Lamplighter “torched” himself. He’s not coming back. Love Shawn Ashmore though Jensen Ackles upped The Boys game to the next level. Like most of the Supe and non-Supes his arc went from Dick (Supernatural “Dean” running gag) to sympathetic to Dick back and for faster than any other character to date and totally pulled it off with bells!
I dunno, with compound V injections they might have tried bringing him back (with a missing hand). Most supes can survive bullets so why not immolation? Sure, coming back as a burnt zombie might be pretty weird, but stranger things have happened.
@@samuraicupcake289 chances are pretty low, I mean the dude deep Fried himself beyond reason...

I usually dislike it when major changes implemented in adaptations, but having seen the show and having seen the differences from the original comic... I'm glad they changed things. The comic sounds a lot more ridiculous than the show's story, which is a lot more serious, for lack of a better term. I've not liked everything in the show, but it looks like one of those rare instances where an adaptation has a better story than the source material.
the comics doesnt want to tell a story, its only focused on saying super heroes suck and should die because they are either incompetent morons, that are clearly mentaly undeveloped, or are complete depraved monsters who do the most disturbing things just for the kicks. the show at least tries to make them into real people.
@@marcosdheleno but the comics actually did tell a story, I can't see how you could have possibly read the whole series and didn't get what the story was. If that superheroes are bad and terrible people or whatever, is the impression that you got as an overall story, you sure did miss or misunderstand a lot.
@@jaqua7732 Like I said, I thought the show's story seemed more realistic. Sarcastic, yes, but it took its own premise seriously. The comic went beyond sarcasm into a full-on parody of a superhero story.
@@daniell1483 it wasn't a parody of a superhero story at all dude. One punch man is a parody of a superhero story. That story was very realistic in that it was government experimentation that started it all. Just like the government does illegal experimentation on the civilian population all the way up until today. Also in that it was extreme government corruption that had the organizations running how they were. Just like governments do with organizations that they start or overtake today. The story emphasized on how things would actually look if that many random people suddenly had that type of power. Do you really think that many people would be so caring and loving and concerned about humanity that all they would want to do is help? No you would have people displaying every type of personality that people actually display. Which means a ton of them would be narcissistic, psychotic, insane, power hungry, fame-driven and worse. Especially when you take into consideration that it was all government controlled and that type of behavior is what they rewarded and perpetuated. In the comic that girl gave like two or three dudes a b****** to join that group. In Hollywood women and men both are often expected to perform sexually to further their positions. So I totally cannot understand how you can think the comic series didn't take itself seriously, but I can't argue about the realism, it's like I said 10 minutes into the first episode and I was already done.
"I personally thought he was a little too soft for my liking..." Bro he's a child 😅 Not only that, but he was a child who grew up with a compassionate mother who tried to teach him right from wrong. What an odd thing to say lmao
It’s a very odd thing to say. Like calling stormfront a millennial 11:30 she has pictures of her with Himmler and Geobbles and married Vought. She’s over 100 years old and says so several times. She’s from the silent generation she’s not even a boomer let alone a millennial. Idk wtf he was going for there
Yeah i picked up on that too, made me not vibe with this video/commentator, Ryan was a nice, sweet kid before Homelander, to hear him described as "too soft" was pretty douche-y actually
In the comic she is 12 as well but repadly aging because of the V the got from MM that is the reason why she is so mature because other girls and people could not believe her real age, that makes hers and her mother's( who is a completely different person compared to the series) decision to act in adult movies way more sinister
I haven't read the comics but even hearing all this, I feel like I'm not getting spoiled because the comics are just so different that I feel it's impossible to get spoiled.
I feel like Lamplighter could come back as a "zombie." Yeah he was burned really bad but he is a supe. Also I'd have to go back and look but his "corpse" kind of looked like Jack from Jupiter. No nose, tight skin, etc
Would make sense actually. Considering there were actually revived supes in the comics and it seems in s3 the show is getting more and more things from the source material
You read the comics didn't you? Anyways if they do end up adapting the zombie characters i hope they actually DO something with it instead of just having them as literal background objects
Also Kimiko, Or "The Female" Is notoriously strong in the Comics, being the 5th strongest it goes, (Comic Scaling) Black Noir Homelander Stormfront Queen Maeve Kimiko
The cast is phenomenal. The show WAS mostly good. Season 4 has definitely dropped the ball and the showrunners are doing it on purpose. As is the trend it would seem right now.
You know what would be crazy for Queen. She had sex with Butcher...what if she got pregnant by him and produces a supe baby with her amd Butcher powers. They can say the temp V didn't leave his system when they had sex. Making homelander extremely angry since it seems Butcher gets everything that homelander wants. He got Becca. Ryan. Homelander wanted kids with Queen Mave. He has a loyal team.
He doesn't have Becca or Ryan, but the other two things ye, and having any one of them over Homelander is enough for him to be pissed off about it I guess 🤣
@@immortaltg7283 it didn't completely change. Rayn is trying to have a family with Homelander after his mom died and Butcher left him. but when it came to, Butcher protected Rayn and Rayn protected Butcher.
