Well, that sure was a season ender. Wow. A lot to unpack there.

Spoiler:

**creeping-deth87**

Wow season 2 really jumped the shark for me

Spoiler:

**Turnip Jedi**

Well that happened

And as keen as I was for the show to happen I'd be fine with that being the end, even if that denies any more Love Sausage

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I really enjoyed that!

Lots of the old ultra v!

**MDSW**

Wait, so this is going to be the last episode of the season and we are not sure there will be a season 3??????????

waaaaahhhhhh!

**insaniak**

No, season 3 was confirmed at NY Comicon, apparently.

**AduroT**

They confirmed season three some weeks before season two even started airing.

**Eihnlazer**

which means hopefully we get it in spring release.

**nels1031**

Fun season, though I felt it went off track a few times. Still great TV, but not as good as season 1.

Give us a good season 3, wrap up loose ends and call it a series.

**trexmeyer**

The Expanse trailer was released the day after The Boys ended. They are rolling.

**r_squared**

I quite enjoyed it, a couple of surprises I wasn't expecting and I'm glad there will be a season 3.

**Pacific**

Well that was a great finale, thought the series built from quite a slow start and the last few episodes were excellent.
Stormfront was a great 'baddie' (I assume she's not out of it as she wasn't killed conclusively?) Homelander looked like he might have had a shot and some normality but ended up looking as psychotic as ever!
And a nice story arc for Billy at the end there - loved the line "and what did I tell you son?"

Really looking forward to the next series.

Excellent!

Apparently they are due to start filming at the start of 2021, potentially an end of 2021 release.

The end scene for Homey was definitely to still display he is not quite right...and never will be.

I think the finale was great, even left a number of kernels for season 3.

So, what is the deal that the boy's eye lasers cooked Stormfront, but Homelander's did not - did he dial it down when he did it for his foreplay?

Spoiler:

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

My take on the spoilered question?

Spoiler:

**Turnip Jedi**

Also Homelander is a lazy get, I think across both season's his only physical effort was chucking someone a bit I, rest of the time he just half ass' the eyebeams against non-powered or crap knockoff V "baddies"

Spoiler:

**MDSW**

I really hope the kid gets about as much air time in S3 as he got in S2, unless he really blooms as an actor, 'cuz his scenes were a bit painful for me to watch...

sorry, I said it and i ain't takin' it back...

Spoiler:

also it's possible they've consistently been dosing the lad with V in the controlled environment

Isn't the implication that he is so much more powerful that he doesn't need to use more of his abilities than that? That is the impression I get by how much the other Supes are afraid of him.
I did love the bit with the video of the super villain (in the middle east somewhere?) were Homelander turns up and does a 'scary hands' "ooooooh" impression before just lasering him in half..

For the spoilered comment I assumed it's not straightforward to just make Supes of that power - hence why Vought were so keen to get hold of the boy as a foil to use against Homelander. And potentially risk Homelander's wrath in doing so (but basically they have got no other way of stopping him)

Spoiler:

**Turnip Jedi**

Oh aye, and I kind of like that element to him (applies to Stormfront and Annie a bit too) always baffled me t hat Superman et al ever engage in fistcuffs

Remember Stormfront (who seemed to be the only one who seemed comparable) was a product of the earlier experimentation too)

So, was Stormfront's daughter before or after she was part of the Compound V experiment and did her daughter have powers?

Spoiler:

I’m assuming before as I get the impression supes having kids is a non-thing outside of the special case of Homelander’s. Also explains why she’s never had another since.

Spoiler:

I think we may have set a consecutive 'spoiler' record here...

**Pacific**

Haha... well hopefully people shouldn't be reading at this point, after the last episode has been out for a week, without expecting to read a spoiler.

I have only finished the first omnibus of the comic, but so far it does vary quite wildly from the TV series in terms of the plot and even some use of characters. So I'm not sure how closely it can be used for a guide (things like the explanation for the exploding heads are different for example) - certainly when compared to something like the Expanse, which is very close to the plot of the books. (I have only read the first batch of comics though so it may change!)

Given the release timeline, Pacific, any chance we can be accurate as to which media is varying wildly from which?

Hint: the comic isn't varying wildly from the TV show...

Yes I believe that Homelander's kid was unintended. I didn't know though if that whole dolls-house village that they are living in was just for him or for other kids that were the result of Homelander or some of the other supes

Spoiler:

**Pacific**

Interesting Dysartes.. it sounds like I need to keep on reading the comic!

**Turnip Jedi**

I think the change to Noir, which really was needed as it's comic book version is too big to hide for long in the intertubes age, more or less ties the lad to being Homelanders

Also does Maeve have an invisible plane ? Still not clear how she got to the showdown

**Gitzbitah**

Neither Starlight nor the Boys have any special mobility. We can assume since they took their sweet time setting up very specific weaponry that it wasn't hard for Maeve to figure out where they were going. And she would know where The white folks were because she was pretty committed to finding dirt and secrets on Vought, and especially Homelander.
