"Imagine a world where superheroes are real" . . . . (Cuts to a picture of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel) "Then imagine they're all total a**holes." Spot on, Mr. Drinker, spot on. 😂😂😂😂
@@Johnny_mak nope, looks good enough to watch it even with Drinkers extended trailer. And whats even more important - from the scenes we see here, looks like cast is hired based of their acting skills and suitability for the role not just their gender or skin color or gender politics beliefs. Same goes for Kobra Kay - just watch it and you'll be brought a decade or two back into the sane society.
I think the thing that makes Starr's performance as Homelander so perfect is that he's never actually playing the good guy. He's playing the psychopath playing the good guy. The clip at 7:46 is a perfect example. If you had never seen the show and saw the way he smiles there, you'd still be able to tell that he's faking it. The multiple layers come through in his performance, so even nice Homelander is terrifying.
Karl Urban is a fucking legend to me, his Dredd movie (I highly recommend it) is among the very best sci-fi dystopian future action movie ever made... in this series he's by far my favorite character.
Possibly the best action movie of a decade, and offensively underrated at that! ... and he also was Cupid in Hercules/Xena, and that Hella's cuck in Ragnarok :D
He's been a legend imo since playing Lord Vaako in Chronicles of Riddick from 2004. It's only since 2012 that he's started to gain the recognition he deserves.
I think what really sold Homelander's menace to me was his one on one with The Deep. The palpable tension, thinly veiled then overt threats, combined with that slightly just too hard shoulder rub and clap on the back had me tense af.
Using the baby to kill those suits with its laser eyes was one of the best things I've ever seen in a movie. Absolutely hilarious! Karl Urban is so freaking good in everything he's in.
If you think thats badass, then watch Banshee. Anthony Starr (aka Homelander) takes badassery to another level in that show. It is crazy violent and brutal.
"Even Dredd didn't ask much of him." Incorrect. Urban himself said it was one of the most demanding roles he's ever taken from a physical and acting point of view. Did most of all his own stunts. Every shot of Dredd on the back of the Lawmaster was all him. Alex Garland said that Urban actively edited the script as he went along because he understood more than most what the character was supposed to be; redacting lines of dialogue because he knew Dredd said less. His mannerisms, body language, speech pattern and tone were all spot on, and for Urban's own admittance, was very challenging given that he had to cover his eyes for the entire thing, and for an actor to do that and still convey a sense of character is hard to do. He was amazing in that role.
Hughie in the comic was aesthetically based on Pegg, he would have taken the role himself but said he was too old for it to believable. Too bad he wasn't still Scottish, that's sort of an important part of a bunch of stuff later in the comic.
Jack Quaid looks way to old to be his son but just looked up the ages of both of them... damn. I think not only does Simon look good for 50 but Jack looks like he's in his 30s so it's a bit weird that they are supposed to be father and son.
Here after the Drinker's latest video disowning this show. 8:20 is a great example of the sprouting of a weed that has now overrun the entire garden, growing and invading and choking out every other plant native-born to good storytelling.
@Jim Johnson that is the only way they can stay relevant in fights, so yeah. But most of others are not complete assholes, and we are shown why they are doing bad stuff. Also the Boys themselves are... cough... boys with one notable exception. And I basically started this comment with narrative reason for that. Just like recent Joker, this show is fairly straight mirror of modern society. Exaggerated at places, but not too much. And people as usual overreact on what hurts their butts the most at the moment.
Exactly, As soon as this series secures a solid following/fan base,...they'll turn it into propaganda bullshit. It's a rather well established pattern at this point. Then of course, it will be the 'fans fault' when it fails somewhere between seasons 3 and 5. Like clockwork.
Well, one of them’s caught up trying to turn people off of Dave Chappelle, so they might be delayed a week or two, but then I’m guessing they’ll be on top of this like a drunk guy on a mechanical bull.
ravenzyblack they already gender-swapped Mallory and Stilwell. A-Train is white in the comics. Hughie is Scottish. So...who gives af. Show wasn’t affected at all. They’ve strayed far away from the original material and still have produced a refreshing, overall good show. Hilarious seeing these snowflake comments.
...Becca was a rape victim. That she didn't actually kill herself speaks volumes of her strength of character. And from that glimpse, we saw that she lovingly raised her son. And how do we know that she isn't a prisoner of Vaught, you think she'd leave her son to them or they'd let her walk away with Homelander 2.0? Did Hugh love Robin less than Butcher did Becca? If not, why did Hughie move on, and Butcher never let it go?
@@johnquentines1842is she actually though? It doesn't make it clear. Could've just been the CIA lass using the cctv to manipulate Butcher as it's noted that she's done a fair bit.
@@marc2k3331 When Becca came out of the office she was disheveled and that's why I think she was raped. If they were having an affair she at least would have gone to great lenghts to keep it a secret. Mallory, yeah she is suspicious. She twisted facts to fit her narrative. We'll definitely know when season 2 airs.
The Deep/Starlight incident was played rather well I think. Great parallel to the real world. You have the asshole abusing his position of power, which puts him on your shit list right away. You later see Starlight coming under fire in comment sections, which shows how false accusations will erode the trust people have in such accusations in general, and especially from privileged people, and how this erosion ends up hurting actual victims. But you also see the Deep being thrown under the bus because he's bad publicity. Even though he was, in fact, guilty, they made no effort investigating it and definitely didn't care either way. And seeing how he is basically a big joke, who's brought on the Seven through affirmative action of sorts, never really respected by the higher-ups, and ultimately thrown away to have a shit life, you even end up feeling bad for him despite his acts early in the show.
I’m wondering if they can get Danielle Cormack on. Always wanted to see her in a superhero role. Lol She could play a wild and loose alcoholic Huntress type maybe?
mikehzz, when a Kiwi is successful, we claim them as one of our own. They become Aussies. And then the second they screw up we dump them. We're rather like Vought, in that sense. Also Homelander is my fav character, by far.
Kudos. Urban is always a Tier 1 actor. Thank you for giving him his props. He PROPERLY defined Dredd in the way Downey forever defined Ironman and Perlman defined Hellboy. . .or (dare I blaspheme?) Heston, Moses.
He was definitely a highlight...very menacing in his darker moments and the way he just switches from clean cut hero to evil complicated villain is some really good acting
