Shooting Blanks posted:Probably getting around to starting S2 this weekend since we're going to have poo poo weather for awhile. How is this season compared to S1 - worth watching? Yes, it certainly is. The new format means there's time to digest each episode (if you're watching week to week). Homelander continues to be Homelander, the characters are being fleshed out more, and there's more backstory being added. Pikehead fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Sep 19, 2020 |

As Nero Danced posted:I bet after the next episode the argument will be "OK, Stormfront is a racist and apparently hasn't aged in decades, but does that make her really a nazi?" Then the episode after that she shouts seig heil and does a roman salute, and the goalposts will shift again. Called it. For my next prediction, "she was a Nazi but she defected, so she isn't anymore."

As Nero Danced posted:Called it. For my next prediction, "she was a Nazi but she defected, so she isn't anymore." You'd be surprised. You should look up Operation Paperclip, where tons of Nazis defected to gain immunity for their war crimes. They literally became ex-Nazis. A lot of those scientists ended up contributing a lot to American progress, actually. A lot of the reasons they gained that immunity had to do with the cold war, but that's for another thread. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip Also, I'm beginning to wonder if there are multiple versions of black noir. One dies, they bring in another and vice versa.

I agree, if you were a time traveller who has never heard of anything that has happened after ww2, including the moon race and the scene from this very show from a week ago when they said that the founder of the company who makes superheroes was a Nazi scientist recruited by the us towards the end of the war, you'd be surprised.

It's a 14 year old comic and the show doesn't really follow it, so I'd think conjecture is fine. But also who cares, we all click on the Spoiler Tags as soon as we see them

The fact remains Stormfront has not confirmed she is a Nazi. We've seen that she was a racist superhero named Liberty, but there have been no references in the show that references her being a Nazi. A lot of people are pointing to her uniform, but the last time I checked, the Nazis did not wear capes (despite what some goons may believe). The armband thing isn't even a red herring. The Nazi armband was only worn on one arm. Not both sides. If you think she is, you're entitled to your guess just as I am entitled to mine. Once again, she may very well be a Nazi but the show has not confirmed this. I'm not even saying she isn't one, I'm just stating the fact that the show has not confirmed it yet. This isn't an opinion, it's an indisputable fact.

Oh poo poo, did anyone have 'Nazis did not wear capes' on their bingo card? e: for anyone tracking: Still think Stormfront is nominally a plant by Vought to get Homelander back under control, though she obviously also has her own supe-nazi-supremist agenda going on. Also still think A-Train is on the long road to a redemption arc where the conflict is going to be when he ends up allied to The Boys and Hughie has to deal with that (although the climax of Season 1 had Hughie decide to save A-train's life, so the main part of the grief and anger he's carrying has been dealt with).

Episode six opening: Starlight has snuck into Stormfront's trailer again and is rummaging through her drawers. She finds some kind of ID card - all the words are in German, it's dated 1940, and the photo is clearly of Stormfront, albeit with that haircut they give every woman acting in a movie set during WW2. Starlight snaps a picture and texts it to Hughie, who does some google sleuthing and confirms it is an official Nazi party membership card. "She's a loving Nazi!" he shouts. Bioshuffle: ok, but maybe her membership was kind of a Schindler's List type situation. Hulk Krogan fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Sep 19, 2020 |

"Lot's of people where in the interrogation department of SS back then. Just because she was leading that doesn't mean that she believed in the ideology. Maybe she wanted to change the system from the inside."

I think it would be fair to use spoiler tags for the comics if just because I know a decent chunk of people have started reading the comics because of the show, or at least trying to. A lot of people drop them because they're turbo edgy and very dated.

Vought founder was a NAZI scientist (founder or hired scientist? can't remember), he went to America with his first successful experiment super NAZI soldier Stormfront so I guess the history is that she did so many awful things as Liberty that with public opinion changing about racism they 'retired' her and now she's back with a new name and reinvented to the new times. She probably has a lot of pull inside the company and knows Edgar personally
