@@jeyrm Homelander is x1000 times worse. He kills people just for saying mean things or looking at him funny. Hughey betrayed soldier boy and only got a light punch in the face.
Maybe it’s just Jensen Ackles’ charisma, but I never bought into Soldier Boy being as bad as him. Obviously he was the Homelander predecessor & everyone hated him. We saw in the animation & thru his subtle insults/threats that he’s definitely not a good person. It just seemed more logical to let him take out Homelander because they can just gas Soldier Boy at anytime, plus he seems more tame nowadays. Homelander is a wild tornado that has no known weakness. They should’ve let him pulled the trigger because now they’re in an even worse state than they were when the season started. All they did was remove a problem they released & now there are lasting consequences.
What happened at the end was that Ryan got a taste of adoration and he liked it, them cheering him and worshipping him. Homelander told him he is better than everyone and should be treated that way, not hiding. He got a taste.
Antony Starr deserves 1000 Emmy’s for this show. One he should get simply for his delivery of the line “you know it wasn’t your fault, right?” To Ryan at the start. What a genuine moment of compassion from him trying to comfort his son. It’s too bad it was followed by horrific advice about breaking things, but there was a single moment where a true, loving father came through.
@@gilgameshricardo3867 I agree, but seeing as he's supposed to be as strong as Homelander, I'm OK with that. Hopefully this is only the beginning of a growth in her power!
The way he was staring at Noir's helmet, I'd say A-Train leaves the Seven and joins The Boys next season. Also, with the way Homelander rushed to Ryan's aid with his back to Soldier Boy knowing full well he's the biggest threat he's ever faced as well as telling him to go upstairs during the fight, I really believe he loves Ryan as his son. And that love will eventually lead to Homelander's downfall. Ryan will be his weakness. Butcher will probably exploit it.
Yeah, I feel like Marketa got the wrong message from Homelander bringing Ryan. He wanted to show SB that they can be a family together, which he wanted from the beginning
A-Train joining The Boys is a good theory, but I don't think that was the point of the scene. The point of that shot with Black Noir's helmet was to show the hypocrisy in Homelanders words as he's lecturing A-Train about killing "one of their own"
It would be great to have A-Train on the Boys' side, but I think it will take a lot more for that to happen. A-Train has always been about staying in his lane and doing what he knows. He would be pretty lost working for the Boys; for one, he'd be operating in the shadows when he's used to the spotlight and showbiz. Secondly, I doubt he has any faith in them being able to actually succeed in anything, and his main thing is self-preservation. Lastly, as much as he hates Homelander, Ashley, and the Deep, at least he can relate to them, they speak the same language.

Yeah its terrifying because it could very realistically happen in real life. And stuff like that has happened in real life. There are people out there who will follow their idols no matter what they do, even if they murdered someone right in front of them.

Suraj and Rana I like your positive take at 41:00 onward, but it would definitely get cheered if some politician shot a protester at a rally. This show does exaggerate it, but stuff like this happens in real life (as Marketa and Micky said). I think it has to do a lot with the dehumanization of "the others", which is something that happens in a lot of places (not only the far-right does it, even if they're great at it).
@@Pyramanager you're just doing what I commented about. Don't dehumanize just because you have a certain political ideology. And as far as I know, Jan 6th wasn't done by left-wingers. Charlottesville wasn't done by left-wingers. All the killings of unarmed black men, mentally ill people, homeless people, the attacks on LGBT people, etc haven't been done by left-wingers.
NO, Homelander did not use him as a shield. He wanted to show Soldier Boy that they could be a family. Soldier Boy talked about being a father and family. But of course Marketa would see it that way and folks who just think EVERYTHING is propaganda or agenda based, except what you agree with, which is literally the same thing and what it is for.
MM shotgun actually packed more of a punch, it knocked SB back along wit Starlights blast when they arrived and cracked his shield enough for Butcher to break it in a punch
@@Maria-xd8yc I’m referring to the scene between Kimiko and Ryan at the beginning of this season, and the journey the mentalities they develop in the last episode
Put yourself in Ryan's shoes and Homelander has only ever shown him love and forgiveness. (ok sure, he pushed Ryan off a roof but he was right, Ryan was fine and he really can fly) Ryan craves love, as we all do, and Butcher hasn't given it, Malory was just a caretaker, but Homelander really does love him. Ryan couldn't have chosen any other course, he had to pick Homelander.
