it was a big plane
for u
Because reasons
or perhaps he was wondering why you would lift a plane if you plan on destroying it
he's a small guy
It doesn't matter why, all that matters is his plan
they asked that in the show and he basically said i ain't got no fucking ground to stand on dummy how am i supposed to lift it midair
And stand on what, the fucking air?
LIFT the plane?
This was honestly a better plane scene and I'm glad it's getting attention here.
Doesn't he try to do that in the comic and he basically just smashes straight through it, making everything worse?
so he can only propel himself to fly with just enough force to lift his own body but nothing else?
Yeah, he even describes that happening if he tried because planes are made of aluminum and Styrofoam.
Hughie is relentlessly handsome. I want to kiss him relentlessly.
shit i guess bro i didn't write the show nor the comics
>plane's going down
>fuck it man
Based as fuck
Of course he could have saved it, he just had that speech prepared for when they failed. Why else do you think he blasted the cockpit?
lift
PLANE?
How do you know that he blasted the cockpit intentionally, and how did you know he could have saved the plane.
Something about tits. And then he lasered some guy.
I'm wondering what would've happened if he tried to lift it not by getting under it, but by getting on top of it and lifting it under him
I mean the plane is already going on its own momentum and presumably the engines aren't damaged, so really he would just have to guide it to keep it from going down and then try to push it down as it approaches land or try to guide it into the ocean
it was all part of his plan to get the military contract
The speech wasn't prepared. Crashing the plane (with no survivors) was not part of the plan. He's just reckless.
because homelander has the IQ of 300
How do think the plane is gonna take a force pushing in in one direction while it is in flight?
he'd probably just pull pieces of it off
They did pretty well at adapting his costume for the show. The foam muscles, Dredd pauldrons, updated american flag cape. It's a great hokey superhero costume.
He would most likely either tear it open by pulling up or pull his feet into the roof.
that's not the point I was asking about
I'm watching Banshee now because of this guy.
He's pretty unhinged in Banshee, but still does good deeds. I just finished episode 3 and he beats the shit out of a black boxer to the point of breaking his fingers and legs in one of the bloodiest fight scenes I've ever seen.
Because laws of physics apply in this capeshit unlike other capeshit. Also the based decision would have been to let the terrorists win
Why was Queen Maeve even there? What the hell was she gonna do?
>Also the based decision would have been to let the terrorists win
I mean, they did, essentially. I don't think they hijacked that plane with the intention of landing it safely.
Give it up for Queen Maeve!
No, but flying straight at it would be more like him pushing the plane than simply carrying it. He also mentions that in the scene, he says something about how focusing all the force on a single point on the plane will end with him just punching straight through the plane or causing it to start flipping around
Couldn't he just fly under it and apply a little force? Like slowly resting it in the water? This is assuming he cares about saving about the people of course.
Has anyone made a crossover between this and "the" plane scene by editing the two together yet?
Get in the way
not the worst idea
What are Queen Maeve's powers? She's just strong?
planes land just fine on a few tiny points
Is Homelander physically stronger than every other super? His eye lasers are so fast and precise that he never had to flex his muscles. Super strength and enhanced durability seem to be part of every hero's kit, so it's not inconceivable that Maeve or even A-Train could beat him in arm wrestling. Homelander's super senses, flight, and eye lasers are more than enough to scare every other hero shitless.
Somebody falls out of the plane at the ten second mark.
it's a 737 Max
>it was doomed to fail
They all seem pretty scared of him so presumably he's physically stronger than the rest of them in addition to the lasers, flight, etc
She's Wonder Woman, so she does Wonder Woman things
>Is Homelander physically stronger than every other super?
There's the Black Noir twist that I hope doesn't happen, but other than that, yeah. Everybody is afraid of him, except for Noir.
Bullet proof
she can make herself weigh a lot which is good for facesitting
Strong and somewhat invulnerable. She broke every bone in her arm catching a schoolbus but can also stand in front of an armored truck and be alright so I don't know.
Real talk who would win between Homelander and Bane on a plane? Such as the wreckage brother, or any commercial plane.
