Truth is, as much as it hurts to admit, if there were superheroes in the real world they'd be a lot more like the Seven than the Justice League.
Very true
hurts to admit? this is what will actually happen. most definitely. beyond the shadow of a doubt
nah it would be a mix of both. The world is not just full of corrupt assholes or just full of nice moral people.
@@hikari9433 but the assholes always had the more impact sadly. just like the boys show
@@johans3164 it will be mixture
"He want's to get deep in the starlight" If that's not the definition of epic foreshadowing lol.
into the starlights throat
XD
💀
Hahah, the fkn setup was MINT!
When he said that I was thinking, "You dont know how right you are dude"
The Deep = Hollywood...
Starlight = every new actress catching her big break.
yep
Hilarious but true
I would say:
The Deep = SJWs
Starlight = Hollywood
XD
Per Dilling this ain't it.
@@TheUnstoppableBar Not sure what you are trying to say. And since I don't want to misrepresent your position or argument, I can't really answer you. =)
I both love and hate Homelander in equal measure. One of the best characters of 2019. Anthony Starr is phenomenal in the role.
I feel like he's just one of the best villains from television in recent memory honestly.
He is good in Banshee too 👌🏻
He makes homelander look like a cartoon character with his Banshee performance. I nearly cried when it ended
@@Bumbum_Inspector he's the best anti hero ever in Banshee, believe me, please give it a go, 4 seasons of awesomeness
@Iori Van Hail lesson for today, stay of drugs
Steven is like "The writers are sitting around thinking up what are the craziest things that Supers can do?" I'm picturing in my head all the writers sitting around sweating with the comics in front of them thinking "What in gods name can we strip down to make safe so that we can put it on TV..."
It’s premium television though, so there is a lot more freedom.
Brandon Coomar No one has as much freedom to show what the comics did, unless you go to Anime....
With Amazon, they can get away with a strong fair amount.
Yes, they can get away with a lot on Amazon. But they can't get away with what is in the comics. Not even close.
And even if they could get away with showing it on Amazon, I don't think the general viewing public would be into it. People had a strong reaction to the scene between Starlight and The Deep. Imagine if they had stuck with the comic book version that had Homelander, A Train and Black Noir at the same time.
Yeah. I'm not sure they're going to do Herogasm in season 2
The premise of this show is actually pretty realistic if you think about it. Humans are very easily corrupted by power, so can you imagine humans with superpoowers? The chances of things going really bad are increasingly higher. So our whole notion of superpowerd people being automatically drawn to becoming heroes is totally off.
thats why the general public responses to Superman in JL movie actually somewhat realistic. While some revere him, some scared of what he might do with all that power.
And there are no villains, because there's no branding opportunities in being a public villain. The company is big enough to crush anyone else's chances through lobbying legislation. So you join the "good guys" and work your side gigs for fun/money.
I don't think any of that is spoilers.
@@MegaJufy So that actually means there are ONLY VILLAINS haha
Yeah, if stories like this interest you, and you enjoy reading/have some down time, I've really got to recommend Worm. It's an online serial that's already finished. It is a long read but it's fun. Starts off with a girl that's trying to set up her heroine identity. To do that, she used her power over bugs to breed a bunch of black widow spiders and weave herself an outfit. You umm, can probably tell by that sentence that things don't go smoothly for her. The world is pretty realistic, more so than The Boys in some ways. With some people becoming supervillains just to make some quick cash to escape their poor living situation, get away from their abusive parents, or just live life on the edge. Then gangs are brought into the mix and it starts becoming clear just how much the heroes are struggling.
I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but I do think that fans of The Boys would really enjoy Worm.
@@Dan_Jacob Oh yes, I second that recommendation. Trying to be spoiler free, the world building (effects of superpowers on the world, how powers work and where they come from, etc) is exquisite, and in my opinion one-of-a-kind. The way it deals with classic/standard superhero tropes can best be divided into two categories: 'Well, actually, this is how this would actually go/work' and 'Ok, so you want this insane-but-uncommented-on aspect of the standard superhero world? Then this is the ONLY way that it would make sense/that real people would think it was a good idea'. Slight spoiler, an example of the latter used in the story is people running around in spandex. In the real world, people would be 'WTF!!!!!!????', and Worm does a good job of explaining and justifying why this is thought to be a normal thing.
All those "The Deep" jokes certainly aged well.
I was waiting for their reaction after all those jokes lol
They basically can suck it with the jokes. ;)
Oopsie!!
@@NikkiStevenReact You guys when into this show with the completely worng mindset.
yep
“I bet he wants to go ‘deep’...”
A few moments later...