“If She’s Not Dead Then Soldier Boy’s Not Dead” 🤔 Ofcourse Soldier Isn’t Dead, Why Would He Be? He’s Blown Up Like 10 Times This Season, So Why Would He Die Now?
Ryan is def not too young to understand what is going on. He cares about Butcher AND Homelander. At the end, he isn’t smiling about the murder itself but being in the spotlight and protected. He still has a lot of potential to be a “good person” but vice versa as well.
@@punkypony5165I know but it’s so hard like he’s such a downer in every video he’s in for cheering for the villain and suits up in Homelander gear, Pat is like the Todd in the Normies
Here is the thing Butcher could've tried put Ryan away from Homelander the fight would've last longer but it still would've been 3v1 but he decided to attack Soldier Boy instead. He could just said to Soldier to let the kid go. Soldier Boy always listened to them everytime Butcher or Hughie wanted him to not kill someone that wasn't his prime target that's why MM and Annie aren't dead this season. Butcher was just stupid. Soldier Boy, did everything right by the Butcher book, the guy straight told the truth about being Homelander father. That's honesty right there with his allies. Which is more than they did with him.
True man,SB is the only man who keep doing the right thing in this episode.And somebody claims he’s heartless..😅If SB is heartless,then HL is 100 times worse than the demon himself
I wasn't watching when this started. I was just listening. When I heard all of you scream at the beginning, I knew it was Black Noir's death. I saw it coming and it still hurt
The ending is basically inspired by Trump's comment about shooting someone and his supporters will still love and support him. Because that how cult of personality works.
Which you have to be a idiot to think that's how the world works. People's reaction to someone making a joke that everyone knows is a joke and their reaction to the actual subject of the joke happening will be different. The writer's don't seem to know the difference.
SB seems to be way stronger in this episode than he was in episode 6. Is it because he had already fired his blast prior to the 1st fight with Homelander fight? I think soldier boy from this episode could've beaten Homelander 1v1.
I'm not convinced there's anything Homelander could even do to hurt him. In this finale episode, he literally lasered Soldier Boy right in the eyes. It didn't even affect him... And we've seen those lasers cut a 747 in half. Ryan's lasers turned Stormfront into pulled pork, and he's nowhere near as strong as Homelander... yet. Personally, if I was Homelander, I'd grab Soldier Boy while he's knocked out by the nerve gas, fly him to the moon, and just leave him there. He'd be stuck there for eternity with no way to escape, because he can't fly.
@@fluffylittlebear I think Homelander needs air too. It'll take days for him to get to the moon lol. Remember this is a realistic show that just happens to incorporate supes.
@@zangetsu1597 Well we know he's flown to space before. Homelander flies several times the speed of sound inside Earth's atmosphere, and in space he could accelerate indefinitely. I think he could reach the moon in minutes. Or just throw Soldier Boy at the moon.
I think Soldier Boy was undecided on how he would handle Homelander until he saw him face to face the last time. It didn't seem like he was using his own Father's words just to insult him.. I think he got to look at him and he understood what his Dad saw in him. That desperate desire for attention from him. I honestly sounded like he made him sick. He turned out to be just another disappointment. At least he put forth the energy to beat his ass a little bit.
I hope someone at Vought managed to save Black Noir, my guy was able to survive getting his head town open so I'm sure if they fixed him up he can come back, his ending just didn't feel satisfying. I hope him and Stan Edgar return together, know it's just wishful thinking though.
My parents are Haitian and we used to drink Malta (a Caribbean molasses soda) and Carnation evaporated milk together on ice and it is by far the greatest thing ever. It was def a huge childhood favorite of mine.
I saw it in an interview where Kripke suggested that he will "recast" new Noir and Nate Mitchell the actual Noir will play him (that's why the younger version is played by a different actor) so the "new" Noir can show his face or he will play a different character...
Homelander bringing his son was not him hiding behind Ryan, it was him hoping Soldier Boy would be convinced to be a family, something he's always wanted.
THAT ENDING WAS THE REASON WHY SOLDIER BOY NEEDED TO KILL HOMELANDER WHATEVER IT TOOK, EVEN KILLED RYAN. I'M WITH CHRIS IN THIS ONE!!! Also, how come Rana is still stoopid with all notes she's keeping?
