernatural, and a few other things he did, but mostly the Supernatural thing. So trying to make him the bad guy was doomed from the start.
Stormfront was a woman with lightning powers in the show, unlike the comic counterpart who was basically Nazi Superman and also the genetic father of Homelander. That role goes to Soldier Boy in the show, the Captain America pastiche, who also isn't like the comic counterpart, because why bother staying true to the source material when making adaptations these days?
Someone is finding out the hard way just how expendable soldiers are, regardless of sex. We did it Reddit, true equality amongst sexes in the army, everyone goes in the grinder this time!
How much did/does biology affect language
Everyone starts with the same basic biology, so there won't be any difference there.
From an anatomical POV losing teeth or damage to the lips/tongue will affect things because, for the English language at least, those are the things you use when making the sounds for consonants. They're all some variation of air pressure being moulded around the teeth and tongue, so language can be affected in that sense but only in terms of deviating from the norm in terms of how the structure of the mouth should be.
This includes idiots who split their tongues, probably affects a lot of people with lip/tongue/facial piercings around the same areas, those who have lost teeth for whatever reasons, and anyone unfortunate enough to be born with several conditions where the mouth/teeth/tongue don't form fully.
3 reasons why this tweet isn't exactly convinving me of anything.
First, it's spelled "hocking", not "hawking" which is to do with the actual bird.
Second, Vanessa has never been used well in the two previous films since she's meant to be a mutant shapeshifter and the first film dropped the ball hard not going that route when she was put in the power chamber. Also she spent most of the second movie dead. So her character isn't really that prominent despite her role.
Third, the trailer shows the TVA trying to grab Deadpool so any and all semblance of normality being lived is nonexistent.
The time travel thing at the very end undid that, it's in the middle of the credits though, so probably easily missed and forgotten about as most things in that sequence were done even more so for laughs.
Comes great tendies...
Wait, what do you mean we don't even get free tendies and hot pockets anymore? This is bullshit! 😠
Once again I am willing to self nominate under the exclusive remit of only nuking these obvious spam troll accounts. I usually see their OPs within a few hours.
This is my line of thinking, too. I probably spend far too much time a day on this board even though I'm not commenting as much as I used to, but it would be enough to play whack-a-mole with this spammer and any others if needed.
The only thing any new mods need done to help address the ongoing shitshow is to ban accounts. That's it. They don't need to pin new threads, edit any site features, or do any other number of things. It only needs a very precise, scalpel driven approach to excise this troll who clearly has nothing going on in his life to have so many accounts made in the first place.
Going by what others have said most of these accounts from the spammer are old ConPro accounts that have since been banned from there and wherever else, but were never active on this board which is why it's accounts that are 1 year old but still have the handshake. Handshakes don't indicate account age, it's an engagement score.
Someone could make a new account today and do everything correct with posts and comments and lose their handshake within the week. Whereas week old, or longer, accounts that are blatant trolls and only ever get downvoted aren't likely to ever have it happen.
Lots of people are ignoring him, but you can't prove a negative like that so any and all who do so are "unseen".
Ironically Brightburn is more like Irredeemable by Mark Waid than Superman, although Irredeemable is itself a Superman Elseworlds story.
Red Son is the "What if?" where Kal'el lands in rural Russia rather than Kansas but still deals with an adult Superman in an AU Earth.
Brightburn is a "What if?" where a similarly powered alien child lands in the US but is treated with fear and suspicion, however the character is only 12/13 or so in human years, so it's more about the differences in raising the alien child than how and where he tries to influence the world.

