Just wondering when Homelander is going to try to murder Stormfront at this point. Just now realizing her name may be symbolic of a certain online group. It's kinda funny seeing a psychopath trying to bond with his son.

The Deep is now my fave, it's weird but he is traumatised and he is kind of a stand in with a hero with disability.It strange to see him being totally redeemed like not fully but I just feel sad for him. A train talks big game but as per episode 3 he needs medical help at some point and I think he probably grew up with nothing and is over compensating.I feel bad he killed his gf, but it was a mercy killing ,after what Maeve narrated of Homelander decapitating a fan who got to close to her.Though A train should have just hidden her somewhere but hey that's how the show decided to write him
Don't the boys have "powers" in the comic? I'm wondering if they will power them up in the show...that makes a standoff between butcher and Homelander an actual fight.
Minor Comics' Spoilers -
spoilers:end of spoilers
In the comics, every member of The Boys(except Hughie) has taken Compound V(which gives all Supes their powers...) before the first issue takes place. Besides Hughie, they all start the series with powers. Except for The Female, it's all pretty basic "Super Strength"/"Super Durability" sort of stuff.
As for the show, it would follow the Supernatural pattern(Sam) to have at least some of the group wind up with powers.
I've been enjoying season 2 so far, but has anyone else been having problems with the subtitles? When Kimiko and her brother would be talking to one another, all I'd see is a dark bar where the subtitles are supposed to be.....I'm stuck here wondering if it's just me, since no one else has complained about it.
Yeah, if you don't know the comic's version's history, you can easily be fooled into thinking she's a good-guy until that final scene. It's only then that she gets exposed as someone who is even more evil than Homelander, and better at hiding it. Homelander's mask slips a lot. He can barely contain that he's a monster. Stormfront is completely invisible until she's in complete control, and then she's a horror.
I didn't have any subtitles at all so I had to turn on the closed captioning which was a bit annoying since I had to leave it on the whole time, but it was better than missing out on their dialogue.
I appreciate that they're presenting a more hidden form of racism that relates to what we encounter in daily life.
