Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name. - Фільми й анімація
"So what they're all starving but one of them's got a f*cking cell phone" destroys me every time.
You would not believe me if I told you there are people here on UA-cam who think and said the same thing homelander said about Africans and think that colonialism and genocide was beneficial for the entire Africa. The most ironic thing was that those homelander like people were Americans.
Edit: even after 2 weeks this comment is getting replied from triggered people.🤣
He has a Point 😅
@@anthonykoller4459 ok todd
people say the exact same thing about refugees..
he's got a better point than you realize.
(yeah I know tons of Africans have cellphones, but not usually the ones that claim they're starving or whatever)
1:22 Love how he says ‘ohhhh’ as if it was a tiny accident like leaving a light on overnight, rather than taking a human life lmfao
Makes sense bc he views himself as superior to normal people - "mud people"
It was barely human.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Your propile pic says you barely look human.

Bless, you’re trying your hardest.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Black haired barbaros wearing shades. Not exactly whitest and definitely not straightest
"So what they're all starving but one of them's got a fucking cell phone." Is such a clever line, they had to make Homelander say the SINGLE most asshole, sociopathic thing possible in reaction to being called out and it was an ingenious one liner. Writing villains like him is so much fun.
It's like someone hearing that a girl was assaulted, and them replying with "well maybe she shouldn't have dressed like that."
@@crona1794 Exactly, it's the LEAST human thing you could say in that situation and Homelander goes for the throat every time and Starr's delivery was on point. Guy should be winning every award for this role.
He’s got a point
@@nitroturbo7248 If you in any way relate to Homelander you've missed the entire point of the show. Also you should speak to somebody.
@@LucifersAngel-mu4mwyou can disagree with the person but like one of their ideas
Ashley's actress is SO underrated. Just how TANGIBLY she conveys absolute terror whenever she must deliver bad news...and Homelander gets mad at them. When HL glares at "9 and a half" she really is silently begging for her life then and there. Truly amazing performance!
So why not look up her name? That's Colby Minifie. Indeed she's super talented.
I think that's why he keeps her around. He equates fear with respect, and he can exercise power over her, in place of the corporate overlords under whose authority he chafes.
I love how shes so meek with homelander but is like GET THE FUCK OUT to her subordinates lmao
The way she begs Homelander to stay quiet until crisis team has actionable strategy.
She was on TWD too if I remember. She kidnapped Carol and Maggie.
The way he dramatically waves his arms signifying that the supe terrorist was not scary to him just made me laugh for some reason.
Heat vision is so fucking OP when it's as powerful as Superman's, or even Homelander's. He's right not to be scared of anyone, it's an instant death look.

That was the best part 😂😂😂
For some reason? It's supposed to be funny 😅
The show is a comedy bro
Even the darkest parts of the show have some great comedic timing from the actors 😅
It is strange to hear Homelander asking someone of something with a sincere "please"..... you know.. like a human....

He is human.

@@haihuynh8337 And that's exactly why Clark has no problems with his imense powers he just gotta be holding back badly so he wont punch off someone's head off when stopping criminals just like Homelander or punching so hard, that he rewrites realities. its insane to compare or to imagine the sheer power Superman holds and the literal infinite power and potential has.
Homelander is exactly why we all should be grateful super powers don’t exist in the real world.
This homelander is tame compared to that. Hell the comic version of noire is what the real world supers would be like.
Unless we get a Superman
@@Panther-Strife4724 the thing is no one believes in a good superman anymore, all they do is strawman the same 'power corrupts absolutely' trope that the thought of someone using his powers for good is a childish fantasy in a world of bad people, tending to forget that Good people exist it's just that the bad actions of few get more attention than the majority of good is swept out as average, and I'm just sick of these bad takes that an Evil Superman is 'realistic' when no it's a psychotic concept than any sane person wouldn't do because consequences, powerful or normal still happen.
I am him without super powers. Life is shit without super powers
@@mainakbasu9740 No youre not. If you were trust me you'd be a lot worse than him
That “Ohhh…” gets me every time. 😂
I like to think it took him a second to realize that the human’s life mattered since he only values humans to click a like button.
Looks like a reference to bully Maguire.
"Girls get it on."

Thanks to lesbians everywhere for making it so that I never have to watch p0rn with a guy in it!
