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

I’m kind of interested in how Homelander could laser Stormfront’s tits for 10 straight seconds without bothering her but Ryan turned her into a zombie

Homelander was doing it in a controlled way wanting to not hurt her. Ryan was completely uncontrolled and hit her with the rage of 1000 suns. My question wasn’t how he burned Stormfront, but how Butcher and Rebecca didn’t get some level of collateral burning being that close to such an intense energy blast.

What a fricking season finale!!!

Stormfront's arse getting kicked was so damned satisfying.

Homelander is losing his shite. I thought the wanking scene was a bit out of character though. I would have liked to see him doing some other fricked-up shite to compensate, like laser-beaming elephants in half or some shite.

Neuman being the head-popper... did not see that coming. She's playing some game of her own. I think she's working to take down Vought and any other supers-involved group so she can set herself up as their leader.

Also keep in mind her body was pretty badly hurt from Maeve, Starlight and The Asian monkey stomping her for a good while. Just like a boxer having gone 12 rounds, her body wasn't up for taking nearly as much punishment as if she hadn't been beaten to a pulp.

Great season!



Maeve can't fly, can she? How does she keep just showing up places?

In the comics, they don't specify, but if you even start to look your age while on Compound V, you're pretty on up there.

On a side note, one thing I love is how much it stays with the tone of the comic but is so divergent all the same. Asking a person who's read the comic "What's going to happen next?" is going to illicit a very loud, "No fricking idea, mate."

Maybe she has an invisible jet like WW?

Honestly I’m curious too. Also how does know exactly where they are in both situations? Homelander has super human hearing. Stormfront can fly and can get an aerial view? But she managed to figure out exactly Butcher and the kid where in the woods probably seconds before Homelander would’ve fried him.

I really don’t have any complaints about it, I enjoyed it, but I kinda wish there was more of a build up for whatever takes place next season. The main lead up was that Neuman was the head popping chick and that Homelander has officially gone off the deep end. Yawn. What really is there to look forward to?

For Homelander to so easily just laser anyone he despises in half he sure the hell likes to keep Butcher around. Killing Butcher and the Boys would end all of his problems, right?

Also this show hates Black Noire for whatever reason. Was hoping to see more of him on the season finale but nope.

Part of me was also hoping Butcher would’ve killed that kid after Becca had died. It looked like he was going to with his facial reactions before Homelander showed up. I also think the kid is a bad child actor

Poor Deep can’t catch a break lol

Let's not forget that Cindy is still out there too.

Headpopper sister?

biggest disappointment with Starlight is that she didn't absorb the energy from Stormfront and send back a powerful blast.

They'd been building that up. Season 1 I never knew she needed outside power; this season it's a teaser when she dims the lights, and comes into play both with cauterizing Huey and escaping her cell. Was sure that was leading to her using Stormfront's blasts against her, or maybe dampening her.

If Neuman works for Vaught like some of us assume, the happy ending doesn't last long.
They want the kid back, she's getting intel from the CIA including where he is. And Huey is going to work for her, and trust her with whatever he knows. That all leads to some serious grief for The Boys.

As for the Supes, there's drama everywhere now that the team's back together. Homelander wants to kill The Boys, Starlight and now Maeve, but can't with Maeve's video. He wants the kid back too, separate from Vaught. He might look into the head popping, he's already figured out it was Edgar's doing.
Maeve has Homelander to worry about, as well as Black Noir if/when he wakes up. New alliance with Starlight. She reached out to The Deep, that's set in motion at least.
A-Train is on Homelander's "iffy" list, on whether he can still cut it. He's definitely in a weird situation with Starlight. Deep is pissed off at him. Edgar might want to clean up that Stormfront info drop, too.
Starlight can't trust any of them except Maeve, and Maeve doesn't want that. She's in mutual blackmail with A-Train with shite, both working against the company.
Black Noir... who knows how he's going to react when he wakes up and sees Starlight and Maeve?
The Deep is still whining on the periphery, we laugh at him but I wonder what sort of mayhem he can bring... I think he's going to take someone out just to earn respect. I THOUGHT he manipulated the water at the water park, if so he is more dangerous than we give him credit for. Otherwise, maybe a goofy fish assault on someone.

Kimiko seems like she can't die. She's been legit killed twice now, and pops up in a couple minutes. That's going to come into play at some point, I think... someone is going to off her and turn their back on her, and she gets them.