If only butcher actually had a plan with the other stating that he was gonna betray soldier boy afterwards, because that's something he can do after his fight with homelander. Just stand back a bit wait till soldier boy is a bit injured and jump homelander. Have frenchie take temp v (bro took coke at the start of the episode replace that with a needle filled with temp v), then starlight, maeve, kimiko, butcher, soldierboy and temp v frenchie just brutally jump homelander. When Ryan come in have one of them take him to safety, homelander would allow this and continue fighting homelander. Then after the fight jump soldier boy, its not that hard. I do say mm argument against temp v is so bad, the same thing can be said about guns and weapons yet he uses them fine. Bros acting like taking temp v is making a deal with the devil, ethically speaking mm has done worse in his life.
Flash can totally beat Superman under the correct circumstances. Depending on the continuity, dude could straight up create a separate timeline where Superman never existed.
Don't think Meave is out of the game, if anything i think they hinted at whats coming. When they are evacuating Ashley(ceo) denies Ashley(subordinate) a seat on the VIP escape, then later we see them both erasing the security footage of Meave with Ashley(ceo) basically giving Ashley(subordinate) the 'don't tell anyone' look. Which to me foreshadows that it will come out (blackmail,leaked,leverage) and Meave will either be hunted down by Homelander or be forced to take V again to regain powers.
No, they are 2 different people. The other Ashley is from the tech department and the girl who couldn't get on the helicopter is CEO Ashley's secretary.
"Flash can't beat Superman in a race" Superman brought that up just before Flashpoint, to which the flash said the races in which he lost to Superman were for charity, and then promptly light speed boomed the hell out of there.
Ryan 100% went with Homelander to make sure he didn't kill Butcher or hurt any of the other Boys, don't underestimate his ability to understand the severity of the situation. He's a kid not a toddler. And he also went because he has side with his dad, why wouldn't he? His dad never lied to him or treated him horribly. The worst he has ever done to Ryan was refer to him in a negative way to butcher right after he killed Stormfront. And also it was his bad for introducing his psycho girlfriend to him and got his mom killed. Other than that, not too bad. And Homelander fully accepts him and can personally sympathize with his superpowers.
Homelander brought Ryan here to meet his grandpa and be a family. Your the ones assuming he was trying to use him as a shield. Once danger started he immediately told Ryan to leave
What's crazy is that I loved the rawness of Banshee but totally didn't realize that was the same actor. Totally felt like an idiot. I really couldn't see it til just recently.
I was watching this video and then my neighbor came and we watched it together. He said this video really changed his life and it touched my heart. My village people are so grateful. Am proud to say cool video . Wow thanks for sharing.
What I thought was the only bummer of the episode other than Noir dying was Annies massive power up that was so anti-climactic and the only thing it did was shove Soldier Boy down rofl
-I was really hoping that homelander would defend noir from soldier boy, he was too hurt from being lied to his whole life by someone he thought he could trust though. -Maeve not dying after she fell from a skyscraper with no powers was kind of Bs too but she's a likeable character so I'll overlook it. - They hyped tf out of starlight being overcharged only for her attack to be the equivalent of a strong push. Starlight is probably the weakest supe other than the deep. Even Atrain was making her powers look silly in season 1.
I thought the same thing with Maeve. But at least they gave her a nice ending to her arc. The scene with Noir was sad because I wanted to see him try to face his bully in Solider boy. But it is in line for Homelander to do that so can't get too down about it. Should have seen it coming
In terms of power i think it was just to highlight that she from now on will learn to fly or learn to use her "overcharge". Probably to compesate for Soldier and Maeve being out.
@@ricardomiles2957 she probably will be able to fly from now on but aren't they in NYC? She should have overcharge on 24/7 flying around that place. Not like she's in the middle of nowhere. Turning up the lights in a studio was kinda dumb imo.
Ryan couldn't have possibly died because of soldier boy's blast. Come on, he's Homelander's son and he killed Stormfront so yeah he's powerful. Kimiko and Maeve survived the blast also. Man, soldier boy was doing the right thing and despite finding out that homelander is his son he was still going to kill him and fullfill his end of the deal but Butcher fucked everything up. This Finale was not at all satisfying. It feels like just a build up for season 4 which is ok...but they could have done it better.
Soldier Boy is a lot of things but at least the man is loyal and keeps his word. He was going to kill his own blood because of his loyalty to Butcher yet Butcher was the one who betrayed him.
I love the human moments they gave homelander this season. I hope they explore them further in the next season. And im glad they didnt kill him. I dont think the show would work so well without him
Definitely a 50s thing. When we were kids my brother used to drink milk and Pepsi because we watched Laverne and Shirley reruns where Laverne would do that.
