Jen and I are getting married THIS Sunday! We've had a lot of stuff going on on our end trying to get ready. We're really excited and *fingers crossed* we can livestream it for everyone. Some of you were asking for our registry, so here you go for those asking: www.amazon.com/wedding/share/hardmansilverwedding We'll have a video of the wedding either way, and we've filmed a ton of movies and episodes in preparation for our honeymoon so there shouldn't be any lapse in content. We appreciate all of you and we're super excited to start this next chapter! So anyway, here's season 2 of The Boys!
Eric Kripke chose Fresca because it seemed like a drink a cult would drink. Funny thing about that Hunger Games joke, Hughie's actor, Jack Quaid, was in the first one as a tribute lol
Of course Gus Fring is the only one who can talk back to Homelander. Giancarlo Esposito plays the calm collected bad guy so freaking well. What a phenomenal actor.
In regards to the religion talk in the show, I get how you feel Holden, but you gotta remember it’s important to her character. She grew up with the idea that god made her special. That shaped who she is as a person, and now she’s grappling with the knowledge that isn’t true. Not saying it’s not a little heavy handed, just food for thought.
He needs thicker skin. That’s how the majority of people view religion. This is a channel dedicated to fiction and for him to spend so much time complaining about the perception of religion is hypocritical.
@@mattb7479 eh, I skip most of his religious videos. And as much as I like Jen, I honestly miss the my friend watches series. It just isn’t the same watching Jen ramble for 7 mins afterward instead of 4 or 5 people. Miss watching Jeremy, Matt and the rest of the crew.
@@mattb7479 This is his channel, and religion is apart of him, so your the selfish one judging him, he can defend his faith, because this is his channel, ur probably not religious so you dont get it.
The great thing about this show is that it has mastered the art of escalation. Every episode is better than the previous, and I don't see that stopping with season 3. Love it.
Jen- "I've noticed that every single episode is important, I don't think I could miss an episode and not miss something important". Imagine if you SAW an episode and missed something important.... WHOS TO SAY? You guys will like this season I think, it goes full speed every episode since the foundation of the story is there now.
Congrats both on you for getting married. Can't wait to watch this season with you! Are you guys going to be watching and uploading your reactions to the new season as each episode is released or will there be some time in between it comes before you can upload it? Cheers!
Congratulations on the wedding! And you're going to love s2. So many character arcs gets more complicated, and there's some great humor. Can't wait for S3!
I don't think Starlight hates God. I think she just has doubts about whether or not a god actually exist. And it's not just thrown in there, it's strategically placed to show the growth of her character. It comes right before she does something Starlight in the first season would be unlikely to do; blackmail a fellow colleague. In season one she was the poster girl for naivety and had everything she thought she knew turned on its head. Makes sense the character would question everything, including God.
Right. All her life she was told she was chosen by God, and now she finds out it was not natural, it was manufactured, her faith is shaken deeply. It's not that she has turned away from God, at least I don't view it like that. It's that all the lies left her unsure about herself, and now she's finding herself and going about things how she wants to, instead of how she is 'suppose' to.
@@ghostlee6434 I can see his point of view too, given a lot of times things like a crisis of faith is presented, it is heavy handed. So it's easy to think this is too, drawing from other experiences. But in The Boys, I think it's done pretty damn well without flat out saying "people who believe in God are idiots trollolloll" I don't believe in him, but respect people who do and genuinely admire true faith.
I think the 'God' thing was more so a human response to being told that you were Gods gift and then the realisation that you're not. it's still very much relevant. It may feel like that for you because you've transitioned quickly from S1 to S2, but that operates as a good reminder of where our characters are at after the wait between the two seasons.
Lot of good JUICY stuff to come this season, as well as some pretty good character development alongside the plot developments. I think you are both going to love it more than the first season. And congrats on (almost) being married you two! Always good when life works out for people, all the best to you both and those adorable little furr babies!
Homelander craves public approval of himself over everything else. That is the power they hold over him. He wants to be loved by the public so he has to keep who he is secret from them and if they turn on him he becomes almost useless. Nobody can hurt him, although the exploding head trick might work, so he fears nobody except Mr. Edgar who signs his paychecks. Homelander needs the love of the public for him or he becomes almost useless. That is his true weakness and if the public fears and hates him I don't know what he will do.
