The boys is filled with great characters and superheroes. They don't last long. I think that's what makes the show so great. You just don't know who's gonna die. Well excluding Homelander and the boys, everyone else is fair game. 🤷🏽♂️
In the comics, Vought tries to revive Lamplighter, but he turns into Gollum from the Hobbit, maybe they're gonna write that into the show, Or some alternative way.
i think it's the staff that makes it absurd. without it he looks like green arrow. but the fire and the design of the staff itself completely contrasts with the costume.
Yeah honestly the staff itself looks kind of silly, like maybe if the part where fire comes out was smaller and just went straight upwards rather than out the sides it may actually look neat hut that's just me
Frenchie is a piece of shit... sad. I liked him a lot but hes just a selfish malicious dude. This new season just recontextualized him in the previous seasons. Blehhh frenchie. You suck now man.
It's amazing how the show portrayed suicide in his final moments. People who have decided to end their lives usually have this final moment of epiphany and bliss, which is why many people are like "But he/she was so happy" when they do end it all. You can see that personality shift in him after he finally decides to end it in front of his statue. He spends the entire day watching porn after porn, and when infiltrating the tower, he's the most excited of all. In the end, this show may just want to be a thriller comedy, and I'm sure we're not supposed to feel bad for lamplighter as much as we are supposed to be shocked by his actions, but damn man, it really pulls on the heartstrings.
No your half right, he was watching porn, because after he was pardoned by Grace Mallory, he FELT all his grief he was holding over the years was finally off his chest. He was then looking for Action/thrill/mission whatever you wanna call it. Watching porn was his way of trying to enjoy but that was not doing it for him. So when he went in the rescue mission with hugie and saw they removed his statue & realised people valued him so little for the things he did. He finnally understood he only wanted to make his dad proud and spent all his life doing that. There never was a character Lamp Lighter, that person in the show was just mirroring what his dad wanted to do what the supe team wanted to do what Vought wanted him to do. When he realised that, Death was better then continuing the life he never choose to have.
@@words007 Lamplighter says "I wanted to do it in front of my statue" right before he lit himself up. When Mallory was contemplating shooting him, he said "you'd be doing me a favour". He had already decided he would die that day, maybe watching Porn the entire day was his idea of having that final moment of bliss, but like you said, it didn't work. So instead, when he asked to go to the Vought tower, he finally understood just how he wanted to go out.
It was actually representing how he feels and what porn does to men. It makes you the cuck, you watch while performers do the real work. It feminizes and dehumanizes them into being the cuck.
@@slewone4905 That is when they are about to kill themselves. This moment of clarity and happiness happens when they've made the DECISION that they will kill themselves, or on the day that they have decided that they will. it's different.
There are salutes like that all over. I see dead people boy could grab your hand and know you as Mesmer, which is the power costar Bruce Willis had in Unbreakable. Soldier Boy is not just Captain America clone, but the title of Soldier Boy was the nickname of the guy played by Homelander in the series BANSHEE. When the Deep was talking to a lobster is directly from a scene in a graphic novel about Aquaman. Homelander tossing a baseball to the horizon salutes the Chris Reeves movies kicking a football miles away and later batting a baseball into space.
I agree, someone just recently gave me an Xbox one and I'm now playing it, Quantum Break and it's one of my favorite games. I'm a PlayStation gamer so I didn't play it when it came out six years ago. Now I feel kinda weird that a game from last gen is practically new to me and Shawn as Jack Joyce is damn amazing. If QB came out on PS4 back when it first came out in 2016 I would have enjoyed and played it then but oh well I'm enjoying and playing it now so that's what matters. Also based on these clips, Shawn seems a bit too obnoxiously intimidating and scary so I prefer him as Jack Joyce, and as Jack he's amazingly heroic.
With limited time on screen he gave very nuanced, conflicting and ultimately tragic character. I legit thought that he would become one of the main characters. Missed opportunity and most interesting character in the series imho.
“I’m either still in the system or we’re about to be swarmed by guards with AKs…but I really I don’t care because I’m going to off myself but it would be really nice to do it in the old conference room and BOOM my plan is still a go.”
Such an underrated character. Way more interesting than Stormfront as a minor antagonist. He knew how much of a scumbag he was but never dressed it up or argued some dumb villain twisted villain logic about what he did was right. He expected to be killed and wanted to be killed.
I already knew it was Shawn Ashmore but i forgot he played Ice Man in X Men. Shame they wasted Lamplighter but it was great seeing Shawn in another superhero media.
I'm glad to know that Quantum Break hasn't been forgotten. I still remember that exact voice line from when Paul was contemplating on choosing a PR friendly route or a Hardline approach.
He went from Ice man to Lamp Lighter.
Poetry.
To fireman 😂 lol you remember in x men when he was fighting fireman and fire man always had the lighter
@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 Pyro,if I remember correctly.
@@rohits7364 pyro would be exact
Alexa play Hot n' Cold x Katy Perry. 🤣
I remember he also could transform into a tiger or something like that in an old tv series.
So he manipulates ice in X-Men, manipulates time in Quantum Break and now manipulates fire in the Boys.
And manipulated his own body in Animorphs (changed into animals)
Guy sure loves manipulating
@@Zaacdrums He also Manipulated people in front of a judge in The Rookie
@@VsXLucKy been waiting for this comment lol
@@VsXLucKy he loves manipulating so much he finds ways to do it in different shows and genres
*Great character. Wish he lasted longer.*
He was very flammable