I have no clue on what's going to happen in this show now. Some things you guys talked make sense and I think they'll do it, like the "headpopper" becoming president. Shit is real!
Im shocked none of you guys had ever heard of even 1 of the 100s of cocktails and drinks with egg whites or combos of coke and dairy stuff. Whiskey sours, white russians, colorado bulldogs, literally tons of really common ones. I think like 7 of the drinks on the menu where I work have egg whites in them to create the froth on top
Eggnog with Root beer is so damn good. Like maybe 2/3 eggnog and 1/3 root beer. Or half and half of each. When I drank I liked putting 1/4 Root Beer, 1/2 Eggnog, and 1/4 Spiced Rum.
Disappointing finale! Soldier Boy was betrayed by Butcher and the boys. I will not understand why are they not try to help him kill Homelander! He is far more evil and dangerous than Soldier Boy!
Flash absolutely can beat superman in a race @16:54 he just let's him win sometimes depending if its charity or if he wants to hurt superman's ego or not 😂
The amount of Homelander sympathy in the comments is pretty disturbing lol. People defending a guy who forcibly separated a child from his mother, forced a girl to commit suicide and was planning on harvesting Maeve's reproductive organs and people are like "hE's JuSt MiSsUnDeRsToOd"
Pat really outthought all of them there. they shot the scene to make it very clear Ryan was telling Homelander he wanted to leave to save Butcher and the rest. He's still becoming more of a shithead too fast by the last scene with him but he did do that on purpose to save them all.
Wasn't a bad finale,just underwhelming. After everything been set up perfectly to take down homelander,the writers just de-escalated things. First by killing noir,which wasn't a bad twist,but would have made more sense if homelander betray him to soldier boy,as a peace offering,kinda like how butcher did with crimson countess,then if that fails,bring in Ryan. Speaking of Ryan,are you telling me no one could just take him away from the tower while the rest dealt with homelander? The most "butcher thing" to do will be to knock ryan out,say "sorry kid" and go back to take on homelander,then if that fails,Ryan wakes up to hate butcher even more because he "betrayed" him. Also,Nadia was already built up like a villain to take out last season,I don't know why they do the same this season like it's new,she took a backsit when soldier boy entered the picture. Speaking of soldier boy, it's convenient he doesn't join homelander instead when butcher turned on him,I mean Noir,the last member of payback was already taken care of and both of them are against Edgar,what would have happened then? I think the writers are scared of killing off homelander,seeing as Antony starr has done an excellent job. Overall,it was a decent season, looking forward to season 4
Homelander was clearly emotionally shook by lots of things to be that reasonable. And he was expecting to be talking to caring father at the point not a enemy. Nadia is just making her moves, in the bigger picture of this season she wasn't important for the boys to take notice until the very end. Ryan is easy. His nightmare trip clearly showed him that always being the though love type can backfire. Besides if ryan already decide to go to homelander. Unless they tried to novishok him there would be nothing preveting to killing everyone and flying away. Welll that's the simplest. The only thing about homelander that mattered for soldier boy was he being his son. He wanted to take care of a family. When he saw what homelander was, just like him, anything that he could be to soldier boy vanished.

@@Pyramanager you're just doing what I commented about. Don't dehumanize just because you have a certain political ideology. And as far as I know, Jan 6th wasn't done by left-wingers. Charlottesville wasn't done by left-wingers. All the killings of unarmed black men, mentally ill people, homeless people, the attacks on LGBT people, etc haven't been done by left-wingers.
NO, Homelander did not use him as a shield. He wanted to show Soldier Boy that they could be a family. Soldier Boy talked about being a father and family. But of course Marketa would see it that way and folks who just think EVERYTHING is propaganda or agenda based, except what you agree with, which is literally the same thing and what it is for.
16:53 I must correct you there my dude. Flash can most certainly beat Superman in a race. Like, it's not even close.
Need to show him the “That was for charity Clark” panel
@@jadenbender1082 Ooo, good choice as an example 👌
I was looking for this comment.
This is no DC and Homelander can't even fly to the moon and this amazon flash can't even travel multiple worlds 😂😂
@@Ryanlexz You do realize that's not what we're taking about, right? Please learn to read before attempting to write.
MM shotgun actually packed more of a punch, it knocked SB back along wit Starlights blast when they arrived and cracked his shield enough for Butcher to break it in a punch
Kimiko and Ryan were foreshadowed to have the exact same story arc. It’s great writing but it breaks my heart
Which is? I haven't seen the finale yet but I'm confused by your statement.
