I don't think it's necessarily because of the company itself. I think what mostly effects Homelanders psych is his upbringing. The fact that he is now fully in charge and no longer manipulated is something that I think homelander sees as a positive.

@@profilenotfound2525 Except, Homelander is a malignant narcissist. The thing he most cares about is how he is perceived by the public. He cannot stop caring about his popularity, because he sees himself through that popularity

No i dont think he is heartbroken because i think he planned this if you read comic you will understand yeah i know comic and show different but actually this scene very similar to comic and just like his character and actions very similar to his comic version
It's because he knows what he is exactly doing and doesn't step foot on the gas pedal too hard. Unlike Homelander, Edgar himself stays at the very thin line before it breaks and still knows how to cover up for the entire company with ease.
A nice detail is how they added a lot more scenes where Homelander uses his super-senses and x-ray vision. "Unbeliveable. 80 over 60." These tiny powers can usually be forgotten about in Superman but with Homelander, they add a nice tension to character interactions because of a simple overstep in privacy.
@@hammer.11011 Blood pressure. I'm not smart when it comes to medical stuff but it's that thing they put on your arm at the doctor's office that fills with air and puffs up. 80 over 60 means that Stan is completely calm. He's always been completely calm even in the face of a monster like Homelander which makes Homelander scared of Edgar because nothing he can do makes him panic. I.e. Raise is blood pressure or heartbeat per minute.

@@jimmcneal5292 that's not what insecurity means in this context. Homelander cares about what other people think about him, he's afraid they won't LIKE him, even tho they pose NO threat to him. That's what it means for him to be insecure.
@@williamh7786he’s basically Stillwell. They gender swapped him in the first season but then they had the problem of not having the actual character available…so they just used this guy instead. He fills the same role imo
I love the fact that Homelander can’t kill him because killing him would be proving everything Edgar said about him right. Reminds me of how Batman killing the Joker would be the Joker winning.
That's because Batman respects the sanctity of human life, with the Bale iteration saying it's what separates him and makes him different from The Element. Homelander, by comparison, has an atavistic compulsion to be shown anything that remotely resembles love and whacking Stan would cost him that.
My favorite part about the Boys is the relationship between Edgar and Homelander. No matter how clever or in control Homelander feels or acts Edgar is always there to put him back into his place with nothing more then a few words and a sarcastic smile. In many ways it makes Homelander even more scary because it shows he's never really in control of any situation and someone who's that powerful but never really in control makes him far more dangerous then someone who is because you never really know how he's going to react.
"Losing" the company to Homelander could be a part of his "five year plan" he talked in the 1st episode of the season. Would be nice plot twist, even if a predictable one.
@@FulfillMyWillhe’s smart, he probably expected this. Homelander just gave him the easiest out he could’ve imagined. Probably has millions stored away.
What makes Stan so effective against Homelander is he's never trying to actually insult him. Homelander is always trying to get a rise ofnsime kind out of Stan (like a child) whereas Stan is simply being honest about what he believes and/or what needs to he done in the company. That's why ol in this scene Homelander loses: he's trying to hurt Stan's feelings, but Stan is simply telling the truth. And as the old saying goes: truth hurts.
Surely, Stan Edgar and Gustavo "Gus" Fring does share same sort of attitude and identity. Both of em' aren't scared of anyone, and you can't just withstand their intelligence. I don't know if it just probably me or it is because that's the attitude which Giancarlo has while playing his characters.
@@throwback19841Considering his previous roles never fully exploited his potential when he gets serious, it's obvious that he really likes playing these characters. It pays well and it cements his reputation further as the guy everyone imagines as the villain who can't be beaten normally without proving his point or causing irreversible issues. All-in-all, he's found his calling within his calling. Very few actors manage to do so properly. Instead they are all over the place (Nicolas Cage... Adam Sandler...)
I love the difference between what Homelander tells the rest of the 7 vs what Stan tells Homelander in season 2, Homelander tells them that Vaught is a purely superhero company, and that it deserves to be ran by superheroes. While in reality, what Stan tells Homelander the opposite, that they are a weapons/pharma company and that it should be ran by businessman.
Homelander is pretty smart. It just so happens he's playing against even starter adversaries. But smarts+demigodhood+insecurity is a very dangerous combination.
All this scene shows is that homelander plays checker and Edgar plays 3d chess. Edgar is right, as I feel homelander’s grip on power will soon be coming to an end, but the character doesn’t realize this.
Something about the way the fans love Stan Edgar's badass-ness really rubs me the wrong way. Homelander is bad product, but... he's Vought's product. They created him, shaped him into the psychopathic manchild he is today, and are responsible for every bad thing he's ever done. Homelander is a monster, but Stan Edgar was happy to unleash this monster onto the world, for profit.
For what it's worth, I don't think anyone sees Edgar as morally or ethically superior to Homelander in any way. People think he's cool because he's much smarter than Homelander and is cruel enough to put even the most powerful Supe in the world in his place.
I don’t think it’s fair to put Homelander’s failures as a superhero on Edgar. He had no way of knowing or a reason to assume he would turn out the way he did.
I don't know the exact timeline, but I think homelander was already born (and thus no longer an avertable issue) by the time Edgar became CEO. We know he was just a middle-management type when soldier boy was abducted.
Aw they cut off how loudly Edgar slams the glass down as he leaves. It makes it look like hes fleeing as soon as he insults Homelander, then slams the glass to make sure he knows not to forget he isnt scared.
When Homelander taunted him about the habit of "temporary" leaves of absence becoming permanent, I half-expected Edgar to say something like "Indeed they do, especially after a fiasco like this. Can you imagine how SUPERHUMANLY incompetent any successor would have to be for the board and investors to want me back in charge?"
The funny thing is what Edgar says to Homelander about not having anything to approve of is basically the same as when Solider Boy later calls him a disappointment. Both of his daddys not being happy with the finished product.
stan is obviously a villain but man it is hard to hate him he is a ruthless pragmatist, like Tywin Lannister without irrational hatred for Tyrion, and I wish he would get more screentime

