Parents need to know that Swiss Family Robinson is a 1960 Disney movie in which an 18th-century family on a boat bound for New Guinea shipwreck on a deserted island. Although there's no bloodshed, the violence looks real as the Robinsons do battle with a wide array of animals (sharks, tigers, snakes, etc.), as well as pirates. The pirates who attack the family appear as Asian stereotypes. A teen girl is stereotyped as a helpless damsel unable to survive in the wild without the help of the teen boys. The Robinsons fight, kill, and injure the pirates with swords, rifles, and a variety of improvised defenses such as homemade grenades, explosives, rocks, logs, and a pit occupied by a tiger. Animal lovers will dislike the way the youngest child captures wild animals to keep for himself. The teen brothers joke that by the time they get off the island, they won't care what age the women they see are.
Filmed entirely on location in Fiji and New Zealand, starring Richard Thomas (The Waltons) this 1998 adaptation of John Wyss's 1812 novel about a shipwrecked family stands out for its heart, humor, and human drama. Plus the palm trees, white sandy beaches, and crystalline waters are real. "I am proud of being part of such a worthwhile family series," Thomas has said. "My kids and I love it." 36 episodes. 13 hrs, 6 DVDs.

We've already seen the deadly consequences of that drug in those three episodes, with Billy Butcher going on a superhuman rampage and battling the physical side effects. In more ways than one, the series seems to be putting Billy and his team on a path that more closely mirrors the original comic book series. Let's take a closer look at what exactly V24 is, why it makes sense to put a superhuman Billy Butcher in play and why Billy (probably) isn't the only character gaining powers this season.
Homelander himself is a worst-case scenario. Compound V has transformed him into a godlike being who can decimate entire cities in the blink of an eye. Keeping Homelander happy and out of trouble requires a full-time staff and a very delicate hand. And whereas the comics revealed Vought has a secret failsafe against Homelander in the form of Black Noir, Season 3's Iran-Contra flashback has finally confirmed this isn't the case in the TV series.
Perhaps the single biggest difference between the TV series and the original comics is that the latter depicts every member of Billy's team as having superpowers. In the TV series, only Kimiko has thus far been given a permanent power boost courtesy of Compound V.
