Is he really 100% invulnerable? What's the point in even trying to take him down then.
I always assumed he was really strong but could be taken down with enough military power. This seems to easily be the case for all the other supes.
Makes the show much less interesting if he's invincible. This implies the entire show will just end with him over a pile of bodies.

You seem to suffer from lack of paying attention while watching the show lol
Also remember Vought had been running propaganda on supe terrorists for awhile before the hearing, and Vought employees got head popped there as well so it was all too easy for them to steer the media narrative towards it being a supe terror attack.

And then in the final episode he says to Maeve "if you release that video I'll destroy everyone and everything" and she just accepts that he could do it and appeals to his ego instead, that if he did that everyone would hate him. That, apparently, is his weakness.

I think they've established over 2 seasons that he has something akin to Narcissitic Personality Disorder, and his Narcissitic supply being cut off is what he fears the most.
His weakness is his psychology, which IMO makes the show more interesting than having him being taken out by a physical weakness. They will have to play a mind game with Homelander, because noone can take him on physically.

That scene at the end of the finale where he's talking and it just slowly zooms in on his eyes is genuinely unnerving.

Usually in any case in the real world, if a star witness is about to end a multi trillion dollar company of superheroes.... And he's killed by superhero powers no less.... Literally everyone would be pointing at the company being behind this.
The stupid writing in this show just glosses over these things. Just like when Vought was brought down over the news of compound V. Edgar just released a statement saying "mane I'm sorry but I dint know wut was going on hehe" and they were just let off the hook like nothing. Lmao.
It seems like absolutely nothing short of video evidence of the 7 slaughtering innocents can stop them at this point. And even then I have my doubts based on everyone's stupidity.
And now I'm hearing mankind can't even stop the supes anyway so what's even the point of the show. Where's the stakes? Taking huge risks for payoffs etc. If we ever make Homelander out to be the bad guy, it doesn't even matter he can just kill everyone.

Vought isn't some random start-up that popped up overnight and everyone just rolled with it, Frederick Vought was Operation Paperclipped by the US government then proceeded to give them supes who went on to fight alongside US troops in WWII. Vought has been operating in the country for over 7 decades, they're literally arms manufacturers it's just that their products are living and breathing. So unless the government and the agencies just kinda forgot all of that, they absolutely know how the supes came to be, it's just a VERY well kept secret, especially in front of the public.
They are a very powerful company with close government connections, and bs levels of PR. They aren't just going away over the baby scandal. And the headpopping case isn't being swept under the rug and will most likely be a major plot point in the next season.
I'm somewhat hoping that the Boys will get V next season now that Vought is close to getting the stable version of the formula.

You completely ignore my points about how easy it was to get over the compoint V situation. That should have ended them.

That to me indicated that he hasn't simply let chit go, and there is still the Sadistic Narcissist inside him that can never be fully suppressed or controlled by anyone.

Surely you must be able to see the symbolism of Homelander, and American blind patriotism and military worship?
What you said may sound unrealistic to you, but it is literally what happens IRL. There has been no mass revolt in the US, despite footage and evidence showing US personnel murdering civilians (including kids). Noone cares that much.

Then people came to the conclusion that they needed Vought to stop the supe-terrorists. So they begrudgingly accepted at bringing down Vought would make them vulnerable to supe-terrorists.
Just like IRL where people accept an increasing technological surveillance state and draconian measures, to stop Islamic extremism and now COVID 19.
Problem-reaction-solution. That is actually a very real life public reaction.

The 7 kill people as collateral, the stakes are raised- they get an easy pass
The show tells us that if compound V is exposed, this brings down Vought. The stakes are raised and you're invested in an outcome - Vought gets an easy pass
The show tells you that a huge court case is about to happen. The stakes are raised. The ONLY people who needs the star witness dead is Vought. They kill him, nobody questions a thing and it's back to usual by the next episode - Vought gets an easy pass.
How am I supposed to care if absolutely nothing works to bring down Vought in any way.

Let's imagine one man is about to testify to blow the lid off Apple by exposing massive criminal aspects of the company. A gunman walks in and shoots up the star witness and also a bunch of randoms. People die, including 5 apple employees.

So does the fact that Homelander was able to "laser Strmfronts tits" without doing any lasting damage to her, but then
Spoiler!
Spoiler!
Ryan was able to rip her to pieces and almost kill her imply that Ryan is stronger than Homelander? Or was Homelander only giving her a portion of his power (heh).

People who point posit scenarios like that IRL are dismissed as conspiracy theorists, and aren't taken seriously by the majority.
If you think about it from the people within the world, and not a bird's eye view that we the viewers have... All they have is suspicion, whereas the government, MSM, and Vought are all simultaneously telling the public that it's supe-terrorists. There's no hard evidence that it was Vought, and there is plausible reason not to suspect Vought because Vought employees were involved and killed.
Again, please think about it from the position of the public within the world of The Boys, and not our objective perspective as viewers.

