He could've literally thrown a rock or pipe or something at her. He's been shown to be able to be pretty accurate with his power. He could've just as easily grabbed StormFront with it and let Kimiko go crazy.

I see where you're coming from, but I feel you're being slightly pedantic. Little details like that would only bother me if the story being told made no sense. They were fighting a member of the seven, we've seen and been told time and time again how scary they are and impossible to fight and we've seen in the first 5 minutes that these "super-villains" are no real threat to the seven. The point of that scene was to show that Stormfront is a racist sadist, have the brother be killed by Stormfront (which she was going to do either way) which would give Kimiko motivation to wanna hunt the seven. I mean, would a lead pipe really stop that?

I understood the scene just fine. And of course a lead pipe wouldn't stop it, that's not the point. I just found it odd that he didn't use his powers the one time in the sequence it would've been advantageous. Especially after attempting it multiple times and failing.

I can't wait for her to say something vaguely racist to A Train and he's the only one to find it weird

Homelander in Stormfront shoes wouldn't go out of his way to attack the family they're not a threat and they haven't done to him and yeah all his maga speech i don't think he really cares about race gender or whatever won't be surprised if he's not woke in another but he only likes America because they give him fans and money all he really cares

I like the reveal that Stormfront is a huge racist after she kills Kimiko's brother. Pretty sure her collateral damage in the fight with him where she tears up the apartment block is mostly so she can kill black folks. Further proof that everyone in The 7 is a shithole

I did worry that Stormfront is named after a particularly famous online nazi website, but perhaps destroying their SEO with a racist woman superhero is an acceptable outcome...?

I'm guessing in universe Stormfront website doesn't exist or if it does she will claim ignorance and say it's a reference to her powers and the sjws get offended at everything

oh yea, I guess we haven't really seen this two in a scene yet...

What I find interesting about her is how they juxtaposition her feminism with her racism. since a lot of people believe feminist cannot display racism.

Well
1) I'm sure you have noticed Homelander really doesnt care about the Boys anymore he just wants them out there to be villains for the medias while he occasionally take them down.
Here he wanted to kill Kenji to be the hero. So he got really mad at Stormfront.
And yes his ego is far more important to him than to hunt Kimiko.

2) Stormfront's lightning was faster than Kenji's telekinesis and a lot more painful than just punches.
His powers were already very specific in terms of how he can use them as we saw with the frenchie/ can scene.

3) The show definitely wants you to notice he managed to get rid of Homelander and not Stormfront. That's an upcoming plot point.

Click to shrink...
Considering where the show might go, I actually agree with you on all points. I might have been overestimating how powerful telekinesis is in this show (Maybe it was just Sylar in Heroes who was overpowered :P) but I've noticed that powers are a bit loose in the show so they can run with it in cases like this.

Yeah I hate it too but at least the discussions about the show are better since people have to speculate.
Though I wish it was two episodes per week going forward. End it in a month.

What is there to speculate in this thread when there are people posting here dropping info from the comics? I really hope we can have separation between the two.

Enjoyed the 3 episodes so far. Nitpicky but it always annoys me when telekinetics can't fucking lift themselves up to "fly". You can lift a boat weighing a few tons but not yourself and another person to get away? Ok lol

Homelander for sure would not have killed those people or caused that much collateral damage. In fact, I'd say he would have even gone out of his way to protect--or at least not hurt--them. It's not that he cares about them, but he has an image to uphold, and he is basically a whole different person in public because of that.

Yes, he let that plane crash last season, but he tried to save it first and then decided to cut his losses after failing that, since he probably figured that everyone would die, so no one would be around to tarnish his reputation.

Meanwhile, Stormfront actually goes out of her way to hit that first guy, since Kimiko and Kenji were already down, and she also kills that guy in the stairs just for being there. The explosion also happens while her supposed quarry were already on the roof, so it's not hard to imagine that she blew things up just because that building was occupied by black people.

stormfront with that good old white feminism. was wondering when the shoe was going to drop.

I can't tell if Homelander is legitimately a nationalist or he acts like it because it sells or maybe both
Click to expand...

i think it's a little bit of both. probably grew up with american propaganda that set in that he doesn't even notice it like when he said that a non-english speaker (i'm being a lot kinder than what he actually said) would recognize him and say his name in 'perfect american'. but his priority will always 100% be for himself and his ego

edit: actually on second thought, he's pretty low key racist too and definitely misogynistic

I hope the rest of the series has less of The Deep in it. Those bits really sucked here. Everything else was great though.

The Boys is pretty good but so is The Boys. You can't go wrong.

(did you mean to post this in the Raised by Wolves thread? If so I'd say The Boys had a more natural end point with the first three episodes. I liked Raised by Wolves but it definitely seems more like a binge type show)

The Deep stuff was fairly unfunny but definitely felt like classic Kripke humor. I felt super bad though when Homie said to cover up the gill.

I hate stormfront with a passion, she reminds me too much of my friends ex wife.... A person I have so much disdain for, a person who would have no problem belittling me in front of others, And I wouldn't retaliate in front of my friend... Thank god she's gone now(my friends ex wife).

I'm one of the few outliers, and am genuinely invested in seeing where The Deep's story arc goes.

Also, I just re-watched that pants-down verbal spanking Mr. Edgar gave Homelander. Knew it wouldn't take long for Giancarlo Esposito to full-on slip into the confident. authoritative role we knew he would end up being.

Same here. I want to see if he actually succeeds in his redemption, as well as what he actually feels that success should be.

I'm curious why Mr. Edgar would even choose Stormfront to begin with.

Given the fact the first time we really see the social media of this world is with Stormfront's introduction she's probably in to appeal to a younger crowd since someone like Homelander likely appeals to an older demographic (Considering the whole home spun American hero aspect of his fake backstory). He would know she's a racist but she's smart enough to hide it.

Pretty weird for Stormfront to work for someone who she see's as beneath her. Even weirder for the CEO of Vaught to have Stormfront even in the first place know or not knowing she's a racist?

"Haaaaans......... Zimmer!"

Also, in EP3, Mallory mentions......

The supe Liberty. Anyone think she has ties to Stormfront somehow? Or maybe even that she is Stormfront?

I think we need more scenes of Homelander drinking milk for the remaining episodes.
Hell, I think milk is probably his weakness. Just give him a bottle and watch him lick his lips and jizz his pants haha

Also, Vaught and Compound-V has its basis in Nazi experiments in WWII. Maybe they're continuing that, and Stormfront is their subversive way of bringing that about.

thats also what i'm wondering. If she goes full nazi mode, I wonder how this would look on Edgar since he chose her. It would be weird if he lost control over his company because of stormfront.

Deep is so damn boring. I don't care about him at all.

Other than it has been enjoyable so far. Wish I could binge it all.

Considering that speech about the nazi human experiments that founded the company, I doubt he cares very much about any of that.
