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

Interesting that whoever blew up heads went after Shockwave. Makes me think that they might be involved with the Church of the Collective to get
A-Train back in the 7.

What if it turns out Edgar is part of the church? He got the meeting with him really quick, and I’m sure Edgar has some motive of his own. I’m just spitballing here.

My assumption is that unless it’s 100% spelled out that the character is dead it’s best to assume they are still alive.

Agreed. The last time we see him he's inching toward the EpiPen Maeve had kicked out of his reach. It's definitely not outside the realm of possibility that he was able to reach it before dying.

Right now though he's kind of a Schrodinger's Hero

Seems out of character for a terminator level villain to go out via nut allergy, but then again would be slightly hilarious in a “Boys” kind of way.

Yep.

I have to say, I kinda liked it. Black Noir is on that level of being almost non-human. Having something so simple as a nut allergy humanizes him a bit.

Butcher: Congress? Please. What a bunch of corrupt fricking c.u.n.t.s they are.

I like it. As others have said, it’s a reminder that they were still just humans injected with V. So it reasons they’d still have human vulnerabilities.

I don’t think he’s dead though. I do find it hilarious he can be neutralized they way though.

I thought they would show us his face. From what we can see he looks quite disfigured so that would explain the constant masking.

I hope when they kill Stormfront they make it hurt..I swear this character irks me so much

Of course the writers couldn’t resist connecting pewdiepie to white supremacy.

Great episode.
Lots of shite going on..

Touching on some other talking points:

After the Butcher and his dad talk... I think Black Black is his brother... he's supposedly dead.. but butcher was stronger in his grasp on reality.
Just a hunch.

Also, I got a Jonathan Kent vibe from butcher's wife. Wearing plaid, keeping the kids powers a secret.. keeping him from the world.. it may just be a slight nod.

There was an interesting call back with the almond joy from starlight and hughie conversation. Did Maeve grab it out of her pocket?

I dont think crusher chick is responsible for the exploding heads.. but she will be blamed.

I think stormfront will definitely use the super-kid against homelander. He's the first natural born super. He's more valuable than anything from the lab.

A-train isn't an idiot.. He's on to the churches shite.

Mauve has her own plans... and she's careful not to intertwine them with the deep and starlight or the boys...

Also, the entire homelander and stormfront public speech was very ...
Umm.. direct in its satire.
