I'd argue it's not that there's a good guy hidden in Homelander, it's that there is a VERY damaged child buried at his core. There might be a glimmer of potential for him to LEARN to be a good guy (and it is decidedly faint), but he's WAY too broken to do good right now. And the Butcher-Hughie thing is a little more complicated than "I don't like a weaker man having power over me" as much as "This guy is so close to the brother I lost and the guilt from that colours how I interact with him"... Such fun to have this back :)
When I heard her sing on Kipo I was shocked and enamored. I am so glad she was allowed to sing on the Boys. I believe her daydream was about her wanting the courage to regain her voice so she could enjoy something as basic as singing.
The ending with the song "Uptown Girl" just like the beginning is a great start to the season. I watched the season when it came out and I still can't get it out of my head!
I love that Homelander, because he has no peers, needs Butcher to be his confidante. His line "Where's the sport in that?" says so much. What motivates him? He's like the advanced kids in school who grows up bored with everything and burned out because there is no challenge to anything. He needs to be be important or he feels small, but he hates the interviews, the scripted "I'm human inside just like you" moments. Because he's not, and he resents lowering himself to our level. Great show. Gonna go watch 3-2. BRB.
Kudos to the Producers of The Boys! We are NEVER sure of what we may see next!!! I'm hoping that in the coming days we'll see Your Reactions to Episodes 2 & 3! Thank You Amazon for giving us 3 right off the bat!!! Also....LOVE You apologizing to Your Dad!!! Lol I didn't think You could be more endearing to us...but I was Wrong! Lol
@@funnylilgalreacts I'm a Big-Time Comic Book Fan! But mainly Marvel & DC! I've expanded into reading the source material for "Invincible", but not for "The Boys"! So, just like You, I only know what I've seen on screen! Looking forward to Your Reactions to other Episodes of this Series as well as next week's Obi-Wan & Ms. Marvel! Thank You for keeping us Entertained!
And Hughie is punching well above his weight class and he knows it, so he's insecure... but he needs to see that the things that draw her to him aren't the superficial things that he's afraid of... it's the sweet, funny, genuine nature that she needs, she's surrounded by beauty, power, and "Talents" but what she needs is that connection to the 'real' world. :)
14:21 This guy here (Cameron Coleman) has his own entire TV program on the Vought official TH-cam channel where he does the Vought News, for example. There are also music videos for Starlight and A-Train's season 2 songs on there, as well as a trailer for the movie from the beginning of this episode.
Goddamn right he is.Everybody has to be nice to him especially Edgar because if they're not,he'll just snap and if he fucking snaps...well,I guess you know what that means.
@@aaditkhan728see the homelander incels never make sense to me because the whole point of his character is that even with all of his power he is still a man baby who is easy to laugh at, not scary in the slightest, just a bully
@@mcgfn I mean sometimes he is scary,and if you actually watch other youtuber's reaction you would know that that most of them are genuinely terrified when he's near their favourite characters and even they agree that the show wouldn't be the same without homelander,also yeah when he is vulnerable then he acts like a man baby,but most of the time that's not the case,if you watched diabolical then you would what I'm trying to say. Also,yeah I'm not a homelander incel,I just find his character very interesting.
This is the first time I've seen someone so sympathetic to homelamder lmao. Even the actor says he's supposed to be pure evil and an irredeemable psychopath, and I strongly agree.
Butcher and Homelander kind of want the same thing - taking down the system. For different reasons and ultimately they want different outcome, but it's still funny how in that scene they're almost friends. And Homelander is literally using Ryan as an excuse to whine about his day at work to his nemezis xD
"This show!" an exclamation shared by all of us when we watch. The Boys, terrifying and hilarious all at once. Not knowing the source material doesn't matter but some of us are so looking forward to what has been teased. This is going to be an amazing season.
Wow! This was an incredible start to the season. I love this show its mind blowing. Literally and figuratively. 🤯 Homelands is completely unhinged and just keeps getting worse and worse. Keep up the great reactions. 😊
This reaction was just delightful. Great reactions!! First Time I have seen you react to the Boys and it did NOT disappoint!!! Looking forward to the next two!
