@marius kristensen agreed, he's too unstable for me to risk it
Not unless i have his weakness
"What we are really is a pharmaceutical company."
This really is Gus Fring in an alternate universe.
Just like McDonald's isn't in the fast food business, but really a real-estate company.
Stan Edgar,Gus Fring, Moff Gideon, that dictator from far cry, and Giancarlo are all variants of one another
This isn't gus fring in a alternate reality, this is just him at his 3rd job under a fake name. Even evil guys can be workaholics
@@sebastianmaregatti let's not forget the dentist from Payday 2

Basically telling homelander....that he's not The Quarterback.....he's just the Mascot
This begs the question: Who is the Quarterback?

It is THE best SuperHero TV Show,.. like The BEST
@@anishaarav3354 I would only Daredevil on the level of The Boys when it comes to comic book TV shows
@@x_master_xtop410 Very True👌,,, I thought about Daredevil while writing this Comment 😄,, Season 1 was the best😚
I like how homelander almost never kills the people that are not afraid of him
😂
For me, it’s quite surprising
He respects such people because they are the only ones that are either amusing enough or relatable to the extent that even if they are enemies, he can have proper conversations with them.
@@SadGoodman0001 Because Homelander is a man-child, he knows what Stan Edgar saying is true and is afraid of that. Homelander needs the company to cover him, for his reputation, which is everything to him. Stan Edgar is not afraid of Homelander because he knows Homelander's weaknesses. He's smart, confident and unwavering.
@@Monster_Fan111 he also sees Butcher as someone who he can have an honest conversation with.
@@Monster_Fan111 stan edgar isnt afraid of homelander bc he doesnt see homelander as anything other than a raging manchild and he doesnt respect immature people. and in the comics, his counterpart James was really just completely uninterested and bored by everything Homelander did
3:15 the best little touch here is Homelander taking his feet off the desk. It’s at the moment he realizes he’s not the one in charge here. Even though he tries to act tough and threatening a second later, he already revealed he’s intimidated by Stan’s authority
That's a great catch, but I'm going to nitpick:
Homelander knows he's lost during the little speech Gus makes as he approaches. By the time he reveals that he knows Homelander leaked the formula and says, 'manchild that you are...' that short, contemptuous glance at Homelander's feet- right there. It's great because his reaction is to fumble and remove his feet.
Like I said, it's a tiny thing, but I'm weird.
Scene is still a masterclass
@@lorenzodicapo6305The fact that you called him Gus 😂
Desk? That's not a desk.
The best thing about this scene is that Homelander can use his super hearing to read a person’s heart rate and he knows deep down that that guys genuinely NOT afraid of him.
Stan Edgar is scared of no one, super-powered or otherwise!
Stan knows Homelander can't go around Musclin' on *his* turf

@@Mangdup.the translation says "The Gus System" 💀
Only Giancarlo D'esposito can play at commanding authority to someone as powerful as Homelander. The fact that Stan was genuinely not afraid of him was crazy
Stan knows no fear! 🥶 th-cam.com/video/C6n7E2Ep4vQ/w-d-xo.html
can he play anything else tho ? looks more like the shtick of someone with a better than average "war face" ... maybe that's why he never played anything before getting typecasted in this
@@siddbastardhe played detective in Usual suspects

I'm sitting here wondering what a world with Honelander not in contract with Vaught looks like and was immediately terrified. Then I realized Stan has Victoria Neuman.

"I dont appreciate your tone"
*Stan talking with the calmest voice I've ever heard*