Kind of makes you wonder which is the worse way to die, staying on the plane to die in the crash or falling out to die by the fall/drowning, similar to how some people jumped out of the towers on 9/11
>There's the Black Noir twist that I hope doesn't happen
What else would they do? I guess I'm not opposed to something different happening, it's worth mentioning that Black Noir and Homelander's actors have 3 inches height difference between them
Any force use the move the plane in a meaningful way would be enough to snap it. remember it is an air plane frame not a tank.
I don't know what the deal in the show is, but the comicbook it is 9/11 and it crashes into the Brooklyn bridge because of The Seven, the only plane to do so since the Air Force shoots down all the other planes.
Civil engineer here.
>He also mentions that in the scene, he says something about how focusing all the force on a single point on the plane will end with him just punching straight through
that's true.
If you theoretically had super strength, but you only had human hands, you can't just push it at a point because that point is extremely weak.
e.g. if you try to hold it from a point at the tail, it would just break off.
Maybe it can be done with some sort of harness.
Alright fine, I'll fucking watch the show. Are you happy? You can stop posting this image now.
I'd go for a jump but try to chuck something below me to break the surface tension before landing, which would dramatically increase my chance of survival
Then I'd be treading water and Homelander would show up and laser eye me to death
The twist was stupid when it first happened. It's stupid and unnecessary in the show, because Homelander wasn't gaslighted here and is just a conniving asshole.
He could have safetly landed it if he flew at the bottom of the plane with his body flat against it. And only used enough for to safetly glide it down instead of carry it.
>it's worth mentioning that Black Noir and Homelander's actors have 3 inches height difference between them
That doesn't dispel the possibility that Black Noir is an improved clone, since he's supposed to be better anyway.
just binge read the entire comic, it's interesting how glass-cannony they made all the superheroes, like 99.9% are just jobbers who'd die to a guy with a gun, but even homelander and his clone tore eachother apart in seconds
Did Butcher still get those Argie bastards back in '82 or did they change his backstory in the show?
The plane is presumably up around 30,000+ feet for a transatlantic flight
No way you’re dying to anything other than the impact of hitting the water
>buying into the breaking the surface tension meme
50iq retard
Congrats user welcome to Amazon Prime. It’s truly a great service with lots of cool content.
All the 9/11 stuff got nixed from the show. It's present day, the contemporary things the show deals with is all about the market saturation of capeshit crap
he’s not as good as sullenburger
It's even more enjoyable with a refreshing can of Berry's Red Cola.
No one cared last week.
Not all :)

fuckin' superb
>Maybe it can be done with some sort of harness.
He fucked up by bringing Maeve, he should have brought Ezekiel instead. Ezekiel could have stretched into a harness to lift the plane, or to remove every passenger safely.
They work for the Brit, leader of the Boys.
>BUTCHER?
Aye
>black noir
>black actor
What does this mean?
Yeah I didnt like how easily the heroes went down but that's just ennis with his hate boner for heroes and wanting them to look pathetic
I like to think the foam muscles are in universe too and he's a sort of skinnyfat out of the suit.
So he goes under the middle of the plane and pushes, and the plane splits in half. Good job.
IT'S GOING TO BE FINE SWEETIE
It does look like a fuckload of padding
That could be to throw people off, after all we never saw noir out of costume
HE'S LEAVING US!
Is it true they cast a woman as Stromfront?
People think that planes are brittle. Why? They can withstand some serious force. If Homelander can grab someone without crushing them or giving a handshake without destroying their hand, then he can relatively push up against a plane using the correct force. All he'd have to do is tilt the nose up to about 190 and reduce it's speed gradually to a safe water landing
Well aren't they lucky if they get at least Captain America level durability? Even the people resistant to bullets it was only at skin and their eyes and moth were weak spots. even with the skin they didn't hold up to depleted uranium rounds. And the only guys with stupid levels of resistance were Homlander, Black Noir, and Stormfront.
and then there is also this.
Black clones are a thing now lmao
If he tried to lift from the nose the downward forces on the plane would cause it to start somersaulting. He explains this. If he tried to lift from the bottom those same forces would just collapse the plane around him or push him through the hull.
