I'm asking this as a Jewish person, but does anyone else feel like Stormfront looks extremely Jewish? She just has the exact same hair/face/nose/body as every pretty JAP I knew in college and I cannot tell if that's written into the show or not.

The actress's father's family is Jewish.

I'm also curious if it will stay a behind-the-scenes irony or if they'll incorporate it into the show. I think it's interesting on the meta level because the actress knew who the character is when she took the job.

What was the deal in ep 1 where the Deep gets up and there was some weird goop under him? Considering there's a momentary focus on it I assume it's important.

he is a gross fish man. The end. Half the combined subplots of the fist three episodes is him coming to terms with being a gross fish man.

I was rooting for this to happen, but I'm not sure if that was the intent of the series.

I think the show is smart enough that ambiguity was the intent. It will provide some drama fuel in later interactions between Starlight and the Boys.

I have a feeling the writers were all like "oh poo poo people might get mad if we kill a baby" and just added that line as insurance.

The star of a show doesn't have to be relatable. They can be. Different stories work different ways.

Y'all are so dang arrogant about FICTION its crazy.

E: I don't think homelander is the main character but arguing so definitively over a concept as nebulous as "main character" in this context is insane.

I didn't say anything about who was or wasn't the main character. I asked how the lab-grown flying laser man was relatable to anyone.

If anything, like in real world situations with a power imbalance, I don't think anyone really could fully consent to having sex with Homelander.

The 9/11 analog in the comics is that the plane Homelander abandons goes on to destroy the brooklyn bridge.

I've seen Ennis described as a foreigner in love with America who only kinda sorta understands America.

As far as the too-cool-for-school edginess of his writing I think it's worth noting that Ennis was like 40 years old when he wrote The Boys.

edit: Unrelated/related, Meghan McCain named her daughter Liberty.

I'm guessing the head-popping congressional hearing is the show's Reichstag fire moment.

Tolkien also wrote this passage in the chapter "of herbs and stewed rabbit" where Samwise regards a dead Southron:

quote:

He was glad he that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would not really rather have stayed there in peace

so I don't think Tolkien's ideas are as without subtlety as some here think.

If Cash comes back next season it may be in flashbacks since they're supposed to be diving into some supe history per Kripke's last interview.
