THE BOYS is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It's the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about "The Seven," and their formiddable Vought backing.

This was the 1st time Homelander wasn't wearing either his superhero suit or being naked on the show.
Not really, They always show Kid Homelander in a grey jumper and sweatpants but that’s not antony starr’s adult Homelander so i get your point
Really I didn’t notice
@@therealmr.incredible3179homelander as in john as an adult
Actually we saw him in a black dress, although I guess that wasn’t technically him
@@therealmr.incredible3179 He was not The Homelander as a kid. He was John. He did not Become The Homelander till he an adult.
"Show me how smart you are."
"You took his fockin woifes son!"
Is this going to turn out like the 21st chapter of A Clockwork Orange?
Seeing Homelander in normal clothes is like seeing Batman on a beach on a sunny day
well they are basically the same anyway, both have cwazy fans defending them all the time
Batman 1966 did that once. Surf's Up, Joker's Under
Are you seriously comparing Homelander to Batman?!!? 😮
@@kingdavid6535
I mean put Batman on a sunny beach and tell me that doesn’t look wrong.
Red and blue while he's at it. It's a total nod to comic-book's model of how to depict the npc "the masses" character: scaling collective emotion/opinion to set the arc-driving mood of the story, naive to the writers needs. Where would X-Men be if the chief antagonist wasn't the hateful racist/species-ist humans as portrayed in the mutant saga? The mob will be numb if the writers need them to be.
Homelander: You're so smart. . . show me. . .
Sage: *Roasts him*
I mean, it looks like she knew that homelander needed something and he wouldn’t kill her just right there
And the fact that she actually knows that his father almost killed him and the fact that he does age is wild@@huffie4u
If you *feel* (you definitely don't think) that was roasting someone, then you might need some introspection.
@@mohabalserafe3795 Ehh, I don’t think it’s changing anything but good point
@@charlesiei6831sorry to break it down for you pal but that was a roast lol you probably don't think at all
"Smart enough to listen" was the most scary thing he has ever said. He is evolving.
I bet you thought real hard to make that comment. HuR Hur American is actually a RePuBliC. Shut the fuck up and go back to 4th grade you failed specimen of human intelligence, Have you ever actually paid attention or are you just a parrot for simplicity and ignorance?
2 weeks later he loses it to milk
Bros ego is so high he can only listen to the literal smartest person on earth😂
And then he devolves later in the season
I assume he went there to recruit Sage and just said what he thought she wanted to hear to get her on board.
4:36 Homelander is actually pretty smart. He said the exact thing that would lure a brainiac in.
That's what I thought, persuading someone like Sage to willingly do something he wants and she doesn't, without any threat is pretty smart, he knew what buttons to press and how.
@@Michau940 Social intelligence beating out Book intelligence
His problem isn't intelligence it's that all his life other people solved his problems or he lazered them. Soldier Boy was the 1st time he'd ever faced a supe he couldn't wipe the floor with. Also he is a raging narcissist.
@@spottedslash4256 I'm not sure that's what happened. I think HL saw a kindred soul. When she says that won't make you happy either. You get the sense that Sage knows that personally. Homelander is not playing her. He is making a genuine offer even if he likely can't keep it. What HL offers is excitement and a challenge. Part of excitement is the danger of Homelander's unpredictability.
@@samflory True but he has to make that enticing. Homelander has been trained to make speeches, and fake sincerity. Giving people what they want to hear, or to manipulate people's emotions . But you are right , that there maybe a mutual understanding so it may have been genuine
''May I come in?''
*Comes in before getting an answer*
he only respects Butcher enough to wait for an answer to that question.
it was simply rhetorical, she knew she couldnt refuse :))
The door opening up all the way is usually the answer
These people are just learning how humans work it's cool@@sephiroth8377
@@sephiroth8377no she still was in a state of surprise & suspicion. Homelander just slowly walked in & he was an unstoppable force so it was best for her to quickly yield.
I like how shes in a similar place mentally to Homelander.
He calls humans toys while she calls them clapping seals and shes genuinely interested in tearing down society aswell
And putting it in the hands of a narcissistic man child with a god complex. 😒
I agree! Although I think it isnt just humanity, it's supes too. No human matches her in intelligence, and neither does any supe out there either.
