You've only arrived as a "game developer" when you've dolled up your otherwise B-movie grade material with enough critically acclaimed tropes to catch the eye of a major TV production company.

Up 17% from prior week Sunday night, despite the Grammy's going on at the same time so I guess that says more about the Grammy's lol. Should extrapolate to 25 million overall for the week, which is higher then HoD which for s1 of a new show is enviable considering its on a 15$ a month network.

Since they are lumping in the same day streaming numbers, I wonder if this week will still see an increase, even against the super bowl, since they are dropping the episode on HBO Max friday night. Would be impressive if it keeps grown, both for a 4th week, and on Super Bowl weekend.

The initial numbers are first run across HBO Max and traditional HBO cable TV subscribers (Neilson doesnt look at HBO max / HBO streaming so you can view HBO cable on the wiki), then total is combined for the week up to Saturday. For example the final season of game of thrones combined into 40-45 million account / station watches (they do not do total hours streamed like Netflix since they had shared password issues).

I would suspect this weekend will have a lower viewership due to Superbowl obviously, and due to ignorance to the episode coming out early, but the total numbers they would look for till the next episode should remain steady as people VOD / stream it until a more convenient time other then 9pm before the start of a work week. I think this is out preforming where they would project this series to be as even though its based on an IP, its not one that is traditional in the general audience sense, much like GoT wasn't before it took off as fantasy novels were not "popular" at the time.

"I was being lazy. I could have found some peer reviewed journal articles from Sci Hub tho." And yet you didn't. You chose gay magazines instead.

"you guys would find a way to object by saying the journal is too small to be reputable or etc." So we would attack the credibility of a peer reviews journal but you figured using gay magazines would be the better solution?

Your completely unsupported assertions are, as far as I can tell, completely wrong on every point.

You know who has great, publicly accessible data on this kind of stuff ? Pornhub.

From


The pornstars that are most often viewed by women compared to men are all gay or bi-sexual pornstars. That comes as no surprise to our statisticians, since 46.7% of gay male porn is watched by female visitors! Female visitors are +409% more likely to watch videos featuring Armond Rizzo, +291% more into Devin Trez and +253% more into Dante Colle than men are.


Proportion of Female Visitors


2022 saw the proportion of female viewers grow to 36%, an increase of +1 percentage point and +4% growth compared to 2021.


In the Philippines, Colombia, Mexico and Argentina, nearly half of Pornhub’s visitors are women. Canada and the United States have 29% female viewership, while Germany falls lower than other Top 20 countries with 26% female.

So roughly half of gay porn is watched by women. But women also watch hetrosexual porn, while gay men ONLY watch gay porn.

Considering that, we can probably extrapolate from there to assume that there are more porn watching straight women in the world than there are porn watching gay men in the world.

Probably also a safe assumption to say that gay men are more likely than straight women to watch porn in general. Meaning there's likely a sizeable number of straight women who like gay men but DON'T watch any sort of porn at all. Meaning they get their kicks from the few times they encounter homoerotic stuff on TV or in person.

This argument started out with many people saying that women who like gay men just don't exist, period. Thanks for helping settle that velk.

Really no point to continue the discussion now that my original point has been proven correct. So let's get back on topic following one last thing...

Told ya so ;) 💙

when they camped in the woods and he’s carrying a rifle I was wondering whether he was planning on hunting deer or zombies.
it will be funny if he’s limited to rifles, handguns, and clean burning carbon neutral Molotovs for this season. It was also odd when he ditches his ar-15 because there’s “not enough ammo out there for it”. We supposed to believe there’s a 5.56 shortage but .30-08’s are in abundance?

Here is that whole Bill sequence as it originally played out. A lot of character arc material got cut out so they could make Brokeback Zombros.

HBO isn't perfect but with stuff like The Boys, GOT shit, Peacemaker and so on, HBO continues to be leap and bounds ahead of anyone else( can't speak for Netflix ).
Far better than Hulu, Prime and Paramount, although unlike their sister Showtime, Paramount has had some good stuff too.
The Boys is Prime not HBO.

Also lunch lady Neegan feels so out of place.

Yeah, was getting strong The Walking Dead vibes from her and her main lieutenant guy. To be clear, TWD vibes is a bad thing.

She is an interesting character choice to be the one running a crew that took out a FEDRA compound. The last episode did not give us an answer as to why she has the power, but hopefully that answer is forthcoming.

On the surface, nothing about her said survivor, leader, or cunning dictator. She is a woman in a world where raw power has value in an uncivilized society. She is fat and frumpy, suggesting a lack of discipline and prowess in a world where your physique is going to in large part determine your survival. She is shown to be rash in her decision making, by killing the doctor who has a valuable skillset in a world where that skillset is going extinct.

Yet, the people with all of those characteristics still defer to her. They are going to have to give a pretty good plot-reason as to why she is the chief in control of the savages, otherwise it is a pretty gaping plot hole.

A lot of leaders people idolize aren’t physically strong either. Yes, physical strength can be a good attribute if you lead by that attribute alone, but that type of power structure is too easily challenged…especially if you get older.

Boiled down, a good leader is one who can convince others to do something and is able to successfully complete objectives (either through themselves, or supporters) that benefits the tribe/people as a whole.

The episode does call into question her credentials based on killing a valuable resource, but we would have to presume at least up to that point, she was doing something right. One thing that is clear is the hunters all feel collectively wronged by the prior regime and she is effectively using that hatred to get them riled up. That sort of motivation will disappear when they can’t find any more boogeymen, at which point they would manufacture new boogeymen, but their whole situation came across as a group that wouldn’t last too long in the scheme of things

Like at least get Cathy Bates or something. Lunch Lady Negan is about as intimidating as some Walmart front-butt heffer muscling in on the free toothpick cheese cube sample stall.

Uh. They have to appear competent.

Does she appear competent?

People overlook competency a bit when the person says things they like or they feel like they got delivered a win

The FEDRA takedown seems semi recent, so the people are still on that post victory high. We aren’t being shown a long standing society here in terms of the current power structure.

They need to give her a golden goose type of knowledge or ability. Say, she worked at a nuclear plant and has the door codes and the knowledge on how to keep the power on. Or, she has family connections to another faction that is supplying their food on a weekly basis. Or, she is married to the muscle that is keeping the rabble in order.

Dumb examples, but examples nonetheless. If she is just some salty, fat frumpster that took power because "she got attitude", its going to be a major writing-fail and a bad casting decision.
