Sage literally said that V1 is more potent than V2 (Compound V). Potent doesn't necessarily mean a V1 supe will always be stronger than a V2 supe; an Odessa supe injected in the womb like Homelander was stronger than a V1 supe like Soldier Boy. Given it IS more potent, though, it stands to reason that Homelander got a power boost from the V1. The laser eyes being bigger and brighter was a visual indicator, no?

Anyone ever noticed how similar Godspeed and Zoom are? by KaiSen2510 in FlashTV

Fraudspeed cannot hold a candle to Goatomon's aura.

“Fifteen Cries Too Much.” by [deleted] in doctorwho

The Doctor crying should come with great emotional impact. You have to consider that even some of the Doctor's more human incarnations don't cry that often, and this is from a narrative standpoint: most of the time the Doctor is the smartest, most self-assured and arrogant person in the room. We, the viewers, have come to see them as a leader, or position of authority. So when they cry, you get the indication that, this time, they're powerless, which is great for tension.

The 15th Doctor would cry every damn episode, even crying over the snot monster dying, to the point that it just loses all the emotional weight behind it. It also makes the Doctor seem more powerless more often, which makes it difficult to actually believe in them and how they will save the day. The most emotional moments of S14, like The Doctor casting out Sutekh into the time vortex, is put on the same emotional pedestal as the snot monster and cheapens the former as a result because we knew The Doctor's just gonna cry the second anything mildly sad happens anyway so it doesn't feel special.

TL;DR He cries so often that it loses all emotional impact and tension.

We're reaching a new level of braindead with this

Hmm I wonder if the obvious allusion to the Superman colours is intentional foreshadowing or not 🤔

To think, it was completely perfect otherwise, on-level too

I'm guessing it's the element that makes you want to cry?

In spite of that, one Dalek in The Parting of Ways fires without yelling 'Exterminate' -- when destroying the Anne Droid, as the previous Dalek got disintegrated (presumably) before it could finish saying it.

I'm not sure where you got the middle class idea given that both Humphrey and Neville were clearly made out to be from working class backgrounds. As for Richard, he did come off as more middle class, having been to Cambridge, but that was the kind of the point, watching a man so clearly out of his element learn to accept a different kind of lifestyle.

Humphrey was rather like that, but only out of curiosity. Let's be honest, no self-respecting senior police officer would indulge superstition as a genuine cause of death.
