It's a Looney-Tunes bloodbath.
Finally we've been able to break through that black armour and step into the mind of the stoic supe. Quite frankly it's a mess in there. It's batshit crazy, Looney Tunes chaos and we're totally here for it. Bring on more cartoon woodland creatures. We'd happily hunker down for an hour of this kind of madness.However this 'Saturday morning, cartoon-watching, soggy cereal, edgy yet gruesome’ kind of episode did more than just leave you with childhood nostalgia .
It seems Noir's history with Soldier Boy may hold the answers to understanding his relationship with Homelander. Unlike with the Seven's current leader, Noir had a difficult relationship with Soldier Boy. Well not difficult for Soldier Boy. He gripped Noir's puppet strings so tightly we're surprised it didn't cut off the blood circulation.Amazon Studios
His alliance with Homelander is likely deliberate and motivated by survival. A tactical decision to create a closeness with Homelander makes more sense than unwavering fealty ‘just because’.
