there is no superhero in the show, they're all a bunch of dicks they don't do any hero stuff, well how realisticly people with superpowers should be, so you can just say one of the best shows
I actually love The Seven, for how corrupted they are, its realistic. Human's true desires. Since they are all born super with v compound, they still have some humanity I thought i was gonna hate Homelander, but i end up relating to him. The character is loveable
Karl Urban and Anthony Starr were amazing. Urbans best performance for sure. But Starr...wow, really. His performance was amazing...The hardest thing in acting, is play a villain, and he nailed it. I was literally scared of him..
Andrus Oras agreed! Anthony Starr really gave off that glad handing personality as The Homelander but you could feel the darkness in the character and that takes a very gifted actor to pull off. Best example was when he and Queen Maeve took out that sniper. When he started saying “That’s it, it’s going to be alright.” The hairs on the back of my neck stood up! So Evil!
The moment when he knew that the people on the plane weren't going to survive and he stopped putting on airs and just flipped out at them literally threatening them, chilling scene.
Anthony Starr is legitimately terrifying as Homelander. All of cast are good, imo . E.g., I love Elizabeth Shue in this. Urban is good, but his accent is not great and this was not his best performance. He was amazing, in every way, as Dredd.
padmelotus *Antony Starr and Karl Urban were the best things about the show! I genuinely enjoyed every scene they were in. Made me wish there were more content Karl is in for me to see and now I even wish the same for Antony!
I felt like the plot was better developed in Umbrella Academy. This one was straight forward and predictable, I love this more just because of the super R rated content.
BAAM 25th yup agreed, I read the comics beforehand and the main plot seems generic but what I can tell you is that theres is a lot of upcoming twist in this show that the creator can make use of. Furthermore the character development and acting in this show is way better especially by Anthony starr(Homelander)
@@smolbs890 Yeah, I was hoping that they wouldn't pull any punches. I have seen some of the stuff in the comics and they really toned it down with the depravity.
When I watched the show, I felt like Homelander's face was familiar. Imagine my shock when I realized that Lucas Hood from Banshee aka Anthony Starr was playing him. He nailed Homelander's evil Superman side perfectly, I don't think anyone could've played him better.
Antony vs Homelander is such a stark contrast it’s crazy. He played that character amazingly well; seeing recommendations for Banshee, i’ll have to check it out
The entire cast is absolutely amazing. I love all the characters- but Homelander stole the show for me. The emotional range of wanting love, being a badass, and being a complete psychopath.
Seeing this 3 years later, and having just binged my way through all 3 seasons, I can say this has possibly been the most entertaining show I have ever watched. LOVED it. Anthony Starr as Homelander is just fantastic. I thought he was great in Banshee, and he topped that by a mile in this show. Karl Urban was fantastic too. They all were. Can't wait for season 4. And Kevin Smith looks fantastic, especially compared to his "Jay and Silent Bob" days. Keep going Kevin. We need you.
Its productions like "the boys" that REALLY make you appreciate the vision and corresponding choices that the casting department have and make. Imagine if a character like homelander was mis-cast. And im not saying that no other actor could have played him, but after seeing Anthony and the job he did with that role, i cant imagine anyone else in it now. That the type of character that cant be done wrong, or the show would be no where near as good. Bravo to this entire cast choice, and to the actors themselves. Absolutely incredible show. CANT WAIT for s4.
So happy for Antony Starr. He's such a great actor. I mean he convincingly played twins in Outrageous Fortunes for 6 seasons and I loved Van and often hated Jethro lol
Homelander being all nice is so unnerving but man its so nice knowing such a great show with great performances has not only a phenomenal cast but they are all pretty chill with each other.
Anthony Starr as Homelander is jaw droopingly great! In a show filled with great characters he really stole every moment he was on the screen and had some shocking moments.
@@viewmaster617 the netflix marvel universe was never really the MCU though. Plus they won't be making x-men movie's for at least 5 years and they will want someone to play wolverine for a long time so they'll go for someone younger.
@@viewmaster617 I like him but I would prefer that they this time try and make him more comic book accurate and cast a shorter actor. I don't think it's totally necessary but in the comics he has small guy syndrome and his aggression is him over compensating. Try and get an actor who is at least under 6ft
watched the whole season in 1 sitting.started watching with some boring and disgust but soon all went away and was watching and didn't even sleep the whole night.best superhero series ever.loved it.absolutely the best superhero show ever.cant wait to see the second season...
Karl Urban is the ultimate geek cred actor, he's Eromir from LoTR, Bones from Star Trek, Judge Freakin' Dreed. Even his lesser known roles are great, the Sci-Fi show Almost Human, he was a Bourne villain, and was in Doom. I'm probably forgetting some really great roles he has had such a great career, I always at least check it out if Karl Urban is attached to it.
Anthony Starr is so fucking great . i Enjoyed his show banshee and i loved it. To be honest i didnt recognize him until second episode.But he was just great ,especially in those commercial where he just change his expression 😂
So Antony Starr and Chace Crawford actually look so similar, and I'm not used to seeing Tony with blonde hair so until they introduced themselves I thought it was him sitting top left haha. So excited to see Karl and Antony working together, love them both! NZ represent :)
Anthony had to start wearing sunglasses because I guess he now knows himself that everybody is so scared of his goddamn eyes . I still avoided looking at him the whole video expecting a laser blast at any second . He was sooooo good as Homelander ,I hope he gets at least a nomination for his outstanding performance.
Karl urban is so underrated guy needs some more love
Nithin moviephile i know, Chronicles of Riddick was top notch. Lol jk. karl urban is great.
you are right. he was amazing in the show.
The guy is bad-ass in every role!
Love his accent in The Boys with great delivery
Him being cast as Wolverine would be all the love needed💯
Watched it, the best superhero show ever!
homelander is a great villain