Clapping seals could be a way to describe a mass number of people who get caught up in herd mentality as well so not necessarily an anti-human expression. Homelander would see it that way though.
Yeah, it explains why she can see past the fact that Homelander's a man child
I like how homelander asks permition to enter in the homes of people that are not afraid of him like sage and butcher he respects butcher for hating him without any fear and he needs sage's help
I think it's because of the way he was born to he a PR figure. He starts entering the room before receiving for permission to enter so he's probably doing it out of muscle memory
He entered without hearing the answer😂
A bit like dracula
Homelander is a strange case. He intimidates everyone into submission, but the only way to gain his trust and respect is by resisting him. He only respects strong opponents.
You say that like he didn’t walk in without even hearing the answer first
“My fuckin WHAT?”
he was genuinly in shock she said that😂😂😂
😂
Notice the censor didn't catch it he said it so quick
He might not be as smart as her, but he's smart enough to both understand and manipulate her.
Social manipulation is a powerful thing
Pretty sure she is manipulating him. Reminder what happened to Caesar.
@@snitox Yeah I think it's a deliberate omission on her part that Caesar gets murdered by the men he thought were his friends and allies. She would absolutely know that part.
@@TheThoughtAssassin
She’s stoking his ego but yes thanks for reminding me
HL will get what’s coming to him by those closest to him
I assure you, she will likely end up being the one manipulating him in the end
I like how Homelander compares himself to Ceasar, not remembering how that story ended
But she does, clearly. (Of course if she were really as smart as all that she’d be more hesitant about describing Ancient Greece and the Roman Republic as democratic…)
@@sydney2396maybe she got a little ego to herself. Yk, Walter White was the smartest in BB, but also had a big ego.
@@sydney2396also she gotta act tough and show no fear of he might just laser her
You really think he didn't? Ceasar was murdered, but he left legacy large enough to influence millenias.
@Sydney2396 She may know that they’re not democracies, but Homelander clearly doesn’t. Makes more sense for her to lean into his ego instead of trying to be completely technically correct to the impulsive psychotic who can turn you into a fine paste.
"Smart enough to listen." Is a pretty fire line and moment tbh. I mean seriously, it's one of the few times Homelander can admit that he is in fact in no way smarter than someone else, and the only way to prove that he is indeed still smart, is that he can let go of his ego to listen to the one who is a thousand times smarter than him.
He was also smart enough to manipulate her into working for him you really have to give him credit
@@Grayfox354 Oh absolutely. I'm not saying he's not in control here I'm just saying that Homelander putting his ego aside is a rare sight
@@Grayfox354 He never manipulated her. He made her a clear open offer. No hidden messages. She is way too smart to be manipulated. I wouldn't wonder if she became the mastermind villain.
@Masanumi the easiest people to manipulate are those who believe themselves too smart to be manipulated. as egotistical as these two are, and despite their best wishes, they are both still human.
One of the few times homelander has shown a little humility.
Because she’s a POC female. You can’t go against them in any movies or games anymore. Didn’t you know?
@@mistermysteryman107 oh no the white boy has the fear characters that look like him are being "erased" despite still making up a giant majority of images in media on a global scale. Yet these small. Microcosms make you feel threatened...stop being so weak and crying like a girl...
Oh and the true main villain of the entire show who helped facilitate this kind of world the man who literallyn helped fund homelander's development and Raised Neuman to be the way she is--Stan Edgar--is a black man... But sure thing, kiddo. Now run along and kiss your cousin 🤡
Yeah, the prostate can do that to a man.
I doubt he's showing humility. He's just manipulating her and telling her what she wants to hear.
@@TheBerylknight perhaps not I can see your point of view but he says I’m smart enough to listen and indeed lets his decisions be overruled by her at times
I like how she's visably uneasy around him, yet she knows exactly what to say to de-escalate him from getting laser-happy. Hell of an actress
1:26 It's comforting to know that Homelander washes his hands after he uses the bathroom.
And actually surprising. He seems worried about germs but youd think hed be immune to it.
