Has anyone voted for 'Homelander gets temporarily depowered AND he runs for President'? I think that could be fun for a season -- him having to play a different flavour of asymmetrical warfare while faking still having powers.

I could imagine a moment where Homelander gets depowered, and in his weakness suddenly notices how beautiful the world can be, right before getting squished.

Wait until you hear Butcher's counter play, reveal the lab Homelander was created in was in International Waters so he's not actually a US citizen.

Or that they made him from genetic material from Stormfront, meaning he's an incestous Nazi loving weirdo with a Oedipus complex.

That'd be not only closer to the violence and complete depravity of the show, but a horrendously weird thing to gently caress up his mind, especially given how he was acting in season 1.

I actually feel like they're being pretty consistent with Homelander's flight ability. He can fly really fast, but he can't generate much force while in the air.

So he couldn't fly against the plane in S1 to move it, he got knocked out of the air by the subway train, and he got yanked out of the air by his cape. He also couldn't just fly up while he was being held down, he had to knock them off him first.

He couldn't stop the plane because planes are made of aluminum. He'd punch a hole through it

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
He lasered the pilot's console and some of the copilot's, but it's possible that there was still control authority in the cockpit and a manual reversion system since he just hit the screens for the most part. Total loss of hydraulics would mean the control surfaces are very hard to move around... unless you happen to have super strength.

Would have been worth a try if there was no other options. But he could fly, so see ya :yikes:

I'm getting the feeling we won't be seeing another Homelander/SB fight this season and they're actually building up to either Starlight or Hughie releasing the plane video and all next season will be Nothin' To Lose Homelander with The Boys + Boy (or the Boy Boys, as they like to be called) chasing him.

His head exploded at the end of Season 2.

Speaking of, do we know what Victoria Neuman's deal is? She's an anti-Vought activist in her public life, but she secretly exploded a bunch of people's heads in the hearing to get Vought out of trouble. Is she just pretending to be an anti-supe activist so she can get information she can use for her agenda? Maybe I'm just bad at watching TV, or maybe they haven't said yet.

Victoria's kid is weaponizing mortality to blackmail Victoria into working with Vought so Victoria can ultimately eke some V out of the company. Victoria can't explode the kid because the child uses chemical and psychic signals to manipulate Neuman into thinking she has to protect her at all costs.

She seems like a social climber who has just latched onto Deep to improve her standing. I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to gently caress Homelander before the season's done.

In the comic, "Buffalo Bob," which Edgar calls the guy, does become President, but "Vic the Veep," who's a near-braindead Dubya lookalike and not Claudia Doumit, is Vought's plant in the White House.
