I have never seen or heard that Pepsi commercial, but figured A Train's commercial was a knock on something in real life. This show does such a good job of making fun of all sides

Running real fast (but sub-infinite speed, like A-Train) means moving from point A to point B while still occupying each point between A and B however briefly during the journey.ABATTBQ11 said:Zeke1995 said:Mathguy64 said:

This show does a great job of bashing all sides of the social and political spectrum. It's great satire.
They are also doing a great job of making everyone bad in a way that's ironic. Butcher getting Homelander powers and now Hughie getting A Train speed. They become those they most hate.
I thought Hughie teleported, which is why his jump suit got left behind and he had to stand around naked for a bit.
Teleportation = Infinite speed
Clothes and underwear remaining behind (yet untorn and not shredded) at point A and hanging in mid-air for a second before falling to the floor while you arrive at point B completely nude = something other than running real fast.
Running vs teleporting has nothing to do with it.
Speed = d/t
Speed = (A-B) / (t(A)-t(B))
Where t(A) = t(B), (A-B)/(t(A)-t(B)) = (A-B)/0 = infinity
Where delta t is 0, speed is infinite.
As to the, "Teleportation would be moving from point A to point B while not occupying any point between A and B at any point during the journey," if you were to move from A to B in 0 t, you would actually occupy every point between A and B at t(n), with n being the instant of your move. Don't forget, you are moving through spacetime, which has 4 dimensions. In this hypothetical case, you are moving through the (x,y,z) dimensions and not the (t) dimension.. Think of it like drawing a line in 3D space that is perpendicular to the z axis. Your line is in an (x,y) plane but occupying a single z for all of its points. If you tried to find a location on your line where z=n, all points would satisfy the condition and your line would occupy all (x,y) points between A and B at z=n. In that same vein, if you move through (x,y,z,t) space for a single t, you occupy all (x,y,z) points between A and B for all t(n). Thus, if you were to teleport, you don't occupy 0 points between A and B, you occupy ALL points between A and B.
Your fancy equations and such don't explain why the guy ended up at point B nekkid. And if you say that the jumpsuit was not the same as A-Train's high-performance fabric and therefore could not tolerate the stresses of the journey, then the jumpsuit would have been torn to shreds during the journey instead of left in mid-air at point A.

Because he can only move himself.
F=MA
F=Mass * (delta V / delta t)
F=Mass * (V1 -V2 / 0)
F=0
If delta t = 0 then Hughie can't exert a force on his clothes or anything else as he moves to move it with him.
ETA
A-Train's suit moves with him because he maintains a delta t and exerts a force on it the same as if he were walking. At A-Train's small delta t he exerts great forces and as t approaches 0, F approaches infinity, but F=0 for t=0.
no

I'm about to pop some heads in here.

Just watch the latest episode - Hughie says he teleported.
And did so with a butt-cheek-clinching.
Just got done and had some thoughts:
1. Love how they are showcasing Hughies journey with addiction. When butcher pops open the trunk the tempV and Hughie has a perfect reaction of somebody struggling with addiction and not even knowing it yet.
2. Frankly, I think it was stupid to show soldier boy going to the airport and implying he flew home. He's a super hero; show him swimming across the Atlantic at near supersonic speeds. Or show him cape fear'ing his way home holding on to the Boys plane. That's more believable than him flying commercial out of Russia to the US.
3. There's a season 4 and the way homelander drives this series while growing (more unhinged) as a character, I can't imagine him dying. He's really leaning into the business side of things, so maybe he kills soldier boy but loses his power and turns into a Stan Edgar figure. Or maybe he just takes TempV everyday to maintain his powers. Have no idea but it seems a little odd that they're showing him caring so much about the business side even mentioning the EBITDA to starlight when it caused him to lose his **** earlier in the show. Maybe he took Stan's words to heart about what true power is.
4. Maeve's alive, right? Was that Black Noir that bagged her?
5. Seth Rogens cameo and screen name lol.

Senator Graham is a gooch licker.
I cannot believe they actually said that. I literally died laughing.

