God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

Apparently they're doing this: "Amazon is dropping the first three episodes all at once on September 4. But after that, you'll have to wait for another new episode each Friday. That means The Boys Season 2 finale won't air until October 9."

Bastards! Maybe I'll wait until they're all out, but I doubt I can hold off.

yup. Looks like we're live. I was watching "inside the boys" and e1 (a season 1 recap) auto played into e2 where the intro spoiled the first episode of s2.

I see they recast Homelander's kid because they decided to make him a huge loving dweeb instead of a budding psycho.

Unfortunately, I don't think Stormfront is going to be the alt-right to Homelander's fascism. I think she's just comic relief.

So people talk about the show longer. The binge watch limits discussion for all but a few shows.

Hughie seemed too emo but he seems to be snapping out of it by ep 3

Stormfront is vile but funny, Homelander is funny but vile, it's a subtle difference

They teased the 'fly' which I know they said was an accident in the 1st season but they may be rolling with it to be something more

Wolverine or a strong imitation was apparently a founding member of the Seven, in that movie pitch of their origin

Welp episode 3 really sets the plot for the rest of the season. That might've been my favorite episode of the show.

Finished all three episodes, and spoiler free review is basically "loving batshit insane in a good way". Or, as Butcher would say, "loving diabolical".

I'm honestly surprised as how much character development happens for the characters we already thought we knew pretty well.

Black Noir is still great. :colbert:

Stormfront seemed pretty cool the first couple episodes but man that name couldn’t have telegraphed the heel turn any harder.

holy poo poo, I can't tell if Stormfront planned the housing estate massacre or she just got annoyed by the screaming and decided to just burn them all. crazy how quick it changed to her manufacturing a terrorist attack. plus it was definitely not a coincidence it was a whole house of PoC and she ended it off by slurring the guy as she killed him.

also the black/purple eye effects are nuts

The friction between Homelander and Stormfront should be fun. He's more of the corporate go America evil and she's more gently caress it who cares evil with a dash of racsism, but at every level they're pretty much the same person who doesn't give a gently caress about regular people. A kind of person that is going to hate someone just like them long-term.

I am so glad this show is back and I can't wait for the next episode.

Yeah there are multiple reasons The Mandalorian was the breakout hit of 2019 but dragging out the excitement and the conversation over the course of 2 months was a huge factor. Compared to say, The Witcher, which people binged in a week, the song went viral, and everyone stopped talking about it after a few days.
