So Homelander is the only one that "is Superman", but all of them would absolutely wreak havoc in the real world. You'd probably need a nuke to stop any of them.
In the comics, high explosives work on most supers and DU rounds can wreck their shite. Air-to-air missiles fired from jets manage to kill a lot of them.

That is a top notch post, well done. I don’t think A-Train makes it through this season but I don’t know anything about the comics. I don’t see his story going much further.
A-Train, aside from being the catalyst for Hughie in both the books and the series (in both he kills his girlfriend by accident at superspeed), isn't really that big of a deal. He's mostly there to remind people that superheroes are garbage. There's no heart issues, no extra juicing, no race to prove he's the fastest. The show is so far from the comic that there's probably only one or two potentially big reveals that would be spoiled by the books.

Yeah. There's a scene where she runs up to the gate of the compound and hops on the phone where she wants to talk to the Vought folks about being relocated to get away from Homelander. That's why Homelander threatens her with telling their kid the "truth" about them living in on a compound and not living a normal life.
So they essentially set up a fake community? The piano lessons (I think it was piano lessons) lady was just playing along?

Probably a Vought employee.

Don’t care for that buzz on the right side of her head, but cut a slit in the caboose of that get up and I’d smash the hatred outta her arse.

But when people talk about superheroes, speed is severely underrated. I don't care how big or powerful you are, speed will more than level the field. People need to understand- to the speedster, everything else is slowing down (the Quicksilver scene in DOFP illustrates that). It doesn't matter if you're going against the Hulk, he's just a statue.
Yes speed powers seem almost TOO powerful by how they are usually displayed. I wish they can take a different take sometimes, kinda like they do in Dragonball Z sometimes.
Have somebody like Flash or Atrain move at superspeed to get where they are going but slow down to almost normal to fight.
Otherwise no one could even remotely fight them. Most underrated power

Guess I got something to watch after the game tonight

This chick is fricking 38. Maeve is 34 and looks 15 years older than her. That is hard for me to believe.

Eh, she’s fair skinned so at the very least she’s probably taken care of her skin. That tends to net far less wrinkles. She’s a little bit thicker then when I saw her in Fosse/Verdon but she carries it well.

The problem is with speed powers, there needs to be some limits. They should only be able to run super fast for short periods only. i remember in the first season A-train was working out and having to drink 3000. calories an hour. If somewhat grounded in reality, a speedster would look like ghandi after running for extended periods of time. I know, it’s a tv show..

I may never drink milk again after this show.

I agree there has to be a limit on the speed power otherwise the character is too overpowered. Limiting the speed to short bursts and/or requiring ridiculous caloric intake is an obvious way to do it. Or give the character heart disease.

So, episode 4 stuff (for those who want to keep scrolling):
- So it sounds like Stormfront is the old supe Liberty. Which is interesting as she obviously has a long-time relationship with Vought if so.
- Watching Homelander lose his shite is so, so entertaining.
-I feel for Butcher but he had to know she wasn’t leaving the kid behind. Should be fun to see him and Noir go at it when he catches up to him.

Are you in Europe or something? New episodes drop Fridays.
It's getting reviewbombed by people really pissed off at the staggered episode format. Seriously, it's at 2.5 stars, and reading the 1 star reviews are all about the same thing - whining about the staggered release.

Interesting - it didn't list it for me, but when I hit play for the series it started up episode 4
Posted on 9/10/20 at 10:10 pm to skrayper
When we got on the app on the TV, it showed the last episode as Episode 3. But when you click on the episodes to list them, it showed up there.
