You know, I didn't mind them.

What upset me was how he was treated - being shipped off to Ohio and basically raped.

It was wrong. He has a good heart and fcking Homelander killed thousands directly on screen with not so much as a slap on the wrist.

I don't know why the Deep wasn't based in Hawaii or California in the FIRST place. I mean it would make sense from a PR standpoint and the usefulness of his powers. He could have been patrolling the Pacific with the U.S. fleet???


The Deep sexually assaulted Starlight and it was implied other women would come forward.


And Homelander physically raped someone for three hours and fathered a child...which is worse?

As far as I can tell the Deep flashed Starlight and emotionally manipulated her into giving him head. She's much more powerful than him and was too naive to fight him off.

I'd say Homelander's actions were worse.


I'm not so sure he did. Homelander said it was consensual, and while he lies when it comes to work, he believes in honesty when it's personal. Otherwise he would have just killed Butcher instead of taking him to his wife, who will tell him the truth.


Are you kidding me? She went from meeting him at a party once to screwing him at the first work meeting for her job. No. She looked shocked, scared, and tousled when she stumbled out of that room after three hours. A consenting encounter with a man would at least involve a man she felt comfortable straight her clothes and hair with after a marathon round of sex.

Her shoe was off her foot, her silk blouse was unbuttoned and untucked, her hair was a mess, and her makeup was messed. She was a career woman and not stupid enough to look like that in the middle of the day.

Homelander also lied on national television about that plane going down too.


I don’t see Homelander as the type who hurts people for fun. He paradoxically sees people merely as objects- he gets neither pleasure from helping nor hurting them because they are beneath him- but also desperately wants their admiration. He wants to be seen as the hero who saves civilians and saves Vought, and will hurt people to achieve those ends. Rape wouldn’t do anything for him because it doesn’t give him that ego boost. It’s more likely they worked together, she was attracted to him and gave in, then afterwards realized what a terrible thing she’d done. Honelander brought Butcher to see his wife in order to clear his name since rape doesn’t fit with the hero image, and because he hates lying when it’s about or to him.


Did you completely miss the scene at the race when he is basically grabbing Maeve’s face because he wants to coerce her into getting back together?

Yes, there's also the fact that he's a callous psychopath.

There are all kinds of serial killers - some who take sexual pleasure in demeaning/assaulting people, and others who simply think of it as a way to provide redemption for sinners like female sex workers or women who won't sleep with them.

Homelander falls into the latter category. He is vicious, unfeeling, manipulative, and cold. The worst predator.

PP here, and yes, that’s exactly it. He has a history with Maeve and knows how far he can push her, but he wouldn’t actually force her, even though he physically can. It’s an ego thing for him, and it doesn’t help his ego if he forces a woman into sex.

I think next season he’s going to try to play the family man in an attempt to heal his childhood wounds- he didn’t get familial love as a child so he’ll try as a father- and he will go berserk when it doesn’t work out.

I'm curious as to how Becca Butcher will handle him...if at all.

Her son is clearly Homelander duplicated - so he has the same powers and he already idolizes him. Will Homelander live up to that?

Will Becca let her son be enraptured by him? She obviously didn't teach him to be wary of superheroes.

It was wrong. He has a good heart

Um, that was the point -- he sexually assaulted women and then it happened to him.

I get that. But A-Train ran through a poor woman, Homelander killed a plane load of people, and stretch boy is a homophobic hypocrite.

It would be just as bad if they shut Starlight up in a windowless cave with no access to light for the rest of her light. Putting him in flyover with no water access just seemed wrong.

Not to mention deeply stupid as they could have used his talents elsewhere.

He does have water access, he’s by Lake Erie.

They didn’t put him out there because he did something they thought was immoral, they put him out there because he became a liability to the company. They could cover up the plane; they can’t cover up him stealing a dolphin from a corporation that paid a lot of money to have his endorsement.

Didn't he roll his eyes at its mention?

He's called 'The Deep'. Meaning he can dive as deep as the Marina Trench. Lake Erie is a pond.

He can swim and talk to fish. With modern diving and sonar equipment, those aren’t very useful skills.

He stole a single dolphin from SEAWORLD omg, marshal the troops.

Please. Maybe if he had conjured a wave to drown an entire town - sure. Seaworld lost one of half a dozen trained aquatic rats? No.

He still gets water. He’s still getting paid, free to do what he wants, and even gets per diem.

If he doesn’t like it he can quit the 7 and life his life elsewhere.

The only possible argument against his transfer is that those gills are punishment enough.

The sexual assaulter can talk to the bass in the Sandusky River.

The dolphin died as a direct result of his actions.

Also, I think he’s been having sex with aquatic mammals.

Modern diving and sonar equipment is pretty useless. Human divers can only go so far down and are mostly used for recovering dead bodies.

As for our sonar equipment? The less said the better. Anything not in the hands of the military is useless. It took them 16 months to find the wreckage of Air France Flight 447 when they had clear flight tracking data and knew exactly where it went down.

They still haven't found Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.
