I binged the whole thing overnight and I loved quite a lot of it, I wasn't a massive fan of the book either so I don't care much about accuracy there

Am I just a pervert or were they really hinting that Elizabeth Shues character was Homelanders mother? I don't remember if that was in the book, but given his fixation on her lactating, and jealousy of the other baby, they definitely had a mom-son dynamic right?

Does it ever say where Butcher and the team get all the money/supplies they need? Early on Butcher mentions getting funding from the FBI if he got proof, but they never seemed to struggle in that regard

The Tick (Amazon) is great and everyone should watch both seasons, it actually has more drama than you'd think, and they were building into a big reveal about Tick's nature/origin that we sadly never got. But it's just a neat show.

If you liked The Boys then really, watch The Tick. Many similar beats.

E - that show also has a really cool take on Superman, if you like Homelander

I can't tell what's in Black Noir's visor reflection, but he's doing great! [is it the kid from the first trailer?]



That's definitely Billy, an earlier preview showed him and Noir facing off at one point

Actually you can see it for about 3 frames at around 1:14 --

I'd try to OD him on that serum, maybe in a gas form. But there's a fair chance that makes him way stronger. But if it's a hail mary or nothing, gently caress it.

I still like that one of the times Shazam k.o. supes in one punch was because
1) Shazam is almost as strong
2) superman is vulnerable to magic
3) Shazam just sucker-punched him

And he feels really bad about it!


*adjusting spectacles* If you mean the Morrison JLA run, that was two punches.. the first one kind of stunned him (...billy?) the second one clobbered him. Thor > Superman

Now, I'm wondering if Starlight tells Hughie that Deep basically raped her, and if that makes Hughie want some special revenge

Not that that scene would have anything specifically to do with it, just seeing them all together

I would be on board with TV Black Noir being like Comic The Deep (basically a black guy in a dumb diving helmet getup) who takes one look at the carnage The Boys v The 7 is causing and goes "gently caress this I'm out"

Based on season 1 and the previews for S2, Black Noir seems to have no issues with carnage

Watched em loved em, they did give a lot away in advance, I need to avoid trailers and stuff in future


Hughie seemed too emo but he seems to be snapping out of it by ep 3

Stormfront is vile but funny, Homelander is funny but vile, it's a subtle difference

They teased the 'fly' which I know they said was an accident in the 1st season but they may be rolling with it to be something more

Wolverine or a strong imitation was apparently a founding member of the Seven, in that movie pitch of their origin

Kimiko's gonna split Stormfronts wig

What? When was that, I think I missed it.

Also Patton Oswalt's character was a surprise

It was a scene where there was a close-up of a light bulb, the camera centers on it and a prominent fly buzzes around and lands on it, then they zoom in on the scene-- I have to re-watch to get the episode and time frame

Honestly, this is pretty ground floor for the kinds of requests sex workers get. Hell, an earlier scene in the season had someone getting paid to let a guy chop his arm off with a machete.

I also didn't get any vibe that Doppelganger was kidnapped/threatened into doing it. Based on his 5 minutes of collective screentime, it seemed like he just was really into pleasing people and being whatever they wanted (for money, probably).

Anytime Homelander 'asks' someone to do something the threat is implicit -- other supes know this better than most -- doppleganger couldn't refuse his request regardless if he wanted to or not

Rewatching the latest episode, I'm finding that I'm not a big fan of Maeve. I'm not sure if it's the the writing or the actress but she just seems to take up space in the scenes she's in. An exception being the plane scene from last season. I guess her having to share scenes with Antony Starr isn't helping any.

Reminds me a lot of Rashida Jones and her time on The Office.

I'll tell you, I don't mind Maeve although she does seem to be over-whelmed in some scenes but I can't tell if it's acting issues or just how someone would be in her situation

The actors I think are weakest of the cast so far (its a very young show at this point)

- A Train
- Starlight

They both seem to over-act a lot and the scenes with the two of them aren't the best

My theory on Black Noir is he's looking for Butcher to either ask for help or offer help, maybe with taking down Vaught or back-tracking his own past -- not sure how that would even work, but I don't think it's a straightforward assassination situations

Why was Kimiko so happy to see Starlight? Did she remember her as the one who saved them at end of Season 1, or did they have another interaction I'm forgetting
