@@bshaddo and the thing is that there are so many phenomenal actors on tv now that I never really get upset about it because someone is going to lose. I will definitely check out We Own This City. I’m glad it’s a miniseries because it’s really hard for me to rewatch shows like the sopranos and the wire because it takes so damn long
I love that the trailer only really showed clips from the start of the series, there's still so much more. Plus the chimp song in episode 2 made me laugh out loud, nothing in a TV show has done that for a while
It was cool how Tony kept trying to cover her eyes and control her head to keep her from looking at him. It was a cool way to highlight how her powers are projected via line of sight.
I don’t know why but the Adam Driver “good soup” clip has been cracking me up every time. I like week to week sometimes, but god damn after watching those first three episodes I was ready to crush to rest of the series immediately. The week long wait for this one is gonna hurt.
Yeah I don’t think week by week works for this show. Rewatching Season 1 that had to be binged. Week by week actually destroys the pacing/flow of the story. This season however has me achinggggg for more. Can’t stand the wait for this next episode.
MM's ex wife's new man was nodding in agreement during Homelander's speech in episode 2, which I found very disturbing. I hope that will come back in some way, like MM wins his family back. But considering his ex-wife wants to protect their daughter, I doubt that will happen if MM continues working with Butcher. And the stuff with A-Train I found super interesting as well. They touched on it a bit before with A-Train being profiled in the clothing store despite having a BROKEN LEG. But now with A-Train having these ambitions of "finding his roots like ROOTS", he's obviously beginning to see that the Vought way of pandering to people doesn't work all the time.
Tbh I kinda hated the step father guy doing that. I really just feel like it's too tropey and honestly M.M doesn't deserve to resume his place in that family. He made his choices. I like the idea that for once in a tv show, someone can fuck up and their SO moves on without the new husband turning out to be an evil prick.
Did you not notice the teleporting kid in that episode's name? He was Stillwells kid. The baby that survived Butchers explosion. He teleported miles away and ended up in that orphanage
I see alot of people talking about the termite scene and rightly so like holy fuck lol but the one that really shook me was when the head popper popped off that guys jaw and he's just lying there you can see the blood gather at the back of what's left of his throat and he's still alive like jesus fucking christ that was grim what could that even feel like 😬
Nobody Noticed That The Little Teleporting Child In The Orphanage, IS Actually The Child Of Elizabeth Shue's Character. The Teacher Says His Name And Everything
That roof scene really made my skin crawl because he was basically forcing this poor girl to take her OWN life after she changed her mind and wanted to get down off the ledge and the worst part is that you know Vaught would have spun the story of "this girl was deeply disturbed and even homelander couldn't talk her down" AAHHH its so disgusting
To be fair she was only convinced not to jump when fear took over. Even his taunt of I’ll just fly down and catch you didn’t stop her. Don’t play stupid games. Sometimes you win a stupid prize! 🤷🏾♂️😂😱
I think Butcher did what he did to the kid because the kid was starting to see his secret (you blood smells funny and your heart rate is way up) so he need to cut the kid off to keep his secret.
Thats because of the decline of the MCU. this one show is better than pretty much all the D+ shows. Seriously. The Boys illustrates stakes, characterization, media, politics, control, abuse, so much of it speaks to todays world. D+ is convoluted misandry and agenda forced. One is subversive satire, the other has become the satire.
I think the reveal is that Homelander was cloned from Soldier Boy. We’re gonna learn that the Americans got a hold of a Russia super weapon which will be Homelander’s DNA from Soldier Boy. Homelander is probably like the “ultimate perfected DNA of Soldier Boy” or some shit like that.
Would be an interesting turn for HL if he learns he’s actually Russian instead of American. Even more of himself that he doesn’t know about. Could push him further off the deep end.
Bold prediction: Homelander doesn’t make it to next year. Butcher becomes the big problem in the next season, and it’ll be the last. One caveat: I also predicted we’d get a Christmas episode to tide us over until summer. I’m not good at this.
I think the season will end with everyone fighting homelander and then soldier boy flips sides and he rips Mave’s head off on live tv. I mean homelander would kill her.
To me it felt like soldier boy was a soldier but upon receiving his powers he felt invincible. His ego grew and coupled with how people were back then it just went wild
Media people. There were a lot of media people that got the whole season it seems. I’ve watched like 5 reviews of the first 3 episodes and 3 out of the 5 watched the whole season already.
The commentary on American exceptionalism is not to do with it being fractured, but it was never there in the first place. Underneath was always a monster that believed the world needed him when it didn't.
I was upset with the Black Noir reveal. So meh. Why did they not use the secret in the comics (will not say what it was because they might still do it).
I hope Soldier Boy comes back to NYC and starts destroying everything thus Homelander being the hero when he kills Soldier Boy, Homelander has a perfect 100 efficiency rating and is now untouchable
Seasons 1 and 2 were equal quality? Wow, did you actually watch season 2, because it was awful. So far these 3 are a marked improvement, back to S1 quality
@@itsjustmekim its only been 3 episodes with 4 coming out tomorrow. There is still a chance he can appear more. Though since he isnt a clone of homelander i do wonder what they plan on doing with him because in the comic iirc he wasnt part of payback.
I’m sure they will once the show is over. This show is regularly highly regarded by its fans and critically acclaimed, two things WB needs if they still want to make DC movies.
is anyone else finding erin moriarty’s new face kind of distracting? whatever she had done, i hope it wears off. she didn’t need it in the first place and it’s making her look much older than she is.
@@phil5037 they mentioned a couple of times throughout the episode that they do have the whole season but are choosing to watch it at the same pace as everyone else weekly to have the same experience
All I know is starlight needs a power buff I mean she has light based abilities. Her being able to damage home lander needs to be a thing, but with her showing against BN I kind of doubt it
Hopefully they see the gold mine and maybe create projects outside of just home lander where there is a sort of school for supes. I mean they can’t ALL be terrible; like I get it but humanity isn’t this bleak. Don’t change the series, but hopefully they continue to evolve
I mean they could make a G-men show, except unlike the X-men they’re just a front for a human trafficking p3dophile ring. Or maybe Fantastico, the FF ripoff who are all one polyamorous drug addicted sexual deviants. I for one would love to see Kripke’s take on both! Lol
I just wanna see Homelander pop off and start taking out bought and all the evil shit the company does. Tells the public about his life from being a child test subject, to all the awful things, the cover ups, etc. then becoming a real hero for the people. Wouldn’t redeem him but they don’t need to. Have him enjoy becoming a real hero. I really don’t care how awful a person Homelander is… I wanna see the bad guy win. How fucking sick would that be
the only reason to continue watching this season is to see homelander destroy and have a blast doing it, this season is a chore to watch, I really want to know why starlight looks so old or gaunt or botoxed..anorexic maybe, I hope the actress gets that sorted out
Homelander's little jog to try and get the head seat and subsequent reaction had me howling.
I think it’s time for Anthony Starr to get his Emmy
The only better performance I can think of this year is Jon Bernthal, and that’ll be a different category.

