Yes. Freckles was a real one. Does two years prior though. Never to be seen. But talked about in episode 5

Season two episode 5. Billys aunties dog, Terror, is hiding with them in the house from Black Noir. The lads get into a scrap but Terror is never harmed

Dolphins in a "SeaWorld" type of facility are discussed/have mentions of abuse in that sort of situation. This happens in Episode 4.

There are bug supes in season 3

Dolphin dies in episode 4

In season 1 there are two main scenes involving a dead animal, with a dolphin and then a lobster. In season 2 there is a whale that dies.

A dead horse in a desert is briefly shown for 2 seconds in Season 2 Episode 5 at 32:18

SEASON 2 SPOILERS sexual violence is a main theme of the show. several main characters are sexual abusers and multiple characters who are victims are intimidated or stalked. the worst of the stalking happens in season 2 season 2 is really distressing because homelander spends it stalking rebecca butcher, living in her house, intimidating her, and lording it over her that she's powerless to stop him S2E2 (28:30 - 30:20) rebecca begs for Vought to help her get away and is refused (very distressing) (35:00) homelander intimidates rebecca S2E3 (7:15) homelander intimidates rebecca

There's a sexual assault and the victim is blamed.

Not on screen but previous child abuse was briefly mentioned in episode 3

yes. a train is a addicted to compound v a drug that enhances your powers when you’re a superhero. he later has a heart attack bc of this.

A-Train and Popclaw are shown injecting themselves with a mysterious substance.

there are scenes that include alcohol in them but one of the characters, queen maeve, is implied to be a recovering alcoholic but relapses. this happens in season 1 ep 5 if im not mistaken

there are a lot of times where a supe kills someone in slow or horrible ways but I didn't catch them all they knock transluscent unconcious with a cattle prod several times, and there's screaming season 2 episode 1 has a disturbing torture mention at 39:40 In S2 E3 (51:00 - 53:00) Stormfront tortures kenji to death while calling him slurs (this one is extremely bad) In S2 E5 (17:30 - 18:30) Kimiko walks into the shop and then rips someone's face off, stabs, breaks bones, it was bad enough that I couldn't watch it

Yes, enough that I would not be able to name all of the instances if I tried. Do not watch the show if you aren’t prepared for creative, gratuitous, frequently surprise violence.

Character shaves all of his body and head hair off in the aftermath of his being sexually assaulted.

To elaborate on the other two comments, it is mentioned in Episode 1 that after A-Train ran through a girl, he accidentally swallowed one of her molars.

There is a scene where someone describes having sex with a ice powered superhero, and her powers activated during the intercourse and his genitals froze, it is not graphic and is only spoken about.

A character burns himself alive late in season 2. He non-graphically burns someone else alive on a security cam in an earlier episode.

In season 2 ep. 1 a character cuts it's own arm to sell to a man who wants to practice cannibalsm

This happens multiple times, to multiple characters, in multiple episodes, in gory detail.

In S2Ep1 someone is paid to let someone else chop their arm off.

season 1 episode 2 hughie punches a wall repeatedly and draws blood (18:00) episode 6 the super-strength woman breaks Mesmer's wrist when he tries to read her mind (there are visions of her snapping people's necks) episode 7 (this one is extremely bad), when Hugie goes to confront A-Train he distracts him while Kimiko sneaks up on him and breaks his leg (about 20 minutes in episode 8, 15 minutes in, Kimiko flees the SWAT guys and breaks several of their bones before she's caught season 2 episode 1 at 30:00 we see someone's mutilated arm S2 E3 (51:00 - 53:00) Stormfront crushes Kenji's hands and then snaps his neck while calling him slurs (this one is extremely bad) In S2 E5 (17:30 - 18:30) Kimiko walks into the shop and then rips someone's face off, stabs, breaks bones, it was bad enough that I couldn't watch it

s1 episode 3 frenchie mentions his dad almost "smothered" him as a kid (it's treated as a joke) S2 E3 (30:00) Stormfront crushes Kenji's hands, chokes him, and snaps his neck while calling him slurs

Transluscent gets electrocuted a lot to knock him out

Season 3, Homelander coerces a young girl to jump off a building.

season 2 ep 8 stormfront gets stabbed in the eye. other scenes involve fingers gauging out eyes involving in death.

A Train's legs get snapped, and Transparents bones fly all over the place following a C4 explosion.

You do not see it but your witness the child asking to be saved and she isn’t.

episode 4 they find a woman with superpowers locked in a cell who was trafficked frenchie opens up to her later in the episode about how he was kidnapped by his father

Episode 4 of the first season features a plane crash with children on board. A little girl holds a Disney-looking plastic baby doll in her arms, and you just keep seeing this girl clutching her doll while the passengers beg for their lives. The child ultimately dies, and you can tell because there’s a heartbreaking closeup of the now ruined doll among the debris from the crash.

A plane goes down with a father and son inside. There are no survivors.

Robin is shown as a hallucination numerous times.

Robin suddenly dies after A-Train accidentally collides with her, leaving blood and gore in his wake. The scene is incredibly sudden and comes straight after a sweet moment between Robin and Hughie.

season 1 episode 1 at 54:30 butcher spits blood at Transluscent S2E2 (56:00) butcher punches hughie and he spits blood on the ground

Too much to list here, basically in every fight scene. It's incredibly violent.