LOL
_Intro theme plays_
Bro we need a edit based on this
Giancarlo is one of the best villain actors of all time. It’s not even a debate.
His slight smile is enough to send chills down your back.
Best villain ever, I got dirt on your dirt 🤯
And he got his start in the original production of Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along. It's amazing how he evolved from a comic actor to a frightening villain.
I met him at a con, he is the loveliest guy in the world. When we got our photo taken he immediately shifted into iconic villain form, and then as soon as it was over was an absolute sweetheart again. Insanely talented dude
Yeah but he just plays the same guy every time
I love how the power shifts. Homelander goes in there like he owns the place, Stan lets him speak, then just matter-of-factly busts him down and takes complete control.
I love when he takes off his glasses before his speech. Such a 'you are beneath me' move.
He's not standing up to Homelander, he's looking down on him.
Underrated comment
@@Beatmurva frr
Bro speaking the truth
And talking down to him.
I liked your comment just for the pfp Corporal Sheppard
The actor who plays homelander seems to have a talent in showcasing passive aggressiveness
I was just thinking this. He switches into that persona/character effortlessly. As if he's being himse- nvm :D
He played identical twins in the NZ TV show Outrageous Fortune. Fella is a solid actor.
And yes, the two leads of The Boys are kiwis. :P
His Homelander is a man-baby smart enough not to show it. Too much.
@@ZaphodHarkonnen homelander and butch?

I remember him saying in one of the other scenes "You're simply a BAD PRODUCT." :D
@@imagi.nation1429😂😂😂😂
Valuable doesn’t really make sense, something like worthless would be better.
Giancarlo truly has mastered switching from completely innocent to absolutely threatening in an instant. You could blink and miss the transition
“Manchild that you are…” I love how Edgar lasers down Homelander with just words.
Who needs laser eyes when you can talk like Edgar? 😬
The best part is how that's a direct response to homelander's line about the lecture being condescending. It's Stan doubling down and basically telling homelander that he's being condescending because he sees Homelander as no more than a child throwing a tantrum.
Doesn’t even look at him when he says it
Like he’s not even worth the energy
Edgus
He literally hit him where it hurts
Man really stared homelander straight in the eye and called him a manchild without even hesitating nor flinching. Cold.

Anthony starr's portrayal of the character is masterful. Bullies push until they meet genuine resistence. If you give in you embolden them.
It's crazy the way Edgar just sits there silently staring at Homelander before he responds to him 🫡👑
Stan Edgar's stare says it all! 👀 th-cam.com/users/shorts5LQUV8aHem8
Like, "Is this fu€ker REALLY wanting to bark at me?"
THIS is HOW you do a menacing villain. No screams, no shouts, just a calm demeanor with a firm tone of voice explaining to the "hero" that he's just a pretender.
Yes, that,s why i prefer for example Jared Harris as Moriarty than BBC version with Andrew Scott- his shouting and babbling really was dull and iritating, Harris was more menacing, especially when he was torturing Sherlock Holmes while singing a song about trout, or telling Sherlock he will send regards to Watson and Mary.

Always saw this as a demonstration of what happens when a sociopath meets a psychopath.
One of my favorite scenes of the series. Two absolutely GENIUS actors in character. The way Esposito played Stan in that one moment, pausing before stopping. Capturing how much of a literal genius/prodigy (and sociopath) Stan Edgar was that he was running through a million different machinations before deciding the correct way HE WANTED to crush Homeland's entire perception of the company and his place, while simultaneously capturing a brief probe into 'what side' Homelander was on with Stormfront and what, if anything, he knew about her. Just genius!
Homelander: *I’m gonna threaten this guy, I bet he’s gonna freak out!*
Stan Edgar: 🗿
Literally.
awesome! 1 cool point for you
This comment literally made me laugh out loud..
😂 😂

His heart literally doesn't skip a beat when talking to Homelander in the comics
The REAL Stilwell
There is no Stan Edgar in the comic. It is Stillwell.
@@bunnyfreakz Stan Edgar is obviously taking the place of Stillwell. It's basically the same character
@@Ajaxlancer I think we will still see Stilwell in the show in Season 3, he is afterall, Edgar's assistant.
@@trask9100 We had Stillwell the woman Homelander melted the face off of.
If you look closely at 3:40 you can see homelander flinch a bit seeing his intimidation tactic didn't work
Stan really is one of my favorite characters on the show. I like that he isn’t overused but when he does show up he is amazing.
It's called gravitas
I love the silence at 1:20 where Homelander sits there, smug, thinking "Ha! Gotcha. You don't know what to say" whilst Edgar is just gathering himself to cash the largest reality check with Homelanders name on it.
You just know he was just waiting for the day this little scrub would walk in and talk that trash.
That pause is what makes the whole scene
@ZAP GAMERZ I didn't think about the heart rate. They probably should have made that alittle clearer to the audience
The smooth telephone noise made it for me
I actually got a "my already low expectations of this worm have been lowered and I can't even fell surprised" vibe myself.
I just like how homelander acts like a manchild. These actors deserves an award for their brilliant performances.
I mean from my own slight knowledge of how mental stuff works.
Homelander fits *very* nicely into the narcassistic child, the narcasist who thinks of themselves above all else while still acting like a spoiled little child.. they might be a clever child but mentally they're age is barely double didgets if even that
Comics homelander is even more of a man child. Here he’s more methodical yet still childish
Antony Starr: "what performance?" :D
Maybe they arent acting. 😁😂🤣

