Rebooting myself
Over all I liked it. But uneven at times.
But i like how they found some balance to the sups.

I think a key 0lot to season 2 will be the sex was consensual and more than once

Watched the first two episodes last night and will probably finish the series by the start of next week.
I think it would've been better if they saved the "Homelander is ALSO actually a piece of crap" thing until later in the season. Could've peppered hints throughout the episodes that he's actually a turd.

Just finished it. Really good stuff - as someone who knew nothing about the comic going in I was blown away. It was just really well done top to bottom IMO.
The way Homelander is always teetering right on that edge is wild. Really makes it seem like he'll do anything at any point.
And yeah I guess the baby is just dead? Which I figured Homelander would do eventually but didn't expect him to kill Madelyn until right before it went down.
The only thing I didn't like that much was turning the Deep into a bit of a joke as the season went on.

Liked it more than the Marvel Netflix stuff (which I really liked).

That was already clear from the security cam footage and Homelander's commentary, including that it was one time and she disappeared after that/later.
I laughed harder than I probably should have at Butcher using the baby as a weapon.

I started watching this last week, thanks to HFBoards. I really liked season 1 and I'm glad I came across this thread. Thanks OP!
I had to check out the wiki for Black Noir because I wasn't really sure what his powers were other than just being a strong SOB. Apparently he is like a ninja with heightened senses and strength, in case anybody else was in the same boat as me. Also, I didn't know that "noir" was french for "black", haha.
Have one question...

How did Butcher know Hughie was in danger when he crashed into the store to fight Translucent? It's almost like he just figured the whole bug thing was going to fail from the beginning, or was he just stalking outside the store and saw something was up already?

Well, Translucent was carrying the bug with him so Butcher would have heard him from the time he found the bug to the moment he entered the store. Probably knew Translucent was going to show up the entire time.

Wow, ha, I feel dumb for that going over my head. Thanks!

I think Homelander is now my favourite superhero.
This series is the perfect antidote to Marvel’s overproduced team-up megamovies. First Preacher, now The Boys, soon Y: The Last Man...keep ‘em coming, studios!

This is an amazing series, and the show runners were really, really, really good at red hearings and reveals, holy crap. Can't wait for season 2.

I finished up a rewatch yesterday, and a couple of things stood out.
Antony Starr is effin' magnificent as Homelander. Just creepy AF.
And I also noticed that what seemed like 95 percent of the time Starlight is on screen, they film her from her left side. Very peculiar. Maybe its the weed, but if anyone else notices this let me know so I don't feel like such a weirdo.

I don't really like the interactions between Hughie and Starlight. They feel out of place in such a sardonic show. They would fit in just about any generic teen drama.
Overall it's a great show though. Really fun premise. Karl Urban is awesome.

The more use of the c-word, the better, IMO