@@awesomefacematt Holden knows it's Stillwell, or whoever does the editing knows because in the first watch alongs, every time Jen said Stillwater a glass of water with the name stillwell would flash on screen. I'd say Holden has either tried so much and it's not landing with Jen so he's now just letting it go, or that he's not tried at all and is just enjoying for what it is. Every time she says Stillwater i get the soundtrack for Almost Famous' band Stillwater playing in my head.....FEVER DOOOOGGGGGG!!
Oh man, I love that both of you are going into this season blind. I've forgotten so much of the smaller details of this series, so I'm digging going through this with you guys.
I'm glad you guys are watching season 2 cause season 3 is gonna be in june and I'm glad Holden liked the soldier boy reference because they casted him for season 3 as Jensen Ackles from supernatural
They made Stillwell an interesting character in the show but in the comics he was a very different character, and I’m glad they chose to make Edgar act like how Stillwell was in the comics so we still get to see that character.
I'm glad this won the poll. Can't wait for you to go thru with it, considering Season 3 will be out in May. By the way, this season's finale is going to be explosive as well.
Holden, I am not sure if this is one of the first things or the first thing you and her both watched for the first time together and I have to say you and her post conversation was SO MUCH BETTER. (not that normally it is bad) but your genuine engagement and not being afraid of spoiling or influencing her opinion really comes through. I recommend more shows new to both of you!
Congratulations guys!!! I hope y’all have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon and I think I speak for all of us fans when I say that I wish you the best!!
"That's what Matt said when I took him to comic con." WHERE IS THAT VIDEO, HOLDEN. AND, WHILE I'M AT IT, CONGRATS ON WHAT I'M SURE WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND WEDDING FOR YOU TWO PEOPLE I'VE COME TO LOVE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS!!!! But, seriously is there a Matt at Comic Con vid and congrats, you two. 💓
That intro was insane, maybe you could tease the next series that wins the pole on Patreon with an intro animation like that for people on TH-cam that don’t know yet, love from the uk 🇬🇧 💯
I love the genuine shock on both of your faces. I hope the patterns vote for more things neither of you have seen. It is refreshing to know that Holden can’t just say”who’s to say” about what will happen next.
A fact we don't get much from the comics about Homelander is that he has super hearing like Superman and he like to hear the heartbeat of people around him and he enjoy feeling the fear of the people he is speaking to. In the comics, Stan Edgar has another name and he is the only one homelander is terrified about cuz no matter what he says or does, Stan does not fear him one bit, his heartbeat stay steady in all occassions.
Love the reaction as always!! Hope you guys have a fantastic wedding!! Also, two things, where did Jen get that water bottle and will you guys be reacting to Moon Knight?
Love this series! I love watching movies with my girlfriend and you Holden literally do the same thing when they ask about what's going on or going to happen. Also sad I missed the chance to see you guys when you came to Chicago for the Marvel experience. Keep up the great work!
black noir has the basic set of powers, including superhuman strength (since he cracks open a guy's skull with his bare hands) superhuman durability (since he withstood an explosion that disintegrates normal humans with just a few burns) superhuman agility (since he fought Kimiko toe to toe) master of knives (which he used to slice Kimiko) and he also has some sort of intimidation skill (because his very presence makes people nervous, like that guy at the piano)
Jen....coming from a diehard DC fan, secondary Marvel fan. Also, Legends StarWars Veteran . The Boys, breaks barriers they won't. So, coming from a newcomer "The Boys" fan having just read the comics, you in for some "JUICY." *cough season 3 episode 6*
First I thought that Homelander is gonna just snap his fingers next to the guys ears to deafen him. But what he did is actually more fitting for his character
Interesting note about the actor Giancarlo Esposito. In the Harley queen animated series he voices Lex Luthor. Many ppl always wondered if he should have played as Lex in a live action roll. Here his character is sorta like Lex luthor with him, a regular human wifh no powers is still able to keep homelander on a leash.
This is the first time I'm watching one of the videos where Holden and Jen watch something that both haven't seen before. Homelander smashing Blindspot's eardrums hits very differently after watching Daredevil! Still enjoyed Holden's face when that happened. Although I missed what could have been a smug 'You won't believe what's about to come' face to Jen, lol!
Congratulations 🎊 I just watched your rehearsal dinner video. Its so good to see everyone together. Hope we get a wedding video. Love the channel and I wish you two a happily ever after.