He might have been able to fly the plane forward if he was able to grab something beneath the plane and use that to leverage it forward, but this wouldn't really do anything without rotor control or a landing gear. He could probably fly it forward but he wouldn't be able to land it or control it, and again that last one is a big if.
He explained why but its pretty obvious he also just doesn't give a fuck.
Pretty based desu.
Apparently. Somewhat clever desu, it takes the sting out of the first superman being Nazi and casting a Jew at that gives them a free pass.
It does sort of undercut Ennis's original connotations about a culture obsessed with worshipping supermen, though.
>Because laws of physics apply in this capeshit unlike other capeshit
Homelander wouldn't need to left the entire weight of the plane. Since the wings and engines are still intact all it needed as guidance. He just need to glide the plane into the open ocean for controlled crash.
the entire point of the scene is the fact he's a lazy dick.
>Identify yourself to world.
>Madelyn Stillwell, Senior Vice President of Vought International's Hero Management.
>And what... am I?
>The world's most powerful hero. Capable of leveling everything within a radius of six miles.
>And who is capable of controlling such a person?
>...Only me.
>Only you. Thank you, Madelyn.
The area of the plane were the landing gear is attached is designed to take the force of the jumbo jet falling out of the sky and landing on the hard surface of a runway.
The area if the lane were the engines are attached to the plane are designed to take the force of the engines thrust that pulls the plane thru the sky.
Yes his answer was that an attempt to save the pkane might cause him to destroy the plane, and he’s depicted as something of an idiot in the series, so his failure to save the plane is consistent with the stupidity of the character, but technically, he might have been able to save it.
It's funny because he could save them but he's a lazy fuck.
THE SHAREEF DON'T LIKE IT
LET THE PLANE CRASH
LET THE PLANE CRASH
He didnt care, he was able to fly from the states to the Atlantic or whatever in a few minutes so he can in theory carry 2-4 people at a time and drop em at the ocean
see
Was the controls too damaged to allow it to land or is it just because of the dead pilots? Could he fly a pilot up to land it or would the force kill him
You can't fly that fast unless you are super strong, a normal human being would die
haha owow more superheroes i totally love it! based mouse xD
hello redddiiiittttt
I thought someone was going to record video of the whole thing on their phone.
based
Yes
they're just doing it so she can fuck niggers
Whoa, check the trolling, kid! These ain't your MARVEL super heroes!
Wow! I must watch it, and then the next ones, and the next and the next! I'm with the in crowd! Ain't superheroes and starwars so based guys? who reylo here? XDDDD
You mean... it’s making fun of tropes? This is based, haha ok this is deep
This
Maeve mentions that whenever Homelander flies her, it fucking hurts and it's freezing
If that's what happens to Maeve, a normal human would just fucking die
WEOWZAAAA
Why didn't he just fly under the plane with his back against the bottom then start moving upward?
There was a really easy plan they could have went with.
>Homelander and Maeve both fly outside and go underneath the plane
>One of them uses just enough strength to lift the back of the plane while the other lifts the front
>The plane is gradually slowed and it's safely flown back down to the ground
Too much effort
Maeve can't fly.
Maeve cant fly you dingus
Yo, this nigga starting the best action series ever made
Why cant starlight sit on my face
Because physics
The most realistic thing would probably be to try and throw out a bunch of those life raft things into the ocean and then start flying people down into them at a moderate speed
You probably wouldn't save everyone but the plane's pretty high up so you might get at least half or so
The physics should be fine since there is no accelerating into the plane and it would be like a plane sitting ontop of a horizontal human.
Landing gear for commercial planes are massive and built into the structure of the fucking plane
so grab it by the gear
Don't tease me. Erin is now top of my wishlist for leaked nudes.
Planes are designed so that the majority of the force they have to deal with comes from the front of the plane and travels under and above it spread across the entire fuselage
If you're applying enough force to lift a plane in a human-sized area underneath it, it doesn't matter how slowly you apply the force, it will eventually either puncture the fuselage, or cause the plane to bend (which, in flight, is essentially a death sentence)
Homelander could probably lift up a small plane in mid-flight like a biplane without much issue, but something as big as a passenger jet has no chance
Imagine how perfect her pussy is
so then every area of the plane except the part attached to that one landing gear breaks off
much better
I assume they'll just use the same actor as the homelander when he lifts the mask.
