Ep 1 was good but Im not sure how we got here from the end of S1. Hopefully it gets explained.

I read the comics over the summer.

Great way to start, hard not to end this batch wanting Stormfront to die the most painful death possible. And now, we have to wait every Friday for new ones.

[controversial opinion]Prime Video does such a great job with this show and Mrs. Maisel that it only makes me angrier at how much attention that worthless, unfunny drivel Fleabag gets.

First two episodes were pretty good.

The third is the best episode of the show so far. Fantastic, terrifying stuff.

I love how they were making Stormfront appear kinda sympathetic or at least not a stuck up piece of garbage like the rest of them, but then you get to ep 3 and your like oh hell no, this human trash better get what's coming to her by the end!

The moment her name was given as Stormfront my eyebrow raised. It's a name that makes a statement in this day and age.

Going back to episode 3, was anyone else practically yelling at their TV about Kimiko's brother? Like before he got killed had had TONS of opportunities to use his fucking telekinetic powers before running right up to Stormfront like a fucking dumbass. That bothered me severely. Also the fact that his power was tied to his hands was ridiculously stupid, but that one is a personal thing that I won't hold against the show.

I knew this was on the way since Honest Trailers did a vid on the first season just a few days back reminding me the show was a thing, and if the second season's as bingeable as the first one was then I'll be plenty happy.

I haven't read the comics but I'm loving it so far. The character development is excellent, especially what they are doing with the supes to humanize them. Which makes me very wary of where they are going with Butcher because he seems to be the one who has exhibited the most villainous tendencies without really showing much in the terms of redemption. I am not convinced he actually gives a shit about any of his friends and just sees them as a means to an end. I'm also not sure he will actually be satisfied if he accomplishes his goal. Or maybe he just gets everyone killed along the way, I guess that's very feasible.

I also want to know more about Black Noir. He seems highly competent but they have given us very little on him so far. It's very suspicious and sure he could just be the classic cool shadowy character but with as character driven as the story is, I think there's gotta be a reveal there.

Butcher is probably my favorite character so far. The missus really enjoys Homelander.

I'm guessing if I read the comics I'll very quickly catch up with the show?

I haven't read the comics but my understanding is the show is a radical departure from the source material in a lot of ways, generally for the better.

From what I know, the graphic novel is as different from the show as possible

I know the gn plot and at this point its a 5% chance the show follows it

The graphic novel goes way too intense and heavy handed into everything and it's quite honestly pretty gross. Standard Garth Ennis fare where every adaptation that takes the shitty parts of his writing out is better than the original.

The comics and show are different enough that I think you wouldn't really spoil yourself on the show if you read the comics, I would think.

I think the comics do some things better, the show does other things better. The last 20% of the comics I thought were really good and I don't really see how the show can top it... but it's going in a different direction in general so we'll see.

The show's casting is spot on.

It was a great episode, I'm just starting to worry that this is not going to tie things up very well, if at all. I'd rather them push some of these plotlines into S3 (the cult definitely will), but a Stormfront/Homelander nazi takeover while also trying to make more supes sounds like a whole lot to come to a conclusion by the end of this season. Unless they take the kind of easy way out and just have Homelander say "you know what, fuck your idea of white supremacy. Supe supremacy!" which is where I feel like this is going.

really great episode and I don't want to be negative, but definitely starting to think this entire season is just plot setup for S3 >_>

Idk how much this follows the comics, and I only have a cursory knowledge of them anyway, but isn't Black Noir just a clone of Homelander? Unless that's changed, that's who I expect to kill Homelander. Maybe even by season's end as a "shocking cliffhanger".
