Homelander's suit is dirty unlike the rest of the team's costumes and we've seen scenes of him refusing to take off his suit

I guess what I'm asking is are we also to assume compound V also prevents body odor because he has to be extremely dirty by now having not taken a shower in years

Or is his suit meant to allow him to shower in it nevernude style and it just air dries

Homelander is wearing a stillsuit- is HL a Fremen?? Really blue eyes, stillsuit, haven't seen him take a shower yet...

Have we seen any of the supes in the shower? Makes you think.

how many people do you think HL knows the lasers wont just chop in half? he so overpowers all the other supes its probably uncommon that he cant just toast some guys nuts with the lasers.

It's not exactly something you can test on your co-workers.

Am I misremembering or was the face-ripping scene taken wholesale from the comics? I think it might have been Kimiko’s original introduction moment?

(I still can’t believe that actor is Glimmer from She-Ra. Maybe it would be more obvious if she ever spoke...)

Yeah its like almost her signature move, she does it in almost every fight she's involved in. I believe the first time you meet her is essentially that scene but more gruesome. Her killing mob guys and faces and body parts getting ripped off and thrown around.

She literally has the American flag on her uniform, and Eagles are kind of an American thing.



She is definitely a racist, I'm not disputing any of that. Show has not shown in any way shape or form that she is a Hitler adoring Nazi. If you theorize that she is, you're welcome to. I also think she may be. We just have to watch and see what happens to know for sure. I will concede that Third Reich also used Eagles as part of their symbology, and there was a bit of controversy over a shirt featuring the eagle due to the similarity, but the American flag makes it pretty clear this is mostly definitely not a Nazi uniform. You're welcome to disagree as this is open to interpretation.

The bald eagle American symbol was wings bent up, with legs spread out holding things.


The Nazi eagle symbol has legs together, and wings to the side with a flat top.


I wonder what Stormfront's belt looks like?


But of course, she can't be a Nazi, her armband that definitely couldn't hold a swastika has an American flag on it!

On the one hand, she is a literal Nazi who kills people just for being black, on the other hand, she looks just incredibly hot and has a great costume. So who's to say what's right?


The costume designer is doing such a great job. That suit looks better than the cgi ones from many movies. Only Starlights current costume sucks, which is entirely intended and a in universe thing.

Based on the terrorist compound scene, Black Noir is absolutely capable of being stealthy when he wants to be - but he also likes intimidating people and seems to get bored / lazy easily, which makes sense when you're a functionally invulnerable person who can run faster than a car.

Every single aspect of her character and costume is designed to be "Uh that's pretty Nazi.. but.. I guess I'm not sure enough to call her out on it, I don't want to violate decorum!!"


It is subtle but many elements of this show are inspired by real world events

It's an Aquila, without the SPQR, she is a legionary cos player. The Romans were not racist as their slaves were almost entirely white, it stands to reason. Since fascism was invented by the Nazi's they weren't that either.

Not really.

Hmm I wonder if Stormlander can get A-Train to run on time...

I genuinely hope she suggests a lightning war on the super terrorists villains.

So Butcher's aunt is also on the run now right? I imagine the emergency services wouldn't be very understanding when they find a vault full of prescription drugs under a crime scene.

I also wonder how many assassinations Edgar has casually watched from his desk over the years.

Does Vought know about Kimiko being a soup member of the boys? I'm surprised Stormfront never found it odd how much of a fight she put up on that roof.

What, how are we on this topic again. Anyone who thinks her costume doesn't have nazi inspired symbolism is an idiot, everything about her and her past screams nazi. You'd have to be an absolute thick skulled twat at this point not to recognize it.

Even hear ear rings are SS symbols posing as thunderbolts for pete's sake.

I was thinking that this Black Noir is more like a significantly subtler Deapool than a Batman.

I'm actually starting to be convinced that Black Noir is basically supposed to be Deadpool from X-Men: Origins (a lab rat for trying to selectively engineer supe powers) but not shitly executed