Drinker I took your advice and sat down to watch the first episode. There are so many series on Amazon, Netflix, HULU and HBO that I have started and never made it past the second episode, some not even the first. So about four o’clock Saturday afternoon I got my beverage of choice and sat down to watch, thinking at an hour per each I had an hour to spare before doing my honey dos. Well eleven hours later (I had to break for food and a run to the package store) it’s the middle of the night and I finally finished all eight. I haven’t binge watched anything like that since I started GoT one week before the fifth season started. Your review gets ten stars for giving me the push to watch even though I didn’t expect it to be so good that I’d piss off a whole Saturday. 👍👍 two thumbs up!!
@@Spider-Too-Too I guess you are right in the sense, that such viewers wont appreciate the scientific accuracy with which the technologies - ships - space combat - biological limits of life in space etc. are incorporated into the storytelling, but at the same time the show even stripped off of all sci-fi elements has an awesome political, emotional and mysterious story going for it. The mere fact that it's able to tell the story of the whole solar systems while depicting small stories is fascinating... it's like a fresco of tiny plot twists and small-scale investigations which will eventually result in you having an overview of the whole picture.
@@michalrehacek3462 defi, tho, I got attracted to the expanse after watching some video on how expanse get physics right. Maybe some other viewers who will watch the show first and then they saw the video on expanses scientific accurate depictions of physics and appreciated the show even more
Definitely. You would start to disregard the laws as who can stop you from doing what youre doing? Youd probably even start to view other people as less than yourself. Wouldnt be the case for everyone, but I think it would be alot more than people would think. Everyone thinks they would be a good person with super powers, and the majority of the time they might be. But what happens when they get angry? Or something in politics pisses them off. They would start stopping on the ants.
@@JR-sx3gl Except more realistic because they use govenrment instead of private companies. Seriously, the show seems like it was co-authored by James Gunn and Bernie Sanders.
Karl Urban is (always) great but holy shit did Antony Starr flat out murder the role of Homelander. Much like me seeing Dan Stevens in "The Guest" I have completely become a fan of Starr and hope he goes places.
Urban and Starr are acting titans in this show, and do wonders for it as a result, you dont want just one guy with all the presence and charisma as it can lead to dull periods in the show inbetween scenes, the variety of themes and influences in The Boys is what blows me away, horror, action, comedy, romance, espionage, psychological thriller intrigues, this show blends it all up and never lets you get bored.
I know what you mean. It has this gritty, disillusioned, dark take. I don't know yet which I prefer. (obviously we're talking The Boys vs Watchmen the film)
Karl Urban is a guarantee. Whether in "the boys" or "Dredd" he always delivers. I loved him in both. I honestly believe his Dredd is the ultimate comic book portrayal. He put a lot of effort into looking the part, he moves, talks and even feels like Dredd. Ps anybody who liked the series should give the comic book a shot, it's glorious. Dark, beyond f*cked up, but glorious
I loved Banshee but I thought Antony Starr’s acting abilities were somewhat limited in that show. But, holy shit he steals every scene he’s in on The Boys. That Captain Marvel part had me 😂😂😂😂💀
I love the critical drinker, getting a video from him always makes my day. This was one superb show and this alone is worth the subscription to amazon prime. Yeah, a bit preachy but I can let that go as long as it isn’t rammed down my throat, Unlike a certain young lady with her celebrity mishap...
Just started Season 3 ...holy shit ...not for the weak stomach ...this show just keeps getting better and better. ..in Season 2 and 3 you can really appreciate the brilliance in Homelanders and Butcher's acting.
Nah, I disagree. Season one was really good, season two merited a couple of skips already, season 3 made me skip most of some episodes. Plus they destroyed much of the depth from characters.
Its the best way to go into ANY show or movie... I think i enjoy watching movies more than others BECAUSE i dont watch any spoilers (including trailers [the WORST spoilers]) People pick apart movies, and theres still half a year left to release, then are bummed because THEY'VE ALREADY SEEN ALL THE BEST PARTS!!
@@themudbloodjedi8390 How do you know what to go into though if you block everything out? I agree almost entirely, so how do you choose? I use things like recommendations pro and con on message boards and stars on IMDB and streaming sites and prefer Ebert and Roper Spoiler free reviews to help me. Ads and Trailers I save for AFTER viewing. But what about you?
@@randomthoughts2607 How did you know it was a super hero show? I found out by youtubers raving about it. I thought it was new version of Lost Boys until then.
This show is amazing. Homelander has to be one of the best villains/heroes I have seen in a long time. The character is fascinating. This guy is scarier than the Joker.
For me it's A-Train. At first it was just because he was a comically smug, arrogant prick but I genuinely grew to like him as a man who's made insidious, horrible mistakes and has been trying to redeem himself after his brother ousts him and he feels just a fraction of the pain his actions have caused to so many others.
It's based on a comic series that is already finished and is quite good. I thought the sex went over the top in the comic but other than that its a great series with a good and surprising ending.
If memory serves the producers have joked that Amazon threw so much money at them after the first season that they'd need at least 2 more seasons for Amazon to get their money's worth.
The Boys is a masterpiece, a lot of comments here describe my own experience perfectly. I almost never find shows that are good enough binge watch, but this was the rare exception. Superb acting, great writing, and just incredibly fun and interesting is this series.
It sucks we have to wait for a season 2. The best part of Strangers Things S1 was it finished, the worst part of 2 is not only did not finish, S3 ignored the questions set up by 2. No, a season should have an ending. It's all Star Trek the Next Generation's fault. That was the show the invented the season ending cliff hanger ... straight up , to get renewed for a further season. So many shows have copied that and not come back screwing the audience over entirely. Or, as Stranger Things did, come back and pretend none of it happened anyway!
@@TheRadioAteMyTV yeah but it was okay for TNG to do that because, as it says at the start it has a CONTINUING MISSION. Stranger Things S1 was a fully developed story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. So no, I don't blame Picardakirk for Stranger Things.
@@darthkek1953 It was also OK, because they had a follow up story that truly connected and more importantly, they went where no show had gone before by doing it. All the copy cats can't make the same claims.