@@immortaltg7283 I don't think Homelander ever wanted Becca to love him, but I do think he wanted a loving wife, so he'd be jelaous regardless I guess.
Something that was missed is that in the show Ryan is the only natural born supe. Pretty sure they said somewhere in season 2 that every other supe's kids were given compound V to have powers. Ryan not being given compound V is probably going to play into soldier boys anti-supe power in season 4. They said it fries the compound V out of the supes blood, might not work against Ryan who was born with powers.
@@gristlelollygag Any experiment you can think of has already been done on Homelander as a kid lol that's the whole point. Soldier boy is not needed anymore, they have a superior version of him.
@@satopei999 No he is saying opinion though, because I read the comic book series well before this trash ever came out, and 10 minutes into the first show I was already turning that bullshit off. So no he's not speaking facts he's speaking his opinion, just like it's my opinion that the comic book series was fine how it was and didn't need to be changed.
@@satopei999 yeah man I hate it when people are so lacking in creativity, that all they can do is take someone else's work and change it so that they like it better as opposed to simply coming up with their own thing.
About the let me know part, Rayner is Butcher's sex partner from time to time in the comic books. They also did not include Monkey... yet. And Jack and Doctor Peculiar would be a nice addition to future seasons.
lol idk how you could hate Deep his character arc is funny as shit to me - he's constantly getting c*cked and never gets to do any cool shit, its incredible
...huh? Hughie regresses and gets clout he never earned, Starlight speedran her entire arc in 1 season then did nothing but cringe since, Butcher is reduced to cute quip guy, every relationship lacks depth and realism, all they did to Maeve is make her gay and lampshade all her wreckless coping behaviors under alcohol lik "oh i like martinis, I must be such a wreck", and Homeland has a mommy issues. That's his entire psyche in the show. Some of the most meaningful arcs in the series were stripped down to one episode jokes. That's good writing to you? Wait until you see a real show that doesn't suck after 1 season. Stop watching CW, dude, there's better stuff out there. You're really missing out.
@@rainofrest7778 I can but literally don't need to. That's not even a counter, that's changing the subject because you can't actually say anything meaningful like I did
I honestly don’t believe black noirs role is over in the show I believe he didn’t die COMPLETELY due to his intense healing factor I believe Edgar may have saved him being long time acquaintances, and may be working experiments on him to get his revenge on homelander, so I think it will take material from the comic but not all of it but bits and pieces
To my friends that haven’t read the comics, I say that The Boys TV show is much more of a reimagination of the source material rather than an adaptation. And yes, I also make it clear that the TV show is tame compared to the comics
I have a feeling that Stormfront's DNA was still just as involved in Homelander's creation as was Soldier Boy's - since it was established by Homelander himself in the show that the female cells are still needed.

Adding a bit of incest _would_ be par for the course for the show...
Hughie temp-V is really a big departure from the comics and pretty questionable. How can he control it? He just thinks really hard of a place and his body does the rest? How accurate is it? What if he accidentally teleports halfway underground? Can he even missfire? This is never once discussed. He just teleports and its funny. In the comics he just stronk.
@@samuraicupcake289 yeah all the supes in the comics can literally get their head cuut clean off with a kick or chop. but it seems like atrain might have a somewhat happy ending (like maeve) in the show version. never gonna know with these guys lol
@@samuraicupcake289 I think Hughie can definitely control where he teleports. He teleported Starlight right next to his car with fresh clothes to change into during “Herogasm.” He said it felt natural, so it must have been similar to a regular person doing a jump or something. Teleportations seem pretty OP. Like he could just teleport someone on top of a building or a volcano and drop them there then teleport back. The only thing we don’t know is how far can he teleport and if he can continuously teleport or if there’s a “cooldown.”
@@stephenmoney4722 despite A Train seeing and realizing his despicable past and even if he redeem himself in the end. I hope he doesn't get an Happy Ending, I hope he dies like a Karma.
this is one of the shoes that i actually like having not be completley linear to the comics because it feels so fresh just seeing the characters act differently
Lmao yea from what I can remember, his name and costume has absolutely nothing to do with his powers. Vaught just made it up to have a water based superhero for the team.
After seeing Gen V, I get the feeling they really want to extend this universe.. It doesn't feel like a one and done season, feels like the introduction to so much more.. I think Homelander and The Boys will be forced to team up against a bigger bad.. They've hinted at it, and the way the show is going I can't see him taking over the world.. They'll push towards it then pull the rug out.
I think a-train will get a redemption arc in season 4 but mess it up by killing someone the same way as he killed hughies girlfriend in the first episode and one of the last things butcher does before he dies is capture A-train for hughie to finally bring long over due vengeance to the guy.
i think if he does, the series hughie wont kill him instead it will either be butcher or an accident. with maybe starlight seeing and thinking hughie is a psychopath now that he got powers.
