In the graphic novels Hughie’s design is based off Simon Pegg.

I mean exactly like Simon Pegg.

Which makes for an entertaining read.

Pegg was too old to portray Hughie in S1, but they still casted him as Hughie’s dad.

Also, Antony Starr has portrayed Homelander so well.

I wish the awards group recognized him more.

Awesome to hear MOFO.

Where are you at episode wise?

Be careful in this thread as there are MANY spoilers.

I mean...if I'm being honest. I kinda like all of the characters. This new chick that just joined is pretty fun and brash.

I'm just starting the Homelander arc with his son and it's already giving me the creeps.

Stormfront? She's pretty cool.

Butcher is my favorite.

I think Starlight/Annie is the weak link, but a minor quibble. The boys are all great; the supes, even the side characters like the gay evangelist and Haley Joel Osmand all fit the roles perfectly.

Also, for those who haven’t seen Banshee, another great Antony Starr show.

I was wondering if episode 7 was it. Definitely felt like a finale.

That scene towards the end of the episode with Homelander was shot for season 1, but amazon told the producers they couldn’t show it because it was too much.

The show has been relentless and the plot advancements all made sense to that point. That last 30 seconds is what’ll stick with me til S3.

Well that was a surprise...but it does kinda tie things together. In other circumstances it might be considered a deus ex machina...but here it works.

I thought it was a bit of a weak ending. It felt rushed compared to last season.

Homelander became more interesting and sympathetic. He was an abused and abandoned child. So he’s now a damaged adult. Even Stormfront has some depth rather than just as a Nazi. Not sure if this AOC character will work out.

THAT is how you do a season finale.

Although the reveal is...cheap? A bit of a cheat too because, the head popper was in very different “moods” that can’t be explained away as acting or putting up a front.

I think the writers just wanted to surprise you.

They said they filmed it both ways and went with the more surprising ending.

Yeah I was really satisfied with the finale, and season overall.

Did anybody like the head popper reveal? I thought there was a ton of shit that was way too uneven about that person’s actions. The YouTube explainer hand waved some of that, but didn’t exactly change my mind.

It was fine.

They were setting up a villain for next season.

I like that I was surprised to find out who it was.

Spoilers on this one...




From that perspective I don’t hate it, but you had so many great villains established it doesn’t seem like you need somebody new.

Even if you get rid of Stormfront, there’s an obvious angle to set up homelander and his kid as some uber villain tag team. AOC has antagonized the supes (which the emotionally unstable homelander wouldn’t forgive), killed Govt officials - what’s her constituency? Theoretically her base hates the supes. If she drives up hate to cause a backlash from normal people and provoke some type of conflict, couldn’t an out of control homelander have done the same?