Homelander is also terrified of a prostate exam, he's just like me.
you think that's scary? well what happens to the doctors finger when he clenches?
Just remember, If it feels like more than 2 fingers it’s probably a D**k lol
It’s not that bad, have it done by a female doctor. Smaller fingers. 😅
Relax, they're doctors. Just don't get alarmed when they're rubbing both your shoulders during it... It's to loosen you up.... I was told.
@SilkyLew Did they whisper that in your ear when they 'told' you about that?😂
She's listening to a physics podcast at double speed while reading a book about why words are.
My goddess.
Glad I’m not the only once who noticed. Little details like that really authenticate the character. She is THAT smart.
@@Nicholas_Chen_ so just place a bunch of books around her room and therefore she must be super smart LOL no need to actually show it through story telling right ? I guarantee she'll barely get to use 'her ability' during the show
Because then you need to be at least as smart as the character you write. But it's easier to pile up a lot of books for a character that you have no idea about.
And yet she doesn't do anything smart. Her plan for framing Starlighters failed miserably. Her plan to kill MM Frenchie and Kimiko failed miserably. She wasn't smart enough to interview annika without homelander. So she's smart because she listens to a podcast and reads a book lol?
@@Afflictamine Exactly. People are so damn gullible. "Ooh she's reading about physics, so smart"
But when it comes to show her intelligence in any useful or convincing way, the writers are going to flop.
2:20 It’s likely she has an ulterior motive for enabling Homelander’s Supremacist plan, but this moment stands out as a time where she doesn’t seem like she’s trying to convince or play him, she genuinely sympathizes with being superior to everyone yet being miserable.
You have to admit, shes doing a lot with her role. Real talent is being able to act, without talking. She really puts in all the little nuances youd expect from someone thats so smart, she knows not to appear scared or angry around a supe, and so her emotions are fleeting twitches across her eyes ect. Not too shabby.
I liked it when she was shot in the head and started acting like a child
She is an intellectual. The weakness of intellectuals is vanity. Homelander KNOWS this about her.
Maybe vanity. I think it's curiosity as well. Many intellectuals just want to be the first to see something new.
Have you seen trump voters?
@@alecaquino4306 curiosity killed the cat
@@ultimumdraco4957 yeah thats hilarious, but even worse are the people who bring up trump non stop. Some people say those types of people are so truly idiotic, you cant really stop them.
@@kazamakell cry more pussy 😂 nothing worse than a person who cucks themselves for trump
1:30 Notice how HL instinctively puts his hands behind his back the moment Sage mentions that he's been washing them more often.
I love Homelander's reaction to every time someone calls him out on him not willing to kill/harm them. Butcher, Edgar, Sage and probably a few others.
I guess he is sick and tired of that same reaction.
The book behind Homelander says in Russian "Demons in the Paradise".
🤔 Neet, pretty accurate detail about him.
I appreciate that even though Sister Sage is definetly smarter than Homelander, he's still the one in control. Mainly because he still managed to manipulate her to help him by playing to *her* ego a bit.
Although, my only problem with Sage is that even though they write her as the smartest person on the planet, how exactly is that going to translate into the role she's given?
Analitical intelligence is a different ballpark from tactical & business intelligence, which is what Homelander is *actually* looking for here.
It would be cool to see them explore that if that's where they're headed.
she's just intelligent in general, if she doesn't know about something, she can just read about it. if she reads books about tactics and businesses, she's going to be an expert about it.
@@dedosdecenizaYeah, but Vought’s an empire going into slow collapse. They have a huge following, but there’s also been a rift. Reading books won’t fix that.
In order to keep a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical empire alive, especially one in need of serious quality control, it needs business savvy more than anything else. That requires a lot of time trying to keep any dissidents in line. But everyone wants to jump ship, so at any second people can walk, then squeak to the public.
You can dig through books of psychology and history to know how to read people better and how certain plans pan out, but business is less personal than things like war. Business is a bunch of contracted employees, working under the grand pecking order of middle managers, upper managers, and executive officials, all working to keep the masses-the consumer-happy. It’s a much more multifaceted model than an army or a kingdom.
