I still dig it
Even with how heavy handed it is, it’s entertaining AF

I roll my eyes at the bullshite, and blow raspberries for the jokes that fall flat, but I’ll LOL multiple times per episode.

The timing of this episode with Trump thinking he’s Jesus two days ago is straight up nuts

And it irritates me how Hughie is so against Butcher all the time.


It makes sense when you remember that he also wants his girlfriend dead. Also, Butcher went off the plan and killed Neumann last year, who Hughie was actively working with to bring to their side.

The "bad guys" are so much better characters on this show. Love Homelander, Noir, Deep, Soldier Boy all of them. Butcher is fine, but Hughie, Starlight, Frenchie, Kimiko, I've gotten to where I don't like any of them and am cheering for them to lose.

Soldier Boy


I like the actor who plays that part. I've liked him in just about everything. I'm hoping Soldier Boy comes back and actually gets to be the one who kill Homelander.

she says she learned how to talk through TikTok so it makes sense


No it doesn't. If she was an alien who just arrived on earth, maybe. But no, she has decades of watching people communicate to know how people talk.

The tiktok excuse is just hand-wavey bullshite for them to have a female deadpool cringe character

I don’t think they were talking about actual guns Firecracker is the hottest chick in the trailer park.

Soldier Boys one liners have been great.

Also, wtf is with this show pulling the punches lately on characters dying. It’s funny because it’s falling into the marvel/dc category on that front when its foundation is being the exact opposite of those worlds. Would’ve been a lot better episode had Homelander killed Ryan.

Yeah, he wakes up when Butcher touches his face. Go re watch it, he keeps his eyes closed though so can see how you might’ve missed it.

People that want to think about how this relates to current politics are silly. I could care less. This season, just 3 episodes in, has been fricking awesome.

Looking forward to Homelander fricking literally everyone over and emerging victorious at the end of this season. Hes a terrible person and I still want him to win. I hope everyone everyone that tries to stop him dies.
The only exception would be Soldier Boy killing him and taking his place as a terrible person and leader of the world.


I still think the actor playing Homelander should win an award. His presence as a god figure around everyone except Soldier Boy is phenomenal.

Without being able to fly, super speed, laser eyes, hyper hearing, etc like Homelander has, I don’t think Soldier Boy could pull off the world domination thing as well as Homelander. But he’s too tough for Homelander to kill.
