Horizon Burning posted:Edgar said he's not worried about homelander because he has a way to control him - do we know what that was? Was it stormfront? Edgar has probably thought of hundreds of scenarios where Homelander kills them. He’s probably thought of them for 40 years, with the richest consultants he could afford. He might die, but he won’t be truly surprised. Nobody can cover up that many murders and be like “well it will never happen to me!”

consultants are highly paid yes-men wrapped in the veneer of technical expertise to justify things that executives want to do anyway and are always wrong

Nope, half the time consultants have good ideas that the corporation is too dysfunctional to use. Both sides of the chicken need to be functional for a consultant to help, which barely ever happens. And if it does, people don’t put out a press release “we’re changing our company because we hired a consultant“.

If I were a consultant I'd just interview all the lower level employees who actually do the work and then steal their ideas.

voodoonoid posted:One thing I have noticed is there is a lot of Maeve being absent. The actress lived in Ireland and apparently it was hard to get much filming in with COVID. It's a shame because she's one of my favourites and schedules willing she'd likely be involved a bunch more now that she is working with Butcher.

Edgar controls Homelander through his ego and narcissism. He can give and take what Homelander craves the most: the love of the public. He controls Vought which controls the PR and marketing around Homelander. Of course that only works as long as Homelander wants to be loved more than he cares about being feared...

Deserves? Ryan. I think it'll be Hughie when all is said and done for maximum irony or he'll just off himself accidentally in an act of hubris. Thing is I honestly have absolutely no idea how it's going to wind up, which is great.

It is a little weird if he's the main backup, as he is just a kid who would need a mix of training and motivation against someone who already easily kills people like it's nothing. I thought the backup was the head popper, mostly because it would be framed as something non Vought related that they could work to their advantage.

PostNouveau posted:If I were a consultant I'd just interview all the lower level employees who actually do the work and then steal their ideas. That's literally all good consulting firms do; interview the people doing useful work, and then wrap their actual useful tips and trick in a power point to present to upper management in a way that will politely circumvent the middlemanagement who have been ignoring those suggestions for years. Glad I could clear that up, that will be $1500. Don't worry I'll send an invoice to your secretary.

I don't think we've ever seen Homelander the least bit concerned about the heads exploding or even curious about why it's happening. I don't think he knows who does it either unless I missed a scene.

Mu Zeta posted:I don't think we've ever seen Homelander the least bit concerned about the heads exploding or even curious about why it's happening. I don't think he knows who does it either unless I missed a scene. I've a feeling in this particular case the only thing Homelander knows/cares about is "my head hasn't exploded yet," and "whoever's doing it is a supe which means they're one of my kind, not theirs." We're seeing that "Us vs. Them" narrative start to form in his head, and I thought I heard that they're going to feature SOME form of "Herogasm" in this season which will make everything else we've seen thus far probably pale in comparison. I do hope that we get 'supe-seeking missiles' from the comic's 'showdown' scene over Washington and A-10s blowing fliers apart with 30mm DU rounds.

Okay but please do it before I fire them like you recommended, I can't rely on the high school dropout replacement I'm hiring to do that job plus 3 others for half the pay to get it right. Nobody takes pride in their work anymore.

I know we're all making GBS threads on Hughie, for good reason, but he didn't even hesitate to have his arm broken so he could go with the team to see CIA lady. Pity it doesn't make him any less of a turd in every other way.

I have to say that Hughie is where the show is really dropping the ball. That being said, I think most of us who read the comic are/were expecting Hughie to be Butcher's emotional and moral "check and balance," which he very well might have been...in the year that's passed since last season that we never saw. Now, he's just an annoyingly neurotic boyfriend who is pathologically afraid of betrayal and...having a beautiful girlfriend who's stronger and more powerful than he is? What's next, Hughie "going his own way?" I mean, every other character in the show has positive character development so far this season, even Homelander is doing amazing at becoming the "bad guy." Hughie is just spinning his wheels. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 07:01 on Jun 6, 2022 |

In season 2 when the Senate popping was going on, he was just basically looking around like "Huh, this is new". I think he's been king poo poo of the planet long enough to not be worried about anything harming him.

He also didn’t hesitate telling Butcher that his boss was the Big Bad, even though he knew he’d eat poo poo over it. I was expecting that poo poo to be dragged out all season, but that expectation was subvert.

It’s not that Starlight is stronger or more powerful. It’s like dating Beyoncé if she could benchpress a truck. Her q rating makes her one of the most popular people on the planet; she has multiple movies, TV shows, and public appearances all the time. And their relationship, which was manipulated by Butcher who almost assassinated her, has repeatedly placed them in mortal peril. That’s why we get uptown girl twice: he’s out of his league with a girl he loves cuz he can’t perform the typical American role of “boyfriend/protector/breadwinner“. And turns out his boss is the exact same way, capable of killing him instantaneously. It’s not notable that Hugh is freaking out pretty much constantly. It might be the most realistic part of the show. And his tangible insecurity is provoking choices from Starlight. That’s why we’re getting a lot of screen time and flashbacks from her.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I'm still not entirely sure he's not playing Starlight. He didn't magically go from "do you know how much racist poo poo I had to eat/put up with" to "oh wow you're totally right I wanna help you bring all of this down and have your back" THAT loving quickly. Homelander is still going to kill him, though - because he'll be on *Vought's* team, not his.

I hope Supersonic isn’t a shithead just because it’s a boring trope when the hot guy the protagonist is jealous of is a douchebag, solving the problem of the love triangle instantly.