@@Maria-xd8yc I’m referring to the scene between Kimiko and Ryan at the beginning of this season, and the journey the mentalities they develop in the last episode
So basically them learning to love/appreciate their powers?
34:39 I don't think homelander used homielander as a shield, I'm 100% sure that he just wanted him to meet Ryan so they can be together
Put yourself in Ryan's shoes and Homelander has only ever shown him love and forgiveness. (ok sure, he pushed Ryan off a roof but he was right, Ryan was fine and he really can fly)
Ryan craves love, as we all do, and Butcher hasn't given it, Malory was just a caretaker, but Homelander really does love him.
Ryan couldn't have chosen any other course, he had to pick Homelander.
yea and the cycle is gonna continue. ryan is gonna be an egotistic, attention craving, cry baby like homelander. I'm over it
Imagine if Noir returns but in the way that he's a clone of Homelander like he was in the comics.
Soldier Boy is right about Butcher.
“He’s my wife’s son”
Oh no… 🤦🏻♂️🤣
I saw that some people were theorizing Ryan will be the next “Soldier boy”, there is 3 different soldier boys in the comments apparently
“If She’s Not Dead Then Soldier Boy’s Not Dead” 🤔
Ofcourse Soldier Isn’t Dead, Why Would He Be? He’s Blown Up Like 10 Times This Season, So Why Would He Die Now?
Ryan is def not too young to understand what is going on. He cares about Butcher AND Homelander. At the end, he isn’t smiling about the murder itself but being in the spotlight and protected. He still has a lot of potential to be a “good person” but vice versa as well.
Lol Pat is steadily transforming from “devils advocate” to “old man yelling at children on his lawn”
He's always had the dumbest takes in every show, I just pretty much filter him out.
@@fatterpillar I've seriously started to question his comprehension abilities. He seems to be 2 steps behind on every discussion
@@SkeeLoGreene every video, absolute clueless Zach Gilifankis meme.
I just try to pretend Pat isn't there.
@@punkypony5165I know but it’s so hard like he’s such a downer in every video he’s in for cheering for the villain and suits up in Homelander gear, Pat is like the Todd in the Normies
Here is the thing Butcher could've tried put Ryan away from Homelander the fight would've last longer but it still would've been 3v1 but he decided to attack Soldier Boy instead. He could just said to Soldier to let the kid go. Soldier Boy always listened to them everytime Butcher or Hughie wanted him to not kill someone that wasn't his prime target that's why MM and Annie aren't dead this season. Butcher was just stupid.
Soldier Boy, did everything right by the Butcher book, the guy straight told the truth about being Homelander father.
That's honesty right there with his allies. Which is more than they did with him.
True man,SB is the only man who keep doing the right thing in this episode.And somebody claims he’s heartless..😅If SB is heartless,then HL is 100 times worse than the demon himself
I wasn't watching when this started. I was just listening. When I heard all of you scream at the beginning, I knew it was Black Noir's death. I saw it coming and it still hurt
The ending is basically inspired by Trump's comment about shooting someone and his supporters will still love and support him. Because that how cult of personality works.
Which you have to be a idiot to think that's how the world works. People's reaction to someone making a joke that everyone knows is a joke and their reaction to the actual subject of the joke happening will be different. The writer's don't seem to know the difference.
Yup exactly. Chris called it out and I thought of it as soon as they were in a crowded place.
stay mad
Look at their Progressive faces! They look so mad at the ending. They gonna lost mid term elections 😂😂
Taylor swift could do the same thing
Holy shit that might have been the most savage editors note i'v seen on this channel.
SB seems to be way stronger in this episode than he was in episode 6. Is it because he had already fired his blast prior to the 1st fight with Homelander fight?
I think soldier boy from this episode could've beaten Homelander 1v1.
I'm not convinced there's anything Homelander could even do to hurt him. In this finale episode, he literally lasered Soldier Boy right in the eyes. It didn't even affect him... And we've seen those lasers cut a 747 in half. Ryan's lasers turned Stormfront into pulled pork, and he's nowhere near as strong as Homelander... yet.
Personally, if I was Homelander, I'd grab Soldier Boy while he's knocked out by the nerve gas, fly him to the moon, and just leave him there. He'd be stuck there for eternity with no way to escape, because he can't fly.
@@fluffylittlebear I think Homelander needs air too. It'll take days for him to get to the moon lol. Remember this is a realistic show that just happens to incorporate supes.
