I think her bafflingly bad taste in candy bars must come from the childhood deprivation she talked about with the donuts.

I assume all you guys who also like Almond Joy were abused as well

Murdered, hopefully, why we gotta get all Gitmo with this poo poo bruh

Edit: And dammit, she better get an eye poked out here soon

Ok, I guess I should expand on that particular thought. I could see some sexual relationship forming between her and Homelander because of their similar personalities. But eventually his narcissism and need to be center of attention lead to some heinous poo poo. He does have that creepy vibe going and the show hasn’t exactly shied away from some messed up stuff.

That or he gets turned on by her similar destructive, dominating tendencies and when she rebuffs his creepy advances...well you get the picture. Manchild that can’t handle rejection.

This thread got a lot more contentious and heated when it veered from Nazism to candy preferences.

Almond Joy is good but people who like Charleston Chew should be institutionalized for their own safety.

I also think my idea would probably be too shocking/disturbing and might really screw with the shows viewership. I just find this show continues to surprise me with what it shows, the recent racism being a big one.

Edit: on topic, I love almond joys.

I love how incredibly creepy Homelander's milk obsession is getting, it's just such a nice little touch that's so weird and pathetic and skin tingling cringy that I actually felt kind of bad for him afterwards.

Doppelgänger seemed like a pretty cool person and I like the idea that his impossibly valuable and incredibly useful superhuman ability which would make him the most powerful living intelligence asset in human history is relegated to a sex doll and he/they seem perfectly content with that.

Still, I think this kind of controversy is good for the show overall. Even bad publicity is still publicity.
The problem with stupid people thinking that actors *are* the characters they play is as old as time, or at least as theatre, and it won't go away anytime soon.

Edit: If anything, this is a cadeau to Aya Cash who's knocking it out of the park. I can't wait to see her mask slip further and further off during the rest of the season. OG Stormfront was way too on the nose. But Lady Stormfront makes fascism look cool - until you stop to think about it.

catching up with the thread and this video is awful and so are you for posting it.

Yeah, I had the same thought about his power being squandered. It seems like how much he enjoys loving with people's heads sexually might mean a bit of a loose cannon who they can't trust to do reallllllly important stuff that he would be able to do.

I'm pretty sure the backstory is Homelander once again going rogue, kidnapping him to Vought Acres and threatening to murder him if he declines

IMHO, Stormfront being racist is not as cut and dry as people want to believe. Upon a rewatch and a frame by frame, it's pretty clear to me the reason she kills the family is because the father stands in her way. Once he dies, she obviously has to kill the witnesses. I'm not saying what she did was right by any stretch of the definition. There's no denying she is evil and reckless, but I didn't get any racist vibes from her. Let's not forget that the person who invited her into the Seven and is her boss is a POC. Why would a racist agree to work for a POC? It obviously doesn't add up. Not to mention she's working alongside two POC and she has had no negative interactions with them at all. Also, let's not overlook the fact about the ethnicity of the actress portraying her. Even though it's 2020, there's no way any casting director who cares about their job would cast a Jewish person to portray a Nazi. Obviously you're welcome to speculate, but I'm not seeing the racist narrative. At all.

She's by far my favorite superhero we've seen in the series, especially as she's seemingly the only one who isn't afraid of Homelander. Can't wait to see where the character goes.

Here's an ad hominem for you: Go gently caress yourself you racist piece of poo poo.

re: Homelander and Stormfront

He's going to 'lazer her tits' possibly twice so I'm wondering how that comes about or in what context. In the trailer she's already scarred up at that point

Also Lamplighter is in this season so that's cool. He's the one that Frenchie has beef with

edit: poor Doppleganger, what he was saying didn't seem scripted so I feel like he really had a crush on Homelander :smith:

I went into the season thinking that maybe they would want to avoid naming one of the heroes after a white suprematist internet forum, like Stormfront, but maybe they were actually being a little on-the-nose about that one.

Stormfront has been a Nazi phrase for basically as long as Nazis have had iconography. Ennis had this poo poo pegged 10-15 years ago.

I don’t understand why so many people are like “drat that was really unintentionally funny or smart coming from a room of high payed genre savvy Hollywood writers!”

I know Homelander has extreme mommy issues but I find it HIGHLY unlikely that she would be his biological mom since there's a scene with her asking him to laser her tits in the trailer

I'm curious to see what happens with that - I could see Vought being incredibly pissed because yeah, Doppelganger's ability is arguably the most useful / powerful of any of them outside of a pure "gently caress it, we're taking over" situation, especially in the context of them trying to integrate supes into national defense, but the fact that he's locked into Homelander's shape also has a ton of potential - at the very least it would let them lay the perfect trap for the Boys and send Butcher into a tailspin if he thinks his revenge got taken away from him somehow.

Also I like how they handled MM's backstory and I really, really hope if they go any deeper into it they stay as far away from the source material as possible because christ it's awful.