Homelander's reaction to the video is genuinely hilarious. Only time I can recall this character making me laugh.
The only? Nah you're
Tripping
His panic attack and anxiety scenes are just as funny tbf.
Oh common! You're telling me Yummers didn't make you laugh?? I call bs.
@@deadforever99bro that scene scared the shit outta me. I thought I am gonna see A train cut in half.
Yeah and what about "Girls get it on!" lmao come on son, you lying, you know you laugh at more things he's done/said.
Stages of Homelander:
Season 1 = Deteriorating mental health sanity
Season 2 = Child abuse and violent thoughts
Season 3 = Death threats and anger issues
Season 4 = Worldwide domination

Love the “ooohhh” like he sent the wrong email or something and didn’t just take a human life 😂
"their all starving but one of thems gotta a cellphone" that was funny!!!! 😂😂😂😂
*they are
@@condor07usa They're*
You forgot the word fuck, which is the best part of the line.
He’s not wrong
It’s actually nice how he addresses Marty, presumably a random crewman, by name and with a “please”. He IS able to not be a douche to you, if you’re just minding your business and not threatening his ego😂
It’s just that so many things threaten his ego. Sometimes suddenly and out of nowhere. Must be because of how strong said ego is.
I love this series. I also love how as the series continues Homelander's true self starts to surface little by little
Just like modern celebs vs the older generations. With the advent of cellphones and internet we know things like Matthew Broderick killing two people in a car accident, or Victor Salva (director of Jeepers Creepers) soliciting oral from a minor. Compared to those like Jimmy Saville or Rolf Harris who kept their nastiness behind closed doors until the end of their life/career, and whose 'shifty' or 'shady' moments would be likely overlooked without the benefit of 2 million people watching the clip of those losing it on YT.
Homelanders actor Antony Starr needs an Emmy nomination for his performance as homelander
Ironically The Air Bender guy had more Balls than the Entirety of The Seven combined because He’s one of the only Few Supes who actually fought Homelander.
“Fought” is a strong word…
Dude used his powers before homelander got there and then got one shot, that's worse then the blind supe 😂
@@droid5785 Dude knew who was coming.
@@kgpspyguy He still stood his Ground and wasn’t scared shitless.
@@therealmr.incredible3179
I don’t know, I feel like this was more a case of some random dude committing an act of terror, then Homelander shows up and kills him in 1 second.
The delivery of “so what, they are all starving but one of them got a fucking cellphone” fucking kills me every time 😂😂
It’s crazy how Homelander says it, and everyone agrees it’s an “asshole thing to say”- yet when people say this in REAL life, they think they said something intelligent-sounding:
“How are you poor but have an iPhone!”🤪
“Sell your iPhone and buy food”🤪
@@BlackFlightNYlmao it does cost a lot just to keep a phone. You have to pay for a charger, phone bills, internet, electricity, etc. So the point still stands
@@BlackFlightNYI haven't seen anyone who has said that and not be heavily criticized. Cellphones are basically essential at this point
@@BlackFlightNY But heres a thing. There are tons of cheap smartphones and iPhones are definitely not on the list.
If you're poor and still bought an iPhone or galaxy s ultra or something then you're just being irresponsible.
@@jagermeister-3812 You lack information. Most people outside of the US in these kinds of places use pay-as-you-go types of plans when they need minutes, and use whatsapp + public wifi/internet cafe when they don't have minutes. Chargers are a one-time cost, and the electricity usage of a phone is minimal. What you gain from having a phone (access to family, resources, job searching, etc.) is far more valuable than the one month of groceries or 1/4 month's rent you'd get from selling a phone. (Further, most of the time it's a used or old phone to begin with, so it's not like selling it would do much anyways). In some ways, it's more expensive not to have a phone than it is to have a phone.
Your iPhone 15 Pro Max costs a lot, a 5-year old barebones Nokia does not. This is the same energy as the old Fox news article complaining about how people on food stamps own refrigerators.
Antony Starr nail's it every time he's on screen.
The video of him putting his hands up and saying "Oooooh!" followed by him watching the video saying "Ohhhhh" that sells it. What a terrific narcissist.
This is truly a GREAT actor. He sweats extreme evil........
I just noticed this- when the video begins 0:58 the supposed “super terrorist” watches and waits until the people run behind him, only attacks once everyone was behind him so that he could protect them from Homelander. He wasn’t attacking the people he was defending them!