He already deserves one for banshee, which I’m increasingly convinced I’m the only person who has seen it
@@chonchjohnch banshee was amazing. Starr and the guy who played proctor killed it
I identify with Homelander and his aspirations as a person. He's right about many things.
I love that the trailer only really showed clips from the start of the series, there's still so much more. Plus the chimp song in episode 2 made me laugh out loud, nothing in a TV show has done that for a while
Chimps don't cry 😭

It’s got to. It was just so intentional it would be weird for them not to go back to it.
I’m pretty sure he WAS following the Vought way of doing things. Say something people will applaud while risking absolutely nothing.

God bless Starlight that girl fighting for her life every season
Nobody Noticed That The Little Teleporting Child In The Orphanage, IS Actually The Child Of Elizabeth Shue's Character. The Teacher Says His Name And Everything
I noticed that on the second watching
Someone may have already mentioned this, but the on screen timer resets to 0 at the hour mark instead of showing 1:00. Great pod as always!
That roof scene really made my skin crawl because he was basically forcing this poor girl to take her OWN life after she changed her mind and wanted to get down off the ledge
and the worst part is that you know Vaught would have spun the story of "this girl was deeply disturbed and even homelander couldn't talk her down"
AAHHH its so disgusting
I thought he pushed her
To be fair she was only convinced not to jump when fear took over. Even his taunt of I’ll just fly down and catch you didn’t stop her. Don’t play stupid games. Sometimes you win a stupid prize! 🤷🏾♂️😂😱
I’m not too confident Supersonic is gonna make it to Season 4
Oh, he’s going to die in a horrific way ha.
Called it, GG.
The Little Boy That Almost Teleports Hugie At The Orphanage Is Confirmed To Be Madeline Stillwell's Son Teddy Stillwell
Which means homelander didn't save him but the baby just teleported away, ha plot hole sealed.
I think Butcher did what he did to the kid because the kid was starting to see his secret (you blood smells funny and your heart rate is way up) so he need to cut the kid off to keep his secret.
Just finished the episodes hoped you guys would follow suit
This show is amazing. I absolutely love how I can watch it and always just enjoy every minute.
Thats because of the decline of the MCU. this one show is better than pretty much all the D+ shows. Seriously.