Yes, and a show, oddly enough, about social justice at times. Not sure if you picked up on it, but there deep "themes" (I'm allowed to use that term around here, right?) about class politics interwoven into the very foundations of the plot here. It wouldn't be Garth Ennis if there weren't.
@@steve_ire321 There was some interesting scene with a duo that tried to peddle the usual "strong wahmen" bs to convince Starlight to wear outfit v2. Oddly resembled corporate "totally genuine wokeness" and what twitter "male allies" spew in-between trying to land on a list of sexual predators.
You know Drinker loves a show when he cares enough with to call the actors by their real names, and not by their character's names or Even by their " popular" names, like when he was calling Dark Phoenix Sansa. That was hilarious.
I'm so fucking sick of superhero movies and T.V. shows. I love the Rick and Morty episode where they parodied The Avengers. And yeah The Boys was just a giant, heaping shit on Marvel and DC and I fucking loved it. Superheroes aren't gods. They're humans with some cool abilities. I love how The Boys shows the sickness and depravity inherent in anyone of power, including so-called "superheroes." No one is above corruption. All of the members of The Seven are just a bunch of fucking sociopaths (except maybe, MAYBE Starlight, but we'll see how far she falls in season 2). I can't wait for season 2.
Except for the massive changes in the Frenchman's personality, I agree. They kept the themes, but tweaked all the right things for the actors and the medium.
@@obsidian00 I think it's just right for this medium, you can't really go any farther here. I like the casting and am glued to the set whenever she's on. I prefer the comic, but I'm not complaining one bit!
@@obsidian00 I don't think they toned her down. I actually like what they did with her. Going through some of the comic I really like how they tried to bring in many, many elements - sometimes in a different order, but they're really aiming for the spirit of the thing. It's a shame being in 2019 you can't really have done the 9/11 scene without making the whole series take place like 15 years ago. It really worked being 9/11 in the comic but I agree with them changing it as a necessary change.
@@tunnar79 But I know who Count Dankula is, that terrible nazi who abused his dog to teach him tricks to pay homage to his favourite mass murderer. It's just that I don't understand why Sample Text user said "it's count dankula on youtube, everybody should subscribe", Critikal Drinker isn't nazi ergo, he cannot be Count Dankula.
Tbh Drinker the social commentary in ep 5 is perfectly valid. People like that exist in real life. This is show is real asf and doesn’t want to pander and I love it for it
OH BOY *smashes mirror* I JUST KNOW *walks under a ladder* THAT SERIES TWO *black cat crosses path anti-clockwise* WILL BE JUST *crow lands on the edge of the bed* AS GOOD AS *lightning strikes on Friday 13th* THE FIRST!
Her final scenes were soo good i was hoping she'd survive into next season, the ceo you love to hate, who was the last barrier preventing the monster Homelander from becoming a world ending threat, even giving up her body to him willingly when she ran out of ideas and options. She was brilliant when i rewatched season 1, an unlikely hero in every respect, and she was raising a kid the whole time. Very impressive, not even the main ceo hispanic actor guy in season 2 who's world famous now for his great villain performances was able to surpass her efforts.
Herogasm will live forever as the greatest TV episode of any show. The scene introducing Termite, and the whale scene push this whole show into legendary status.
Almost Human was a bit average, nowhere near as good as Altered Carbon. The Expanse is decent, but unfortunately drops the ball in a big way whenever it wanders from the source material - kinda like Game of Thrones.
Antony Starr is awesome as Homelander, it is incredible watching him pass from baby face to plain scary psycho in a beat. Loved this series, on top of my favorite super heroes media.
season 1 of the arrow was awesome. then it went woke. Worst decision was turning him from a killer of bad guys, to leaving mass murderers alive.... such huge shit.

