So as insane as this might sound what are the odds of SF turning out to be Homelanders mother/egg donor? I mean if your plan is to create the most powerful super it seems using genetic material from the first and one of the most power supers in existence at the time seems like a no brainer from Vought.

That's what happens in the comics, but they took such a different take on almost everything else that at the moment it's really "who knows".

Alchenar posted:Nah, there's Edgar's age, his position in the company, his knowledge of Vought's true history, his close connection to Stormfront and collaboration on the Compound-V research, all point to him being at least a little bit of a Nazi. edgar can know about the nazi stuff, he just doesnt need to care about it. im not sure there’s a justification to force a motive on the human embodiment of company that’s more complex than wanting the sweet, sweet cash that would come with selling a bunch of (white) elites a wonder drug e: a theme of the show is not just the greed of capitalistic institutions, but that they are shameless and uninterested in anything except their own perpetuation. they’ll gladly market to both Christian conservatives angry about “the gays” and progressives who want more LGBTQ+ woman superheroes. it doesn’t matter to them. profit is profit.

Edgar absolutely believes in a master race as well, it's just determined by money instead of skin color. I bet his end goal is remarkably similar to hers, with the world being ruled by a group of immortal demigods in some form or another.

Also Solice Kirsk posted:We're all assuming Stormfront is a the majority share holder of Vought right? Yes that's the only history of the character that makes sense. Which means that when Stormfront tells us what Vought's objectives are, we should take her at her word. Alchenar fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Sep 26, 2020 |

Speculation for later in the season: I assume the show is repeatability reminding the viewers that Starlights power is connected with electricity so that there can be a fight where Homelander fails to defeat Stormfront but Starlight can.

Bip Roberts posted:Speculation for later in the season: There was also the scene in set trailer where Stormfront said something like "we will shoot our scene together soon" That combined with all the "I need electricity to harvest for my powers!" and they are definitely building up to a Stormfront vs starlight confrontation. I just noticed the names are similar too. (almost) Baseless prediction Starlight is going to harvest so much power from Stormfront she loses control and does something bad, possibly killing a lot of people. This is going to play into the guilt she felt last episode killing the guy, but its also going to parallel Stormfront slaughtering everyone in that apartment building. Stormfront/Voight/Homelander might even use this to advance her agenda and turn the public against Starlight, possibly with some leaked cell phone video. Very minor spoiler alluding to something in that Aya Cash interview. "Everybody on The Boys seems like they get coated with tons of blood and entrails at some point in the show. Did the rest of the cast have to prepare you for what it’s like having to sit in makeup for that? I lucked out, I don’t have much of that … until I do, let’s put it that way. They really got me near the end. I had something that took six and half hours of hair and makeup. But I just put a podcast in and conk out when it’s that long. You can chat for a while, but at a certain point you’re like, I have to rest." I wonder if this is just about the laser tits or something else? Probably something else.

BurritoJustice posted:The episode 7 sneak peak from the Episode 6 aftershow has Stormfront and Homelander visiting Ryan and Becca, with Homelander saying they will be around a lot more to start a proper family which will probably lead to Becca making a break with Ryan and begging Butcher to help which was in the episode summary from before Man it would be so deliciously satisfying if Stormfront tries to pressure Ryan just like Homelander did but Ryans lasers are so much stronger and actually kills Stormfront. Basically I just wanna see Stormfront die? But I also dont, because shes fun to hate. Either way, Ryan doing it would be great. He could represent how Zoomers are our only hope for finally removing this really old flavor of fascism.

People are obsessed with the idea that this or that supe could actually take down Homelander "Stormfront can tank his lasers and..." "Starlight could charge herself up, so..." "The Deep could drown him if..." "The headcrusher lady is probably..." Give it up. If he gets serious about it he goes through any of them like a knife through hot butter, which is why he's the kind of problem he is

Crespolini posted:People are obsessed with the idea that this or that supe could actually take down Homelander Stormfront having the power to defeat him would be consistent with her being the original supe. I don't think anyone else has a chance. Also Homelander ego is so constructed on being invincible being emasculated by losing a fight would drive him to a way darker place than he already is.

Crespolini posted:Give it up. If he gets serious about it he goes through any of them like a knife through hot butter, which is why he's the kind of problem he is Strong disagree. Translucent was invulnerable until he wasn't. We do not know the limits of Homelander's powers. Not knowing creates fear and is part of his power; but that doesn't mean he is unkillable. For all we know, he has some major kryptonite that would completely wreck him, its just nobody knows what it is yet. But even without an obvious flaw, he could still be killable but just so feared that nobody dares to try to find out what all it would take. He's definitely, unarguably one of the most powerful. But I don't think Stomfront is like, waaaaaaay more fragile than he is or anything. If anything maybe he's a bit more strong, that's all.

Speculation about who can beat Homelander avoids the best part of his character- how several people by now have figured out how to effectively handle him by his ego and mental issues, but it's never a long term solution and always ends up biting them in the end because he's always going to turn on you Remind you of another blond?

Solice Kirsk posted:We're all assuming Stormfront is a the majority share holder of Vought right? 100% there's no way she would give up control of her husband's company, it just wouldn't happen under normal greedy circumstances, but who is gonna stop her? Breakfast Burrito posted:presuming he means trans women, being attracted to them is not evidence of him being bi, that would still make him straight. FWIW, this scene really stuck out in my mind specifically because it seemed really well handled: Frenchie is promoting it because he wants trans strippers, and MM literally says "thanks man, strippers just aren't my thing, with or without nuts" and then we get another amazing MM moment when his eyes light up thinking of spending a week golfing. I am Bi and having my favorite character in the show and the one who I respond to the most being Bi makes me feel SO GOOD! Seeing him in a weird drug-fueled throuple was awesome and i forgive the show for absolutely wasting him for the last 2 episodes, this payoff was very Frenchie-centric and it was great. EPISODE THOUGHTS: Starlight losing her soul is sad and hard to watch, but I'm also detecting weird tension between her and Butcher. Am I totally insane for thinknig they might be foreshadowing some kind of dark Buffy/Spike relationship that destroys Hughie and drives a wedge between everyone? I really don't know Stormfront being Homelander's Grandma still feels like a very real possibility. This show has gone to extraordinary, painstaking depths to try and humanize Homelander, A-Train, and The Deep despite them being disgusting murderers and rapists. like the citizens of the show's world, the show doesn't work if they are all these monolithic alien gods, like Black Noir. Their insecurity, their need for love and attention, their inability to accept their limitations, all of these things are more than 99% of villains in shows get even in 2020. The entire hospital sequence was just awesome, this show has really knocked it out of the park. Love Sausage and literal Akira both were horrifying. Kimiko's knucks uwu

Based on Homelander's relationship with Mallory I could see a "Stormfront = grandma" plot twist going either way with him. Either he'll be suuuuper ( ) into it or he'll snap and kill her for lying and ruining his chance at making a "real American family" with her and his kid.
