With Noir the nature of his costume and lack of talking mean they could just pull a fresh one out of the vat like Rei Ayanami.

Shageletic posted:considering that it's pretty much how the strike against Osama Bin Laden went, including killing unarmed women, and it was celebrated as a triumph...i think not. This is why Stormfront kills all the witnesses to her racist killings If they decide to kill civilians out in the open, that would be a huge point of no return.

Thundercracker posted:Bummer this season is only 8 episodes. It is making things feel a little rushed, like how Butcher went from desperately scrawling out the height of trees and angle of the sun in Becca's neighborhood to being handed her address in 2 episodes. Given how bloated a lot of the streaming service 12 episode shows are though, I don't mind.

Wondering whether Homelander saved Stilwell's baby for some scheme or weird power thing down the line? Becoming her authoritative figure or parent to one-up Stilwell/reverse their dynamic one last time or something. I guess it's also possible the writers just didn't want Butcher to become a baby killer and keep him somewhat redeemable. Also surprised that Homelander didn't persist with his own son so readily after seeing clear proof that he's got powers too. I did like how Vaught's response to Becca was "he'll get bored eventually" and it seems to be true, kinda showing that the corporate knows him far better than he's likely willing to admit.

It's like a Clark Kent backstory but done in the most corporate-sociopathic way possible. Wouldn't be surprised if they're planning to have some kind of 'defining moment' for him like Becca being Uncle Ben'd. w0o0o0o fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Sep 15, 2020 |

I'm just hoping when Black Noir's mask comes off he's not Sloth from The Goonies. I'm guessing he's kinda hosed up mentally anyway, but the sobbing at the news was heartbreaking

Yeah, I recall a great deal of discussion about how the Marvel Netflix shows could all have stood to be 8 or 9 episodes a season instead of 13 except perhaps Daredevil S1. But at the same time, the last two seasons of Game of Thrones show what happens when you try to overcompress. From my perspective I'd err on the side of length; I feel like I'd rather watch a show with a strong beginning and end that sagged a bit in the middle than a Greatest Hits compilation of story beats. The way Butcher was given Becca's location works in service to the plot, though. For all his talk about the seven Ps, it shows up that Butcher really isn't very good at anything other than hitting people and that he isn't a team player.

Question for the people that read the comics, please spoiler the answer, not everyone may want to know the answer So, compound V being real is big news, which means that there is no real reason Vought should've been the only company trying to poach heroes to work for them. In the comics, is there a discount superhero corporation with off brand The Seven or something similar? Obviously Vought wouldn't let them have any of the good ones, but to give the appearance of "free competition" it would be good for them to have a few of those around.

It's be a hoot if Black Noir takes his mask off and his body is all charred and gross like Deadpool because he's got Hyper Healing as a power and terrorsupe didn't gently caress him up at all.Jedit posted:The way Butcher was given Becca's location works in service to the plot, though.

Fanservice-y as it would have been, I wish Homelander had let Blindspot go a round or two with Black Noire. It fit his nature better to just deafen him there on the spot though.

Mr. Nemo posted:Question for the people that read the comics, please spoiler the answer, not everyone may want to know the answer There wasn't, really. Vought was huge on keeping all the superheroes under their umbrella, even the less than useful ones. It was done in a real edgelordy way, but they had a superteam who had some mental disabilities but also superpowers. They weren't as famous or as rich as the Seven, but they were kept under control, out of the way, and they all had incomes. Playing along with Vought was in every supe's best interest. Jedit posted:
I think the location thing was more of a lack of resources than anything else. The US is a big, big country you can hide all sorts of poo poo in pretty easily. Even a walled compound like that wouldn't be impossible with enough money, but the CIA or the NSA would be able to find it really, really fast if they were trying. Vought has to list all their assets somewhere for tax purposes and the government would have access to all those records and they would absolutely want to know about a walled compound that size inside the continental US.

The guy on the stairwell wasn't a witness to anything- she killed him because she'd a racist. The people living on the next two floors above that guy didn't witness anything, she still killed them too. She was going out of her way to kill people. She was going out of her way to kill black people.