What’s the point of a “killing superman” story if he’s not as durable as superman?
That’s the most frightening facet of evil Supes because there’s literally nothing a normal person can do to stop him.
>Civil engineer
>knowing anything about dynamics
HA
That's what I'm talking about, I was hoping you perverts were quick with this. Moar
Hairless innie. Calling it now.
Pink pussy with brown pubic hair.
He's homelanders clone who got the same surgery as Robert Downey Jr. in tropic thunder.
Shaved I think or trimmed. Or you talking natural bush
what the fuck even
You would pass out before you hit the water, which at that height would be like a tomato hitting a brick wall. The only thing that could save you would be a parachute.
Because Homelander mass is inferior to the plane. If you push something with more mass than you (in a vacuum or in air) then you are pushed back (tip for low iq niggers: the one with more mass win) due to third Newton's law of motion.
Now a more interesting question: in Italy 'Homelander' was translated as 'Il Patriota' aka 'The Patriot'. Due the fact 'Patriot' is an actual word in English i was wondering: what 'Homelander' means? Can you give me a synonim or what this word make a born English think about?
>and he’s depicted as something of an idiot in the series
What? He seemed to be by far the most intelligent and competent person in the show. He could be buffoonish and aloof, but certainly not stupid.
I was thinking a trimmed landing strip.
>shorter
>is better
That's a good oxymoron.
Homelander means he lands things at home. This makes the plane scene very funny.
It's just a meaningless extension to the word "Homeland". Adding "-er" to it to make it sound like a title.
Kek
I don't know much about guns (long time Clinton supporter here so keep the jabs and jibes to yourselves MAGApedes) but Starlight got hit by a pretty big round! Two infact.
Did she survive shots like that in the comic? That's pretty fucking durable.
you just gave me a Lolgasm
This scene exposes the high school dropouts on this board. I didnt know it was this bad
Thanks, now i get it!
The name Homelander is a little bit more cynical than something like Patriot because it brings to mind a sort of post-9/11 xenophobia/nationalism. It's kind of like if there was a german hero named Fatherlander or something like that.
Most special forces guys are 5'10" at most. Smaller targets.
>If you theoretically had super strength, but you only had human hands, you can't just push it at a point because that point is extremely weak.
Ive thought this every time Ive seen anything where someone superhuman lifts something huge in a movie. Theyd go right through it. Just like stabbing someone with a spear.
her only powers in the comic is flight and flashing people eyeballs out. she'd get annihilated by one of those shots
Very interesting, thank you!
i'd jump for sure. you're going to die anyway at least you get to enjoy the free fall for a little while, plus you would die instantly after hitting the ground at terminal velocity.
there are only 3 really Supermen esq heroes in the comics, the three I named. most of them are shit. one guy can become damn near invincible but he needs to say his secret word for it to work.
I don't know about the show but itc, a lot of guys seem immune to pistol caliber bullets, one guy was immune to rifle caliber fire to the point Butcher had to shoot him in the eyes to blind him enough so he could put the barrel in his mouth since eyes, mouth and open wounds weren't bullet proof.
>one guy can become damn near invincible but he needs to say his secret word for it to work.
NI--
Was butchers wife actually a whore who enjoyed getting banged by superhuman or did she just have rapebaby guilt?
I know that in the comics she gets raped by a nigger and the baby kills her
>Was butchers wife actually a whore who enjoyed getting banged by superhuman or did she just have rapebaby guilt?
Homelander lampshaded this in the show. Butcher was convinced that Homelander raped and murdered his wife, but he had no proof.
the crash would have had minimal deaths from the distance they show it falling from
Maybe it would‘ve worked with 3 Homelanders and one support in the cockpit.
The Homelanders would‘ve gained access to the landing gear from the outside because those hardpoints are designed to actually take the weight of the plane.
Supporter shuts down the engines and the Homelannders hold onto the landing gear and _slowly_ slow the plane down until it floats in midair and then slowly bring it to the ground.
am i a brainlet or was frenchies reasons for killing supes not explained in the show? All he says is his dad was shitty and he killed a pretty lady
Frenchie was basically blackmailed into the story by Butcher.