I reckon that they made it a lot more tame in terms of themes etc, but not to its detriment. The show is still great and still very brutal, but what happened in the comics just wouldn't fly, and we'd find it hard to connect with the characters if they were how they appeared in the comic.
The show is insanely better than the comics. The comic feels like its just for shock and everyone is awful for the sake of being terrible while the show gives the characters so much more dimension and complexity. For once the show is better than the source material lol
One key difference is that in the comics the biggest divergence from the real world happened during 9-11. In the comics, the plane incident was explicitly tied to 9-11.
the boys takes liberties like the walking dead did. straying from source material to tell a different story. lets just hope they are better at it than the walking dead.
this is what i call an adaptation, my favorite series in decades, this is what i expected to see for resident evil, get the source material, and make it look more human and less "gamey", for the comics is the same, you're not suppose to take 100% of the source material into a series, otherwise, what's the point of the adaptation?
The Boys comic feels needlessly mean at times and pointlessly dark, like it FEELS like a SI Revenge Fantasy against several comic super heroes with the serial numbers filed off at times. Is it bad that I prefer Worm to The Boys when The Boys was written by a person who HATES super heroes and the idea of super heroes?
What if homlander is storm front and soldier boys child? They needed a mother too and she was the strongest of females ; and it would make the show even more fked up
Stormfront was the first Supe, but definitely not the strongest, that would be Queen Maeve (as per the showmakers). But Stormfront and then Soldier Boy did end up getting the purest version of the Serum, which was simply superior. The later ones were mass manufactured and I guess very diluted in quality. That would make sense as apart from Homelander (Who actually was born from Soldier Boy's sperm and an unknown mother's egg) may have got the purest form of V or a genetic variant from Soldier Boy while all other supes such as Queen Maeve, Noir or even A-Train got great powers, but none on the level of HOmelander.
To be clear (show) Homelander father is soldier boy but her mom is unknown but let’s just say who else can/could fly, would be down to create a genetic superior race, and started herogasm with soldier boy
What the comic does a bit better is Hughie and Starlight/Annies relationship. It's more complex than the show at times and delves more into the psychological factors of getting molested/raped, where in the show she was just simply angry about it. In the comic It's a constant battle for each other to keep the relationship together as they both have troubles revealing their traumas to one another. People who read the comics and say it's edge lord stuff haven't really read the comics, because all that edginess and gore is pretty much very surface level to keep things unique, many people watch the show for the crazy edgy stuff too, it sells. You are mostly reading the comic for the stories of Butcher, Hughie, and Annie, the rest are edgy filler that are honestly just breaks from the relationship drama, and moral drama with Hughie and Butcher. Of course with a cute little bonus of Frenchie and The Female relationship. My proof? It's the only things the show hasn't changed from the comics at all.
Definitely agree 100%! Hughie and Annie’s relationship in the show is very one-note, same arguments and scenes between them repetitively. Their comic relationship has a lot more going for it.
"her character was expanded to include being bisexual but that never impacted the story" actually wrong for the show, the writter or director(forgot his name) said on a tweet that he wouldn't get Queen Mabe killed because she is the main LGBT character.
So soldier boy + liberty . stormfront+homelander = like father like son 🙈 and what happens in season 4 if mave is pregnant with a butcher's baby . I think butcher was on temp v and mave lost her powers due to soldier boy
I am kinda hoping they replace some of the members of the seven with some hero’s not featured yet in the comics since what happened with Maeve,starlight,supersonic, and noir.
Soldier boy is my favorite character by far ! Jensen nailed it! He is the real OG and.will help take out his brightburn son and his son can grow up very much not like homelander. Soldier boy was so engaging and hilarious.
Just because black noir was killed off the show doesn’t mean black noir is dead. He’s just a man in a mask and a black suit. They don’t even know if that’s the same black noir when they first formed the seven.
Can’t wait to see what they do with Malchemical and the G-Men in future seasons. The source material is wild AF, but the adaptation is one of the best shows out there
My crackpot theory is that Ryan will be the final villain. The finale of season 2 showed that Ryan might be stronger than Homelander, and at this point he's still just a kid. I think Black Noir will come back to kill Homelander, Butcher will face off against Ryan and probably die
I thought Marvel's Civil War was a better take than in the comics. The comic version was just so Stoopid. Live action version made Iron Man more relatable. The two things that I think The Boys comic did better was everything Vass and the gaslighting of Homelander. Other than that the show is much better.
@@AceMoonshot you are right, if we expand to movie or shows that aren't R-rated we can find many examples, but most of them get only some points better than the comics (like DuckTales 2017 is one of the greatest animated shows ever because of the characters but the action sequences, especially the ones in the past, are epic in the comics) +1 like if there is another person who watched both shows I think I'm the only one
@@joeblow5658 the comic is def not as good as the show, comic was a what if superhero’s were bad guys with a lot of edginess. Still surprised it even got an adaption tbh.
