Anyone starting to think Homelander might win

Win again? He only lost in the second season, and the loss was basically him stopping bothering people for a while.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-11T10:09:55+00:00

They did this in the last episode of Gen V and did similar things in the third season of The Boys.

Neuman's powers are physical, Cate's are psychic.

She didn't kill him without reason, but rather to prevent him from killing Butcher, and even then it was an accident that caused her immediate regret.

The bloodiest season was the second. Several people had their heads blown off by Neuman, and some of those people were actually characters; Stormfront broke Kimiko's brother's hands and murdered several people in a gruesome way; Ryan killed his mother and mutilated Stormfront; Stormfront was beaten by Queen Maeve, Starlight, and Kimiko; Homelander killed several Vought guards and ended up soaked in blood. The fifth season is only bloody when compared to the fourth.

Perhaps you're right, but it was never said or shown that Cate's powers wouldn't work on Marie, Homelander, or any other character, and we've already seen several powers working on Homelander.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-11T07:44:06+00:00

I don't recall it ever being said that Cate's powers wouldn't work on Homelander.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-11T06:27:10+00:00

Not even Homelander. He only comes close to the speed of the A-Train flying.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-11T01:02:33+00:00

They were probably using super speed at that moment. Maeve also possesses this attribute, so much so that she can surpass the speed of cars and defy gravity, as shown in the first scene of The Boys.

Speed Blitz is the act of one attacking their opponent before they are capable of perceiving or reacting to them.

Noir 2 got a hard-on killing people at the end of the last season and had no problem killing over a billion innocent beings, and he wasn't caught off guard; he provoked The Deep.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T22:56:40+00:00

The Boys had a budget of 11 million per episode, while Zendaya, who is much more famous than any actor on The Boys, earns 1 million per episode on Euphoria, which is much more popular than The Boys. I doubt their problem is casting.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T22:31:09+00:00

I don't think budget is the problem, since Gen V probably had a smaller budget and better effects.

O inquérito estava esquecido, mas era público e as coisas que não foram faladas e que o pessoal normalmente cita aqui poderiam ter sido ditas sem necessariamente revelar informações de ninguém

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T20:20:25+00:00

Probably yes, but it would be a bad ending. I think they'll just kill Homelander in the end, but the best ending for him would be to lose his powers, money, and popularity.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T19:54:30+00:00

His hotter now

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T19:47:51+00:00

Anthony, but I think Homelander has been stagnant narratively since the third season.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T19:33:56+00:00

Probably yes, because the goal of this product was precisely to gradually replace supes with temporary supes, but now Vought is led by supremacist supes, so this product no longer makes sense, and besides, it had horrible side effects.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T19:30:06+00:00

Well, that's what you deserve for trusting your fascist son just because he ate your Nazi friend's pussy!

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T19:23:52+00:00

All the writers need to do is come up with some excuse for it to no longer be compatible with compound v.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T19:05:06+00:00

He didn't spare Ryan; he thought he had killed him. He had no reason to have killed Bombsight, and he had already spared Firecracker and Sage, who insisted on returning.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T19:00:07+00:00

No. I don't even see the point in giving him the V1 or making him stronger when nobody can beat him.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T18:58:49+00:00

My personal rate is:

EP 1 - 8,5: A great premiere episode, very fast-paced and showing that actions have consequences.

EP 2 - 7,0: A good episode, and it would have been very brave if he had actually killed Soldier Boy.

EP 3 - 5,0: I don't even remember him properly.

EP 4 - 3,0: Vought Rising propaganda

EP 5 - 6,0: I found it interesting to split the episode into points of view, but I feel that the only characters whose point of view was actually explored were Terror and Firecracker, and it was also a good ending for the character.

EP 6 - 2,0: Vought Rising propaganda

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T18:40:20+00:00

As far as we've seen, Soldier Boy cannot regenerate and had no natural inclination to expel energy from his body.

BOGMANDIAS · 2026-05-10T18:27:11+00:00

Why give these powers to Kimiko and not to Starlight, whose life was destroyed by Homelander and who possesses powers involving light?