What a great way to start off the season. I’m really excited to see what’s gonna come from this season!
This really is the best show I've seen in years. It's so goddamn sharp man
Everything all the MCU Disney plus series SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

Didn't realize how much I missed the boys till I watched the first few minutes of episode 1.
Yeah, it’s hard to wait, but man is it worth it!
we got a small part of black noir story... who knew he was blown up faced disfigured 😯
To me it felt like soldier boy was a soldier but upon receiving his powers he felt invincible. His ego grew and coupled with how people were back then it just went wild
I'm not sure what it takes to get an x-rating, but I'm surprised that episode didn't get one for that whole Termite scene.
Ach-choo!!!
I had to look away. Lol. But I don't want to stifle their creativity at all.
Im a bit worried to look up what would give an x rating
We didn't get Cindy from Sage Grove in S3, hoping she makes a return in S4.
That food sharing irked me. Man's got a girlfriend.
fucking diabolical start of the season, Homelander is unhinged and I'm here for it!
I swear Maeve is underrated as hell love her working with butcher
Best review since early game of thrones 👌🏾
I never never want a live action Arcane series. Abso-fucking-lutely never. But if it ever happened, Anthony Star would be perfect for Silco.
Should list which episodes being reviewed in the description.
This is gonna be a great season along with great soup !
I swear they are setting up a battle of metropolis man of steel destruction like fight with homelander in the endgame of the series
Is there a way to watch the entire season that I’m missing or did you guys get it cause you’re like media people? Lol
Media people. There were a lot of media people that got the whole season it seems. I’ve watched like 5 reviews of the first 3 episodes and 3 out of the 5 watched the whole season already.

Storm front did not die on screen. Idc she got a chance to come back.
I most identify with Homelander.

I personally loved S2, I think it showed the depth the show actually has
What about Black Noir? He has been WAY sidelined from his comic arc, I wonder what they’ll do with him
right they gave us a very little tidbit about why he doesn't take his mask off and that's it.
@@itsjustmekim its only been 3 episodes with 4 coming out tomorrow. There is still a chance he can appear more.

Just. The dick hole scene. I will never get that image out of my mind and I very very badly want it to go away.
This show is firing on all cylinders I swear DC n WBs needs to hire kripke for something
I’m sure they will once the show is over. This show is regularly highly regarded by its fans and critically acclaimed, two things WB needs if they still want to make DC movies.

Eat Timothy lol
How do you watch the full season?
it's on Amazon Prime. only the first 3 are out for now
The first 3 are on Amazon but they probably got a pass to watch all 8 since they review the show
@@Lavolpeengreece No I think they only watched the first 3 like us.
@@phil5037 they mentioned a couple of times throughout the episode that they do have the whole season but are choosing to watch it at the same pace as everyone else weekly to have the same experience
The appeal of streaming was it being on demand, this week to week nonsense was bullshit.
You guys planning on fixing your echoing problems? Kind of distracting. Love the commentary otherwise.
All I know is starlight needs a power buff I mean she has light based abilities. Her being able to damage home lander needs to be a thing, but with her showing against BN I kind of doubt it
Can you talk about Kaitou Joker?
I liked it
I think Home Lander is playing the Trump card this season and trying to find a new alt-right base.
I hate week to week. Just drop everything at once dude.
Hopefully they see the gold mine and maybe create projects outside of just home lander where there is a sort of school for supes. I mean they can’t ALL be terrible; like I get it but humanity isn’t this bleak. Don’t change the series, but hopefully they continue to evolve

I really don't get what you mean when you said "people always use MLK quotes to justify horrible things."
What horrible things?
like conservatives saying how them and mlk would be best friends
