Why was Kimiko so happy to see Starlight? Did she remember her as the one who saved them at end of Season 1, or did they have another interaction I'm forgetting When Stormfront was showing those pics I really thought she was going to say 'that's my daughter... your mother'

I must be the only one who watches it with that X-ray thing on, it said that's the only time she met her and liked her because of that.

FuriousGeorge posted:Maybe there's some detail I just missed, but I don't understand how they were holding her there in the first place if she could just crush the cell doors like tin cans anyway. Lamplighter states they've broken out before when the doctor messed up their propofol dosage Also happy at them actually going going all-in on the America literally embracing Nazism and the ACAB stuff with Stormfront and her black flag patches complaining about how she can't mete out justice the same way now that everyone has a camera before brutalizing a criminal I remember being being pissed when Far Cry 5 pulled punches on the white supremacy in America storyline. gently caress man these episodes are better than S1 which was fantastic Thumbtacks posted:still not sure what exactly vought gets out of this or at least edgar. seems like he knows everything that's going on but there's no way there's a version of THAT plan that doesn't involve him getting absolutely murdered Considering they say they're trying to stabilize if for adults, and Stormfront who is overseeing it is the only supe we've seen so far who is ageless and seemingly one of the most damage-resistant, he's probably trying to create an immortality serum. I'd imagine wealthy people of the world would be willing to pay at least $100 to avoid death. He could probably make thousands of dollars off that.

If you read the thread, I had theorized that if they were going with the Nazi direction, they would save the reveal for a big moment, and my prediction was right on the money.

wait, she's a nazi? are we sure? isn't it possible she was just near nazis unaware of their goals? she seems mostly focused on races, that's probably why she was talking to a-train last episode - to convince him to win races for Vought.

this show is going so heavy-handed on some of the allegories and symbolism that I bet Stormfront reveals that she was one of Vought's Jewish subjects that embraced nazism once she had a taste of power, considers herself white and despite her last name being Vought now, her birth name was Stephanie Miller Now that I say that I had to google if Rogen had commented on him before, and he actually compared him to a comic book character oh god dont let my joke be right text editor fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Sep 25, 2020 |

Butcher in the flashback is much closer to his comic counterpart, with the slick hair and coat. I wonder what they had on lamplighter to blackmail him. It took some time to come around on it, because it started to feel like there weren't any left on the side of the Seven with so many defectors, but I realise that the angle they are going with the supe-army is that there will be an entire new militia of enemies to go against all the newly conscionable supes

That last scene with Stormfront and Homelander was solid. Cash and Starr have great chemistry. You’d think Homelander would be more pro-American and anti-foreign Nazi. He accepts being the Aryan Kwisatz Haderach too easily. e: emanresu tnuocca posted:This is the social commentary Yeah, but Homelander has been conditioned since childhood and Homelander is about Homelander. Cash’s accent is excellent. This episode is packed with information. With only 8 episodes a season, they’ve got to be compact.

Automatic Slim posted:That last scene with Stormfront and Homelander was solid. Cash and Starr have great chemistry. It’s no different than how people IRL conditioned to believe in American Exceptionalism, in no small part due to things like our involvement in WW2, resort to Nazism or Nazi adjacent white supremacism without missing a beat. They have never cared about anything but being told how good they are and neither has Homelander.

I feel like they had made their point into the ground already, is there a hope? Is there another America they're going to describe? Or is it just misdirection for misdirection's sake?

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Lamplighter also seems like a scrub tier supe. Sure he can manipulate fire, but he still needs a source first. I bet that's the real reason he was fired from The Seven. Yeah he seemed terrified of guns and everyone was repeatedly asking Frenchie why he didn't stop him like it was just no biggie Frenchie you should have just murdered that member of the Seven.

We see Homelander indoctrinated as a child heavily in season one. American Exceptionalism isn’t that many steps away from any other form of supremacy but one would think Homelander would still have some of that conditioning left. Nazis are the ultimate evil in American mythology. It’s not that it’s hard to believe Homelander would eventually side with Nazis just that he did it so fast. But this is an 8 episode season so and there’s a lot of ground to cover. Cash and Starr did so much in one single scene. emanresu tnuocca posted:The whole not so subtle subtext is that capitalists and nationalists make easy bed fellas with unabashed fascists. Fair enough.

Still not quite sure how much of Stormfront's demeanor around Homelander is genuinely being intimidated vs just being smart enough to know that he's much easier to manipulate when he thinks someone is afraid of him. There's a great little moment where he tries that thumb-on-the-neck thing that he's pulled on a few people before and even when he really puts some oomph into it she barely reacts at all. Starr's face does one of those little micro-cycles through confusion / frustration before jumping back to being self-assured, but I think he's genuinely kind of unnerved by her and the way she acts around him doesn't match up at all with that. Emotionally, she definitely throws him for a loop and he obviously doesn't like that. Which is to say, both actors are doing a really good job of selling uncertainty about each other, like they're both kind of circling and looking for little gaps in each others' armor. But Stormfront seems to be much savvier while Homelander approaches it with the arrogance of someone who thinks they're peerless, which is pretty much classical dramatic hubris.

Fun hearing all the callbacks to other supes and little cameos. Guy with the acid barf was a member of G-wiz in the comics (his death was more fitting in the show). Mallory suggests Frenchie killed Cold Snap and Malchemical. I know the latter was incinerated by Butcher in the comics. Frenchie apparently Xanax bombing a supe to keep him from hulking out sounds hilarious. I really wish there are more MacGyver ways used to take out supes. Looks like they changed around Lamplighter a bit. So in the series they somehow got him to turn on the seven, he tries to fry Mallory but kills her grandkids instead, and both him and Frenchie are both consumed by guilt about the circumstances. I really hope Maeve made backups because who knows what her girlfriend is going to do with that info. I wanna hear more about fish, they need to let Deep say his piece. Deep would make an awesome Steve Irwin/environmental activist.