How did The Boys even get picked up as a show in the first place? I am seeing so many comments saying the comics aren't even good. I mean, I guess the overall plot is pretty unique. But were the comics even popular before the show? (I am not a comic guy, but absolutely loved watching The Boys).
Kripke changed so much from the comics you can barely even make comparisons anymore, the show is totally different than the books, whichever one you prefer is the only factor in if that’s good or bad
THATS THE JOKE. The whole person was that they tried rebranding superheroes to make them inoffensive and in doing so they made a black guy look like a klansman
As others said, i wouldnhave made more sense to: 1- adjust your recipe for AAU so that the two beers match up better on IBUs 2- Martin should not have been told his results until after all tests, it corrupted the results. 3- vary the samples so you have something like 3 the same, 1 old hop, 2 old hop, etc.
Comic Spoiler🚨🚨🚨: I remember searching for something about the boys on Google and accidentally clicking on one of these frequently asked questions. I read that black noir kills homelander and got mad for spoiling myself. Turns out I did not spoil the show for me.
the TV show missed the critique of the military industrial complex: Voight selling deathtrap fireball planes and tanks to the US armed forces in WW2 and unreliable useless rifles to the US Army in Vietnam, causing several thousand US troops to be surrounded, massacred and their heads mounted on stakes
What's interesting to me about this is that there were a few scenes in the show in which the writers completely failed at toning down the comics and ended up matching them in terms of how gross and perverse they were
@@CT-1118 They literally said in an interview that they were trying to tone it down to make it more watchable. What they actually did was make everything feel less one dimensional. There were absolutely some gory scenes that were just as over the top as some of the stuff from the comics. Remember the scene with the guy who could shrink and grow as his power? That was 100 percent on par with the tone of the comics
I think the idea is just that he’s lantern-themed, so he filled that slot on the roster. Not that he actually has anything in common with Green Lantern.
The 7 = the JLA. Garth has confirmed each one of those parodies, including Lamplighter being GL. The only one that wasn’t a straight up parody is Starlight, because she’s an actual character with depth.

@@marcosdheleno but the comics actually did tell a story, I can't see how you could have possibly read the whole series and didn't get what the story was.
If that superheroes are bad and terrible people or whatever, is the impression that you got as an overall story, you sure did miss or misunderstand a lot.
@@jaqua7732 Like I said, I thought the show's story seemed more realistic. Sarcastic, yes, but it took its own premise seriously. The comic went beyond sarcasm into a full-on parody of a superhero story.
@@daniell1483 it wasn't a parody of a superhero story at all dude.
One punch man is a parody of a superhero story.
That story was very realistic in that it was government experimentation that started it all.
Just like the government does illegal experimentation on the civilian population all the way up until today.
Also in that it was extreme government corruption that had the organizations running how they were.
Just like governments do with organizations that they start or overtake today.
The story emphasized on how things would actually look if that many random people suddenly had that type of power.
Do you really think that many people would be so caring and loving and concerned about humanity that all they would want to do is help?
No you would have people displaying every type of personality that people actually display.
Which means a ton of them would be narcissistic, psychotic, insane, power hungry, fame-driven and worse.
Especially when you take into consideration that it was all government controlled and that type of behavior is what they rewarded and perpetuated.
In the comic that girl gave like two or three dudes a b****** to join that group.
In Hollywood women and men both are often expected to perform sexually to further their positions.
So I totally cannot understand how you can think the comic series didn't take itself seriously, but I can't argue about the realism, it's like I said 10 minutes into the first episode and I was already done.
"I personally thought he was a little too soft for my liking..."
Bro he's a child 😅
Not only that, but he was a child who grew up with a compassionate mother who tried to teach him right from wrong. What an odd thing to say lmao
You know he is talking about a fictional show right?
@@-saklo-2256 ???
It’s a very odd thing to say. Like calling stormfront a millennial 11:30 she has pictures of her with Himmler and Geobbles and married Vought. She’s over 100 years old and says so several times. She’s from the silent generation she’s not even a boomer let alone a millennial. Idk wtf he was going for there
Yeah i picked up on that too, made me not vibe with this video/commentator, Ryan was a nice, sweet kid before Homelander, to hear him described as "too soft" was pretty douche-y actually
@@-saklo-2256 Yeah, wiggi0620 is talking about what happened in the fictional show too. Your point?
Honestly Jensen Killed it with Soldier boy in my opinion. He’s a really good actor and my favorite since supernatural
Janine is quite different as well. She's a young adult with authority issues instead of MM's loving daughter.
In the comic she is 12 as well but repadly aging because of the V the got from MM that is the reason why she is so mature because other girls and people could not believe her real age, that makes hers and her mother's( who is a completely different person compared to the series) decision to act in adult movies way more sinister
@@kaipi_starthat storyline was so fucked up bruh like it actually wasn’t necessary MM was going through enough😭
I haven't read the comics but even hearing all this, I feel like I'm not getting spoiled because the comics are just so different that I feel it's impossible to get spoiled.
