God this fight was so fucking good. Soldier Boy blocking and deflecting blows because he actually knows how to fight, but still being shocked that homelander is stronger than him. Homelander just throwing sluggers cause this is the first time he’s fighting someone in his weight class and is a mix of anger and freaking out. Hughie joining the fight but doing sneak attacks cause he can help but isn’t at that level. And Butcher taking every hit, fighting him head on just to show he can and show homelander that he isn’t invincible. God this was so fucking good.
wdym homelander was just throwing sluggers he actually had some fighting skills he could block dodge and parry if it werent for those he wouldve be dead already cus butcher and soldier boy are close to homelander's strength
@@brandongarcia7724 That could be the case. They’re definitely in the same weight class. But ultimately I think homelander a defense is probably the stronger of the two.
The fact that a bad, monstrous man like Soldier Boy is still 100% true to his word despite multiple opportunities to break or gain even something more is what makes his character awesome
yep, its like when Butcher took the superpowers, he brought the fight level to human vs human, he can finally punch HomeLander and it actually does damage to his face.
For all his faults, Homelander actually reacts pretty well to the unexpected. His long term planning sucks, but he's pretty good with "Ok, this is happening. Let's stay calm and deal with it."
I think homelander handled himself really well for someone that's never faced anything that was a threat to him. You seen the fear in his eyes throughout the fight. And the moment he was hissing like a rabid f****** animal in a corner was great acting!
I'm hoping butcher becomes the comic equivalent of what black noir should be. Noir is supposed to be a clone of HL and kills him in the comic. Butcher has almost the same powers as HL but unlike Noir he isn't a little stronger than HL but in a team up he can kill him. In the comic butcher kills black noir after noir kills HL. The military bombs noir until he's only got a leg and a arm and half his head than butcher takes his crow bar and pulls his brain and spine out to finish Noir for good. They can definitely integrate that into the show and have him finish HL well juiced up on compound V. They just need queen Maeve instead of hughie on their team.
@@dontcare7086 dude that just ain't going to happen and they have talked about it lot of times, even part of the cast dislike the comics like Antony, the only probable thing that they will take from the comics ending is Butcher giving the last hit to Homelander and Hughie taking out Butcher's life
Its a bit of a toss up. I believe Butcher has better fighting skills hands down, but I think his body is still adjusting to the super powers, Its the only thing that can explain why the three three of them didn't rock HL.
I think it was more confusion about him having that power and showing up for the fight at all more than being naked which he’s seen with his own group before as you probably knew
Yep destroys his confidence and ego, he always thought he was unbeatable. Sure he got away but he had to run with his tail between his legs to survive, homelander has never had to run from any fight. So I would count this as a big win for the boys.
@@zyairrountree2411 Well the biggest weakness right now is that Butcher needs a constant supply of Temp V. Where is he supposed to get that from now that Maeve disappeared?
I got to say it, the range of emotions that Anthony Starr displays here are amazing: cocky, powerful, hateful, actual concern, genuine surprised, animal agression, masterclass in acting a villain
Dude deserves more awards for his performance. I see why he maybe hasn't, drinking breast milk and all, but the guy is INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLY talented. I don't think I've loved an actor's performance more since Marlon Brando's Vito Corleone, every scene he kills it.
I want him and Giancarlo Esposito to work together more. Giancarlo being the closest second, their scenes together are fantastic. But Giancarlo doesn't get as many to show range. Really glad he came back this last season and is playing Stan differently.
I love how when they were holding him down Homelander had absolutely no idea what to do. He was panicking like crazy firing up the laser and screaming even though he knew he wouldn`t hit anyone with the lasers. Insane props to Anthony Starr for portaying a God amongst men feeling genuine fear and panic for the first time in his life.
I don't think that was fear or panic, that was being momentarily caught off guard. 1v1 he was handling SB, even when Butcher jumped in and itnwas 2v1 he was doing good, only when Hughie popped up did he falter and get overwhelmed. But even then, all three of them together couldn't hold him down and finish the job.
I love when they’re holding him down there’s something real animalistic with homelander, the way he’s panicking and thrashing with his lasers ready to go. Like an animal backed into a corner showing their claws or teeth but just as afraid. That desperate scream he does too 😚👌🏾
Homelander prob couldnt use his lasers cuz Soldier Boy's blast can suppress surrounding Supe's abilities while hes charging up (ex. TNT twins powers failing when confronted by SB), it would also explains why the Boys werent able to restrain HL bc their powers would also be suppressed making them weaker in general
@@Zimo0o Nah the twins powers failed due to them being has beens, not because of SB. If that was the case Homiegrounder here wouldn't be able to fly away
@@Zimo0o nah nah, soldier boy can only blast off the power after the beam ( which explained why the tiny guy stays tiny) The TNT twins power havent been used for a long time and requires great form from both of team ( they are both fat and hate eachother so much now)
@@varric Well said, Varric... And *in fact that seeing somebody's (Wee Hughie) been buck-n@k£d* is truly, a totally priceless moment ever seen right there...😅🤣🤣
This episode was worth all the hype. Soldier Boy really pushed Homelander to that next level of his powers and his fighting skills. I can't wait to see what next episode brings!
The mental fuckery of losing for the first time.. I could see Homelander taking a shit ton of Compound V as steroids to make sure he never loses again.
I love how Butcher and Soldier Boy are coordinated when they fight. That double punch and then taking Homelander to the ground looked awesome af they undestand eachother without saying a word
A good mirror image in this fight was seeing HL give a manic smile while catching Soldier Boy’s punches, and then Butcher taking HL’s hits and giving him a manic smile. They really are extremely alike, even in fights. Butcher roared while clashing lasers, and HL growled. They fought like animals, and I’m all for it.
I kinda felt like the reason Butcher roared at that time was from the pain of using his laser eyes for such an extended period and they were beginning to burn. While HL only growled because his tolerance was much higher due to him being used to it. Hence why SB snatched HL down before he could gain the advantage.
Homelander's look of disbelief when Butcher yells out "Oi!" was priceless. From the first punch thrown, he went from cocky to confused to worried to shocked. Watching how he processes the realization that he could have been killed in that fight will be interesting to watch in the coming episodes.
I loved when he struckl him with his laser Eye and Homelander screetched "WTF"! Shock Desperation & Upset that hes not Untouchabl. It was a Fantastic Fight for a Streaming show. I wish they would get Zack Snyder to do one giant Fight scene it would be Amazing
He might have actually been killed if Starlight actually did something. Starlight is always talking about how she’ll do something, when actually she has rarely contributed.
I never got "frightened" from him. It felt more like rageful denial, confusion & disorientation. That last moment before he took off felt like "no! the his isn't how it's supposed to be!"
At 4:18 he looks like a wild animal caught in a trap. Antony Starr did such a great job at playing Homelander’s reaction to being overpowered for the first time.
By 3 people. Its stupid, there would be thousands of supes that are stronger than v hughie. Makes no sense that butch is on his level and hughie can pin down even one arm. @@timovangalen1589
@@RobRIPDGpretty sure most of it is soldier boy, butcher and hughie are just making it easier for him, not to mention all 3 of them still weren't strong enough to keep homelander cause by the end homelander overpowered them and escaped
I think a nice little detail no one has really been talking about is Homelander’s satisfaction in finding out it was, in fact, all about him. Just the small little ego boost it gives his already infinite ego was a nice touch.
i don’t think calling his ego infinite is a good characterization. i think his ego is fragile and weak. he has infinite excuses, infinite coping mechanisms. that’s what narcissism really is- the pain and trauma of feeling inadequate to your very core (narcissists don’t really even have cores, they have no real sense of self). homelander is infinitely capable of spinning stories. it’s why he works so well in the media. he’s intelligent but he understands mass psychology way better than he understands individuals, and he can use the stories of mass psychology to justify his place in the world. the archetype of the hero, the god. these are soothing images that he uses to massage his broken self-image. this is why narcissists tend to be so grandiose. not only is it just a nice thing to think about yourself -you’re the center of everything, you’re very important and powerful- it allows you to think in large social terms, which narcissists are better equipped for than the small scale real lives that people live on an individual level. this clip actually showcases this exact dynamic of narcissistic pseudo-empathy. homelander is on the verge of tears just by seeing soldier boy. as a child he was raised on movies and PR. in this moment he’s confronted with the three-dimensional version of one of the few things he was capable of empathizing with, and now that he’s here he hates homelander and wants to kill him. you can see he starts to well up immediately. if you know a narcissist you know that they cry just fine at movies but they can’t empathize for you. this show portrays narcissism perfectly it’s really incredible.
Seeing season 1 Hughie, I never would have imagined that his character development would have led to him naked, pinning down a terrified screaming Homelander to the floor.
It's good to see him fight period. We've never seen homelander actually fight someone until now, despite all the people he's killed.Supersonic got killed offscreen, and everyone else either didn't have any powers or didn't even try to fight back
It's the fact that he had to put in _extreme_ effort to get out from underneath them - that's the real key. Now imagine Maeve was in there too; he'd have very little chance of escaping. He knows he's in very real danger, especially if anybody can be a supe now.
It's the fact that someone could get the best of him...He was not having it lmaoo.. The writing of these characters is 🤌... He's a complete psychopath...
@@T_Teobokkifr I only just started watching this show for the first time last month and Butcher has already become one of my all time favorite TV characters, same for Homelander and Hughie
A beautiful scene, showing Homelander struggling with fear, injury and clearly confused about his own mortality. I love the next scene where he's just quietly staring at himself bruised and coming to terms that he had to RUN away to save his life.
@@abhijithanand8770 #HomeRunner. It's perfect, I hope this somehow makes it to the next season like where someone leaks the vid of him running away. Would be nice to see how he faces cowardice. Either way #HomeRunner, run home
@@josuelrobles6612 Homelander knows what is coming now and he will not be doing a 3-vs-1 again. He can always fly away. He might not be able to see Hughie coming but he can definitely see the other two. Also they don't have endless supply of the V.
Props to Soldier Boy. The first glimpse he gets of Homelander is him lasering a guy with his heat vision. Rather than being intimidated, he downright insults and mocks him
That's fear. Dude was probably shitting his pants in utter horror at what he just witnessed. If Starlight had joined in, they could have probably murdered Homelander right there and then, and John knows it.
@@OGrupxe I don't agree on Starlight, she would have probably interfered more than helped! These guys on the other hand are going for the kill, they are not moralizing, they are not distracted, they are not fucking around. You do not get between a wild animal and its prey.
I love Homelanders slight little pause when Hughie arrives. He's just like "What? Wait why is he naked?" and then he immediately just snaps back into it but it was a funny little moment.
its one of those reoccurring gags that makes this show so god damn hilarious. Another great example is starlight always playing supersonics hit song about the 16 year old whenever she wanted to talk to him in private. Its such a little thing but every time it happens its funny
It makes Homelander’s entrance that much more intimidating when you realize he has super hearing and the little guy was crying out in pain, which Homelander would have heard beforehand. He didn’t step on him coincidentally, he did it because he could, because he wanted to feel powerful.
I'm both very excited for what we are about to see and sad that the series are probably reaching it's end. At least, when drawing a parallel to the comics, there isn't much left, unless they drift away from the original material (more than they already have). Still I believe it's for the best, I would hate to see it dragged on for longer than it should
@@knashboi3914 it was only teased by Karl Urban, no? Anyway I don't think it would be good to rush it to end in S3, but I don't think it should go beyond S4 as well
