I mean Soldier Boy was famous in the late 70s. He's seen some poo poo.

Mameluke posted:Soldier Boy won't do poo poo to Homelander because he seems mainly interested in panicking about gay people and doing violence against women Isn't it implied at some point that Soldier Boy was loving around with his sidekick? In addition to being a coked up celebrity who lived through the 60s, 70s, and 80s and everything that might've gone along with it - the stuff with Reiner certainly made it sound like they were all very much into drugs and "free love". SB's reaction on the street seemed more like "huh, would you look at that" in the sense of being mildly surprised that homosexuality was so publicly visible and accepted than being offended or intolerant. Not to say he isn't a bigoted rear end in a top hat in some way shape or form but it's definitely low on his list of things to worry about. The guy reacts more strongly to an ad for the Dawn of the Seven movie on the side of a bus than basically anything else. https://youtu.be/27DKvR8CZs0 Mat Cauthon fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Jun 18, 2022 |

SB also trusted his all-leather military uniform to a male publicist who boasts to strangers about loving Marlon Brando.

Mark my words SBs gonna do some hosed up poo poo and this'll be the next storm front isn't a Nazi moment. Dude lasered his ex girlfriend to death who was literally chained up after she told him her actual opinion of him. Sounds like a real catch even if he is bi (which I will admit would be better than yet another hetero

Behold the look of gay panic I guess. He could still turn out to be a homophobic rear end in a top hat, but this is hardly the reaction you seemed to be talking about. e: and what the hell, while I still have the program open, anyone want a gif from any of the episodes?

Ackles' voice for Soldier Boy has deep gravitas to it. His short bit with Crimson Countess almost made me forget he's a huge douche bag. Maybe it's because he was also tortured for decades where Homelander's mirrored speech with Maeve didn't give me the same feeling.

Not hatred but some unfamiliarity that it's just out there in the open instead of behind closed doors like in his day. He was around during Blondie so he's seen some gay.

Sure Deep had some scenes in the Crime Analytics but the first action he took was to fire all the extras. Like, it'll be cheaper than their scenes in the first season? It's pretty silly for, y'know, Amazon to cheap out on that.As Nero Danced posted:Behold the look of gay panic I guess. Idk, yeah? He rolls his eyes, turns all the way away, and mouths something like "yeah right", all of which read as disgust to me. Plus that kind of matches with his attitude in the period videos. I doubt decades of Russian torture made him more empathetic

soldier probably is homophobic, we know he's sexist, unless that changed during the torture. the story is heading in the 'we have become the bad guys' direction for butcher and hughie, and soldier boy needs to be a huge piece of poo poo for them teaming up with him to sell that but that specific moment is all there is of it in this episode, and ackles acting does not read as disgust. that's not a disgust face that's a 'huh, weird. well all right i guess' expression.

I think I missed something, do they explain why Soulja boy and Stormfront don’t age but Maeve and Countess do? I assumed they were frozen Captain America style or something but they bring it up like 3 times and make a point to say SB looked young before the tube. Does Homelander age? Also agree with the others that this was the strongest episode, I think the boys are a lot more interesting than Homelander at this point and it’s no coincidence this ep was boys heavy. I like Anthony Starr but there’s not that much scenery left for him to chew.

Does Homelander age? i figure he has to if they haven't cleared it up by now. i think homelander is potentially supposed to be younger than his anthony starr, or at least we've to ignore that. googling says he was born 'before 1994', but he didn't exist during the previous supe generations. quote:I like Anthony Starr but there’s not that much scenery left for him to chew. good way of putting it

My take on the gay soldiers thing: It was just put in there to reinforce that SB is missing ~30 years of history. He doesn't have a particularly strong reaction, I imagine his cultural opinions aren't going to be a big plot point beyond "wow, times have changed" to avoid retreading the same ground as Stomrfront (and Blue Hawk). I do think his return will play into the angle of Vought as a defense company and the ongoing critique of the military industrial complex though. I'm also happy that they found a compelling conflict for MM because he's a great character and it seemed like they didn't know what to do with him last season.

This is starting to sound a lot like Stormfront is not a Nazi. Didn’t MM explicitly say Soldier Boy harassed a lot of black families back in the day? He is probably more bigoted towards non-supes than anyone we have come across other than Stormfront. I can see Soldier Boy not wanting to fight Homelander, and very much being on his side, but Homelander’s ego won’t allow him to team up with someone that could beat him. If anything, Butcher is going to end up teaming up with Homelander to bring down Soldier Boy, since Homelander still wants to be king of the status quo, whereas Soldier Boy, who missed all the social change that happened during his imprisonment, will be all too eager to burn everything to the ground.

Hugie not understanding that the entire reason Starlight loves him is because he had a purity uncorrupted by those around him, is predictably tragic. I kinda feel it's on her for not expecting him to be affected by... anything that has happened to this point, to be honest.

Given the obviousness with which they signaled SF's racism after a few episodes, I doubt it'll be the only time they do it. The sneering, eyerolling style homophobia is very real and I've seen dudes do that IRL before then turning around and screaming a slur.

I assumed they were frozen Captain America style or something but they bring it up like 3 times and make a point to say SB looked young before the tube. Does Homelander age? There's clearly a range of supe's powers. If we think about it from a writing persepctive, storm front was extremely dedicated to her nazi bullshit, so it would make sense that she doesn't age because she's stuck in the past. If there's some in-universe reason, maybe like in the comics (haven't read but going off of what's been post itt) different types of v give different power levels. so maybe 1940s V is stronger but more deathly than 2020 V or there's some different way of injecting V that makes you more powerful.

alexandriao posted:Hugie not understanding that the entire reason Starlight loves him is because he had a purity uncorrupted by those around him, is predictably tragic. I'm with Hughie on this aspect of things just now, it's the first time I've ever really even had an opinion on his character. Everyone around him basically keeps telling him he's such a pure boy and should behave accordingly, but terrible things keep happening around him and he repeatedly gets used - I don't blame him for saying gently caress it and getting active. He's done his work with the system phase and it turned out to be a hilarious ruse. They have layered in some male inadequacy (must save my gf) and junkie notes (staring out the window high while kimiko is dying) to make it seem like he's wrong to do this, though. I think I'm most curious about where this is all heading - because I suspect it's going to end up with Butcher and Hughie going 'too far' on something, causing some innocent deaths or taking joy in killing someone, whatever, and end up condemning that approach in favour of Starlight and MM who were tut tutting all along. It'll be interesting to see politically where it ends up, is the boys going to say look, no matter how violent and insane the conditions are, the only ethical approach is to play by the rules invented by the people who ignore them, or will it surprise me by not saying that. roomtone fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Jun 18, 2022 |
