You guys are in for a treat. This show is one of the rare occurrences where the adaptation far surpasses the source material. The acting, cadence of the story and the sublime characters are chefs kiss.
When I watched the trailer I thought it was gonna be some bad superhero cheesy show like a dc rubbish one but then heard it was gory and crazy so watched it
In my opinion this is one of the scariest shows I've ever seen not because of any horror elements but because of how close to reality some of the subject matter is
The show runner (Eric Kripke) has said on twitter that he will use current events/mixed with comic storylines to “ground” the show. Even said that January 6th on the U.S Capital will be tied in.
@@DarksideGmss0513 He might, depends on how it serves the story, I just know he did say Jan 6 will be a “part” of the show in some way down the line, he’s very open of his political standing.
@@DarksideGmss0513covid was soldier boy, to some degree. Homelander telling everyone on the news that nothing was wrong and everything was safe was almost completely quoting the covid president
The way Annie/Starlight spoke about her r*pe by Deep was very realistic, both the struggle with telling her mom and how disappointed she was in herself for freezing up/not fighting. Scenes like that need more air to breathe, but I'm glad we got it given how common of an experience assault is for women. Men, too, but women are assumed to be asking for it, etc.
In my opinion, The Boys does for the superhero genre what the original Robocop did for the 80s action movie. A brilliant fusion of satire of both the genre itself as well as big picture sociopolitical issues, while also just being a fantastic thrill ride with refreshingly interesting and fleshed out characters.
Prepare yourselves for the completely and perfectly chaotic world of The Boys and to be blown away by Anthony Starr‘s stellar performance as Homelander.
Anthony Starr (Homelander) is incredible. The whole cast just vibes with the craziness of the source material. And you're in for three seasons of this. Brace for impact.
This series has one of the most scary villains in such an unexpected way… it’s disturbing and so much fun!!! Already looking forward to you reaction to some specific scenes!!!
I know fully well that Homelander does not exist, and yet I'm terrified of him. He is one of thee most horrifying anti heroes ever created and Antony Starr does a scary ass job at it.
Antony Starr is probably the biggest reason I keep watching this show. Captivating, edge of my seat performance. He's amazing. Also loved him in Banshee. Karl Urban is another phenomenal performer. Such a blast!
You guys may have missed the parody in the meeting introducing Elizabeth Shue's character. The hero she was trying to offer "Nubian Prince" is their version of Black Panther. "Caucasian's love him too!" And the joke about taking up the offer made by Atlanta is a tongue in cheek as that is where most of the Black Panther movie was filmed.
😂😂 he said "the memes made homelander out to be a bad guy. He doesn't seem so bad." That'll go down in history as the most WRONG thing anyone has ever said
Jack Quaid was in The Hunger Games as well! He played Marvel, one of the tributes from district one! I cant wait to watch the reactions for this series-such a good show.
This show definitely has that INVINCIBLE flavor. Im here for every episode you guys watch! Urban is VERY easily running away with this show! I cant wait to see more!
One of the best shows on TV, PERIOD! I've been dying over here for the new season, but in the meantime, I can enjoy your reactions, while reliving some of the show's best and most shocking moments!
ok these reactions are gonna be legendary! and the fact that The Oak is the only one who hasn't seen the first season is gonna make for some top tier moments for sure haha also, S1 is nothing compared to S2 and S3 for just how outrageous this show can get. buckle in fellas! ❤
after you said you didn’t think they could get as invincible level graphic in a live action, knowing that you would be putting this out soon… I waited with literally baited breath for this episode to drop for the facial expressions and thoughts at the end
Mason's face when Oak is like 'from the memes you'd think homelander was some big douche' xD He was looking at us like "Omg guys... I'm keeping my mouth shut' xD
When people say this show surpasses the source material, they're right, but they often leave out how vile, hateful, and poorly written the source material is.
the boys is still one of my top 5 shows and always love your guys reactions to it too, always my go to reaction channel, your chemistry together is so fun
It's so interesting watching a group of men react to the scene with Starlight and the Deep, where he drops his pants. As a woman, I was immediately creeped tf out and scared for her. It's interesting that all of you laughed. I suppose it's onen of those differences in perspective
Agreed. He forced her to give him a blow job. Most men reacting laugh and take it as a joke. When it's serious and sexual assault that fucks people up. Not sure if he forced her to go further than that but either way, it's seriously messed up.
I think they stuck with describing it as "awkward" because a lot of terms surrounding the topic of "essay " and "grape" are on yt's nono list. But perhaps I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here. I would like to think that you don't need to be a woman to understand all of the factors involved in starlight's situation and why she feels so enraged afterwards. But I've been disappointed before. Some people simply can't grasp everything involved in a situation and the aftermath unless they've personally been in that situation themselves.
I found this channel not a long time ago and binged almost all of their videos and very quickly got to like them and their opinions, but their reaction to this scene was shocking to me, I've seen a lot of other reactions from both men and women and none of them were laughing. I got a weird feeling from watching this video🫤
Homelander's actor is so good in this first episode, he really played us lol His voice is warmer, his posture calm and confident, it's almost strange to not see his strained smiles here because, in my opinion, they are one of the character define points haha
If you're a fan of Tony Starr, the series Banshee is brutal & interesting as well. I remember him in the kiwi series Outrageous Fortune way back in the early 2000s & was thrilled to see him make it big. he's a brilliant actor.
IDK if anyone has said it already, but you've seen Jack Quaid before! Hew played Marvel in The Hunger Games, the boy who killed Rue and the first person killed by Katniss.
Carl Urbane was Dr. Bones McCoy in the J.J. Abrams versions of Star Trek. He was so perfect acting the role, Leonard Nemoy started crying. Simon Pegg is in them too as Scotty. THOSE are some films you should check out!!
Please dont control yourself with the meme excitement Oak, you were my favorite part of the LOTR trilogy for laughing so hard at every moment thats been memed and i need that energy again
This show is shocking and gross and dark and disturbing but the acting is absolutely fantastic across the board, especially Antony, Karl and Jack. It just gets better from here. More….everything. More shocking… more gross…more dark and more disturbing. You will get addicted and by the season 3 finale you will be like the rest of us….chomping at the bit for the next season! Try not to speculate or try to guess what will happen and just enjoy the ride! Some of my fav parts of this reaction are things like you thinking maybe Homelander is this really nice guy despite some of the memes out there that say otherwise. Or asking how it can get more graphic? Dude….you have NO idea. I can’t wait to see all of your reactions to the first few minutes of Season 3 episode 1. Shock and awe baby!! Buckle up boys! It’s gonna be awesome!
Can’t wait to go home and watch it! I didn’t expected this reaction from you guys because I thought you had already done it. I’d love to see more people reacting to the Queen’s Gambit
Homelander is seriously one of the most terrifying characters in all of media !!! like imagine ... Superman ... but a psychopath + on an power-trip 😵 ... nightmare fuel
@@MegaMilenche They give him this tragic backstory so people can understand why he's the way he is. But he's also well into adulthood and intelligent enough decide who he wants to be on his own. I think we can expect more character development from homelander (if they continue the series) but I don't think he'll ever be truly reformed. Nearly all of the supes, including those with lamer powers, are corrupted because of their own power. They see themselves as superior to regular humans and can basically get away with a lot of shit as long as it can be hushed up or spun a certain way or no-one sees it in the first place.
When I first watched the show, I think what shocked me was not the violence, but the realization that if superheroes were real, this would be not far from the truth of how they would operate. They wouldn't have much regard for human lives, it would be all about public image and profit.
The way I love Homelander. Don't get me wrong, he's one of the characters I detest the most, but that made him my favorite character. Anthony Starr is fantastic in his role.
I love watching reactions to this show. Oak did not disappoint! Can't wait till ya'll get to season 2, so you can all see new stuff together! Gonna be a wild ride!
@xL.420x sorry wasnt annie it was robin in the first episode must have misstyped it. I had just finished a uni assignment and was stressed to all hell was midnight and wanted a show to watch before going to bed to calm down so i put on the boys saw robin explode and my body just reacted, never happened again
What a first episode! Oak is pretty much hooked! What was your reaction? Did we miss anything? Who's your favorite character in season 1?