HL could clearly regulate his laser but the scene where he lasered Storm, I think she had knocked him on his ass and he was pissed and said he would kill her. His initial blast to her chest was clearly a powerful one and he expected to fuk her up. He realized he didn't and kept shooting at her. While she Lol'd at him.
There's absolutely no way that kids laser could be so powerful to completely jack her up like that in one quick burst. It's just a kid without any training, he shouldn't be able to take down the main Villain easily like that. It's Kylo Ren killing Snoke levels of absurdity. Just lazy ass writing.

Supe terrorists have zero motivation to kill the star witness just as he's about to speak. None. It's too coincidental.

Not from your perspective as a viewer, but from the public's perspective, there is no hard evidence and all the Authorities are saying it was supe-terrorists. Are you going to take seriously people on the the internet talking about 'Headexploder Truth'?
Do you take the 9/11 Truth movement seriously?
Do you take people who talk about COVID draconian measures being a pretext for a technological surveillance state seriously?

Homelander wasn't pressed the same way. He was just pissed.
Also who's to say the kid isn't more powerful? He's a different breed. The first ever naturally born superhero as opposed to one concocted in a lab. Either way you choose to spin it you can have a valid argument for either case.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Homelander wasn't pressed the same way. He was just pissed.
Also who's to say the kid isn't more powerful? He's a different breed. The first ever naturally born superhero as opposed to one concocted in a lab. Either way you choose to spin it you can have a valid argument for either case.

This is the same stupidity from DragonBall Z. Goku turning supersaiyan was shown to be a big thing in the universe. A monumental thing. Later in the show we have little 4 year old kids turning supersaiyan lvl 2 while laughing and eating sweets like it's nothing.
Homelander is shown to be the most powerful in this universe. His near maximum strength laser could be withstood by Storm for a minute. Storm can also take a 5 minute beatdown by 3 strong superheroes and be fine. So we can safely assume Storm is ranked #2 in the world.
Kid gets upset and destroys her in one atomic blast that's 50 times more powerful than anything we've seen Homelander do. I have no problem with the kid being able to do a burst attack and maybe stun her for a few seconds but obliterating her like that? Lmao even Homelander would have his hands full in a fight with her and it might take some time.
They just wanted the kid killing her to be a cool moment. That's all it was. I saw it coming a mile away. It was lazy.

His initial blast to her chest was clearly a powerful one and he expected to fuk her up. He realized he didn't and kept shooting at her. While she Lol'd at him.
There's absolutely no way that kids laser could be so powerful to completely jack her up like that in one quick burst. It's just a kid without any training, he shouldn't be able to take down the main Villain easily like that. It's Kylo Ren killing Snoke levels of absurdity. Just lazy ass writing.

Every other supe has been a normal human who then gets injected with the compound, some take to it better then others. Homelander obviously came out the best of any the other babies they experimented on.
The kid has had compound V as a intrinsic part of him since conception, it's not a later add-on. That could easily mean (in this fictitious, make believe world) that he has absolutely insane power levels.
I'd go so far as to say they were clearly trying to tell the audience that with how he smoked Stormnazi like that. Him being young means he doesn't know how to control his powers yet, not that they aren't there necessarily.

HL clearly held back with the first tiny blast after warning SF that he would cut her in half and even after that he didn't go all out.
From 1:00
We have no idea how strong HL's blast would be if he went full unhinged like Ryan. What we do know is that he has extreme control over the strength of his blasts, seeing how he managed to heat a plastic bottle with milk in it without the bottle flat out exploding.
Point is that Ryan has future potential to be a contingency plan against HL, but that's for the long game, unless the CIA has a hyperbolic time chamber to speed up his growth and some kind of expert on training supe powers. He isn't going to return after a long weekend and stomp out HL.

Did Becca actually get raped? Homelander said it was consensual Butcher said it was rape and Becca said it was rape. But that footage from the camera made it look like they had sex consensually.
TLDR; sloots gon sloot, had sex claim rape

They do these gruesome acts, and are often exposed yet all you see is a small protest and that's about it.
You completely ignore my points about how easy it was to get over the compoint V situation. That should have ended them.

You do realize that a vast majority of people irl with power are quite ordinary? Theyre not geniuses. Whether theyre polititians or whatever. You in fantasy land bruh

Lol at even thinking Storm is on the same level as Homelander.
How clueless you have to be? Of course HL controlled his laser power during that scene. He even said he could cut her in half, so of course he would start with small power.
Plus in the last ep he even said when he was facing maeve that he will wipe everyone if that video goes public which assumes he would have no issue wiping all superheroes too.
