Yeah, because Godolkin and Sage thought differently about their motivations.
She can't. Literally on TV with Homelander, her face is plastered everywhere. She is one of Homelander's biggest associates, she will be on the top of the list to kill.
True but you aren't taking the instant kill virus into account. There won't be a war.
The show built Homelander up as the ultimate threat. Someone who the Boys couldn't kill pretty much no matter what. Someone who every single Supe in the world was terrified of, because he'd kill them all easily. Someone who'd require months to even years of planning to develop any sort of method, which eventually cultivated in them needing to create a virus so strong it would wipe out every other Supe, possibly even all humans on the planet.
I mean even if they can knock him out it's not like they can kill him
You realize, the moment he gets knocked out in this episode, Soldier Boy could've killed him, right? They said that, verbatim.
They could put him in the box soldier boy was. Constantly inhaling Novichok will eventually kill him from Oxygen depravation.
He never reacted once, at best he anticipated/predicted Marathon's next move (which wouldn't be hard, dude runs only in straight lines lmao). And if we argue reactions, then upgrade the whole verse, because normal humans could react to him running at them and scream (/s)
Yeah, I would've preferred if the gas failed. Then again we wouldn't have had an scene as "funny" (it was only mildly entertaining for me) if Homelander lasered them all (because that's priority, apparently).
bro your profile picture
Brilliant pfp
This is quite interesting as to whether they decide to do it or not.
If she builds a bunker in the middle of nowhere of the books and camouflaged or hidden from any surveillance, I don't think any army is finding her. Add to this that most Supes are American. The fighting would be heavily centered around the Europe, Eurasia and America. She could probably build her bunker somewhere in Africa on a remote island.
Whose gonna build the bunker again ? Yeah humans. The service providers will also be humans.
You're saying it devalues Homelander as a threat, but it actually grounds the world and makes it more sensible in the narrative. Ironically enough, you are looking at Homelander the way Vought wants you too. Homelander being called the strongest has the same flavor as Russia being considered a top 3 military, and yet we've seen them getting kicked by Ukraine (albeit with US/NATO support). Who would've guessed this outcome years before the war?
Forgot to factor in the round trip.
you gotta prove this like you swear your name to jesus for this one chief
Lmao, I know a losing battle when I see one.
First real MHS feat only to be immediately shown to be an outlier in the next scene is crazyOk, so is no-one gonna mention the massively hypersonic speed feat Mr Marathon pulled?
"I scooped this up from Bogotá while you were taking a piss."
Hell no. Bro was struggling
I doubt even The Seven would hire someone who couldn't, because that's a massive liability. It's also worth noting that A) A-Train exploded Robin when the distance was much greater, and B) Marathon snorted a boat load of cocaine earlier and wasn't expecting a fight. So I think Marathon was sloppy and couldn't fully decelerate over such a short distance, like A-Train, rather than him not being able to react to his own speed.
worse than mach 3 jjk?Yeah nah Marathon blatantly can’t react to his own speed this verses speed scaling is cooked
Unironically yeah maybe
And perhaps consistent with The Deep and A-Train who can cover the U.S.A - France distance in a short time (this is also an additional justification for A-Train's Water Running/Free Movement).
That doesn't make sense ngl, because it would mean he'd run over someone almost every time he ran somewhere (unless he had supernatural luck and no one was ever in his way).
That could also be a good explanation.
Why we acting like he wasn’t high and drunk?Yeah nah Marathon blatantly can’t react to his own speed this verses speed scaling is cooked
371 m/s with the Compound-V boost, without it, it's 339 m/s.
We're not talking about his level of speed with the addict stuff, we're talking about whether he can react to his level of speed. My argument is that he didn't have enough room to decelerate, and drugs would make it more difficult.
Yeah nah Marathon blatantly can’t react to his own speed this verses speed scaling is cooked
These writers lowkey hate Homelander
I've heard somewhere that 371m/s could have just been his average speed in what seems like a 400 meter track. It would make sense as to why his top speed would be higher.
