Why did they never explain how Haley Joel Osment (the guy who voices Sora in Kingdom Hearts) 's daughter didn't know who he was? Isn't he like famous in this universe?? The whole plotline with his character is very confusing and doesn't really make any sense.

Homelander 100% deafens the blind guy not out of jealousy or fear that he'll take his shine away while on the Seven but because he's disabled. Echoing what I said in a previous post but Stan Edgar said it himself: Homelander sees the seven as a pantheon of gods with him on top. In his eyes how can you have a disabled person in the Seven? Homelander takes one glance at him and sees weakness. A blind guy who relies on his ears? Whose powers consist of him being able to do flips and throw knifes accurately? Well ok he says, what if I do this? And deafens him and shows the guy was never Seven material. He does this with everyone, he's constantly looking for weaknesses, either ones he can exploit and take advantage of or ones that will reflect poorly on him. Most of the time it's verbal, digs at peoples ethnicity to piss them off, mentioning The Deep's abuse of Starlight constantly, commenting how sickened his is by A-Train's weight gain/ lack of powers, all of his actions are to remind every he is the guy, he is untouchable, he can say and do what he likes so they remember he's the top god.

He's the Superman equivalent. So basically if say this was DC and Ashley introduced Homelander to Green Arrow and said he was auditioning for The Seven/ Justice League, Homelander would take one look at him, break his hands and say "OK, now what?". Imagine Batman trying to get into The Seven? Homelander would probably punch him through a building out of disgust.

Now if for some reason he'd let the blind guy into the Seven, purely for PR reasons, because that's the only way a disabled person is getting in, and that guy had started to poll better than Homelander, you know Homelander would have deafened the guy and rendered him useless asap.

Exactly, any weakness is to be exploited, and any trait he doesn't have is treated as a weakness as well. Everything's fair game so long as it reminds people who's number one.

Homelander treats everyone like he's a clique-y middle school girl, and honestly that's more horrifying than anything else I've seen him compared to.

I thought he defeaned the guy cus he didn't get to pick him. He was whining to Ashley about them bringing a candidate to the Seven and not running it by him or getting his approval in the same scene.

Few questions seeing as this seems to be now the ask questions you're not sure about thread:

1) What's with Soldier Boy's big red beam and why does a laser that can blow up a building make it the "ultimate weapon"??

2) They went to Russia and killed some mafia dude for no reason? Bit weird of the show to have basically a filler scene in there. Was cool though.

3) Why dont they just show the tape of Homelander letting those people on the plane die? Seems like an easy way to discredit him and have people realise what a monster he is.

4) Starlight suddenly goes from hating to dating Homelander (Is this a power he has?) then thinks she can still Hughie to not take the green power drug? (Sorry forgot the name).

the thing is, the boys isn't even particularly good social commentary. 'oh these people we amp up are bad, right wing america the worst thing ever. don't cross too many lines though, could end up being morally wrong if you think about it, which we do cos we're the good ones'. that's all the show really has to say.

like yeah we all know this. it's US democrat crap. good as a basis for a laugh here and there, but it's not cutting that deep at all.

Counterpoint, conservatives on the Boys subreddit have been losing their minds this season so

1. Presumably, getting hit by the beam negates your powers if it just doesn't kill you outright. Whether the effect is temporary or permanent remains to be seen.
2. They went to Russia because they thought the Russians had some kind of super-killing weapon that *wasn't* going to be Soldier Boy in a tube. They thought it'd be a gun of some kind. Little Nina had contacts to tell them where it was, so they did her a favor.
3. I suggest you watch the episodes a little more closely. Homelander dared Starlight to release the tape, saying that if he can't be loved he'll accept fear, and releasing the tape will result in millions of deaths and Homelander taking over the world in ~fire and blood~.
4. It's a fake relationship for the cameras. Homelander's popularity is at its peak when he's linked with Starlight, so he's coercing Starlight into going along with it in public and on the show for good publicity and also because it torments the gently caress out of her.

Also, what gets termed as human echolocation is so insanely rudimentary in comparison to what animals like bats and dolphins do.

And what gets termed as human running is poo poo compared to what an animal like a cheetah does or swimming compared to other mammals like dolphins or whales. Not to mention how crap our “vision” is compared to a falcon. Why humans are basically deaf, blind and immobile.

I suppose you’re right tho, blind folks riding bikes using their ears to navigate 🙄 echo location my rear end lmao