3:33 butcher's bloodied smile says it all. He's waited so long to do some real damage to homelander with his own fists and it shows. He's having a time of his life.
The sheer delight on butchers face at the fact he no longer has to cower and run from homelander and can stand up to him and trade blows without being killed by a single hit from him a moment he's been dreaming about for a long time
Well he never really cowered from homelander before anyway. Hell h even tried to blow himself homelander and a baby up just because he had nothing left to loose in the attempt.
4:37 the scream that he let out literally sent chills down my spine , you can tell that homelander is desperate and actually scared for once , for his whole life homelander never really faced much adversity or challenges (physical or mental) when theres finally a moment where two equally strong people (and hughie) are holding him down ready to blast him away for good , he can't help but scream in terror and use every last bit of his resolve into escaping , he quite literally activated fight or flight response
Damn, you said 2 strong people and Hughie like he was an afterthought, lmao! Nah, but for real--don't forget, he got super strength along with the teleportation powers!
I interpreted the scream more like a grunt when you lift heavy. Meaning it was desperation, but the scream showed more that he was using everything he had instead of fear. Although he may have been scared I think the scream was more indicative of the effort he had to exert to get out.
It sounded like Homelander was beyond frustrated and pissed that all the folks he wanted to un-alive in brutal fashion have all somehow managed to challenge him in this way! It's all falling apart, and he can't even enact his plan of murdering all the people he wanted to. The company is all he has now, so I wonder what he will do if he loses that?! Also, soldier boy doesn't seem to have full control of his omni-beam, so Butcher and Hughie better ration their temp-v with Maeve gone!
@@Blackadam876 Yes,like Butcher probably isn't as strong as Homelander. I think Homelander could easily kill this 2 if Soldier boy wasn't here. The only thing Homelander needs to do is play smart and separate everybody next time they fought and kill them 1 vs 1. None of them can do shit against him 1 vs 1,even Soldier Boy.
Homelander/Stormfront (the sadistic OP individual with no qualms ab hurting innocents) Hughie/Starlight (the young, kind, optimistic soul - at first, anyway - who develops a thick skin starts showing backbone and moral ambiguity) Butcher/Maeve (the hard ass with regular smartass jabs + a soft side for their respective younger companion that helps make them better ppl) Soldier Boy/Kimiko (the Supe wild card that most of the boys were against working with and for good reason) Not to mention the fact that 3/4 pairs become involved at some point in one way or another
@@RealHajimeHinata it really shows just how much of a monster Homelander is. Soldier Boy's powers, like Queen Maeve's, are super strength and durability. All supes have that, but those two are on an entirely different level since it's their actual superpower. Maeve completely pummeled Stormfront on raw strength. And Homelander is completely overpowering both Soldier Boy and Butcher (who also gets insane strength). Not to mention that Maeve was just annoying to him and easily overpowered her when he got a bit serious in their actual fight. And also add laser sight and flight. Homelander is a god among supes, let alone men.
Homelander having to fly away from fear like that really speaks volumes. He got humbled here. He's never experienced being manhandled like that his entire life.
*humbled* soilders boy was the one that got humbled, he talked mad shit to homelander and still got his ass kicked even though it was a 3V1, Butcher even with homelander powers still didn't stand a chance either, Hughie kind of didn't really do anything
@@zamasu3563 Hughie's punch was still enough to offset Homelander and distract him enough, so it was exactly what was needed. If Soldier Boy would of finished charging, Homelander would of died.
@@zamasu3563 uh oh we found the home lander fanboy 😂😂, homelander even though he thinks he’s “at the top of the food chain” was put in the corner so bad he had to fly away, he DID get humbled.
@@Bardriguez ya I mean if you put a bear (apex predator) in a room with 3 monkeys who had guns. Ya , the bear would probably not want to get killed. But in this case, homelander was whooping soilders boy and butcher, it's only when Hughie showed up did they stand a chance. Which btw, there only chance was for butcher and Hughie to fucking die, so ya, not really a win on their part either.
Lamplighter: Dead. Translucent: Dead. A-Train: Dead. (Probably) Maeve: MIA Black Noir: AWOL Deep: STILL THERE! Homelander: Feeling the walls closing in. Nowhere to go but corners. With a man who can break steel. Starlight: Quit.
Homelander is so alone and having someone like deep as a teammate is just adding insult to injury. And He got his ass beaten and was second away from being grilled, so he is scared as fuck
I’m still waiting on Noir to do something big. It doesn’t necessarily have to be like the comics, but I still want something huge out of him in the show.
3:33 I love butchers bloodied smile. He’s finally able to fight back against the man he hates more than anything in this world who fucked his life up. On a side note I loved how butcher told hughie to get out when SB was getting ready to blast HL like if the blast was going to kill them all he wanted to ensure hughies safety but he wants to see HL destroyed jus like butcher does they’re in this together.
I actually think homelander handled himself pretty well for a guy who’s barely had a proper fight, let alone against 3 other supes. His ego is definitely still damaged though cuz he still kinda got his ass beat
@@CLYDE0126 he doesn’t have any weaknesses besides a big ass ego most powerful supe on the show escaped a building before it a exploded and escaped from 3 dudes that wanna kill him he is op af
In diabolical it was shown that homelander basically had these guys that were like 2 his size come and beat the shit outta him on a regular basis so he probably learned most of his actual combat skills from there seeing how everyone he fights in the show before soldier boy have all been against supes way weaker than him or regular civilians that are also wayy weaker than him
I agree but he had plot armor. 1v1 Butcher should have won. Beyond the 'I will give everything and die without a care' approach along with a lifetime of actually fighting 'worthy' opponents would have meant he would be stronger (because they are stolen powers afterall) add in the other 2 and it would have been no contest
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how brilliantly "Antony Starr" plays Homelander. He's one of the scariest superhero villains I think I've seen in a long time, so evil and psychotic.
if butcher took homelanders beam and walked it off so can soldier boy who is more powerful than butcher is kripke even said it himself that soldier boy is as powerful as homelander, if you ever wrestled I'm high school or in the collegiate level then you would know that when you co up against someone your size you are equal strength and weight that's what it was here, you can tell they were equal in strength because they both caught each other's punches and were at a stalemate however soldier boy being held captive for 40 years has definitely lost his step but what is lost can be found in the end soldier boy left honelanders face bruised just like his ego, round 2 is going to be more exciting
@@HilltopperTA soldier boy has been kept in captivity for 40 years, obviously he is rusty, just wait til round 2 you are gonna love what he does trust me
Homelander's reactions to Hughie jumping in, naked, and getting a hit in were hilarious. Great fight scene - the way it's been building to this. Hopefully we see an epic rematch.
I got massive goosebumps when butcher said "scorched earth". The sheer shock and surprise that everyone is feeling is so well incapsulated in this scene. Homelanders general WTF, Butcher's euphoria of being able to harm his nemesis - what an incredible episode.
@@kenthefele113 Yeah... That particular " *I'm about to DIE* 💀 with *Wee Hughie's completely naked next to ME!* (The Homelander 🦅🇺🇲)" here seems to be pretty natch to me, bro...
@@CSWdenji69 Alright then, in fact that *he's actually fears about his power would gets taken away from him* right 🤔? Well then, it makes some senses about it...
At least this scared Homelander. All it would take would be one more to join in like Starlight and they could have finished him. It also gauges how strong Homelander really is. I don't think we've seen Homelander do any real feats of strength. Also Soldier Boy is an expert fighter, Homelander is not. If anything Homelander is going to be pretty darn scared.
Agreed, even If they don't end up killing HL (Which they probably won't) this has left him scared and his public image will probably end up being annihilated for the remainder of the season, leading Into Season 4 were It's going to be the remainder of the Supes along with HL's clone Black Noir left to kill him.
Honestly, this makes the whole series pointless, with so many supes around why is everybody afraid of Homelander when only a few people would have to team up to beat him
@@eurasianbrother1710 actually we can, the characters are completely original with some having original powers like starlight. Marvel and DC are dog shit, one is being pushed around by Disney corporates being forces to make cringey kids TV shows like Ms Marvel and butcher movies like DR Strange multiverse of madness, While DC, arguably doing a lot better now, has made mostly dog shit movies with the exception of "the joker" which was just a Taxi Driver rip off and also The Batman, which was trying wayyyy to hard to try and be like OG dark knight.
I love how Soldier Boy makes fun of Homelander wearing a cape and then during the fight he actually uses the cape to yank Homelander back to the ground.
I love how this was put together each of their strength playing into the fight. You have Butchers insane tolerance to pain and willingness to die as long as he can kill homelander mixed in with the similar power set they you have Soldier boy with his comparable strength and his ability to fight compensating for the difference in strength. Lastly you have Huey who while being nothing compared to the rest of them can still contribute by sneak attacking them…
A strong message was sent to Homelander in this fight and I'm excited to see how the rest of season pans out. Butcher and SB are better hand to hand fighters than Homelander, however superhuman abilities equal the playing field in a fight. Faster reflexes and enhanced strength combined with durability make things way more difficult and add another level to combat. It's the same kind of situation if Wonder woman and Batman fought Superman. The combined experience of fighting is wayyyy higher than Superman but his abilities tilt the odds in has favor tremendously! Butcher was the wild card in this fight since has no issues doing whatever it takes to win and it was dope to Finally see them all clash not to mention I wonder what a fully active and rested SB fight would look like? He's been locked away for 40 years and has NOT been active and used the laser before this fight so I'm curious....
@@edgehanger8558 Saying SB was tired and didn't use full power is just an assumption. I don't think they made this scene to show Homlander just fighting a weak SB, and there will be a rematch with a strong version. The scene demonstrated exactly how powerful each of them is.
Agreed, I was relieved that they showed if anything he would have won the 1v1 with soldier boy, and even the 2v1 against soldier boy and butcher until hughie showed up and he was overwhelmed. It manages to keep him as a terrifying antagonist while also showing him vulnerable (physically) for the first time. Such a cool scene
Honestly people give Homelander shit for flying away and getting his ass kicked, but I was impressed with how well he did. He only ran away when he was about to fucking die
1v3 and solo'ed both Soldier Boy and Butcher, and even proved to be strong enough to overwhelm both Soldier Boy and Butcher, however all three was too much. Not strong enough to outright kill him still, but enough to hold him down long enough to depower him...were it not for his flight
Butcher's bloody smile is just perfect, he knew Homelander still outmatched him but he couldn't give a fuck. Just landing blows on him and being able to hurt him was enough.
@@trevturp6891 Because that's what happened. When they first came together Homelander landed more hits, and after that it took Soldier Boy's help to physically overpower him and even then Homelander got the better of them both and had him pinned against the wall. It then took Hughie to knock Homelander off him. They were only matched with their heat vision.
Homelander's final scream to escape was such a savage moment!!! Using all his will to escape from that single moment that could've resulted in his life ending...
That cape pull gives me Man of Steel vibes when Zod uppercut Superman in the air. Stops his ascend a second later and starts to pull the dude and his cape and threw him to them buildings lol
Best episode by far. This scene had me jumping up and down yelling at 1 am in my apartment like a child. Like everything else in the show it was so well done, so satisfying. The funny part is this was the 2nd time they got me like that with a fight scene, the first being the one vs. Stormfront, obviously to a lesser extent. This is the best show on tv right now. Antoni Starr and the show as a whole both deserve Emmys. I'd make a case for Karl Urban as well. And as a big Supernatural fan, seeing Jensen Ackles excel elsewhere is the icing on the cake. This show is the sole reason I have Amazon Prime.
I love how Butcher smiles during his fisticuffs with Homelander. Because finally-FINALLY-he's able to *hurt* Homelander. And he gets to do it with his own two hands.

