Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

He speaks disparagingly of everyone. I mean that he doesn't actively hate any race more than any other, he just truly doesn't care about anyone. I'm not disputing that he's some nice guy since he is a psycho murderer that only cares about fame and money.

When Stormfront was talking about white genocide the look on his face was like "what the... this is quaint, I guess." He's beyond racism, he just hates every single person on the planet.

I saw the Maria Menounos scene as more of a joke about the Oscars from the writer rather than any real viewpoint from Homelander

Homelander despises weakness, and this here is correct in so far as that Homelander views everyone as weaker than him. But in a twisted way he thinks of victims of racism as even weaker, probably because he can't understand how they can't just become strong and fight back.

Homelander cares about himself, and his kid. The only reason he cares about his kid is cause it's his kid. He doesn't give a flying gently caress about anyone unless they can either improve his image or hurt his image, or they trip his mommy fetish/he wants to gently caress em.

Dude is a stone cold narcissistic sociopath. The only thing he cares about is being loved or adored by the public, which is at odds to his overall lack of giving a poo poo about anything or anyone. I don't think he's racist so much as he actively hates literally everyone. Even other supes are only barely tolerated by him, and then only show up on his radar if they can actually help his image. There's literally no one else on the planet that's on his level for him to worry about.

I'm honestly wondering when he's gonna snap cause when he does, holy gently caress is it gonna be amazingly ugly. Death toll in the potential millions level of ugly. He's already threatened to kill everyone when he thought he'd lose the adoration of the public.

Yeah this is 100% my read. Homelander just hates anyone who isn’t perfect, like he is. What is perfection? Well that’s kind of subjective, but he knows it when he sees it.

Look we know she hates minorities, takes causal delight from being cruel to them. We know that she's originally from Nazi Germany, married a high ranking Nazi official and was in their super pilot program. All I'm saying is that it hasn't been established that she specifically was a card-carrying member of the German Nazi party. I am prepared to defend this asinine point for at least 20 pages.

When did he say "mud people"? I remember all the other racist poo poo, but one of the touches I thought was neat was the out and out Nazi poo poo left him kinda befuddled (although obv by no means a dealbreaker for him)

From the last page but I just binged the series over the weekend, it was back in season 1, when he was confronting Starlight about dating Hughie. This was after the christian camp thing and Mesmer.

Also that nazi apologist was loving ridiculous. Before they started that whole tangent they said they had read the comic or at least the spoilers, so there's no loving way they didn't know what Stormfront was about.

Yes, first 3 episodes came out at once and then once per week. Which is also what they did for Wheel of Time, and probably all of their other shows?

I only caught this thread at the very tail end of Season 2 and it was fun watching it "live" with everyone. As someone who doesn't watch a lot of shows, this is definitely my Most Anticipated of the year :toot:

In the 80s that’s just the supe being really fuckin’ weird and no one asks questions because he might throw the cup through your brainpan as an answer.

just get the intern to put some ice cubes from craft services in the cup so we can get out of here and I stop fearing for my life Jesus Christ he’s drinking again.Okay take 57 from the top!

The basic iced coffee is going to go back hundreds of years yeah, it's simpler to prepare and more refreshing than a hot coffee. Maybe there's some Starbucks style that they didn't have the machines for or whatever but the concept of coffee syrup mixed with cold water or milk wasn't beyond people in the 80s.

You can make the syrup yourself with a spoon and a mug (or a strain if it's ground coffee) and then it'll perfectly mix into cold liquid.
