he says, as he plans to take over a mega corporation that controls peoples lives. I mean he didn't change anything once he got there, the only difference is that HE is top dog now. while it is true that you should be wary of wealthy peoples intentions, you should also be wary of people who feign support and allegiance to a cause only to further their own agenda/power.

Homelander is a psychopath but he does have a point in his speech all these celebrities going around crying and apologizing all the time and pretending to be someone they're not just to try be liked by everyone is just pathetic
Homelander is sociopath, you see, difference in that the psychopath doesn't feel anything and he plans his murders or crimes really thoroughly, but sociopath have something they care about, they impulsive and not that planning type. I know that this is not the topic, but I just wanted to share this
@@РейДарквуд basically psychopaths are like patrick Bateman who bear their pain and plan everything and take revenge. Sociopath are like joker. They're made by us. They don't plan anything. For example when joker killed Murray, he did bcoz he couldn't bear that.

@@realdawgg420 Ikr, still an iconic player who's no doubt a legend of the game but the way he still thinks he's 'that guy' bugs me if I'm being honest. It reminds me a lot about people in real life going through a 'mid-life crisis'. It's like he still thinks that he can do everything in his prime years (ie 24-32), but the uncomfortable truth is that he can't anymore, like seeing Ronaldo going for glory with those missed free kicks, then of course missing the penalty against Slovenia - when he easily could have let other players shine. That sort of behaviour screams excessive narcisism to me, much like Homelander. A leader is someone who puts the team first and leads by example. The fact that Ronaldo had to be consoled by his teammates as well when he missed the penalty, he shouldn't have been the one crying/sulking - he should have been the one rallying them on and creating chances instead of expecting others to give it to him. Ronaldo playing in the Saudi League has already proven that he isn't the player was in his heyday, otherwise he would have still been playing in Europe albeit for a less competitive league in somewhere like Turkey, Netherlands or even his home country - Portugal and I believe that a lot of fans would have preferred it if he returned back to his roots at Sporting.
Im better ... I AM BETTER ! God the chills ! This speech/ rant and the scene where he straight up murders the entire crowd are the best of the entire show!
4:00 is brilliant framing and lighting. The only thing keeping him in the light being a literal spotlight while the rest of him is in darkness. The audience disappearing from the background because he isn't really talking to them anymore, he's talking to himself.
Imagine Homelander in My Hero Academia. Especially the All For One aftermath which destroyed a city district causing civilians to doubt and blame heroes for the failures.
The Boys is a glimpse into what MHA could have been if it didn't shy away from the societal takes it teased so much during certain times and it wasn't just a run-out-the-mill power of friendship shonen. Annie/Starlight mom actually reminds me of Endeavor sometimes
Props to my boi Roger for pulling through, Homelander telling him not to go to commercial must've been the most terrifying moment in that dude's life lmao
Absolutely one of the best moments in season 3. You can see the look on nearly everyone's face that they were intimidated by his speech. Seriously, while Homelander in the comics is somewhat of a joke, Homelander in the TV show is quite possibly one of the best written villains I've ever seen!
God season 3 had so many amazing moments. Really enjoying season 4 at the moment but it's clear as day that this show is at it's best when it focuses on Homelander instead of side plots.
Homelander is a villain that is nearly impossible to not sympathize with. He is a victim of environment, one in which everything going back to his birth has been an arranged existence, with nearly daily torture as a child and having to live up to this impossible standard while having power as he has no idea how to control and seeing the most unimaginable things at an early age while not even having any parents at all. He doesn't really understand any right from wrong, because when you're that powerful you have no one else that can stand up to you and put you in your place. The one thing he so desperately craves is love and acceptance, the same as the rest of us, except he doesn't even realize that he's going about it in a bad way, or doesn't care because of a lifetime of trying while others completely reject him and hold his faults to an impossible and unreasonable level. Lying to him out of fear that if he doesnt like the truth, he will violently kill them always, which by season 3 he has finally started embracing. Now on top of all of this, he has been at rock bottom after having blackmail for the first time in his life, and the closest thing he's ever had to actual love and acceptance has been taken from him by their own delusions of overt superiority that was despised a century ago. The fact that he hasn't gone on unapologetic genocidal rampages and already turned New York City into a hellscape is nearly commendable.
Honestly, this speech is the most heroic thing Homelander does in the show. He legitimately stands up to an evil corporation that uses, lies to, and manipulates the populous for profit and doesn't care who they hurt. Homelander isn't a hero in the sense that he pretends to be, but he is a hero for being a whistle-blower of sorts.
