I guess that checks out for her flip-flopping, though.Essentially, when she's smarter than him, she sees him as a dumbass, but when she isn't, he's an equal and also a fellow Supe.

In the Diabolical S1E8, we see kid Homelander getting his hand getting dipped into.. idk, fire? Hard to tell, but it was glowing hot. And adult Homelander takes an explosion to the face without any burns.Neat! Any idea if we have other feats for young Homelander heat resistance?
I'll check them out, but one thing for sure, it won't 8-C lol. 9-B+ to maybe 9-A eyeballing itYou only hear one explosion go off for the first one but I suppose that could be a chain reaction. However the other two are clearly Stormfront. Her throwing that object and her collapsing an entire room definitely seems like it could get higher than 9-B. I'm using these calculations to gauge what it would be and it seems to be in the 9-A to 8-C range.
Or we need to add a Post-Heart Transplant key cause he got that towards the end of season 3[/SPOILER]
The Deep now scales to Starlight & that cast of characters, so "9-B, possibly 9-A" Deep is official (I still think the characters deserve to be bumped to flat-out 9-A, but that CRT can wait until the end of the season). We can also probably remove the "Post-Heart Attack A-Train" key, as he could fight with Deep after his heart attack, so clearly the heart attack didn't weaken him that much.
I don't think so, he hasn't shown much diffrence in power. The only time he might've been nerfed was after the heart attack, but he still held his own against & survived hits from The Deep, who is Starlight level, who pre-heart attack A-Train scaled to. So clearly he wasn't super effected by the heart attack in strength. There's another active CRT talking about this more in-depth though, so we'll save this conversation for that.Or we need to add a Post-Heart Transplant key cause he got that towards the end of season 3
Butcher randomly getting reviled to have cheated on Becca was out of nowhere and seems very out of character for him. It didn't even add anything, it was just like "Guess what, Butcher f*cked a waitress one time while married to Becca" and nothing more.
Butcher might have "9-B, possibly 9-A" durability, as Noir & Deep were instructed to kill, but Butcher survived multiple attacks from Noir (who should realistically scale to the 9-B possibly 9-A bunch as MM said that they wouldn't be capable of killing him before he woke up and implied that Noir could kill all of them, even though they had Starlight there with them), so Post-V Butcher is at least a stone wall. If we don't want to scale him to that, he should at least have 9-B durability due to tanking an attack that destroyed a table, which is Wall level.
Thoughts on Season 4 Episode 7 (Spoilers):
It was okay. Not bad, not great. Lets start with some positives.
The Deep killing his octopus lover was funnier than I was expecting it to be.
Noir really carried there.The Deep & Noir vs Butcher & Starlight fight was sick as hell. I loved seeing The Deep actually square up for once and show that he's not a pushover in the verse. It was also cool seeing the New Noir in a fight, and the scene overall was really well done.
I was taken off-guard by the entire ass in the middle of my screen.Butcher, Starlight, & Hughie getting the files was interesting & had good tention, though I feel like the chase could've been better edited.
Ryans speach at the end of the episode was nice, it shows that Ryan is still a good person & hasn't followed his father in his footsteps yet.
That ending caught me off guard and was a great twist, excited to see how this goes next episode.
A-Trains redemption arc only got better when he helped fight off The Deep & cut out his chip, showing that he truely isn't apart of The Seven anymore, and I hope we get to see him as an official member of The Boys soon.(He is so unbelievably cooked next episode)
I just don't like Webweaver. He's meant to be a parody of Spider-Man that's like "haha, that's where webs actually come from," but like... why is he popular in-verse? His only power is blasting ass-webs. In the comics, he was supposed to be a pretty strong guy that the Pre-V Boys had to work together to beat, and he could actually use wrist webs.Now for the negatives:
I didn't find the Webweaver interrogation funny or enjoyable at all, the entire time I just wanted to skip past the scene and look up what happened later. Homelanders kill against Web Weaver was brutal as hell though, 8/10 kill, CGI could've been a bit better.
Kimiko hasn't seen movies, and, in the moment, that was the stupidest thing that guy could have done. He's only alive because Frenchie wasn't packing heat.Litteraly seconds before Kimiko got stabbed with the needle I was pretty much yelling at the TV screen "Don't get to close Kimiko, he is going to stab you with the needle and try to get out, this should be obvious. Force him to put the needle on the table and then have him step away from it, it's an easy solution and you guys are smart enough to think about this." If some random 18 year old could think about this in a few seconds, the characters should've been smart enough to think about this as well. This just felt like very heavy PIS or CIS.
I'm headcanoning it that the tumor just made that shit up, it controls his brain.Butcher randomly getting reviled to have cheated on Becca was out of nowhere and seems very out of character for him. It didn't even add anything, it was just like "Guess what, Butcher f*cked a waitress one time while married to Becca" and nothing more.
I think this is going to lead to the two of them becoming better friends.The reviel of Sage sleeping with Black Noir as well was also out of nowhere, had minimal setup and really wasn't needed, though maybe this could lead to a future Black Noir vs Deep fight which could be cool, though I doubt it will.
Some of the shots & editing were weird in places, which kind of broke me out of the immersion.
Overall, good episode, not great though. It had some large flaws, but it still held up. Hopefully the finale is a bit better than this episode was.A-Train is so inhumanly cooked he's 1,000% dead bro is NOT seeing Season 5