Don’t worry guys Stan’s doing fine I heard he started up a A Fast Food Company in Chile After this Incident. Apparently he’s doing quite well for himself!
"The company is yours. No one left to stand up to you, but I think you'll come to sorely regret that." And thus his prediction was spot on...
"I'm surrounded by sycophants and imbeciles. Not one of you has the stomach to challenge anything I say."
I don't think it's necessarily because of the company itself. I think what mostly effects Homelanders psych is his upbringing. The fact that he is now fully in charge and no longer manipulated is something that I think homelander sees as a positive.

This is the moment Homelander realized Stan Edgar is not to be truffled with.
“Where would it even go? “ love it 😂
0:26 confirmation that Gus is indeed the most powerful Amongus
Man, the acting in this show really is top-notch
I met Giancarlo Esposito at my local Comic-Con, hard to believe that he is actually funny and eccentric.
I love the blatant disrespect he gives Homelander completely ignoring him and then just cutting him off love that little detail
Homelander can hear stan's heartbeat and knows for sure that he's not afraid of him
Season 4 twist Stan goes all out helping the Boys "Well, certainly I play all sides as well. Enjoy"
Don’t worry guys Stan’s doing fine I heard he started up a A Fast Food Company in Chile After this Incident. Apparently he’s doing quite well for himself!
Let's hope he doesn't get break bad by a chemistry teacher
His silence pauses are golden.
I get the sense that Stan saw Homelander as subhuman the whole time.
Stan’s power is in dealing emotional damage with 100% crit rate
"What would that do? Where would it even go?" a small line, but a powerful one to be sure
Homelander at the end almost hit him with the 🛎️ 🛎️ 🛎️ 💥
1:35 why was he so proud of himself for getting the perfect situation to say that line💀
He is Homelander’s daddy, Homelander was seriously trying to get a response from Stan like how a son does when his dad goes quiet.
"What kind of senator talks to a supe? No senator. No senator at all."
-Gustavo Edgar
"A bad product. What a reputation to leave behind. Is that how you want to be remembered? Last chance to look at me, Homelander."
-Stan Fring
Gus left without being blown to bits
Superhero company? Here I thought Vaught was a pharmaceutical company.
Giancarlo Esposito is the epitome of chilling when he speaks low and controlled like this