The consumer’s loyalty isn’t earned or taken by force; it’s sold *by* the consumer in good faith, for consistently coming up with good product and maintaining good public relations. Every big corporation will find a way of meeting some bottom line, but it’s harder for companies to regain that “good faith” in a short amount of time, especially when what’s happened in this show.
So I really don’t know if Sage will even have what it takes to help Homelander and help save Vought. Her presence kind of makes sense, though now I’m just thinking of the first comment. How will her lack of business knowledge help them in the long run?
Homelander definitly manipulated her to join the Seven.
But Sage also promised him, smiling, to make him like Caeser ( who got stabbed in the back in the end).
I think she's playing the long game
@@ClintStone-t9mOh yeah, Caeser does get stabbed in the back at the end. 🤯
Thanks for reminding me. Now the plot point of making Homelander into Caesar sounds way more devious, I love it! 🤠
"The world's smartest person poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite."
I like that you see Homelander already taking a step inside BEFORE he asks to be let in
Just be grateful he asked lol
Where do they find these psychotic people for the seven? I thought being an A-hole was only Homelanders job
they manufacture them... lots of testing and iteration. it's taken many decades to produce a good supply.
The average person is not particularly smart nor particularly good. If you randomly give a lot of average people superhuman power, setting them outside and above the ruck of humanity, a high percentage of them will be twisted by it.
aren't like 90% of supes psychotic anyway. it's the realistic outcome if you give an average person superpowers especially in a society like this fictional america where supes are commercialized and superheroes are thought of as gods. in actual USA I think people would be more distrustful if supes were real.
@@aca347 having super powers would necessitate viewing the world differently than people without powers. fact is someone with super powers cannot view reality the way a normal person does, by definition that makes them insane, at least relative to a normal person. being sane as a supe and being sane as a normal person cannot be the same thing.
The whole premise of the show is "What would happen if normal people had super powers" Odds are they would be psychotic egotists harbouring desires to rule the patch of land they reside on. Human nature and all that.
Homelander: I'm smart enough to listen...
Me after episode 7: Apparently NOT.
Dunning Kruger effect. He's been undermining her plans because of his ego since Rians first save
It’s ironic that he thinks humans are toys for his amusement but he was created by them.
Ironic, perhaps. But humans have also created killer bees, atom bombs, and global warming. We don't have the greatest success rate at making sure our creations don't threaten to kill us.
That's a common trope. The creation thinks it's smarter and more powerful than its creator
That's why he 'needs' to. It's a coping mechanism formed in childhood to explain why all the adults around him never treated him as good as they treated each other or their families at home that they talked to each other about where he could hear.
Every piece of media dealing with artificial intelligence is basically this
"Smart enough to listen"
Well, that aged like....milk.
Spoilers: Homelander’s ego could not in fact handle it
Bro I need sister sage and stan edger in one room, it would honestly be so interesting.
Sage is a phenomenal genius, but she's still a kid. Some things can only be learned with experience. This scene demonstrates that it's possible to manipulate her, and there's no shrewder manipulator than Stan Edgar.
Now, if Stan were to take Sage on as his protege... that could turn into something truly terrifying.
Spoiler Warning: Stan is her dad.
@@UpcycleShoesKai Where did you get that from? Because an episode explaining that hasn't come out yet and the comic of the boys is inconsistent with the show, you just talking bs
I imagine Stan having the same powers as her
@@danieldickson8591she's not a kid, I'm pretty sure she's A-Train's age
The amound of anxiety we get when we think that homelander can laser sage at any moment if she pisses him off . He is unpredictable
Truthfully I had no anxiety about Sage getting killed here,
One; her character is new and is clearly being built to have some significant narrative importance.
Two; Homelander definitely needs her for something, the guy isn’t as unpredictable as people think.
Three; her power makes her highly intelligent, she’s likely able to predict Homelander better than we are and would never say or do anything that would compromise her.
You gotta care about the character first to really feel that kind of anxiety
@@amonhmcodashe may be able to predict him better than us, but honestly considering how unstable homelander is and how sage acts around him, even she probably doesn’t know what he wants.