Incorrect. Urban himself said it was one of the most demanding roles he's ever taken from a physical and acting point of view. Did most of all his own stunts. Every shot of Dredd on the back of the Lawmaster was all him. Alex Garland said that Urban actively edited the script as he went along because he understood more than most what the character was supposed to be; redacting lines of dialogue because he knew Dredd said less. His mannerisms, body language, speech pattern and tone were all spot on, and for Urban's own admittance, was very challenging given that he had to cover his eyes for the entire thing, and for an actor to do that and still convey a sense of character is hard to do. He was amazing in that role.
true
He is also actively campaigning to get a sequel made. He truly loves the character of Dredd! I respect his dedication.
True.
Urban was brilliant as Dredd. Great guy.
dredd is under rated .
That's not very inclusive, sir. We now say "The People"

I love that there is a female member of The Boys by the end of the series. Take that Leftists.
Drinker really needs a follow-up series called The Drinker No Longer Recommends.
He has been conspicuously quiet on The Boys since season 3 came out.
I was thinking the same thing. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Season 3 is a turd.
Karl Urban is from New Zealand, Antony Starr(Homelander) is also a kiwi.Great review Drinker.
No wonder. I always thought Urban didn't seem egotistical enough to be an Aussie.

@@DirkusTurkess He's Australian
It's so weird to see Simon Pegg play the ''dad'' character.
Hughie in the comic was aesthetically based on Pegg, he would have taken the role himself but said he was too old for it to believable. Too bad he wasn't still Scottish, that's sort of an important part of a bunch of stuff later in the comic.
@@derekzbylut7064 I dont think it'll matter too much. Just the highland laddie story arc that'll be missed.
Jack Quaid looks way to old to be his son but just looked up the ages of both of them... damn. I think not only does Simon look good for 50 but Jack looks like he's in his 30s so it's a bit weird that they are supposed to be father and son.

