re: The Boys Season 2 (Spoilers) Episode 8 “What I Know”

Black Noir reports directly to Edgar because




Never mind. Not doing it.

Always new and creative ways of killing guys when Kimiko is involved.

That part and the "that's Terror's frickpig" made me crack up.

And I was kinda annoyed with them looking like they were throwing in Terror as a random cameo, but actually having Butcher say "Terror, frick it" at the end of the episode made it worthwhile.

She sort of tossed Homelander around after not being hurt by his laser eyes.

Stormfront is such a great character. She’s fricking all over the place (literally) and I’m here for it.

Frenchie needs to leave Lucy Lui alone and wife up Cherie.

MM is the lowkey MVP of The Boys. He reminds me of Dustin from Stranger Things. He’s the moral center/compass. Butcher is Mike, Hughie is Will, and Frenchie is Lucas.

They're being "handled" by Ashley. BN, on the other hand, is being directly monitored by Edgar, and is in direct communication with him IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS FIGHT. This is clearly outside of Homelander's knowledge.

I originally thought Edgar might be an undercover supe in his own right to play it so cool with Homelander.

But if Black Noir is (or one of his) “killswitch” then that makes a lot of sense too.

Also, the actor who plays BN is a great physical actor. He really does well expressing that silent emotion/reaction as he reacted when Butcher told him about rapey Homelander and the kid.

Also interesting to see bigger revelations of the supes powers as we progress.

Also, Sage Grove is almost certainly going to be some medical place that they’re making more supes or doing some kind of Nazi-esque experimentation. The guy she talked to on the phone has been in some stuff I’ve seen before.

Yep

MM is one of the best characters for me.

MM, Homelander, Black Noir.

A-Train is feeling the rejection of being kicked out, and thus kinda falls in line with The Deep's goals. He might be a candidate for the crazy cult, too.

Yeah, I think that may be the direction they're heading. But what we're seeing is a coup against Homelander, and Stormfront pulling all the strings. She's going to use Maeve, Starlight, ATrain, and her laserproof tits to break Homelander. I think we'll see she's been working alongside Edgar all along to achieve a shared goal. No way he lets her make that anti-Vaught speech without him knowing ahead of time.

The leadership at Vaught has a Homelander problem, and they'll give him as much rope as he needs. Meanwhile, with the help of Stormfront (and maybe BN), everyone else is unwilling pawns in taking him down. Now that Elizabeth Shue is gone, there's nobody to control him, he has to go. They're playing the long game.

Makes you wonder what the connection is between that church and Vought

Nazis

Dr Vaught was a Nazi scientist prewar. Whatever this Scientology church is now, I think we'll find out it was all part of the same Nazi program. Plus, the way Stormfront talks about it, seems the most likely. Atrain thinks she means she was in the church before, as in just a few years ago. We all know however, she means more like 70 years ago.



.....and the aunt telling the teeter-totter story was fricking hilarious