@@zangetsu1597 Well we know he's flown to space before. Homelander flies several times the speed of sound inside Earth's atmosphere, and in space he could accelerate indefinitely. I think he could reach the moon in minutes. Or just throw Soldier Boy at the moon.
"Coke and dairy together freaks me out.." I mean.. what about an icecream float? Are those not as common as I thought?
Homelander actually cared for black noir
I think Soldier Boy was undecided on how he would handle Homelander until he saw him face to face the last time. It didn't seem like he was using his own Father's words just to insult him.. I think he got to look at him and he understood what his Dad saw in him. That desperate desire for attention from him. I honestly sounded like he made him sick. He turned out to be just another disappointment.
At least he put forth the energy to beat his ass a little bit.
Just gonna add, I've been loving the editor notes this season
Homelander didn't manipulate the kid, he just showed him his life and Ryan liked it.
Ive watched you guys a long, long time: and love ya'll....But Flash absolutely can beat Superman.
Superman is a walking plot armor
@@Minority_hunter.. just like Queen Maeve
right!!! mans can traverse dimensions, time, and matter with just speed lmaooo
Flash can't beat doomsday. What the f u talking about?? Also where the flash actor playing the movie, didn't he get arrested?
Depending on what flash and what superman, yes
I hope someone at Vought managed to save Black Noir, my guy was able to survive getting his head town open so I'm sure if they fixed him up he can come back, his ending just didn't feel satisfying.
I hope him and Stan Edgar return together, know it's just wishful thinking though.
“How could you kill one of your own kind?”
This is said by the man who purposely killed Supersonic & killed Black Noir 5 minutes before this.
My parents are Haitian and we used to drink Malta (a Caribbean molasses soda) and Carnation evaporated milk together on ice and it is by far the greatest thing ever. It was def a huge childhood favorite of mine.
I saw it in an interview where Kripke suggested that he will "recast" new Noir and Nate Mitchell the actual Noir will play him (that's why the younger version is played by a different actor) so the "new" Noir can show his face or he will play a different character...
Homelander bringing his son was not him hiding behind Ryan, it was him hoping Soldier Boy would be convinced to be a family, something he's always wanted.
8:22 The part where Hughie is talking about his dad hit pretty close to home....
Chris, Micky, and... Rana... actually made it to an important episode of The Boys... for once. That's just crazy😯
Homelander is one of those villains who I don't actually want to see lose lol. Like Darth Vader. Yeah, they're the villain... But man are they cool
He was named soldier boy but captain america… therefore captain America the winter soldier boy
Suraj: "Flash can't beat Superman in a race" 🤦
No way hughie could've transported Ryan. Don't forget about the naked part of his power!
Coke/milk is apparently an old hangover cure.
THAT ENDING WAS THE REASON WHY SOLDIER BOY NEEDED TO KILL HOMELANDER WHATEVER IT TOOK, EVEN KILLED RYAN. I'M WITH CHRIS IN THIS ONE!!!
Also, how come Rana is still stoopid with all notes she's keeping?
If only butcher actually had a plan with the other stating that he was gonna betray soldier boy afterwards, because that's something he can do after his fight with homelander. Just stand back a bit wait till soldier boy is a bit injured and jump homelander.
Have frenchie take temp v (bro took coke at the start of the episode replace that with a needle filled with temp v), then starlight, maeve, kimiko, butcher, soldierboy and temp v frenchie just brutally jump homelander. When Ryan come in have one of them take him to safety, homelander would allow this and continue fighting homelander. Then after the fight jump soldier boy, its not that hard.
I do say mm argument against temp v is so bad, the same thing can be said about guns and weapons yet he uses them fine. Bros acting like taking temp v is making a deal with the devil, ethically speaking mm has done worse in his life.
Hi Suraj, not sure if you were joking or not, but Flash can beat Superman in a race. He's done it on multiple occasions.
People really forget the ruthless monster that Noir was
I think Ryan really was saving them because you can see the reluctance in his face contrary to popular belief but 13 years aren’t vegetables
Flash can totally beat Superman under the correct circumstances. Depending on the continuity, dude could straight up create a separate timeline where Superman never existed.
Don't think Meave is out of the game, if anything i think they hinted at whats coming.
When they are evacuating Ashley(ceo) denies Ashley(subordinate) a seat on the VIP escape, then later we see them both erasing the security footage of Meave with Ashley(ceo) basically giving Ashley(subordinate) the 'don't tell anyone' look.
