I think she was faking that. Nothing about her up to this point has shown she has any worries. It's all manipulation by her

Probably a misdirection.

I took it as faking. She seams to have more powers than she lets on.

Being extremely pro American is pretty common among Neo-Nazis. They hide their hatred and bullshite behind a wall of ultra nationalism

I get all that and I understand the character is based on the comics but it would be more relevant to today’s world if Stormfront was on the left end of the political spectrum. The comic writers went back to the Nazi/alt right well which seems overdone and almost lazy at this point. Great character though.

I don't think Butcher and Noir get into a fight; Noir always kills his target.

I think Noir digs into why Butcher is climbing that fence, and brings some of Homelander's dirty laundry to light.

I watched the interview show (it's an option to watch after seeing the episodes), and the people making this are pretty hard Left in real life. Like, when asked about Homelander, they didn't just mention Trump as inspiration, they were all laughing about it because it's so "obvious".

We're not going to see any anti-Left themes in this.

Yeah uh huh. They changed the gender and back story, so they aren't following exactly. Don't try to demonize American image. 100% a political move.

Nice. Honestly, is it really that bad to the supes though? Homelander has a kid, not really that huge to somebody like noir.

It could be bad if Noir figures out Homelander killed whatshername last season. And from Butcher—or tracking Butcher—Noir could learn of Huey and Starlight and figure it was them who released the Compound V story.

I’ve been trying to figure out what I know Carol from, she’s that lady from that awesome scene in Breaking Bad:

So, we've seen at times Noir express emotion (even if physically, kudos to that actor by the way for doing that) and even some humanity.

Homelander's all about his image to even the other supes at times. Or at least guarding his true motivation. I think that reveals leads to a domino of revealing other unfavorable things about Homelander to the rest of the supes.

Homelander killed civilians in front of Maeve
He threatened starlight
Deep knows he's bad
Noir really hasn't shown an interest other than being on the team
Storm front is already evil
A train is stuck in black mail and already have killed innocents and covered up.

Seems like the people who would be against those types of actions are already doing it (starlight)

Who cares who released the compound v to noir? Butcher et AL are already on the sevens shitlist.

Wasn't Noir at the 7 meeting when Homelander confronted Starlight?

If so, he already knows Butcher and company killed Translucent.

None of the 7 know that Homelander killed Stillwell.

Admittedly I don’t know if any of them would care.

So after seeing a preview for the show during the saints game I'll starting to think they just might actually use Noir to his comic book potential... and I will leave it at that

He knows Butcher killed Translucent, but he doesn't know why.

Noir's a bit of a wildcard in this.
Homelander, season 1: "Alright people, you're getting sloppy. Gotta step up your game. Except you, of course, Black Noir. You've been great- as always", or something like that.
Homelander rides everyone, and threatens most... but doesn't push Noir for some reason. He's kinda on his best behavior dealing with him. I don't know if he KNOWS something, or is just wary of him; but he doesn't frick with Noir.

If Noir digs into this, he figures out Butcher's beef with the Seven is actually with Homelander, and it's a legitimate grievance. We don't know what type of psycho justice code is in his head...
