An hour long? Now this is a treat.
happy you dont find it too long
Love the costume changes. Never realized that Soldier Boy's breast plate is a fake medal of honor.
heh
Stolen Valor
FYI, the 'bennies' that Soldier Boy snorts aren't benzodiazepines. It's an old slang term for Benzedrine, the trade name for the first commercially available amphetamines. They were used heavily by soldiers during WWII, especially those in elite units (like Soldier Boy) who might have to be awake for days at a time.
Amphetamine is still used in many millitaries. The US Air Force only replaced it (though technically amphetamine can still be used, and likely would in a full scale war) once modafinil became available. And that was because amphetamine + sleep deprivation was implicated in accidents.
It also makes you paranoid AF
Black Noir's little cartoon buddies were the most reassuring and simultaneously unsettling things about his character. He did the most violent, brutal murders and we can see that they impacted him emotionally (arguably more brutal than Homelander's because they were so hands-on), but knowing that he was able to pacify himself like this is so unsettling.
I cried the first time I saw the video about abuse and Butcher. The second time isn't going better. I don't envy your job Miss Dow, it would wreck me. You're a good person.
I genuinely think Homelander needs therapy and a healthy support system. I would never ask a therapist to do this though, because it's probably akin to that doctor signing their own death warrant. And that's a shame.
The therapy ship has sailed for Homelander years ago.The man’s a mass murdering maniac, who’s committed rape, facilitated terrorism and has committed a thousand other acts of cruelty.
Right, I was thinking the same, unless his therapist is a sup that is more powerful than him.
Unfortunately Homelander's far past that point
I'm a strong believer in rehabilitation, but the one thing that makes rehabilitation impossible is power. The only way Homelander could ever heal is if he lost his powers and was forced to reckon with his humanity.
Poor Noir. I would say it's likely he was both struggling with physical damage coupled with his natural coping mechanisms and his imagination felt comfortable and safe where he feels like he can be vulnerable and communicate safely with his friends.
When you changed to the black noir costume I nearly spat out my coffee laughing. Well done.
16:00 i love the way this soothing sentimental piano soundtrack sounds a little bit disharmonious and therefore unnerving at this moment because this moment is so needed for both of them, but it happens in the worst possible circumstances and for the worst possible reason
great catch
I heard that too and had to rewatch the scene lol
This boys mash up puts the biggest smile on my face you should do videos on the characters of the boys spin off Gen V
thank you as always = ))
@@GeorgiaDow Don’t mention it happy 🎃
Wait talking to ourself is ok? My theater kid self is not a crime?
I loved how just by replying to my comments, about my hatred of The Boys, you validated my feelings and encouraged me to tell my therapist about it.
i hope it was helpful. wish you all the best
We found your videos this summer and we really appreciate the care you take when breaking down these characters! Your videos are always a joy to watch sending much love ❤
Thank you so much!
I think black noir has psychosis, he couldn’t distinguish the cartoons from reality .. possibly from brain injury or trauma or both
Beautiful analysis 👌👌💜
Thank you kindly!
Georgia, with this video you are the real hero!
why thank you
Good work entering the realm and giving good advice and analysis
He’s nightmare. Fuel
Homelander...if there was ever a definition for majorly overcompensating LOL. Then you meet his dad and it's like "Okay...that makes sense...I can see how this guy is produced now." I know it's probably not withing your Channel's wheelhouse, but I'd be interested to hear your take on Masha in Nine Perfect Strangers. Man, you don't know if you should see the good behind every decision or the way her actions read, when people find out she's drugging them etc. It almost seems like she has very good reasons for her actions but highly questionable methods.
You were very helpful Georgia, in fact when I found myself getting angry at The Boys and it's popularity, I figured that your The Boys videos were a great place to share my hatred for that franchise. Because of your initial response, you not only showed me that you are the right person to share these feelings with, you also reminded me that it's part of your job, so I got the idea to share my negative feelings about The Boys with my therapist.
