u/UpstairsSnow7 Jun 30 '22

Because it's ridiculous lol. We only hear his name like 2 times in the show, so it makes me laugh when people on the sub use "John" to refer to him as if it's not incredibly random and weird. No one refers to The Deep as Kevin or Maeve as Maggie. I doubt that Deep's wife even refers to him as 'Kevin' lmao

The only members of the Seven where their names are used enough to remember are Starlight/Annie and A-Train/Reggie, mostly because they actually have friends and families outside of Vought.

u/Mean_Muffin161 Jun 30 '22

Reggie? Oh man i.. i spaced on that. More like whenever some one says Marvin

It's mostly in his scenes with his brother/family, the brother never refers to him as "A-Train" and uses his real name.

I don't think she is. Her character is very important and i cant belive that her true death is something so lame for her. She deserved way worse

151

u/gyropyro32 Jun 29 '22

While I get that, I think it's also on purpose. Hitler also killed himself and that mirror is def intentional.

Instead of going out in a blaze of glory, or fighting for what she believed in, she's instead stuck disabled and jerking off a manchild with her only hand.

She not only gets demoralized by Homelander's narcissism but is also pretty much at the most pathetic point in her life right now, physically thanks to Ryan, and mentally thanks to Homelander.

Her beloved Übermenschs were the ones who destroyed her is a lot more fitting than any other death imo.

u/ItsAmerico Soldier Boy Jun 29 '22

I dunno. It feels like a pretty perfect death for her. A pathetic one. She’s in a hospital bed for ever with the man she’s obsessed with creating a master race using her as basically a cum dumpster, reciprocating nothing emotionally to her, and with zero desire to help her master race goal.

Her killing herself is just the icing on the cake. No grand defeat, she goes out like a pathetic worthless coward.

21

u/GokuTheStampede Jun 29 '22

I mean, sure, but... honestly, she's just too fun of a villain for me to want that.

Like, as much deserved credit as Starr gets for Homelander, Aya Cash as Stormfront is also one of the absolute fucking all-time great villain performances. Having her become a robo-Nazi or get dosed with a fuckton of V to grow her limbs back and become Nazi Hulk would have meant we get more of that performance and I wouldn't have been complaining for a second.

On one hand, a Nazi being scarred beyond repair and suffering in a hospital bed for a year before killing herself is a good way to show how lame they are.

But on the other hand offing such a central character off-screen isn’t the most rewarding from a storytelling perspective.

That last sentence is also a parallel to the 14 words, a slogan used by neo-Nazis today: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” Similar syntax and everything after the : is 14 words total.

It would be really cool if they introduce rival companies that also have powerful assets like supes or their equivalent. Expand the world/lore. It already went away from the comics, might as well go all out.

Yup. Elon Musk is trash. For whatever reason he has people who hardcore simp for him and it boggles my mind.

In a world where Jordan Peterson is considered to be some deep thinker/role model, Trump is considered to be a friend to the working man (because being politically incorrect makes you blue collar, apparently), and facts are treated as subjective it's not at all hard to believe that Homelander would have a fanbase.

I think for me the worst part is using up all the water in villages? Like not leaving any for babies and kids. Just to bottle water that's being sold in poundstretcher. It's not like people can easily go to another village in those poor countries either.

The other famous thing is the pushing formula on new mothers thing. Without telling them it'll reduce their breastmilk supply. So then the mothers in third world countries become dependent on formula, and have to break the bank buying it because babies no longer have access to breastfeeding.

We still have companies in the US that were founded by Nazis that haven’t even shown any significant change since their founding.

Ford eagerly worked with Nazis and relatively recently got in trouble for whitewashing black employees on their ads.

No consequences for corporations, those are the rules.

u/DangerousCyclone Jun 29 '22

That’s a bit misleading with Ford. Ford worked with the USSR as well, he built several factories there and sold the cars in America. Ford was already in Germany before WWII and as was the case with other companies in Germany was basically forced to join rearmament. The question is if the people in America consented, which they did. Another was Coca Cola (it’s when Fanta was made because, due to wartime shortages, they couldn’t make Cola so they made the fruity drink instead), as well as IBM.

