The bitch also killed a father for the crime of not wanting to be carjacked then laughed it off as it being his fault for attempting to use a firearm to defend himself. Also her bitching out Soldier boy as a hero who never cared made no sense from a writing standpoint after the viewers saw him mention his WW2 accomplishments with pride rather than indifference or distaste.
Maybe? Seems completely random with a side order of enhanced strength and durability; theoretically it could make you look normal but have odd traits, make you look like a monster, or give you a useless mix like Bobby Boing.
It makes no sense from a writing standpoint. Soldier Boy doesn't know that he killed those people, and his pride at serving his country does show that he cared about the nation. Especially considering the fact that he allowed himself to be experimented upon so that he can become a supersoldier for the cause. He could've died from the V injection for all he knew, and he still took that risk and kept fighting for his country for 40 years. And he's somehow portrayed negatively because he thinks differently of women in combat? Sure, Mallory was pissed at the guy for treating her more like a floozie rather than a soldier, but to be fair to the man, he was an adult during the 1940s, and attitudes were different back then. Not to mention that he fought alongside Crimson Countess, so it's not like he didn't want female fighters on the field. He just had a different attitude due to the fact that he grew up half a century ago compared to most of them.
Stormfront and Soldier Boy were adults when they were given Compound V, weren't they? Soldier Boy was already a grown man, and Stormfront was Frederick Vought's wife.
Could just be the new versions of V are more stable if they are given to you around puberty or some shit, while as an adult it's more likely to backfire or some shit, I'm sure there's a throwaway line somewhere that explains this shit. Or not, because they are too busy planning the next girlboss moment, who knows.
It's a real shame that Solider Boy is likely to die in the next few episodes as he's the most interesting character this season and injected new life in the show. Characters like MM and Frenchie just seem like mandatory baggage at this point. I was ready to drop this show but picked season 3 up during a business trip and was surprised at how it was able to keep me interested, but I still had to skip the MM, Frenchie/Female love arc and Starlight scenes. Anthony Star seems to carry the show at this point. I'm surprised he's been acting for 20+ years. Goes to show that Hollywood doesn't know how to promote talent.
MM and Frenchie are practically baggage compared to the main plot. MM's whole storyline about how Soldier Boy killed his family felt rather hollow since it's not like SB sought to kill his family; more like MM's family were just civilian casualties caused by collateral damage during a fight Soldier Boy had. That's unfortunate, but it's not like SB WANTED to kill them.
Hughie was willing to die in a nuclear explosion to kill Chudlander, I can't believe how based he is now. Fuck Starlight, she's a hypocritical bitch. Hughie should be with Maeve so that they can produce GigaChad-tier kids.
That's absolutely true. The cliche line "We're not so different, you and I" strikes at the core of the dynamic of most interesting rivalries of the human condition - a hero who could be the villain and a villain who could be the hero, if only a butterfly fluttered it's wings in a single crucial moment. While Butcher's and Homie's downfalls happen at different times they complete each other - an abused child trying to take the childhood he never had back any way he could and a grizzled adult who had the remains of his child-like idealism and belief in a better world horribly twisted when his door into normalcy was violently shut.
Makes me want the next season to be the last. I think it makes for a great setup, if the next finale ties up a lot of things with a more than an hour runtime. I can't stomach 5 season of this. But that twist was interesting for a non comic reader. How much comic content have we got left in terms of seasons?
I didn't read; would this be 2 or 1 season's worth of content?
1 season
