Can you guys react to Legion Season 2 and 3

[@nancynicolaired979]

@@flotilha935 Preacher just finished its 4th and final season plus it's on AMC The Boys are on Amazon Prime so they have way more leeway as too language and content where as on AMC they really couldn't let loose like they should have been able to to be true to the comic but that being said I would love for someone to react to Preacher!!💯😎🤘

Homelander always looks like he is on the edge, just about to snap which is terrifying for a superman-esque character.

[@superphantom100]

Joshua Oberholtzer have you seen the entire show so far?

[@balmorablue_]

Check out The Plutonian, he makes Homelander seem like the nicest guy.

[@Slaskhask]

@@balmorablue_ We might get to see him if the irredeemable movie is still in production although I haven't read any news about it in a while. I just hope that the Brightburn movie and now with Homelander in the Boys as well didn't put the kibosh on it as they might not wanna go forward with what is essentially yet another Superman gone bad project.

[@Merilirem]

Homelander is more like what Injustice Superman should have been than the angry idiot we got.

[@prometheusn0ir]

IKR!

[@nicholashines2403]

Translucent didn’t take the detonator because he is so confident that he thinks he can read people so perfectly and thought Hughie would never push the trigger. His arrogance in what he thinks is one of his powers is what got him killed

[@guts1258]

I actually never thought of it like that. Interesting take

[@umpalumpa-qw8ru]

Intresting, but wrong ;). Butcher tells Translucent, that if he tries to take the bomb out with his fingers, it will explode.

[@CoDFoXx]

The secret identity thing is more like "not going out with your hero suit on so people don't recognize you instantly". You can still see it's Annie, and her friends probably recognize her, but when you see Annie down the street with regular hair and outfit you're not like "oh it's starlight", because you're so used to the suits.

[@CommodoreMudkip]

Yeah in the next episode Hughie recognises her straight away when he sees her in the suit. People just dont tend to look twice at other people so without the costume she's just another person

[@SpaceAlley]

Or its like now that she is under contract maybe she cant save ppl while off duty. And if she does she needs to have her costume on.

[@Merilirem]

@@SpaceAlley Its just like cops. Cops all look the same when in uniform but you will recognize them if you pay attention. You may not however if they are just walking down the street in a big city with plenty of cops and people who look like them.

[@jstarwars360]

Once I bumped into my D.A.R.E. instructor, yeah we had that program, outside of school. I didn't recognize him because he wasn't wearing his police uniform.

[@homelander1601]

[@zzxp1]

I mean they want them to find him, and the deep does that anyway after. it was more complicated that it needed to be, and translucid not trying to take the detonator was weird.

Man .. I just want to watch more of your reactions to this !!. This show does a great job humanizing characters ( even if they aren’t likable ) but Frenchie is definitely one of the most likable ones as the season progresses . Hughie shows at the end that he does have “the fight “ in him to do this by killing Translucent. Also , Anthony Starr as Homelander is probably the MVP of this show!!.

None of them have a secret identity. Of course people back home know Starlight and her name. But does it matter? Look it like actors.