Once you understand Homelander's motivations and insecurities, he's very predictable. But that doesn't make him less dangerous. Just because you can predict an outcome, doesn't always mean you can avoid it. One mistake could end you.
In the background, behind Homelander, as he sits there is a book called the Fraternity of the Stone. That book basically deals with a secret agent/assassin who, after tiring of killing, decides to withdraw to from the world into a monastic life. Then someone tracks him down and basically drags him back into the life he used to lead. Similarly sister sage withdrew from the world until someone tracked her down and dragged her back into her previous life. The book and the scene don't have perfect parallels but the book's place there isn't a coincidence.
What I love about the series is these nice touches courtesy of the props department.
Wow, I honestly thought their interactions would be completely different just based on the description "woman of color, smartest person in the world" my thought was wow, Homelander's gonna fucking hate her, but no he recruits her and honestly, I can't wait to see what they do with her. Such an interesting character.
He ain’t racist, he just doesn’t mind racism
He’s not racist, he is a supremesist. Everyone is below him.
@@jakecaffery4063 I was thinking less of him being an outright racist, and more just the culmination of all three together "genius, woman, not-white" would get under his skin more than it does
He was never racists, Stormfront Projected that onto him and he just liked the fact that she glamorized him. He not a white supremacist tho, he’s a Supesupremacist.
@@stevencooper564it does, but he tries to tolerate it cause he REALLY needs someone who can talk back to him and its not a yes-man. Also she has prooved to be able to be of use, Firecracker may be obnoxious, but she knows how to weaponize the masses, which is what Sage wants to get rid of Starlight.
THAT’s the advice the smartest person in the world could give him?!? It’s like the same thing any high school kid would say.
The writing has really fallen off from the first season or two.
4:30 - “You can stay here, reeking of Taco Bell . . . “
Guess he smelled she was on the toilet. 🤣
Which, since it was Taco Bell, didn't take super senses to smell.
Smells like seven layers;
That beaver eats Taco Bell. - Primus
Imagine Homelander knocks the door to meet the smartest person alive just after Sage gives herself a lobotomy :D
😂😂😂😂
Homelander knocks when he could easily hear her on the toliet
He did say she reeked of ‘Taco Bell’ lol. He could smell it too
@@jibekmechler139yummers...
Homelander can be quite polite when he respects someone, particularly when he wants something from them.
@@jibekmechler139Anyone could smell that. Don't need super powers

Was this supposed to be a racist stereotype?
@@amakus535 She is so smart that she sees through the white nationalist facade and gives Homelander what he really wants.
gross reaction

Idk, regardless of how much she hated the suit, she rocked it❤

Clark Kent on Smallville always used to wear those colors, too.
It's orange tho.
Weirdly enough, those are Goku's colors.
Smartest woman in the world thinks the US is a democracy.
This season is very obnoxious about how the writers feel about the world. Sometimes it's grossly naive
Not in a good way like the seasons before
@@valmiriuswriters are Jewish
The cramming of the writers politics is getting pretty obnoxious
Smart people can have incredibly stupid beliefs. She's clearly portrayed as lacking in a lot of ways.
*smartest person
It's funny how Homelander is finally learning to respond to dissent _without_ lasering the person in question and it's arguably making him _worse._
man imagine if sister sage and tech knight were on the same team, literally nothing could be kept secret
unless it’s a big gaping hole
Normal conversation between joe and Kamala Harris 😂😂😂
Neither of them are that articulate.
Smartest person on earth.
Buys Dell pc.
Once again the smarts remain anchored at the level of the writers.
I guess when your brain is the super computer ANY device is equally shit as Dell products.
What does her choice of computer have to do with her being the smartest person on earth? She could own literally no computer and be the smartest person on earth, this is such a dumb point.
@@casualbydefaultalso this yeah, especially with modern tech gradually becoming shittier and shittier. If she upgraded she would probably have to uninstall windows 11, who can be bothered?
@@SorchaSublime I doubt she would buy one with a pre installed OS. She would likely get the most obscure Linux distro in existence to feel even smarter.
@@SorchaSublime The joke is that Dell sucks and you shouldn't buy a Dell pc.