Personally I also find Millar to be quite overhyped at times and his "big works" like Civil War aren't actually very good once you start applying even a little scrutiny.
CW1 only "worked" because Tony Stark, Reed Richards, and various others on the pro-registration side of things acted very out of character because the anti-reg side needed someone to actually go up again that provided both big names and a credible threat - remember one of the first questions that ever gets asked when multiple superheroes meet is "What would happen if they fight", and the MCU showed this almost immediately in The Avengers when within minutes of arriving Thor is fighting Iron Man and Captain America and then later on The Hulk.
If the entire superhero community united and stood against a non-superpowered individual like AOC then despite whatever retarded tribal-blue/public support the stand-in might have in the end said character would not only be utterly ineffective at actually stopping any of the superhero community, but also start losing PR points very fast if and when the superheroes simply stopped doing anything since various disasters that occur regardless of their presence can only ever be stopped by them.
The same scrutiny can be applied to the rest of his works but is something very evident in his recent "Millar-verse" finale event 'Big Game' which brings together every single comic he's written for Image Comics, Chrononauts, Kick-Ass/Hit-Girl, Kingsman, Night Club, Starlight, Superior, The Ambassadors, The Magic Order, and others, and kills off every hero, just to then use magic/time-travel to undo it all at the end.
Every death is gruesome and over the top because it was never going to matter. But that's more or less Millar's thing, hyperviolent content that may or may not matter or actually have some kind of story going on.
Of those various titles Superior is the one I would recommend the most since it's a short 6 issue run and stand alone from everything else, but then most of Millar's works are like that until the very recent tie-ins. Anyone who does read it will very quickly realise DC lifted the plot to the comic for another live-action adaptation, but the comic does it better in part because of pacing and not being tied to pre-existing story requirements.
For another similar experience JMS' Superman: Earth One is very likely where the Man of Steel movie took it's pointers from, but again was done better and should have been the story the DCU films went with, bringing in Zod later on rather than him off so quick and then going full Doomsday with him. Pacing was always a problem with the DCU, however.
As good as the story is, and personally I wasn't a fan of the twist at the end, the main issue Superman faces throughout the whole thing is Lex just being a dick, and at times because of things barely related to what Superman is trying to do.
The chess game for example doesn't actually involve Superman, it's the Bizarro stand-in, but Lex takes this as yet another slight against him by Superman who more or less doesn't actually give a shit about Lex.
The whole "What if?" fails at times because Millar paints Superman as bad simply as an extension of "Russia = bad" stemming from lingering Cold War resentment on both sides, accurate or not. If the same character had been trying to reach the same goal but from a different home location the comic would have both likely not as sold as much or caused anywhere near as much discourse except to bring up the point that these are all things any Superman can do but as with most characters set in a near approximation of the real world the status quo shackles them to not making any great changes, because if that actually happened the stories would resolve very quickly and the comic would run out of things to explore.

sympathetic Arnie
That's why he's one of the few villains actually left alive in the movies.
Joker: Dead
Penguin: Dead
Catwoman: Literal pussypass
Riddler: Committed
Two-Face: Dead
Mr Freeze: Incarcerated but given funding to help cure the disease
Poison Ivy: Pussypass
Ra's: Dead
Scarecrow: Committed
Joker: Can't remember if this was changed after Heath Ledger's death or not
Two-Face: Dead
Bane: Sucker-punched by Catwoman who simply fires an RPG at him after Batman repeatedly tried punching him down
Talia: Dead
Catwoman: Somewhat of a pussypass again but nowhere near the same level of antagonist
Of the few survivors, Joker only lives in the Nolan trilogy, all the women except Talia live, Scarecrow is committed, released, then recaptured, with Jim Carey's Riddler being one of the few odd-man-out picks of an insane character left alive, but delirious and thinking he's Batman after his mind gets scrambled.

That'll be why yet another one activated and started posting recently.
Does that even work? The language use of the ones yesterday matches the ones from last week, suggesting it's the same person so any IP bans from then don't seem to have had much effect.
She likened it to making a fussy child eat vegetables
That happens for a reason. Children can't digest the same foods as adults yet and so their bodies literally try and reject/avoid things like brassica plants, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc because children physically can't handle the levels of glucosinolates in them until older. Forcing children to eat those can unironically result in poisoning them.
Remember "the Cuck" scene from one of the seasons? Not only is the scene pure distilled cringe, but they don't even write it correctly.
