Amazon's "The Boys"

This was a good episode to upgrade to 4K for.

It was just meant to be a backdrop so there would be people for Soldier Boy to massacre before Homelander showed up.

Loved this week's episode. Really makes you wonder what's going to happen next week. Homelander has to finally lose it, right?

He's definitely not as strong as Superman, but I guess that's a given.

Maybe Homelander got enough of a dose of glowy energy that he will lose his powers. It happened with Kimiko instantly but maybe it will take a few hours for Homelander.

[Show spoiler]He had a bruise on his face.

And A-Train’s brother just needs a dose of the temp-V to be healed - so probably Hughie will do that, since A-train doesn’t know about temp-V.

Chances are that temp-V would also give Kimiko her powers back. Which would mean that Homelander would also get his powers back…so they really need to kill him or else everyone - Hughie, Starlight, Billy, etc - are all good as dead.

Herogasm was quite different in the comics, when the show runners announced this season would feature it then it’s understandably it got a lot of people excited about the possibilities but it’s not like we were going to see

[Show spoiler] Homelander screw Soldier Boy like in the comic lol

[El Rey]

all the hype the past week was about Herogasm, which was funny, but that fight scene was badass

Luckily I wasn't subjected to any pre-episode hype, so I was able to enjoy the episode as it was. The fight was definitely the highlight though - just didn't go far enough. Not that they'll kill him off, but I'm ready to see Homelander completely brought down for a while. Especially given that the show has no shortage of super psychos and human garbage.

[No Name]

This season's been pretty good so far (especially that last episode) but part of me feels that they should've stuck to the comic book with regards to

[Show spoiler]the reveal of Black Noir not being showcased until the end when it's revealed he was a clone of Homelander and was responsible for the death of Butcher's wife.

But compared to another adaptation of Ennis' other iconic work: "Preacher", it's not bad for an adaptation.

This week's episode is up.

Thanks, I'll watch it tomorrow after I get up late since I have to work 3-11.

Looks like a character reset for the next season.

Black Noir´s furry friends are from the Chuck E Cheese parody the show produced months ago. It finally makes sense:

Buster Beaver's Official TV Commercial - YouTube

Loop up the show´s official Vought International and so on accounts on Twitter and Youtube. Those posts and minisodes are canon. They made an obvious reference to the way WB bulldozed Ray Fisher (and Snyder) with false accusations through Starlight´s exit from the team.

Morbius' return to theaters also got roasted. Crazy that Amazon of all people is allowing a show to be so vicarious.

PS: Diabolical E5-8 are all canon to the TV universe. E3 is set in the comic canon.

[Batman1980]

That was quite an ending!

It’s usually up by 8:00 PM EST,which Amazon does for all its shows. There was an issue yesterday with it not appearing on the main page or continue watching but if you went to the series page it was available at that time when I sat down to watch it.

I haven’t watched it yet, so this is the last episode for this season?

[Batman1980]

I believe there's 1 more next week

[Naiera]

There absolutely is one next week. All seasons have been eight episodes long.

The possibility of

[Show spoiler]Homeboy and Soldier Dad teaming up

isn't great news for our friends

It'd be crazy

[Show spoiler]if it was revealed that "Stormfront" was the mother but wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility as she was the only one who exhibited similar powers like Homelander along with his "mommy" issues.