I've gotta say that I think this is the first time I've sen both of you have a surprised look on your faces when CIA Director Raynor's head exploded. Priceless reaction. 😂
I just realized the archer is the comedian langston kerman. Really funny guy his album is on spotify and he's hilarious I highly recommend listening to it. Fun fact: he was also a teacher.
I wish you guys would watch "Banshee"! Starring the Homelander actor . A criminal becomes sheriff of a small town........crazy antics and crazier characters.

All the best luck & love! Hope you guys have an amazing time!!!
Congrats!
I’m stopping by the livestream if you have one congratulations guys!!
just make sure it doesnt interrupt your video upload schedule
Congrats!!!
Hope y'all liked my little VFX intro! Might be my finest one yet, even if it's as dark as hell... lol. Was fun getting the old electric out as well!
Looks amazing, dude!
Looked top tier! Good stuff!
Looks good
It’s diabolical 🔥
You did a great job!
The thing about the stare down is that homelander can feel his heartbeat and understands that Mr. Edgar is truly not afraid of him
Eric Kripke chose Fresca because it seemed like a drink a cult would drink. Funny thing about that Hunger Games joke, Hughie's actor, Jack Quaid, was in the first one as a tribute lol
And not just that, he ironically is probably the most villainous of the other tributes.
the supernatural guy?
@@AmazingChi How so? He barely had a role, except for killing Rue.
@@Belnick6666 He's the show runner for The Boys, and lead head writer.
@@GenerationWest he also created supernatural
I love how Jenn is determined to call her “Stillwater”.
Glad this is a fresh watch for both of you guys.
Of course Gus Fring is the only one who can talk back to Homelander. Giancarlo Esposito plays the calm collected bad guy so freaking well. What a phenomenal actor.
Homelander should be a case study. That character is insanely interesting.
seems like a basic sociopath with random psychopathic out burst
Jen looks great as Queen Maeve! I could definitely see her pulling off a great cosplay as her
Love the fact that everytime Jen drinks water, something shocking happens in the episode and it shocks her.
That's Stillwater
In regards to the religion talk in the show, I get how you feel Holden, but you gotta remember it’s important to her character. She grew up with the idea that god made her special. That shaped who she is as a person, and now she’s grappling with the knowledge that isn’t true. Not saying it’s not a little heavy handed, just food for thought.
He needs thicker skin. That’s how the majority of people view religion. This is a channel dedicated to fiction and for him to spend so much time complaining about the perception of religion is hypocritical.
@@mattb7479 eh, I skip most of his religious videos. And as much as I like Jen, I honestly miss the my friend watches series. It just isn’t the same watching Jen ramble for 7 mins afterward instead of 4 or 5 people. Miss watching Jeremy, Matt and the rest of the crew.
@@mattb7479 This is his channel, and religion is apart of him, so your the selfish one judging him, he can defend his faith, because this is his channel, ur probably not religious so you dont get it.
It's character growth. Her character has become colder its sad but in later episodes I do remember her taking back her statement idk tho.
This season is truly explosive. Can't wait for more episodes.
Heh. "Explosive". Heheheh.
It's electrifying!
Nah THAT one scene was crazy!
I see what you did there
The great thing about this show is that it has mastered the art of escalation. Every episode is better than the previous, and I don't see that stopping with season 3. Love it.
Season 2 was crazy good can’t wait until June 3rd.
Jen- "I've noticed that every single episode is important, I don't think I could miss an episode and not miss something important".
Imagine if you SAW an episode and missed something important.... WHOS TO SAY?
You guys will like this season I think, it goes full speed every episode since the foundation of the story is there now.
The first head explosion has made me tense throughout the entirety of Season 2.
What’s funny is Hughies actor was also in hunger games as marvel.
Congrats both on you for getting married. Can't wait to watch this season with you! Are you guys going to be watching and uploading your reactions to the new season as each episode is released or will there be some time in between it comes before you can upload it? Cheers!
*The actor that plays gecko the regenerating man also played that kid in the onion video 'patriotic teen fails spanish' haha*
Really excited for you two ! Also, I'm glad you're reacting to the show cause I didn't feel like re-watching it by myself.
Love ya !
Hell yes! This is an amazing suprise because I’m so use to reaction channels waiting long times before going onto season 2 of things
Did you know there's a special ep0 of s2? It's about Butcher and what he was doing between s1 and s2. You gotta watch it if you haven't already.