@@shahriarhakim6673 It was more of a mental defeat if anything. He still had the upper hand against Soldier Boy. It’s just that Homelander is a coward under pressure.
3v1 with soldier boy as one of them, and he still beat the shit out of them and got out form under them, I’d say he wasn’t scarred when being held down just unbelievably pissed
Makes me proud of Hughie(even though it was mostly the Temp V) that if it weren’t for him, Homelander would not have had his face kissing the floor. Unfortunately, our boy in blue is still on top of the food chain but not for long
I absolutely loved this fight. Homelander actually had to fight with his true strength and we finally got to see a real fight out of him since his life was at risk for probably the first time in the series. Can't wait to see how this one plays out.
@@J_M_V_0164 And then what? How long can Butcher keep outrunning Homelander after that? If Soldier Boy dies, the show can pretty much end because there's no one else there to stop Homelander and having another season of Butcher just trying to stay alive sounds boring.
I like how after everyone hates butcher on S3 like he’s no better than homelander but hughie still understood what he was going through and butcher treated him the worse and hughie was still going to be there for him tell the very end
He knows How strong homelander is so he was also basically willing to die In order to stop homelander Since he was also the same guy to at one point stand up to homelander When he had the Cast on his arm
I'm actually glad The Deep is just there lmao. He doesn't know how to fight but he's just there and I love it, adds so much character. The 7 is now just The 2 lmao, Homelander and The Deep, because A Train is most definitely probably dead, and even if he wasn't. He wouldn't run again and risk it all just to run fast, he would probably quit. Plus. The Deep might even quit too seeing how Homelander is acting. Man, Homelander really screwed himself up.
@@Kometheus He didn't lose his powers, overcharging his heart by taking extra compound V caused damage to it meaning he could have heart failure at any time.
@@BigBossZUCO Noir I feel has ties more to Stan Edgar than Homelander. It is clear Homelander getting played and somewhere down the line the plan Stan had for years will unravel.
3:32 Butcher's wicked smile made my day. He knew he was strong but wanted to test his powers against HL and liked it. Simultaneously, he is letting HL know "Haha b!tch, you ain't sh!t"
I actually felt like Homelander was trying hard with Butcher than with Soldier Boy. But my man Hughie literally stole the spotlight. Hope he gets a suit onetime.
@@TheRahulJL Imo, HL was testing SB because for HL it was a contest of who's better. But against Butcher he gave his all because he wanted to annihilate him. Plus, I think HL was also jealous that Butcher got the same powers as him so he's not special anymore which made him extra angry. For Hughie, I think being naked has a different significance as all his life he was hiding and was not entirely content with himself as he was told he "didn't have the fight." So being naked signifies he's finally comfortable in his own skin.
3:07 i love how Homelander's suit got slightly damaged by Butcher's heat vision, cause no one would ever think there is someone with the same power so they never even bothered making a suit which can deal with such damage
When Butcher came in to help, it was an epic moment. When Hughie came in, at that point it was hilarious seeing Homelander be hit from all sides. At that point, even he was looking like "you gotta be kidding me".
@@Shatter149 He's probably able to filter what he hears so there was no need to check if a human who was lasered in the chest was still alive. Plus, he had Soldier Boy to worry about.
@@LucDutra92 thats just an error to the scripting. at this point he still believes billy is a weak as a normal human, when he lasered him he literally absorbed that laser and there's no blood. i dont believe homalander can be that dumb.
I like the first thing we saw is the small guy asking for help and we all know Homelander has super hearing so he clearly intentionally stompped on him lmao
This scene made me tear up the first time. I couldn’t stop rewinding to watch it. Over and over and over. You could tell the show is succeeding with the budget.
@@chilliobones5348 That happens when a tv show gets too good for your eyes. The feeling when it satiates the part of yourself that marvel and dc couldn't ever.
I like that despite being a jerk to his team and a cocky guy, Soldier Boy is extremely competent when it comes to combat. Sometimes shows make the jerk leader an idiot but im glad he’s powerful
We saw in the flashback that Soldier Boy may be an a**, but damn does he know how to fight! He doesn't seem as strong as Homelander but his combat experience definitely gives him an edge.
We know he fought in WW2 and Vietnam, probably fought in Korea too. He has leaps and bounds more real world combat experience than HL will ever have. It’ll probably be Black Noir who stops him
Amazon did this on purpose! They hyped us up for a whole week about the orgy, "Herogasm". But really they knew the audience would be LOCKED in to the fight between Soldier Boy and Homelander. Then you add Butcher and Hughie too!?!? This is the best episode in the whole series so far
Some kinda double meaning there too Butcher, Hughie and Soldier Boy holding down HomeLander And Butcher telling SB to do it But SB having some kind of Performance Issue cant blow his load. And after HomeLander flew Butcher, Hughie and SB lying there exhausted
I love how Billy fights Homelander. The whole 1 V 1 between the two is a straight up middle finger to him. He’d rather tank every hit Homelander throws his way with his face than to dodge just to show that not only is Homelander not invincible, but he’s not tough or strong. All he’s got are his superpowers, but you give someone like Billy even a fraction of that, and he’s almost at his level on purpose.
@@gabagoo7791 Ya homelander is the most powerful supe, but don't know to use his powers... If Butcher had that power, he would have killed all of them..
@@gabagoo7791 Perhaps, but I mostly agree with Da BLASINGBRYAN. Butcher let Homelander punch him in the face and shrugged it off as a deliberate intimidation tactic. Same when he grabbed Homeboy's throat and grinned at him when he couldn't pull his hand off.
@@danieldickson8591 why was butcher dodging punches during the fight then? also is butcher just not trying to punch homelander? he kept missing, SB did way better in the fist fight and landed way more hits. Homelander is way above butcher, homelander>>> SB>>> butcher

