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

Let me tell you guys about The Church of the Collective

Hey frick Fresca

Because they haven't waged a full-scale war against non-Communist regimes... yet. Thus far we've had Cold and Soft wars but never the aggression and scale we saw from Germany and Japan.

Hmm. Communism is much more insidious than Nazism. There have been numerous wars involving dozens of counties that were essentially communist vs. non-communist in nature, however because of the nature of communist spread they are often referred to as conflicts or civil wars. The Vietnam and Korean wars were certainly wars over communism and of pretty significant scale.

I think the main reason that communists are ignored as villain archetype is, as you and others reference, that communism is still a present and ever-growing power globally and even domestically.

Yes, some of it is just the classic superhero/superpower problem, (if Superman can beat everyone then why would anyone even try?) and the vague limitations of being super strong or tough.

Relatedly, there's an explanation for why Superman can fly. There's on explanation for Homelander except for Compound V, which doesn't make any sense.

Storm front was kind of hot .


Does black noir have powers ?
Homeland ER must have some weakness. Is he an alien

So I’ve known about this show for a while. But we’ve finally binged it the last couple of weeks.

It is a good show. As people have already stated, there’s a lot of suspension of disbelief involved.

I like that they clearly have a season plan and stick with it. I don’t remember any filler or red herrings being thrown in just to make 8 episodes.

The team is phenomenal. I loved this show.

Just finished the season. Holy cow.

1. One of the things I love the most about this show is that they make fun of everything and everyone in really smart and insidious ways. (For all the butthurt maga folks did you not notice that neuman was ultimately behind everything?)

2. Stormfront is super hot and I have a weird thing for her now.

3. Speaking of which, 34 pages and not one mention of gecko wearing an eye patch when he gives starlight the V and then stormfront getting knifed in the eye? Yeah, she's healing in that secure facility. With that fancy new cream they've been testing on poor gecko.

4. Homelander. Geez. I LOVE his character. Mostly because I relate to the issues a shite childhood leave behind.

5. Lots of great lines mentioned, my fave? When talking about black noir's injury, and saying he might have brain damage homelander saying, "great, so about the same" with such disdain and acceptance. Like, yeah my buddy is probably fricked up but will I even notice? Just add it to the fricking list I guess.

6. 'tit homelanders face plant from the roof. Deepest belly laugh. If you have children (multiple) you get this.

7. The theory of maeve being around during the early days? I MUST HAVE IT. she was tired but then hears about a Nazi? Goes straight Woltz International on stormfront!

8. Don't be a count.

Amazing!

This bump has me pumped for season 3, thanks

It looks like Storefront "is still alive and horribly mutilated" there will be a "herogasm" scene. Super pumped
