I don't think Homelander likes to hear the word No.

One question I do have....



We know that people aren't born with powers, all are given by Compound V..... How about Homelanders kid? It's suggested he's in hiding with some kind of compound/secure area that he doesn't know about...... are they/have they been giving him Compound V?


Thoughts??
Don't think so. I see it as the kid being the first to be born with powers, inherited from Homelander.

Well, yes, that's the conclusion I've got to so far as well.

I thought she was raped by Black Noir/Homelander? I'm only on book 3 so I'm not up to speed, but the TV series seems to not be following the storyline too closely so far?

No powers at all? Cue Homelander having a complete melt down.

Yes you do hehe

He had the red glowing eyes and what seemed like super strength (he shoved homelander off his feet) also, he fell ‘just’ 20 feet without a mark!

Great so far, Homelander is still an awesome bad guy. Not held back on the claret this season hehe

Wish they'd have subtitled the scenes with Kimiko and her brother though, didnt have a clue what was said TBH

You can turn on subs in the Amazon app on my TV. Suspect you can on other versions of the app too.

Weirdly, I got the subs for Kimiko last week automatically.
Ep4 started with subs on for everyone but opening the options menu it was off. I toggled anyway and it was fiine after that.

My amazon fire tv has been having issues with subtitles for none English speech on everything. The solution I found is similar to yours, turn on any country and then turn off. That brings them back. I have to do it every time though.

Mentioned already but if you aren’t watching the companion show:





Is well worth keeping up with. Very funny in parts.
Didn’t realise that Seth Rogan is an executive producer until he was on this.
