Yeah. From what little we have seen of him, it would suggest he has plans far beyond the seven and probably is manipulating events.
Someone else suggested one of the Boys probably gets hold of Compound V and takes it. Seems a likely scenario to me.
Homelander seems to have some sort of deal where he won't harm Butcher. It clearly doesn't extend to the others, but at the same time I don't think he cares all that much about them regardless.

I was also going ot ask. Homelander seems, well fairly invincible, so how will The Boys ever compete? He killed his own "weakness" it seemed. And I just can't see Butcher willingly taking Compound V, considering his utter disdain for Supes in the show. Unless it was promised it'd give him enough power to kill Homelander, maybe then.
well yeah it's daredevil's powers but with a pluck young Robin-like attitude. Both of which would die instantaneously if they actually tried to fight crime. I mean, how does Robin or Daredevil not get killed immediately. Just shoot them.
Having not read the comics I assume only someone like his son could actually kill him since they're on the same power level.
I really liked that aspect of Season 1, them figuring out Translucent's weakness and was interested to see more of that.
What exactly is Black Noir's power set? Originally I thought he was Batman, but no. He clearly at least has super strength and regeneration.
I'm pretty sure part of the deal that
Becca Butcher mentions to the Doctor is that Homie can't kill Butcher
Weekly drip keeps it in the conversation longer than acouple hot weeks.
Agreed. I thought the show was going to focus more on that aspect. Thankfully, it's still a great show, but I hope they do more of that later.
Yeah. I thought I wrote "harm," but it auto-corrected to "have." Homelander won't harm Butcher due to some deal with Becca.
Well it was only 8 before so they seem to prefer that number, and being weekly isn't so bad for a show like this.
it's not 22-24 episodes with a bunch of breaks in between. It will be done the first full week of October.
Plus, like the first season, episodes appear to be running close to a full hour each, so at least they pack in quite a bit with that eight count.
Well if it follows the comics...
Black Noir would have the same powerset as Homelander. But it seems to be deviating from the comics, so looks like he definitely has super strength and a really high regeneration considering the explosion he survived.

No one needs that spoiler in this thread in any capacity, and it's 100% not what that person was asking for
Based on what we've seen so far the same power set as Kimiko.

What's your TV setup? I'm using a B9 OLED set, with the internal application. It auto selects the highest resolution, and I haven't had any issues with HDR playback in general...
Yeah it seems they updated the app.
I used to manually select the version of Expanse with HDR, not there's no option
I have a TCL, but I'd always activates HDR on its own with a Netflix and games. Not sure why the Prime app is having trouble

Antony Starr is so good. He continuously surprises me with how terrifying he makes this character. He makes the best renditions of Joker in print or film look amateur in comparison to what a truly unhinged, yet oddly collected, villain can look like.
Not sure what the spoiler rules are so I'll just tag this.
Does this series follow the source material closely?
I was not expecting Stormfront to be a Homelander level piece of shit. I thought she was gonna be a decent person.

As OP I'll leave spoiler rules up to the mods, but I figure etiquette is to spoiler everything until the final episode airs. If you guys feel differently whatever, all good.
"Are you eyes always so blue?" should have been a clue and her name
Also no it took a lot of liberties first season alot of liberties now it straight up its own story
We've seen Kimikobro exhibit precise telekinetic control as well as immense power. He had no problem whipping human bodies several stories into the air through concrete with a gesture, uplifting a sea vessel and crashing it to shore, downing a helicopter from considerable distance, and bringing down enough debris to momentarily halt the strongest supe we've seen in Homelander.
So why the fuck would Kimikobro physically tackle Stormfront? Why would he not flick her off the roof? Why not crash her through the floor, as he did that vehicle? Why did he never attempt to defend himself? Every instance she used her power he had time and ability to use his. That entire scene, while dazzling for its special effects, was logically inconsistent with what the show had just displayed of his powerset.
Heroes went from brilliance to trash overnight because the writing become awful. It's a testament to how much better The Boys is that even with my issues in ep 3 I thought it was great. I hope we don't see more plot induced nerfs as blatant as this, though.

I see there was discussion on The Deep here, I'm kind of in the middle. I'm not 100% loving his stuff, but I do genuinely hope that his arc has a satisfying ending and he doesn't just relapse into being a total piece of shit. I'm hoping he helps Starlight in some way.
Alright, thanks.
I legit didn't even notice those details to her design, lmao.
There's still people who are big fans of her, in this thread even.
Yeah imagine being fans of a white nationalist. even a fictional one. insane.
TV shows are fair game as soon as they've aired. Putting everything under spoilers hampers discussion, and it gets dangerous when people are dropping comic book spoilers.
Oh i didn't the rest
Shit lol it was in our face the whole time
To be fair it was 3 episodes dropped at once. Maybe it'd be best to drop the tags moving forward with Episode 4?

Ok, I'll try to get a mod to change the title to spoilers are cool for current episodes then, thanks
That raspberry Homelander blew when he .... threw Ryan off the roof and he went ker-splat. I lost it. xD

OP
OK mods are probably enjoying the lovely sleep of a holiday weekend so in the meantime I put up a spoiler warning in the top line of the OP.
I'm still a bit confused over Homelander's son and the true nature of Compound-V. The audience knows about it going into S2 because of S1, and Homelander knows about it(?) because he's involved in smuggling it out to create supervillains, so how does his kid supposedly have his powers? Does the show want us to think they're ALSO inheritable? Is this supposed to be a second layer on top of the initial reveal?
Maybe the fourth episode will reel it all back in but as of right now the writing around this plot point is sloppy.