It probably won't. The Asian chick did pretty well against Noir (until, you know) but if he was anything close to Chadlander she wouldn't have done anything.
>that "Well, I tried. Fuck it" expression
How can one man be so sexy
We don't know yet. We only saw the footage of his wife after the sex but that could have been shock from having cheated and having crazy superhero sex with no condoms.
HOMELANDER seems to think it was consensual but he would say that anyway
Why didn't he just blow on it desu
That's assuming his stretchy limbs are much stronger than a normal persons
Remember, you guys are real heroes !
How can one man be this based?
>fucked up
>implying that wasn't his master plan all along
Here we are, a thread with nearly 200 posts discussing how he could have saved them and no good answers. Homelander probably would have had an equivalent of the first 3 posts of internal dialog before deciding it couldn't be done or more likely, he just didn't care enough about the people to try something and possibly fail.
In short, to summarize. For the entire series we were shown:
>Aquaman's bare ass, several times
>The hollow man completely naked, full frontal and with a dick
>Naked Butcher, view from the back
>Naked women were never shown, not counting the photos from the aunt-wolverine in her apartment on the walls and Starlight's bare shoulders in the bed scene.
I'm furious. Like, is this all the permissible female nudity in movies and TV shows at the moment? But at the start Amazon still writes in large letters on the entire screen at the beginning of each series, they say, remove pregnant children from the TV, we have a shocking crazy show with pussy, dismemberment and nudity. Its stated that ike it will be everywhere now, the limit of steepness and courage they have - is it to show a man's ass in every series?
Okay, Starlight, she has the image of an idealistic girl struggling with harassment and objectivization, it would be strange to put her naked in the frame, but damn it, bitches, you could at least show lesbian sex with the Queen Maeve, it successfully go with the plot and the character all would be happy, no one would mind and you would even be praised for LGBT content.
>handsome boy son of mayor killed
DROPPED
your thoughts are problematic.
Chill my man its called shitposting how new are you
Superman's strength is said to be actually telekinesis that he has to be touching an object to use it on. Basically, John Byrne wrote out the logic holes in Superman's powers in the 80s.
Yeah that didn't really make any sense, maybe he only has enough lifting force to carry himself and one person but his explanation didn't work although it was funny because he clearly didn't give a shit about the passengers
Why'd they cut out all the gore?
Why does it matter? Comicfags are so baffling. I read the comic, too, but the whinging about differences is so bizarre to me? The show is better. All of the characters are better. Garth Ennis is a cringy writer half the time. Different doesn't mean bad.
There was a naked woman being fucked mid-air in the first episode.
Because it highlights Homelander's utter disdain for human life and completely diminishes Maeve's trauma at having to rip her way out of the plane.
I also never said it was bad, why so defensive?
They cut the gore and show gross sexual stuff. I hate this timeline
Everything you mentioned was effectively demonstrated in the show. Why the need for ultraviolence?
black noir could be a sort of failsafe for vought, just fucks around until a hero steps out of line, then is tasked to kill said hero without the others finding out. Would be interesting and a bit of a twist on the original idea
If you really think looking back into the cabin is on the same level as having to massacre her way through the people she's supposed to be saving I don't know what to tell you.
i heard starlight likes fishsticks
If you really think that helplessly watching a plane full of 120+ people crash isn't traumatic enough for Maeve, I do not know what to tell you. It was tragic enough.
More=/=better.
yeah i actually saw what you said many time before, he touch it first and then shit can just hover away from his hands
Show is named The Boys, Outraged at all the male nudity. I am shocked.
The show made a huge deal out of explaining one thing so clearly that even a retard would get it - supes care only about their reputation.
So, he could've tried saving the plane but if anything went wrong and some people died or someone filmed it, his reputation as an all-powerful super human would be destroyed. So he decides the make it look like he never was there.
He could have just ever so slightly reduced the velocity
We'll all get our own thing out of it, Tanya. Myself I'm still grappling with the removal of pregnant children from the TV.
He'd have to eat tren for breakfast to get that kind of physique in real life. Then he'll start balding like Cavill.
lel
youtube.com
He should take some tips from Manlet Man and the MCU. This is how you do it.
