The Boys

lol Grey's Anatomy..

i don't buy edgar being the head popper. i think his character works best as just a lex luthor type regular human. and again, if this were vought trying to stop the court case, neuman should have gotten popped as well.

‘The Boys’ Ratings Are So Strong It’s Challenging Netflix’s Top Hits

Amazon continues to ride the wave of The Boys, what might be considered its first bonafide original megahit, greenlighting a third season, an after-show and a spin-off.

www.forbes.com

Here are the rankings for this past week according to Nielsen, where they measure by minutes watched:

1. Cobra Kai (Netflix), 2.17 billion minutes viewed
2. Lucifer (Netflix), 1.42 billion
3. The Boys (Amazon), 891 million
4. The Office (Netflix), 843 million
5. Criminal Minds (Netflix), 675 million
6. Shameless (Netflix), 639 million
7. Away (Netflix), 631 million
8 . Grey’s Anatomy (Netflix), 616 million
9 . The Legend of Korra (Netflix), 541 million
10. Mulan (Disney+), 525 million

More impressive since people are probably binging 2 seasons of Cobra Kai and Lucifer while The Boys is mostly just the one episode a week.

Edgar would be the unoriginal choice. Who has been present at each head popping, either physically or remotely?

Remotely? *shrug* The hearing was on C-SPAN... But who knows who could've gotten a hold of video footage of Raynor, as it was actually happening.

Physically, only the Boys (minus Butcher) were there when Raynor's head asploded.

That's why I say that it has to be someone at Vought, or more precisely, Sage Grove.

I feel like the shockwave getting popped it has to be someone from the church of the collective

Hhhrrrmmmm....interesting idea. Never thought of it like that.

I think I figured out who the head popper is.

Good point. Lucifer has a lot of back seasons, but the fact it is pulling in massive numbers definitely helps to explain why Netflix kept upping the episode orders.

Boys and Cobra Kai both have 2 seasons each, so they are a more direct comparison. Although aren't the Cobra Kai episodes only around 30ish minutes? At 10 episodes for Kai, that technically makes a season runtime less than The Boys at 8 episodes per season. If so, that makes their numbers very impressive.

The Boys is nothing to sneeze at "ratings" wise, though, considering how much Netflix is dominating that chart.

I buy Edgar as the Devil. I mean, hell, they had Sympathy For The Devil playing while he was onscreen. I don't buy him as the head popper, or anyone in the Church of the Collective. That shit's just like Scientology to me. Scientology hasn't done shit for anyone, except for maybe the first few courses. And there, it barely helped at all.

I dunno, it just seems to that it has to be Cindi, or someone Sage Grove. Cindi, or someone else that she helped to escape.

Cindy just squishes people. She’s just a red herring for whoever is doing the Scanners shit

yeah, i agree. cindi hasn't demonstrated any kind of fine motor control with her powers. and she's also shown to have a lot more variation in her abilities. from what i remember we only see her explode one person, and it wasn't just his head, it was his entire body.

yup. he's absolutely the most evil person we've seen on screen. he's the kind of devil that has ALL KINDS of ways of getting people to fall in line without having to do anything himself.

i'd buy him ORDERING the head popping, but he's not the one doing it.

She exploded more than one person in that hospital. I agree that she is not the head popper. It is too obvious and as stated already she does not just pop heads, she goes Dr. Manhattan on them.

The thing I am curious about, was how blood came from the CIA agent's nose before her head popped and yet, people's heads in the hearing had no such warning. I will go with poor writing, because I doubt we get an explanation to that.

Well when they reveal who it is, it will either be genius or a total letdown, as I haven't heard any quality autist theorycrafting based off of subtle on screen hints. It's going to be something unoriginal like Edgar, some unfathomable twist like Huey spiked V and is popping heads without knowing it, or hopefully some very subtle thing we've all missed where we'll all go "ahhhh" (unlikely).

Wait Wait Wait....I got it.



All this time its been Kimiko. Just look at that stare.

It will be interesting to see....