Marvel wishes they could portray such a compelling, hilarious, brutal and emotional fight as this and fit it all into one room without it having to divulge into a CGI fever dream. Spectacular scene.
@@ragemonkey117 ok I love the choreography in winter solider, civil war and infinity war.. Still don't come close to this scene despite the budget, hope that helps. Closest Marvel has come is Cap vs Iron Man, or the excellent choreography between bucky and Cap, amazing
Wrong... Infact infinity war fights were above anything boys did... That iron man vs Thanos fight is still one of the best superhero fights I have ever seen
I love that crazy, berserk smile Billy does after eating those punches like crème brûlée Like “that’s right, fucko, I’ve done this fighting shit before. YOU AINT”
I just realized that the powers each character has can easily be interpreted as each individuals personalities. Homelander and Butcher are very similar in character and their powers also show this. The differences between them are Homelander's belief of being above all humans explaining why he can fly and butcher can't. Homelander's paranoia also pairs well with his super hearing which is something else that butcher seems to lack. Hughie's teleportation really shows his pathetic and run away mentality that we see at the beginning of the show, however we see his cowardice turn into courage this season and that is reflected with the way he uses his powers. Soldier boy's power is a result of his time. He is a straight up representation of the hard headed masculine men of the time period he grew up in with Strength being the only focus.
Reminds me of the show “Misfits” about the teen delinquents who get powers, but the powers are tied in to their strongest desires and personalities… The show doesn’t outright tell you this but it’s REALLY obvious as time goes on. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes The Boys. It’s a wild and funny take on the “superhero” genre. It doesn’t take itself as seriously as The Boys but it’s one of the best.
I will never not love Homelander’s reaction to Butcher using powers and then when Hughie teleports in completely buck ass naked he just looks confused as hell 😂😂
would be hilarious if it turned out Butcher had gained the power of flight too. Imagine homelander flies off, thinks he's safe and then..."oi" 😂