Wow, can't believe Gus had such a change of heart in his career path. Ventured towards new beginnings and wanted to make a difference and right his wrongs. Truly wholesome.
You mean right?
Ive never seen a scene that so perfectly captures the difference between confidence and arrogance quite like this one
What i love about Giancarlo Esposito is the way he acts his menacing roles. He isn’t physically intimidating (no muscular physique), He doesn’t boast a massive intellect (while still having one), He doesn’t shout or yell or use swearwords.
He simply starts off with a regular amount of respectful language and voice tone but when the situation turns, his face turns cold and then he; remains quiet/starts talking/ becomes more confrontational only when necessary.
He truly is a great actor! 👏🏻
He has great roles in successful shows, he's also the villain in the new Far Cry 6 game.
@@Juan-bm7nr And Better Call Saul!
My personal favorite is his role as The Dentist, and this man is unsettling and threatening in every way when he wants to be.
You should watch the movie, 'Fresh'.
He also plays the role of Moff Gideon amazingly in The Mandalorian
“Man child that you are” he’s gonna need some milk. After that one.
🤣🤣🤣
...and he actually goes to get it.
Tittay milk
I understood that reference
And some Prep-H.
Giancarlo Esposito is so elegantly ruthless in every role he takes on. A truly gifted actor.
"No, no, Stan. I _am_ Vought."
You cannot get that arrogant with a Giancarlo Esposito character and get away with it. Perfect casting for Stan.
Love how homelander harps about people always lying to him, yet this scene is one of the only times I can think of where people were truly being honest with him, AND IT INFURIATES HIM
Homelander’s values toward honesty are the difference between people being submissive and pretending to be submissive. The idea of someone using honesty to tear him down is way out of his comfort zone.
@@halosammy14 -but is homelander breedable or pretending to be bree--
That's normal, he's a spoiled child. Nothing surprising.
Ye and he can't even retaliate in that scene which makes it all the more satisfying for us viewers
@@OlTimeyChara ...what does that mean?😅...
Giancarlo Esposito is such a phenomenal actor. He's intimidation incarnate. Gus just put Homelander in his place without breaking a sweat. No adrenaline for him to smell. No rapid heart beat.
What do you expect? This is the man that runs Los Pollo Hermanos
@@alexmarlow2508 And he is no chicken.
Gus🤣🤣🤣
As someone who likes the Boys Comics (Theme wise), Stillwell is perfectly shown here.
In fact, he's even more amazing than in the comics I'd say
He’s also the same man who played The Dentist in Payday.
One slight detail I like is how at first homelander tries to show that he is in control by putting his feet on the table, but as the conversation goes on and Edgar calls him out on releasing Compound V, he flinches and takes his feet of the table. Showing he lost his edge in the conflict
-You are not our most valuable asset
-Then who is it?
*Lyle enters the room*
I like the way Giancarlo pronounces “Confidential” as if he could not stress it enough that it’s supposed to be kept a secret.
Which Homelander put in jeopardy by spreading Compound V around the world. Homelander screwed up and Edgar knows it, which is one more thing he can hold over Homelander.
This dude steals the scene in every movie. What a freaking BOSS MOVE.
💯
And video game don't forget about Far Cry 6
Except the usual suspects imo lol. He's pretty forgettable there.
No one can beat Gustavo in an argument.
Does he get the awards?
The CEO is great actor. This scene is a brilliant demonstration of power play. Amazing writing and acting.

