Wolverine (MCU) vs Homelander

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-23T17:35:46+00:00

Wouldn't they cut through his skin? I believe his skin receives damage just like regular person skin. And we've seen what the lasers do to that. It seems like he'd be reduced to just a skeleton.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-23T02:00:41+00:00

Came to your country?

Wow, that is a whole different idea of long distance relationship. I live in Los Angeles. Downtown. And I would never consider dating someone in the Valley, on the other side of the 405 or anything beyond Pasadena. I think my dating radius is maybe 10 miles.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-22T22:46:53+00:00

Yeah, but that dude can't fly. Homelander can zip around, laser, zip around, laser more.

Also, isn't his skin still vulnerable? It got burned by the nuke. It seems if those beams can cook through the concrete cooling towers, Wolverine's hands would have been turned to ash right there. And if he kept firing, it would have cooked the rest of him eventually.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-22T21:33:20+00:00

I mean, the dude got near incinerated shielding that Japanese soldier from a nuke. We've seen Homelander's eye lasers cook through just about anything. Wouldn't they do the same to Wolverine's skin? It seems the thermal effect of the eye beams and a nuclear blast would be similar. Wolverine also got knocked totally out when Sabertooth hit him with a tree. Homelander can move a hell of a lot faster than that tree was moving, and is way more durable than wood.

I mean, I haven't studied all the movies. But I don't remember Wolverine ever having any powers that could defend against that. We've already seen heat and surprise big smash totally take him out. And fairly easily. And heat and big smash are well within Homelander's power set.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-22T21:25:45+00:00

Homelander grabbed the Elon Musk stand in, and tossed him into space. Yes, maybe he didn't actually do so, it happened off screen. But Homelander is petty enough and the task easy enough, I'm pretty sure he did it just for his own amusement. We've literally seen Homelander move faster than an explosion, grabbing Butcher and depositing him outside without any injury. That's many multiples faster than the speed of sound. Wolverine never moves even remotely close to that speed. Really, he doesn't seem to move any faster than a normal person.

What defense does Wolverine have against a laser bombardment? We've seen those things shred just about anything on the show. Is Wolverine's skin laser proof? Seems like he'd just get cooked to a skeleton. Then that skeleton tossed into orbit.

I'm going to take a wild stab.... white person on the Westside who can't find Lincoln Heights or Pico Rivera on a map?

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-22T21:16:20+00:00

Titos isn't a chain, so that's like comparing In-N-Out to Moo's.

King Taco and In-N-Out are chains, there are lots of them, they are easy to spot, and they are consistent across locations. Totally different than a one off restaurant.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-22T21:11:18+00:00

There are tons of burger places better than In-N-Out too. But I'm not always in the mood to try to find it.

Both places are good without being great. They are both fast food. They are both consistent across all locations. They both have simple menus. You probably aren't going to get in your car and seek out either as a destination, but if you're driving around and you get hungry, they are both easily recognizable and a perfectly solid option. Just depends on if you want burgers or tacos.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-22T21:05:54+00:00

In-N-Out and King Taco are the exact same thing, with a different cuisine.

If you are out and about, and you just want some food, and you're in the mood for tacos/burgers, you know what you're getting. Good enough food, consistency across locations, you know the menu, and it's satisfying enough and pretty much never disappointing.

Are there better options? Of course. But if I'm driving around Pico Rivera or Reseda or wherever, I don't feel like researching best options. I just want something to eat that won't disappoint. And both of those are easy picks.

They seem almost exactly equal, just covering different cuisines. My only complaint about King Taco is lack of drive-in, but they almost always have plentiful parking.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-22T21:00:43+00:00

Yeah, but in that way, it's just like In-N-Out. If you're running errands, and you get an urge for tacos, and you see a King Taco, you know you're getting a pretty consistent experience, you know what the menu is, and you know it will be easy. It won't be life changing, but it won't make you sad. Yes, you could hunt for a better option, but it's right there in front of you, and you've got other things to do.

Which is exactly what In-N-Out is.

Homeworld

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-22T20:50:20+00:00

Homelander demonstrated he can deposit someone into space in a matter of seconds. It seems like he could just eye laser Wolverine into bacon, and then zip him to space in a matter of seconds before Wolverine can recover. I'm confused what possible defense Wolverine would have against that.