“WhAt tHe FuC...?!?” 🤣
Fun fact:
The character of Wee Hughie in the comic was based on Simon Pegg who plays Hughie's dad in the TV show.
The comics are far, FAR darker.
Yay! Great pick guys, this show is a real rollercoaster!
.. It is very, very hard to edit reactions for it, though 😂
Hey, Kat & Sonny!
Loved your Boys reactions also :-)
Hello there Kay & Sonny!
If you remember, the actress who plays Starlight was the first girl Jessica Jones saved.
who the hell is stardust?
@@stefanforrer2573 oops. I mean Starlight
@@BiggySn1p3r wwe fan?
@@cake118 Or a fan of Charlie Cox before he became Daredevil
@@cake118 plus he said it at some point and it just stuck in my head.
17:35 Steven: “I don’t even have words to describe what I just saw...” is all of us while watching this series
The satire comes from the concept of corporate super heroes. The sickening idea that super heroes aren't here to save you, they're here to serve corporate interests. And corporations do not care about people. I'm so glad you guys are watching this one.
I miss watching you guys. Right now you're not watching any shows that im watching so i haven't been on your channel for a while. Just dropped in too say, stay safe and take care of each other!
Go watch the expanse right now
Same
@@vorpalrobot Agreed!
Yeah the expanse is great and I started watching it because of them. But so is the boys and it's only 8 episodes so what have you got to lose?
Same. I love the channel and refuse to unsub, but I just watch any of the same shows since witcher ended.
Better Call Saul, Expanse, and now The Boys! You are getting all my favorite shows!
The superhero names are bad because the writer of comic book actually hates superheroes.
I though he likes them but finds the names funny and weird most of the time
@@animegamer0329 The entire comic is written as a critique/parody of superhero stories of the past
This show is honestly so amazing! Kacee and I love it and we hope y’all do too! Excited to see your reactions!
Hey, you two. I subbed to y'all a while back because of your reactions to The Boys. Small world.
The Expanse AND The Boys? Score!
I love both these shows. I can't wait for more episodes.
The sad thing is The Boys is probably a more realistic take on what super heroes would actually be like in real life than most other super hero properties.
Fangtorn at least we had Civil War talking about in collateral damage when it came out in 2016
@@MeleysTessarion Yeah, I was just thinking The Boys is great example of how Tony Stark had a point that even super heroes need to be controlled and regulated.
@@Fangtorn Yeah but the ones regulating are corrupt in this case. So they're using them to further what they want like Cap said what if they want you to do something you don't agree with but you're owned🤷🏾
It depend on how you see the world... Thinking it would be all shinny justice league metropolice vibe is being naively optimistic, on the other hand thinking it would be exactly like the boys is just being cynical and depressive. Realistically, it would be a mix of both. The world is not just full of greedy assholes or just full of nice moral people.
@@Ashley-dt7tv Who watches the watchers, I guess.
So glad you guys are getting round to this show! It blew my mind in the exact same way. Was totally unexpected!
Based on a fantastic comic book by Garth Ennis who doesnt like superheroes.
His idea is basically this is what would happen if they existed.
Nikki and Steven, PLEASE do watch "Ozark" on Netflix. It's very similar to Breaking Bad in tone, theme and essence and I believe you guys are gonna love it! Peace!
The Boys is AMAZING btw
Matheus Velozo agree! Amazing show!
One more vote for Ozark. It does have the Breaking Bad spirit.
@@mosesgelberg It even has many parallels in terms of characters and plot arcs to Breaking Bad, but is still able to maintain it's own identity. Very compelling, almost finishing up the show here.
I was hoping it would be ozark.I dont watch thus one .Oh well
@@michelleortega1514 this is the one episode a week show as it is only 10 episodes
Wow, so happy you guys are doing this! I finished this show about a month ago and you are going to love it!
I'm glad you all are doing this. I haven't seen everything you all are currently reacting to that I want to see. Don't want to see edited spoilers of those. This is a great show. Looking forward to your reaction.
OMG!! Get ready for this ride guys! Ahhhhhhh! I'm so happy you're doing the boys!
This series is basically the government’s side of the argument in “CA:Civil War”
I just started watching, and this is the first thing I thought of.
Yes yes yes! I'm stoked that you guys are doing this show. It was my new favorite for 2019.
Super happy you guys are reacting to this one! Love this show and can't wait for season 2!
Love this show. can't wait for you guys to experience the rest of the episodes.
2:37 I love their reactions just smiles one second then a quiet "...what..."
I'm so glad you guys are reacting to this! It's awesome, and I can't wait until season 2! Garth Ennis did The Preacher too!
I'm so looking forward to you guy's reactions throughout this season! It'll be a crazy one
This pilot is one of my favorite ever! Such a great show, excited for this series!!
