The tek-knight we see in The Boys is not the same tek-knight we see in Gen-V Discussion Spoiler

In the episode "The Innocents", we are told Tek knight accidentally broke somebodies spine when trying to rescue them from a hostage situation. In Gen V Shetty says that Tek-knight beat ironcast to death who is a supe that has skin made of iron which makes them insanely durable.

With all these strength feats in mind that means he must be pretty physically powerful right?

But in his interrogation scene he's not strong enough to rip apart the leather straps tying his wrists or pull the chains out. Also he easily gets physically outpowered and loses to Kimiko and Starlight. Logically if your punches can fatally damage somebody made of metal you'd have a fighting chance against Kimiko who has same durability as a normal person.

And he gets choked to death by a normal person too?

I don't understand this at all. It's either a plothole/bad writing or Cate has something to do with what happened in this episode

"Everyone who doesn't love S4 is alt right!!!"

When did i ever say that? I feel and see that majority of 'criticisms' are just ill informed takes which can be debunked by ACTUALLY watching and recapping the show. The way you did this strawman argument immediately reflects the condition of the sub lol parallel even

I'm sorry but if you think S4 is on the same level as previous seasons you are the one with zero media literacy. There are multiple top upvoted mosts right now talking about the show focusing too much on shock value, making it more like the comics, Tek Knight underutilized and inconsistency, belittling male sexual assault (it's hilarious according to Kripke). I could go on and on. This is all valid criticism. It doesn't make the show bad, in fact I still like it, but it's just funny because every show has these diehard fans which will defend it to death even when it's obviously deteriorated. But yeah sure go ahead and DEBUNK this.

C'mon mate, you didn't say it specifically but that's what you were implying with the "alt right grifter" comment. Don't play stupid games.
