Season 2, Episode 5: We Gotta Go Now
Watch The Boys on Amazon Prime Video: AAN.SonyPicture...
Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name.
Ashley's actress is SO underrated. Just how TANGIBLY she conveys absolute terror whenever she must deliver bad news...and Homelander gets mad at them. When HL glares at "9 and a half" she really is silently begging for her life then and there. Truly amazing performance!
So why not look up her name? That's Colby Minifie. Indeed she's super talented.
I think that's why he keeps her around. He equates fear with respect, and he can exercise power over her, in place of the corporate overlords under whose authority he chafes.
I love how shes so meek with homelander but is like GET THE FUCK OUT to her subordinates lmao
The way she begs Homelander to stay quiet until crisis team has actionable strategy.
She was on TWD too if I remember. She kidnapped Carol and Maggie.
The way he dramatically waves his arms signifying that the supe terrorist was not scary to him just made me laugh for some reason.
Heat vision is so fucking OP when it's as powerful as Superman's, or even Homelander's. He's right not to be scared of anyone, it's an instant death look.
@@hansolo631 true story
Villain
That was the best part 😂😂😂
For some reason? It's supposed to be funny 😅
The show is a comedy bro
Even the darkest parts of the show have some great comedic timing from the actors 😅
Homelander is exactly why we all should be grateful super powers don’t exist in the real world.
This homelander is tame compared to that. Hell the comic version of noire is what the real world supers would be like.
Unless we get a Superman
@@Panther-Strife4724 the thing is no one believes in a good superman anymore, all they do is strawman the same 'power corrupts absolutely' trope that the thought of someone using his powers for good is a childish fantasy in a world of bad people, tending to forget that Good people exist it's just that the bad actions of few get more attention than the majority of good is swept out as average, and I'm just sick of these bad takes that an Evil Superman is 'realistic' when no it's a psychotic concept than any sane person wouldn't do because consequences, powerful or normal still happen.
I am him without super powers. Life is shit without super powers
@@mainakbasu9740 No youre not. If you were trust me you'd be a lot worse than him
It is strange to hear Homelander asking someone of something with a sincere "please"..... you know.. like a human....
Marty is a good guy
@@jayma2733Yeah feel like Marty got him shake shack before
He is human.
@@wildhunt6350e doesn't make mistakes. He's not like the rest of us. He's stronger, he's smarter... He's BETTER. HE IS BETTER.
@@haihuynh8337 And that's exactly why Clark has no problems with his imense powers he just gotta be holding back badly so he wont punch off someone's head off when stopping criminals just like Homelander or punching so hard, that he rewrites realities. its insane to compare or to imagine the sheer power Superman holds and the literal infinite power and potential has.
"So what they're all starving but one of them's got a f*cking cell phone" destroys me every time.
You would not believe me if I told you there are people here on TH-cam who think and said the same thing homelander said about Africans and think that colonialism and genocide was beneficial for the entire Africa. The most ironic thing was that those homelander like people were Americans.
Edit: even after 11 months this comment is getting replied from triggered people.🤣
He has a Point 😅
@@anthonykoller4459 ok todd
people say the exact same thing about refugees..
he's got a better point than you realize.
(yeah I know tons of Africans have cellphones, but not usually the ones that claim they're starving or whatever)
Stages of Homelander:
Season 1 = Deteriorating mental health sanity
Season 2 = Child abuse and violent thoughts
Season 3 = Death threats and anger issues
Season 4 = Worldwide domination
u forgot crying for validation
Season 1 should be deteriorating mental health sanity
Mortal Kombat = Guest Character
Pre-Season 1: Rape
@@red_five3325Relatable
Homelander's reaction to the video is genuinely hilarious. Only time I can recall this character making me laugh.
The only? Nah you're
Tripping
His panic attack and anxiety scenes are just as funny tbf.
Oh common! You're telling me Yummers didn't make you laugh?? I call bs.
@@deadforever99bro that scene scared the shit outta me. I thought I am gonna see A train cut in half.
Yeah and what about "Girls get it on!" lmao come on son, you lying, you know you laugh at more things he's done/said.
