I NEVER Expected THE BOYS to be THIS Brutal!! - Фільми й анімація
Hey guys! This is the reaction video for Season 1: Episodes 7 & 8!
And with this video released, we are officially finished with season 1! Thank you all so much for an amazing intro into The Boys! Onto Season 2!!!!! If you guys still want that...
Hell yeah, watch the entire thing, the show is fantastic and i think you'll love the rest of it
Hey, Alex! Will You react to Attack on Titan? As a person who hates anime in general, this show is a masterpiece
You have to do seasons 2 & 3 (and then 4 when it comes out). The craziness and boundaries just keep getting pushed further and further to levels you never thought you’d see from a TV show
Alex I found you like a week ago and I am always watching your videos on the daily now. I love your humor keep doing what your doing but yes I’m waiting for all your “The boys “ reactions
Yes PLEASE!! I love your reactions to the crazy shit in this show
Your The Boys reaction videos need to be more frequent, whos with me!!?
We stand with you
yes, got 2 more seasons after this... so a lot more to go through with
Agreed!
I agree but it's hard to edit The Boys and he is doing spectacular work with it and I love those goats 🤣
What he said
if Alex thinks season one is wild then bro’s in for a WILD ride the next two seasons 💀
And Gen V
I'm just waiting for s3e6 lmao
@@turdboi420-69that whole ep is going to be face cam
Man, I finished S1 and my resolve to keep going into S2 is faltering. I mean, the writing is nothing short of amazing but the going is THOUGH and I'm still convalescing from that finale.
@@mariocastillo8334 As someone whos watched all the seasons multiple times. Bail now cause it Differently gets way WAY worst😅
The screaming goat is an adaptation I didnt know I needed in my life.
Alex looking at the screen in horror with his mouth covered at 9:36 with the goat scream was a Fantastic little cherry on top.
God damn I just needed that in my life😂😂
Yeah they should keep it. Protects from censoring and is an extra layer of fun
@@Mehzu. Chef's kiss
Did it better than thor love and thunder too lol
Homelander saying "Keep those hands down by your sides, missy..." gave me chills. He's fucking terrifying, bro
The collective trauma of the gills is unmatched
eh.... I'd say what The Deep does in Season 3 is probably more traumatic than the gills... (don't want to spoil it if you, or others, haven't seen it yet)... lol
@@captsparrowsladyas bad as that is, the gills still make me more uncomfortable
@@ajgov I shiver every time I think about them
@@captsparrowslady I mean, you already at least spoiled that he's still kicking in season 3.
@@captsparrowslady What does he do in season 3 again? I watched it some time ago
Antony Starr is such an underrated Actor. Im so happy he landed this role. He IS homelander. Dont think anyone else could play him. 💜
Him and Karl, New Zealand represent.
Cmon now. You guys. You guys are the real heroes.
if you haven't seen Banshee give that a watch
dude deserves a mf emmy
Watch him in Banshee, he's even better than Homelander there.
The thing that always stood out to me about that scene with the Deep and that girl, is that Deep is being faced with a situation similar to what he put Starlight through. Obviously there's a lot more going on between the original scene with Starlight (blackmail, workplace harrasment). But I never once heard him give that girl permission to do what she does. He actually says no and she dismisses him, while it clearly is causing him pain. I always found this to be such a clever narrative choice. One on hand, I should be "happy" to see Deep recieve some karmic retribution. On the other, it is still a horrible thing to watch something like that happen. I think it's a really important juxtaposition that we are faced with. And the show does that continually is so many ways which I think is what sets it apart from average TV.
I mean there are several times when deep's sexual boundaries are pushed. One is the dolphin coercing him into sexually relieving it and the way he responds makes me think it's something he deals with a lot (dolphin's are kinda known as the rapists of the sea). The situation about the girl just builds on that he is kinda numb to his sexual boundaries being violated and treats others the same way whenever he has power because he is desensitized to it. I don't think the scenes are meant to have you empathize with him but they just acknowledge that it's not *always* a clean line between victim and perpetrator but that a person can be both.
@@nbucwa6621 Yeah... I think if I remember correctly... Vaught basically pimped out The Deep to important people they were trying to make business deals with... so his relationship to sex is seriously fucked up. It absolutely does not excuse his violation of Starlight in the slightest, but it does show that often times victims can sometimes become the perpetrator. The Deep definately needs a lot of therapy.