That is amazing to know! If they were only using 50% of the source material I could only imagine how bonkers the comics have to be… I’m so happy we get a show like this
@@funnylilgalreacts Just to clarify- The show is managing to follow most of the major plot-points and themes of the comic (with one huge exception). However, by making a few changes to the narrative and the overall tone, the show manages to tell a more authentic- feeling and compelling story. To me, the biggest change is the tone. While the show definitely has some shocking depictions of violence & sexual content, it mostly serves the narrative. In the comic, it’s a lot more extreme, and a lot of it comes across as being done purely for shock value. Where the show feels a bit tongue in cheek, the comic feels mean-spirited.
I was looking forward to your reaction to this and you didn't disappoint. It was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Every time I watch one of your reactions I wish I had one of you to watch movies and hang out with. You're awesome and so much fun.
Oh and I think most people would definitely take the V (except maybe for the unknown risk factors) but for Billy it goes against everything he believes in, he wants everyone with super-powers gone preferrably... but the fact that it's temporary would probably be the only reason he would consider it... just to level the playing field... but still, it's a huge step for him.
Thank you for the upload! Just finished watching this episode 5 minutes ago. Definitely a strong start to the season, as a bonus I was able to avoid any trailers for this season too. Will be binging the next two episodes tomorrow morning.
The actor playing homelander actually said that he doesn't want the character to be redeemable. Homelander is meant to be a petty bully. Evil, petty, coward. This is if Geoffrey from GOT was superman. You are meant to be uncomfortable around him. Fantastic villain.
"In five years I hope to be out of the superhero business entirely" ~Stan Edgar "In five years the Corleone family will be completely legitimate." ~Michael Corleone
Btw, with the Amazon Prime X-Ray feature you can see an extended scene of the movie from the beginning of the episode, as well as the full music video to the song "Rock my Kiss" from Drummer Boy and his band.
Every time I think I couldn't possibly enjoy watching a show more, I watch your reactions! Never fails. There's no comment that could convey the wildness of this episode 🤣. The scene between Butcher and "Homelander" was also absolutely fantastic. Karl Urban is always great and Antony Starr is just unreal.
Antony is playing Homelander amazingly. However a good guy inside of Homelander? Haha um just hold on. I am so interested in how they eventually wrap the show up. Oh my goodness.
I think there was potential if he was allowed to be a dad but because that’s not the case I’m looking forward to all the destruction and mayhem that follows 😈
@@funnylilgalreacts Oh this is typical Kripke style writing with bad guys. So they way you feel about Homelander is what he wants. I am sure during development the other writers questioned him but he got what he wanted in the bad guy redemption possibility. From the first show Homelander kills innocent people with no reservation. Then in a following show lets a plane of people die. By the end of the season we see him as a father to a boy. Next season we think he has a chance to be good. Yeah Eric Kripke is trying to set us up. He knows people know the source material but he is doing a bang up job of writing to keep us all guessing.
I'm super excited to see more of your reaction to this season. When that dude went inside his weener it was so disturbing/gross that I almost throw up.
I already mowed through the first 3 episodes that are released. If you watched supernatural it's weird that dude that played Bobby Singer is names Robert Singer in this
The I don't wanna feel bad for her part... I totally agree, and I think it just shows you're an actual human being with functional empathy... I wouldn't wanna see a rabid dog that had killed my children suffer, even though I might very well not want it to exist anymore. :)
Also, I don't like it when a character is a Superman type because they use a Superman type character to be evil, corruptive, and dangerous which makes me sad because Clark Kent aka Superman represents hope, truth, and justice to everyone.
V24 because it lasts 24 hours. Makes sense. Me, I'd hope for telekinesis. You ever see the movie Chronicle? Telekinesis can be flight as well. So it's a twofer.
No worries about not knowing the source material. The show sometimes references it, sometimes twists it, takes what it wants from it and sometimes ignores it. With all respect to the comic book, what Kripke created is way better than the source anyway, as apart from gore and shock, it has a lot more depth in the story.