Damn.. I didn't know!
@@user-dz6fy6qv2l yeh a filler one. After homelander saved him Buthcher went to one of his friend.
Congratulations on the wedding!
And you're going to love s2. So many character arcs gets more complicated, and there's some great humor. Can't wait for S3!
I don't think Starlight hates God. I think she just has doubts about whether or not a god actually exist.

@@Bananahammock681 You might say her faith was built on sand
I wonder how Holden would like Preacher. I am sure Jen would love it.
@@johnb2422 Might enjoy it given the almost cartoonish depiction of the beings in it.
@@ghostlee6434 I can see his point of view too, given a lot of times things like a crisis of faith is presented, it is heavy handed. So it's easy to think this is too, drawing from other experiences. But in The Boys, I think it's done pretty damn well without flat out saying "people who believe in God are idiots trollolloll"
I don't believe in him, but respect people who do and genuinely admire true faith.
I'm so happy Holden is also watching this for the first time!! It's so rare we get to see that from him. Love this season and can't wait!
I think the 'God' thing was more so a human response to being told that you were Gods gift and then the realisation that you're not. it's still very much relevant. It may feel like that for you because you've transitioned quickly from S1 to S2, but that operates as a good reminder of where our characters are at after the wait between the two seasons.
Great reaction, hope the wedding is great, hope after all the busy stuff is done with the wedding you get to Moon Knight!
Love the thumbnail!! All hail Queen Jen!!
Stillwater drinking game incoming xD ahaha. Dont worry, Jen! Dont let anybody make you feel bad. Its cute, if anything lol
Lot of good JUICY stuff to come this season, as well as some pretty good character development alongside the plot developments. I think you are both going to love it more than the first season.
And congrats on (almost) being married you two! Always good when life works out for people, all the best to you both and those adorable little furr babies!
I love Giancarlos' character, he will not be intimidated.
Like Gus
I had to rewatch your reaction to her head blowing up cause it was just so funny seeing you both react the same way at the same time 😂
"Homelander crushing his ears head I did not see it coming"
Don't feel bad, neither did he.
Homelander craves public approval of himself over everything else. That is the power they hold over him. He wants to be loved by the public so he has to keep who he is secret from them and if they turn on him he becomes almost useless. Nobody can hurt him, although the exploding head trick might work, so he fears nobody except Mr. Edgar who signs his paychecks. Homelander needs the love of the public for him or he becomes almost useless. That is his true weakness and if the public fears and hates him I don't know what he will do.
By the way Jen & Holden, you keep referring to her as Stillwater and now I’m getting in the same habit. LOL! ITS STILLWELL! You did this to me! Haha
I can't tell if it's a 'Sparrow' type of thing or if they actually think that's her name
@@awesomefacematt who knows we all get things mixed up. As long as we’re all having fun it’s not the end of the world.
@@awesomefacematt Holden knows it's Stillwell, or whoever does the editing knows because in the first watch alongs, every time Jen said Stillwater a glass of water with the name stillwell would flash on screen.

I just hope if they ever actually say Stillwell instead, we get a picture of a well, lol.
Oh man, I love that both of you are going into this season blind. I've forgotten so much of the smaller details of this series, so I'm digging going through this with you guys.
I'm glad you guys are watching season 2 cause season 3 is gonna be in june and I'm glad Holden liked the soldier boy reference because they casted him for season 3 as Jensen Ackles from supernatural
Congrats on the wedding y'all! you both deserve happiness
I love the short VFX intros in the start. DMFX is a talented Dude, I noticed on alot and really adds alot
They made Stillwell an interesting character in the show but in the comics he was a very different character, and I’m glad they chose to make Edgar act like how Stillwell was in the comics so we still get to see that character.
Homelander is a great character. The actor needs an Emmy. He does a amazing job . Love the show
I'm glad this won the poll. Can't wait for you to go thru with it, considering Season 3 will be out in May. By the way, this season's finale is going to be explosive as well.
11:55 FUN FACT: The actor that plays Hughie also played a character in The Hunger Games, he's the one that throws a spear at Rue.

Yes !! Glad you guys got into season 2 right away
LOL jen's yay when holden said they're getting married was so cute xD so happy for you two!
Thank god y’all are getting straight into season two. I was worried you two were gonna wait for 20 years to continue the show.