Here after the Drinker's latest video disowning this show. 8:20 is a great example of the sprouting of a weed that has now overrun the entire garden, growing and invading and choking out every other plant native-born to good storytelling.
"She's no spice girl" one of my favourite lines in the show
The entire Spice Girl speech was gold.
It's even called the boys. Shouldn't that name alone offend some angry purple haired people?
They don't watch anything beyond their safe zone.
@Foul Gerbil How so?
Season 2 is about the boys getting their asses kicked and taken over by a girl group
@Foul Gerbil it's really aimed at people who are critical of both woke and conservative culture (i.e. most of us)
@Jim Johnson that is the only way they can stay relevant in fights, so yeah. But most of others are not complete assholes, and we are shown why they are doing bad stuff. Also the Boys themselves are... cough... boys with one notable exception. And I basically started this comment with narrative reason for that.
Just like recent Joker, this show is fairly straight mirror of modern society. Exaggerated at places, but not too much. And people as usual overreact on what hurts their butts the most at the moment.
I have over 2000 horror movies in my collection. None of them have terrified me as much as Homelander. Bravo.
How long until the Vice and Vox writers start petitioning that The Boys should be renamed The Boys Who Became Girls?
Exactly, As soon as this series secures a solid following/fan base,...they'll turn it into propaganda bullshit. It's a rather well established pattern at this point. Then of course, it will be the 'fans fault' when it fails somewhere between seasons 3 and 5. Like clockwork.
Well, one of them’s caught up trying to turn people off of Dave Chappelle, so they might be delayed a week or two, but then I’m guessing they’ll be on top of this like a drunk guy on a mechanical bull.
Thumper Gently- They are already gender swapping Stormfront(male character to female) for Season 2.😒
ravenzyblack they already gender-swapped Mallory and Stilwell. A-Train is white in the comics. Hughie is Scottish. So...who gives af. Show wasn’t affected at all. They’ve strayed far away from the original material and still have produced a refreshing, overall good show.
Hilarious seeing these snowflake comments.
Good grief.....
The real unspoken villain in this series is Becca. Without lifting a finger she drove Butcher to the brink and blinding madness.
So fucking true.
Becca's a *BITCH*
...Becca was a rape victim. That she didn't actually kill herself speaks volumes of her strength of character. And from that glimpse, we saw that she lovingly raised her son. And how do we know that she isn't a prisoner of Vaught, you think she'd leave her son to them or they'd let her walk away with Homelander 2.0?
Did Hugh love Robin less than Butcher did Becca? If not, why did Hughie move on, and Butcher never let it go?
@@johnquentines1842is she actually though? It doesn't make it clear. Could've just been the CIA lass using the cctv to manipulate Butcher as it's noted that she's done a fair bit.
@@marc2k3331 When Becca came out of the office she was disheveled and that's why I think she was raped. If they were having an affair she at least would have gone to great lenghts to keep it a secret.
Mallory, yeah she is suspicious. She twisted facts to fit her narrative. We'll definitely know when season 2 airs.
The Deep/Starlight incident was played rather well I think. Great parallel to the real world. You have the asshole abusing his position of power, which puts him on your shit list right away. You later see Starlight coming under fire in comment sections, which shows how false accusations will erode the trust people have in such accusations in general, and especially from privileged people, and how this erosion ends up hurting actual victims.
But you also see the Deep being thrown under the bus because he's bad publicity. Even though he was, in fact, guilty, they made no effort investigating it and definitely didn't care either way. And seeing how he is basically a big joke, who's brought on the Seven through affirmative action of sorts, never really respected by the higher-ups, and ultimately thrown away to have a shit life, you even end up feeling bad for him despite his acts early in the show.
He’s really well written and Chace Crawford is great
Glad to see Antony Starr getting praise for his Homelander role I thought he did a great job in Banshee as well, sadly no one saw that...
Banshee was top notch, everyone go watch it.
I saw that. I did.
Anthony Starr as superman was all I had to hear to be on board.
@@michaeldragicevich820 banshee is the most gritty and beautiful series out there and should be included in school curriculum
Omg I didn't even realize that was him in Banshee. I binged that show a few years ago.
loved this show and banshee . great acting and writing in both
So Karl Urban and Antony Starr are both Kiwis... Go New Zealand!!
I’m wondering if they can get Danielle Cormack on. Always wanted to see her in a superhero role. Lol She could play a wild and loose alcoholic Huntress type maybe?
@David Parry What the fuck are you even talking about?
@David Parry ????????????????????????????????
mikehzz, when a Kiwi is successful, we claim them as one of our own. They become Aussies. And then the second they screw up we dump them.
We're rather like Vought, in that sense.
Also Homelander is my fav character, by far.
I loved how many people complemented Carl Urban on his accent throughout season one, it was an ongoing joke.
Can you do a review on a show called The Boys on Amazon prime please?
I'd be shocked if that ever happens.....
Nah mate fresh out
I should create a new email for the free bit of Prime.
Shit, wrong comment.
Comments like this on this guy's video's made me watch it so who knows? Maybe he will To?
Homelander is hands down the best villain on TV.. The Plane Hijack seen was award worthy 😂✈️
He did a great job playing him.
That scene was messed up, but it really let you see how twisted Homelander is. It was great.
"Stay back. All of you, stay back. You stay the f**k back or I'll laser you, goddamn it! I will laser every f**king one of you!"
And the scene right after, with him saying how it's a shame he wasn't there...
Best scene hands down.
So are you gonna do a video on how season 3 has gone full PC activist mode?
Karl Urban Legend
You called Karl Urban a legend..? I definitely approve.
Kudos. Urban is always a Tier 1 actor. Thank you for giving him his props. He PROPERLY defined Dredd in the way Downey forever defined Ironman and Perlman defined Hellboy. . .or (dare I blaspheme?) Heston, Moses.
The dolphin crash scene was the funniest thing I've seen in ages lol cant wait for season 2 oh god plz make season 2
fucking pissed myself laughing when he crashed with that dolphin
Best superhero stuff you can watch. Period.
The homelander actor is amazing!
Doom Patrol sends regards!
He was definitely a highlight...very menacing in his darker moments and the way he just switches from clean cut hero to evil complicated villain is some really good acting
#AnthonyStarr!!! #Banshee
@@petew.7870 Banshee was fantastic
Logan was really good too.
Urban was excellent in Dredd though... just sayin'
And Lord of the Ring.
He's good in just about everything he does.
I love that movie and will stan every time it comes up
Homelander preaching to the churchies and then hovering out over the crowd thinking he's a literal god gets me every time.
He'll always be Dredd. He just took off the helmet and took to drinking xD