I feel like Lamplighter could come back as a "zombie." Yeah he was burned really bad but he is a supe. Also I'd have to go back and look but his "corpse" kind of looked like Jack from Jupiter. No nose, tight skin, etc
Would make sense actually. Considering there were actually revived supes in the comics and it seems in s3 the show is getting more and more things from the source material
You read the comics didn't you? Anyways if they do end up adapting the zombie characters i hope they actually DO something with it instead of just having them as literal background objects
He would be missing one hand tho😅
Also Kimiko, Or "The Female" Is notoriously strong in the Comics, being the 5th strongest
it goes, (Comic Scaling)
Black Noir
Homelander
Stormfront
Queen Maeve

The biggest difference is the comics were made to bash superheroes, the show is made to THINK about superheroes.
Perfectly put
One is a parody made out of hate
The other is a deconstrucion made out of respect/love for the genre
Absolute bollocks
Soldier Boy needs a spin off
That’s a idea deserving of mention.
Agreed!
Maybe a show about the payback team?
theme song would have to be him singing Rapture
F soldier boy's racist ass.
All in all I have to say the show is pretty good whether or not you like all the changes. The cast is pretty great.
The cast is phenomenal. The show WAS mostly good. Season 4 has definitely dropped the ball and the showrunners are doing it on purpose. As is the trend it would seem right now.
You know what would be crazy for Queen.
She had sex with Butcher...what if she got pregnant by him and produces a supe baby with her amd Butcher powers. They can say the temp V didn't leave his system when they had sex.
Making homelander extremely angry since it seems Butcher gets everything that homelander wants.
He got Becca. Ryan. Homelander wanted kids with Queen Mave. He has a loyal team.
He doesn't have Becca or Ryan, but the other two things ye, and having any one of them over Homelander is enough for him to be pissed off about it I guess 🤣
@@dustingaethje1332 he HAD Becca. And becca loved him. Something Homelander wanted.
And Ryan Loved him. I know now thats changed. But yeah.
@@immortaltg7283 it didn't completely change. Rayn is trying to have a family with Homelander after his mom died and Butcher left him. but when it came to, Butcher protected Rayn and Rayn protected Butcher.
They will never go this way, this show is still not that diabolical
@@immortaltg7283 I don't think Homelander ever wanted Becca to love him, but I do think he wanted a loving wife, so he'd be jelaous regardless I guess.
Something that was missed is that in the show Ryan is the only natural born supe. Pretty sure they said somewhere in season 2 that every other supe's kids were given compound V to have powers. Ryan not being given compound V is probably going to play into soldier boys anti-supe power in season 4. They said it fries the compound V out of the supes blood, might not work against Ryan who was born with powers.
Soldier got frozen up and sent back to Russia. So I doubt we'll ever see him again.
Technically Homelander was born with powers.
Soldier Boy created Homelander, which became true first innate metahuman.
And Homelander birthed Ryan
@@ceoChief09Homelander And Ryan could be impervious to Soldier Boys nullifying effects.
I dont think The Boys, will have a happy Series Finale LOL.
@@ceoChief09 why would the americans hand him over, if now they can do experiments on him?
@@gristlelollygag Any experiment you can think of has already been done on Homelander as a kid lol that's the whole point. Soldier boy is not needed anymore, they have a superior version of him.
The Boys appears to be one of the very, very rare instances of a screen adaptation improving on the source material in pretty much every way.
HOW
🤣🤣🤣 you must be a class a comedian 🤣🤣🤣
@@jaqua7732 he's saying facts tho
@@satopei999 No he is saying opinion though, because I read the comic book series well before this trash ever came out, and 10 minutes into the first show I was already turning that bullshit off.
So no he's not speaking facts he's speaking his opinion, just like it's my opinion that the comic book series was fine how it was and didn't need to be changed.
@@satopei999 yeah man I hate it when people are so lacking in creativity, that all they can do is take someone else's work and change it so that they like it better as opposed to simply coming up with their own thing.
Comics Soldier Boy is proof that Captain America’s real power is his heart. They both have the same powers but Steve has the will to act.
I read this as “cosmic soldier boy” and it made me ponder an omega level villain that’s addicted to hard drugs
@@thisguyknowsball That would likely make for a very dangerous villain. Especially if their power was boosted by the drug use.
They dont have same powers, soldier is powerful then captain, he is walking neuclear bomb
@@khizerhussain7613 🤓🤓
You really hit me with the “just trust me bro” for the herogasm
About the let me know part, Rayner is Butcher's sex partner from time to time in the comic books. They also did not include Monkey... yet. And Jack and Doctor Peculiar would be a nice addition to future seasons.
