A Train was an awful person in s1, but was surprisingly likeable in s2. He was one of the only characters that was believable in his ambitions and called out bullshit whenever he saw it. Im glad he is back in.

Maeve is also turning out to be a great character IMO. She is acting the way me, and many other people do when they face turmoil in their life. With reckless abandon, but yet when they have that other person they covet in their life, they rise to the occasion and become the best version of their self. Outside of that, and Homelander who continues to carry the show, there was just a lot to be desired. The Boys turned into The Girls basically. next season they will learn from their mistakes I hope.

Season 1 was quality. They still can draw on the comics to guide them. All they need to do is nix the SJW shit, get back to basics, and make the supe powers believable and consequences of their use more impactful to the world and characters in it.

I dont know. Maybe money? Viewership? Feedback?

If they do crank up SJW shit, then I hope there isnt a s4.

I don't remember if the comics ever really addressed the stupidity of having those powers, and then using them to "fight crime" or even joining the military. The major plot point was military spending, and yes Voight trying to get juicy government contracts. That was their justification. But, voight did cut a shit ton of people loose, and have B, C and D super hero teams..
not many comics about getting super powers and using them in a Capitalist function.

Like yeah, Logically, the Deep would be a rich mother fucker from Deep sea oil drilling, or as a crab fisherman magnet. Collecting lost pirate treasure.. grants from government to matchmake endangered marine life, etc, etc. theres a fortune to be made in the sea we can't do as humans.
lulz its absurd that the only time you see the deep use any superpowers is to carry someone cuz hes one of the few that can fly.

so I guess people thought Stormfront was dead? I mean I guess can see it if people wanted to believe Vought (via Homelander) was lying about her being in the hospital but it seemed kinda obvious she lived just got Skywalker'd

yea especially with starlight and a train back in the 7, they'll make the discovery

Yeah I never thought she was dead, I figured she was comic lamplighter'ed after we talked about it a few pages back.

Definitely not excited about the next season.

Season 1 was a fresh take on superheroes, season 2 was a hot mess.

The sjw stuff was laughably bad and a lot of character reactions felt incredibly forced whenever any of that stuff came up.

In the last episode when they showed the little animation of stormfront marching down the street and then getting hit by a car, hughie says "that's catchy" while I am thinking, even in an alternate reality the left can't meme.

It will take some next level shenanigans and solid plot hooks to make me consider watching season 3.

I dunno, I guess for me if the SJW stuff was so out of control they’d continue to beat on The Deep in the press and publicly shame him and would make his story suck and he’s been downright funny and entertaining.

Does it exists? for sure but for me it’s not in levels that are so insane that they bother me.

This is just the old farts seeing current politics in media, taking snowflakey offensive, and misusing the term SJW. Just classic FOH Boomer shit.

Remember when the crowd-loved, leftist minority WOMAN Senator was an inside shill for the giant evil corporation? SOOO SJW DUDE!

I said nothing of what role he fills in the show, I said that the media in the show would still attack him and he would still be disgraced. They would be pounding home to you, the viewer, he was a sexual assumed non stop.

he’s hasn’t been those things for awhile and he’s been funny and entertaining while doing it.

Well you're a fucking retard if that's your expectation.