@@Erik-cl5ff May be Secretly Stan is more powerful than Homelander ! You never know !
Homelander may have an indestructible body, but he has an ego as fragile as a Christmas tree ornament. Stan on the other hand is an ordinary man of discipline and internal power.
It’s a fantastic dynamic.
I like Stan’s deep settled smile throughout this scene. He knows he had homelander the moment he tried to challenge Stan.
"LOOK AT ME, LANDER"
The most intimidating thing to a bully is the knowledge that you aren't at all afraid of them. This scene is a perfect representation of that.

Atleast until they start proving it with their fists.

What a position of power from Stan. Love that scene! We can learn a lot from his body language and the way he talks - so relaxed and calm, even when faced with potential problem.
Just two great actors making a great scene. Simple.

@@DarkAdonisVyers there's no hope
You can tell the exact moment Stan stopped kidding around. When Homelander first walks in, Stan is all smiles and praise. When Homelander threatened to "move on", however, Stan's face could have been carved out of ice.
"I tried being polite and respectful, but if you're going to make threats let me tell you exactly where you stand."
Hahahahahaha
I was acting…
Or was I
Almost bar for bar in that one scene where Walt goes "I believe we're alike in that way"
Which is why Giancarlo would be perfect casting for Mister Freeze in the next Batman movie.
Giancarlo’s acting is on point as usual lol have loved this man ever since breaking bad
The writers behind this scene know how companies work better than most managers I've known.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the emphasis on “human” @2:14? Even this early into the lecture, Stan’s already dragging Homelander back down to reality: he started as a human too.
Technically yes but keep in mind his dad and possibly his mom were supes.
Stan standing up to homelander is like one of those guys who don't flinch when an elephant or gorilla charges at them.
He created doubt in homelanders mind.
Anyone else got goosebumps during this scene? ✋
Homelander has no idea how to deal with someone who isn't afraid of him.
Not sure about "Created", more like "Caused"
He knows who homelander is on the visceral level. Hes a mentally fragile and emotionally weak person. The super strong superheroe guy he portrays to the world isn't what he sees at all. He sees an immature little boy with super powers who doesn't even know who he is.
He slits throats with a boxcutter like Tuesdays, a Superboy Prime wannabe isn't gonna intimidate him.
You know what occurred to me with this scene? "Don't you have a premier of 'Techknight Lives' to go to?" Knowledge in and of itself is power. And just that little minute detail of Edgar calling the movie by its title helps that thought process. Homelander is beneath him, but Edgar still knows all he needs to know about Homelander
What a subtle way to show that he's watching his every move and can ruin him in a moment's notice as soon as he becomes more trouble than it's worth.
They really need to explain how and why edgar is so uniquely nonchalant in the face of Homalander's wrath
Hes a pyscopath. They tend to be calm when faced with challenges.

I'll admit, Homelander looked very familiar, I started digging fast and was reminded of his awesome role in Banshee; it's literally the human version of Homelander.
The way banshee ended was disappointing
When homelander realised that none of his powers could be used to make Stan Edgar be wrong he saw what real power was.

"how would your shareholders feel about that"
the way stan goes silent and stares at homelander. I like to imagine because he knows about homelanders amazing hearing and how he uses it to read people, that Stan stood in silence to let homelander hear his heartbeat, to let him know that nothing about homelander, what he is, what he can do and ESPECIALLY what he is saying has any affect on him. And that makes him mighty.
Giancarlo is a master of silent intimidation. Brilliant.
Tywin Lannister does the same many times throughout game of thrones
@@davidvanrensburg1959 Tywin never has something with the sheer power of homelander in his face
Bravo vince!
I think he became silent because that was what Stan feared most. Stan feared Homelander's ability to cost him money more than his ability to rip him limb from limb.
GIANCARLO I'm dying. I always use this word as a joke name because it just sounds so funny. GIANCARLOOO
I love how he let homelander feel like he was in control right up until he tried to get in his face then he was like, Sit! Rollover!
this dialogue is the definition of "i dont need no super eyes to roast you"
I love how homelander walks in with the same passive threats that he uses on everyone else in Vought to grab power, but Edgar doesn’t bite, to the point where homelander had to directly threaten to leave the company to assert power over Edgar. Yet edgar is having none of it, and puts homelander in his place with no direct threats, just showing the position of power he has with full iron, not even backing down to homelander face to face. Very classy power check
Even with his sly comment at the end saying homelander has to go to a meaningless press show at the end, while they’re actually running the company
As Alfie said: "Never give power to the big guy"