I want Black Noire's mask to come off and the reveal to be that he's just really into the whole part he plays like a wrestler or something sticking to kayfabe at all times and that he's just a normal super dude who's completely dedicated to his job because he believed he really was a natural born super hero and that he was the Good Guy.

Under his mask is yet another mask. And below that mask? Another mask. His actual super power is that he is constructed of nothing but nested sentient masks.

Some of you guys are bad at watching TV shows. I'd compare the way the super child is being raised to a home schooled kid. He seems to have tutors and a grandmother figure that he regularly goes to when Becca does "errands". It's not like Vought is poor so they're probably willing to invest some infrastucture into the project since they were clearly very concerned that Becca was going to kill herself in front of the child. The compound seems to be pretty massive and he's still pretty young so it's not like he'd chomping at the bit to get out and see the world. He's probably not going to be the most social or outgoing kid. I think the thing that's most likely to cause him issues is Homelander turning up out of nowhere, claiming to be your father and then throwing you off the roof. Though we've already seen him react to that by rejecting Homelander and his ideals. I'm pretty sure the reason why they didn't want any witnesses on the aeroplane incident was because it was a plane that had american citizens on it and if they couldn't save all of them there was no point in saving some of them; plus he was able to spin it as reason to let them into the army. Also regarding Homelander actions in front of the army, if you think back to the scene you can see and hear all the soliders grimacing and looking disgusted as he proceeds to laser the compound and then casually walks out to declare the job done. Bioshuffle posted:I'm talking about the fact that she blows up an entire building and kills like what was it- 80 people? She wanted them gone. Look, I get your bad at watching TV but the implication is that she recognises the building is mostly full of minorities and therefore gleefully tears through it with her powers and then shifts the blame to the terrorist; a convient excuse for her to let loose. Also that whole "empowered women would get an abortion thing" is pretty ignorant and even though you're bad at watching TV you really shouldn't have come to that conclusion. Becca deciding to stick with the child was a pretty sad scene for me, you understand why she did it but wow that would have hurt Butcher. I'm glad all you guys are enjoying the two Kiwi actors on the show and that people have a greater appreciation for Antony Starr. He did an amazing job on Outrageous Fortune (New Zealand Crime Drama Comedy Show) playing twin brothers that were the exact opposite of one another.

The scene of the brother that was beaten by Liberty did give Emmet Till vibes and that connection to reality and real horrors made me recoil in a visceral way. Thats probably the first scene that's made me uncomfortable like that, and the first scene where on my rewatch I had to look away from basically the whole thing because holy gently caress gently caress racists, gently caress racial violence, and gently caress this thread for reminding me how insidious it still is. I'm glad that there are still enough people to call this poo poo out

My wife has no prior exposure to this show. No S1 watch, no comics, maybe a passing recognition of ads for it. She walked into the living room when Liberty's Gran Ol Lynching happened and all she said was "well that's fuckin racist". So people misreading that scene at all is just super insane to me.

Mr. Nemo posted:Question for the people that read the comics, please spoiler the answer, not everyone may want to know the answer The comic and the show are two different things, almost everything has been modified and there's been some massive changes. I mean, major major ones that I'll avoid saying. That said the Seven are suppose to be the best of the best, none are treated as their equals. Payback is the second big team lead by Stormfront but they're vastly over shadowed by the Seven and are all about wanting to get as popular as the Seven are or maybe even joining them. Vought is the only real deal in town behind the supers with comic books, movies and all that merchandise behind them. That and Vought in the comic appear to be much better at keeping the supers under control than the show version does to this point in time. Even Highlander can be intimidated in the comic by the guy who basically is appointed to control the Seven and he's a normal man. He's so one of the best parts of the comic despite being part of the Vought cogwork. The Last Call fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Sep 15, 2020 |

Black noir will hide in a corner and mimic the sound of a carbon monoxide detector with a school recorder so that Vought doesn't get dinged by the building inspector The deep will continue to be illiterate and get sent to a shittier city because he thinks the bad guy is behind a door marked pirate when it actually says private Homelander refuses to leave floor 99 after a botched chemical peel
