The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
Yeah supes in the military was Stillwell's initiative and it died with her. Presumably Edgar knew Temp V was in the pipeline so he didn't particularly care, especially as "reign in Homelander" became job 1.

It makes sense to bring a strong supe in to jerk him off and calm him down. The biggest WTF was thinking that putting an unrepentant Nazi who just lost her sole connection to society in the room with a legitimate Ubermensch would end well.

Do you think this is funny?
Supes in the military was a thing in the beginning of S2, it led to Homelander doing a war crimes on camera and making it all look like poo poo. Then the reality of compound V got leaked and they had to pivot to just rolling with it and hyping up "super terrorists attacking America" as a way to sell V as a means of internal security ("we need more supes"), which is about where Stormfront came in as something other than part of girls getting it done.

This was all kind of abrupt as I recall it, but military superheroes didn't just disappear, it got derailed and then rerouted to anti-terrorism "at home" as a lead up to temp V, probably, but also a "the war comes home" thing.

after this disappointing turn for the season in the last episode (i know i'm in the minority on that), the way they'd get me back for s4 is just

'the boys' text on screen, screams+sirens etc

annie saying on the phone to hughie 'we need to hide. he's gone nuclear'

something about millions dead, homelander is taking a break on the moon, there is no more sheesh should we really be doing all this?

or something to that effect, and then for s4 episode 1 to actually be that, and have all of this awfulness finally come to it's inevitable crescendo

if it's a season of homelander being depowered and humiliated before inevitably getting repowered and THEN doing that finale part, i don't need to see any more. let's not drag this evil superman saga out much more, the seams are getting worn down at this point.

that'd be cool but i don't think it's going to happen. they can play out the cape soap opera for a long time yet and heck, im still finding the individual episodes enjoyable even though the overall storyline is starting to drag a bit.

I am deeply sorry for this derail that resulted in this steaming hot poo poo of a take ending up in this thread.

I'll check out SNW and Below Decks if Disco/Picard haters aren't hating them but I'm not huge on a Family Guy esque take on Star Trek, if I want that I can watch the first half of The Orville's first season.

As for The Boys, I've legit enjoyed this season, there seems to be an abundance of watchers in this thread looking for more than there is though. It's a good schlocky "what if Superheroes were a capitalist product" vehicle for parody allegories on current events with the tongue firmly planted in cheek. I loving love it.

TVIV is a fun place. A personal point of comedy was the Better Call Saul thread where some spoilers dropped, someone said they didn't want spoilers, and then someone else immediately quoted them and started talking about the spoilers.

hey guys you ever notice that stormfront and mindstorm both have the word storm in them? and she used to be called liberty?

I think she wasn't really a racist and she was just a "front" for the real racist, mind "storm", who was secretly controlling her this whole time

they had to fake her death when they broke the psychic link so that he wouldn't know they were on to him

now that soldier boy has killed mindfront she is going to come out of hiding and return as liberty and help take down homelander

I was literally about to make fun of you for asking this and then I remembered that Translucent visibly pees on the bars of his cage in season 1 episode 2 and logically that should mean that his poop would be visible and now I hate myself too and need to go lie down for a while.

Watching the animated Gunpowder getting beaten to a pulp by Soldier Boy kinda makes what Butcher did to him ten times worse.

Imagine having that background and then suddenly the guy who's been stalking you turns out to have Soldier-Boy level superpowers, and proceeds to cave your face in.

Both homelander and gunpowder try and murder Billy Butcher before finding out he has powers. Gunpowder shoots him twice in the chest. Not a lot of sympathy there.
