You know I always assumed Homelander was more powerful than Omni Man but now that I replay their various feats of strength in my head I'm not so sure. Omni Man's definitely taken more licks, but it's exclusively from extremely powerful beings. Homelander has no peers in the show so we never see him injured, but we also never see him lift an entire mountain or fly faster than light.

questions of 'who is more powerful' are answered by the needs of the narrative

homelander and omni man and superman are the apex powers of their respective fictional worlds, questions of precisely how much they can lift or how fast they can fly are pointless. in the first couple episodes of invincible we see omni man get beat up and injured by some scrub justice league knockoffs in the process of killing them and also genocide an entire technologically advanced planet almost instantly, there's an incongruence there but the details don't matter because either way he still fills the role of most powerful dude

I'm always amused by how they'll go to extreme violence but even mild nudity would be a big no no.

The sanitized violence demanded of the BSS crowd is puerile in the extreme, a case of child-brained adults clinging to a manufactured ideology.

But I think that really does highlight why the gore and the violence in Invincible works: because it's the point, and because it's uncomfortable. My favorite moments in this kind of fiction comes from where they really do edge closer to horror territory--this is much more apt in The Boys, where any scene with Homelander is genuinely terrifying.

most superpowers would be useless in a world where people knew how to use guns anyway, aside from the absurd poo poo like superman

real life 'superheroes' wouldn't be fighting criminals, they'd be players in America's most popular new combat sports series

The show got me to read the comics and while I'm not big on comics they were a decent read. I liked that they basically were, as others have mentioned, sort of a big melting pot of all the typical comic stories and tropes all mixed up, good times.

It's also either disturbingly reactionary ideologically or a Verhoeven-like satire, can't decide which.

Most important thing I'm waiting for to show up now is thicc Eve