He actually didnt, he jsut pretend to be rebel because people like that, since he actually works for Vought and does everything the company wants, intentionally or not.
@@jinwoosungslanoobexactly lol. Homelander doesn’t give af about the “media” and “evil corporations.” He’s only saying that to get support. He’s basically an evil corporation himself.
@Hesen31 I know what ur saying, but I’m specifically talking about the media and corporations part that he brought up. The rest of the speech when he was saying he was better than everyone and that he was the real hero was the part that ur talking about, where he just lost it and didn’t know how people would react if he said it.
Homelander is aware of the immorality of his actions, and he understands why he has become who he is. He despises the evil corporation that is responsible for taking his opportunity to have a happy childhood away from him, shaping his immorality and controlling him for years. This speech is a victim of abuse finally speaking out after years of being muzzled. However, Homelander has been so corrupted by all of this, that he has became just as evil as Vought itself. It's a tragedy. He could have been a hero...
Homelander wasn't corrupted by Vought. He was bred to be a better version of Soldier Boy, but his powers led him to become even more egotistical than Solider Boy. He thrives on ppl feeding his ego, hence this whole speech being simultaneously centered around playing the part of persecuted victim with superpowers and putting himself on the pedestal of being a hero the country supposedly needs.
Psychology doesn't function that way in various scenarios it is very apparent that Homelander has been extensively emotionally, and physically abused. That changes the development of a person's brain, and can cause many different problems. In the case of Homelander it caused a split personality, and PTSD. He was then demoralized by the events of the prequel episode in Diabolical S1,and was taught that his actions won't lead to consequences by Noir. If you consider Homelander's pov, he is a muzzled victim of abuse and Vought is much more evil than himself. Homelander doesn't know when he took his first breath, he didn't have a mother or a father who was present and he was born in what Vogelbaum described as a cold lab, surrounded by doctors who wanted to probe him. Take away his powers, and this guy has endured one of the saddest introductions to life in fiction... @@user-de2hh6bt5i
@@user-de2hh6bt5i Someone who has been irreversibly altered by traumatic experiences can't just decide to be become a moral person. Homelander is too far gone, and is that is why he is irredeemable.

Ronaldo playing in the Saudi League has already proven that he isn't the player was in his heyday, otherwise he would have still been playing in Europe albeit for a less competitive league in somewhere like Turkey, Netherlands or even his home country - Portugal and I believe that a lot of fans would have preferred it if he returned back to his roots at Sporting.
He's genuinely effortlessly over rated. I never cared for him.
Im better ... I AM BETTER !
God the chills !
This speech/ rant and the scene where he straight up murders the entire crowd are the best of the entire show!
“I’m stronger I’m smarter …sigh of relief… I’m better , I AM BETTER!” ✍️ know your worth king 😂
“I am done being persecuted for my strength” is the most unintentionally hilarious line
"You need me to save you... from me"

4:00 is brilliant framing and lighting. The only thing keeping him in the light being a literal spotlight while the rest of him is in darkness. The audience disappearing from the background because he isn't really talking to them anymore, he's talking to himself.
Homelander had his D-Fense meltdown with the truth , and doing it so , he is free , and more powerful than ever
Imagine Homelander in My Hero Academia. Especially the All For One aftermath which destroyed a city district causing civilians to doubt and blame heroes for the failures.
This guy would be a class act in any anime i would love to see it
My hero wish it had the drama like this
Funny you said that because I had an idea that MHA and The Boys would make a neat crossover similar to the Marvel vs. Capcom series
The Boys is a glimpse into what MHA could have been if it didn't shy away from the societal takes it teased so much during certain times and it wasn't just a run-out-the-mill power of friendship shonen.
Annie/Starlight mom actually reminds me of Endeavor sometimes
@@Koraxus Except it went for a more family friendly route while still having its dark and violent moments in it
Props to my boi Roger for pulling through, Homelander telling him not to go to commercial must've been the most terrifying moment in that dude's life lmao
“Umm Antony, you were supposed to say Im glad to help the Starlight House.”
What a realistic scene this was , Antony Star totally nailed it🔥
Especially that superhearing thing "Don't you dare stop rolling, Roger"☠
Absolutely one of the best moments in season 3. You can see the look on nearly everyone's face that they were intimidated by his speech. Seriously, while Homelander in the comics is somewhat of a joke, Homelander in the TV show is quite possibly one of the best written villains I've ever seen!
