- GoofsLittle Cricket's voice is normal even when she is tiny. It should be high-pitched, both because of the physics and because of the continuity within the Boys universe - Termite's voice also got pitched up when he shrunk.

The Brinkening
People need to CHILL😂So many folks on IMDb act like something is the worst, most undercooked show in the world just because it's a spin-off or because it isn't "as good" as the first series/movie.
I was never going to watch this expecting the show to be as good as The Boys either, but I can't deny the talent that's still on display, and I think the actors are genuinely doing a great job. Patrick Schwarzenegger is actually excellent too!
I find it fascinating that none of the main supes are actually terrible people (so far anyway). Where The Boys was sort of a realistic depiction of a corporate-ran superhero squad (full of either angry or terrible people) that satirized the celebrities, politics and societal influence of superheroes, this series moreso satirizes the younger side of society. People doing stupid/mean things for social media views, self-harm, LGBTQIA+ struggles, and also some other things from The Boys like A-class manipulation and using someone as a pawn or object instead of accepting them as a person.
And I so far think that's actually where the show shines. I personally think they're doing pretty well with Marie and Emma's characters. I'd be curious to hear what other people who have self-harmed think of these two and how the show approaches that real-life struggle, but I think it's harrowing here yet believable and not at all out of poor taste.
And Jordan's scene with their parents was also nicely done!
As far as violence and action goes, this episode had a couple of great moments I didn't see coming. The violence and visceral tone feel very in-line with The Boys.
Also, really good cliffhanger. I'm digging this show so far!
