Easily the most entertaining show in the worst of times. People who watch this show and moan about it need to really lighten up.
Plenty of posters on here could use that advice!Now remember what I told you! Don't be a cnut.
Biblical advice.
For me and I'm sure a lot others, Bill Butcher and the actor playing him is the best thing in the show, period. It's not a character to take too seriously outside of being memorable.Really enjoyed that final episode, though did have the laugh at the three girls kicking Stormfront, surely they should have been able to uses their actual powers to finish her off.
No idea where they go with it from here. Guess Butcher's hate for Homelander and Stormfront is still there as well, but not sure they can make to much more from that considering how Homelander let them go in the end.
I thought Queen Maeve was meant to be just as strong, though it was more just how they had her completely beat and just went to random kicks instead of breaking her neck or something.For me and I'm sure a lot others, Bill Butcher and the actor playing him is the best thing in the show, period.

As for the others finishing Stormfront, she's probably just a tier below if not the same bracket as Homelander in powers. All the rest weren't close to her level I think.
I wonder if the kid's lasers completely fecking Stomfront up means he's more powerful than Homelander too.
It's part of her power set I think. They hinted at quick recovery/coming back from death when she was ambushed by Black Noir, having been gutted pretty badly.Here's one thing I nearly forgot in all the later madness.
How did she survive having her neck broken?
The plot armour bit always confuses me. I mean I'd understand it if we were watching a Chris Nolan flick but this more entertainment. As long as they don't consistently do stupid shit I'm fine with it.The last episode was very GOT season 7/8
Plot armour, teleporting and characters conveniently knowing where to be at the right time etc.
That's the one..Soulja Boy ?
Yeah, people use plot armour way too liberally. It's the same with flanderization and comedies. Everyone's an expert.The plot armour bit always confuses me.

Re. people being at the right place all the time, I think the humans planned everything to a T, and the Supes don't need long to find a target at all. Naturally they catch up quick!
I thought with the 'Girls get it done' line, the show writers were openly mocking Marvel with their forced scenes.Really enjoyed that final episode, though did have the laugh at the three girls kicking Stormfront, surely they should have been able to uses their actual powers to finish her off.
Terrible stuff!Feck Fresca!
I've been told it's a lot more cringey and edgy. Like a lot.Anyone read the actual comic? I've only seen season 1 of the show but read the first 50 or so issues of the comic years ago. It was good fun.
Finished all the comics. Far superior to the TV series. TV has gone totally down its own path.Anyone read the actual comic? I've only seen season 1 of the show but read the first 50 or so issues of the comic years ago. It was good fun.
He's dating a superhero, has killed another superhero, and broke into the headquarters of the superheroes to save his superhero girlfriend. He's not the most manly man of men, but let's give him some credit.Quality show, really hate Hughie. I understand that they need balance but he's just such a fecking pussy it annoys me.

He's a massive fecking pussy. His endless chick flick moments are embarrassing and I hate the way every one in it goes on about how amazing he is, it's boring. I'm also not a huge fan of starlight because she bores me to death with her chick flick moments as well.He's far from a pussy in fairness.
I'm not sure what you're referring to by chick flick moments. Hughie is the only character in the whole assemble who is not a superhero or CIA trained, so the fact he can hold his own and outsmart others is actually impressive. Naturally you'd expect others in the team to endear him, I don't get what the issue isHe's a massive fecking pussy.

Chick flick moment is a term that was in season 1 of Supernatural, another Eric Kripke show. It's basically those forced emotional conversations/moments that for me just don't seem natural. Maybe I just don't know anyone like Hughie but his character is so boring. He's also the only truly unfunny character in it.I'm not sure what you're referring to by chick flick moments.

As someone else said, he blew up a supe, is dating a supe, convinced another supe to help him and constantly puts himself in danger. So yeah, pussy wouldn't be the most accurate term to describe him.
Its also used by Voght earlier in the series on a back poster when they are interviewing Stormfront and StarlightI thought with the 'Girls get it done' line, the show writers were openly mocking Marvel with their forced scenes.
Edit: its a comic book scene apparently!
Him and Antony Starr and brilliant. That woodland scene was fantastic. They really are just dark versions of Batman and Superman.Karl Urban was phenomenal this episode. Strongest acting we've seen in the show to date. Can he hurry up and play Solid Snake please!!!?!!
Ah thanks. It wasn't clear before.Chick flick moment is a term that was in season 1 of Supernatural, another Eric Kripke show. It's basically those forced emotional conversations/moments that for me just don't seem natural. Maybe I just don't know anyone like Hughie but his character is so boring.

Just to be clear I loved the show but I just don't like Hughie.
Can't fly but it's not a stretch of logic to think she knew where they'd be. Starlight went to her for help so we're assuming she knew the jyst of the plan even if she was disinterested.I'm not sure whether it's because I watched the last season all at once and this one spaced out, but I liked that one a whole lot less. Some good moments but just so much filler.
Also
Is Maeve supposed to be able to fly? How does she turn up in the middle of nowhere right at the end? I know this is basically just big dumb entertainment but it was jarring.