The delivery of “so what, they are all starving but one of them got a fucking cellphone” fucking kills me every time 😂😂
It’s crazy how Homelander says it, and everyone agrees it’s an “asshole thing to say”- yet when people say this in REAL life, they think they said something intelligent-sounding:
“How are you poor but have an iPhone!”🤪
“Sell your iPhone and buy food”🤪
@@BlackFlightNYlmao it does cost a lot just to keep a phone. You have to pay for a charger, phone bills, internet, electricity, etc. So the point still stands
@@BlackFlightNYI haven't seen anyone who has said that and not be heavily criticized. Cellphones are basically essential at this point
@@BlackFlightNY But heres a thing. There are tons of cheap smartphones and iPhones are definitely not on the list.
If you're poor and still bought an iPhone or galaxy s ultra or something then you're just being irresponsible.
@@jagermeister-3812 You lack information. Most people outside of the US in these kinds of places use pay-as-you-go types of plans when they need minutes, and use whatsapp + public wifi/internet cafe when they don't have minutes. Chargers are a one-time cost, and the electricity usage of a phone is minimal. What you gain from having a phone (access to family, resources, job searching, etc.) is far more valuable than the one month of groceries or 1/4 month's rent you'd get from selling a phone. (Further, most of the time it's a used or old phone to begin with, so it's not like selling it would do much anyways). In some ways, it's more expensive not to have a phone than it is to have a phone.
Your iPhone 15 Pro Max costs a lot, a 5-year old barebones Nokia does not. This is the same energy as the old Fox news article complaining about how people on food stamps own refrigerators.
I love this series. I also love how as the series continues Homelander's true self starts to surface little by little
Just like modern celebs vs the older generations. With the advent of cellphones and internet we know things like Matthew Broderick killing two people in a car accident, or Victor Salva (director of Jeepers Creepers) soliciting oral from a minor. Compared to those like Jimmy Saville or Rolf Harris who kept their nastiness behind closed doors until the end of their life/career, and whose 'shifty' or 'shady' moments would be likely overlooked without the benefit of 2 million people watching the clip of those losing it on YT.
Homelanders actor Antony Starr needs an Emmy nomination for his performance as homelander
Ironically The Air Bender guy had more Balls than the Entirety of The Seven combined because He’s one of the only Few Supes who actually fought Homelander.
“Fought” is a strong word…
Dude used his powers before homelander got there and then got one shot, that's worse then the blind supe 😂
@@droid5785 Dude knew who was coming.
@@kgpspyguy He still stood his Ground and wasn’t scared shitless.
@@therealmr.incredible3179
I don’t know, I feel like this was more a case of some random dude committing an act of terror, then Homelander shows up and kills him in 1 second.
at 0:26 you can see the golf cart behind homelander but then 5 seconds later ashley comes out of nowhere on the golfcart never noticed that mistake before
Blud thinks he’s cinemasins
Ashley is secretly a supe
@@IceBear-jb1ip cinemasins and wins are the fucking worst
Are we supposed to believe this is so kind of magic golf cart? Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder
Someone drove the first one the then Ashley came
I just noticed this- when the video begins 0:58 the supposed “super terrorist” watches and waits until the people run behind him, only attacks once everyone was behind him so that he could protect them from Homelander. He wasn’t attacking the people he was defending them!
I thought I was the only one who noticed! 😢
The boys established that Homelander sent a bunch of V to bad people around the world. I imagine this is probably some local warlord terrorizing a village for whatever reason. Homelander kills bad people all the time the issue is that he doesn't do it for some moral or ethical reason, but just to be popular.
@abdulkarimelnaas7595in fairness, there's a weirdly high amount of African warlords who did that
@abdulkarimelnaas7595 notice how nobody ran up to mourn the supe he killed. Dude was clearly terrorizing them.
@@Alan-wj5zcyeah but Homelander being a white super supremacist wouldn’t exactly be a good judge of character for bad people.
This is truly a GREAT actor. He sweats extreme evil........
Whats hilariously funny is in most cases of superhero movie battles. They make the case of "You cant save everyone" and "It's 10s of 100s of lives versus millions" but in this instant they have actual footage of Homelander carelessly killing, and expressing disgust before leaving, so they cant even play that card 😂
Anthony Starr does such a good job at this role. I mean I found myself hating him and scared for people talking to him haha. I love knowing he can pull both of those emotions.
He’s an asshole but I can’t hate him at all, dude’s too funny
I love the sarcastic terror flex he does before he blasts him.
0:05 I’m deaaaddd. “This new Joss rewrite really sings, huh?” I knew the movie was based off Zack Snyder’s DCEU films, but I didn’t think they’d hit it so on the nose here. Alluding to Joss Whedon’s terrible rewrites of the Justice League movie, this has got to be the funniest reference ever.