I recently rewatched the boys and I just realized Stillewell's baby wasnt saved by Homelander like I thought, he actually teleported away, he's later shown at the orphanage for sups and that's his power
Kinda spoilery, but most people (including myself) miss the connection the first time through, especially if they don't catch the kid's name.
@@Pavaroso I literally had no idea they're the same kid until I've read this comment.
Just a note, the trainer for A-Train is his literal brother. Not just some friend. So the strain in their relationship for doing something he doesn't approve of makes a bit more sense. He's trying to give him some tough love to get him on the right track.
Watching these reactions with you makes me feel like I'm watching these shows and movies for the first time. I love your genuine reactions and feedback. You talk a lot, but you don't ruin the narrative for yourself or the audience with it. That's awesome.
Fully agree!
I've unsubbed from a lot of reaction channels where people just talk way too much and frequently ruin their own viewing experience. Then there are those that pause what they're watching and talk longer than actual length of the movie/episode. *Shudders*
Alex has a really great reaction formula going. Perfect balance of a lot of elements. And The Boys is show that's tailor made for him.
Anthony Starr the actor of homelander is a kiwi. He once starred in a tv show where he played both identical twins who are completely different people and it was flawless. He is such a great actor.
He also starred in a show called Banshee where he played as an ex con posing as a cop
@@tylerwatson9079 Yea. Banshee is so underrated. No one has seen it except me lol
I like how he uses Dylan is in Trouble's face to censor stuff😂
You just made my day just by adding goat scream in certain scenes, it's perfect and now I wish the whole show was actually like that. My stomach was hurting so much from laughter.
If you think the early episodes are rough you better strap in because you're in for a bumpy ride
Strap in and strap on, big man
My take on "people who had traumatic childhoods doing bad things as adults" is that it's understandable, but still no excuse. Part of becoming a grown-up is gaining enough self-awareness and self-control to DECIDE what kind of person you want to be, and what kind of actions you want to take. For instance, the child of an abusive alcoholic might grow up to be a major abuser/alcoholic themself, OR they might grow up to be a non-violent non-drinker - at a certain point, they get to choose how that early trauma shapes them.
Pointing to your trauma to defend your own bad actions is just a way to avoid responsibility for your own adult choices.
alcoholism is genetic. a lot of trauma is generational . moste of the things we do are chemical reactions in the brain . we have only scratched the surface on how the brain works . people with alcholism fight a daily battle to try and fight the way there brain works. and they must find a different ways to trigger the brains reward system.
💯 Kinda related … I always think they should call it “guilty with insanity” rather than “not guilty by reason of insanity”. The person still did the bad thing. There is still a victim.
Thats not how it works just because you reach 18 doesnt mean you have it all figured out guy
@@mrkingdrago1013 no one mentioned being 18. I think you are projecting. I'm thirty and still haven't figured it out but that doesn't excuse hurting others. Maybe I will figure it out at forty or never but that doesn't give me a free get out of jail card to abuse others and it's my responsibility to make sure I'm always working my hardest to get to the point where I'm not hurting others, not hurting myself and finally not hurting.
@@nbucwa6621 well I wasn't talking to you I was talking to him
The baby didn’t by the way, the baby had powers and actually managed to teleport away by instinct. We see him again in season 3 a little older
I cannot wait for you to start watching season 2 and 3 of The Boys! lol...
Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy is absolute perfection. He absolutely deserves an Emmy for that performance.
This is the only movie and TV reaction channel I can consistently watch. Love your stuff, Alex
The Boys is easily the best show on TV. The writing, the satire and suspense is awesome! Also....check out Gen V the Boys spin off which is set between season 3 and the upcoming season 4
Gen V is also great!
The boys is treating content warnings like Pokémon to catch lmao. Love your reactions. I’m disgusted very easily (How did I ever make it through this show?) so it feels good seeing you suffer with me.
I'm very sensitive and never made through the frist ep let alone the first season so getting to watch the heavily censored version through Alex's channel with his levity helping to tone down the heavier moments means I can finally enjoy the show without tanking my mental health.
Absolutely love this show. Since you mentioned how the show is one of the few that gets your heart moving fast, I have to suggest Mr. Robot. Fantastic show, and it's the only show I've ever watched that legit gave me anxiety when I normally wouldn't have it. Its also by far one of the most accurate representations of cybersecurity topics (especially social engineering) that you'll see in film/tv.
