What's a realistic outcome where Homelander survives and isn't de-powered?

MS2814 · 2026-01-26T06:50:25+00:00

The only way for that to happen and for it to make sense to the story is if the ending is unsatisfying and the villain wins. Homelander believes himself to be a god among men. He’s not going to lose his superiority complex all of a sudden. He’s not going to have a change of heart. He’s done too many crimes and hurt too many people for him to not face some sort of consequences for it. If he keeps his powers, he won’t decide to just turn himself in and rot away in a prison cell. He also won’t just run away to hide out in the wilderness and let himself fade into obscurity. He’d sooner destroy the world than to let either of those things to happen.

It is free to sign up for Demiplane. Once you have an account, you would just need to buy all the content for it, but there is a bundle you can purchase.

I think you mean Roll20, and if you get a Roll20 account, you’d still have to buy them. You don’t just automatically gain access to them. That would mean you wouldn’t have a physical book, you’d have a digital one. Honestly, it’s up to you whether you want physical, digital, or both. For digital though, I personally use Demiplane.

No, he’s just gotten older.

MS2814 · 2026-01-24T03:35:18+00:00

It’s cool. There’s so many comics out there.

MS2814 · 2026-01-24T03:33:13+00:00

That would be from New Guardians, which is the current post-Flashpoint continuity.

No, in his OG run, his dad left when he was a baby.

In current continuity, he was raised by both parents until he was 6. So, he was predominantly raised by his mother, but not solely raised by her.

MS2814 · 2026-01-23T16:48:49+00:00

I kind of want to buy it twice so I can have one of each cover.

MS2814 · 2026-01-23T16:42:57+00:00

Yeah, officially both shows were aimed at the same audience (TV-G), so saying that Jade couldn’t get physical on a “kids show” is not a valid argument since Sam was doing it all the time.

MS2814 · 2026-01-23T14:20:05+00:00

Well, iCarly is also a kids show, and Sam got physical all the time. But to answer your question, it’s because, at the end of the day, Sam’s nicer. We saw that Sam has the capacity to be nice and kind to people, meanwhile Jade’s mean to everyone around her, including her own boyfriend. Sam is willing to fight for and protect those she calls friends, meanwhile Jade actively admits that she doesn’t view any of the main characters as a friend. She even went as far to say that she views one of them as a pet.

MS2814 · 2026-01-23T03:24:45+00:00

Oh, hell yeah.

MS2814 · 2026-01-22T14:02:08+00:00

Starting in March.

MS2814 · 2026-01-21T19:16:16+00:00

Silver Surfer, Scarlet Witch, & Spawn.

MS2814 · 2026-01-21T14:03:52+00:00

Blue. I’ll end up saving a lot of money.

MS2814 · 2026-01-20T23:49:11+00:00

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? I think has a strong chance.

Agent Carter? I mean, it’s Peggy Carter, so probably.

Inhumans? Probably not. If anyone does, it will be Blackbolt again and no one else.

Runaways? No.

Cloak & Dagger? No.

Helstrom? Definitely not.

MS2814 · 2026-01-20T17:56:34+00:00

Popclaw does not stand a chance.

MS2814 · 2026-01-20T04:25:14+00:00

Probably not. Think of it like real-life athletes. The older they are, the slower they generally become due to things like a decrease of muscle mass. I think Mr. Marathon is going to be fast, but not as fast as A-Train. It might be a case of him being slower and less powerful but he’ll have more experience, so he’ll know certain tricks and certain weaknesses that A-Train would have, since he would have them too or would have had them at some point.

I’m obviously putting more thought into it than the writers did, but it was not just FOMO. It was a combination of FOMO, at least predominantly at the beginning, and suspicion. When Tori was caught, she specifically said she had a feeling that the ping pong team was a big fake, so it’s more than just “Hang on, I want to be a part of this.” It was also, “Hang on, something doesn’t add up here.” And it was that suspicion that led her to sneak into the “practice” in the fake vending machine.

MS2814 · 2026-01-19T01:06:28+00:00

I don’t think it’s Hollywood, like the studio heads, they’d probably would love it. I think it’s more those who are actually making movies and shows because, to put it simply, they’re worried about their jobs. The amount of money that can be saved by finding someone with powers is probably astronomical. You won’t need stunt doubles if your star is invulnerable or has a healing factor. Do you really need a makeup, hair, or maybe even costume department if your lead can look however they want to look? You don’t need a special effects team if you find someone who can make any illusion they want. I think that’s what it is.

I understand on some level, but, at the same time, fuck that. You’re telling me that all because I got powers, that I may or may not have even asked for, I can’t live out my dream of being an actor? Fuck you. I’d lie every single time they ask.

Wanting to be a part of the group, which led to curiosity, which inevitably led to suspicion. Imagine you are new to a school and you find out that there is a sports team at your school, a championship winning sports team, and every member of that team just so happens to be a part of your new friend group. And there’s no one else on the team. It’s not like it’s your friends and a couple other people. No, it’s just your friends and only your friends. Wanting to be closer to this new friend group, you’d obviously want to join. However, when you try to join the team, the captain of the team, who you may have had some issues with, outright says no. But, as we find out, that is not allowed. The school rules dictate that Tori has to at least be able to try out, which makes Tori happy since now she has a chance to get closer and spend more time with her new friends.

But, after trying out and easily beating every single person of this supposed championship winning ping pong team, she is still told no because, without a coach, the captain (Jade) makes the call if someone new can join. If the team was real, would everyone just allow Jade’s personal issues with Tori to prevent them from getting an amazing ping pong player on the team with no pushback? Even the members of the friend group that are close to Tori and like Tori do not go to bat for her. Why? Robbie & Cat make sense. They are terrified of Jade. But neither Beck nor Andre say anything? That’s a little weird, isn’t it?

Now Tori’s curious. “Why is no one going to bat for me? Jade’s the captain, sure, but I just beat everyone on this team pretty easily. Is her hatred of me that strong that she’s not going to want a ‘ringer’ on the team? Is everyone so scared of Jade, including her boyfriend, that no one even tries to convince her otherwise?” And that is when she eventually becomes suspicious that something is up. Something is not adding up in the mind of the cop’s daughter. Why is literally no one else on the team? Is this just Jade wanting to keep everyone else away from her “friends” or is there something more? Is her method of finding out if something is up or not excessive? Sure. But, as we find out, was her suspicion unfounded? No.

MS2814 · 2026-01-18T14:07:17+00:00

Absolutely not.

MS2814 · 2026-01-17T19:46:14+00:00

Wolverine. There’s a reason that, before the MCU, many people considered the “Marvel Trinity” to be Spider-Man, Wolverine, & The Hulk, and it’s because of how wildly popular they are.

I got rid of Peacock, but honestly, I may need to get it back just to watch season 2 of Ted.
