The Last Call posted:In response, The Boys twitter account posted an image of the various stars holding up four figures to signal the fourth season. The way Vicky is holding up her four fingers could also be interpreted as gesturing "Oops" or surprise/shock.

Elephant Ambush posted:If Ryan is the contingency plan it's a lovely plan for a few reasons: I think if withholding/killing Ryan is the contingency plan, it's a happy accident for Vought. They didn't have a 20-year plan on this one, but Stan Edgar is happy to play a good card that he's been dealt.

It would actually be kinda funny for them to do the twist from the comics but it turns out nobody cares / they think its all a deep state plot / his base decides it's good, actually.

On that note, some predictions: 1) Homelander is either going to do all the awful stuff that Black Noir did in the comics--all on his own volition. No gaslighting or anything, just Homelander coming up with it all on his own. 2) Homelander and Starlight will be an actual couple--at least for a few episodes. Starlight will be Homelander's most recent attempt at a romantic relationship... Thus, Starlight will see the smallest glimpse of humanity in Homelander and go for it (because writers enjoy their love triangles & "good girl/bad boy" relationships)... But then break it off eventually, because Homelander's beyond the point where a healthy relationship is possible. In the meanwhile, this will further increase Hughie's feelings of emasculation.

Darko posted:Magento is a terrible comparison, as he's just a mix of Malcom X/Black Panther figures that want liberation and won't mind being violent to oppressors that use violence against his people. He's a lot more chill than Cyclops in that at this point. Homelander is any number of evil Supermen that have been created, this one just with specific ego and emotional issues going on that make him psychopathic. Every season has every tether containing him failing, which is kind of the point. Currently he feels he has none and is probably going to hit a huge wall of hubris for it. what I mean is that homelander seems to believe the poo poo he's selling and has a vision for what the world should be beyond himself

Huh. Gunpowder actually showed up in episode 2 of the first season. When they contact Cherie to create a distraction for Homelander she's watching an interview with him about a mall shooting. (spoiler: it could have been prevented if more people had guns). I did not remember that.

It is interesting that Homelander threatened Starlight with Hughie getting the Super Sonic treatment rather than just threatening her directly. It could just be because he honestly thinks she might still fall for him rather than any comment on her power I guess. Hughie squaring up to Homelander earlier on in the episode was a neat touch. It's not often we see someone looking taller than Homelander either.

I'm thinking Soldier Boy either is actually a big coward and surrendered the second more than one guy was around him, or he defected.

She’s been conspiring to murder him for a while now, actively covering for a group of people who murdered Translucent, for over a year. He returned her assaulter to the team instead either of two qualified women. He undermines her constantly in extremely sexist terms, gets people associated with her fired, and murdered her ex, one of the few nice people in her life. Last season, he accused her of terrorism and locked her up within her workplace. They are not going to fall in love.

Just watched the episode, unwilling to read the last four pages. The A-Train ad made me as upset and uncomfortable as the Lil’ Starlight dance routine, last week. Somehow, I feel like complicit for even passively viewing. Kimiko theory: she’ll be in critical condition for most of the next episode, but will make a miraculous recovery. Thus, establishing that Soldier Boy’s anti-power ray has an effect timer and even if they hit Homelander, there’s still only a small window to kill him.

If Butcher isn't a total bastard, I see him microdosing Kimiko to kickstart her healing ability if Hughie didn't use up all his temp-V stash near the start of next episode. Currently wondering what powers Frenchie and Mothers Milk would manifest if they took temp-V/V24 vs their baseline powerset from the comics series. Stan Edgar doesn't have superpowers, he flat out told Homelander exactly how Homelander is going to gently caress up Homelander's coup attempt at taking over Vought. Managing Vought is a full time job so all the poo poo Vought covered up under the reign of Vogelbaum, then Stillwell, and then Edgar isn't going to be covered up going forward; given that Homelander only cares about himself and has approximately zero of the political maneuvering skills and contacts that even day 1 new hires at any upper management position have.

Either Kimiko or Frenchie is not long for this world. Whenever characters talk about doing one last job and then they can go to X place, that never materializes.

He's a relatively skinny dude underneath all that padding - I was actually surprised they did the nude scene with him because it was so jarring how tiny he looked out of the suit, but I guess if you're an invincible flying man with eye lasers you don't really have an incentive to hit the gym.

Mat Cauthon posted:Homelander knows that Edgar isn't scared of him, and is willing to talk poo poo to his face. Homelander can't conceive of anything except brute power - he can be sneaky and he's not dumb but to him power is just who can do the most violence the fastest. Edgar isn't afraid of Homelander, even after , getting kneecapped by his adopted supe daughter/secret assassin, ergo Edgar must know or have something that could harm Homelander. It's straight up Abuser Dynamics 101.

nah, supersonic was loving dead the moment he was introduced, you can't really build tension in the love triangle when you 100% know one of them isn't going to make it to the end of season, or likely even to the end of the next episode.

People have been speculating how the show will continue into more seasons because you can't just have Homelander be an escalating psycho into infinity, and I think it'll be something like this. He goes completely off the leash, starts to enact his "kill the whole world" plan, Soldier Boy and the rest temporarily humble him, and he spends Season 4 waging war on humanity from his base on the moon like Rita Repulsa

Yeah if Starlight falls for Homelander I will not only stop watching this show, but will hit myself in the head with a big dildo until I forget about its existence. What a horrible idea.
