Noir hallucinating about the talking animals and not being able to talk himself makes sense due to the massive amount of brain damage he received. The fact that he was able to hold on to this amount of insanity is nothing short of a miracle.

[@prodskydroz]

Those are not hallucinations, he imagines cartoons to make feel himself more safe and calmed

[@victorykingpin3674]

​@prodyakshi a hallucination is imagination, so what's your point?

[@prodskydroz]

@@victorykingpin3674 Not exactly, hallucinations are a symptom of schizophrenia, which caracterizes by images, sounds or senses that are not real and the person is not aware of the fact that those things are not real. They think that those things are real, therefore they accept it as reality even if others try to tell em the truth. In that same way, it's not only hallucinations but a serie of other affective symptoms such as emotional disorders. Noir, just imagine cartoons, knowing they are not real, just like a normal thought to make himself feel safe, he is aware that those are thoughts and it's himself saying that he will be okay. In the show, the cartoons are shown as schizophrenia-like images or representations just to make the audience see what is happening inside his head.

what makes this fight scary in hindsight is that Payback won out of pure luck, if it wasn’t for Mindstorm, Soldier Boy would have crushed them all like bugs and even though it was all in cartoon form, the idea of Soldier Boy looking that angry and remorseless while violently mangling Black Noir is genuinely creepy and off putting, no wonder why Payback and especially Noir were scared out of their minds when they heard Soldier Boy has returned, he was just THAT dangerous

Actually it doesn't apply, because normal fear is one thing, actual PTSD is quite another. That's exactly what's fantastic about the line in this scene, because it's an irrelevant platitude that is juxtaposed with Noir's very real trauma. As the audience we're supposed to understand that 'it's not that simple', and through that we understand how helpless Black Noir is in that moment.

[@androsram641]

Nice detail having Grey Griffin voicing those birds.

This makes me feel so bad for BN. But the self-talk/flashback itself, it is inspiring for his character. I was initially put off by the style for a moment the first time upon viewing, but it is absolutely perfect for him, and when you realize why it makes your heart bleed.

1:21 GUYS I can’t be the only one that saw this, his brain came out, and last I check, that’s usually an automatic I am dead, not I am disabled now, And from homelander which was super sad to see, isn’t it possible that he COULD have survived that? He literally got his head bashed and hes about as strong as homelander let alone the fact he was atleast able to make him bleed with just a punch, isn’t it possible Black Noir is alive from this? maybe hes got another PTSD but looking back, if he survived his brain coming out, then maybe having his organs out isn’t really gonna kill him? maybe he just bled out from the loss of blood BUT comes back because hes super human!

[@catattack885]

The fact that Mindstorm punched Soldier Boy 1:01 and drew blood... is kinda scary, that would make him one of the most powerful supes on earth, having not only the power to control the minds of whoever look into his eyes but also injure a man who could withstand (and later generate) a nuclear explosion head on.

Apparent power levels, highest first: Soldier Boy, Homelander, Butcher are highest tier. The rest probably begin an order of magnitude less

[@CassiusSharp]

You know we may not even be seeing the full picture as young Stan Edgar was played by Justiin Davis but in Noir’s flashback he is voiced by Giancarlo Esposito. Sure that may have just been a small oversight but I think it means Noir’s memory was damaged when Soldier Boy bashed his head in with the shield
