I get that I have to employ a bit of suspension of disbelief for the sake of narrative, but it bugs me that Homelander wouldn't just have Butcher tailed 24hrs a day in order to find out where Ryan lives.

That would make the show a 2 hour min-series :lol:

Yeah that was a pretty good ep.

I still feel like we are just getting started with this season.

Which is good for now.

I am glad I am not doing drugs when watching this show.
Honestly is there any actual good guys in this? The closest I can see is Annie, even Jack is not a typical hero.

i mean, he is basically playing the same character.

this show is still great entertainment. usually i'm not a fan of tone-shifting like this (it's sometimes all over the place) but somehow it works. kripke also managed this with "supernatural" so it makes sense.

i also like the weekly drop schedule. gives more incentive to look forward to fridays, which is already usually automatically a great day.

Man there is nothing like this show, and I love it.

Only problem is Soldier Boy seems to most likely be a temporary character with how overpowered he is.

I haven’t seen tonight’s episode but the show is all about Homelander. Everybody else is comically under matched. I was hopeful he’d embrace being an asshole after that speech but he seemed to immediately revert to the Q rating concerns.

Honestly man, I probably wouldn’t click on this thread on Friday’s until after you watch the ep.

If you care about spoilers and what not.

I generally don’t. Idk, I’m weird on this stuff. I don’t mind knowing what happens as it gives me advance notice to share my superior opinions.

Im about 20 min deep. Still think homelander is the star or this show.

I love Nick Wechsler but the Blue Hawk storyline is very ham-fisted. It doesn’t fit with the attitude of the show.

Is this Soldier Boy as a Homelander foil a replacement for the other Homelander foil? Probably not right?

I think they’re trying too hard to be shocking and/or gory. There’s almost zero plot to this season so they supplement character development with people being ripped apart in various ways.

I mean, the comic is straight edge lord shit all the way.

This show is tempered down if you’re willing to be believe that.

BTW I don’t think you’re ready for Herogasm.

i don't think any of that has changed since the 1st season. the wild tonal shifts have been a part of the show since the first episode. i'm sure the comics have a ton more fucked up carnage, knowing garth ennis.

Garth Ennis and Eric Kripke has proven to be a helluva combo.

The people who are about to write think pieces about how the show is Actually Bad. That’s who.

Think pieces?

My guy. They are satirizing Trump with Homelander.

There’s no chance these types of people will turn on the show.

The show is a great balance between excessive violence/porn and political agenda.

99% of the political critique is a ShitLib’s fever dream of right wing politics.

I enjoy the show but the satire probably only hits those inclined to announce pronouns unironically.
