I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the butcher becoming a supe storyline, but they’ve nailed everything else so far. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that the main characters are super in the comics. Makes sense really, how else are they supposed to stand up?

They took compound V to actually go toe to toe with the other supes. Their version was temporary and had to be retaken.

Yeah boy.

True heart will beat any type of powers!

I mean, isn't that very question the heart of the show? The big hook at the end of the pilot relied on the the interest in that very premise: how non-supes killed one of The Seven. To say that the only way the show can work is by not doing the very thing that it has done during the first 2 great seasons is definitely not good logic.

That being said, I understand that the show is going to stick to the comic's storyline by giving Butcher powers and I am not criticizing it for that. I'm excited to see more development of this idea that Butcher and HL are not so different from one another and that they could find, in each other, the surrogate brother that they've never had. I think there's a lot of great territory to explore there. But it is true that we will have to "wait and see" whether the show can execute a plotline that strays what has been its bread-and-butter so far.

This, they're supes from the get go lol.

It was weird them not having super powers, although I'd have preferred they stuck with them just having super strength and being able to go toe-to-toe, rather than laser eyes and all that bullshit. Either way, it's about time really



How do you suggest they kill Homelander, Noir, or Maeve without powers? They killed a dude who can't do anything except go invisible, and they fucked up a dude who's fast, with the help of a supe.

The minute compound V was introduced, it should have been obvious that this was never a question of if, only when.

1- They don't have to kill them (the story is going well with those characters alive)

2- If they do have to kill them, they can use the power of other supes or some wacky sci-fi tech shit

3- Translucent wasn't just invisible, the episode spent plenty of time talking about how his skin was special/indestructible. Other supes were surprised that a way to kill was even found.

Blah58 said "Makes sense really, how else are they supposed to stand up?" which is what I was responding to. Non-supes have done plenty of standing up to supes. They do it naturally, by making alliances, persuading or bargaining with something the supes want. That whole territory is what makes the show interesting.

Doesn't seem like you understand the difference from the big three and other supes.

Reading the source material might help showcase that for you a bit, if you're at all curious. Butcher has to kill Homelander... it's been the driving force of the ENTIRE show, so either we want to be stuck in stagnant hell, or it needs to progress. I'll take progression.