Drinker I took your advice and sat down to watch the first episode. There are so many series on Amazon, Netflix, HULU and HBO that I have started and never made it past the second episode, some not even the first. So about four o’clock Saturday afternoon I got my beverage of choice and sat down to watch, thinking at an hour per each I had an hour to spare before doing my honey dos. Well eleven hours later (I had to break for food and a run to the package store) it’s the middle of the night and I finally finished all eight. I haven’t binge watched anything like that since I started GoT one week before the fifth season started. Your review gets ten stars for giving me the push to watch even though I didn’t expect it to be so good that I’d piss off a whole Saturday. 👍👍 two thumbs up!!
"I got my beverage of choice".
*The Drinker approves.*
Bro, respectfully, you are not giving shows a fair chance if you don't even finish the first episode.
While you've got Prime you should really check out "The Expanse"
hardcore scifi aint for everyone
Just finished Season 4 myself. God that show is good.
@@Spider-Too-Too I guess you are right in the sense, that such viewers wont appreciate the scientific accuracy with which the technologies - ships - space combat - biological limits of life in space etc. are incorporated into the storytelling, but at the same time the show even stripped off of all sci-fi elements has an awesome political, emotional and mysterious story going for it. The mere fact that it's able to tell the story of the whole solar systems while depicting small stories is fascinating... it's like a fresco of tiny plot twists and small-scale investigations which will eventually result in you having an overview of the whole picture.
@@michalrehacek3462 defi, tho, I got attracted to the expanse after watching some video on how expanse get physics right.
Maybe some other viewers who will watch the show first and then they saw the video on expanses scientific accurate depictions of physics and appreciated the show even more
He has watched expanse. And i watched v it years ago. It's awesome
Zack Snyder: "I'll have the darkest superheroes ever!"