Hes simply the best villan ever
Yeah he's super evil but I just cant hate him 😂
If it happens irl, the entire internet would be "W Homelander" "Based Homelander"
Joss rewrite really sings 😂
The way he just says “ohhh” like in the same manner you would if you forgot to like fill up your car before leaving for work is funniest thing
I love the contrast you can see between the super powered guys that Homelender kills and him. Homelander kills him and kills a civilian through negligence with his heat ray. Yet at the very start of it, you can see the man with the telekinetic powers, waiting until all the civilians get behind him as to not have any casualties.
"They're all starving, but one of thems got a cellphone??"
🤣
Homelander is just like “whoops I did again”
Antony Starr not winning an award for homelander is a war crime.
The real war crime here.
He's the real actor.
Homelanders pose before he flies out 🤣🤣🤣
I do it all the time.
Every time he uses his laser vision it's the wrong choice.
It's not a war crime if there's no war 😏
So you’ve never heard of the war on terror then?
Your Russia is showing
@@ivyr336I think he was joking
@@treasurecatchermjp7083 as was I
@@ivyr336and america too
What makes Amazon Homelander is that he is smart compared to comic Homelander
Depends.
He is cunning, but not particularly smart.
Comic book’s Homelander is smarter-ish, but not at all perceptive (which is ironic, since he has super-perception as one of his distinguishing powers).
Comic book Homelander is bad at reading people, even though he has speed-thinking that he uses, A LOT.
His computation power + perception powers are stronger, but his social intelligence in bad in comics.
Smart VS cunning/manipulative are different criteria.
- Girls get it on!
- “Done” girls get it done sir
- they sure do Ashley
Cracks me everytime 😂
😂
Lolololol not gonna lie he’s actually hilarious in this scene instead of terrifying like the other 95% of time he’s on screen
I love how he shouts “Terrific!” as if he’s talking to a camera crew during a cut.
Anikan hears war crimes and is like oh ho boy this is where the fun begins
This scene is applicable to the joke "caught in 4k" lmao
HOW IS HE SO TERRIFYING YET SO FUCKING FUNNY LMAOO
He could just walk up and clock the guy but he just defaults to the goddamn lasers everytime lmao
I hope in season 4 we can see the younger version of him, like teenager Homelander having to deal with his powers and not having a family with him
He is so good I watched this scene 20 times and his facial expressions / reactions is still funny
The reality of having superpower of laser eyes like superman
It would've been cool if later on seasons. Someone makes a forum that's filled with his "mistakes" and it goes viral
The “Oh” of realization is fucking gold
Bro has beef with ashley 24/7 💀
Here's the brilliance of this show: his body language doesn't hide anything. Over the past several decades, movies and TV taught the general public to hide their intention. That's why everyone looks so plastic all the time, masking their emotions, always wearing fake smiles. Homelander doesn't bother with any of that; he wears his emotions on his sleeve. His face does the talking an hour before his mouth does.
Important insight for when you watch certain fascists making political speeches these days, looking like Mr. Brady but deep inside you know their thought process is exactly like Homelander's.
love how he makes the flying off gesture like that these little things man jesus
This show is this good because of Homelander. The problem is, once he's dead, I have no reason to watch the show.
the way he says ohhh 🤣🤣
I still laugh that homelander made Ashley take off her wig that time 😂😂😂
"This new Joss rewrite really sings huh?" For a movie called "Dawn of the 7"? Is this a dig at Joss Whedon for makins that shitfest Justice League reshoot that was complete garbage? 😂 Zach Snyder all the way
Lol Snyder made the movie four hours long and it was still trash after. Couldn’t make a decent movie even with twice the runtime
Had to have been a slight dig. Because it was indeed shit.
@@ballrdd24 kek Snyder cut proved that his vision was superior to whatever Joss tried to do with his shitty attempt and that's a fact
@@ballrdd24eh no
@@ballrdd24nah you just hating.
I am not sure who should sue her for copyright infringement, Wonder Woman or Xena.
I love that the cameraman got an angle on the burning sheet like “oooooo, dis a great shot.”
Homelander like Homer Simpsons, Bender and Peter Griffen
“So what, they’re all starving but one of them’s got a cell phone?”
Dude is ignorant as America
it's funny that he still cared at that point
The cell phone is funny to me because I work in a liquor store so some of my customers are homeless people. And every single one of them has not just a cellphone but a Smartphone. Idk how but they all own one. It's actually insane to think that people who have literally nothing STILL have cellphones. Shows you just how digital the world is nowadays
Smartphones are pretty cheap nowadays and you need it to survive.