Season 1 Episode 1: In the opening scene when an armoured truck is being destroyed, a man gets out of the truck and v*s onto the ground. It is not graphic but still visible. A young woman suddenly and audibly v*s into a toilet roughly 20 minutes in, however v* is not shown, you only see her knees under a toilet stall. Season 1 episode 7: A man v*s into a trash can somewhere between 9 and 9:30 mins after running on a track. V* is visible for about a second and very audible. Season 1 episode 8: A young woman is seen flirting drunkenly with a man at an event. She excuses herself and there is a sudden cut to her audibly V* into a toilet, however v* not shown. Season 2 episode 6: During CCTV footage, a man is shown v* acid onto a bed. This is sudden and visible through grainy CCTV footage. Characters are shown being trapped in a room in a hospital and one character decides to open the door. The acid v* man enters the room and v*s towards a man and then on himself. Look away for about 45 seconds to be safe. Graphic and unpleasant to watch.

Much of the show is commentary on how police and other powerful people abuse that power.

Murder by drug overdose. Multiple syringes.

EP 05, at 39:40

Ep 02, from 05:00 to 06:39 shows a kid with cancer in a "make-a-wish" situation

Starlight is recovering from bulimia. it's rarely mentioned but she relapses briefly in season 1 episode 1, 30 minutes in, immediately after the lines "they're fucking laughing" "so what are you going to do about it?" S1E2 40 minutes starlight's manager yells at her because people are mocking her eating disorder on social media episode 4 in the mall scene butcher makes a passing joke about clothes for anorexics

Becca says to Homelander that if he kills Butcher, She will kill herself in front of Homelander’s son and say it’s his fault.

Everyone does.

Many of the main characters are mentally ill, and most of them are violent as hell given the nature of this show

Hughie has multiple anxiety and anger attacks relating to the death of his girlfriend, Robin. If you see A train on screen along with Hughie expect anger to happen.

Body Dysmorphia Disorder is a body-image disorder characterized by persistant and intrusive preoccupations with an imagined or slight defect in one's appearance. This means that the afflicted person cannot stop thinking negatively about their appearance, or aspects of it. It has nothing to do with shapeshifting. The Deep has serious body dysmorphia and depression because of his gills, and being assaulted in season 1 episode 7 makes it worse. In season 2 episode 2 he's given a drug that makes him hallucinate that his gills are talking to him, and they give him a long talk about how he has to learn to accept his body the way it is. His distress is very intense. In S2E3 (44:00) Homelander calls him disgusting and tells him to cover up

Season 1 episode 4 11 minutes in an insignificant character shoots them self in the head in a brief but graphic shot ( if you look away until u hear a gun shot or skip to 11.30 you’ll miss it ) Also in season 2 episode 7 a character k**** themself at the 38 minute mark

A baby cries throughout the final scene of Season 1. The mother (who is tied up) begs for the baby to be moved to another room but she is ignored.

Please, be careful watching s02e05, after scene in the daylight on the movie set there is a quick cut to club scene with strobe lights.

S02E05 - very intense, direct, sudden strobe after hard cut, around 6min mark, right after Homelander shuts trailer door, for about two minutes. There is no epilepsy warning before the show or any ease-in before scene, if not for a friend who saw it earlier and warned me it would give me seizure as there is no time for reaction and closing one/both eyes is not enough to block it - it is INTENSE.

Becca almost miscarries following the birth of Johns child.

To clarify, the death mentioned in the previous comment is a lie told by a character and the woman didn’t die, however you are still visually shown this death in a fake flashback as if it’s real and it’s not confirmed to be a lie until several episodes later.

Becca is shown in a graphic scene in labour, and blood spills all over the floor. It is explained that the fetus developed unusually fast due to it being homelanders child.

Robin, Hughies girlfriend dies at the start of the show in graphic detail.

A blind man is very graphically assaulted by a major character for being a "cripple" in 2x01.

Doppelganger is nonbinary and dies at the end of S2 E4 (skip 1:02:00 to the end)

a character in season 2 is a nazi

Following the plane crash after the plane is hijacked by Arab terrorists, Homelander gives an impassioned speech at a Christian expo about how much he would love to go to the Middle East and kill them all.

Doppelgänger is nonbinary and uses they/them and when they show Senator Calhoun their true form he calls them he

Not so much in the first 2 seasons, but Homelander constantly makes fun of A-Train about gaining weight in season 3

There is sex scenes shown almost every episode.

Gonna say no but Homelander seems to have an Oedipus complex thing happening with Stillwell in season one where he sees her as a mother figure and a romantic/sexual partner. In season 2 he finds a bottle of her breast milk and drinks it which is continuing to be a weird obsession with milk throughout the show. He is also jealous of her baby for a time, like an older sibling would be. (SPOILERS) He had Doppelganger morph into her after her death to enact fantasies with. Just definitely some weird pseudo-incest stuff happening that is worth a warning.

Female character is coerced into performing oral sex on a male character. Male character is tricked into sex by a shape-shifting character who makes him wear a blindfold and then shifts back into male shape and films the encounter. Male character is assaulted by a female character - genitals aren't involved, but it is clearly presented as and intended as a sexual assault and accompanied by upsetting dialogue.

at the beginning of the first episode Maeve uses her body to stop a getaway van that was about to hit some kids i'm sure there are others

A plane is deliberately destroyed in flight.

A truck crashes in Episode 1. A dolphin dies while being thrown out of a stolen van which later crashes.

Numerous instances although because they are mostly used on completely bulletproof characters who have literally no physical or emotional reaction to being shot, there are very few instances of any injuries or deaths caused by guns. The closest I can think of is starlight being shot twice and knocked over by the recoil.

Not exactly, but in season 3, Soldier Boy’s cover-story for his death involved an explosion at a nuclear power plant

SPOILERS- The show starts with the graphic blowing apart of Hughie’s girlfriend, The Female kills her victims by beating them to a pulp, Popclaw crushes her landlord, One character is blown up via plastic explosives inside him, Supers maim alotof people, etc...