God this fight was so fucking good.
Soldier Boy blocking and deflecting blows because he actually knows how to fight, but still being shocked that homelander is stronger than him.
Homelander just throwing sluggers cause this is the first time he’s fighting someone in his weight class and is a mix of anger and freaking out.
Hughie joining the fight but doing sneak attacks cause he can help but isn’t at that level.
And Butcher taking every hit, fighting him head on just to show he can and show homelander that he isn’t invincible.
God this was so fucking good.
I think soldier boy is actually on the same level that Homelander he just got tired more quickly because he used his beam before on the twins

@@tunasingot6475 actually it's by Vought

I like how homelander didn't question Hughie popping up or being naked, just went for the kill 😂
He was probably far more confused how Hughie managed to push him
He was like wtf 🤣🤣🤣
That corniness belongs in the MCU
He had a confused look on his face like, ah fuck you too?
For all his faults, Homelander actually reacts pretty well to the unexpected. His long term planning sucks, but he's pretty good with "Ok, this is happening. Let's stay calm and deal with it."
I think homelander handled himself really well for someone that's never faced anything that was a threat to him. You seen the fear in his eyes throughout the fight. And the moment he was hissing like a rabid f****** animal in a corner was great acting!
I'm hoping butcher becomes the comic equivalent of what black noir should be. Noir is supposed to be a clone of HL and kills him in the comic. Butcher has almost the same powers as HL but unlike Noir he isn't a little stronger than HL but in a team up he can kill him. In the comic butcher kills black noir after noir kills HL. The military bombs noir until he's only got a leg and a arm and half his head than butcher takes his crow bar and pulls his brain and spine out to finish Noir for good. They can definitely integrate that into the show and have him finish HL well juiced up on compound V. They just need queen Maeve instead of hughie on their team.
@@dontcare7086 dude that just ain't going to happen and they have talked about it lot of times, even part of the cast dislike the comics like Antony, the only probable thing that they will take from the comics ending is Butcher giving the last hit to Homelander and Hughie taking out Butcher's life

Its a bit of a toss up. I believe Butcher has better fighting skills hands down, but I think his body is still adjusting to the super powers, Its the only thing that can explain why the three three of them didn't rock HL.
Homelander's initial confusion at Hughie being buck-naked then transitioning into "Okay I'm going to kill you anyways" is hilarious
Bro hates hughie😂

