Gaius Marius posted:She cannot. The whole point of Homelander is he's stronger than everyone else. Every time a new person or power is introduced there's someone speculating how they could actually take down Homelander. It's really a wonder he's lasted this long, being so vulnerable to everything

Season finale was pretty good. Decent hooks. I'm guessing they're going to go with co-opted liberal activism for the next season with the AOC analogue exploding heads to protect Vought while openly railing against them.

You know, I just realized that the scene where Neumann is holding a rally after Homelander's war crime is a LOT different now that we know about her powers. When Homelander flies in and lands and there's that ominous whoosh/thud and she looks terrified of him when he asks for the mic it's pretty interesting to know that she may have been able to murder him right then and there. Again, we have no way of knowing whether or not she could have done that but at the very least we know she wasn't completely defenseless if it escalated.

This is super nerdy but the nosebleed indicates that it’s some kind of pressurization taking place inside the skull as opposed to an exterior force exerting pressure over the skull, so I feel like she could get Homelander if she keep a bead on him. I don’t think she could nuke him in flight .

In the comic Homelander was indestructible apart from the thing they took out of the show if I remember right.

I think the Homelander in the comics is a lot less indestructible than he thinks. When Queen Maeve hits him in the face with her sword, he doesn't react to it but he has a clear gash running down his face although it's not there in the next scene.

Every single person that has any meaningful interaction, including the super powered ones, are universally terrified of him. I don't think having powers makes him any less terrifying when he's got his eyes on you.

Yah, the only person that was NOT absolutely loving terrified of him was Stormfront, because she was in love with him. Edit: missed a bit 'not' there.

The only person not terrified of him was Butcher. Edit: Point is even super heroes are afraid of him, so powers or not that could have been an actual reaction from Vic. Solice Kirsk fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Nov 11, 2020 |

Compound V seems to have some level of regeneration in the superpower package; Hughie gets a giant metal spike through his leg while trying to stop Butcher, and in the final comic he's walking just fine. It's only implied in the comics, but in the show it's very clear that Homelander has an enormous amount of respect for people who aren't scared of him, which is why Stan can get away with saying "you're not our main product" to him. Also why he felt like revealing to Butcher that his wife is still alive. Also why Stillwell dies the moment he realizes she's scared of him.

I think its a little misguided to be like 'who could win homelander, who has the most power level!!' there's no putting him, or indeed the capes at large back in the bottle. They're man made. Butcher's whole character is using peoples rightful distaste for the corrupted institution of heros writ large to help him with his personal vendetta against homelander specifically so hes not actually misguided, but is deliberately misguiding everyone around him because, if homelander wasn't around. it would be, not necessary, but he would be invented... or replaced, in the event of his death. There's no good way around homelander. The only solutions involve controlling the very human core of the man himself. Thus in this video essay I will show how it was in fact doppleganger and mesmer who had the best chance of defeating homelander and thats why they had to be written out of the story, remember to like and subscr-

Recall also that the exact-genetic-duplicate-but-better version of Homelander had a perfectly soft brain that a normal-tier supe was able to scoop up a handful of just fine.

My guess, Cindy comes back and crushes homelander into a little ball. It's very amusing and he eventually gets so upset about everyone laughing at him that he kills himself.

Butcher also instructs the military to aim for eyes, mouths, and open wounds. The show continues this with how they kill Translucent. Invulnerable superheroes seem to all have an invulnerable shell but soft innards.

Stormfront seemed pretty resilient if not invulnerable but got stabbed thru the eye just fine by a regular human.

As Nero Danced posted:Does Love Sausage use... well... ? In the comic he does have an enormous dick but it isn't anywhere near as long nor it is prehensile and isn't used as a weapon like in the show (he actually has to stop a chase through a strip club because it slows him down).

The consistent thing in the show and comics is that power levels don't really work like they do in most comics where everything is a drawn out pro wrestling fight with a back and forth. It's more like one good/lucky shot may or may not obliterate its target. In general the point is that most of the time superpowers aren't actually that useful. Most of their powers are just fancy weapons of war turned lose in a city.

Homelander was super thirsty after giving that speech, I still say his weakness is dehydration. I would simply fire an antimateriel rifle with a desiccant-based projectile at his mouth.

They know hes a bad guy but its the authoritarian thing where bad guys are actually cool which you have to believe on some level to support trump. Only libs care about casting themselves as the rebel alliance or Gryffendor or similar.

If you were a New Zealand resident who took at least a junior high drama class anytime from 1988 to 2008 you had some lines in Xena/Hercules, a Tolkien movie, or both.

Antony Starr is in Aunty Donna's Big ole House of Fun on Netflix. They're basically an Australian flight of the concords but much more absurd and their show has some pretty surprisingly notable people in it. I believe it's episode two with Starr. His skit is excellent and a lovely contrast to Homelander.