I thought I was the only one who noticed! 😢
The boys established that Homelander sent a bunch of V to bad people around the world. I imagine this is probably some local warlord terrorizing a village for whatever reason. Homelander kills bad people all the time the issue is that he doesn't do it for some moral or ethical reason, but just to be popular.
@@Alan-wj5zcI mean, does he look like a warlord? He was dressed in casual attire, not even a single soldier/henchman in site. He was clearly just chilling.
@@abdulkarimelnaas7595in fairness, there's a weirdly high amount of African warlords who did that
@@abdulkarimelnaas7595 notice how nobody ran up to mourn the supe he killed. Dude was clearly terrorizing them.
at 0:26 you can see the golf cart behind homelander but then 5 seconds later ashley comes out of nowhere on the golfcart never noticed that mistake before
Blud thinks he’s cinemasins
Ashley is secretly a supe
@@IceBear-jb1ip cinemasins and wins are the fucking worst
Are we supposed to believe this is so kind of magic golf cart? Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder
Someone drove the first one the then Ashley came
"I'm here when you want me" - little did we know what that would mean between those two
She meant exactly "that".
I love the sarcastic terror flex he does before he blasts him.
1:11 I like the pose he makes before he flies up up and away.
I really like how his approach to address the situation is like every UA-cam apology, I just hope next season they have a ukulele apology
Anthony Starr does such a good job at this role. I mean I found myself hating him and scared for people talking to him haha. I love knowing he can pull both of those emotions.
He’s an asshole but I can’t hate him at all, dude’s too funny
My favorite part is when he says “I killed that a hole for them” when he is the one who gave that guy compound v to begin with
If anything, Homelander is the Prime example of why we, as a whole, should never turn to greed with powers. If he existed, we'd all be dead.
Homelander is a consequence of human evil. He is “god’s retribution”, in a way.
What do you expect if you do experiments on a child and deprive him of parents?
Then, when he is still weak at the age of 3-4, beat him down with other mature supes so that he learns how to fight back and be violent…
Keep him in solitary confinement until he is 12 or so.
Oh, and THEN, assign experienced mature female molester to manipulate him…
Sorry, but human psyche breaks after couple years of solitary confinement. Or torture, which he experienced (much like Soldier Boy, he felt pain, even though he is highly durable). Or 20 others messed up things that happened to him.
Homelander is the greatest victim of the series, and the fact he turned out somewhat socially functional (as opposed to a murderous, feral child like in Brightburn)…. Is a wonder, really.
Homelander must have head Superman-like level of compassion to stay sane after 5+ simultaneous abuses and crimes against humanity he was subjected to. And even that level of god-like tenacity was not….. enough. Nobody can psychologically recover from that level of damage.
That world can burn for what they did to him, for all I care. And him lashing out is just justice through vengeance.
If the world allows a monopolistic control on superpowers by a late-stage capitalist corrupt corporation, as well as child experimentation and “breaking” (like gaining elephants, but on infant supes)….
We as species don’t deserve to exist. We simply don’t.
That kind of world is not worth existing in.
To further clarify your point, Solider Boy illustrated your example much better than Homelander.
Homelander was messed up, but he got dealt the shittiest hand possible, and his turn to a monster is not his fault.
Soldier Boy chose to be a dick, a racist and an abuser. He is depiction of manageable psychological damage (toxic masculinity from his father’s side), resulting in power-trip when enabled.
He is charismatic, but really, he is fake and just a dick. Most people missed that due to being blinded with Homelander being a more obvious/potent evil, even though Soldier Boy is just as bad, if not more accountability-wise.
@@kingol4801 ''Soldier Boy chose to be a dick, a racist and an abuser.'' That's why we love him. Unfathomable based, redpilled, and utterly uncuckable.
Unless your overpowered yourself and rich to boot.
nah, he's way too tame. try something like the end of brightburn. a human mind with that kind of powers is just gonna go full psycho
Joss rewrite really sings 😂
Whats hilariously funny is in most cases of superhero movie battles. They make the case of "You cant save everyone" and "It's 10s of 100s of lives versus millions" but in this instant they have actual footage of Homelander carelessly killing, and expressing disgust before leaving, so they cant even play that card 😂
Hes simply the best villan ever
Yeah he's super evil but I just cant hate him 😂
1:02 Best moment.