Brains high, wisdom low.
That's exactly what I thought too. Sage might be the 'smartest' person in the world in some sense, but there's many different kinds of intelligence. All her knowledge clearly comes from books, and her theories are yet to be put into practice. Dealing with people is also a whole separate skill, especially when dealing with someone as unpredictable as Homelander.
@CormacMcMillan Agreed. Then there is of course how to channel that intelligence through other, more pragmatic skill sets.
I absolutely love how how when he growls at her to show him, she straightens up and just goes cold. Like on one hand you could see it as her being anxious, but on the other it also gives the impression of when a cat's eyes go fullblack and you know things just got serious. Just feels like a mask dropped and suddenly there's a scary snake in the room.
that "Like Caesar" back-and-forth is gonna be so loaded, because 1. we have no idea if Homelander thinks Caesar was some all-powerful monarch that just died somehow or he's really thinking about if Sage will be his Brutus, and 2. it's more certain that Sage wants to be Brutus
i'm so excited to see who backstabs who and how eeeee
I just assumed it was about how Caesar got himself loved by the people with his populist and reformist policies and then used that to subvert all democratic institutions and pretty much became a monarch all but in name. Then he got killed by the political elite he screwed over which ended up hastening the transitioning to monarchy since people still loved Caesar and hated his killers. Homelander wants to be loved by the people but doesn't actually care for them, and he hates all the intuitions (both political and the company itself) holding him back. Homelander also has a tendency to mess with other supes some of which would be glad to see him gone.
I like her! She’s giving Homelander what he’s missing after Stan Edgar left!
"like Cesar".. Homelander, you know he got stabbed in the back, right?
I have the feeling he's really gonna pull her apart at some point.
That persistent underlying threat is a big part of Homelander's power to sway people.
You can tell Sister Sage spends a lot of time on reddit lmao
Sage may have psychoference abilities and photographic memory. And despite having these abilities, they are capable of putting others down because of their intellectual abilities. Maybe it's not his place to be a homelander. Use manipulation to your advantage, which is smart of you!😈
I think this homelander would’ve fit at an earlier time. Before he felt like he was emotionally breaking
She is right about people lol

@@Amoogusnpc
@@islixxn i sure hope
The most NPC observation ever. Writer's writing a character that knows the motivations of other characters they also wrote? I'm shocked!
0:30 and I fell in love with her. 2:06 made that final. Or 3:48, she knows he doesn't know what he's talking about and just drops a name he heard somewhere. This is some top-grade acting. The Boys continues to amaze and amaze.
oh by the way, spending too long sitting on a toilet is one of the ways to develop hemorrhoids. I don't suggest sitting and reading on a toilet.
Smartest person in the world and yet she couldn’t figure out to stay the fuck away from homelander
Ego and hubris. They're the downfall of everyone.
Boredom is a dangerous emotion.
Couldn't figure it out? Maybe she is just bored out of her mind and wants a game to distract her.
For someone at her level, it would need to be extremely high stakes to even interest her.
@LeiRaionYes the worlds smartest do like increasing their chances of getting fucking lasered when they are bored
@Manant. imagine being extremely bored for months or years and having absolutely nothing interest you.
If your only shot at some entertainment came with high danger, you might be willingly to accept that risk.
Bleeping out the cuss words lol....
A-Train is the only black 7 member or Voight product without a racial qualifier to his name 😂😮
Even then he's had to deal with bullshit frequently
The A stands for African
I like how there really truthfully is a subset of people out there listening to Homelander's rant going "yeah, he's right, yeah that's how it is he's right."
just like the subset of people who think the 'worlds smartest person' is some sassy black kween
@Afflictamine agreed she hasn't really proven herself to be the world's smartest person yet but to reduce her to "sassy black queen" means you were offended by that statement and side with homelander. If she was a white man you'd have zero issues with her

@@billelliott3507 You probably could.
Sister Sage was like "Homelander washes his hands after bathroom breaks, that means his prostate is enlarged because his hands are clean."
Stupidest sh1t I ever heard. Maybe Homelander has clean hands because he doesn't want blood on them on account of all the murdering he does?