This was the best show of 2019, head and shoulders above the rest. Homelander is a brilliant new character, an arsehole but played beautifully by Anthony Starr. He’s spellbinding.
Welsh Marvel I agree. He turns in a similar performance in Banshee where I knew him from. He is amazing and underrated as an actor.
nah, you didn't see Watchmen. Watchmen and The Boys are both up there for me as maybe the two best of last year, drama-wise
The Boys is amazing but cmon Better Call Saul still exists bro...
I missed you SO MUCH you guys :O last time i watched you was Vikings season 6 episode 10. it feels SO good to be part of a new journey with you
Oh I'm excited for you to react to this. It seemed so much up your alley that I had to check to make sure it wasn't a reupload (I watch way too many reactors).
Nice, new show! I was hoping for SOA (Sons of Anarchy), but I guess I need to start watching this show along with you guys.
Anthony Starr is so great in his role as Homelander! Just brilliant! Mark my words, it's on of the best castings ever!
Super delighted that you are reacting to The Boys as it was my favourite show from last year and you're my favourite reactors.
You didn't disappoint with this first episode. Loved it.
HAH! I was waiting for that! Glad to get back to this channel there were no shows I was excited for since now
First time commenting. Been playing catch up on (alot) of the older videos while I work, but had to check out The Boys. It's so great you went in blind. This show is nuts, violent, uncomfortable and awesome! You are both awesome, but just had to say Nikki is freakin' adorable.
Hi Nikki and Steven. Just wanna let you know that you reacted to literally EVERY SINGLE FAVORITE SHOW I WATCHED and im very very glad about it. Wish you the best and stay safe :)
When i saw this on my notifications i was like “HELL YEAAAA”
Thank you for doing this Nikki and Steven!
OMG!!! I was just thinking where were you guys??? I am sooo ready to see you guys run the gambit on this show!!!! Yeah, this is gonna blow both of your minds!!!! Can't wait to see more!! 😊
Deep just pulled a Harvey Weinstein there 😂😂😂
The Seven really were created as a perverse satire to DC Justice League, with the same kind of powers, but the equivalence ends there. Homelander is like Superman (with a dash of Captain America as you said), Queen Mave is a version of Wonder Woman, A-Train is The Flash, The Deep is Aquaman, Black Noir is Batman and the retired Lamp Lighter is Green Lantern. Only Translucent breaks this "rule", being a character created originally for the TV show. He replaced the comic's character Jack from Jupiter (a version of Ajax, the Martian Manhunter).
One of the reasons for this change is because the TV show's world is more grounded in our reality, while on the comics the world is more fantastic with Jack alleged being an alien.
I n the comics it was alleged homelander was an alien too, he had superman's origin. dont worry about that being a spoiler for the show since it is a different origin for the tv show.
Same powers is a bit of a stretch for some of them though.
@@gunchar06 "based on" the same powers then. It was just to simplify things.
I missed your reactions so much, glad to share a new show with you guys
I've been waitinf for this show since it has been announced and I was sure it will hit us hard (no pun intended). My first reaction was same as yours, jaw on the floor. The show definitely worths our time and atention. Stay safe!
You guys will love this show. It's one of the best television seasons in recent memory honestly.
Would love to see you react to The Last Kingdom
DESTINY IS AULL
Yes especially now with season 4
Yea especially how they became big fans of Vikings. TLK is not only a good follow up, it's better (IMO)
I am Uthred son of Uthred!
Yesssss!
Miss you guys....just started watching this....happy you are reacting to this...let's go!
So glad you guys are reacting to this show! I can't wait for the next video!
Her reactions were soo so genuine 😭😂
Omg yes please didn’t know this was coming
Ikr I’m pumped
Kept it nice and quiet
Sooo glad to see you two watching this its awesome, look forward to following your journey. And Nikki, love your hair!
Nice to see you guys react to this show! You're in for quite a ride! Really good show and I find, a helluva interesting take on the whole superhero genre. Also props for also watching "The Expanse", one of the best TV shows in years!
The Expanse x2 and The Boys reactions every week. Doesn't get much better than that!
Glad you guys are watching this! You guys are really in for a ride!🙂
This series was epic. Can't wait for season 2!! Glad to be back watching you guys.
Great reaction. This is one of my favorite recent shows. It's going to be a wild ride
So glad you are doing this show!
Like many shows recently, Buckle up! Dark, funny, creepy while we all are trying to figure out WTF is going on.
Hey guys new subscriber here I just binged your cobra kai reactions..
This show rules too
Welcome to the channel!!!!
So stoked for you guys to see this! Loved this season!
