Can't wait for another scene of Homelander straight up lasering a crowd of dozens of innocent people, only this time it won't be a fake out. It will look like one, but then there'll be another swerve and - oops, no - he actually did it this time.

"The Boys Season 3: Hit me baby one more time"

for maximum repulsion.

There's also "The Boys Season 3: A-A-A-CHOOOOOO"

Edit: the obvious choice is of course
"The Boys Season 3: #HOMELIGHT"

I'm guessing the latter, the Boys will use the temp V to save Kimiko, which she'll probably be upset about

Butcher only had three doses, they are all gone.

Back in the hideout, during the aftermath of the dildo assassination I thought "I swear to god if they fridge Kimiko I am going to shake with impotent rage and keep watching this garbage, but I am going to enjoy it less" and then, welp.

Has any other show moved at this breakneck speed?
Also, all those more or less sublte jabs at recent/current events like the Pepsi spot, the mention of a "nothingburger" are :kiss:

Now I'm afraid they'll stretch out the whole Homelander situation, because if he's gone, a lot of the show's appeal is as well?!

Honestly, A-Train is probably around literally to be the token black guy.

I think we will see him go fast one last time in defiance of Homelander or to give Team Butcher an opening for a shot at Homelander and then have his heart pop in a spectacular fashion.

In response, The Boys twitter account posted an image of the various stars holding up four figures to signal the fourth season.

It's notable for a reason.

The way Vicky is holding up her four fingers could also be interpreted as gesturing "Oops" or surprise/shock.

I see absolutely no reason why Homelander would have lied about this. Plus it really fits A-Train's character.

To be supermachiavellian and sow distrust between the ursupers?

To have Starlight blast A-Train through a couple of walls in a fit of rage (showing her clenching her fist behind her back indicates to me she will snap at one point), only to tell her "Haha, A-Train didn't rat you out, I listened in on those suckers and killed your boi Supersonic. Let's see how your favouribility rating is looking now after it becomes public knowledge you killed A-Train, an african-american hero in the Seven. Murderer. You're not better than me."

Robobot posted:

Also I have completely lost all interest in Frenchie's plot this season.

Isn't it pretty obvious that Frenchie getting nabbed by Nina is the catalyst for Kimiko to begrudgingly re-power to save him, most likely by asking Butcher for some Temp V?

Bust Rodd posted:

It was supposedly Jensen Ackles but that seems to have been a case of meta-misdirection, unless we actually get a second “flashback” Herogasm that shows Soldier Boy in 1989 or something like that.

Was that directed at Herogasm in particular?
I can imagine that the script initially asked for a slightly more explicit/homophobic reaction towards the gay couple in the previous episode than smirking and shrugging it off and Ackles was not ok with it.

For a brief moment I expected Soldier Boy to impale Annie with his shield fragment before she could blast him away. The one time she actually goes off and it still would have been futile. Oh wait, she fizzled out a security cam earlier. My bad.

I have one gripe with Marie's powers.

If she flings half a gallon of her blood around (like in that scene where she practices shooting at least 6 targets in the foster home gym), wouldn't she almost pass out or at least be a bit wobbly?

Maybe that will come into play later as her achilles heel, but it feels like super sloppy writing (even for a show with superpowers triggered by a sci-fi serum).

Panfilo posted:

We see with her saving that one lady that she can slurp the blood back up into the original owner. So I assume she can do this herself. They could show it but the scenes where there's blood splatters everywhere has good shock value so they might just not bother to show her recollecting the blood.

That seems ... unsanitary. But hey, superhero show, so whatever.

So, show of hands, who else thought that after Tek Knight circled the rim of the whiskey glass in the Dean's office, picked up the scotch tape during class and took the bitten donut after, that he was going to gently caress that donut?

Was it just not that subtle or am I just used to assuming the worst because it's, well, The motherfucking Boys?

Yeah no, you're on the money.

I'm confused about the end of the episode and the sudden cut mid sentence and fade to black.

Watched the preview by accident and it was addressed in the first 5 seconds of it, so don't worry.

Unrelated, but Rufus' dick looked quite normal, considering he had been hitting himself with a baseball bat for at least 2 days every hour on the hour ("JUMANJI"). I'm really surprised he was into being a sex pest after all that. Ah well, I guess it's taken care of now.

Also just made the connection "Rufus" = "Roofie".

Chances are he could just Omega Beam Neumann's eyes out before she could even do enough just to cause him to sneeze.

Didn't he even say so when he visited her at home and learned about her daughter? Something along the lines of "if I feel as much as a tingle I will take both of you down before you know it?" or am I misremembering things?

He wasn't quite sure if she even could harm him, but he wasn't able to rule it out completely neither.

I started watching Banshee because of Starr (I started it years back before The Boys was a thing and bounced off for some reason early on) and had to chuckle when his character Hood was asked what he was gonna do and he answered "Whatever the gently caress I want".

When he goes "You stay the gently caress back!" I fully expected him to follow with "or I'll laser you all!"

And in the S2 Finale Hood gets the nickname Soldier Boy?