Anthony Starr is the real MVP of the show. Loved loved his performance.
vamsiB13 You ain’t lying. After the first couple of episodes I had to check and see what else he’s been in, he steals the show for sure.

That plane crash
Movie Directors "did" UNTIL now, when he called them ass-holes in this show! 😁
he killed it he was so good
He was hilarious, "Lift the plane? what am I gonna stand on? air?"

This Show is Masterpiece! Both Homelander and Billy Butcher steal the shows!!, now Black Noir need more scene
Spoiler alert: Black noir is the main villan.
@@shashanka363 spoiler alert Black Noir is.....
I'm not doing that to ya
they couldn't go deeper into the Black Noir character since they need it as the surprise moment for the final season... well u asked.
Advocatus Diaboli they might switch it up
@@nhoodjazz yes that could be, could be that even one of the Boys could end up being involved in playing the double agent...
"I hope I'm not the asshole who ruins something I love..." *intense GoT flashbacks*
So true
The Homelander actor is spectacular.
Rest of the cast: I PLAY this or that.
Antony Starr: I AM Homelander!
Tomer Kapon really impressed me. Brilliant actor.
Erik Tiedgen yes!!
U should watch the show "when heroes fly", its an amazing award winning tv show and he is the main character.
This show makes umbrella academy look like a joke.. I hope the new watchmen is able to challenge the boys cos this show suprises me, fking awesome 💯

@xavier don to each their own, I personally believe you need at least a few side character developments.
Finished the show this weekend, easy 9 out of 10. Highly recommended. Cast and crew did an incredible job. Can't wait to see where S2 goes.
Especially because of the cliffhanger
yesitsmeguru yip S2 is going to have a crazy good & interesting set up 😎
AM Fitness I'd give it 7.5/10, writing is a little too often poor.
Vade Retro agree with you,
@@vaderetro264I like that it's not dragging... Like often tv show likes to drag things too long it lost me. I'm lost
Anybody who loved Anthony Starr in this show should also check out "Banshee", which is also a truly amazing show.
vLarsn one of the best action series and one of the most under rated
Antony starr is amazing
@@thePHreview Absolutely! I had to go back and rewatch it after I finished "The Boys"
Banshee is FUCKEN badass, brutal fight scenes. Awesome show.
@Zoran You should definitely check it out.
why isnt karl urban marvels new wolverine?
He certainly looks the part. I think they want to start with someone on the youngish side so they won't have to replace him so soon.
I think he could make a good Batman
Excellent choice!
garyyab He got killed off in Thor Ragnorak. They wouldn’t hire him as another marvel character in the same universe unfortunately.
@@c3m381 yeah, he was totally wasted in the MCU
Karl Urban's Judge Dredd it's f****** underrated that movie is awesome
Anthony and Karl Urban both New Zealanders, great job boys❤
Antony Starr is wearing those shades because his eyes are constantly glowing red
Anthony Starr is just so good in his part, that even seeing him here in a light-hearted interview is kinda terrifying.
I think it also has a lot to do with his face. It's really unique and uneasy for some reason.
Easily the best superhero show I've ever seen. Just awesome.
Cannot wait for season 2.
Anthony Starr killed it in Banshee and he was the highlight of The Boys hands down.
He's been my choice for Moon Knight since the first episode of Banshee.
Omg I was trying to place where I seen him before. 🤯
@@KyleS3m3noff there is a guy who said Sentry, and I absolutely agree omg
How is it possible that Starlight is even hotter IRL?
she is not hot. she is beautiful.
Jj W Smexy
The character is more conservative, the actress doesn't seem to be.
She caught my attention in the Mel Gibson movie Blood Father a couple years ago, she is yummy.
Luciano Pereira yeah she is really cute OMG
Starlight is stunning
She is.
No ass though
Yes
mantap rek best girl

When I watched the show, I felt like Homelander's face was familiar. Imagine my shock when I realized that Lucas Hood from Banshee aka Anthony Starr was playing him. He nailed Homelander's evil Superman side perfectly, I don't think anyone could've played him better.
Same here.
I got Amazon Prime just because of The Boys

Actually, just Evil Superman. He wasnt shown as a super fascist in the series. I mean, he apparently dont care anyone but himself.

Blown away by this series. For only 8 episodes... The pacing and story arch of the characters were awesome. I cannot wait for the second season!!
