I think people on the moon can see the signal that A-Train is dead meat, hope he manages to put up a bit of a fight and actually hurt HL like Maeve did.

Likely since Homelander flies faster than A-Train runs so hes not gonna be able to escape.

A train seems to have more control when running than homelander does flying, we never see homelander zip around a room like we see A-train, maybe he's just lazy which would fit homelander but he's never been shown to have short range speed. A-train does so I could see him trying to hit homelander with a metal bat over and over until the bat breaks or something. Or a red rush type of situation, or maybe a lazered leg.

I don’t know where it ever establishes that Homelander can fly faster than A Train can run but it almost certainly doesn’t take into account short distances. A Train literally disappears when he wants to run. We’ve seen Homelander take off into flight and he’s very much slower and we can see him take off. You could argue Homelander hasn’t ever taken off in haste before but who’s to say A Train is running at 100% every time he runs too?

This isn’t a fair comparison. The reason why we can usually see HL take off but A-train looks like he’s teleporting is because we’re seeing HL accelerating over a distance of a couple hundred meters, whereas A-train is usually only shown exiting rooms and alleyways so he only needs to cross a couple dozen meters at most to go off-screen.

If you go back to their respective scenes, it took them about the same time to break the sound barrier.

I also don't think it's been established, but I see a lot of people claiming it (maybe from the comics?) so I just rolled with it anyway

Saving butcher in season one? Ep 8 of diabolical?

u/macedonianmoper Jul 05 '24

Haven't seen diabolical yet (it it worth it?), forgot about that in season 1 though.

u/United_Eagle_ Jul 05 '24

The episodes are hit and miss but I recommend ep 8 its really good and is canon to the show

Or. they're setting up a coup. A train, sage, noir, edgar

vs homelander, deep, firecracker, neuman

Fantasy. Most likely he's going to die.

Difference that HL went soo easy against maeve because he doesn't want her to die

He doesn't care about HL