There was only one black guy...
But when Snyder says that he means the attire they wear not the actual character.
If people had superpowers in teal life, this is how they would act
Sad, but entirely correct. Power corrupts.
Definitely. You would start to disregard the laws as who can stop you from doing what youre doing? Youd probably even start to view other people as less than yourself. Wouldnt be the case for everyone, but I think it would be alot more than people would think. Everyone thinks they would be a good person with super powers, and the majority of the time they might be. But what happens when they get angry? Or something in politics pisses them off. They would start stopping on the ants.
I know I'm bringing the topic a lower level, but that's what the Avengers would become if Cap signed the Accords.
@@JR-sx3gl Except more realistic because they use govenrment instead of private companies. Seriously, the show seems like it was co-authored by James Gunn and Bernie Sanders.
No if bad people had superpowers. Even in this show there are good superheroes like queen Maeve and starlight.
I watched 45 seconds of this video then smashed the first season. Drinker recommends? I'm sure as hell watching
Karl Urban is (always) great but holy shit did Antony Starr flat out murder the role of Homelander. Much like me seeing Dan Stevens in "The Guest" I have completely become a fan of Starr and hope he goes places.
Dan Stevens is unbelivable in that movie. No remorse whatsoever.
Urban and Starr are acting titans in this show, and do wonders for it as a result, you dont want just one guy with all the presence and charisma as it can lead to dull periods in the show inbetween scenes, the variety of themes and influences in The Boys is what blows me away, horror, action, comedy, romance, espionage, psychological thriller intrigues, this show blends it all up and never lets you get bored.
When you realize Karl Urban is Eomer from LoTR!!! And also Skurge from Thor Ragnarok!!! He looks SO different in all of his roles!!!
#Rohirrim
He also played Bones/McCoy in the Star Trek reboot.
And Julius Caesar on Xena!
And Cupid in Hercules The Legendary Journeys
He was Judge Dredd too (2012 reboot)
Now you must make a video "The Drinker Recommends... ignoring the past recommendation" after this 4th season.
He did
Loved the series. It's more like Watchmen than the shit HBO done
I know what you mean. It has this gritty, disillusioned, dark take. I don't know yet which I prefer. (obviously we're talking The Boys vs Watchmen the film)
@CockYaLegS you mean watchmen right?
HBO's Watchmen is good, don't yell at me
@@luiginastro8831 your taste is bad, its woke trash spitting on the creators original work.
@@Vihara2 ugh
Karl Urban is a guarantee. Whether in "the boys" or "Dredd" he always delivers. I loved him in both. I honestly believe his Dredd is the ultimate comic book portrayal. He put a lot of effort into looking the part, he moves, talks and even feels like Dredd.
Ps anybody who liked the series should give the comic book a shot, it's glorious. Dark, beyond f*cked up, but glorious
I second that. I loved Dredd. and kudos to Urban for insisting his helmet stayed On! "It's about the character, not about my face"
Soldier Boy is the greatest superhero of all time.
I loved Banshee but I thought Antony Starr’s acting abilities were somewhat limited in that show. But, holy shit he steals every scene he’s in on The Boys. That Captain Marvel part had me 😂😂😂😂💀
I love the critical drinker, getting a video from him always makes my day. This was one superb show and this alone is worth the subscription to amazon prime. Yeah, a bit preachy but I can let that go as long as it isn’t rammed down my throat, Unlike a certain young lady with her celebrity mishap...
Just started Season 3 ...holy shit ...not for the weak stomach ...this show just keeps getting better and better. ..in Season 2 and 3 you can really appreciate the brilliance in Homelanders and Butcher's acting.
oh shit season 3 is out?!?! ok im out!
Nah, I disagree. Season one was really good, season two merited a couple of skips already, season 3 made me skip most of some episodes. Plus they destroyed much of the depth from characters.
Very glad I went into this show completely blind it was awesome!
Because the title gave you NOTHING to work with. Worst title for a show EVER!
Its the best way to go into ANY show or movie... I think i enjoy watching movies more than others BECAUSE i dont watch any spoilers (including trailers [the WORST spoilers])

Really struggling to choose a favorite, but the deep definetely got the most laughs out of me.
He is patheticness personified in just the best way.
For me it's A-Train. At first it was just because he was a comically smug, arrogant prick but I genuinely grew to like him as a man who's made insidious, horrible mistakes and has been trying to redeem himself after his brother ousts him and he feels just a fraction of the pain his actions have caused to so many others.

Just.. 2 more seasons, then kill it without warning, so we don't get the horrid disaster ending that was GOT.

