We have to start with , right? Or do we immediately unpack the jaw-dropping sight Frenchie (Tomer Capone) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) stumble onto? No, let that simmer for a bit while we circle back to episode two’s major cameo. It turns out A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) is getting a biopic starring.
..A-Train! It’s a rugged, overdramatic take on his life.
He doesn’t love his brother’s portrayal in it, but who cares? Certainly not the director (played by P.J. Byrne), who assures him the sensitivity readers approve the changes.
And anyway, his concern isn’t the movie’s lead. It’s co-star Ferrell, who cameos as A-Train’s sympathetic coach. He’s the sweet white man striving to get a Black hero’s life back on track.
In the world of , this (I assume Vought-sponsored movie) is Ferrell’s Oscar-bait role. You simply have to laugh. This little stunt also explains why Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) is still around and talking.
It’s not the Noir because Homelander (Anthony Starr) gutted him for not revealing the truth about his parentage. Instead, this is an actor Vought hired to play him, presumably so no one finds out their problematic fave killed a colleague. The fake Noir is also in A-Train’s film, struggling to get into character because absolutely no one is being helpful.
The advice he gets is to literally shut up. But how has he quickly come to terms with the fact that he someone in episode one? I hope we see the person behind Noir’s mask after he works so cl.