1:19 These long moments of silently looking into each others' eyes are so utterly magnificent. Homelander thinks he has a winning hand and is waiting for Edgar to crumble. Edgar is only weighing Homelander as a man, and considering the right amount of damage to inflict on his ego.

Instead of owning them it makes you look like you have some personal baggage with the term man child especially since Homelander is a man child. That’s his character.
"man child" is the kind of phrase that only man children use.
With every scene Homelander is in he brings in a cloud of absolute terror; no one ever knowing what he's going to do next. Everyone in the room and audience feels it.
But not here.
The terror just falls flat here, and Homelander knows it.
1:21 he turned into Gus Fring... Lol
Love the acting at 1:26, you can see him eagerly listening in, hoping to hear Edgar’s heart rate jump at the threat, only to be met with disappointment.
I am not surprised Edgar isn't scared of Homelander, Edgar loves having power over people, especially people who believe they have power themselves. Beyond anything I think Edgar enjoys standing up to Homelander in this scene.
That's pretty wild🥶
You reached for the starts with this one
The steps in the background even resemble heartbeats
@@Needformadness2lmao fr
I love how Mr. Edgar basically tells Homelander exactly who Stormfront is on this scene but Homelander still doesn't understand the undertone of the context of the Frederich Vought story.
He makes it sound more like stormfront is Vaught's daughter/granddaughter.
@@kyleellis1825 Yeah he probably was well aware of her real origins and well Stormfront is probably about as old as Soldier Boy (maybe even a bit older). Her wisdom/life experience is valuable. He had plans to make do/dispose of her if need be down the road
Clearly Homelander never watched Breaking Bad.
Hughie was seen with Oppenheimer during the test. This proves he’s immortal.
I like to think that at 1:19 Homelander is reading Stan's heartbeat and the reason his expression becomes neutral is because he realizes Stan is unphased by his empty threat.
And combined with that staredown Stan gave Homelander after the threat. There was no emotional response at all on his face to the threat.
That was a “really n****” moment for Stan here
You're right, Stan starts talking only after Homelander's face become neutral. He waits for Homelander to realize who got the power in the room.
@@thibautisserant That's so true ! He wanted to show that the threat made wasn't as powerful as Homelander thought it would be
I like to think I see things in people
Giancarlo
No matter the role. He's always the last man standing in the art of Putting people in their place.
Be they indestructible suited bounty hunters... or men who can bring down buildings with a bat of the eye lashes
He’s always the last man standing in the art of putting people in their place….unless he’s up against Heisenberg
@@saturnringer267 Or the Payday gang
Wasn't standing for long in breaking bad if you catch my drift
He definitely got this job because of his work as Gus.
Not so great with certain Jedi Knights though.
Really love character like this, no mind blowing superpower yet it seems they have the situation completely in control
I love how homelander’s face is always him trying to contain himself
I love this scene. I love how Stan puts Homelander in his place not by yelling or arguing, because you can't go toe to toe with Homelander's ego and temper tantrums. Instead, Stan neatly throws him off balance with a seemingly out of left field question: "What do you know about Frederick Vought?" HL still tries to be snarky and in control, but it's too late. Stan has already startled him out of his tantrum and egomania to leave him vulnerable enough to accept Stan's words as the boss finally and bluntly informs HL's place in the world and in Vought. Homelander can't pretend that he's bluffing about any of this either, because Stan's heart never moved a beat faster.
He even de-claws HLs: "I only read his Bio 5 times". 😄 "Oh, yiu mean the Chump Version??