I agree, Jack could appear again as he appeared in the pr0n video that Hughie was watching and also since most of the 7 is gone
6:33 actually a-train came from the teenage kix in the comics, which is the same team popclaw is in, so popclaw used to be his teammate in the comics.
lol idk how you could hate Deep his character arc is funny as shit to me - he's constantly getting c*cked and never gets to do any cool shit, its incredible
And when he does try to do something good he fucks up lmao. That dolphin scene left my jaw on the floor
It's a really well written show
...huh?
Hughie regresses and gets clout he never earned, Starlight speedran her entire arc in 1 season then did nothing but cringe since, Butcher is reduced to cute quip guy, every relationship lacks depth and realism, all they did to Maeve is make her gay and lampshade all her wreckless coping behaviors under alcohol lik "oh i like martinis, I must be such a wreck", and Homeland has a mommy issues. That's his entire psyche in the show.
Some of the most meaningful arcs in the series were stripped down to one episode jokes.
That's good writing to you? Wait until you see a real show that doesn't suck after 1 season. Stop watching CW, dude, there's better stuff out there. You're really missing out.

@@thelocust619no
@@rainofrest7778 I can but literally don't need to. That's not even a counter, that's changing the subject because you can't actually say anything meaningful like I did
I honestly don’t believe black noirs role is over in the show I believe he didn’t die COMPLETELY due to his intense healing factor I believe Edgar may have saved him being long time acquaintances, and may be working experiments on him to get his revenge on homelander, so I think it will take material from the comic but not all of it but bits and pieces
To my friends that haven’t read the comics, I say that The Boys TV show is much more of a reimagination of the source material rather than an adaptation. And yes, I also make it clear that the TV show is tame compared to the comics
I have a feeling that Stormfront's DNA was still just as involved in Homelander's creation as was Soldier Boy's - since it was established by Homelander himself in the show that the female cells are still needed.
Adding a bit of incest _would_ be par for the course for the show...
Please no
Noooo that'll make homelander relationship with stormfront is kinda Ince*St??? That mental
@@Jaladr1 His relationships were f-ed up as it stood. So that wouldn't be saying much.

No one mentioning Billy Butchers accent? Meant to be British but goes back and fourth from Ozzy to Brit.
It doesn't (on purpose). Karl Urban is from NZ so his accent slips through while he's putting on a London accent.
I wonder if Hughie might accidentally teleport inside of A-Train and create a similar effect to 'shrink-guy' and robin's death.
Hughie temp-V is really a big departure from the comics and pretty questionable. How can he control it? He just thinks really hard of a place and his body does the rest? How accurate is it? What if he accidentally teleports halfway underground? Can he even missfire? This is never once discussed. He just teleports and its funny.
In the comics he just stronk.
@@samuraicupcake289 yeah all the supes in the comics can literally get their head cuut clean off with a kick or chop.
but it seems like atrain might have a somewhat happy ending (like maeve) in the show version.
never gonna know with these guys lol
@@samuraicupcake289 I think Hughie can definitely control where he teleports. He teleported Starlight right next to his car with fresh clothes to change into during “Herogasm.” He said it felt natural, so it must have been similar to a regular person doing a jump or something. Teleportations seem pretty OP. Like he could just teleport someone on top of a building or a volcano and drop them there then teleport back. The only thing we don’t know is how far can he teleport and if he can continuously teleport or if there’s a “cooldown.”
I feel like if something like that happened they would both get killed
@@stephenmoney4722 despite A Train seeing and realizing his despicable past and even if he redeem himself in the end. I hope he doesn't get an Happy Ending, I hope he dies like a Karma.
Difference: The Show isn't that insane compared to the Comics
Extra
Yeah, the comics is insanely bad compared to the show
@Dan Mart
Disagree. I like the comics.
@@lapislazuli5035 That's fine, but the show is far superior than the comics in terms of writing and character development.
the comics are over the top gross for the sake of just that being edge trash
this is one of the shoes that i actually like having not be completley linear to the comics because it feels so fresh just seeing the characters act differently
The deep in the comics could fly and had super strength and durability
He still has super strength & durability. He was also black in the comics with no affiliation with water.
Lmao yea from what I can remember, his name and costume has absolutely nothing to do with his powers. Vaught just made it up to have a water based superhero for the team.
to be fair to many sups in the comics can fly are super strong and durable.
After seeing Gen V, I get the feeling they really want to extend this universe.. It doesn't feel like a one and done season, feels like the introduction to so much more.. I think Homelander and The Boys will be forced to team up against a bigger bad.. They've hinted at it, and the way the show is going I can't see him taking over the world.. They'll push towards it then pull the rug out.
They boys took a niche comic and made a fantastic show
I think a-train will get a redemption arc in season 4 but mess it up by killing someone the same way as he killed hughies girlfriend in the first episode and one of the last things butcher does before he dies is capture A-train for hughie to finally bring long over due vengeance to the guy.
i think if he does, the series hughie wont kill him instead it will either be butcher or an accident. with maybe starlight seeing and thinking hughie is a psychopath now that he got powers.