Which to me foreshadows that it will come out (blackmail,leaked,leverage) and Meave will either be hunted down by Homelander or be forced to take V again to regain powers.
No, they are 2 different people. The other Ashley is from the tech department and the girl who couldn't get on the helicopter is CEO Ashley's secretary.
The Boys are hero. To you Billy Butcher, MM, Frenchie, Kimiko, Hughie, and Annie.
"Flash can't beat Superman in a race" Superman brought that up just before Flashpoint, to which the flash said the races in which he lost to Superman were for charity, and then promptly light speed boomed the hell out of there.
How do they not know that? Flash shits on Superman in every adaption, even Smallville.
Ryan 100% went with Homelander to make sure he didn't kill Butcher or hurt any of the other Boys, don't underestimate his ability to understand the severity of the situation. He's a kid not a toddler. And he also went because he has side with his dad, why wouldn't he? His dad never lied to him or treated him horribly. The worst he has ever done to Ryan was refer to him in a negative way to butcher right after he killed Stormfront. And also it was his bad for introducing his psycho girlfriend to him and got his mom killed. Other than that, not too bad. And Homelander fully accepts him and can personally sympathize with his superpowers.
Homelander brought Ryan here to meet his grandpa and be a family. Your the ones assuming he was trying to use him as a shield. Once danger started he immediately told Ryan to leave
Soldier Boy was the Hero of the Finale
I would really love to see the group follow up The Boys on their schedule with Banshee. More Anthony Starr and an absolutely fantastic show.
What's crazy is that I loved the rawness of Banshee but totally didn't realize that was the same actor. Totally felt like an idiot. I really couldn't see it til just recently.
These people are so dense but act like they understand what actually happen.
Starlight powered up just to push soldier back 5 feet
Chris' face at the last scene is priceless.
I was watching this video and then my neighbor came and we watched it together. He said this video really changed his life and it touched my heart. My village people are so grateful. Am proud to say cool video . Wow thanks for sharing.
The guy at the left was very cynical on poor noir’s death he should be sad as well
What I thought was the only bummer of the episode other than Noir dying was Annies massive power up that was so anti-climactic and the only thing it did was shove Soldier Boy down rofl
That moment is gonna start that Kid’s evil’nesss. He gonna become a little homelander
Should have let Soldier boy kill Ryan and Homelander, Ryan won't turn on his father and now its looking like he's gonna be Homelander Jr.
"I could shoot somebody in the middle of 5th avenue" couldn't be truer
-I was really hoping that homelander would defend noir from soldier boy, he was too hurt from being lied to his whole life by someone he thought he could trust though.
-Maeve not dying after she fell from a skyscraper with no powers was kind of Bs too but she's a likeable character so I'll overlook it.
- They hyped tf out of starlight being overcharged only for her attack to be the equivalent of a strong push. Starlight is probably the weakest supe other than the deep. Even Atrain was making her powers look silly in season 1.
I thought the same thing with Maeve. But at least they gave her a nice ending to her arc. The scene with Noir was sad because I wanted to see him try to face his bully in Solider boy. But it is in line for Homelander to do that so can't get too down about it. Should have seen it coming
In terms of power i think it was just to highlight that she from now on will learn to fly or learn to use her "overcharge". Probably to compesate for Soldier and Maeve being out.
@@ricardomiles2957 she probably will be able to fly from now on but aren't they in NYC? She should have overcharge on 24/7 flying around that place. Not like she's in the middle of nowhere. Turning up the lights in a studio was kinda dumb imo.
@@condorgaming4000 There’s clearly a range to her energy absorption.
@@condorgaming4000 true
Ryan couldn't have possibly died because of soldier boy's blast. Come on, he's Homelander's son and he killed Stormfront so yeah he's powerful. Kimiko and Maeve survived the blast also. Man, soldier boy was doing the right thing and despite finding out that homelander is his son he was still going to kill him and fullfill his end of the deal but Butcher fucked everything up. This Finale was not at all satisfying. It feels like just a build up for season 4 which is ok...but they could have done it better.
Noir deserved better and I was rooting for Soldier Boy the entire time.
Soldier Boy is a lot of things but at least the man is loyal and keeps his word.
He was going to kill his own blood because of his loyalty to Butcher yet Butcher was the one who betrayed him.
Homelander is not his ‘son’ at all…There is nothing sonly between them except being sperm doner.He is literally the demon to the earth.