@@billelliott3507 Or maybe Homelander washed his hands because he was meeting a potential ally for the first time and wanted to make a decent first impression?
@@JonathanHayes-uz3eeShe said he was washing them more often. She saw more than simply recently cleansed hands.
@@JonathanHayes-uz3eehomelander wouldn’t care about first impressions he’s above everyone. Your theory is more far fetched than hers.
I'm calling the Sage character doing a moral 180 by the end of the season.
Homelander was so mature and composed there.
He can control himself when he wants something. He's had many years of experience at putting up a front.
So if her brain continues to regenerate, and her body is damaged and ages normally... Is she just going to end up a brain in a jar at some point?
Umm Ceasar was stabbed in the back
Liar
exactly;
that evil grin from her should have tipped homelander off tbh.
Homelander knows that. He's no doubt considered that possibility.
Exactly
if she was really that smart, she'd be off the grid.
Her harping about race 24/7 (which is in fact a racial stereotype) throughout the talk, I like that Homelander played on her own ego with his offer.
She definitely roasted him, but she's no better. Welcome to The Boys.
How is it a "stereptype" for a black character to be aware of systemic oppression which directly affects them? It would be unrealistic for her to be this intelligent and not think about it.
Also why should she bother being off the grid? She likes creature comforts and as of this scene she isn't even a superhero.
A character can only be as smart as its writers
She is the least interesting character in the entire show. Even when asked to demonstrate her powers by Homelander, she has absolutely nothing interesting to say. Just pure bad writing for the sake of checking boxes without putting in the effort. It's not even about being anti woke or anything. Just a really badly written character all around.
What the fuck are you yapping about lmao
Lmao. Her character suffers from her writers not being able to write a character smarter than them, so they use the usual "smart" character tropes
never realised how fucking stun homelander was in this scene!
What is stun?
@@highwind8124 I guess not. I'm assuming it's the thing Gen z and Gen alpha do with grammar where they don't conjugate verbs at all. Like how they use "bias" instead of "biased".
@@DuckDuckGoose13 Gen Z myself and have zero fucking clue what “stun” means either. We say biased btw, not bias
So she basically crazy but lex Luthor crazy
How smart are you?
Smart enough to record everything and not tell you
So this character is supposed to be inhumanely smart, yet spouts political theory straight out of a uni first semester?
Well it's not like they have a writer with a 3 digit IQ on staff
@@giant0mantis evidently they don't even have some with two digits. Because this scene shows exactly why creating an inhumanly smart character is impossible and stupid to attempt
Shes literally talking down to homelander here because he's a dumbass. She literally tells him to her face that she's going to betray him with that caesar comment and he doesn't even notice.
A half-smart person would throw big words at Homelander, and get their brains splattered all over their library.
@@willietorben560 you have to be inhumanly smart to avoid insulting him? Not sure about that one mate.
Good scene
What is good about this scene to me its super cringy she says rome, greace all democracy fail because people are stupid. Lol that has to be one of the worse takes the fact that she has to be a black woman and say this is worse. Rome was not even a democracy.
@@idoomi6714 bro she's manipulating Homelander.
She basically even told him "I'll make you like Ceaser", even tho that guy was stabbed in the back at the end.
“Who builds your monuments? Who tongues your taint?” Love her so much
Everything about Sage seems... bumpy writing at best. Doesn't really make sense.
Like what exactly is the "smartest person in the world"? It's a title Vought gave her but what exactly has she done to get Homelander, the ball of pure ego clumped into human form, to seek her out personally and even relinquish all operational power to her?
The smartest scientist won't make the smartest leader, businessman, marketer, tactician, or even the smartest engineer. There are different kinds of intelligence. If they're trying to say that she is the top in all of these it's just a really stupid idea. Like when people talk about the greatest athlete of all time there will be several names that come into the discussion. Even if there is consensus on one person, let's say it is Michael Phelps, that doesn't mean we expect him to run faster than prime Usain Bolt and beat up a prime Muhammad Ali, and be able to score more goals than Lionel Messi.