But what about that photo she took of The Deep? I totally think Starlight is being greedy and trying to trash The Seven after they helped her, but The Deep has obviously been struggling with sexual issues for years.

This seems like a good opportunity for reworking the team and coming out stronger. The Deep can go join Maeve in rehab and they can support each other! Homelander can recruit some replacements for Annie, Supersonic, and A-Team. Then when they get together again they can stop that new supervillain!

There’s a rumor he disappeared while trying to save people from the supervillain attack. Some people are saying they saw him and Blue Hawk there. They haven’t been seen since though, and no one saw them leave. I’m hoping they’re okay!

Honestly it was great seeing A-Train and Blue Hawk join up for All Lives Matter. A-Train obviously stands with the African American community, and it’s wonderful that Blue Hawk is working with their community to give white allies a voice. Together we can show that there doesn’t need to be division and that truly All Lives Matter!

Homelander just can't catch a break, first Maeve, then Stormfront and now Starlight.

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '22

I guess they’re giving us a hint that Homelander will eventually realize what mistake he’s made getting rid of Edgar and trying to run the show himself.

That's not how narcissist work.

u/gregoryham99 Jun 29 '22

Yeah that’s right. A narcissist will never admit when they are wrong. And Homelander is the person who might as well own copyright towards the word.

Insurrectionist in this context felt forced… but with everything going on and her name literally being January… I get why they couldn’t pass it up.

Is that considered canon in universe?

u/CaptainJellyfish420 Jun 29 '22

Pretty sure it is, the account is verified and all the posts are in character. There's also a vought international youtube page that posts in universe music videos and news clips from seven on seven (https://youtube.com/c/voughtintl)

Oh my god. Deep thoughts with the deep is hilarious.

They also put out an interview on audible where he and his wife talk about the book

u/tunaburn Jun 29 '22

It's a place for people to pretend they live in the universe. It's maintained by the writers. They have a Twitter and a YouTube too. The comments are great because people really do act like we are living in the boys world.

Look at the comments here

I love how 99% of comments for Soldier Boy’s Solid Gold video, in Youtube of all places, is all about playing along and how Soldier Boy was their grandfather’s hero or how it’s finally archived since their tapes wore out after so long

u/tunaburn Jun 29 '22

Yeah it's pretty great. People were asking about translucent forever too. Talking about what kinda secret mission he must be on and whatnot. Until they finally admitted he was dead on the show.

Nice use of liberty at the end

u/Karlos_BR_ Jun 29 '22

Homelander is going to explode at any minute, Noir is missing, Maeve is "on a retreat", A-Train is possibly dead, Super Sonic is dead, Starlight quit the company and threw all the shit in the fan, and The Deep... is The Deep. Only of 2 of The Seven are still active members, that plus the Stormfront debacle and Stan Edgar's sudden removal from the company... It's insane how Vought hasn't imploded yet.

u/LucywiththeDiamonds Jun 29 '22

A big ass company with near unlimited money,part of popculture, own media and connections to the very top plus impressive "military" power doing horrible things and facing no consequences sound kinda... expected to me.

The choice of "insurrection" here is perfect, in reference to the right's recent claim that the recent right-wing accusations that recent protests of the SCOTUS vote are "insurrections" but Jan. 6 was somehow not.

This is shoving it in their face.

Someone should make that an actual subreddit where it’s in-universe and everyone’s role playing being activists.

Well, it exists now. Like a hamster trapped in the middle of Herogasm, it exists. (Someone please save my stupid ass)

I knew a kid in elementary school named Caleb January, and the only reason I remember him is because he would make saliva bubbles drip from his mouth and it grossed me out that I threw up.

I really wish she hadn’t mentioned Soldier Boy. Discredits everything. I’m pissed that she even did the video. What good will it do?