Yeah, I feel sorry for Homelander too. God knows I hate him, but he's just a result of how he was raised and groomed all his life. If he was actually raised by people who loved him unconditionally, he'd probably be so much better off.
Homelander is brilliantly portrayed by Antony Starr. He's an awesome actor. Another show he was in that I think you might like, Banshee. It's originally a Cinemax show, but I recently saw that it was available on HBO Max (hopefully it's still there).
I don’t understand the hate for Atrain he was on drugs when he did that to his girlfriend and he’s been working hard to get better and helped the boys and Hughie forgave him in season 1 finale and also the actor said have hope for Atrain.
I wouldn't worry so much about the source material. The show has veered quite far from it as it is. Yes they take some broad strokes, but on the whole it is it's own thing.
Antony Starr got his start here in New Zealand on a show called Outrageous Fortune where he played twins, an idiot stoner, and a lawyer, and he was fantastic back then. also I love that dawn of the seven is all ugly and sepia toned. much like the movie it's making fun of and while I haven't read all of the boys, they had to have stolen that idea for termite from the marvel fans theorising how antman could defeat thanos
flg, with your appreciation of Charlize Theron may I suggest you do a reaction to "2 Days in the Valley" if you haven't already seen it. It has an amazing cast. Here is the trailer in case you're interested. th-cam.com/video/rQf5BI1_K50/w-d-xo.html
In my opinion, Homelander is the Superman of the team which I do find interesting while cringy because he is mostly a hero or anti hero or even a villain because I don't know anything about him, So please let me know, But his powers are cool, and great reaction.
![not the sneeze... | THE BOYS [3x1] (REACTION)](/img/n.gif)
Antony Starr (Homelander) is such a good actor. He was in a show called 'Banshee' and it's fantastic. I highly recommend it.
Banshee, one of my favorite shows
Banshee is epic, and Ivana Miličević is beauty incarnate.
Banshee was amazing.
I'd argue it's not that there's a good guy hidden in Homelander, it's that there is a VERY damaged child buried at his core. There might be a glimmer of potential for him to LEARN to be a good guy (and it is decidedly faint), but he's WAY too broken to do good right now. And the Butcher-Hughie thing is a little more complicated than "I don't like a weaker man having power over me" as much as "This guy is so close to the brother I lost and the guilt from that colours how I interact with him"... Such fun to have this back :)
I just started watching this season & it never fails to utterly shock me. So disgusting, so good.
Thanks for the reaction.
If you want to hear more Karen Fukuhara singing, she sings a lot as Kipo in Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts! (Fun animated show on Netflix)
When I heard her sing on Kipo I was shocked and enamored. I am so glad she was allowed to sing on the Boys. I believe her daydream was about her wanting the courage to regain her voice so she could enjoy something as basic as singing.
The ending with the song "Uptown Girl" just like the beginning is a great start to the season. I watched the season when it came out and I still can't get it out of my head!

Termite's mistake with Frenchie was that he tried to go ass to mouth. You never go ass to mouth.

Holy moly you got this reaction out on TH-cam quickly!
In the immortal words of Harmony Kendall: I've told you before, it's boy girl boy... or Charlize Theron.
Your reactions are fun 😊👍the boys is awesome
If The Deep actually stood up to Homelander and grew a backbone, Homelander would probably rip it out through his gills Mortal-Kombat style.
I think the director fought tooth and nail to get that opening scene for episode one.
It had me biting my knuckles.
I love it, can’t wait to see your reactions to the next episode!!!!
I am looking forward to Termites commercials for Terminix ;-) hehe
It's times like this that I wished Omniman was in the boys universe.
Homelander would slip right down the food chain.
Also, I don't like it when a character is a Superman type because they use a Superman type character to be evil, corruptive, and dangerous which makes me sad because Clark Kent aka Superman represents hope, truth, and justice to everyone.
Power corrupts. Superman would not work in real life. He would get manipulated by governments: lied to and forced to become a weapon.
I was not prepared for this episode, I thought I was but nope 😬 lol
Wonderful reaction! And you are absolutely right, Antony Starr is SO disturbing as Homelander. The casting all around is fantastic.
