The whole comic (when it's not focusing on Mark), is pretty much a redemption story for Omni-Man, kinda.
I'd have preferred Battle Beast myself, but there you go.

Can't wait for the Christmas one! the best part of the Halloween one was either the cheap Havik skeleton, or the Halloween 3 reference of the bugs coming out of the pumpkin.

Been obvious for awhile but it's confirmed Antony Starr won't be playing Homelander.
Having never been interested in giving The Boys a look I have no opinions on this one way or the other, though do sympathize with fans.

It's kind of astounding how awful Tremor's Brutalities are. They both look like they animated them in 30 seconds and then didn't bother to double check to see if they worked correctly before releasing them.

I bet there was a lot of effort, but time? No, noooo, nope. Nowhere near enough time. WBD wants money yesterday, shit has to be OUT.

WBD have been bleeding money since at least the HBO Max debacle launched... followed by... everything after... so yeah... they want to make the money now.... though for Tremor I could see them going Kameos are the classic versions of characters... as if Tremor was really a thing <_<

See also how for both MK11 and MK1 Frost is just using a female version of the ninja design with them calling it Deadly Alliance when her outfit had much more intricate design work than that.

But they've cut so many corners with presentation, micro-transactions that are excessively bad, removing pre-match dialogue, bugs that shouldn't have made it out of QA, and lazy Kameos that it makes me wish NRS was owned by someone not WBD.

If you go into versus they do still have pre match dialogue. But it's a line each instead of the full back and forth. The best little detail I've noticed is Johnny grimacing of you hold on him too long.

It's a lot of the same kind of stuff that plagued Street Fighter V initially, where Sony threw money at Capcom to make it and put it out before they were really ready to do that, only that was more barren but more polished, whereas this has more content off the bat, but a disconnect with fans about the kind of content they want and also a lot of rough edges where things clearly need tinkering and smoothing.

Seems like it'll be once a month for each DLC

I ended up deleting the game just after they released Tremor without bothering to try him out. For how much of an empty grind of an experience it is it just takes up too space on my Xbox to keep around, and while I can pretty easily fall into killing time with it I feel like that's time better spent playing other games.
I definitely want to return to it and try out the other DLC at some point, but for the time being I'm fine with having just bailed in the middle of the Nitara season and just kind of keeping my distance for the foreseeable future. Maybe when the first story expansion comes out.
That is a disgusting as hell Fatality though, give 'em that.
