E7 is a bit better than the other ones. Loved the
Deep/Noir teamup. shit was cash
but seeing
Sister Sage act retarded about muh disinformation vector and get kicked out was kinda aids.
 
It doesn't make any fucking sense that Sage wouldn't tell Homelander about the leak. She should've told Homelander about it earlier, and then just tell him that they can use A-Train to feed the enemy false information. Then you can have a later scene where Homelander confronts A-Train and presents him with the head of his brother once the dude is no longer useful. You can even polish it off with another brutal beat-down where Homelander pops A-Train's skull the way Omni-Man did to Red Rush back in Invincible.

Sage just comes off as a know-it-all bitch who can't even properly communicate or relay information to her boss on time. She deserved to get fired. In fact, she's extremely lucky; given what kind of monster Homelander is, Sage is fortunate that she wasn't executed for her fuck-up. Homelander has literally killed people for less.

If you pulled that kind of shit with your boss in real life, to the point where he terminates/fires the wrong people due to a problem that you know who is causing it, and you get found out, best case scenario, you get fired, worst case scenario, sued.

My personal theory is that people knew it was trash, but they couldn’t be seen agreeing with the chuds, so they had to choke it down with a smile.

Now they found an exit ramp that allows them to trash it, while appearing moral and different for doing so.

Whenever people say they like the show, usually they're talking about Homelander, Soldier Boy, or an earlier version of Butcher; the kind of people the show-writers wanted you to hate. So they made good things on accident and their actual ideas of who or what is good actually sucks in the eyes of the fanbase, like that Starlight feminist empowerment arc where Hughie has to learn to accept his role as a beta male, that part where Butcher pussies out from his deal with Soldier Boy, all the gross-out humor and sex jokes, and all the liberal preaching about gays, minorities, and how white Christian America sucks. Brought to you by people who are entirely reliant on white Christian America for protection.

Ah yes, the major media outlets are totally shilling for kids shows about the dangers of your woke antifa parents.

"They won't report our plans to take over America to the media because they want to take out Neuman quietly." I know she has ulterior motives, but even this excuse makes no sense for Sage to think would work.

Sage, how the fuck do you not know that speaking down to Homelander is gonna net you bad results? How couldn't you tell that he'd probably take a liking to Firecracker when you were literally the one that told Ashely about how the best way to get on his good side is to have big tits and talk to his ego?

Hey, A-Train, if you want to blend in, maybe don't wear your bright blue, recognisable super suit while you're trying to tail Sage.

"So, I've been working on the virus, but I hit a snag. If we make it strong enough to kill Homelander, it'll cause a global pandemic, so instead-" "You want to commit genocide!? Damn it, Butcher, this is just like you." Oh my god, Annie, shut the fuck up and let the man speak you self-righteous twat waffle.

Ashley feels guilt for getting Coleman killed? How the fuck is god damn Ashley coming off as more sympathetic than most of the good guys?

Damn, I knew they were gonna do a Jan 6th parallel, but I didn't know it was literally just gonna be Jan 6th.

A-Trains conversation with MM comes off feeling just like the A-Train movie they were mocking earlier.

Homelander still can't figure out that A-Train's the leak.

"I look in the mirror and hate what I see, a monster!" Remember at the end of last season where Kimiko was gleefully butchering random security to pop music because she'd come to accept what she was? Well the show doesn't.

"You should not hate yourself." "Then neither should you." A little girl being fed drugs and, under the threat of execution, forced to murder other girls is not at all comparable to a man who has been willingly murdering people for money and drugs for years.

The Deep kicks Annie's ass, she is never going to live that down.

Did Homelander even like A-Train? How the fuck is that making him cry?

Sage admits that she knew A-Train was the leak and says that she was actually using him to send misinformation. Instead of Homelander pointing out that this is obvious bullshit or killing her, he just fires her. And Sage treats this like an unexpected betrayal. SMARTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.

This shapeshifter bullshit is coming in a little late.

I’d say the only people that Homelander genuinely “likes” are the Deep, A-Train, and surprisingly enough, Ashley.
They’ve been there since the beginning and he even said (after killing Noir1 I believe) that they are the closest thing to a real family that he’s ever had. I’d say Homelander had A-Train in his top 5, maybe even top 3 people he cared about.
“Care”in a loose sense obviously since they’ve shown how HL treats those that he “cared” or “cares” for.
Webweavers scene was fucking gross though, I didnt like any scene involving that disgusting character.
Haha. Get it, he farts and webs come out, get it? He’s a disgusting freak. Isn’t that funny?
Cool kill though.

