Can't say that description really grabbed me, but I guess we'll see.

I'm a curmudgeon and I've always hated movies set in, around, or about colleges or college students. I hope they do more than Animal House with super powers, I guess we'll see. That description doesn't inspire much confidence.

I mentioned it before, but yea, that's his legit stand in for the show.

His name is Anthony as well :haw:

Most notably, he was the stand in for Starr in the last scene of episode 4.

Ha ha that makes the quick visual gag even more hilarious like how he had the perfect hair style of the actual Homelander.

I wonder if it's going to be a contrast to "liberal safe spaces" and show a college filled with yianoplis and petersen clones running everything.

still bummed that they didn't go with the theory that she was his mom because that's significantly funnier but honestly what they went with was close enough

This makes me want something like The Office but for the Compound V production, with the upstairs being the low-level supes with crappy powers and the warehouse being normal people who are much cooler and happier than the supes.

Shockwave visits The Seven HQ-

Shockwave: "HOMELANDER!!!"

Yeah, as I reread the description- I hate this. Maybe it'll be better than it sounds?

I hope so, because it sounds like American Pie 5: Supe Edition

I hope that A-Train ends up joining Maeve and The Deep. Because this Church of the Collective storyline is going nowhere.

As powerful as Stormfront is, she's still scared of Homelander. I wonder how the goalposts will be moved this time re: her very obvious reveal that she is a nazi.

Holy poo poo, you won't believe it but Stormfront was and is a Nazi

Who saw that coming. Boy, if only the show hadn't danced around the issue and gave us some clues. I mean, wow, came out of nowhere. No one had any clue at all. Like none. There was no evidence. At all.

They made Lamplighter a thousand more times interesting than his zombie poop smearing comic self. The guy is guilt filled over what he did to the kids and he's going to co operate with the Boys. Nice twist. So Love Sausage is just a patient and not Butchers old buddy, guess he'll avoid his comic book fate. Frenchie finally got some good back story, liked how Kimiko was giving him poo poo and how she was so happy to see Starlight, that was nice.

Deep should be one rich motherfucker. There are still a ton of old lost treasure ships down in the ocean. He could have a Scrooge style money pit with all that Spanish gold

I get the impression anything he finds goes straight to Vought. Which likely means he really has given them several treasures worth at this point. In fact it's a bit surprising they wouldn't have him always searching for more.

Holy poo poo that was an awesome episode. Loved the Love Sausage bit, even if it was incredibly gross and silly. Im surprised MM didn't freak out more honestly, considering how OCD he is about hygiene.

Also I wonder how powerful that supe we saw hitch hiking at the end is. Lamplighter seemed terrified of her, and even though stormfront incapacitated her she didn't seem to have any long term injuries. I wonder what effect her powers would have on someone like stormfront or homelander, since they almost certainly wouldn't just vaporize them.

Maybe there's some detail I just missed, but I don't understand how they were holding her there in the first place if she could just crush the cell doors like tin cans anyway.

Lamplighter also seems like a scrub tier supe. Sure he can manipulate fire, but he still needs a source first. I bet that's the real reason he was fired from The Seven.

LL said that a doctor messed up her medication dosage. While that was obviously a lie, it's probably not far from the truth and probably how they keep all of them in check.

But like you said, it still doesn't explain how she could instantly crush all the other doors once hers was blown open.

When Stormfront shows up again and asks what happened, the excuse Lamplighter gives is that the doctor hosed up her medication. She also seemed kinda doped up when she first leaves her cell.

No good deed goes unpunished

Holy poo poo. What an episode. So much to unpack. The Nazi reveal was absolutely fantastic, and the reveal was worth waiting six episodes for. A bit disappointed they went the cliche route, but she stands to be one of the more memorable Nazi villains since Red Skull and the guy from Indiana Jones.

One thing that stood out to me. How is Butcher is able to walk into a hospital without being accosted. Hasn't he been America's most wanted ever since the Stillwell incident?

I loved the fact that Jay ends up dying anyway. That was a nice little detail to pile on top of the tragedy sandwich.

The X-Ray thing Amazon has said that the dosages are tricky because apparently Propofol interacts weirdly with V. I think that's why she believed him so quickly.

And that spin-off show sounds like the G-Men thing from the comics, and maybe that's how they bring them in.

You'd think Vought could afford to have some more failsafe lockdown methods in place rather than simply trusting drugs to keep them sedated.
