Discussion How do you kill Kimiko?

91 Upvotes

I think its a bit understated how powerful Kimiko is. She has regeneration ability that dwarfs most supes. She can regrow lims aswell as shrug off head shots. Compared to someone like Stormfront who dispite being extremly powerful couldn't repair her body after the season 2 finale.

So it raises the question, is kimiko so invulnerable and regenarative that she could actually be killed.

Discussion what if soldier boys shield can kind of break like a lego piece that can be put back together to be used as a shield & both halves can be pulled apart and both halves can be used as a pair of weapons that can also be duel wielded with?

might be a dumb question since he can already use his shield as a weapon

Leaks :Leaks: It's really interesting that when the leaks came out, this scene was the one that people absolutely hated and were most nervous about - but then when the episode aired everyone was like "Yeah, makes sense."

Season 4 Why do you think Hughie changed his mind?

Hughie admits he wasn't going to forgive A-Train but changed his mind, quoting "I don't want to spend my life hating anyone."

I wonder if it was 100% just that or if he was just telling that to Butcher. Like I wonder if he was shocked A-Train ACTUALLY did it despite the risk it put on him or maybe when he saw A-Train did it despite KNOWING Hughie wouldn't forgive him, he decided to change his mind.

Discussion Does A-Train Have A Slowed Perception Of Time Like Red Rush?

113 Upvotes

It certainly seems like he does given our brief POV Shot from him during his fight with Starlight, it would add some interesting context to his character if he perceived everything to be moving in slow motion at all times- particularly his hedonistic personality as anything good he experienced he would feel for a lot longer subjectively.

It would also make all the time he spent listening to Homelander yap VERY funny, knowing that you’ll get killed by your boss if you don’t look interested gets a lot harder when you have to listen to each word for about 10 minutes from your perspective

Discussion About Homelander's and A-Train's speed.

23 Upvotes

Yes the faded bird-plane looking thing is Homelander in the image below.

Homelander's speed is shown in a security camera whilst looking for Translucent. His speed is around 1800 to 2000 kph, not sure how accurate the camera is.

A-Train while on Compound V is shown to be 371 m/s , 1335.6 kph.

My Headcannon is that maybe Homelander doesn't have the perception of seeing things around him in slow motion, but A-Train has time slow perception at great speeds, we see this when he fights Starlight

Maybe season 5 will prove me wrong, what are your opinions?

Discussion Why do some people insist on saying that characters ridiculously weaker than Homelander could fight against him and win?

123 Upvotes

it has already been explained several times in the series that the only one who really has the potential to fight and beat Homelander with pure power is Ryan, soldier Boy can take away homelander's powers and thus win, but with brute force it is impossible, I have seen people commenting not ironically that the deep is almost on the same level as Homelander, are we watching the same series?

Kessler had longer leaks compared to Butcher despite just being a new character, i was surprised how Butcher had short leaks compared to all the other characters too, he should've had more screen time this season
