It’s mostly the beard v stache. The actor who plays him has gone weird baby face / chinless and it doesn’t fit his look. Add the beard back and he’d look like MM again.

Finally caught up with episode 4…

BLOODY HELL.

And yes… Starr is absolutely terrifying as Homelander.

You almost feel bad for him… almost.

I will say Frenchie’s reveal was super fast. Only 4 episodes.

I’d never heard of Starr until this show. Dude is a great actor.

What she did to herself doesn’t make sense to me, but on the show it’s a mixture of the second and third picture. Mother’s Milk looks more different than she does in Season 4.


I had to google the actor for MM to confirm it was still the same guy

I liked episode 4 a lot. Hughie nutted up and got his hands dirty. There's no telling what's really going on physically with Butcher. Homelander is a legitimate psycho. Even Starlight showed some emotion. Tried to anyway, her face is stuck. A-Train and Hairpull might be interesting. The Deep and Sister Lobotomy Sodomy are hilarious.

That was some twisted shite.

It was great, but twisted.

Had no idea it was the same guy until halfway through season 1. I was gobsmacked.

This was definitely a step forward from the last couple of episodes. Glad Hughie’s dad had an actual payoff. Simon Pegg is going to be fun with powers, methinks. Butcher has a sentient parasite that doesn’t want anyone killing off the host? That what others are thinking?

Deep and Sage are the couple this show needed. I’ll let you in the back door while we watch the Kim and Ray J vid…. That was something.

Starlight is so stupid. She deserves to have Homelander laser her.

I think the scientists were dumb as shite for taunting a kid with powers. Took a while, but they had to know that was gonna bite them in the arse at some point.

Hopefully this season is ready for the Boys to get back on mission and kill some more supes.

I actually thought the Frenchie gay storyline was going to pay off with the black guy pulling a long con to get revenge and maybe even being “fake gay” to get close to Frenchie.
Homelander was fantastic in this episode. Tension ramped up to 10. Starr is so damn good.

A-Train making a comeback as an interesting character.

The Deep is fricking hilarious. His relationship with Sage actually works. Both actors are doing a great job with it. Like others said had to look away during the frontal lobotomy scene.

There's an awful lot going on at once, but I'm in!

As stated, the Deep and Sage are hilarious.

Am I wrong for wanting to absolutely destroy the poon of Ashley Barrett?

I’ve long discussed the politics of the show here lamenting about how it’s more or less even-keeled.
But it’s gotten much more biased with the Homelanders (Right wing) being trashy methed out scum and the Starlighters (Left, quasi-Antifa) are just harmless goofs. Just on S4E2 do far.

Starlight is the real villain in this show. Change my mind.

Ok, so in The Boys: Diabolical there was an episode (John and Sun-Hee) where a man's wife had inoperable cancer and he gives Compound V to her in hopes it will cure her. The Cancer actually ends up absorbing the Compound V instead of her and becomes a "super cancer"

Butcher took Compound V after he found out he had the brain tumor - the brain tumor absorbed the Compound V and that's why it didn't "cure" him. Butcher is basically Venom now, and his tumor has become a superpowered symbiote.

Almost everyone can be seen as a villain on the show, at some level or another.

Homelander is the most evil, but at the same time Ep 4 does a good job of explaining exactly why this insanely powerful superbeing is the way he is.

I will say that The Boys has been way better than the source material (politics aside).

I'm not sure WHY they felt the need to inject real-world politics into the show. You easily had a fantasy political struggle between "Supes" who believe they're above everyone and the normal people who get stepped on but don't know what to do. I think better writers would have been able to just use that conflict. Marvel did it pretty well with the concept of a Superhuman Registration Act.

Starr carries about 50% of the weight of this show at this point. He puts you on pins and needles for what shite he’s about to pull every time he’s on screen.

As I was watching the ridiculous ice skating rehearsal, I wondered if the writers appreciated the irony while they were laughing hysterically about the lyrics in the writing room. Just two episodes earlier, they depicted a right wing circle jerk conspiracy convention, where every ridiculous right wing notion of the left was on full display. Meanwhile, the show writers were having their own circle jerk depicting every ridiculous notion about the right.

Still enjoying the show though. I feel like they have to be setting up a situation where Homelander’s kid is the one to kill him.

Well the show is satire about current day society which includes politics. It’s always been heavy on the political stuff. So far the season has been pretty good but I just didn’t like Ep4. Lots of wasted time with Homelander going over something they’ve gone over multiple times before only with less nuance and more bag of hammers to the face. The Starlight thread in this episode was also dumb. I know she’s an impetuous and self righteous lunatic but even for her what she did was silly. And retconning a pregnancy/abortion was lazy too. Liked the first 3eps of the season but 4 was a downer imo except for Sista and The Peak. Best couple yet.

This season has a lot less shock value so far. I really don't care for the FireCracker person but The Deep and Sister Sage relationship is just an odd one I'm digging. Also unsure how I feel about A-Train turn and keep waiting for him to turn again.

Homelander is definitely killing A-Train this season. Gonna find out he took the V and gave it to Huey.
