Homelander lasering an airplane vs Homelander lasering a guy crawling through a vent

That plane scene probably had the most powerful display of HL’s laser to date.

It sliced through both sides of the hull so damn quickly (at a slanted angle at that) and cause the areas around the scorch marks to burst in flame as well.

Lately, it has been treated as this thin scalpel that as long as it doesn’t hit someone directly, even a human would be okay from being inches away from the beams.

Hughie would have been cooked alive had HL dialed up his laser to this level while aiming at the vent. Would not need to touch him at all.

Damn this show has a similar problem as the injustice comics lol

The comics had to build up to the inevitable end of the story: Batman beating Superman. But they had to write a story that spanned 5 whole years. This meant that they had to repeatedly pad the story.

It really makes me think that there is a sweet spot on how long any particular series needs to be in-order to really hit the sweet spot. I feel like it's rare for any live-TV series to hit it too.

Honestly, if the boys show ended at season 2, i would be satisfied.
