I think the bit that sells me on Homelander is the weird facial things the actor is doing, it really brings home the idea that hes a total psycho.

He did that all the way through Banshee, he was my draft pick for Frank Castle for years.

I'm not sure they were "updated" at all: The show would've worked fine anywhere in post 9/11 'Murika. The only thing MAGA allows is for Homelander's cartoonish evilness to get some extra suspension of disbelief.

Vought is just Fox News, some defense contractors, way too many people with MBAs, and the NFL all rolled into a general evil entity. The poo poo the megachurch is up to is literally the poo poo real life megachurches in America have been up to since the 1980s.

add in Johnson & Johnson somewhere and you hit the nail square on the head.

If she was cheating, regardless of how guilty she felt, she would’ve taken the time to straighten herself out before she stepped into a public space. Becca running out like that means the only thing on her mind was getting out of there as fast as possible without raising any alarm.

Karl Urban accent is so bad I was convinced he was just using his natural kiwi one.

Show is much improved from the comics, they kept what was interesting and remade it into something really new. Frenchie and Kimiko are great,the casting is great, accents aside.

There are a LOT of similarities with a cockney accent and the Australian/ Kiwi accent, it wouldn't be hard to slip.

Why the gently caress does it always have to be "THIS IS BETTER THAN THIS" over this poo poo. It's okay to enjoy the MCU and the Boys.

It's been a while since I read it but I think her power was just light projection, no force-blast component and nothing about converting electricity to power it, though she could also fly.

I also liked that the very first thing we saw Homelander do was a classic Superman-esque melt-the-gun trick, establishing the precision and control over his heat vision that he then proceeds to virtually never exercise again for the rest of the season. Because he's the loving Homelander and he can do whatever the gently caress he wants, especially when the cameras aren't rolling.

that special forces guys face after he merks that dude running away is awesome.

I really think Ennis is like D&D or prog rock. It's ok to have that phase, and you're probably a better person for it. But grow up and move the gently caress on.

All British, aussie and new Zealander accents are literally the same. You just replace all vowel sounds with "oy" and also use oy as a word at least once per sentence. Plus call everyone mate, and oval office

Anyone claiming differences between the three (or extra lol, claiming that there are MULTIPLE British accents) is a dork that reviews swords on YouTube


(Irish, or "Scottish" as it is often known, is 99% the same but has a little more whimsy)

If you threw Yorkshire, west country, Scouse, Lancashire, cockney, Irish, Scottish and Welsh in a blender for 150 years, add BBC TV and 40 degree weather and stir, you get Australian

Casting news! Goran Visnjic and Claudia Doumit, stars of Eric Kripke’s last show Timeless, are set to recur in Season 2.


Visnjic appears to be playing a new character, while Doumit is running another genderbent take on one of Ennis’ original cast members—but of course, if that finale demonstrated anything, it’s that all bets are off as far as what that means.

The beefcake guy who plays Joint Boy on Letterkenny is playing Gunpowder too