I got to say it, the range of emotions that Anthony Starr displays here are amazing: cocky, powerful, hateful, actual concern, genuine surprised, animal agression, masterclass in acting a villain
Dude deserves more awards for his performance. I see why he maybe hasn't, drinking breast milk and all, but the guy is INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLY talented. I don't think I've loved an actor's performance more since Marlon Brando's Vito Corleone, every scene he kills it.
I want him and Giancarlo Esposito to work together more. Giancarlo being the closest second, their scenes together are fantastic. But Giancarlo doesn't get as many to show range. Really glad he came back this last season and is playing Stan differently.
I love how when they were holding him down Homelander had absolutely no idea what to do. He was panicking like crazy firing up the laser and screaming even though he knew he wouldn`t hit anyone with the lasers. Insane props to Anthony Starr for portaying a God amongst men feeling genuine fear and panic for the first time in his life.
He spams it so much it was his first response
Couldn't have said it better myself
I don't think that was fear or panic, that was being momentarily caught off guard. 1v1 he was handling SB, even when Butcher jumped in and itnwas 2v1 he was doing good, only when Hughie popped up did he falter and get overwhelmed. But even then, all three of them together couldn't hold him down and finish the job.
@@michaelgamble2848 An obvious gamer
That was the first time in his life someone was able to check him physically. It took 3 supes but still.
I love when they’re holding him down there’s something real animalistic with homelander, the way he’s panicking and thrashing with his lasers ready to go. Like an animal backed into a corner showing their claws or teeth but just as afraid. That desperate scream he does too 😚👌🏾
Yeah i got that impression too
Homelander prob couldnt use his lasers cuz Soldier Boy's blast can suppress surrounding Supe's abilities while hes charging up (ex. TNT twins powers failing when confronted by SB), it would also explains why the Boys werent able to restrain HL bc their powers would also be suppressed making them weaker in general
@@Zimo0o Nah the twins powers failed due to them being has beens, not because of SB. If that was the case Homiegrounder here wouldn't be able to fly away
@@Zimo0o nah nah, soldier boy can only blast off the power after the beam ( which explained why the tiny guy stays tiny) The TNT twins power havent been used for a long time and requires great form from both of team ( they are both fat and hate eachother so much now)

The hype around the Herogasm event itself though was disappointing. Was expecting something way more fucked up than just a simple orgy
Ye but they were hyping up the orgy side and tbh it wasn’t as extreme as they were building up
The mental fuckery of losing for the first time.. I could see Homelander taking a shit ton of Compound V as steroids to make sure he never loses again.

They both are war made, Homelander its only powers and without them he probably would not land single hit
They Jumped Homelander pretty good. That level coordination was great.
A good mirror image in this fight was seeing HL give a manic smile while catching Soldier Boy’s punches, and then Butcher taking HL’s hits and giving him a manic smile. They really are extremely alike, even in fights. Butcher roared while clashing lasers, and HL growled. They fought like animals, and I’m all for it.
I kinda felt like the reason Butcher roared at that time was from the pain of using his laser eyes for such an extended period and they were beginning to burn. While HL only growled because his tolerance was much higher due to him being used to it. Hence why SB snatched HL down before he could gain the advantage.

I think a nice little detail no one has really been talking about is Homelander’s satisfaction in finding out it was, in fact, all about him. Just the small little ego boost it gives his already infinite ego was a nice touch.
And makes it even better when he loses the fight, he also realizes the fact that he is no longer the ultimate supe, and he can be killed.
@@christianblair8663 YES
i don’t think calling his ego infinite is a good characterization. i think his ego is fragile and weak. he has infinite excuses, infinite coping mechanisms. that’s what narcissism really is- the pain and trauma of feeling inadequate to your very core (narcissists don’t really even have cores, they have no real sense of self).
homelander is infinitely capable of spinning stories. it’s why he works so well in the media. he’s intelligent but he understands mass psychology way better than he understands individuals, and he can use the stories of mass psychology to justify his place in the world. the archetype of the hero, the god. these are soothing images that he uses to massage his broken self-image. this is why narcissists tend to be so grandiose. not only is it just a nice thing to think about yourself -you’re the center of everything, you’re very important and powerful- it allows you to think in large social terms, which narcissists are better equipped for than the small scale real lives that people live on an individual level.
this clip actually showcases this exact dynamic of narcissistic pseudo-empathy. homelander is on the verge of tears just by seeing soldier boy. as a child he was raised on movies and PR. in this moment he’s confronted with the three-dimensional version of one of the few things he was capable of empathizing with, and now that he’s here he hates homelander and wants to kill him. you can see he starts to well up immediately.
if you know a narcissist you know that they cry just fine at movies but they can’t empathize for you. this show portrays narcissism perfectly it’s really incredible.

It's good to see him fight period. We've never seen homelander actually fight someone until now, despite all the people he's killed.Supersonic got killed offscreen, and everyone else either didn't have any powers or didn't even try to fight back
It's the fact that he had to put in _extreme_ effort to get out from underneath them - that's the real key. Now imagine Maeve was in there too; he'd have very little chance of escaping. He knows he's in very real danger, especially if anybody can be a supe now.

yeah man, this scene was fantastic holy
Damn, you said 2 strong people and Hughie like he was an afterthought, lmao! Nah, but for real--don't forget, he got super strength along with the teleportation powers!
I interpreted the scream more like a grunt when you lift heavy. Meaning it was desperation, but the scream showed more that he was using everything he had instead of fear.
Although he may have been scared I think the scream was more indicative of the effort he had to exert to get out.
It sounded like Homelander was beyond frustrated and pissed that all the folks he wanted to un-alive in brutal fashion have all somehow managed to challenge him in this way! It's all falling apart, and he can't even enact his plan of murdering all the people he wanted to. The company is all he has now, so I wonder what he will do if he loses that?! Also, soldier boy doesn't seem to have full control of his omni-beam, so Butcher and Hughie better ration their temp-v with Maeve gone!
@@Blackadam876 Yes,like Butcher probably isn't as strong as Homelander. I think Homelander could easily kill this 2 if Soldier boy wasn't here. The only thing Homelander needs to do is play smart and separate everybody next time they fought and kill them 1 vs 1. None of them can do shit against him 1 vs 1,even Soldier Boy.
I just realized the way Homelander ran away is just like Stormfront ran away from Maeve, Kimiko, and Starlight.
He definitely put up a way better fight than Stormfront did against their respective opponents.
Boys get it done
Homelander/Stormfront (the sadistic OP individual with no qualms ab hurting innocents)
Hughie/Starlight (the young, kind, optimistic soul - at first, anyway - who develops a thick skin starts showing backbone and moral ambiguity)
Butcher/Maeve (the hard ass with regular smartass jabs + a soft side for their respective younger companion that helps make them better ppl)
Soldier Boy/Kimiko (the Supe wild card that most of the boys were against working with and for good reason)
Not to mention the fact that 3/4 pairs become involved at some point in one way or another
Because they both knew they WERE going to die in that fight
@@RealHajimeHinata it really shows just how much of a monster Homelander is.
Soldier Boy's powers, like Queen Maeve's, are super strength and durability. All supes have that, but those two are on an entirely different level since it's their actual superpower. Maeve completely pummeled Stormfront on raw strength.
And Homelander is completely overpowering both Soldier Boy and Butcher (who also gets insane strength). Not to mention that Maeve was just annoying to him and easily overpowered her when he got a bit serious in their actual fight. And also add laser sight and flight. Homelander is a god among supes, let alone men.
3:05 his reaction always caught me off guard💀

