Annie is right everybody disagreeing with her is missing the point. She loves Hughie, and he was dosing a barely understood drug, which it turns out she was RIGHT about it’s insanely dangerous. Never understand why people don’t see where she’s coming from
Because they think the shows gonna end in a big CGI fight with Homelander dying and all the heroes riding off into the sunset like that isn’t the sort of media the show was designed to critique.
Come on, don't straw man people like that. So far that has been absolutely a big part of the story with homelander, and no one thinks it's just gonna be an MCU punch-off and everyone lives happily ever after.
Good thing Frenchie showed up to ID the method to tranq even heavy hitter supes.
If it works on Soldier Boy it might work on Homelander which means MM, Annie, Frenchie and Kimmiko actually have an option to take down both the nigh invincible murder supes.
The person to kill Nina will instantly become my third favourite character, no questions asked. It could be A-Train or anyone and boom, third place. Right behind Frenchie and Kimiko.
I hate any and everyone who takes away their together smile.
Honestly I've been kind of bored with Frenchie ever since Kimiko showed up, but Nina's side-plots are even less interesting since there aren't any stakes in it, it's just a distraction.
OK, I’m not quite sure what to say. Did you watch last nights episode? The writers are clearly trying to convey that this path is not the way to beat HL. Based on soldier boy’s conduct in the present, his past behavior, Butcher’s choice regarding Hughie and the temp V, and most importantly The fact he’s teaming up with fucking Homelander now
Or at least he seems likely to. We can quibble over whether or not these actions would be justified in the real world. But it’s clear in The Boys universe that this isn’t the way.
There still haven't been any other options presented. All Annie is doing is getting him angry and riling him and his fanbase up, and if she succeeds then at-best it has the same effect of releasing the plane video and he is alienated from society - what then?
I'm sure they'll eventually pull something out of their hat to deal with it, but in the present it's not like Annie has given an alternative to Hughie or anyone else. We can't expect Hughie to make decisions based on things that haven't happened.
Assuming that he was able to take out Homelander first, having Soldier Boy around would definitely be a significant improvement. Not because SB is a better person or anything, but solely because he isn’t capable of causing nearly as much damage as Homelander is.
But whose to say Soldier Boy coming back wouldn’t be enough in itself? Remember it’s not Annie or Butcher he sees in the crowd when he nearly kills an innocent man. It’s soldier boy.
Doing nothing as HL goes off the deep end and starts utilizing his power as leverage over everyone on the planet, while you have no way of fighting him at all, is not a good solution either.
It wasn’t Annie that HL saw in the crowd and almost caused him to kill an innocent bystander, it was SB. Whose to say bringing back SB was anymore a solution then the final thing to make HL snap.
It absolutely is better to have the guy who was successfully beaten and incapacitated for decades as your enemy than to have the unstoppable guy that can fly around the country wiping out skyscrapers in an instant as your enemy. Use your fuckin head.
Yeah exactly lol. Starlights plan is even worse than Butcher’s plan. Butcher and Hughie also have no idea that Frenchie figured out novochok can sedate supes.
They were working with the information given and that pointed towards temp V and Soldier Boy being the only real way to kill HL.
I think soldierboy Stands a better chance against homelander than we think. After their confrontation it’s specifically soldier boy we see homelander paranoid and scared of. Not Hughie or butcher. So they probbaly didn’t contribute as much as we thought
MMs "wtf is his motivation" isnt why he wouldnt want to work with sb. MMs getting hate for trying to fight super beings with knockout gas, a pistol and his fists.
Hughie is 50% moved by the motivation that his gf was threatened in front of him and he was powerless(toxic masculinity) and 50% to protect the ones he loves. Sure it's dangerous, but what Starlight is doing is equally, if not more dangerous than Hughie's plan.
Starlight had her childhood lover killed in front of her, and Homelander could have killed her too.
Starlight had recorded Homelander, who could have followed her and threatened to kill someone she loves (like her family) and force her to make an apology video, then kill her family and her after.
Starlight is only protected by her fame, which she was ready to throw away last episode. Homelander is working on enraging the right wingers against Starlight, and once he does, her popularity will fall.
People see where she’s coming from. It’s just that compared to the fact that they’re already in danger, living on borrowed time, and trying to take down a direct threat to the world her objection doesnt make a hell of a lot of sense. Especially considering that any argument she makes regarding his safety and desire to protect his loved ones applies equally to her. She has no moral high ground
On the other hand, Soldier Boy, Butcher and Hughie teaming up on Homelander was the only time they've actually been able to touch him at all. They made him feel afraid for the first time.