Now Im not sure if I should go away now or not..been sitting here for 3 hours.
Great show, loved it and can't wait for season 2
It sucks we have to wait for a season 2. The best part of Strangers Things S1 was it finished, the worst part of 2 is not only did not finish, S3 ignored the questions set up by 2. No, a season should have an ending. It's all Star Trek the Next Generation's fault. That was the show the invented the season ending cliff hanger ... straight up , to get renewed for a further season. So many shows have copied that and not come back screwing the audience over entirely. Or, as Stranger Things did, come back and pretend none of it happened anyway!
@@TheRadioAteMyTV yeah but it was okay for TNG to do that because, as it says at the start it has a CONTINUING MISSION. Stranger Things S1 was a fully developed story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. So no, I don't blame Picardakirk for Stranger Things.
@@darthkek1953 It was also OK, because they had a follow up story that truly connected and more importantly, they went where no show had gone before by doing it. All the copy cats can't make the same claims.
Karl urban is a New Zealander
So is Antony Starr
Yeah but his accent is all over the place in this. Although not quite as bad as Russel Crowe in Robin Hood.
Yes, but he's supposed to be playing an Englishman.
A bright star in the void of SJW darkness. Great show.
Oh, there's still plenty of SJW anti-corporation, anti-Christian themes. Anyhoo, it is still a very good show and I would highly recommend it...

Still a good show though.
Yes, and a show, oddly enough, about social justice at times. Not sure if you picked up on it, but there deep "themes" (I'm allowed to use that term around here, right?) about class politics interwoven into the very foundations of the plot here. It wouldn't be Garth Ennis if there weren't.
@@jamesblack893 *sigh* SMH

Cutting to Brie the second you said “assholes”. Literally made me spit my water out 😂😂. You got a new fan
You know Drinker loves a show when he cares enough with to call the actors by their real names, and not by their character's names or Even by their " popular" names, like when he was calling Dark Phoenix Sansa. That was hilarious.

I'm so fucking sick of superhero movies and T.V. shows. I love the Rick and Morty episode where they parodied The Avengers. And yeah The Boys was just a giant, heaping shit on Marvel and DC and I fucking loved it. Superheroes aren't gods. They're humans with some cool abilities. I love how The Boys shows the sickness and depravity inherent in anyone of power, including so-called "superheroes." No one is above corruption. All of the members of The Seven are just a bunch of fucking sociopaths (except maybe, MAYBE Starlight, but we'll see how far she falls in season 2). I can't wait for season 2.
Liked Karl Urban in Chronicles of Riddick. That was a good film.
Go see him in "Red" , he kicks ass there as well, and it`s a great movie to watch.
Karl Urban is awesome in everything, even Shortland Street (so I'm told).

The dolphin scene is utter genus!
I am rather pleased about how much AMAZON kept in from the comics...I mean, they couldn’t keep everything in but it felt like they tried.
Except for the massive changes in the Frenchman's personality, I agree. They kept the themes, but tweaked all the right things for the actors and the medium.
Rick D Do you think they toned down the female too much or just right?!
@@obsidian00 I think it's just right for this medium, you can't really go any farther here. I like the casting and am glued to the set whenever she's on. I prefer the comic, but I'm not complaining one bit!

@@obsidian00 I don't think they toned her down. I actually like what they did with her. Going through some of the comic I really like how they tried to bring in many, many elements - sometimes in a different order, but they're really aiming for the spirit of the thing. It's a shame being in 2019 you can't really have done the 9/11 scene without making the whole series take place like 15 years ago. It really worked being 9/11 in the comic but I agree with them changing it as a necessary change.
i got a feeling Drinker will be rebuking the Boys Season 2 lol
That's a shame because Season 3 is better than both of them.
By the way, Ezekiel's orientation is relevant to the plot. That's how you introduce gay character without said character's orientation feeling forced.
And also a great way to misrepresent Christianity, again. But on your point you are totally correct.

Herogasm will live forever as the greatest TV episode of any show. The scene introducing Termite, and the whale scene push this whole show into legendary status.
I love The Boys, but I don’t think Herogasm is better than Ozymandias from Breaking Bad, or the last two episodes from season 3 of Attack On Titan.
It won’t. But it is great.
I’m still mad they canceled Almost Human with Karl, and Michael Ealey as a ‘synthetic.’

Almost Human was a bit average, nowhere near as good as Altered Carbon. The Expanse is decent, but unfortunately drops the ball in a big way whenever it wanders from the source material - kinda like Game of Thrones.
Antony Starr is awesome as Homelander, it is incredible watching him pass from baby face to plain scary psycho in a beat. Loved this series, on top of my favorite super heroes media.
Alas season 2 was... an unfortunate accident in slow motion.
Butcher reminds me of Manu Bennet as Slade Wilson in Arrow back when the show was good.