When she said, "He's just like the rest of us", it looked like Homelander threw up in his mouth a bit.
Homelander’s Rant was the best scene in the season!!!
what a beautiful and perfect speech.
I love this scene absolutely when he say this about himself, it just makes him even more stronger than ever and proud of himself without being shy.
This scene is so f*cking incredibly done, great job Antony Starr
3:52 You are not the real heroes, I am the real hero - GOATed lines 🔥
This was by far the most epic speech I’ve ever heard lol
2:43 what a diva act by him 😂
God season 3 had so many amazing moments. Really enjoying season 4 at the moment but it's clear as day that this show is at it's best when it focuses on Homelander instead of side plots.
This speech is forever be Masterpiece 🔥
I did not realize how much they swear in this show till Amazon bleeps them all out
Homelander is a villain that is nearly impossible to not sympathize with. He is a victim of environment, one in which everything going back to his birth has been an arranged existence, with nearly daily torture as a child and having to live up to this impossible standard while having power as he has no idea how to control and seeing the most unimaginable things at an early age while not even having any parents at all. He doesn't really understand any right from wrong, because when you're that powerful you have no one else that can stand up to you and put you in your place. The one thing he so desperately craves is love and acceptance, the same as the rest of us, except he doesn't even realize that he's going about it in a bad way, or doesn't care because of a lifetime of trying while others completely reject him and hold his faults to an impossible and unreasonable level. Lying to him out of fear that if he doesnt like the truth, he will violently kill them always, which by season 3 he has finally started embracing. Now on top of all of this, he has been at rock bottom after having blackmail for the first time in his life, and the closest thing he's ever had to actual love and acceptance has been taken from him by their own delusions of overt superiority that was despised a century ago.
The fact that he hasn't gone on unapologetic genocidal rampages and already turned New York City into a hellscape is nearly commendable.
Honestly, this speech is the most heroic thing Homelander does in the show. He legitimately stands up to an evil corporation that uses, lies to, and manipulates the populous for profit and doesn't care who they hurt. Homelander isn't a hero in the sense that he pretends to be, but he is a hero for being a whistle-blower of sorts.
He actually didnt, he jsut pretend to be rebel because people like that, since he actually works for Vought and does everything the company wants, intentionally or not.
@@jinwoosungslanoobexactly lol. Homelander doesn’t give af about the “media” and “evil corporations.” He’s only saying that to get support. He’s basically an evil corporation himself.
@Hesen31 I know what ur saying, but I’m specifically talking about the media and corporations part that he brought up. The rest of the speech when he was saying he was better than everyone and that he was the real hero was the part that ur talking about, where he just lost it and didn’t know how people would react if he said it.
The minute I heard this speech on the album I was... well... speechless.
Homelander is aware of the immorality of his actions, and he understands why he has become who he is. He despises the evil corporation that is responsible for taking his opportunity to have a happy childhood away from him, shaping his immorality and controlling him for years. This speech is a victim of abuse finally speaking out after years of being muzzled. However, Homelander has been so corrupted by all of this, that he has became just as evil as Vought itself. It's a tragedy. He could have been a hero...
Morals are relative
edgy. and no, morals are not relative at all.@@jimmcneal5292
Homelander wasn't corrupted by Vought. He was bred to be a better version of Soldier Boy, but his powers led him to become even more egotistical than Solider Boy. He thrives on ppl feeding his ego, hence this whole speech being simultaneously centered around playing the part of persecuted victim with superpowers and putting himself on the pedestal of being a hero the country supposedly needs.
Psychology doesn't function that way in various scenarios it is very apparent that Homelander has been extensively emotionally, and physically abused. That changes the development of a person's brain, and can cause many different problems. In the case of Homelander it caused a split personality, and PTSD.
He was then demoralized by the events of the prequel episode in Diabolical S1,and was taught that his actions won't lead to consequences by Noir. If you consider Homelander's pov, he is a muzzled victim of abuse and Vought is much more evil than himself.
Homelander doesn't know when he took his first breath, he didn't have a mother or a father who was present and he was born in what Vogelbaum described as a cold lab, surrounded by doctors who wanted to probe him.
Take away his powers, and this guy has endured one of the saddest introductions to life in fiction...
@@user-de2hh6bt5i
@@user-de2hh6bt5i Someone who has been irreversibly altered by traumatic experiences can't just decide to be become a moral person. Homelander is too far gone, and is that is why he is irredeemable.
Homelander is such a layered and terrifying character. I find it hard to even label him a villain but I guess by definition that’s what he is
