Guessing Stormfront is part of this 'inside coup' at Vought referenced by the CIA lady just before her head exploded? Was wondering why anyone would ok her to be in the 7. Would mean Gus Fring is in on it too seeing as he brought her onboard.

I'm guessing Stormfront is the racist white character written in to get in on the woke act. I mean the answer is there in her name.

We got the racist white person, the now openly gay person, the story about an oppressed black person all in a few short eps.

Liberal writers have to tick all the boxes on their checklists when telling a story.

Only problem with your theory is that the character existed in the comics before woke culture was a thing

Only problem is Stormfront is a guy in the comics. Woke culture existed before the comics, it was just called virtue signalling then.

And given Kripke has come out and said a lot ties into today's real world happenings it's an easy vehicle for him to virtue signal through.

Time will tell how partisan the show goes with its underlying subtext.

Um virtue signalling is a very new term. its orgin only dates back about 5-7 years let alone its common usage.

What is virtue signalling? Meaning, origin and examples – here’s all you need to know

A NEW phrase has slowly been creeping its way into everyday lexicon and newspaper articles without many people realising it – virtue signalling. The term refers to making a statement or performing …

Umm the conspicuous and disingenuous expression of moral values with the intent to enhance one's own image has been around for thousands of years.

Sometimes stories are just stories. And I would say they're allowed to touch on modern themes and current events without everything being labelled as some kind of woke conspiracy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway can we not clog up the thread with this s**t, go for your life here instead -> https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/left-wing-agenda-in-cinema-tv.1225035/

I think it's Homelander specifically not supes in general

Is it biology though? Or just the fact that he usually ends up killing most people he forms relationships with lol

You're annoyed because homophobia and white supremacy are schools of thought you traffic in. You call everything non-white, non-heteronormative "woke"/"agenda".

Nah it's a biology thing going to have to go back to season one and check if I get time

Fine but dont say it was called virtue signalling cos it wasnt. Call it what it was called back in the time you refer to?

I love the concept of the boys. It strikes an eerie realism that let's face it is most likely if superheroes roamed the planet. Greed rules.

Yep, love the big business/corporation aspect.

where's the dog?

Ninja campaigners and Laser ****

 

[Dan Moody]

Reckon this episode redeemed the series after the Homelander doppleganger disaster.
Imagine knowing that Black Noir was outside your house, knowing that you were home and just prowling and hunting you, knowing that no matter what you do you're ****ed anyway.

 

[glenferry23]

Holy s**t, that was great.

So many quotable lines. “This Joss rewrite” was ******* gold

And that last minute or two. “Don’t be a pussy. Just laser my ******* ****”. Sensational stuff.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

best ep of the season so far.

 

[NSWCROW]

Here's the " Blind Wave " series watch-along/review-type thingy

 

[glenferry23]

The rally scene outside Vought was great, Homelander doubling down on his excuses. Genuinely thought for a moment that he did laser them out, that fooled me.

Might be a glimpse of things to come down the track if/when he loses his s**t.

 

[drd23]

Much better episode. Good mix of action and character building/plot development for probably the first time this season

 

[vast]

The last 2 eps have been alot better.

They should kill of Hughie. They are struggling to find ways to make him relevant. Oh he looks like Bills dead brother. Cmon.
Lame character. Would rather MM be the every man of the show he is far more relatable.

 

[glenferry23]

The only arc I’m not really enjoying that much this season is The Deep’s. Obviously though he’ll have a big part to play later on (in the plot to take down Homelander?) given the screentime he’s receiving so far.

The Scientology stuff is amusing, I wonder if it’s a bit of a pisstake at Tom Cruise etc.

 

[Beerfish]

I've enjoyed it all. Not sure what people are on about with the show redeeming itself etc.

Homelander is just one seriously bad day away from the mother of all killing sprees - though I can see the Boys having to team up with him to take down Stormfront (assuming that even happens now, after the events of the last episode).