Africans having smartphones isn't surprising, they really need it because they use digital cash instead of physical cash to prevent themselves from getting robbed.
"This new Joss rewrite really sings". They knew what they were doing, huh :)
In defense of Homelander that boy hid himself in worst place possible: behind the back of the enemy.
god forbid people stand anywhere
“In defense of Homelander”
Bro 💀
You lost me at "In Defense of Homelander" lmao
If you stand behind sheet behind a terrorist, I don't think that's "anywhere"@@mushmush4980
“Girls get it on”
Girls get it done.
"Look at these strong female lesbians. Girls get it on!" Lmao he's so out of touch I love it
He is not out of touch, but ok.
He is mentally abused and does not express his emotions well.
He seems ok with guy on guy action as well, btw.
@@kingol4801 I dont think you understood what I meant. I'm not saying hes a homophobe. I meant out of touch with humanity. "Strong female lesbians" 2 of those words go hand in hand dont you think
@@kingol4801It's weird your go to reaction is to defend Homelander...
Pretty based I'd say
If he just Falcon-punched the guy, there'd be no problem. But Homelander's one lazy SOB.
Stronggg female lesbians!
2:36 for them. Body language is impressive
Video should be titled Homelander Blesses The Rains Down In Africa
RIP Gust of Wind Man
It’s official, home lander is can kill an air bender
Dang, dude... he got an innocent kid killed, and doesn't even care. No remorse. No compassion
And there are an unfortunately amount of people who unironically think he's the good guy. To the point where Anthony Starr himself had to come out and tell these idiots that Homelander is the bad guy.
"Girls get it on." "done. Girls get it done." "They sure do Ashley."
The way he says 9 and half 😂😂
Homelander is the perfect representation of israel
Girls get it on! Brilliant!
00:00 At least he says Please 😊
Ahyes, back when being a supe didn't mean Homelander's eye lasers just tossed you back a few meters.
I am absolutely loving this show
1:33 it's so damn good
It is so funny, that Homelander, with his god-like powers is still helpless against corporate bureaucracy and social media
Homelander has obsession with popularity.
@stealthstandard Homelander' only purpose in life is to be popular, if his urges aren't meant, than his life is meaningless.
Homelandrr' sociopathy prevents him from forming healthy relationships/friendships, while his narracistism constantly torments him with insecurity fueled delusions of grandeur.
Homelander never learns...he has f*c*ed up with the laser so many times.
The best part of the series was when the MAGA dudes realized and were upset that Homelander is actually a villain. It took them almost three seasons but they got there.
Not really. If you think Maga people actually likes him you don’t know what a joke is.
This actually made me like him more.
@@MylesKillis I don't know if they "likes" him, but I know they like him. Once you get off of truth social, google it.
I wonder whos a more of a sick, twisted bastard. Homelander or Frieza?
Frieza gleefully committed genocide against a planet
This isn’t a contest
Especially if we’re factoring in TeamFourStar Frieza
@@kruegerpoolthe13thI hate TFS, so annoying.
this is why I couldnt be a super human I would just say I dont care and lazer everyone.
;-;
Let's say you don't need to sleep. Or breathe. And can tank nukes. And are completely invincible.
No nation, not even NATO can stop you.
...what're you gonna do for fun?
For _socialization?_
Yank people into the air and talk at them?
No.
You will never be loved again.
It's a losing proposition.
Prope to those two guys taking a lazer through the chest. Thats dedication to the roll
Homelander represents the perfect middle Republican-Trumpist american
Not even close
they REALLY screwed up in that last season........2 great characters..brought in and gone.....
stormfront..great villain..brought in..completely wasted
soldierboy...great anti hero brought in and completely wasted
I don’t think they’re done with Soldier Boy tbh. I don’t think they said he died at Vought Tower so he may still be kickin somewhere
Wasted? There was an entire plot with both of them, like the seasons were literally about them idk what you really wanted, them to keep the same side characters for the entire show?
Also Solider Boy is a villain, not an "anti-hero". He literally killed MM's family, and his response was, "which one was that?"
The only part of him that has any "hero" was that he wanted to kill Homelander. And the thing is, im the moment he decided to kill Homelander, he showed himself to be an even greater asshole than Homelander. He was willing to kill his own son and his own grandson simply for a job.
