Lmao just kill him with thirst

That doesn't even logically make sense that he can't drown.

Couldn't they carbon monoxide gas him? Just run a hose into the room attached to an exhaust pipe.

It could be he can survive for a much longer time than expected without air.

did you even watch the show?

When he exploded, shouldn't he have not gone into pieces? Like, keep his skin in tact in the form of a human, but his insides get all mushed and smushed around inside him? And I guess dribble out his orifices?

It's possible he did drown, accelerated heart rate and Homelander heard it.

thats what i thought too. the guy still has to breath.

Literally the first thing I thought of. He's already on the ground, CO poisoning wouldn't take that long

why didnt they just point out that he had no gf, the lonelyness would surely have driven him to commit suicide

but guys it's cooler if stuck a bomb up his ass. c'mon now, it's like jackass. it's awesome, right?

Why? They weren't worried about a typhus epidemic.

I imagine it worked a lot like the safe scene from "The Score".

The invisible skin is invincible from the outside but not the inside?

Why did'nt they just poison him?

Why did they have to feature the worlds worst talk show host?

But Colbert wasn't in this...?

Diamond is like glass, it's tough but it can be shattered by extreme shocks

>"We can't kill him now, Homelander will hear the explosion."
>Rig up an explosion in the same sector Homelander was already searching
>Blow him up a few seconds later
>Homelander doesn't immediately just turn around
Seemed like a really contrived way to get Hughie to pull the trigger.

That's not murder - that's torture. moron.

>In an old fast food joint
>Didn't think to deep fry him
I know another spy show killed a main character in a frier

Homelander can fly yet no one questions that

There's no way a baby's head can contain enough energy to project deadly lasers either

Yes actually.

They had a time limit. Homelander would have found them eventually.

this would have been cool

The real question is why a bomb? They realize his insides are vulnerable, so why not just buzz him out, then fire that .50 cal up his ass?

i was positive that the twist was going to be that hughie poisoned the water he gave him

>L-LE MEME! LE MEME! R-RIGHT GUYS? XD!

This is following the time honored tradition in comics of "Its superpowers. I ain't gotta explain shit"

yeah if homelander can fly, he absolutely could have saved that plane, the excuses he gave about only going through it are bullshit, he could accelerate himself to match the force of the plane, and then start to decelerate slowly enough that he'd slow down the plane rather than going through it.

drowning didn't work and both that and carbon monoxide poisoning kill due to lack of oxygen

Homelander could have came up with a million ways to save those people but he didn't because he's a human lab rat with no remorse for humanity

No he couldn't. Why would Homelander lie to us?

>"Hey Translucent, have sex"

in the show he gives up on saving everyone cause he claims its scientifically unfeasible, not cause he doesn't want to. but it would only be breaking the rules of physics as far as homelander is already breaking them by flying, to have stopped the plane. just bad writing

Inertia is a thing. The strength of his muscles only matter if he has something to push against. To stop the plane in flight he'd have to get up to enough speed to offset the plane's motion, and like he said he'd just tear through it.

Homelander zoomed off somewhere else, presumably with his attention focused on what the fuck was happening at the new place he didn't pay attention to the explosion at the old one whereas he would have for sure heard it when he was flying around specifically listening for shit.

The force required to stop the plane generated by Homelander would indeed rip through the hull. Planes slow down by throwing up spoilers and creating drag, sapping kinetic energy from the plane through forceful contact with air molecules diffused all over the body of the plane itself. You can't slow down a plane by essentially hitting it really hard at a single condensed point, you're just going to fucking break it.
This is the same reason why you don't want to try and break while going 120 mph on a motorcycle by sticking your foot on the road, but why this works perfectly when you're on a playground swing.

Or GAS him.

Fucker, just be glad the jannies are paying attention today, or else this thread would be DROWNING in onions.

>The strength of his muscles only matter if he has something to push against.
This is true, but if he flies the way superman does, he can basically lift and push normally off of just the air alone. If his flight is much weaker than his super strength then this makes sense though. He wouldn't have to stop the plane or land it either, all he needed to do was keep its nose up for a few hours while it crosses the Atlantic and engineers back home come up with a way to evacuate the passengers. There should be a hard point for the front landing gear her could have grabbed onto that would let him do this without wrecking the plane.