The changes have been pretty well enjoyed. It's like Lolita Battle Angel. We didn't need one made from dead prostitutes, and it was a good direction
Alita my dude😆✌️Lolita has a whole a nother meaning😇
@@Canma890 lol right, I believe that is what they call a Freudian slip, but also, 100% accurate description of the manga series.
@@gamesuarx I know, it's funnier this way, though
I reckon that they made it a lot more tame in terms of themes etc, but not to its detriment. The show is still great and still very brutal, but what happened in the comics just wouldn't fly, and we'd find it hard to connect with the characters if they were how they appeared in the comic.
The show is insanely better than the comics. The comic feels like its just for shock and everyone is awful for the sake of being terrible while the show gives the characters so much more dimension and complexity. For once the show is better than the source material lol
@@yeasyeas6926 Seems to be :)
One key difference is that in the comics the biggest divergence from the real world happened during 9-11. In the comics, the plane incident was explicitly tied to 9-11.
the boys takes liberties like the walking dead did. straying from source material to tell a different story. lets just hope they are better at it than the walking dead.
After 3 amazing seasons, I think they've earned our trust in being able to adapt the source material!
@@ScreenRant yeah but so were the first 3 seasons of the walking dead
@@fireengie8488 With Butcher's medical condition I don't think they are planning to extend it beyond S4 anyway.
this is what i call an adaptation, my favorite series in decades, this is what i expected to see for resident evil, get the source material, and make it look more human and less "gamey", for the comics is the same, you're not suppose to take 100% of the source material into a series, otherwise, what's the point of the adaptation?
As I am scottish I was pretty gutted when they didn’t make Hughie scottish 😂😂 still one of the best characters
The Boys comic feels needlessly mean at times and pointlessly dark, like it FEELS like a SI Revenge Fantasy against several comic super heroes with the serial numbers filed off at times.
Is it bad that I prefer Worm to The Boys when The Boys was written by a person who HATES super heroes and the idea of super heroes?
Worm is GREAT, it's got everything that the Boys does but, well... More nuanced.
The first soldier boy in the comic is who he's based on...not the scared one who became soldier boy after the original was killed
Did you not watch the video? He says this.
What if homlander is storm front and soldier boys child? They needed a mother too and she was the strongest of females ; and it would make the show even more fked up
She’d of known.
Stormfront was the first Supe, but definitely not the strongest, that would be Queen Maeve (as per the showmakers). But Stormfront and then Soldier Boy did end up getting the purest version of the Serum, which was simply superior. The later ones were mass manufactured and I guess very diluted in quality. That would make sense as apart from Homelander (Who actually was born from Soldier Boy's sperm and an unknown mother's egg) may have got the purest form of V or a genetic variant from Soldier Boy while all other supes such as Queen Maeve, Noir or even A-Train got great powers, but none on the level of HOmelander.
To be clear (show) Homelander father is soldier boy but her mom is unknown but let’s just say who else can/could fly, would be down to create a genetic superior race, and started herogasm with soldier boy
Show> comic
Yeah for sure
You are the problem
@@joeblow5658 you are miserable
100% true
Bullshit.
I love all the gender swaps they did in the show (absolutely brilliant), especially Stormfront!!
The Amazon Soldier Boy is like an mix between Wolverine and Captain America.
What the comic does a bit better is Hughie and Starlight/Annies relationship. It's more complex than the show at times and delves more into the psychological factors of getting molested/raped, where in the show she was just simply angry about it. In the comic It's a constant battle for each other to keep the relationship together as they both have troubles revealing their traumas to one another.
People who read the comics and say it's edge lord stuff haven't really read the comics, because all that edginess and gore is pretty much very surface level to keep things unique, many people watch the show for the crazy edgy stuff too, it sells. You are mostly reading the comic for the stories of Butcher, Hughie, and Annie, the rest are edgy filler that are honestly just breaks from the relationship drama, and moral drama with Hughie and Butcher. Of course with a cute little bonus of Frenchie and The Female relationship.
My proof? It's the only things the show hasn't changed from the comics at all.
Definitely agree 100%! Hughie and Annie’s relationship in the show is very one-note, same arguments and scenes between them repetitively. Their comic relationship has a lot more going for it.
that would be hard to portray on top of all the stuff happening in the show. im thinking 13 reasons why
starlight even looks exactly like her comic book counterpart
"her character was expanded to include being bisexual but that never impacted the story" actually wrong for the show, the writter or director(forgot his name) said on a tweet that he wouldn't get Queen Mabe killed because she is the main LGBT character.
Edgar is one of my favourite characters, one of the best changes
The boys is a masterpiece excellent writing superb cast
The best superhero related thing I've ever seen.
The comics don't look so interesting..
I like the comic and I’m grateful for the source material, but the show is sooo much better.
So soldier boy + liberty . stormfront+homelander = like father like son 🙈 and what happens in season 4 if mave is pregnant with a butcher's baby . I think butcher was on temp v and mave lost her powers due to soldier boy
*Hate Homelander?...Homelander is ny favorite character on the show lol*
I am kinda hoping they replace some of the members of the seven with some hero’s not featured yet in the comics since what happened with Maeve,starlight,supersonic, and noir.