I really, really hope it's not just some cheap way to justify stopping different plans and just say "she is the smartest person so she knew it all along" for everything that is thrown at her.
she has a photographic memory and functions like a quantum computer. she analyzes every scenario and goes over countless outcomes before making any decision.
yap yap yap
Just a movie champ😂
@@spaka1 This is a TV show...
That would then apply too batman, reed Richard's, and any extremly smart comic character.
Homelander isn't a racist but not because he believes in equal rights.
It's because he's too self-involved to care 😂
Homelander: From someone in my level
Sister sage:🤔
They could've done so much with Sage, instead they made her this weird side kick and seem less of a supe.
Hmm. Guess Daenerys finally met her Tyrion …
So who’s Jon Snow?
Starlight would be Cersei lannister😂
@@CaydenSonnonHomelander would be Cersei. Sage would be Qyburn
I don’t see much similarity. I see a Palpatine wannabe (Homelander) turns out to become the Darth Vader 😂
By that point of GoT, Tyrion was no longer smart, I'm afraid
_busts out the Rick and Morty box set_
“Like ceasar” Amazing
Shes only as smart as the writers allow her to be. Which this season is.... limited
Come to think of it, missed opportunity to advertise their kindles, also it doesn’t make sense to have physical books given she prob reads faster than she can turn pages definitely better off with an electronic device
If she read for acquisition of knowledge, instead of as a sort of meditation, she would not need books. This woman is incredibly bored.
smartest woman in the world, has a shitty dell optiplex from what looks like 2007 lmao
I presume she just didn't want to get a new one? Being smart doesn't necessarily mean caring about having up to date technology, if it works it works.
How does Sage know Soldier Boy is Homelander's father? Not questioning her smarts but how in the world would she deduce that?
I guess the timeline of Homelanders birth date and Soldier Boy disappearing? Not to mention that Vought knows internally so she might have been able to read their files without permission at some point.
@@SorchaSublime Homelander being born before SB disappeared could mean they took down SB once they had HL, that does not necessarily mean HL is his son. SB can't fly, SB doesn't age, they don't really look alike. There's no real hints that HL is SB's son.
@@SorchaSublime Sage is literally the one person who could and would hack Vought's databases and get away with it, for no other reason than sheer boredom.
Does she actually need to look so smug all the time??
You probably would if you could look at someone and tell how their prostate's doing
@@sweett3253
Yeah, that was stupid.
@@vladdracul2379 given his age it's not that hard to guess
It's insulting to watch clips from The Boys and audibly hear bleeps from shit being censored. tf is this bs
is she connected with stan? possible?
Because she's black?
all supes have some sort of connection to vought and therefore stan
@@jasonruff1270not really. connected with stan means they work together in some way deliberately
it's not far fetch regarding how smart is Sage, Stan probably used her service in the past. And very possible that Sage works for Stan
Maybe she's Stan's biological daughter? Hidden away under a different name to protect his interests.
Sister Sage is every ENFJ come to life as a superhero.
If homelander ages whats his actual goal? even if he starts worl domination and takes over he will eventually die and be forgotten
he literally said it in this clip. legacy. he, ostensibly, wants to build something that will outlast him. something "better, more pure". now, obviously we can all *imagine* what he could be mean by "pure" but thats his goal it seems.
@@sillyking1991 I don't get it doesn't homelander only care about himself so why would he want to make something outlasting him?
@@KozmikyodaKozmikyoda i mean, i was just pointing out what was said in the clip. he claims to want to leave a legacy. that said, legacy can be inherently selfish. You're looking at it through the lens of altruism "i want to leave the world better for the future generations" but it often comes from a sense of "immortality is impossible, so im gonna do the next best thing and make sure im remembered long after my death." Julius Ceaser is someone that was referenced in this clip. sure he died, but 2000 years later and we're still talking about him. How long ago did gengis khan live? alexander the great? gilgamesh?
Of course, its possible that he's just straight up lying, maybe he does believe that he'll live forever. or at the very least hasn't really been confronted by his own mortality yet. So maybe all of that talk of legacy was a ploy or he's just looking for a way to justify trying to take over the world, and he thinks he needs this smart chick to help him with that.
I mean, no one has forgottn H yet, and he didn't even halfway succeed