Always leave ‘em wanting more.
The brightest lamplighters burn the shortest I always say
He took the quote “You have become the thing you swore to destroy” too far 😂
Iceman hated pyro so bad to become him
“I just wanted to make my dad proud”
That was relatable … and so was what came next
I'd take hanging more, but I feel ya lmao

u ok bro?
@@zippyparakeet1074 meh more or less thanks
Been there bro
The Boys may laugh, but Lamp Lighter totally had the coolest outfit in the 7.

Tbh Black Noir for me. For payback, Soldier Boy too but maybe it's just Jensen making it. And Mindstorm with the coat was pretty drippy.
@@Cicadicsaint204 You gotta stop saying drippy, or drip. You wanna talk like a moolinyan we'll send you to slip and fall school.

Pretty ironic Frenchie is giving Lamplighter shit for killing Mallory's grandchildren considering the state of things in season 4 lol
Frenchie is a piece of shit... sad. I liked him a lot but hes just a selfish malicious dude. This new season just recontextualized him in the previous seasons.

better than homeboy

+1 or it will break Quantum (✷‿✷)
I love Shawn and I love this character. Some of the best, iconic “the boys” scenes.
The van scene's what killed me. His face was GOLD!
The irony playing *ICE MAN* having a last name as *ASHMORE* playing *LAMPLIGHTER* then physically turning into ash *AWESOME*
Good for Ashmore! Finding success after Animorphs and X-Men
Wait, he was on Animorphs?
@@GaryTurbo Yeah he was the MC Jake
I love how even Mallory couldn’t contain her laughter 😂

Now back in the Alan Wake dlc😊

"only a fucking animal would do what you did" that line had some serious weight to it
From Ice to Fire.
Man has such huge range🙏
No it's ice to time and then fire
i knew i recognized him i didnt know where
Did you not recognise him from X-Men. He played bobby drake (iceman)
he played jimmy olsen in Smallville :p
@@xp1254 That was his twin Aaron.
@@xp1254 Aaron Ashmore.
Hes a lawyer in The Rookie with Nathan fillion
Hughie has this great alluring to make people to confess their secrets to him
I guess he rather dies manipulating fire than lives long enough to become ice man.
Funny how he has ice powers on X Men yet he has fire powers on here
The multiverse really is going crazy if Bobby is Pyro now smh... GIMME AARON STANFORD AS ICE MANIPULATOR NOW-
This guy has a cool last name, hope his character comes back like they did with the comics
Good god i hope not
This guy has Ice, time and fire powers.
Tbh I miss him cool ass character wish he didn’t die
Wished he was in the show longer.
Like he was a Zuko type of character, Shawn is honestly an underrated Actor.
He’s coming back in the prequel spin-off 🙏
There's gonna be a prequel?
@@TheNightVixen yeah about a superhero college. Look it up some of the sets have been leaked.
@@aname8832 Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to check it out.
@@TheNightVixen apparently new reports say now its set between S3 and S4 so i dont think its a prequel
@@aname8832 its a sequel if im not wrong
Interesting how he played both Iceman and the Boys version of Pyro.
"Big black noir" lol
The man loved his porn
Iceman in Xmen has the power of Pyro in the boys
He went from Iceman to Fireman
*Pyro
The guy who was eaten in the “Frozen” by the wolves, although he had a such potential to survive there
I don't remember anyone being eaten by wolves in frozen. I don't think Ashmore even was in that movie.
@@warbeatler618 you’re taking about cartoon “Frozen” and I am talking about movie “Frozen” 2011, it’s a horror with wolves
“I’m either still in the system or we’re about to be swarmed by guards with AKs…but I really I don’t care because I’m going to off myself but it would be really nice to do it in the old conference room and BOOM my plan is still a go.”
He became that which he sought to destroy *wink* Pyro *wink*🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was this the actor that played jimmy olsen in smallville or the actor that played that one dude that switch powers with Clark in smallville
Those two actors are Twins. This is Shawn Ashmore, the one who played Eric Summers the one who switches powers.
This guy played jimmy Olsen in Superman returns, I'm almost positive
@@Courier_333 actually his twin brother Aaron played Jimmy
Such an underrated character. Way more interesting than Stormfront as a minor antagonist. He knew how much of a scumbag he was but never dressed it up or argued some dumb villain twisted villain logic about what he did was right. He expected to be killed and wanted to be killed.
Ice in one universe. Fire in another.
Damn Frenchie's a hypocrite lol
First ice, now fire, all he needs is earth and air, and he'll be the avatar
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ashmore became ashes.
"Big Black Noir" AHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
With a name like "Ashmore" he was practically born for the role
From Iceman to doing the exact lighter tic Pryo did in the X-Men films.
Of all the seasons of the Boys, season 2 is the one I remebr the least from for some reason. I completely forgot how much Lamplighter was in the show.
Damn Tim Breaker in this universe have super powers, F Door
what a lit character
The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.
Did he committed suicide at the end?
Yah because he saw his statue get removed from the seven
@@harveyweinstein9755 he was gonna do if anyway iirc, he just died sadder.

