re: The Boys Season 3 Spoilers

The mental gymnastics they went through to downplay the A-Train stuff and LGBT shite at the theme park was hysterical

Also conservatives are too dumb to realize that Homelander has been modeled after Trump

Finally got to watch. Awesome show. Just keeps getting better.

A Train is the all time worst. No doubt. And he advertises for menthols and payday loan places. Awful.

Miss Noir.

When is Eleven going to come back? I still think we see Stormfront again.

I knew at the first of the season Butcher had created a monster.

And finally, I knew, I just knew Huey would wearing a Rush shirt at some point.

Ryan turned on his caregiver way too quick with zero reason to that was shown.

That was Butcher fault. Lets see, his Mum warn him away from his dad sure but his mother is dead now. He try to see Butcher as a father figure and was until Butcher pretty much said point blank .

"Hey, why would i care for some kid that kill my wife?"

So to him, he had no one left. IN come homelander again who not only was soft spoken but looks to genuinely care about him when no one else does. Not only that he assure him that his power going out of control is something that happen and is part of the learning curve.


So him growing attach to Homelander after being rejected by Butcher is a very good reason.


His inherit evil white nature at the end however was a wash.

Well I’m sorry then, arse

Carry on

I think the show is pretty even handed on criticizing everyone.

I’m still open to that, but suspicious as far as a discussion topic and minor annoyance. Not a show stopper IOW.

Now Maeve is equally as strong or HL just decides to go easy on her when he ripped out his “best and most loyal friend” guts out?

I took it to mean she was strong enough to hurt him, and that HL was demonstrating the fact that he's so powerful that he's never bothered to train - unlike Maeve, who spends fricktons of time training. She knows how to fight; he doesn't.

It's like taking a guy who's stronger vs a still strong woman who's also a trained MMA fighter. Can the stronger guy win? Absolutely. Could the MMA fighter still frick up his day? Also absolutely.

It's not like he can just use his weight; they're both strong enough that the actual physical mass of either is completely irrelevant. She didn't need to be stronger, but rather strong enough to actually hurt him.


Definitely agree that Noir was a dropped ball for the ending. After the guy blew up Noir at point blank and Noir just stood there, I got the impression that he was tough enough to give HL at least pause. Instead - nope.

SB started off interesting, but I agree... was just 1 dimensional at the end.

I still don’t know what to make of the Maeve HL battle. Surely her fear of him was from so many battles together. Or maybe it was largely just massacring weak non-supes? It just seems odd that it can go from HL can easily kill me to a very close fight, with some NIF given to maybe HL not really trying to kill her, which is negated by the fact that he was going to harvest her eggs and presumably kill her. It just went from 0% chance to at least 50% chance in that battle and that alone is big.

She might have underestimated herself. She might have overestimated him. She might have also not realized how bad he was at actually fighting due to the fact that he just blasted everyone with his laser vision (or punched through them). He probably could have done the same to Maeve if she stood still.

I'm probably taking a favorable read from it, but I mostly just saw it like that - she was powerful enough that her training gave her a shot. If he had applied himself even a tiny bit (training wise), he probably kills her without too much effort.

While not quite the same, Huey amping up Starlight enough to where she could knock Soldier Boy on his arse is kind of on the same concept. They're not stronger, but given certain advantages or situational changes they might be able to seriously hurt the stronger supes.

Sort of the same reason I think Butcher did so well when fighting HL. He probably was around Maeve's power level, but Butcher knows how to fricking fight while HL has no idea how to really fight someone.

Not this noir but apparently in comics he’s stronger than HL (I accidentally stumbled upon that story line but never read the comics)

I like that interpretation. So many variables here.
