What is especially interesting is that Victoria is one of the only people who isn't intimidated by Homelander. Instead of getting frustrated by that fact, it makes him respect her more, which means that he actually puts effort into trying to persuade her. He correctly guesses that Victoria has the same kind of superiority complex he does, which is why he appeals to her as a fellow supe. Every time Homelander and Victoria interact, you can see him bringing her closer and closer to his viewpoint.
Sage wasn't realizing that Homelander was just as good as her, she was surprised that he was going off script. As Vickie points out, the army will turn on her if she outs herself. She gains nothing by outing herself and threatens everything. Homelander only thinks he's on Sage's level.
@@dmi6101 He's above her now. Much like how Episode 1 begins with Homelander begging her to come on because he's bored of being superior to everyone else. She labotomizes herself at the end of this episode because being above all the simpletons bored her to. Because at the end of the day. We all just want to hang out and smoke weed and fill our bellies with DIET soda while we watch Michael Bay's Transformers 2.
@@spooderderg4077 He was above her for the few hours that she sticks a needle in her brain. This The Boys, no way is Sage depowered for long ;) Her big brain will be back into shape soon enough.
His interactions with Victoria show just how charismatic and persuasive Homelander can be when he puts his mind to it. He respects the way that Vic isn't afraid of him, and quickly realizes that she actually has a lot in common with him. Like Homelander, Victoria's whole personality has been formed by how monstrously powerful she is. Like Homelander she had a traumatic childhood and a toxic relationship with an adoptive parent (Vogelbaum and Edgar respectively) that cared for them on some level, but ultimately saw them as a tool. And now, like Homelander, Victoria's actions are simultaneously dictated by her craving for ever more power, *and* some kind of reason to justify that instinctive urge to dominate. Homelander offers her an easy answer: shared membership in a natural elite, who have to stand with each other against the treacherous, inferior masses who want to destroy them out of jealousy. The brilliant part is that Homelander uses the language of the progressive political movement that Victoria has spent most of her adult life working in. He frames supes as being a persecuted class, invokes the notion of internalized bigotry by saying Edgar brainwashed Vic into hating herself, and uses terms like "in the closet" to plant the idea that Vic has a duty to her community to be proud of who she is. And, of course, Homelander quickly deduces that Victoria cares a lot for her daughter, and makes common ground with her on that. The only two people that Homelander is ever really effective at persuading (instead of bullying) are Ryan and Victoria. It goes to show that the reason he acts like a sociopathic bully to most people isn't because he can't be persuasive, he just doesn't see any need to with people who aren't worth the effort.
@@yurp7903 Whether or not she could take him (she probably couldn't), with Stormfront and Soldier Boy out of the picture, Victoria is pretty much the only remaining supe in the world who is even in Homelander's league in terms of power. Her power PROBABLY wouldn't work on Homelander, at least, not fast enough to stop him from killing her first. But Homelander probably doesn't want to test that theory, either. Even if somebody only had a 5% chance of successfully blowing up your head if you picked a fight with them, would you want to?

They really want to hammer home that the superheroes in this show especially the 7 are right wing totalitarians! Really layering it on thick there with the metaphors for "right wing extremism lol considering who is front running this show, yeah checks out.
You must not have read the comics, because that's the whole vibe. Right wing totalitarians have always had massive egos and felt their way is the only way anyone needs. Also, taking over your government by force is a right wing tactic that is still used although not as successfully.

The parents outraged by Kritikal Ree theory is being made morally comparable to the evil supes outrage at critical supe theory. In other words its a jab at parents who dont agree with Kritikal Ree theory.
@@austinryanpetersen7205it’s not comparable. The writers for the show aren’t as brilliant as they say that they are. Superheroes in the Boys are Murdering Assholes, who could care less about saving people next to their celebrity status. Comparing people who got superpowers from a drug to racism is offensive and logically inconsistent as it gets. The Vought Corporation regularly lies about the origins of people with super powers, including Homelander, whom they lie about him being an Alien when he’s literally just someone who has been given the drug known as Compound V from the time he was a fetus. I couldn’t mock the poor attempts at satire in this show more than now
I can’t be the only one who feels this season kind of sucks. I know they have only released 3 episodes but like it feels nothing like the first three seasons and all the forced political shit and gay orgies isn’t rlly something I wanna watch in a superhero show
I love the irony of not realizing you're the one being made fun of, and now that you realize, you think the show isn't as good. The political tones have always been there and they satirize both sides, but a particular bunch of babies don't like it when the satire is about them. Also just read the comic, because the gay orgies are nothing compared to some stuff in that.
I feel like there was a very heavy political shift after the second season. For the first two, they were very intent on poking at both sides and referencing corruption/fear tactics/demographic appeal in general. The first episode even mentions that congress is stacked on both sides in favor of supers. Watching the third season felt weird because the ideas changed from, "People in power bad" to "Right wing people are violent and racist and America/white people are bad." Which just felt nasty to watch and listen to. The sad part is that there are still so many good parts about the show, the character writing has always been extremely strong and still is. I think a lot of the heart of the show was scarified in order to be more edgy and to make fun of people the writers don't like.

I think a lot of the heart of the show was scarified in order to be more edgy and to make fun of people the writers don't like.
@@jonahkluger6136 are those things not true? Look at your party and honestly tell me those things aren't present. Neumann, or however you spell her name, is clearly left wing to some degree. She is a snake in every sense of the way. The parody that comes out making fun of Trumpers just doesn't have any comparison. In an ideal world, parody like this would be an opportunity for self reflection, but we must continue to put our heads in the ground and ignore the reality of the MAGA clown world.
