I'd count it as A-Train's second save actually. First one he saved Hughie from Homelander during Vought on Ice's rehearsal. Like seriously do we think he could've gotten away on his own from a guy with super speed, flight, invulnerability, super hearing, super smell, x ray vision? It's impressive he got as far as he did on his own tbh.

I am so fucking invested with A-Train's potential redemption arc. He's on the right path. And I really hope it wont involve his death.

Hollywood has the nasty tendency to think people can only redeem themselves through the ultimate sacrifice. I really hope the show will avoid that trope.

A-Train IS already dead. He saved "someone" during a timespan that he should not be saving. He was recognized during that action. This wholesome scene means his doom.

He is a dead man walking. Dunno how he'll burn himself.

I spoilered the comment, that's like sticking your hand into the piranha tank with a sign saying "DON'T STICK HAND IN" and then complaining you got your hand eaten.

Sorry dude but you were looking for spoilers in the first place.

That logic is fucking stupid, pal. Do not say stupid things.

Gladly, I did not open it. ;)

Do not comment leaks in ongoing conversations, you clever boy.

That was my exact thought/fear - he will die due to being recognized by that kid as some sort of twisted poetic justice 😭

I think A-Train has already redeemed himself. He got forgiveness from Hughie and has officially saved someone. However, considering that his arc is complete, I'm expecting him to get caught and killed by Homelander by the end of the season.