Just to remind you I posted what my therapist said in your video about Butcher.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Watching right now Georgia = ) Will come back when its over and EDIT this comment! EDIT: It warms the cockles of my heart and makes me gleefully giddy that I found you near the beginning of your TH-cam adventure = ) Which makes it such a joyful pleasure to watch these compilations of episodes from your heroic journey. All the effort you put in is to lovingly be able to be of help to others...and it makes me so happy to have been here to seen it all unfold You are a treasure.
thanks for the constant support
@@GeorgiaDow Got your back, Girl
You're gonna inspire some future authors to make some really good character dramas. Just wait.
Yay!!! I needed a good Georgia Dow video today! Thank you makes work a lot easier to get through 😂 plus your insights are just the best keep it up! Btw the mizrak and olrox videos are amazing cant wait for this one ☝️
aww appreciate it
I would also love to hear your thoughts on Gen V the spin off
You could do something about the Netflix One Piece version. You could also do the anime but that hat over 1000+ episodes.
Amazing analysis 👍
Yay one hour vids 👏👏👏 more pls
yay
Black Noir will always be my favorite character, even if he gets replaced by a clone or some shit
Thanks for broadening the term from "toxic masculinity" to the concept of toughness, this is something that's not unique to men and it's not our fault we had these traits pushed into our brains more than women did.
Yes i think words matter and gendering things omits others from having to be accountable
Can you make analysis of Vergil from Devil May Cry?
Black Noir doesn't want to be that murder hobo Voight made him. He would have chosen helping people if he could have but he was given only one option. And he was too damaged to ever disagree with their orders.
Are you doing Gen V? A lot of stuff to analyze in that and it is from the world of The Boys
i think so yes
Theres an anime called evangalion I think you'll love breaking that down 🔥
it has been recommended a lot I will see
This was great. Could you please do a take on Mother’s Milk.
I will see when the new season comes out so many great characters
I realized just now that perhaps the reason why Homelander knows exactly what to say to his son is because Soldier Boy taught him exactly what not to say. Having overtly abusive parents creates more of an impetus to change as an adult…subtly abusive and neglectful parents cause more damage long term. Was your dad like Soldier Boy?
Will you ever do Wolverine from the X-Men movies? especially "Logan" and "The Wolverine-2013". I feel as if there's a lot of psychological things to tackle with his character.
Dish gloves!!!!
lol some sort of pleather i think
GURRL AN HOUR!? lemme get my snacks. hold on, I'm excited.
yay
Homelander's need for love and connection, even when he tries to push it away, plus his fear of abandonment is more so Borderline than NPD he has tendencies but I don't think that he's solely a Sociopathic Narc.
You might want a therapy session on anger of positive male role models.... Little too much anger maybe. Still, I love ya. You are a great girl.
I think I have a few on more positive instead of insecure male role models. But the boys has some great depictions of insecurities which are exceptionally well done and acted.
@@GeorgiaDow Yae! You replied to me!!! I love your videos! You have made a lot of positive influences on me. Yes, you are absolutely right about the boys being full of insecurities..... from the supers to the boys themselves. Disregard my previous message. It was ill concieved. At the time I thought it funny.... but in retrospect.... no, its not funny. I am always looking forward to you videos. I have been watching you since your Jinx video. I do beg your pardon and appologize. But am gleeful as a schoolboy that your replied. So I have mixed fealings on that. You are extremely thoughtful in your videos, and very insightful. You have a very perceptive mind. You are cool!!!
Honest question: why therapists are so averse to labels and categorizing? I understand the rationale behind it, that labels are limiting, but isn't rejecting it also limiting? I mean, think about mainstream medicine: the best way to treat any disease is to categorize it first.
"There is a beauty in caring about something enough that they can hurt us." Refusing to treat wounds, emotional or fisicl will not make you strong.
Having mispellings when making a point makes you look unintelligent and deminishes your point. I thought you were trying to say fiscal for 20 minutes
@@linkholder Well I'm dislexoc
@@linkholder Since you're actively judging others for their spelling, it's 'diminishes', not 'deminishes'. Making a spelling mistake when critiquing someone's spelling isn't the best look.
And hour of soothing voice therapy well gonna go to sleep for my ASMR treament here we go
Btw the Gallica reference is both subtle and poignant.