Sarcastic OOHH
*Girls get it onnn*
Uh, girls get it done sir 😰
They sure do😏
Who all thought this was a clip from season 4 of the boys during the murder trial
A little part of me was like *OH FUCK*
But… should have known better.
Yea, talking about blue balls
It is kinda weird to be making this vid now wasn’t this season 2?
0:05 I’m deaaaddd. “This new Joss rewrite really sings, huh?” I knew the movie was based off Zack Snyder’s DCEU films, but I didn’t think they’d hit it so on the nose here. Alluding to Joss Whedon’s terrible rewrites of the Justice League movie, this has got to be the funniest reference ever.
How this was never addressed again is kinda baffling
The burning question...will Ashley survive the series run.
Not with her hair
Don’t think so. The anxiety and stress will break her, she’ll say something to homelander and he’s just gonna laser her.
love how he makes the flying off gesture like that these little things man jesus
- Girls get it on!
- “Done” girls get it done sir
- they sure do Ashley
Cracks me everytime 😂
The fact tat Antony is such a likeable guy in rl and yet Homelander is so damn loathsome makes a case on how amazingly talented he is..
You know thank God Antony Star seems like a somewhat chill guy because he's acting here is so seamless it's scary. He's that good.
From what I hear about him, there’s not much difference between him and homelander 😂
He has a criminal record in Spain for assaulting a guy in 2022.
Homelanders pose before he flies out 🤣🤣🤣
I love that the cameraman got an angle on the burning sheet like “oooooo, dis a great shot.”
Homelander sure doesn't appreciate the value of a life.
Homelander: Whah? Noooo I mean I love these guys!
He had no mother to nuture him so he’s just pure rage
@@ennieminymoo6675flex the glutes I need a solid circle
Bruh he never did lmfao, he just did it for the attention, they literally said that he couldn’t/wouldn’t do shit if he never got attention
Nobody appreciated his value of life:
- Solitary confinement (12 years or so)
- Torture on a child
- Deprived of parental figures as a BABY
- Human/child experimentation
- Sexual manipulation by a mature female molester
- Labeling him as a product/asset of a company, neglecting his human rights
- Breach of any and all privacy/constant supervision.
Why should he appreciate lives of humanity then, if humanity did THAT to him?
He is pretty well composed, because any human when subjected to THAT level of damage would become completely psychotic, feral and murderous like Brightburn.
Anthony is such a great actor. 🔥💯
1:22 that delivery is perfection
He is so good I watched this scene 20 times and his facial expressions / reactions is still funny
Homelander is just like “whoops I did again”
Every time he uses his laser vision it's the wrong choice.
It would've been cool if later on seasons. Someone makes a forum that's filled with his "mistakes" and it goes viral
Antony Starr not winning an award for homelander is a war crime.
The real war crime here.
He's the real actor.
This scene is applicable to the joke "caught in 4k" lmao
I’m like 90% sure this was inspired by the opening of Batman v Superman
"OHHHHHHHH, ohhh" underated line
The “Oh” of realization is fucking gold
Lolololol not gonna lie he’s actually hilarious in this scene instead of terrifying like the other 95% of time he’s on screen
It's not a war crime if there's no war 😏
So you’ve never heard of the war on terror then?
Your Russia is showing
@@ivyr336I think he was joking
@@treasurecatchermjp7083 as was I
@@ivyr336and america too
Anikan hears war crimes and is like oh ho boy this is where the fun begins
I love the contrast you can see between the super powered guys that Homelender kills and him. Homelander kills him and kills a civilian through negligence with his heat ray. Yet at the very start of it, you can see the man with the telekinetic powers, waiting until all the civilians get behind him as to not have any casualties.
The reality of having superpower of laser eyes like superman
I hope in season 4 we can see the younger version of him, like teenager Homelander having to deal with his powers and not having a family with him
Why can I see VLDL's Ben pulling off these facial expressions so fittingly?
the way he says ohhh 🤣🤣
What makes Amazon Homelander is that he is smart compared to comic Homelander
Depends.
He is cunning, but not particularly smart.
Comic book’s Homelander is smarter-ish, but not at all perceptive (which is ironic, since he has super-perception as one of his distinguishing powers).