There are some Shorts about Stuff like how Butcher got there, you should watch these when you´ve finished the Main Season
Love the reaction as always!! Hope you guys have a fantastic wedding!! Also, two things, where did Jen get that water bottle and will you guys be reacting to Moon Knight?
Jen knows what's up!! Yes it's so crazy that this show makes hate these character but feel bad fir them at the same time... great writing!
Only Gus Fring can hand Homelander his lunch like that lol
Even superpowered beings fear Gus.
Every time jen says "Stillwater" instead of "Stillwell" I think of saints row 1 and 2
Omg here we go they really turn this season up a notch!!
Oh just wait there’s so much more coming I’m excited to see you both react since the both of you haven’t seen this season, it gets JUICY!
Love this series! I love watching movies with my girlfriend and you Holden literally do the same thing when they ask about what's going on or going to happen. Also sad I missed the chance to see you guys when you came to Chicago for the Marvel experience. Keep up the great work!
I couldn’t stand Karl Urban as an actor until this show, he’s just amazing as Butcher
14:34 Your reactions to both seeing something for the first time is AWESOME.
R.I.P Still Water😢
The Jenguin returns!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations you two!!!
P.S. This season is sooooo damn great!!
Congratulations to Jen and Holden! Wish you both a wonderful married life!

Both of y’all watching this fresh is EPIC
First I thought that Homelander is gonna just snap his fingers next to the guys ears to deafen him. But what he did is actually more fitting for his character
Let’s gooooo I’ve been waiting for that sooo f hard
Erik Kripke (the showrunner) also did Supernatural. The exploding body/red mist is his favorite effect. He uses it a lot.
Why is it still my "girlfriend watches" when it's Holden's first time seeing it too 😁🤔🤔
Time Traveller: *throws a rock*
The timeline: *literally the thumbnail*
Interesting note about the actor Giancarlo Esposito.
In the Harley queen animated series he voices Lex Luthor. Many ppl always wondered if he should have played as Lex in a live action roll.
Here his character is sorta like Lex luthor with him, a regular human wifh no powers is still able to keep homelander on a leash.
The Fresca thing is also a behind the scenes joke, like the annoying fly last season. They just want to push our buttons lol
Both of your reactions to Blindspot was priceless 😂😂😂
so glad you guys are watching this so soon
6:29 that moment Jen realized what Holden was looking towards after getting married
Congratulations on the wedding. I’m obsessed with seeing Jen watch homelander with the milk 🥛😂😂
This is the first time I'm watching one of the videos where Holden and Jen watch something that both haven't seen before.
Homelander smashing Blindspot's eardrums hits very differently after watching Daredevil!
Still enjoyed Holden's face when that happened. Although I missed what could have been a smug 'You won't believe what's about to come' face to Jen, lol!
Congratulations 🎊
I just watched your rehearsal dinner video. Its so good to see everyone together. Hope we get a wedding video. Love the channel and I wish you two a happily ever after.
"That was such a mind-blowing episode..." Yeah, especially for Stillwater.
There's a short that was released showing how Butcher escaped
Happy for yall❤️❤️💯
Sweet, can't (definitely will) wait to binge watch this in a couple of months.
The Stillwater gag still never ceases to crack me up
Biggest plot twist was that Homelander saved the baby
Congrats Holden!
I've gotta say that I think this is the first time I've sen both of you have a surprised look on your faces when CIA Director Raynor's head exploded. Priceless reaction. 😂
Can't wait for episode 3
Very excited for this one! Especially since it's a blind reaction for Holden!
I just realized the archer is the comedian langston kerman. Really funny guy his album is on spotify and he's hilarious I highly recommend listening to it. Fun fact: he was also a teacher.
Holy crap that new is siiiiiick well done man
bro i just love this channel also what patreon tier is the full uncut reactions ?
I wish you guys would watch "Banshee"! Starring the Homelander actor . A criminal becomes sheriff of a small town........crazy antics and crazier characters.
Holden Thomas Hardman!! You just told us, your Fight Club reaction would be the LAST one with "My girlfriend" in the title.....
Nobody:
jen:STILLWATER 😂
15:08 I'm so used to seeing him as Gus I keep expecting him to grab a box cutter or torment Hector Salamanca.
Poor Ashley. All she tries to do this entire season is survive.
That deputy director scene was mind blowing
