I don't like the SB twist.

Thought he works better as a foil to HL. This will inevitably lead to a team up between them and end with SB either getting killed by HL or Noir.

Which is a shame because he seems like a good character

We'll see where they go with it tho

tbf barely anyone predicted a train getting blue hawk's heart

I personally think he should have stayed dead, but is also a decent twist.

Just got back from watching the episode, goddamn at the twists

Maeve still being alive, A-Train having his heart transplanted with Blue Hawk, and the big one being Homelander is the son of Soldier Boy. It makes sense, considering all the flashbacks shown shows that Soldier Boy is just Homelander without the flying or heat vision. Soldier Boy was just one giant fucking narcisitic asshole.

It's a shame about Butcher, I thought him reliving his past would actually develop his character, instead it only doubles down because he knows it's too late for him to change now he took a shit ton of doses of temp Compound V.

Black Noir is about to do some crazy shit next episode and I can't wait for it.

-Butcher goes through nightmares about how he gets everyone around him killed
-Proceeds to not tell Hughie that the Temp V will kill him
Bravo Butcher. I guess since Hughie's already taken 3 doses he's in the red for frying his brain so Butcher felt like it was redundant, but that should be Hughie's call on whether or not he would continue.

Also, if A-Train doesn't go rogue after this like Annie, literally nothing will.

Is it though, SB didn't seem to give a flying crap about hearing what he did to MM. I think people just assumed he was a more realistic Captain America and was just a 40s idea of masculine and not actually a dick.

Yeah, people are mixing good character with charisma, which Soldier Boy and Homelander have charisma because the actors playing as them do such an amazing performance. If you watched this or any of the episodes and conclude that he's a "good character", you're nuts. He's essentially the original Homelander, a giant abusive asshole that thinks he can do whatever he wants because he was the leader. The only reason I can think some people think he's a "good character" because he's never done any of the "repulsive shit" on screen like some of the other supes have done.

Dang, here I was thinking Soldier Boy might have actually been one of the good ones. A-Train didn't look too happy that he got Hawk's heart, wonder how that's going to play out. I think Noir is going to look for a team up with MM and Frenchie to take down Soldier Boy.

At least it seems to be the harmless kind; oddly enough based off what's been shown in the series he's probably one of the nicest supes behind Starlight, Kimiko and Maeve

Dude reached out and touched a piece of his own brain lying on the ground before him--makes sense he's fucked in the head. And, yeah, this episode was definitely trying to make the audience sympathize with him and show what SB did to him, who's always been a total fucking psycho, like his son...

He's had them since he was a kid. The beaver specifically mentions 7th grade.

Also stop marking spoilers when the topic title says spoilers, it's annoying highlighting shit.

They kind of take a backseat to every other storyline. It helps though that the performances are terrific.

Hey, some mod got me in another topic for supposedly posting spoilers because I said I was glad Kimiko wasn't killed by Soldier Boy, and that topic was also clearly marked as spoilertown, so I'm just covering my ass in case some negative nancy barges in.

Called the Soldier Boy twist from a mile away and I really don't like it. Unless they do another twist and have him still wanting to kill Homelander. But I'm guessing Homelander will betray Soldier Boy and kill him.

Tbh not my favorite episode of the season. Probably one of the weaker ones. I did like Noir's parts and Starlight at the end. The majority of the episode felt like a jumbled mess. At least Hughie is getting better.

I think Butcher's shit this ep was kinda dumb. Like I get it, he's too far gone, he's lost all humanity for the sake of the mission, but him not telling Hughie about the temp V felt like a wasted opportunity. Should have told Hughie and Hughie should have disregarded it.

They are trying to artifically bring this Butcher back in line with the comic version, which they completely derailed at one point with the Becca shit and homelander jr. being like a step son to him. Now they are clearly angling towards classic Butcher.

Looks like Newman just gave homelander his address. He can't resist Homelander, maybe he will get captured and put in a cell, to further drone on and drag on the beaten point of homelander's screw ups/hypocrisy that they've been dragging on with no development for three seasons. Maybe grandpa Ackles will save him, maybe he gets killed off.

I think it would be better if Hughie eventually became more deranged than Butcher. This would have been a good starting point.

He'll either tell him when they steal the temp V, and/or he'll knock him out to prevent him from using it
