Have Butcher et. al gotten the memo on Soldier Boy's desupe beam or are they just hoping big beam go boom?

They figured it when Kimiko didn't stand right up afterwards, plus it really is a big beam. If one doesn't work then hopefully the other will.

Still no real idea what the GBwhatever Red weapon that took out Soldier Boy was to begin with. Although I'm back to thinking it might have been Crimson Countess herself and there's gonna be a twist at the end of this season that Soldier Boy isn't strong enough to do it and Butcher let Soldier Boy kill the only person who could have. I was kinda down on this theory because Crimson Countess vanished from the show for several episodes, but now hey maybe

"Looks like Kermit the Frog had a right wank in your mouth."

Holy gently caress all those changes at Vought. Stan Edgar was wrong. Homelander is gonna run that poo poo into the ground way sooner than anyone could have predicted.

I wonder if A-Train told Homelander :v:

I think everyone here greatly underestimated how durable Soldier Boy is. And how strong he is now :ohdear:
And it seems like he did always have his chest blast power. At least he seemed to use it once without tearing a hole in his suit.

Maybe this was the first time I noticed it happening but in the boardroom scene with Homelander and Maeve, the lighting on Homelander was extremely ominous. I wonder why he even bothered to kidnap her instead of just killing her on the spot.
e: Next week is Herogasm isn't it? Oh no. Oh noooo.

I liked the nice parallels in this episode: Homelander and Soldier Boy both professing that they loved women who absolutely hated them.
And then the scene of all the Soldier Boy, Butcher and Hughie going off to be assholes while the only good people, MM and Starlight, don't go with them.

Maybe they just drugged him? He's hella strong but clearly not invincible as the Russians could still stop him in the lab.

The simplest explanation is that they just used the same gas they were using in the torture vids to knock him out.

Hughie's constant 'wahh lemme save you' is pathetic and probably only there to make him seem wrong

but starlight and mm have zero ideas on how to handle homelander, so i'm not with them. homelander's an extinction threat. you have a shot to eliminate him, take it. and last episode starlight seemed on board with this and now she suddenly isn't.

soldier boy can at least definitely be contained, since he just was for decades. plus he seems to move only at normal human speed so people would at least have time to react, where homelander could just snap at any moment and wipe a city out before anybody knew what was happening. and then every city!

Seth Rogan was in S1 as himself, he directed Black Noir's movie. so SirCumsALot779 was actual, in universe Seth Rogan. probably how he could afford the $19.50 a minute private room

it seems like he has human metabolism for that knockout gas, he can't fly or use super speed (he just walked or took a car to CC's house and they waited patiently). His hair can be cut by something, since he got a haircut or did it himself.
Obviously his beam de-powered Kimiko, and it obliterated CC as well as a building. So a hit would do something to Homelander. I'm most curious as to how Butcher plans to politic his way into getting Soldier Boy to hate Homelander. Make him a "Never Trump" Republican kind of thing? Does he want fame again? Does he want to go right after Edgar? He probably doesn't like Black Noir, Edgar, or Mallory, and they're still hanging around somewhere...


One thing I suspected with Black Noir's face being all messed up is that he has super fast healing abilities, but not "superhuman" healing abilities. So if an explosion would leave a normal human covered in burns and scar tissue it would do the same to him but faster, which is why he has the suit to act as some protection. But once in a while maybe a Vought doctor has to cut out accumulated scar tissue if it's blocking his eyes or other functioning or something.

That seems like how Stormfront works, so maybe yeah. Heal anything a person could recover from way faster, but can't grow back eyes or limbs.

what exactly are the scheduling conflicts going on with maeve's actress? i just googled it and nothing is coming up. will she be barely in it again now that she's been captured? back for s4 or what's the deal?

she's one of the better characters on the show so it's been a shame.

She's from Ireland which has some covid protocol problems that make filming more difficult.
