The Boys discussion thread

The Bombsight thing can be considered an outlier. The fight was never about Butcher nor have anything to do with him and it happened one time
Ig it also helps Butcher wasn't really trying to kill him. Unlike Homelander where he was going all out pretty clearly
 
Yeah exactly.

I honestly feel like Butcher should have had a chance at 1v1ing Bombsight like this. SB is slightly weaker than Homelander and Bombsight was about on par or slightly weaker than SB.
I'd go as far as saing Bombsight is top 2 at this point, he in fact soloed the entirety of The Boys and was putting belt to ass to Soldier Boy, of course he would provably do a somewhat similar performance against homelander like Soldier boy did

At least it's not this shit. I don't know how something can be bland, yet taste like dish soap.
why is it glowing slightly?
I personally think it did, but only for reasons that aren't even very concretely illustrated by the show. I'm honestly not even sure if the writers did intend for a permanent power boost, at this point, and I'd be hesitant about putting it on the profiles.
for what they have shown, it's clear that it's "possibly higher", altho i do firmly belive thay homie is just delusional and he's still as strong as he was prior, and how the lad above suggested it was provably a temporary boost
 
In isolation from everything, I didnt think the finale was terrible. But yeah the scale was quite disappointing to say the least.

Butcher got a random ass upscale from being portrayed as a slightly above average tier supe for basically the entire season to suddenly appearing to be somewhat comparable to Homelander. Sage after being an evil ass "mastermind" for the last 2.5 seasons (Partly counting Gen V) and only switching sides due to convenience gets to walk away with zero consequence. And Marie who was hyped up as a relevant character for 2 entire seasons of spinoff and supposedly comes from the same experiment as Homelander literally gets relegated to being Uber security.

Though I do think The Deep's death, Ashley not getting to walk away consequence free, and Butcher's end were done fairly well.
 
So I calced the feat where Homelander takes the billionaire astronaut to space, even if it won't be used because of concistency issues it is at a crisp 79,985.76 m/s (Massively Hypersonic)

bow about the feat where ryan does from russia to usa in a cupple of seconds?
 
The elevator in Stan's bunker is on the ground floor. They're on the second floor while looking through the files, and Zoe is already heading towards the ground floor with her phone on and in her hand before Hughie stopped her, so (unless Ryan was texting in the air or Zoe was leaving her phone on to constantly look at it) I think the implication is supposed to be that Zoe had a text conversation with Ryan almost immediately after arriving at the bunker with The Boys, she then texted him to arrive shortly before Hughie sees her, and Ryan subsequently arrived in the time it took for her to leave the bunker + a few seconds.

If we assume 5 minutes and 8,700 km (Caspian Sea region to Maine), it's almost Mach 85. If we assume 10 (which I think is reasonable, even if they'd read through a few pages of files), then it's Mach 42.

Doesn't work because his acceleration to MHS was instant, and characters can intercept his flight speed. They scale, so we need to consider the feat with that in mind.
Im going compile every single one of the several dozens anti-feats we see across the shows just to show you how horribly inconsistent and ******* absurd it is for them to be anywhere near MHS in combat speed.

Of course, just make sure not to use any confirmation bias and compile every feat in general to show yourself how horribly inconsistent and ******* abusrd it is for them to be just transonic either.
 
So which superhero was Bombsight based on? The Sentry? He was named Robbie, was a drug addict, and I think he kind of had a forgotten theme. 🙏

Thats... actually a good question??? I don't think he fits any specific hero like some of the other cast do, he may not even parody any hero specifically. The best fit i could think of is maybe a loose Captain Marvel parody or somehting.

There is genuinely 2 actual feats in the show that crack Mach 10

A Trains quicksilver moment

Homelander’s space flight


And before you list the other “feats”, Mr. Marathon was literally putting on a ruse for them the entire time and there’s no reason to assume he wasn’t just lying (plus him being MHS is contradicted within the episode).

Ryan flying from Russia is explicitly supposed to take a while with him being late for when he’s supposed to meet someone, we don’t have any semblance of a timeframe that would net anywhere near MHS. Hell, this could actually be another anti-feat since if he was MHS he would’ve been able to get there almost instantly and not even be close to “late”.

Homelander's Bomb feat was recalled to Supersonic+.

So yeah, it’s a lot of “consistency” when you’ve got 2 actual feats vs 50+ anti-feats, portrayals, and statements that all massively contradict it.

Scorched ******* earth.
 
It's funny to think that this might genuinely be the most active day for this thread. Unless Vought Rising actually gets the attention from us all.
 
Even if Ryan took half an hour (and he obviously didn't, because they've read through 3 pages with big text that are half composed of images), the feat would be at least Mach 14.1.

I'm less of the "definitively MHS" crew, more of the "transonic/subsonic Homelander is terrible" crew.

Homelander super speed in the animation.
A-Train able to search an entire city in 30 minutes.
A-Train needing a 5000 FPS camara to be perceived, you think that shit is Mach 1? That means he only appears in one or two of these 5000 frames.
Homelander outspeeding an explosion.
The canonical Mach 1.52 measurement.
Outsped jets that were Mach 2.
Kid Homelander was already faster than sound.
Stormfront's Supersonic speed too.

We don't have to accept MHS, but we're sure as hell not downgrading the verse to subsonic and having A-Train be the fastest thing in the verse.

Homelander's Bomb feat was recalled to Supersonic+.
That's still an anti-feat to both Mach 1 and MHS, so scorched Earth indeed.