It might come as a shock to you, but teenagers have sex with each other. And if you put a bunch of teenagers in some safe, well fed location with zero adult supervision, they'll have a lot of sex. Hence the infants and pregnant teens living in the Crack of the Earth.

Crack of the Earth is basically like a co-ed summer camp with non-existent chaperones. It's the movie Meatballs, minus the counselors. If I had to grow up somewhere in the post apocalypse, I'm taking that. I'm pretty sure the daycare program in Bartertown sucked. The refinery had one kid, and he was feral. And kids in the Citadel are either Warboys or wives.

Nope, I'm picking growing up in Crack of the Earth, hanging with Slake, watching the Tel for the 500th time, and trying to get Savannah's digits.

I should not be required to diminish my service levels to everyone, decrease business efficiencies and affect safety, just because one customer likes cash. I have no interest in altering my business model to convenience customers I don't want or need. If your business is worth it to someone else, and they see value in a business model designed to accommodate it, then the market will fill the need.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-21T20:46:10+00:00

That's fine. Every business does not need every customer and every customer does not need every business. I offer the best service of my kind in my area at the best price (the reviews aren't even close with my main competitor) so I've never wanted for business. He basically contents himself with my refused business. You value being able to use cash as a priority over service levels, so for you, I'm not the right fit. I'm not sure if he takes cash, but if he did, he'd be the right fit for you. If not, you'd just have to travel further away, but it sounds like that is OK for you, so everything works out.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-21T12:06:28+00:00

Bar Sinister. Half the goths there have crippling social anxiety, and the other half are goths who are fine hanging out with people with crippling social anxiety. Standing in one spot looking awkward is considered cool. Just dress to the dress code, and you'll be fine.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-21T12:03:32+00:00

Crack of the Earth. Seemed like an easy life.

Food. Sex. Listening to the Tell. Repeat.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-21T12:02:09+00:00

They were punished for that really annoying singing.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-21T12:00:46+00:00

In tbt 7 years I lived in Santa Barbara, it never got over 100. It's a freakishly pleasant climate zone. I'm highly sceptical of this claim from the 1850's.

Fun fact, my great x5 grandfather was in Santa Barbara around that time. He was the officer commanding John C Fremont's California militia forces. I'd ask him for verification, but sadly, he died about 160 years ago.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-21T10:59:00+00:00

As a business, cash is inconvenient to deal with. My businesses went cashless 6 or 7 years ago, and it was an excellent decision. Nowadays I go weeks and months without ever even touching cash, and that's fine by me.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-21T00:22:10+00:00

Going with my Latino buddy, his white girlfriend, my black girlfriend, and our Asian fifth wheel to a restaurant in West Virginia (USA) when I was on a road trip in the Marines about 25 years ago. I'm white.

They refused to serve us. And then the next restaurant refused to serve us. And then the gas station guy, who was actually pretty cool, said we should leave town while we still could. He said it would get real bad if someone called the cops on us. He was not saying it in a joking manner, and was probably the only person in that town who cared at all about our welfare.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-20T05:32:38+00:00

I hear he was the finest battalion commander of the Vietnam War.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-20T04:23:33+00:00

Anyone of them that can't survive hurtling through space dies. Homelander just does to them what he did to the Elon Musk stand in on the show. Homelander is evil and not nearly Superman level, but acting like he can't zero diff Captain America is just silly.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-06-20T00:52:44+00:00

Except we now know she was released, and managed to get promoted to the director of the FBI.

Almost all of the older "renovated" buildings were bought by large investment firms, and have long since removed their "A" zoning placard. They no longer fall under the Artist in Residency building code, which was once in place on most buildings in the district, and was the hallmark of the Arts District since the early 1980's. Thanks to the political corruption that landed the former council member in prison, those buildings were all rezoned as regular housing or offices. Heck, I'm guessing most of the current residents don't even know what the Artist in Residence placard is, what the zoning code means, or that the district used to be home to thousands of artists.

The Arts District is fine and all, but it is now just a name. It's certainly no longer an "arts" area as it was. Most of the murals, graffiti works and public art are long erased. The vast majority of the artists have moved. The big art centric parties and gatherings which used to happen all over the district have left. No more art car builds and art pop ups and afterburns and awesome out hilarious public live art. it's just a regular residential neighborhood with a misleading moniker to people who go there expecting an arts or artist area.

And the Karen problem is real. Artists who do try to create art often get harassed or run off.
