This show slams so hard.

One perhaps dumb question: what power does breaking bad gus have over super supes like homelander?  Why doesn't homelander just vaporize him if he gets angry?

I don't understand this either.

He's got the video from the plane crash where Homelander lets them all die and talks shit to the passengers as the plane crashed from the damage he caused while trying to "save" them.

But I think that only emerged recently (end of season 2). Seems like the supes could just take over the company, and should have done so long ago.  Who's to stop them?

They want prestige and love and cash and media opportunities. They need corporate types to facilitate that. 

Homelander is all powerful. But even more than super-strength and laser eyes, his defining trait is insecurity. Dude has bitten the hand that feeds him before, but he knows that an all-out takeover would be against his psychological needs. 

It makes perfect sense when the show is viewed  as a commentary on the moral and mental rot of fame. These larger than life “heroes” that seem invincible are, in reality, plagued with anxiety, fear, and mania.

Nothing is stopping Homelander but his own fucked up psychology.  That's why all the other supes are so terrified of him.

It’s also why the show is so interesting. There’s already a series about an invincible super being doing whatever the fuck he wants at all times. It’s called “The Old Testament” and it’s boring as shit.

It's the stigma of doing Saved by the Bell.

But damn, he was around Tiffani Amber Thiessen in her early years drool.gif

Dumb question amnesty: when HL said “look at you 80 over 60” to Edgar, he meant …? Proof of whiskey at his elder age? I’ve never heard it put like that (but it has been a long ass week so maybe I’m just slow).

Sounds like someone saying blood pressure - which is to say he's looking like he has very low blood pressure and is relaxed, I think? Idk, it's what I'm going with lol

I gotta say I hate the Hughie character and have since E1. A weenie. I hope He gets his head blowed up.

Homelander will laser Hughie’s dick off right as Butcher fires the ultimate weapon. Starlight’s top will disintegrate. Win win win.

I read a wiki on Edgar the other day hoping to illuminate why Homelander fears him.  Didn't find an answer, but the wiki mentioned that Edgar is just about the only person in the world that doesn't fear Homelander and Homelander knows it because he can hear heartbeats and such.  Edgar is a stone cold calculator.

He has the ultimate crazy eyes. He doesn’t have to do or say anything but you know everything can go south in a second.

Homelander can sense his blood pressure.

I still maintain Edgar holds some kind of power that prevents homelander from just vaporizing him. Maybe Edgar himself is a supe.

How could you be him, have access to V, and not use it?

speaking of, how did the head popper get powers?  I need a refresher on supes and Vaught.

I don't know this show - not into sci fi at all. I noticed on twitter though that there's apparently been quite a dust-up over this show among a certain dim segment of the population.

,C zzz do, you up

The "It took them 2.5 seasons to realize that we're satirizing their dumb asses?" comment was spot on. "Storefront" wasn't enough of a tell? This is Don't Look Up all over again.

I'm one episode behind, I think. I just watched through the one where Edgar gets exposed and Butcher's Boys "release" Soldier Boy. Isn't it implied, if not outright known, that Homelander and the Supes know Edgar controls Neuman, the head-popper?

Don't want to spoil anything, but when you get caught up I think you will agree Homelander is not intimidated by Neuman's head popping.

Gotta love an invalid Stormfront giving Homelander a squeezer.
That's my fetish.gif

Left handed as well. Since the right one was gone. Hooked up to machines and tubes. So the handy was great effort

These writers must’ve been trying to one up each other on the depravity this season.

I think you’re right. They must certainly have some awful shit saved up for the season finale that goes beyond the premiere.

That Termite scene crossed the line for a lot of folks. My wife is out, and a number of folks I work with have bailed as well.

I'm an overall fan of the show but the writers appear to be lazy in terms that the shock value is 50% of the show.

the Seth Rogen cameo was hilarious. Hey, I'm paying by the minute, can we move on.

I view that stuff as establishing how debauched the supes (and the society that worships them) are. It’s gross but important, because it actually sinks in when you see it. The massive imbalance between outsize physical power and underdeveloped intellects and consciences results in absurd violence. Innocent people get crushed under the boots of reckless giants who suffer no consequences for (and typical pay no kind to) their atrocities.

But it also serves as gore porn for the peanut gallery, who miss the nuances but watch the show for the shock value.