Kimiko spent 3 seasons lamenting being a horrible monster, while at the same time literally ripping people's faces off.

Then she lost her powers, was happy at first because she's no longer a monster, got depressed and realized she can use her powers for good while at the same time understanding the pains of mortality, got the her powers back back, and instantly started gleefully brutalizing innocent guards doing their job, and now she's depressed again over being a monster.

Hot take, but fuck kimiko, she's unironically worse than homelander. At least 90% of homelander's kills are relatively quick and painless, and the remaining 10% that aren't are still less sadistic than kimiko's are, and you really have to piss homelander off to get him to kill you while kimiko will rip your face off while you scream just for being on the wrong place at the wrong time.

But because she's a woman that means its justified and she will never face any reprecautions for it because its ok when a woman does it because women cannot be held accountable for anything.

This episode shows that the writers have no continuity at all.

Hughie's father murdered a dozen people at a hospital. His body has Compound V inside of it. No autopsy? No question why the father of the guy who dated Starlight was covered in blood and had V in his system? Homelander could have had Hughie arrested for drugging his father and that would have hurt Starlight and The Boys. Nigger Sage is aware that MM's daughter gets into fights at middle school......but not that Hughie's father was on V and rampaged through a hospital killing a bunch of people? Do the police just not care that a hospital had a dozen murders in it?

Homelander knows that A-Train hates him. He heard A-Train mock him in the hallway. He knows that A-Train refused to wear the proper uniform for his birthday show. He tried to humiliate A-Train by having the Deep blow him in the conference room. Then he's shocked that A-Train was the leak? Almost every member of the Seven has betrayed Homelander so far. Maeve hated Homelander. Noir lied to Homelander for years. Starlight hates Homelander. Firecracker plotted to kill him. Also letting Sister Sage leave was idiotic. He kills Webweaver for being guilty but then lets an even more guilty and dangerous person off free to just leave and possibly plot against him.

I’ve never seen a show blatantly hate their MC as much as Kripke hates Hughie.

Hughie is also raped by a shapeshifter this episode. So this is two episodes in a row where he is bizarrely sexually assaulted.

None of them actually die this season outside of (unconfirmed) Kimko.

Well, it seems like it was all a shitty bait scene (well no shit she could just amputate the infected leg).

God damn the leaks are even worse when looking at the final product.

My expectations are low for this kike shit and yet it keeps getting more incoherent and hitting a new low I didn't even know existed.

> why do you keep watching this kike propaganda
I fell for the sunk cost fallacy meme due to season one, please somebody help me!

This is an actual plothole imo, how the fuck did homelander just fire her instead of literally splitting her half like he's done with literally every single other person who has ever pissed him off in the history of the entire show?

The only way this can make sense is if Homelander plays into his claim of having wisdom rather than intelligence so he cuts her loose knowing full well she'll instinctively want to plan the ideal outcome for him and he can just swoop in and steal that at the last minute before he lazers her to death.

Same reason he let Butcher, Hughie, and Starlight live a million times rather than kill them. He's written poorly. Homelander rarely kills anyone important. Stan Edgar was left alive and so was Vogelbaum. This show has anime level plot armor on most characters.
 
Crazy how these retards think a superpowered maniac butchering normal security guards just doing their job is supposed to be seen as badass/empowering.
 
The "Avenue V" skit was awful. It just hijacked the name of a pretty good musical, which fine had a liberal slant, that was at least funny. Some of the songs still hold up like "There's a Fine Fine Line", "The Internet Is For Porn" and "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist".

Because the people who write this shit wouldn't want that. The same way they didn't want Maeve to die to Soldier Boy even though it would've been a logical conclusion to her story arc, especially since the actress was leaving.

So is this second sexual assault of Hughie also supposed to be “hilarious”?

More sinister than hilarious given the context and the tune of the scene.

Someone like Satele Shan carving a path through bloodthirsty powerful Sith to save her boyfriend is badass and empowering. Kimiko tearing apart Vought guards merely doing their job is her being a brutal bully. Especially since, given her superpowered state, she could've just knocked them unconscious, yet she chose to butcher them. Meanwhile Satele gives the Sith she killed a quick death, and they're super-powered beings like her, who have a chance at killing her if she doesn't deal with them fast.
