[E8 SPOILER] That was way too easy, huge power downgrade


Those way those three beat up Stormfront like that was way too easy and shows a huge power downgrade for Stormfront from what we have seen in the previous episodes. I know they wanted their girl power scene but this just doesn't fit, it is like Stormfront forgot about her power and was drunk getting beat up left and right. They should have had her put up a much bigger fight specially with how much they had been building her up.

She never really fought other supes besides Kimiko's brother but that wasn't really a fight, it was over before it began.

I thought it was fair.

We know from Homelander's laser that she's not totally invulnerable

We know the neck break is her go-to kill move for other supes, so makes sense she'd use it on Kimiko.

We know Kimiko and Maeve's primary power is super strength

And we know Starlight is superhumanly strong, possibly as strong as Stormfront herself

We've also been shown that the fire-wielding guy is not fireproof (and possibly not bulletproof), that Popclaw wasn't needle-proof and could even suffer broken bones, and so on.

In other words, we've been shown enough supe-vulnerability to accept that a supe-on-supe fight could be devastating when it's three-on-one.

Otherwise, why would Maeve and the others in the Seven be so scared of Homelander?

And just when I was starting to like Stormfront. This series is so odd. I don't like hardly any of the 'good' guys and yet I like most of the 'bad' guys.

reply

She is alive, expect her to show up next season.

Will her limbs grow back?

reply

They’ll figure something out

reply

That was a serious question by the way not me being snarky, not saying you took it that way just after reading it back I think it could’ve been taken the wrong way. From past movie/TV experience when someone is immortal, which I assume she is, if they lose a limb it grows back.

She'll be back in pure Darth Vader stylee.

I seem to remember Homelander lasering her in the chest and didn't hurt her?

reply

It did hurt her but not much.