I don’t want to self diagnose or anything, but I’ve been seeing some things lately that I’m pretty sure aren’t real, I’m a lot less motivated than I used to be, I’m more anxious, and I show less interest in my hobbies. Am I going to be ok?
if you ever feel the need you can get assessed by someone there is nothigj wrong with a check in. Your mental health is worth it. I wish you the best
@@GeorgiaDow I’ve been thinking about it, but it’s kind of scary to open up to someone I’ve never met. Thanks for your words of encouragement though.
Ooh nice, yeah do more compilations like this for sure!
i plan on it
So in the comics, Maeve does not stand a chance against Homelander weird that in the show she does, it’s also weird that she somehow survives losing her powers in explosion while thousands of feet lol
44:11 her iriash accent was sao obvious lol
Homelander never had a chance if the situation his situation was different he might of actually turned out the hero tragic
She should not be able to hurt him canonically
talking to yourself is healthy and normal? I keep telling myself that
lol
When watching homelander talk to him self is like watching willems green goblin both do it incredibly. Goblin did it better tho.
Day 3 of asking Georgia to do *something* on Warhammer 40k or the Horus Heresy, maybe a reaction on the Primarchs
day 1 of asking Georgia to analysis on Warhammer 40k
Might be difficult without a visual medium to go with it
oh my hehe hmm not sure how I would approach it
@@GeorgiaDow Henry Cavill is making a Warhammer 40k TV-series. If it’s on the Horus Heresy, then you’re golden.
@@GeorgiaDow Day2 of asking Georgia to analysis on Warhammer 40k
35:17
Dear Georgia Dow can I ask you are you going to watch Hazin Bin Hotel and Hell of a Boss? There is a lot of things in it that might be of interdred to you?
i havent looked into it yet but ill see
Nice
wait no... they're mittens?!?!
Miss U Geordia on Twit
I like homlander and feel bad for him honestly the best part of the show and wouldn’t watch with out him butcher is okay his existence is to fight Homelander
Please do one on halo game (not the TV series) 😊
Do a video on kratos from God of war
Talking to yourself is healthy and normal you say, BUT is it around many people? Where I work, there is a worker with a mental situation that talks to himself all the time. Sometimes, seems he talks to an invisible friend. It gets VERY VERY IRRITATING!!! 1 time couldn't help myself after 1 full day work, I told him politely to shut up, he disturbed me and others. So is it healthy and normal???
First and foremost "normal" isn't a word anyone should be using when discussing mental health issues, there is no "normal" when it comes to human minds, but I understand that for everyday conversation the word does serve a purpose. Just asking "Is this mentally healthy?" or "Is this a sign of any mental illnesses or conditions?" is a better way of wording the questions. So, in general, talking to yourself out loud, even in public, is a perfectly healthy thing to do. There are people who don't run the same kind of internal dialogue as most of us, or who just prefer audibly hearing their thoughts, and these people function better when they speak their thoughts out loud. That aside, certain types of speaking to oneself can be cause for alarm, as certain mental illnesses like schizophrenia have this type of behavior as a symptom. If your coworker seems to just be "thinking out loud" then they're probably fine, but you did say it seems like he's talking to an imaginary friend, which _could_ be evidence for some level of schizophrenia. Essentially, if he's speaking as if there's an entire other human being he's talking to, but you're only hearing one half of a conversation he's having with himself, or the content of the conversation seems to be dangerous, those might be signs of schizophrenia or some other such ailment.
If you think that might be the case, have a conversation with him about it, gently so as not to offend him and so it doesn't feel like you're accusing him of something. If he agrees that from his perspective he's having an actual conversation with a separate voice then you might be able to convince him to visit a mental health professional just to figure out for sure if all is well. Neither you nor I are professionals here, so the best we can ever do is ask someone to visit someone who actually is, as politely as we can. It essentially always sounds rude coming from anyone but our close friends and family, so if you happen to know any of them that might be the best avenue. Regardless, he's probably fine, but really everyone should be getting mental health check ups just like we all get regular medical doctor check ups.

Gen V vid?
The show isn't even over yet lol
i think this will happen
costumes hahaha
Second
But actually "psychosis" is a outdated term. It seems like more a schizofrenia
Or maladaptive daydreaming disorder
First