@@zamasu3563 uh oh we found the home lander fanboy 😂😂, homelander even though he thinks he’s “at the top of the food chain” was put in the corner so bad he had to fly away, he DID get humbled.
@@zamasu3563 Homelander ran away, he was scared. If he is all of that you mentioned he would've stayed and finished the job.
@@Bardriguez ya I mean if you put a bear (apex predator) in a room with 3 monkeys who had guns. Ya , the bear would probably not want to get killed. But in this case, homelander was whooping soilders boy and butcher, it's only when Hughie showed up did they stand a chance. Which btw, there only chance was for butcher and Hughie to fucking die, so ya, not really a win on their part either.
Lamplighter: Dead.
Translucent: Dead.
A-Train: Dead. (Probably)
Maeve: MIA
Black Noir: AWOL
Deep: STILL THERE!
Homelander: Feeling the walls closing in. Nowhere to go but corners. With a man who can break steel.
Starlight: Quit.
The team has always been a mess, tho.
THE LORD OF THE SEVEN SEAS WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL
Homelander is so alone and having someone like deep as a teammate is just adding insult to injury. And He got his ass beaten and was second away from being grilled, so he is scared as fuck
But edgar was 1000% right, shit is collapsing instantaneously with homelander in charge.
I’m still waiting on Noir to do something big. It doesn’t necessarily have to be like the comics, but I still want something huge out of him in the show.
3:53 the tag team punch is so satisfying
Just like mk 9
Too bad they missed..
The actor who plays Homelander deserves an Emmy. Absolutely brilliant!
Easily the bast actor and part of the show imo.
Anthony Starr. Numb nuts
Fact
I thought homelander plays Anthony Starr
Crazy I just found out this is the same actor who played billy in without a paddle
3:33 I love butchers bloodied smile. He’s finally able to fight back against the man he hates more than anything in this world who fucked his life up. On a side note I loved how butcher told hughie to get out when SB was getting ready to blast HL like if the blast was going to kill them all he wanted to ensure hughies safety but he wants to see HL destroyed jus like butcher does they’re in this together.
If starlight wasn’t so stupid she could have helped them fight and win but no she’s just bitchin about killing soldier boy or the truth or whatever
I really thought you were gonna say "who fucked his wife"
I love when butcher makes crazy faces and smiles then rocks his head.

@@CLYDE0126 bro he isn’t watered down he kinda op
@@CLYDE0126 I don’t see how it’s different from the comics and plus soldier boy is the homelander 1.0 so that’s only reason why he didn’t die so quick
@@CLYDE0126 he doesn’t have any weaknesses besides a big ass ego most powerful supe on the show escaped a building before it a exploded and escaped from 3 dudes that wanna kill him he is op af
In diabolical it was shown that homelander basically had these guys that were like 2 his size come and beat the shit outta him on a regular basis so he probably learned most of his actual combat skills from there seeing how everyone he fights in the show before soldier boy have all been against supes way weaker than him or regular civilians that are also wayy weaker than him
I agree but he had plot armor. 1v1 Butcher should have won. Beyond the 'I will give everything and die without a care' approach along with a lifetime of actually fighting 'worthy' opponents would have meant he would be stronger (because they are stolen powers afterall) add in the other 2 and it would have been no contest
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how brilliantly "Antony Starr" plays Homelander.
He's one of the scariest superhero villains I think I've seen in a long time, so evil and psychotic.
Antony Starr deserves all the grammies for his unbelievably good work.
Homelander was seconds away from being done, gg'd. Soldier boy catches him with that beam it's over. Wow this episode was incredible
very last scene shows him bruised which means he isn't as invulnerable as they said he was those three would of killed him for sure
if butcher took homelanders beam and walked it off so can soldier boy who is more powerful than butcher is kripke even said it himself that soldier boy is as powerful as homelander, if you ever wrestled I'm high school or in the collegiate level then you would know that when you co up against someone your size you are equal strength and weight that's what it was here, you can tell they were equal in strength because they both caught each other's punches and were at a stalemate however soldier boy being held captive for 40 years has definitely lost his step but what is lost can be found in the end soldier boy left honelanders face bruised just like his ego, round 2 is going to be more exciting
@@johnnynutpunch4972 I don't agree. Homelander was beating SB 1 on 1 within a minute of fighting. I think he's strongest followed by SB then Butcher

Great fight scene - the way it's been building to this. Hopefully we see an epic rematch.

Homelander probably hated the fact loser boy Hughie got a hit in. Butcher and SB fine, on some level he respects them....but Hughie??!?!

@@CSWdenji69
Alright then, in fact that *he's actually fears about his power would gets taken away from him* right 🤔? Well then, it makes some senses about it...
At least this scared Homelander. All it would take would be one more to join in like Starlight and they could have finished him. It also gauges how strong Homelander really is. I don't think we've seen Homelander do any real feats of strength. Also Soldier Boy is an expert fighter, Homelander is not. If anything Homelander is going to be pretty darn scared.
Agreed, even If they don't end up killing HL (Which they probably won't) this has left him scared and his public image will probably end up being annihilated for the remainder of the season, leading Into Season 4 were It's going to be the remainder of the Supes along with HL's clone Black Noir left to kill him.
Honestly, this makes the whole series pointless, with so many supes around why is everybody afraid of Homelander when only a few people would have to team up to beat him