@@harveyweinstein9755 he was going to do it anyways. Just wanted to in front of his statue lol
@@zlatkajupe How about not laugh at the shit, lol.
I forgot about this character
5:06 Sing with me, sing for the year
Bro went from Iceman to Pyro
Ironic af he played iceman and playing a rip off of pyro
You beat me to it. I was also laughing about him being iceman in another universe.
Better make them miss you then overstaying your welcome. I'm sure he is gonna return somehow.
He gets resurrected in the comics so maybe.
this is not the same as comics. So i think not
Turns out he is not so terrible
The live action counterpart of Shoto Todoroki, half hot half cold.
Ice Man looks like he’s fallen on difficult times since he split up with Rogue.
So disappointed they killed him off. What a waste of potential.
Hilarious he’s played Ice Man for Marvel and has the same powers as Pyro in the Boys who’s also Ice Man’s arch enemy in Marvel.
I don’t see what they were laughing at I quite like his costume and staff.
It reminded them of green arrow 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iceman in X men
Pyro in the Boys.
wow.
Man with such brilliant writers you wouldn't expect them to write such a shitty ending for this character
Damn. This actor just gets gigs becuase he looks like someone else.
Iceman became Pyro.
wtf Wesley went sicko mode after Elijah Stone threatened Angela and baby Jackson 💀😭
I’m wondering how Pyro is going to feel that his former best friend iceman is now pyromaniac to
Damn it Iceman you stole Pyro's powers! 😂😂😵😵
Frenchie shaming lamplighter is…rich to say the least. All the people he’s supposedly killed is way worse than whatever lamplighter did.
We lost another one to Warlin Door, goddamn it
Lamplighter never knew his dad is the reason hes a supe. Compound V was suggested by the parents
So he’s played pyro and Iceman
Hey I think that's Jack Joyce!
I thought that was dominic monaghan first time i saw him
Ironically Monaghan plays Ashmore's brother in the video game, Quantum Break.
"Different strokes man."
Bro switched powers with pyro
he’s my neighbor lmao
Instead of redemption he took the easy way out
I already knew it was Shawn Ashmore but i forgot he played Ice Man in X Men. Shame they wasted Lamplighter but it was great seeing Shawn in another superhero media.
In retrospect this guy definitely coulda got a bit more time
4:12 to 4:16 😂😂
Omg Jake! Iceman!
1:16 Ha Still Worthy
He’s gorgeous
Why is nobody mentioning Wesley?
Hey! I think that's Jack Joyce!
I'm glad to know that Quantum Break hasn't been forgotten.
I still remember that exact voice line from when Paul was contemplating on choosing a PR friendly route or a Hardline approach.
You mean Tim Breaker! : - P
And he's weakness is fire I'm dead laughing so bad when he died 🥲
Imagine if he had fire powers in sons of the forest
Oh man... This dude is never not hot.
I LOVE 1:40
Pretty wild that he plays a fire Supe and his name is Ashmore lol
best? u mean literary everything?
He's only in 3 episodes
Ikr this dude put lamp lighters whole screen time and called “best moments”
Pobre lamplighter 😿 gran personje
Fun fact : his power in a marvel movie was ice
wasnt he the iceman from x-men movies?
Yes he was
They cast him on purpose considering his acting history lol
lamplighter is good friends with paul serene
He's Wesley from the Rookie.
He's Eric Summers from the Smallville