I love the human moments they gave homelander this season. I hope they explore them further in the next season. And im glad they didnt kill him. I dont think the show would work so well without him
I already have the BIGGEST crush on Suraj because of him basically just existing... but the deep costume hit different
Gay
@@comsat2334 and proud
Definitely a 50s thing. When we were kids my brother used to drink milk and Pepsi because we watched Laverne and Shirley reruns where Laverne would do that.
31:23 famous last words lol “ whatcha gonna do laser me to death “ - lasered man
I have no clue on what's going to happen in this show now. Some things you guys talked make sense and I think they'll do it, like the "headpopper" becoming president. Shit is real!
Im shocked none of you guys had ever heard of even 1 of the 100s of cocktails and drinks with egg whites or combos of coke and dairy stuff. Whiskey sours, white russians, colorado bulldogs, literally tons of really common ones. I think like 7 of the drinks on the menu where I work have egg whites in them to create the froth on top
Eggnog with Root beer is so damn good. Like maybe 2/3 eggnog and 1/3 root beer. Or half and half of each. When I drank I liked putting 1/4 Root Beer, 1/2 Eggnog, and 1/4 Spiced Rum.
Disappointing finale! Soldier Boy was betrayed by Butcher and the boys. I will not understand why are they not try to help him kill Homelander! He is far more evil and dangerous than Soldier Boy!
Ryan's future is fuuuckkkedd.... We're gonna get two homelanders next season
Flash absolutely can beat superman in a race @16:54 he just let's him win sometimes depending if its charity or if he wants to hurt superman's ego or not 😂
The amount of Homelander sympathy in the comments is pretty disturbing lol. People defending a guy who forcibly separated a child from his mother, forced a girl to commit suicide and was planning on harvesting Maeve's reproductive organs and people are like "hE's JuSt MiSsUnDeRsToOd"
And that's only naming a few of the fucked up things he's done XD but it's ok because he just wants to be a "good dad" right?
Pat really outthought all of them there. they shot the scene to make it very clear Ryan was telling Homelander he wanted to leave to save Butcher and the rest. He's still becoming more of a shithead too fast by the last scene with him but he did do that on purpose to save them all.
I come here because it's the only reaction channel I know that literally gushes over everything Homelander does like he's the central protagonist.
I totally wanna see the homies version of the deep staring Suraj.
Ever heard of a Float?…
Soda with Icecream?…
It’s just Soda and Milk 🥛
did chris really think Homelander wouldnt do anything when that guy threw stuff at his son?😂😂 he seemed shocked
16:52 Flash has 1000% beat Superman in a race
They really just threw all of their Homelander lore in the trash to give Maeve an underwhelming yasss queen moment.
The boys was renewed for season 4.
Wasn't a bad finale,just underwhelming.
After everything been set up perfectly to take down homelander,the writers just de-escalated things.
First by killing noir,which wasn't a bad twist,but would have made more sense if homelander betray him to soldier boy,as a peace offering,kinda like how butcher did with crimson countess,then if that fails,bring in Ryan.
Speaking of Ryan,are you telling me no one could just take him away from the tower while the rest dealt with homelander? The most "butcher thing" to do will be to knock ryan out,say "sorry kid" and go back to take on homelander,then if that fails,Ryan wakes up to hate butcher even more because he "betrayed" him.
Also,Nadia was already built up like a villain to take out last season,I don't know why they do the same this season like it's new,she took a backsit when soldier boy entered the picture.
Speaking of soldier boy, it's convenient he doesn't join homelander instead when butcher turned on him,I mean Noir,the last member of payback was already taken care of and both of them are against Edgar,what would have happened then?
I think the writers are scared of killing off homelander,seeing as Antony starr has done an excellent job.
Overall,it was a decent season, looking forward to season 4
Homelander was clearly emotionally shook by lots of things to be that reasonable. And he was expecting to be talking to caring father at the point not a enemy.
Nadia is just making her moves, in the bigger picture of this season she wasn't important for the boys to take notice until the very end.
Ryan is easy. His nightmare trip clearly showed him that always being the though love type can backfire. Besides if ryan already decide to go to homelander. Unless they tried to novishok him there would be nothing preveting to killing everyone and flying away.
Welll that's the simplest. The only thing about homelander that mattered for soldier boy was he being his son. He wanted to take care of a family. When he saw what homelander was, just like him, anything that he could be to soldier boy vanished.
Cool story bro
Yesss. I was literally refreshing yotube homepage for this.