Comic book Homelander is bad at reading people, even though he has speed-thinking that he uses, A LOT.
His computation power + perception powers are stronger, but his social intelligence in bad in comics.
Smart VS cunning/manipulative are different criteria.
HOW IS HE SO TERRIFYING YET SO FUCKING FUNNY LMAOO
Homelander has got to be one of the best villains and antagonists of all time
Prope to those two guys taking a lazer through the chest. Thats dedication to the roll
“Girls get it on”
“Done”
They sure do ashley
"girls get it on" Homelander is funny as hell
Ashley believes Homelander was saying "Girls get it on."; but what Homelander was saying is "Girls get it done." but impeded.
Terrific 👍
Stormfront must’ve watched that clip so many times
Girls get it on! 😂😂😂
0:41 I fucking love her so much! 😂😍
I am absolutely loving this show
everyone are great actors and actresses.
Homelander like Homer Simpsons, Bender and Peter Griffen
Homelander is the perfect depiction and the embodiment of the US ))
Gotta give big props to the creators.
That "ooh" he did is the same one ppl do when a traffic camera catches them doing an illegal u-turn. There's no remorse, just mild embarrassment.
terrific
Is that actually a war crime though? Civilian casualties are messed up but they happen in war all the time. He wasn’t intentionally targeting the kid, he didn’t even know he was there.
A better candidate for a war crime might be when he killed fleeing or wounded and helpless combatants, but y’know… that’s not the one that got caught on camera.
I still laugh that homelander made Ashley take off her wig that time 😂😂😂
0:40 perfect representation of hollywood tese days
He got sum notes from Anakin game recognizes game💯
I don’t think that was a super villain actually
In defense of Homelander that boy hid himself in worst place possible: behind the back of the enemy.
god forbid people stand anywhere
“In defense of Homelander”
Bro 💀
You lost me at "In Defense of Homelander" lmao
If you stand behind sheet behind a terrorist, I don't think that's "anywhere"@@mushmush4980
i like how homelander can fly, but he still choses using the stairs
He isnt a war criminal, he's a patriot defending his country and bringing freedom and voting to mankind.
it's funny that he still cared at that point
"They're all starving, but one of thems got a cellphone??"
🤣
2:15 The subtitles here are hilarious. The subtitles say "[Music] [Applause]", when the exact opposite is going on and people are protesting against Homelander.
"This new Joss rewrite really sings huh?" For a movie called "Dawn of the 7"? Is this a dig at Joss Whedon for makins that shitfest Justice League reshoot that was complete garbage? 😂 Zach Snyder all the way
Lol Snyder made the movie four hours long and it was still trash after. Couldn’t make a decent movie even with twice the runtime
Had to have been a slight dig. Because it was indeed shit.

@@ballrdd24eh no
@@ballrdd24nah you just hating.
Hr didn't kill that second dude on purpose so he probably isn't an actual war criminal
But he did create that supervillain.
1. He created that villain to begin with. 2. He has supervision to see stuff like that.
3. He still killed an innocent without remorse because of recklessness.
Probably the best character of the show
"This Joss rewrite sings"
Was that a Whedon and Singer sting?
Just a Joss reference. Saying something sings is a common saying.
It is so funny, that Homelander, with his god-like powers is still helpless against corporate bureaucracy and social media
Homelander has obsession with popularity.
@stealthstandard Homelander' only purpose in life is to be popular, if his urges aren't meant, than his life is meaningless.
Homelandrr' sociopathy prevents him from forming healthy relationships/friendships, while his narracistism constantly torments him with insecurity fueled delusions of grandeur.
I don't get it, was that dude some kind of African witch doctor who can summon winds?
Probably a parody of Storm from Marvel, who was also an African mutant who could control the weather.
He took v and had got the ability to control weather
The last Airbender
Homelander leaked V to people around the world so he'd have someone to fight for the PR.
Girls get it on! Brilliant!
Homelander just needs a worthy adversary to give him meaning
Scorched Earf!
From the looks of it, Homelander really wanted some supervillains roaming around. When Vought was thinking of a name for them, they had in mind stuff like superterrorist, super criminal etc, but he liked supervillain.
Not surprising, it must be boring to laser people instantly or one punch them to death etc, he probably wanted actual powerful enemies for the glory.
Stronggg female lesbians!
