Here it is, episode 3 of season 2 of The Boys! Oh, my, LORD!! Homelander is really starting to get too "pushy" with his kid, if you know what I mean! I really thought he was going to be dead.....! Also, wow, the whole whistleblowing thing happened way faster than I thought! But in true Vought fashion, they're just going to put a big phony spin on it all! The Deep's big comeback was.....well, it was very him, let's put it that way lol. Oh, and last but not least, WHAT IN THE ACTUAL WORLD STORMFRONT?!?!?! I want to go on the record as saying I AM NO LONGER ON BOARD WITH STORMFRONT WHATSOEVER!!!! I couldn't tell if she was killing a bunch of people during her tirade, but going to grab the episode title on Wiki this morning, I confirmed it. Oh yeah, and what is with her manical, killing racist bull?!?!?! Poor Kenji! I was really hoping he'd have Kimiko's healing powers, but no......! She is going to END Stormfront now! And I dare say that Homelander is not fond of her either - two very bad enemies to have! Can't wait to see what happens next! Great ep! Enjoy! ~ MH

Wow! I actually did not catch those, I wouldn't have known unless you mentioned it! Good point about the entire company having links to the nazis, though. Exactly - she talks a really great game and you start thinking, "wow, this is refreshing"....only to find out she's just as phony as all the other supes, her "branding" is just a bit different. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't see it coming lol! I wish I could scrub anything good I ever said about her from the face of the earth! >.<

For starters, "Stormfront" is also the name of a neo-nazi website that I believe had some level of notoriety when the comic was made. I'm not sure if that's still a thing, it probably is though with the way things are. And don't forget about how the company was founded in the first place. Shady business all around. Almost every reactor I've seen was super shocked about it though because she is such a performative character. She says all the cool empowering things you want to say. Turns out that is mostly for show to hide what a monster she really is.