>the black guy doesn't start drowning
so unrealistic
I read this whole thread and I honestly don't believe any of you are real people. I want to be fair and say you all are just the Marvel fans I never interact with because I've filtered you out
>picking people mid air at incredibly high speed
OHNONONONO
All of the above, but also what this guy says ()
He's Dr. Manhattan'ing it. He just straight up stopped giving a fuck the moment it became somewhat complicated. He was giving off major impressions that he could have done SOMETHING, but he honestly just couldn't be fucked to give a shit. All those excuses he was giving Maeve were token excuses, and if he really wanted, there are VERY high odds he could have come up with SOMETHING.
The excuses he gave were not token excuses. They're the excuses nobody stops to ask when Superman does the same shit.
Literally could've flown and grabbed a tree to instantly increase his surface area, negating the whole "punch right through the cockpit" issue. If he really REALLY wanted to, he could've saved everyone on board, but human life just mattered so little to him at that point.
"the boys"
how about the landing gear, you dumb civvie
t. Mechanical engineer
you should learn/study physics, it can help you broaden your knowledge, instead of festering your brain with capeshit
Him trying to carry the plane or push it up from under would tear it in half because it already has a ton of pressure pushing down on it. When you have pressure pushing down and then add a ton of pressure pushing up from one single point, the plane is going to snap at that point. Planes aren't "brittle" but they're also not indestructible.
>All he'd have to do is tilt the nose up to about 190 and reduce it's speed gradually to a safe water landing
That could work but it requires him knowing how planes work (he doesn't) and being able to think on his feet well (he can't, and obviously panics and has zero plan to begin with). In the comics, it wouldn't really have helped though because they were headed towards New York City (since this was 9/11) and so he just would have landed it in a densely populated area instead of the Brooklyn Bridge (which is what happened again in the comics).
so who was the dad of the corporate lady's baby (RIP)?
>HURR WHY NO PLANE PART SNAP OFF ALL FORCE ON ONE PART DURR?
How does the comics compare to the series, comicfags?
He matches their speed before picking up many of them
much more babyeating and casual use of "nigger"
Yet he flies, so he has lift.
The problem with be distribution. He should have no problem carrying it or pushing it. That he can fly with no apparent requirements proves that. But he'd put too much stress on a very small portion of the plan, causing it to break apart.
>"the truth is, I'm afraid of you"
>fucks him, cuddles him, brings her baby to work regardless, etc...
Made me huh
much better!
Butcher is equally cringe, and Mother's milk as the black gentleman's name doesn't make any sense anymore.
Frenchie isn't played by a french actor and it's quite obvious (though his french isn't that bad actually).
Hughie isn't autistic in the show so he can actually recognize that Starlight is his girlfriend.
Female is given a more fleshed-out backstory.
Mallory isn't going to make anymore as he (she in the show) wasn't in the army.
>This was honestly a better plane scene
The one from the homeland
>Butcher cringe
Correct. Butcher always felt like 2005 Punisher-tier levels of "this is what I think cool is" from uncool middle-aged, upper middle-class suburb dads.
>M.M.
Could be he has the same gimmick, just hasn't been revealed yet, maybe
>Frenchie
I thought in the comics, it was subtly implied he was actually British or something, and was either so crazy he actually believed he was French, or he was just super devoted to playing a character
>Hughie
Hated fucking Hughie in the comics. Skinny-fat, pussy nerd with a self righteous slant to him. Highly annoying.
>Female
I kind of forgot what she was like in the comics, other than she was strong as fuck and everyone was afraid of her. Kind of like Chewbacca, but if Chewbaccas raw strength and ferocity were more respected.
Thank god someone was paying attention during super hero physics class
He's like the superman of that universe, but yeah I'd think he's hiding a weakness for sure.
>Finished season 1 just not
>Fap to milf porn right after
Probably already answered but because he knew rescuing a plane full of people wasn't going to do shit to convince politicians, it needed to be a tragic event that could have been avoided. He pretty much explained it all to the old bitch if you were paying attention.
If I recall she could in the comic books.
She doesnt.
Only Homelander and Noir are superhumanly tough.
If they hadnt killed each other, the world would be doomed.