I bet he was OH COME ON YOU TOO
I love how Soldier Boy makes fun of Homelander wearing a cape and then during the fight he actually uses the cape to yank Homelander back to the ground.
No capes, as Edna Mode once said
Apparently capes are only a boon to heroes when they're non-powered billionaires.
Lol yea
@@Dukesparrow1999Superman gets a pass because he’s so strong
@@BaulFoodmanedits and Batman, because he's cool
I love how this was put together each of their strength playing into the fight. You have Butchers insane tolerance to pain and willingness to die as long as he can kill homelander mixed in with the similar power set they you have Soldier boy with his comparable strength and his ability to fight compensating for the difference in strength. Lastly you have Huey who while being nothing compared to the rest of them can still contribute by sneak attacking them…
Biggie has super strength and durability just like homelander butcher and soldier boy
Butcher knows how to fight too and pain tolerance is nothing special none of them really feel pain like normal people would
@@keytendegraef982 Hughie does not have str and dur like HL and SB and Butcher dude got winded by Statlight's flash but hes stronger than usual sure
A strong message was sent to Homelander in this fight and I'm excited to see how the rest of season pans out. Butcher and SB are better hand to hand fighters than Homelander, however superhuman abilities equal the playing field in a fight. Faster reflexes and enhanced strength combined with durability make things way more difficult and add another level to combat. It's the same kind of situation if Wonder woman and Batman fought Superman. The combined experience of fighting is wayyyy higher than Superman but his abilities tilt the odds in has favor tremendously! Butcher was the wild card in this fight since has no issues doing whatever it takes to win and it was dope to Finally see them all clash not to mention I wonder what a fully active and rested SB fight would look like? He's been locked away for 40 years and has NOT been active and used the laser before this fight so I'm curious....
@@edgehanger8558 Saying SB was tired and didn't use full power is just an assumption. I don't think they made this scene to show Homlander just fighting a weak SB, and there will be a rematch with a strong version. The scene demonstrated exactly how powerful each of them is.
Didn't expect Homelander to fight this good. Holding off all 3 of them at the same time was impressive.
Yeah it was pretty cool to see
Well he did get overwhelmed this fight was just like the fight I. season two when the girls jumped storm front
He lasted 4 mins in at 3v1 not bad
Agreed, I was relieved that they showed if anything he would have won the 1v1 with soldier boy, and even the 2v1 against soldier boy and butcher until hughie showed up and he was overwhelmed. It manages to keep him as a terrifying antagonist while also showing him vulnerable (physically) for the first time. Such a cool scene
Didn't really fight hughie. Hughie was just the distraction. It was really more of two against one with someone else in the way.
He really is the upgrade. 1vs3 and took it like a boss.
Honestly people give Homelander shit for flying away and getting his ass kicked, but I was impressed with how well he did. He only ran away when he was about to fucking die
1v3 and solo'ed both Soldier Boy and Butcher, and even proved to be strong enough to overwhelm both Soldier Boy and Butcher, however all three was too much. Not strong enough to outright kill him still, but enough to hold him down long enough to depower him...were it not for his flight
Honestly I was not expecting Homelander to have fight experience. I was pleasantly surprised by him here.
So true man
He ran like woman solider boy took on 7 and did glitch nor lose
Butcher's bloody smile is just perfect, he knew Homelander still outmatched him but he couldn't give a fuck. Just landing blows on him and being able to hurt him was enough.
Homelander didn't outmatch Butcher, Butcher outmatched Homelander. And why did you think it was the other way around?
@@trevturp6891 Because that's what happened. When they first came together Homelander landed more hits, and after that it took Soldier Boy's help to physically overpower him and even then Homelander got the better of them both and had him pinned against the wall. It then took Hughie to knock Homelander off him. They were only matched with their heat vision.

That cape pull gives me Man of Steel vibes when Zod uppercut Superman in the air. Stops his ascend a second later and starts to pull the dude and his cape and threw him to them buildings lol
Hughie did more damage to Homelander than Starlight did to Soldier Boy 💀
Best episode by far. This scene had me jumping up and down yelling at 1 am in my apartment like a child. Like everything else in the show it was so well done, so satisfying. The funny part is this was the 2nd time they got me like that with a fight scene, the first being the one vs. Stormfront, obviously to a lesser extent. This is the best show on tv right now. Antoni Starr and the show as a whole both deserve Emmys. I'd make a case for Karl Urban as well. And as a big Supernatural fan, seeing Jensen Ackles excel elsewhere is the icing on the cake. This show is the sole reason I have Amazon Prime.
PREACH!!!!!

This show and Invincible are by far the best shows on Prime.

As a Supernatural kid, i feel you😩
I loved the show, and then Jensen got added, perfect.
When Homelander was pinned down, he looked like a demon being banished back to Hell. Give Antony Starr an Emmy already.
Just another day for Dean Winchester
Good thing Dean was doing it!
Don't forget - Homelander has super hearing. He knew exactly what he was doing at 0:04.

Then watch death battle Omni Man vs Homelander, it will make your day better
He wasn't scared in the fight scene tho. He was only scared when he saw that Soldier Boy was alive
it was a 3v1 pretty nuts he held his own
3v1 with soldier boy as one of them, and he still beat the shit out of them and got out form under them, I’d say he wasn’t scarred when being held down just unbelievably pissed

3:32 Butcher's wicked smile made my day.
He knew he was strong but wanted to test his powers against HL and liked it. Simultaneously, he is letting HL know "Haha b!tch, you ain't sh!t"
I actually felt like Homelander was trying hard with Butcher than with Soldier Boy. But my man Hughie literally stole the spotlight. Hope he gets a suit onetime.
@@TheRahulJL Imo, HL was testing SB because for HL it was a contest of who's better. But against Butcher he gave his all because he wanted to annihilate him. Plus, I think HL was also jealous that Butcher got the same powers as him so he's not special anymore which made him extra angry.
For Hughie, I think being naked has a different significance as all his life he was hiding and was not entirely content with himself as he was told he "didn't have the fight." So being naked signifies he's finally comfortable in his own skin.
This was definitely my favorite part. His facial acting in this role is top notch!
Hm was literally struggling with butcher in terms of strength and soldier boy was trash
3:07
i love how Homelander's suit got slightly damaged by Butcher's heat vision, cause no one would ever think there is someone with the same power so they never even bothered making a suit which can deal with such damage
Watching the shock on Homelander's face at the fact that he can be physically overpowered was great.
0:01 funnier when you realize homelander could probably hear him
I thought about that lol most likely did it on purpose😂
Oh believe me he did he just don’t give two 💩💩
When Butcher came in to help, it was an epic moment. When Hughie came in, at that point it was hilarious seeing Homelander be hit from all sides. At that point, even he was looking like "you gotta be kidding me".
Butcher's face at 3:33 is what true joy looks like. I hope to experience that one day.

He has the combat experience out of all the hero’s in the world
We know he fought in WW2 and Vietnam, probably fought in Korea too. He has leaps and bounds more real world combat experience than HL will ever have. It’ll probably be Black Noir who stops him

I LOVE how Jensen is playing soldier boy. The arrogance in this scene where they both know they’re the best is so entertaining
I just realized that the powers each character has can easily be interpreted as each individuals personalities.
Homelander and Butcher are very similar in character and their powers also show this. The differences between them are Homelander's belief of being above all humans explaining why he can fly and butcher can't. Homelander's paranoia also pairs well with his super hearing which is something else that butcher seems to lack.
Hughie's teleportation really shows his pathetic and run away mentality that we see at the beginning of the show, however we see his cowardice turn into courage this season and that is reflected with the way he uses his powers.
Soldier boy's power is a result of his time. He is a straight up representation of the hard headed masculine men of the time period he grew up in with Strength being the only focus.
Nailed it
Hughie's power is straight up his Cowardice turned Courage, useful for both running away and going at it
@@gabrielmoura419 most definetly.
Reminds me of the show “Misfits” about the teen delinquents who get powers, but the powers are tied in to their strongest desires and personalities…
The show doesn’t outright tell you this but it’s REALLY obvious as time goes on.
I highly recommend it to anyone who likes The Boys.
It’s a wild and funny take on the “superhero” genre. It doesn’t take itself as seriously as The Boys but it’s one of the best.
A-Train is also a coward, that's why his power is running away very fast
I will never not love Homelander’s reaction to Butcher using powers and then when Hughie teleports in completely buck ass naked he just looks confused as hell 😂😂
He's not just confused because he teleported in but also because he was actually able to push him