Huey was able to open the jar, does TempV have some lasting effects? I'm guessing that will come back to play later on.
It was Black Noir that grabbed Maeve.

They are getting too on the nose with the trump/Homelander analogy. The taco salad was great because it was subtle and fit the scene. The "I'm joking" and "locker room talk" bits were a little heavy handed but fine.
the boardroom/cabinet meeting and the deep/ratcliffe bits were way too on the nose

The musical was a surprising change and not terrible.
Butcher is a braver man than I am. No way I'd bang a sup without being on temp-v. Don't want to end up in a support group.

Could have done without the black lives matter/all lives matter Trenton policing argument trope, but otherwise the episode was nails. I just can't with A-Train's storyline.
I get that they are lampooning horrible messaging and apology tours but again too on the nose.
Had a hard time explaining how hilarious Jamie the hamster was at Petco this morning to the kids.

Oh, my wild guess is the Soldier Boy takes Homelander's powers and the end of season 3 is the Boys killing SB somehow. season 4 is Homelander getting his powers back or what was previously said about being CEO. Maybe Ashley becines a supe or gets killed this season.
Butcher and Maeve was not a pairing I saw coming. They've really turned Maeve into a background character this season. Surprising, especially after she took out Black Noir last season.

The scene was exaggerated sure but it did a perfect job of satirizing every police press conference after shooting an unarmed black person.
What made it even funnier to me was literally every phrase he said right before the brawl is said constantly on f16. Even funnier is that the news caption of the even blamed it on antifa, which is straight out of that boards playbook. If I had never read the F16 board that scene wouldn't have been near as funny to me.
I thought that him opening the jar for himself was showing that he's decided to stop being a little wimp that relies on his girlfriend to take care of him.AtlAg05 said:

Eh, I disagree. Those tropes existed before Trump and apply more broadly.
I dunno, I kind of agree with the poster who said this:Duncan Idaho said:

I love this show and how over the top it is. The swipes at Disney, marvel, cable news, the military industrial complex just all great
But I'm gonna sit over here and wait for the posts complaining about the "this show is libtard anti-maga crap" posts.
The entire point of the satire on this show is to be "on the nose". They literally remade a Kendall Jenner/Pepsi cartoon and effectively mocked it. They are trying to show (in my opinion) that all of the outrage that folks feel is essentially controlled messaging by corporate interests. You ID as liberal, there is a commercial product available for that. You ID as conservative, there is a commercial product available for that. The corporate suits don't care about your beliefs, they just care about making money.
But sure, its the Trump stuff that is too on the nose.
Why could you have done without the police part? Did you feel the same way about the lampooned Pepsi commercial? What about the lampooning of the LGBT issues last season?Emotional Support Cobra said:

Haha! Ouch!
Also I just started reading Dune the other day for the first time and oddly enough yesterday saw your TexAgs username in print.
Psst.i was referring to the two quotes of mine in his post...not you

Wonder if it will live up to the hype. Between the comic version and all the promotion of it by the actors and Amazon this week, should be pretty wild.
Holy *****.....
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Well that episode lived up to the hype!
That was ****ing awesome!
This is the kind of episode that I feel pushes a show from great to an all-timer. The Boys has been popular, but it has never really gained much traction in overall pop culture like the way a show like Stranger Things or GoT has. I still meet people all the time that have never heard of it. Some of that might be Amazon Prime Video not being as popular as HBO or Netflix, but I think this episode is what pushes it into becoming the most talked about show at the water cooler.
Hell of an episode.

Teleportation = Infinite speed
Hughie teleporting vs A-Train running is really just going from point A to point B in time T. They're both traveling. Hughie just does it in T=0 (a time A-Train could only dream of) hence the comment that teleportation is just infinite speed since speed = d/(t2-t1) and speed = infinity when t=0. To the original point, Hughie gets powers that make him a version of what he hates most, A-Train, by making him infinitely fast. You can say he teleported, but you can also say he traveled infinitely fast because he travelled instantaneously. They're one and the same.