He really gave us time to contemplate at the end there
The screaming goat man, even after what, almost 20 years, it still gets me
Can't expect anything less from The Boys
My son and I just started season 3, and we are so addicted. It’s like watching a train wreck, you can’t look away. Love your reactions, spot on.
By the way Alex, the actor who plays Mesmer is Haley Joel Osment. He was also Forest Gump’s kid and the little boy in The Sixth Sense
Also the voice of sora in the kingdom hearts video game franchise.
I saw this and I just got a burst of happiness
The goat scream in the gills scene sent me😂💀💀
This season's finale has such a unique, caring touch. Wholesome fun for everybody. ^^
This show is so good. The story and performances are fantastic. Anthony Starr (I think that’s the actor of Homelander) plays a great villain/sympathetic villain. The dolphin scene always gets me laughing and I love when Butcher uses the Spice Girls analogy. I hope you keep going with season 2 and 3
Homelanders actor is an absolute 10/10 i never had hated a character so much. Its burely based on how amazing the actor does.
Finally something that makes Alex squirms 😂
7:59 And that boys and girls is how you neutralize a Speedster, Crowbar to the leg = broken leg = no running.
Alex is in for a ride with this one
and now ALEX KNOWS that Starlight is bullet proof, not even a 50cal, 50bmg could hurt her, I wonder if he will remember lol
Can't wait for you to get through the rest, but also the spin-offs like Diabolical and Gen V as well. They can't seem to miss in this universe
If you thought this was crazy, the next couple of seasons are even more insane. But that is what I love about this show,...
PLEASE WATCH SEASON 2. I don’t want to rewatch it before the 4th season comes out
You should check out “Banshee” Anthony Star the actor who plays Homelander stars in that and is phenomenal.
I wish more people watch Banshee. I knew Star from that. Its an amazing show
It shocks me the amount of people who have not seen "Banshee". Anthony Starr was amazing.
Butcher is Bones and Hughie's Dad is Scotty in the lastest version of Star Trek movies with Chris Pine. And Hughie's the voice star of Star Trek Lower Decks and guested on ST: Strange New Worlds. He's one of the Quaids.
I love that this series has Boimler, Scotty AND McCoy from Star Trek. :)
Its not even started to get brutal yet, trust me, this is all very tame in comparison to whats to come.
Deep shaving his hair is a common coping mechanism to take some kind of control over your life. Changing hair, getting tattoos etc
The screaming goat noises help so much I love them
Thanks for uploading this, i've been waiting. Perfect timing too, i need something to get my mind out of real life right now.
Man, I am all for these reactions, literally can't watch "The Boys" without your reactions. Been here since your "Hip hop head reacts" and my god it's been a journey, and I've loved every last bit of it, especially your way of seeing things and your crazy outburst of just the most random shit ever.
OH boy i love your "The Boys" reaction videos please upload all of them with the full length these are the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alex's reaction to the gill scene was my exact reaction 🤣 even re-experiencing now gave me a visceral reaction lmaooo
Already watched this show some time ago, but I love watching it again "with" someone who hasn't watched it before😂
I don’t know what’s worse the sound effects or the visuals of disturbing scenes
FYI Starlight gets stung by a bee in the later seasons and gets a permanent reaction that completely changes her face....i.e. swollen duck lips, sunken cheeks, raised eye brows and protruding jawline.
To the editor, the baby at the end does not die by the way. In one of the later on episodes it mentions that the kid was found far away and alive and unharmed which means Homelander actually went out of his way to save the kid shockingly. This detail does not really affect anything so does not matter if Alex somehow reads this too.
Bro said this was the craziest season of tv hes seen and it only gets more insane from here 😅 cant wait until S3 EP1
And we all know the other season 3 episode that will have 99% blurring 😂
I waited too long for another The Boys reaction
The Main Plot: Corrupt government empire getting taken down by a group of men who have almost nothing too lose
Subplot: Deep very sad
"Don't do tongue work while you execute that maneuver". - Alex
Only on this channel can you get lines of gold like that. This is why you are so awesome. Great video as always.
