Just binged both seasons.
Very well done.

If Black Noir was able to track Butcher with facial recognition, why weren't they on the lookout for the other three who all happened to be walking around in daylight hours across the various episodes? Eh, minor nitpick.

I'm guessing the Church will be the Season 3 main villain/backdrop?

Or maybe they have to track down the supes that escaped where Lamplighter worked?

Good stuff.

I thought the church would be the bad too... But then the last reveal kind of killed that theory...

I think It will end up that the “revealed bad“ is actually working with Alastair Adana. At the end of S3, Lucy, Wyat and Rufus will appear and all 5 will leave together.

my only question about the "revealed" is why they put in the red herring of the Girl in the "mental clinic" with similar powers... but they added to that red herring by showing her at the end hitching a ride...

I wonder if they will meet...

My one hope is that they don't bring back Stormfront. Keep her dead.

Would ruin the emotional impact and the trajectory of the story imo

Her end was a complete hoot. I really liked how half her legs and arms were literally burnt off. But I loved how she was left babbling away in German. Hilarious

Speaking of which, apparently, her babbling was nothing evil. Apparently she was talking about taking a walk with her husband and daughter. I saw a YouTube vid that translated everything she said.

Oh yeah. You could get that much out of it even if you didn't speak German. :D

I am on episode 5 or 6 with starlight at the Jesus convention.

pretending that going from conservative common sense based morals to liberal nonsense is ideal and a sign of growth has me turned off now.

I am pretty sensitive to the slant of Hollywood, but I was not bent in the slightest by this show. I thought the analysis of corporate-ness was quite interesting and appropriate to the story.

And A-train was just as villainous as Homelander, if not more so.

I think starlights path (I’m at the festival) is the pretty clear why that it’s being said.

then you definitely don't want to watch season 2 because they go heavy on the Trump political approach and you will be mad.

I didn’t really get that, personally. I saw that arc as the religious leader dude just being a corrupt corporate shill supe, just like all the other corrupt corporate shill supes.

The way I see it is that creative people tend to be in touch with their feels. People in touch with their feels tend to be liberal. Therefore, the vast bulk of the good stories from Hollywood will come with the left slant. Sometimes I can live with it, sometimes I can’t. This show is one where I think the story telling is good enough to ignore.

WHAT???

If you go in thinking Trump is a Nazi, maybe you will see that. But if you aren’t brainwashed with asinine ideas, you won’t see that.