Force required to get Homelander to move through the air isn't anywhere close to the force he would need to generate to move the plane while in the air.

I know, but again, if he has Superman's powers he would be able to do it, so it's not unreasonable for the audience to expect that he could.

physics are garbage in this show
i noticed from the very first scene when that chick placed herself in front of the van to stop those criminals driving it
the van literally went from 60 to 0 instantly yet none of the thugs were injured, the guy in the back was even sitting down chilling until he saw her, like wtf

Why would a delouser do anything to a supe?

Imagine you had a sewing needle made of supernaturally tough material. Is there any circumstance under which you could stop a slow-moving car with that needle? Maybe if you stabbed all over its front really, really fast....

My idea would be to destroy every part of the plane but the floor, and wings if feasible (doubt it), then find the center of gravity and use my entire body to keep the plane afloat from underneath. Any legit physicists here to comment?

Also I find it rather disingenuous that they put on a show of following real-life physics, yet Wonder Woman still has to beat the shit out of a driver whose face should have already been halfway through the steering wheel.

It's actually rather perplexing considering they depicted this perfectly with that poor dolphin.

I didn't think of that. No matter the strength, the pressure would rip holes in the pane no matter what. A human being is not physically big enough to stop a plane because of physics. Now if Homelander had a giant glove...

he purposefully blew up the controls and killed them all, he never had any intention of saving them

>giant glove
What about a bigass tree, longer than the plane and almost as wide, cut vertically in half to maximize the surface that makes contact with the plane? Assuming only the floor of the plane was left intact, and the intent was to slow down by gliding, not to stop outright.

Kid was going to take the glass away so he had to drink it if he wanted to keep it to use for you know what.

>Any legit physicists here to comment?
I'm too lazy to do any math right now but I do have a BA in Physics.

Usually the fact that Superheros shouldn't be able to lift huge things with just their hands is ignored or handwaved with some force field bullshit. It is a legitimate concern though. Even if he had enough thrust to move the plane, he wouldn't just be able to push on it anywhere. I think if he grabbed onto wherever the front landing gear are mounted he might be able to hold the nose up without ripping through the plane, but it was also rolling to the side and he might not be able to exert enough torque from that position to stop that. The landing gear would rip away as the plane spun around him because they aren't designed to handle lateral force.

Once the plane is no longer in immediate danger of crashing, you have to worry about landing it. If the destroyed console has it stuck at wide open throttle it might be very hard for him to safely put enough backward force on the plane to balance out the forward thrust of the engines (the plane doesn't have any natural hardpoints along that axis except the engine mounts). As the plane slows down it would get harder too because there's less air resistance helping him. Now that I'm thinking about it though, he could've gotten the plane to a good location to crash land and then lasered the engines off to induce the final descent.

All in all I think he could've given it a shot and at least saved some people, but it would have required a lot of effort and he just didn't care enough.

>purposefully

No he was miffed that the terrorist shot the pilot and quickly lasered him without realizing it would also destroy the controls.

why would he do a big sideways sweep across the whole dashboard instead of just a straight shot though

He seems to prefer slicing people with the lasers, like that terrorist that tried to run away from the compound. Maybe it's more lethal?

Why would he risk collateral damage lasering him in the first place instead of punching his head off? Oh wait, because it was instinctual and he wasn't thinking rationally about how destructive laser eyes would be in the cockpit.

couldn't he simply have manually emergency landed it? the control panel is fucked, but all the controls were going to do is use hydraulics to move the fins and stuff, which since he has super strength he could do easily.

the fuck does he even need the control panel for you know?

I don't think he knows enough about the plane to do that internally with the hydraulic system, and doing it externally just by pushing the ailerons around might not be possible because he can only push them one at a time.

I think at least half the point is he doesn't even know what he's fully capable of. Most of his rescues are probably scripted and it's not like there are any supervillians that push him to his limits.