Soldier boy is my favorite character by far ! Jensen nailed it! He is the real OG and.will help take out his brightburn son and his son can grow up very much not like homelander. Soldier boy was so engaging and hilarious.
Just because black noir was killed off the show doesn’t mean black noir is dead. He’s just a man in a mask and a black suit. They don’t even know if that’s the same black noir when they first formed the seven.
Can’t wait to see what they do with Malchemical and the G-Men in future seasons. The source material is wild AF, but the adaptation is one of the best shows out there
Ryan gonna be comic black noir
My crackpot theory is that Ryan will be the final villain. The finale of season 2 showed that Ryan might be stronger than Homelander, and at this point he's still just a kid.
I think Black Noir will come back to kill Homelander, Butcher will face off against Ryan and probably die
What ever happened to the patient in season 2 that was basically similar in powers to Victoria?
it looked like stormfront incapacitated her
@@mugiwara-no-luffy afterwards it showed her roaming free

The show is one of the few that are actually better than the comics and maybe the only R-rated one
I thought Marvel's Civil War was a better take than in the comics. The comic version was just so Stoopid. Live action version made Iron Man more relatable.
The two things that I think The Boys comic did better was everything Vass and the gaslighting of Homelander. Other than that the show is much better.
@@AceMoonshot you are right, if we expand to movie or shows that aren't R-rated we can find many examples, but most of them get only some points better than the comics (like DuckTales 2017 is one of the greatest animated shows ever because of the characters but the action sequences, especially the ones in the past, are epic in the comics)

Making Soldier Boy into the angry, “old school” dad type character was brilliant.
As others said, i wouldnhave made more sense to:
1- adjust your recipe for AAU so that the two beers match up better on IBUs
2- Martin should not have been told his results until after all tests, it corrupted the results.
3- vary the samples so you have something like 3 the same, 1 old hop, 2 old hop, etc.
How is Starlight the exact same character? It sounds like a fabricated excuse not to talk about her cause she’s actually a good person.
Comic Spoiler🚨🚨🚨:
I remember searching for something about the boys on Google and accidentally clicking on one of these frequently asked questions.
I read that black noir kills homelander and got mad for spoiling myself.
Turns out I did not spoil the show for me.
Thé show is killing it
Basically 7 consists of a Superman, wonder woman, photon/captain Marvel, Aquaman, flash, deadshot and hollow man
the TV show missed the critique of the military industrial complex: Voight selling deathtrap fireball planes and tanks to the US armed forces in WW2 and unreliable useless rifles to the US Army in Vietnam, causing several thousand US troops to be surrounded, massacred and their heads mounted on stakes
the 9/11 storyline made me cry ngl
Because that would actually require taking a stance against corruption in real life, and God forbid they do that
I mean, there was a whole thing about how the shoes were trying to be part of the military
Ryan is going to be the one who has the final real fight against Homelander in the show instead of it being Black Noir like in the comics.
Here A-train is bored, I would love to see more of Meave instead A train, even Noir is more interesting even though he never speaks.
i disagree
Never heard of the boys until the show came out, now I'm going to get the comics AND audiobooks.
@@BlazingBurrito2K You are so edgy
What's interesting to me about this is that there were a few scenes in the show in which the writers completely failed at toning down the comics and ended up matching them in terms of how gross and perverse they were
I don't think they were trying to tone it down usually, just trying to improve it
@@CT-1118 They literally said in an interview that they were trying to tone it down to make it more watchable. What they actually did was make everything feel less one dimensional. There were absolutely some gory scenes that were just as over the top as some of the stuff from the comics. Remember the scene with the guy who could shrink and grow as his power? That was 100 percent on par with the tone of the comics
My favorite change is that they made the show good!
I feel like The Deep is more like the soldier boy in the comics. Both are complete suck ups and are cowardly
I wish they kept black noir the same, him being a clone was such a small part of his reveal it really changes how you look at the real homelander
Maybe in season 4 they will bring him back as the clone with zinc mask so Homelander doesnt see who that really is.
@ku8son892 I'm hard pressed to find homelander letting that slide with everything going on
*Lamp Lighter isn't the equivalent of Green Lantern, he doesn't make constructs, doesn't fly etc...he's nothing like Green Lantern*
I think the idea is just that he’s lantern-themed, so he filled that slot on the roster. Not that he actually has anything in common with Green Lantern.
I don't know how old you are, but Lamp Lighter is 100% a parody of Golden/Silver-Age original Green Lantern, Alan Scott.
More to Pyro
The 7 = the JLA. Garth has confirmed each one of those parodies, including Lamplighter being GL. The only one that wasn’t a straight up parody is Starlight, because she’s an actual character with depth.

Soldier Boy in the show is epic. Old school. Tough as nails. Speaks his mind. Carries an old 1911. Badass.
