I saw the actor a few years ago in a show called Banshee, and he was *such* a different character, all gruff and stoic, I had no idea he could do such amazing crazyface with all the twitching and the rictus smiles. He just looks two seconds away from a complete psychotic meltdown, pretty much constantly. It's intense!

He was just as good an actor there, just less opportunities to demonstrate it.

Love the show and love Starr's performance in general but I don't think this season's storyline is doing him or Homelander any favors by making him so overtly and obviously psychotic in public settings. Part of what I loved about his performance was the way (especially in S1) he could turn on a dime from a Chris Reevish do gooder into a Heath Ledgerish psycho villain. It also raise the question if he's this overtly sinister why Vought considers him any sort of asset and hasn't already had, for example, Black Noir take him out.

Black Noir isn't the same on the show as in the comics, for one. Second, he's not actually harming Vought in any tangible way and is still proving useful. So they feel they still have some sort of control over the situation.

The answer lies in your definition of "overtly sinister." The show seems to be doing a Trump thing with him where his behavior actually raises his popularity with a lot of people which is why Edgar won't get rid of him. (interesting that when he's talking to the suicide girl, he says there is no god, only him in the sky but on stage he tells people to thank Christ for him. I don't think his speech would have gone over as well if he had expressed the first set of thoughts on air) I think it will be interesting to see a Homelander who is actually loved for being himself rather than pretending to be something else. He's only really seen that from Stormfront, and even then he eventually realized she saw something else in him that she wanted to see and not the real him.

Seeing Ep3 end with "Homelight" makes me wonder if they're setting us up for the end of this season and we'll actually see the movie scene play out with Starlight and the Boys (and maybe even some of the 7) gathered against Homelander with Starlight delivering the "breakup" line from the fake trailer. Similar to how the "Girls get it done" scene in their movie played out in last season's finale.

Yeah, Ennis is tame compared to this show.

I think the show is actually getting a bit repetitive with how they depict people exploding. It all seems the same, regardless if it's Termite expanding, Victoria's powers or Crimson Countess's fireballs.
And how in the world was Crimson Countess accepted as a public hero when it seems all her power does is explode people in the most horrific way possible? How would she apprehend a purse snatcher?

It might just be that's one expression of her powers, though.

All the supers have enhanced durability and strength in addition to their extras (like hand blasts.)

Was that established or assumed?

Put a smile on that face
That's how it worked in the comic. That doesn't seem to apply to all supers on the show. A-train, The Deep and Lamp didn't show any above normal human strength.
