Is there anything in particular that makes us believe the head exploding thing is even a super power?
From the moment the FBI ladies head exploded I always assumed it was some mechanism like an explosive payload that Vaught is putting into people they have leverage over or in their pockets. They need some safety mechanism against the Supes, so they implant them with chips that can explode when Vaught wants them to.
That would explain why Edgar is so confident when dealing with Homelander as well.
Wouldn't people know if you did that kind of surgery on them ? They'd be aware and this congress hearing wouldn't have happened ? What more, if you blow the heads of the people who you bought, who is going to help you once it calms down ?

Well the Supes wouldn't since most of them never learned about Compound V either and the feds could have done it willingly.

Wonder if that is the final power Vaught have over the Supes? That they all have kill switches in them for when eventually Homelander is gonna try rise up with Stormfront and take on Vaught.
Still good thinking about that because like you said the FBI ladies nose was bleeding before it went boom, unlike in the court room where they just went boom. Nutty show.

Just watched the latest/last episode. I'm done until I get credible confirmation the show isn't shite next season.

At this point you might just as well watch the next episode since it's going to be last one this season.

Are all superheroes bullet proof? Starlight, Maeve, Translucent, and Homelander are confirmed but what about everyone else? Is lamplighter bullet proof? I remember the CIA lady threatening him with a gun a couple episodes back like it meant something, so I guess he's not? But then in the intro scene to episode 7 the fat guy asks if the store clerk is bullet proof, as if it's a common feature to all superheroes? But then why did he even point a gun at him in the first place?
Can anyone explain?

Some are some aren't. If I had to guess the store clerk thing was part of the very obvious real-world analogy they were making and it was referencing lack of information.

Well, the season finale was interesting to say the least. Only one thing really bothered me in it, but apart from that I'm satisfied. I wonder what they're gonna do with Soldier Boy in S3.
+ Show Spoiler [what bothered me] +
How did Maeve get to the place when she did? How did she know when and where to go?
Also, after ep7 the big Black Noir reveal is gone I think.
+ Show Spoiler [BN comic info] +
I guess I could've thought about it before since he's being played by a black actor. In any case, in the comics BN is a Homelander clone (and it was him who actually raped Becca) and Vought's insurance in case of Homie going batshit crazy.

Blackmail to the rescue once again haha. Ending was interesting though.
|
Didn't see that coming. Thought if you rewatch last episode's climatic scene, it makes sense.
|
My one nit pick:
+ Show Spoiler +Her eyes go all Bran Stark white when blowing up ppl’s heads yet this clearly wasn’t the case when she was in the hearing room.
|
Wasn't expecting the congress lady reveal! That's pretty cool.
The rest of the episode was pretty meh... I mean what's stopping Homelander from just killing Meave, killing Butcher, and taking his son with him? Can Meave really post that video quicker than Homelander can fry her hand off?
Also I guess Stormfront is also bullet proof. I wish the show would establish who is and who isn't ahead of time.

I know its a plot gap if they do but
+ Show Spoiler +I hate kids in these shows more then often, I wish they would just park him there for the next season and uhm forget about him.

So is the congresswoman in bed with vought ?
The end result is that Vought gets fucked, the church gets fucked, who wins ?
|
Decent end to the season.
+ Show Spoiler +Was hoping for Starlight to supercharge off of Stormfront's energy and murder her. I would also love to see someone like Mathew Vaughn direct one of these episodes to punch up the action.

The politics and agendas are the weakest link of the show I have no idea. I am just assuming Vought will always be the true big bad to take down.

Then something more precise, what does the congresswoman stands to gain by creating a supe's supervision agency?
Like even if she's the head of it, what's the end game ?

If she can make it look like the division is just a witch hunt? Vilify the very notion of negative emotion towards Vought/Supes in the public eye?
|
Or it might be something dumber, like running for president on the fear of supes
|
Isn't she just going to be an Edgar plant so Vought can sell compound V but still maintain a monopoly on supes?

Keep in mind that Edgar/core Vought never wanted the compound V news to leak. Plus, I think Homelander kind of forced their hand with the supervillains. Once those two things happened, they knew they had to do something, and so they started creating some controlled opposition in the congresswoman.
They also didn't want Stormfront to go live with the big compound V push just yet, and probably also wanted her out of the way because they knew multiple people had compromising material on her.
Now they've crushed a loose cannon and they have control of the only government agency that ostensibly has any meaningful power over them. It's less a masterful plan and more damage control. In the process they now have control over the shadow operations designed to control Supes (the Boys).