You’re awesome 😂❤❤❤
I NEVER expected to still be asking for 2004's THE PUNISHER! Before the MCU, before Netflix and Jon Bernthal, there was Thomas Jane! Not only my favorite superhero movie of all time but my favorite action flick of all time too! 😎
Was waiting for this one! Merry Christmas btw
The way you are feeling now is how I felt when I started this show. I got through 3 seasons in less than 2 weeks. It just keeps getting better.
LOVE THESE!!! Let’s go on to season 2 now!!! It only gets better!!
I can't fuckin' WAIT for you to do season 2!
26:58 OMG, I hate you. "OK, don't do tongue work while you execute that maneuver." 😂 I was *dying!* I had to pause the reaction until I stopped coughing. You, sir, are ridiculous. Please don't ever change. `
😂😂❤❤❤❤
the screaming goat edit got me busting out laughing. Great work editor!
The fuzzy side of a velcro strap is too good lmaooo
The screaming goat sound edit was an awesome move, except now when I get-down-in-real-town I'm not gonna have a happy ending unless a disembodied goat is screaming in the background, and that could present some... challenges. Maybe.
33:26 who doesn't love 2 whole minutes of peace and quiet eh? 😉
I thought my phone froze 😂
Wait until season 3 - it gets more EFFED up the further it goes along. Season 3, Episode 1 - worst sex party ever
You know the guy who played Mesmer is Haley Joel Osment? "I see dead people" from The Sixth Sense...
He sure saw dead people just before Butcher smashed his head on the sink in the airport bathroom.
That was absolutely hilarious Alex, especially the gill fingering scene. It made you so uncomfortable lmao. Butcher is my all time favorite character from any series. Karl Urban does a fantastic job and his use of the hard C is perfectly timed and executed. Cannot wait for season 2!
Hello! I love your videos, I'm from Argentina and just yesterday I finished watching all the seasons that came out of The Boys! This video/reaction came to me just in time hahaha
Looking forward to your Season 2 reaction. It gets crazier from here on out!!!
bringing back the screaming goats, we love to see it!
33:25 I'm not the only one who watch the whole blackscreen sceen, just to look if there is something after that ..? xD
Great reaction!
And props to the editor, removing all naughty scenes, so UA-cam police won't bonk to h0rny jail.
The fish dude got violated. 😂😂😂
No outro for the last few minutes. Watched the whole thing waiting for a jump scare. Funny! Love watching your reactions. It's like watching them for the first time again.
Your reaction to this made it very enjoyable to relive.
Thank you for your vibe!
alex thank you for making my day just a bit better!
The boys vids are some of your best reactions! Keep ‘em coming
ah yes, time to see what other ways Alex can get scarred...
It's the Goat Screaming for me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah we need season 2 right now ASAP
Posting this on my birthday
Thanks for the present Alex
Your reaction to the "gillbang" scene made me laugh harder that anything in a long time. Thx for that.
Been waiting for this video to come out. Can’t wait for your reactions to the later seasons and Gen V!!!
“At least that’s how my childhood was”. OH, MY GOD!🤣🤣🤣 Dude, you are such a cool dork! Plus, you’re definitely twisted without being vulgar! I’m so here for it! Fine, you got me! I’m smashing that subscribe button!
And it only gets more wild from here 😂
Ah, finally, it is time
22:54 “You are on crutches, my guy! You should not be PULLING TRAINS right now!”
ARGH! SO…MANY…JOKES…! Must resist…!
FUZZY SIDE OF THE VELCRO STRAP 😭😭😭😭 that took me outttt
every episode this show gets so much better and so much weirder
Rewatching the show with your reactions not withholding the intrusive thoughts is great, season 2 and 3 soon pls ^^
Just when think this show can't go any further....it does!
Nice to do a “refresher” with you before season 4 premieres BRO!
Now do season 2 and 3!
I exploded with laughter at "the gills incident". Great vid Alex, p`lease keep going with the next seasons ^_^
PS: There's no end song and 2 minutes of black screen at the end.
Hey Alex, in class we learned that neglect is far more severe than any abuse, the damage it does
yeah well, when its more acceptable to have horror screams than sounds of affection, you know somthing is wrong
i blocked the gills out of my memory and I'm so upset now.
im 30 seconds into the video and alex has already said something extremely unhinged
this is gonna be a great video
Your reactions are funny, and with the goat screams they are hilarious :-)
