It's well known enough that it's the top result when you Google the term "Stormfront".


Again, y'all have no idea how to argue this. You had to know that it was racist and had to look it up.

y'all really are taking this to the extreme. All I wanted was for the readers in the group to be careful about framing a character that first-time viewers may not have come up with. Athos mentioned they gender-swapped the character and in the same sentence said the character was a psycopathic racist. That is confirming that the character is racist. If somebody would have just said "I think this character is racist and this is why" then by all means lets open discussion.

And man... if people were worried about Stormfronts change of gender, they shouldn’t worry anymore. She’s still clearly a raging psychopathic racist that appears to get turned on by murder.

I haven't read the comics.

You're assuming that people, who are familiar with the popularity of the white supremacist group, couldn't put two and two together after she started throwing around racial slurs and killing minorities without impunity in her wake on top of it.

You need to get off your own shite that people couldn't figure that out because you couldn't.

Tired of derailing this thread that really went too far.


Loved the first 3 episodes. Thought stormfront was just going to be a side character and Homeland was going to destroy her phone and tell her "who's who."

Guy who plays Homeland is such a great actor and plays the part well. I for sure thought that kid was dead.

I would not be surprised if they end up teaming up against the other supes at some point. He hates her now but they may end up needing each other when it’s all said and done.

I know 2 spoilers (1 big, 1 minor) from friends that read. The amount of people in here masquerading as non-readers and dropping plot details as “speculation” is embarrassing

Get a life, you jabronis

I don't think he "needs" anyone, except to give him the female attention he craves. I think she probably needs his backing, and might serve as his cheerleader later on when shite goes down.

Haven't read it, only a couple articles from awhile back.

I think Starlight takes Stormfront down. as I said before. If for no other reason, a chick-fight and it gives the effects crew a chance to go wild with the purple lightning and starbursts.

I just kind of get the feeling that they (Vaught and the Seven) are moving towards a breaking point. And that people will end up having to take sides. I wonder if its a bit of a red herring to assume they'll end up facing off. I can see them being absolute assholes together against the others.

Maybe so. Even though, I admittedly like the theory someone posted awhile back that it could be Deep that does it.

Man, there are some real dumbfricks around that believe everything is racist. How is being called one color less or more racist than being called another color? That is asinine. My point is that naming different races by color was not racist. It was a system created to identify different groups from different continents. I suggest you read about the Gottingen School of History.

Way off topic but following this statement, anyone else remember those cheap imitation videotapes Walmart used to sell for a buck or two back in the 90's? Cinderella, but not the Disney one, etc? When my kid was little, I grabbed a few of those, maybe $10 worth. Bargain baby entertainment, so I thought...

One of them was about Colors. I threw that on and thought it would be educational and maybe about art. They started talking about the Yellow Man, the Red Man, etc... I kinda wish I would have kept it just for laughs. Instead, I pitched the whole bunch.

Luckily the show runners have followed the spirit of the comics and some of the plot while at the same time making a good bit of changes to keep things interesting. So there is good chance with Butcher's wife being alive in the show that knowing what happened in the comics will mean nothing long term.

And most importantly, the changes they've made have worked pretty well so far, unlike say Altered Carbon.

Season 2 is the tits. My favorite scenes are whenever Homelander goes off on someone like in the blind guy scene. Laughed my arse off.

What exactly are Queen Maves powers?
