Frenchie and Kimiko had the "one more job until retirement" speech so I hope they both live though probably not. I don't want to see any of the boys die at this point but if i had to pick it would be MM. He's the glue that holds the team together so his death would be a point of no return. Additionally he's a safeguard Butcher put on the team in case he pushed too hard so this would be an example of Butcher managing to even burn that down and demonstrate that he can't even keep the team safe from himself let alone Homelander. Still, I would prefer none of them at this point.

Frankly I'd be totally okay with Frenchie dying because his side stories are usually kind of boring and I hate the romantic angle they added between him and Kimiko. 99% of the changes from the comic have been objective improvements but I really did prefer the father/daughter dynamic between them a lot more.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I've a feeling Hughie's about to become a world-class insufferable prick for a few episodes, so maybe hold that thought. Nah, Hughie's loving up big time but I understand why he's made the choices he's made and tbh I don't think he really ever fully processed the trauma of watching his girlfriend get run over by an A-Train and not having the power to do anything to stop it or hold him accountable. That boy needs therapy.

Personally I like Hughie. He is just a man who is dating out of his league the most in human history, and I think he's doing a fine job under the circumstances.

Yeah, the thing with Hughie is that the normal Insecure Boyfriend trope hinges on a boyfriend who lacks perceived emotional or financial stability, whereas Hughie is literally not physically secure in his person, since he's constantly surrounded by people who could turn him into a homogeneous red slurry at a moment's notice. He is barely clinging to stage 1 of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It's a much more sympathetic situation.

Yeah I don't hate Hughie the same way a lot of people itt do. He's relatable and realistically flawed. When he (stupidly) lies to Annie he does it because he's trying to protect her or someone else I'm not going to defend any of his stupidest mistakes but I don't understand why so many people are saying he's just as much of a piece of poo poo as Homelander and Butcher

I think what he's going through is different than the situation Annie described on their bowling date that she had with her first boyfriend, but it's going to read to her as the same thing that she said she was afraid of.

Yeah, I think between Hughie breaking down in the car about all of it and Homelander's very graphic threat and demonstration I have to think she will see this differently than just insecurity that he's weaker than a girl. Especially because that's never really been an issue between them before.babypolis posted:forcing that poor girl to kill herself stills seems worse to me The flight is probably the worst thing he's done in absolute terms but it's interesting how everyone has a different opinion about what they feel is that worst thing. Like for me, the Timothy scene is right at the top because it's a deliberate pre-meditated decision coupled with what forcing someone to eat a being he can hear begging for its life and praying christmas boots fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Jun 13, 2022 |

So if frenchie or mother’s milk got powers i suppose frenchie would make sense getting teleportation (A-train and hughie are constantly running away from their problems) or maybe mind reading if you look at him and kimiko. Mothers milk has a lot of anger so i guess eye lasers make sense but there’s also the OCD and his family so maybe like a protective bubble thing?

I think the stupidest Hughie moment is actually breaking his arm as an excuse. Just slap a cast on it. I seriously doubt he had time that episode to both go to a doctor and go on a mission in a single day

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:Soldier boy killed MM’s family Interesting. In the season 3 preview there was a brief shot of SB attacking A-Train's brother at what looked like a community meeting and being confronted by A-Train. It would be boring and predictable if there were another supe introduced whose dark secret is being a racist. nm: I just watched it again and it's Blue Hawk Chemtrailologist fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Jun 13, 2022 |

In MM’s closet full of old newspaper clippings it was implied that supes back in the day were “cleaning up the streets”* no doubt because of mallory flooding the poor areas with drugs So it seems MM’s family were caught in the crossfire. *of black people

christmas boots posted:Frenchie and Kimiko had the "one more job until retirement" speech so I hope they both live though probably not. My guess is that both MM and Frenchie bite it this season. Frenchie for the aforementioned reasons, and because it would be crass to kill off Kimiko. MM has been the heart of the team and the check on Butcher, but increasingly less capable of doing either thing effectively for reasons beyond his control. Soldier Boy showing up is going to push him even more off the edge, and he has basically said goodbye to his family already. All too likely that he wants to eliminate Soldier Boy and either botches it or comes into conflict with Butcher (who will want to make sure Soldier Boy nullifies Homelander first) who will have fewer compunctions about killing one of his own team. Which then sets up the S5 conflict, if they're going in the same direction as the comics. Chemtrailologist posted:Have we gotten any backstory or hints on what the deal is between MM and Soldier Boy? In S2 there was some mention of some sort of legal conflict between MM's dad and Vought, which then led to his father getting killed by a supe. It isn't super clear exactly how things went down, but whatever it was involved Soldier Boy and obviously traumatized the hell out of MM.

It isn't super clear exactly how things went down, but whatever it was involved Soldier Boy and obviously traumatized the hell out of MM. He said that he used to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of his dad typing on a typewriter (working on the wrongful death suit of "something between my family and Vought that I'd rather not talk about but it was bad"), then one morning he didn't hear it, and his dad was slumped over on his desk. It was vaguely worded enough that he might have been killed or just worked himself to death. I always interpreted the latter but honestly the former wouldn't be surprising (and cheaper for Vought in the long run). As Nero Danced fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Jun 13, 2022 |

Ryan also said something to Butcher about his blood smelling wrong. Hughie probably thinks Neumann shares this ability because she saw through his herpes bluff and ate his bagel.