If we don't want to scale him to that, he should at least have 9-B durability due to tanking an attack that destroyed a table, which is Wall level.
Possible Social Influencing for A-Train? He convinced MM to stay to help fight Homelander despite making a promise to his wife & daughter, so that might count for something.
Deep could only dodge A-Train on rare occasions, and I'm pretty sure it's just aimdodging.Deep straight up dodged A-Train when A-Train tried running at him. So either the 9-B possibly 9-A crew needs a bump to their reaction & combat speed, or that's an outlier as A-Train frequently speed-blitzes the other characters on this level.
Frenchie doesn't scale, it took him a really long time with a cutting weapon.Frenchie could cut through Kimiko's leg with a saw, & Kimiko was shown growing it back. So Low-Mid regen for Kimiko (though she honestly deserves Mid regeneration as that bullet definetly went through her skull & into the brain) and maybe an AP bump for Frenchie? Idk, might be an outlier, or you could argue that he was using a piercing weapon & it still took him quite a while. Either way, I don't think we can argue for 9-A Frenchie anytime soon.
I think it's that combined with the fact that she had no oxygen.That shapeshifter girl has access to some powerful ass knockout gas. Starlight was uneffected by OG Noir's knockout gas which can knock people out instantly, yet the shapeshifter could knock her out with just a few puffs of whatever her gas was. That's some impressive sleep manipulation.
I feel like the "haha ocean animal dies" joke is almost as overused as Hughie getting sexually assaulted.

I agree, I'm speaking more in general.Honestly Ambrosius’ death was really unnerving and didn’t come off as a joke at all. Maybe they were just being tone-death again like with the Hughie stuff, but in this case I honestly think they were trying to play it straight as well. Obviously the context of Kevin having an octopus girlfriend has an inherent layer of humour to it, but even that part wasn’t a thought in my mind in that moment.
Here is the thing current a train doesn't have any heart issues, the post heart attack key is for his season 3 self before he got that heart transplant. Whatever current a train does doesn't effects that key.I don't think so, he hasn't shown much diffrence in power. The only time he might've been nerfed was after the heart attack, but he still held his own against & survived hits from The Deep, who is Starlight level, who pre-heart attack A-Train scaled to. So clearly he wasn't super effected by the heart attack in strength. There's another active CRT talking about this more in-depth though, so we'll save this conversation for that.
And the ripping people in half is necessary?The sex scene this episode really wasn't needed and feels forced in just to make the show feel adult.
Hugh Sr. was clinically brain dead when he was injected, compound v does not do well with people who have serious medical issues (Has shown by Sun-Hee and Billy Butcher with their living tumors). Basically while the compound v was keeping him conscience, his brain still hadn't actually recovered causing him to have bouts of amnesiaHuey's Dad on Compound V.... Was he suffering memory issues before taking it? Or were they caused by the Compound V?
Eh, nothing to be proud of here. He is clearly manipulating Ryan to do what he wants by twisting Ryan's good intentions and desire to be a hero.I was proud of Homelander, for teaching Ryan some independence & self-assertion. It's good to be able to stand up to those who misuse their capabilities.... But somehow I doubt Homelander's teachings are going to turn out all too well.
And by A-Train, that stuff was not helping him.Hugh Sr. was clinically brain dead when he was injected, compound v does not do well with people who have serious medical issues (Has shown by Sun-Hee and Billy Butcher with their living tumors).
Yeah, I feel like I sorta got that impression after a bit, hence by use of "was proud of him" & saying "But somehow I doubt Homelander's teachings are going to turn out all too well.".Eh, nothing to be proud of here. He is clearly manipulating Ryan to do what he wants by twisting Ryan's good intentions and desire to be a hero.
I forget. How'd it affect him?And by A-Train, that stuff was not helping him.
The heart issues were cause of v abuseI know he had heart issues, but that wasn't from the Compound V, right?
I think he had... headaches or something, right?
Was that all he had, if you'll forgive my asking?The heart issues were cause of v abuse
There were some standard drug addiction related symptoms like headache, unstable emotions and he was acting a bit recklessly whenever he was high.Was that all he had, if you'll forgive my asking?
Why?So A Train is faster than Homelander in combat, right?
Homelander, Soldier Boy, Noir, Deep and Noir are all relative to eachother in speed. None is Blitzting the other.Why?
Deep and Noir are not comparable in speed to Homelander and Soldier BoyHomelander, Soldier Boy, Noir, Deep and Noir are all relative to eachother in speed. None is Blitzting the other.
Yes they are, since Soldier Boy couldn’t blitz Starlight and she was able to react to him and blast him out of the air. And Starlight is comparable to Deep and Noir.Deep and Noir are not comparable in speed to Homelander and Soldier Boy
Starlight is really really weakened in this episode. She was amped and peak against Soldier BoyAnd Starlight is comparable to Deep and Noir.
Is there proof that affected her speed? Because even in earlier seasons A train could blitz her. Seems it is the same.Starlight is really really weakened in this episode. She was amped and peak against Soldier Boy
What do you mean? Starlight was weakened in last few episodes to the point where she cannot even use her powers, while against Soldier Boy she was amplifiedIs there proof that affected her speed? Because even in earlier seasons A train could blitz her. Seems it is the same.
Soldier Boy couldn't blitz Starlight because only his combat speed is Hypersonic, not his running speed. Soldier Boy didn't hit Starlight because of the range, he couldn't hit her.Yes they are, since Soldier Boy couldn’t blitz Starlight and she was able to react to him and blast him out of the air. And Starlight is comparable to Deep and Noir.
The question is whether there are any changes in Starlight at all in terms of physical ability, since it has been her light power which is malfunctioning specifically.Starlight was weakened in last few episodes to the point where she cannot even use her powers
That doesn't mean she's was physically weakened btw.What do you mean? Starlight was weakened in last few episodes to the point where she cannot even use her powers
