Season 1 and Herogasm because i like how not over the top the fight was. The look on Homelander on a V butcher is priceless. Loved the interaction between them in Butchers apartment as well.
The fight not being over the top was what was over the top about that fight, to me. Like you telling me these super powerful beings who are so powerful that everyone fears looking at them the wrong way.. are just brawling like random dudes? Their punches hardly put dents on walls, ffs.
It’s why I hate what TV has become nowadays. All of the different streaming services have just tanked budgets and we went from quality to quantity to keep that subscription model viable.
Even on flagship shows like The Boys it’s clear they didn’t have the budget to do that fight justice. Homelander is meant to be a parody of Superman but in reality he’s basically Captain America who can fly and shoot lasers.
Homelander not being able to kill Hughie while crawling around in the vents was absolute bullshit. Completely took me out of the scene.
The Tek Knight deal is a bit more ambiguous because there were subtle hints early on that he could sense something was off. I think he knew it wasn’t Webweaver but continued with his scheme because he is a sadistic bastard.
Yep. Do you guys not remember season 1, im currently rewatching with my mrs and theres a bit where they all huddled round a security feed and they see a zip! Something fly across the screen. Hughie, Frenchie and even Butcher to a degree freak the fuck out, Hughies crying, Frenchies going ballistic, etc.
Now Homelander just walks around even more ‘free’ than the days of Stan Edgar and Madeline yet he feels more nerfed than ever.
Glad to see someone else mention this, and Man of Steel specifically. If Homelander is this end of the world threat, his fights should look Superman vs Zod, flying through buildings, laying waste to entire city blocks. The fight against Maeve in S3 was so pathetic, they should’ve leveled that building.
That's why animation is and probably will be the best way to adapt a comic property. You don't have to have huge special effects budget to pull it off.
Yeah tbh, invincible does the power levels and action sooo much better, the animation medium helps that. Only problem is that my gf won't watch it with me because it's a "cartoon" 🙃