Love how you recognized Elizabeth Shue. I was so excited to see her in something again. I'm on episode 5 of this show and it's crazy. I missed watching you guys. Can't wait til there's more Cobra Kai.
"It's like they're doing sports trading with politics mixed in."
So, just like real sports. Got it. Lmao
They are a great duo to watch
Hello Nikki and Steven. I have missed you guys so much! I’m glad you two are safe and happy. I haven’t seen this show yet but I’m sure I’ll like it. Thanks for the upload.
Oh Nikki is going to love this show. Both of them are. Hell yes, keep them coming.
*YASSSSSSSSSSSSS* finally!!!!
This show is wild, yo. Loved watching your reactions, I literally laughed out loud a few times. See you for the next one!
Oooh boy. You're in for a hell of a ride! Very happy to see you react to this show :)
I loved this series. A kinda parallel universe Justice League, and also a kind of metaphor with the Hollywood industry. You'll love it :)
Yeah! The boys is great! You are in for a wild ride as you might guess after seeing the first episode! Looking forward for more of the boys with you!
Missed you guys, especially an
"Oh My Gawd!"
Just watched first six episodes, loving it.
Looking forward to your future reactions.
YES!!! This is good stuff. I love this. SO happy you're reacting to this! FINALLY!
Steven, you told me in the Twch stream a couple days ago that you guys had plans for the boys...Nice swerve man! I was surprised & excited to see this vid pop up! This show is shocking, but overall the story & characters are top notch. Acting too. It's like Tarantino's version of DC.
The twitch stream gets the inside info. Ha!!
@@NikkiStevenReact 😁👍
"Avenging Bad." That's what I'm calling it from now on.
Guys.... I am SO happy you two are reacting to this show. ITS AMAZING! Enjoy! I figured this would be right up Steven's alley. Absolute power corrupts absolutely .
Ok, you 2 got me hooked on this show and I haven't seen the episode, just this reaction. Now I have to get caught up! Same thing happened with Game of Thrones so THANK YOU!
Wow first the Expanse and now this! After GOT ended I hoped you would start reacting to these shows. =)
You guys will like this show. Fun fact, the story is based on a comic series, which is exponentially more graphic. Don’t read it if you don’t want spoilers. Even funner fact, Simon Pegg (Shaun of the dead) plays hueys dad, but the comics were literally drawn with him in mind. He aged out of the role but he/they wanted him in the show. So he’s Huey’s dad in this instead of Huey.
You guys haven't been watching anything that I have seen so I haven't watched you guys in a while. I'm glad to see this! I tried the Expanse and just couldn't get into it. I'm excited for this one!
Hi Guys, it's good to see you again. You were reacting shows I didn't see yeat and now I can see you reacting The Boys. It's great!
Nikki "It's like the Avengers and Breaking Bad" 20:27 Wow what a quote.
There are going to be a lot of "Oh my god" moments.
YAAAAAAAAS! Once again, you lot are reacting to yet another show I really like. I’m SO excited to see you react to this show! As you can see, it’s about to be a crazy ride.
Hey guys! So happy you started this! Take care and enjoy!
This show is one hell of a ride. You’ll enjoy it.
"They're really horrible people" lololol I cannot tell you how happy I am that you're watching this! It's right up your alley and you're going to love it. Sooooo, I'm heading over to Patreon now.
But is she a spice girl?
@@garethneller8239 What's sporty spice up to??
@Care Bear Juckett Bean
Whazzup? Nikki &Steven are in for one helluva ride, aint they?
@@darthken815 Yes! Omg this show tho. How are you doing?
@Carrie Juckett Bean
I'm Duoing just fine. How abou you?
OH HELL YEAH!! After the Expanse you went with this! NICE ! So excited!
So glad to see you doing this series :P
I love The Boys, but I'd really love to watch you reacting Sons of Anarchy, guys! Hugs from Brazil :)
YEEEEES!!!!! 😯😀😁👏👏👏
Best. Surprise. Ever!!!
You guys are in for a wild ride! Can’t wait for the next episode reaction!
Watched the first handful of episodes of season 1 but can't remember where I left off so I'm watching your reactions to jog my memory because I don't remember much.
The great thing about The Boys is that it is eight episodes long and each one has two or three "Oh Shit!" moments. It is as iff it was created just for React channels. You guys are in for a treat.
Hahaha! The WTF and OMG counter was broke by this series. Have fun!
We need more of this !!! The reactions were great !
Hell yeah! Glad to see you two taking on this show. It's insane! 😁
This is a pretty good adaptation even though a lot is changed from the comics, but there's NO WAY they could actually do some stuff in the show to the extent that they do in the comics. Glad you guys are loving it!
