I have a real bad feeling about Butcher (ep 4) telling Becca he’s under a pawn shop in East Flatbush. Just seemed so out of place and specific, like either she will give that up or Homelander was listening.

Also you’ve gotta hand it to Homelander. A lot of people do lie to him.

Glad to see Anthony Starr continues to nail it. I love his facial expressions when he confronts Stormfront.

See, to me I don't think Stormfront is Liberty because the characters in-universe are speculating about it. It makes me think there's got to be a twist to it, like how Homelander's son was the big twist in S1.

I mean she basically says it herself in the meeting with Homelander

Anyway I liked that episode a lot more than the first three. Feels like the humour is back.

My guess is she's an actual German nazi from ww2 like in the comics, or maybe the child of one. If she isn't aging it fits, just change the public identity every now and then.

Yeah it stood out.

I'm willing to bet though the big ending for this season is about Homelander himself though. Him losing it and being paranoid about the team is building up to something.

Ep 4: Haha Homelander with Doppleganger-Stillwell. I guess he's taking the advice and re-asserting his power over The Seven, including Maeve.

Black Noir: the only member of The Seven who is working

Roadtrip with Starlight, Hughie and MM was very wholesome. :3:

So once again I'm wondering why Mr. Edgar put Stormfront on The Seven

That final scene :stonklol:

Something we still haven't seen from the season preview is him lasering someone, I think a soldier even, in front of a huge crowd of people. Really looked like a "mask off in front of the world" moment.

That scene with Stormfront and Homelander was something else. She really did a number on him in a matter of minutes.

I do like that even she knows she went too far with her sass. When the lasereyes appear, you done hosed up.

I read that as her pretending to be scared to lull him into a false sense of security, especially based on the trailer "laser my tits" clip.

Unrelated, but that final scene has set up some wild possibilities - it kinda seems like Homelander could fake his own death? It seems like Doppelganger got "stuck" in his form when he died. They could be even less subtle about his character and have him to a Jesus-style resurrection to completely overshadow Stormfront in the public eye.

Eh, I don't see it that way. He does have different lasereyes settings besides MAXIMUM POWER. He was probably cauterizing her wounds, but that remains to be seen. It didn't seem like he was blasting her at full power.

Confederate Homelander cape mural was awesome

Also I feel like they should have included a scene with a police scanner or actually showed the robbery, because with the missing scene it just felt like Liberty was killing a dude for being black?

Now that you say it, I really hope that Vought pulls a Death and Rebirth of Superman Homelander to rehab his image/comic book sales. It's the perfect amount of on-the-nose for this show.

Well it was different. Basically when a popular supe died, they'd do an unholy reanimation of the corpse that was good enough for a few public appearances but needed like, hospice care at all times.

Yeah I'm curious what their plan is for Lamplighter, since clearly something happened to him, but I doubt they're bringing in Shawn Ashmore just to piss and poo poo himself in a dungeon.

They didn't do it. It was a side effect of compound V. So superheroes that died kind of popped back up with major brain damage from the oxygen deprivation and what not.

That happened with Blarneycock but I thought Lamplighter and the storm parody from the G-men both got shot up with v post mortem to (kinda) bring them back.

Im assuming they are building up to a story like the start of Invincible. Homelander trains up his son, but his son has lived a loved life believing he is a normal human. When Homelander starts going psycho around him, his son will stand up to him and become an actual hero. (spoiled in case any one cares about not being spoiled on Invincible even though it's pretty lovely with stuff like fan service and overwhelmingly powerful woman characters constantly becoming damsels in distress)

That’d be kind crazy since Invincible is supposed to get its own show on Amazon too.

Yo this episode was loving incredible.

I really appreciate how they juxtapose the hyper violence against really soft and demure sex scenes between the pairings that have real connection vs the disgusting and oblique eroticism of Homelander and Stillwell

Overall my favorite episode of the series so far. It’s insane how tense I was the entire time. Every soft moment had this incredible dread hanging over it.

The show is also setting up Butcher vs Black Noir and that’s gonna SLAP.

Noir was just sobbing uncontrollably when he learned about Vought. He's suddenly showing an interest in finding Butcher, whom he knows is out to get Vought.
