Honestly, the opening was grosser than the rest of the episode.

Still a awesome episode, it just did not live up to the Herogasm hype for me at least

Maybe they hyped up the Herogasm sequence to hide the fact that the rest of the episode owns

We still have not found a machine that can measure the intensity of love. We would all buy it.
That might be the best episode of the series to-date. And not because of Herogasm.

I honestly don't think you can make a true Herogasm episode without filming actual porn and just putting the episode on Pornhub instead.

I guess the big cumshot and the tentacle penis were pretty gnarly, but the vast majority was weirdly tamer than the first episode scene with the dude crawling inside a penis.

lots of fantastic payoffs in this episode, from Homelander having his "god bleeds" moment to A-Train apologizing finally and giving Blue Hawk the Kabal fatality

Christ, that fight was a loving cocktease - a literal appetizer for the main course. Soldier Boy should've been ~chargin' his laz0r~ well in advance.

Who knows. Maybe Vought's been lying to him about his heart problems and a good run was all he needed to get his system re-primed.

Ashley dropping some loving truth bombs. I guess A-Train still had one last run left in him. Goddamn that was appropriately brutal.

This Nina plotline still sucks.

Holy poo poo MM :dong: Herogasm was perfect.

Well, Homelander is gonna be hella unhinged now that someone actually hurt him and put some fear into him.

It bugs me that Starlight still had her earrings in after Hughie teleported them. I guess it only leaves behind clothes! Come to think of it I hope he didn't have any fillings or anything either.

With any luck, it got rid of her tracking chip, so Hughie might've done her a HUGE solid there.

I can buy the distinction that you teleport with anything that's in/through you, but not things that are ON you. Terminator time travel rules.

I'd also just believe Hughie is such an unbelievable doofus that he could totally teleport his clothes too, he just constantly forgets to.

Finally got the payoff to my complaint of ep 1 help me!

A-train had a pretty good conclusion there, though I personally suspect someone is going to come across him and save him yet again.

last note, Holy poo poo that fight.

e: Anthony Starr said in a preseason interview that eps 6-8 were his favorites and one of the reasons was that the balance of power was shifting. I can totally see what he means I can't wait for next week.

It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so low-stakes compared to the main plot and also so separated from it.

Question about Soldier Boy and the fight, kinda meaningless but anyways I wonder if the death beam has a refractory period, and also he couldn't manage twice at an orgy. I do wonder how hard Homelander was going- he's never had to try before, this was a new experience for him in a lot of ways.

I still think the herogasm aspect was a bit overhyped, it felt like a somewhat extended clip of that one supe hangout from season 1 to me. But then again a whole hour of cg porn wouldn't have worked, and for the tone and tension at this point of the show it's better that it's a bunch of loser supes loving than ALL of them. At least MM got to experience some fun bodily fluids

I did notice that Homelander had the biggest/meanest killstare for Hughie. I mean, Butcher and Soldier Boy got it as well, but Homelander REALLY wanted to kill Hughie.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

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

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

We also learned that Homelander DOES have another personality, so that's a throw-back to the comics, even if it was just Noir's gaslighting there. He turned into 'pure' Homelander whenever they put him in the 'bad room.'

I thought that was a great way to tackle that, really sells the unhinged aspect better than the comic version (I always thought that was a bit of a letdown storywise).

Or like controlling lazer eye intensity, he COULD figure out how to hone that with more practice, but just doesn't.

I think Homelander was going pretty hard, if not all out. There was certainly no reason for him to hold back trying to kill Butcher with his eyes lasers, which is why I found it a little disappointing that even temp V Butcher could match him for a while. He certainly held his own way better than I thought he would against Soldier Boy and Butcher, both of which would presumably have way more experience in martial arts.

Speaking of orgy, I did like the reveal that Soldier Boy started it. Dude is just hedonistic and wants to gently caress, get high and gives 0 shits about collateral damage.

When punches started being thrown and it almost immediately cut to MM and Starlight I was immediately reminded of mohinder_holds_door.gif (does anyone have that floating around, by the way?) but thankfully they didn't cheap out that hard. Good episode for being more payoff than setup.

It's exactly like the Hughie Starlight stuff where it's time to end the romantic plot tumors. I don't care about Hughie's minor sexism (there is a geninue LITERAL power imbalance in their relationship! Don't care!) Frenchie being a Simp or the Kimiko stuff. They're all dating and in love, you can end it there unless you actually put Hughie/Butcher together because they are the only ones with any sexual chemistry

I would be very okay if Butcher and Hughie got back to the hideout and there is a note saying "Sorry guys, Kimiko and I are going on the run. Also Cherie. Bye" and then they are never seen again.

I was hopeful when the scene started that they would show how brutal Nina was and why she should be feared. But instead they got out of that situation pretty easily and Nina just ran off like a Saturday morning cartoon villain.