Billy is an Anti-Hero, because, ya know, he actually does good things sometimes, and isn't just constantly awful
To be honest I've learned if you DON'T see them die on screen their not dead. All we saw is a bunch of people wheeling out a body bag.
@@98loudlol rotten liberal brain, soldier himslef didnt anything wrong
@@nggyunglyd2374They showed him unconscious near the ending montage. He’s being held by CIA now.
Such a good actor swear lmao
This whole show is just 👃 propaganda lmao.
Ah yes, I remember when (((they))) wanted to make a race of superhumans to take over earth.
OH WAIT.
Every time if you wonder if Augustus, Septimus , Vespasian or Valentinian were wrong for their actions, look at your comment
no its neutral
@@enderzebak2863 How is it neutral? It poses national socialists as bad guys, has a woman severely burned in her face for being one, when the national socialists were the good guys of ww2. Makes fun of and vilifies the national socialists for wanting their own country for their own people, when everyone else was allowed to do that, for example think of india, does india get shit for kicking out the British? no. does Germany get shit for kicking out the non natives in their country? yes. When Germany's foreigners were much worse, implementing sexual perversions to the youth, believing only human beings born of their women's womb have an actual soul, that all other human beings are "soulless animal goyim" fun fact, the ten commandments? only apply to humans with a soul, read the talmud for yourself and see what they are allowed to do to goyim with no consequences from their "god'. Not to even mention the fact they lie about being European when it suits them, when their religion says they are the sons of shem, not japeth, which are two of the three sons of noah who repopulated the earth, one made the eurasian race, one the african and one the jewish. And even lie about the scientific impossibility of how many people were "cremated" during the war. The thing about a crematory oven is, it doesn't care about feelings, it can only cremate so many bodies in so much time due to scientific restrictions like over heating and only having so much space in the oven. While no mass graves have been found. The group she belonged to in this series, like 99.9% of all t.v shows and films run by 👃are always portrayed as evil, when they were far from it. Find me anyone who would be pro the non native people who moved into africa, claimed to be genocided when they were not and were just being expelled from their non native land, where they called all the natives "soulless animals" and had "religious laws" that allowed them to rape, steal and murder the natives with no consequences in their religion, force the african country to pay billions in "reparations" and then push it in every other t.v show and film to shame them, while tricking the world into thinking they were victims. it won't happen.
@@johnpaullaizure7330 every dictatorship is evil, ever heard of a simple government concept such as totalitarianism? Which the NatSoc party was? They took it far with their rampant racism and militarisation. The preservation of culture and people isn't a bad thing. And it isn't for the most part what the allied powers and modern day people criticize the white nationalists for, atleast I hope. The liberal left, specifically extremists, in the west have the same agenda. And both are spouting the same extremist idea of grinding down the outsiders and supposed scapegoats of their problems. Germany is and was a great nation not because of some fringe party, that only made themselves great because they had an already accomplished society to work with. I personally believe there was a lot of good people in Hitlers's Germany. But still, him and his goons were running it so these people have no choice but to comply, or get perverted by the fringe ideology, or died defying him. Look up the rest of German history and not just nationalism and extremist bullcrap. Road to hell is paved with good intentions. Perversion of a good intent led to the millions of deaths. His policies were mostly built on hate, definitely more of that than love of one's own people. And also compromise cause the allies were cornering him in a box to do his genocidal acts. And BTW about the "supposed" evidence for the deaths, of course you can't burn through them all with a handful of crematoriums. They mostly had them piled up in a field and lit up. In Krakow, Hujar hill, is an example. Lack of evidence is obvious, the SS knew they were going to get crap for it. As far as I know they blew certain places of evidence to hell.
How much you wanna bet that Homelander was the invader and the so called supe terrorist was the one defending his village from him?
Did they even make a new season? They’re halting the release indefinitely because of the writers strike. Yet the boys GEN V is already going to be released with no issues. Most the main people in the boys have been. Doing other projects. Was it all hype? Is this the supernatural ending all over again where it was done just to continue the story 🤦♂️
no
It’s in post production, Erick Kripke is waiting for the strikes to end because they still need to do ADR, but you need actors and writers for that. Gen V was much further along when the writers strike began

Homelander is the best😂
1:06 Here is when it happened in case you missted it
It’s the same thing as the airplane. He may have killed the terrorist and the bad guys but honestly the guys too reckless with his heat vision he could’ve just knocked him out with a super punch and that be it but no you had to use that reckless heat vision.
Like father like son