Its gotta be Billy Butcher!
Billy and Homelander are 1A and 1B. They often interchange for me.
Butcher 😊
surprised y'all just getting to this
I adore Starlight, Huey, and a couple of characters yet to come… I actually really like Homelander only because the actor does such an incredible job
Fun fact: the design of Hughie in the comics was based on Simon Pegg, so having him play Hughie’s dad was kinda a cool homage
Not kinda it was a whole homage. I love it
Fun fact show gets progressively worse.

Love this show❤

Anthony Starr delivers one of the best performances EVER, he deserves to get every Emmy
The fact that he hasn't even been nominated is wild. He nails that "hanging on by a thread" look that homelander is known for
@@megmur1766 He got that Tom Cruise smile, where his entire face is smiling but his eyes are ice cold
not a big deal, but it's Antony. Just shows he's built different lmfao

It wasn’t rape she gave him a blackmailed bj…
She did that willingly
yeah he got real deep

I expect at least 1-3 of these every episode, guaranteed. hehe

Y’all are in for a treat! Top five show on tv right now for sure.
They actually adding three characters from this series to a video game called Call of Duty.
You will think you're prepared for season 2 by the end of season 1. 😂
Not me sat giggling knowing what you’re gonna have to react to in this series and very much looking forward to seeing the reactions 😅
the truck scene was practical, they filmed a truck actually crashing and then just added maeve in after
Looking forward to this one. The guys are in for a trip with "The Boys."
This show is so good! You'd enjoy The Preacher as well, same producers and over the top story
Soooooo very happy you guys are reacting to this! I'm ready for the ride!
you guys are reacting to all the good stuff 😂 love it
The character in the comics was Simon Pegg but he was too old so they made him his dad

YES! very nice! cant wait for each episode till season 3 watched by you guys! LETS GO!!!
Now you know why so many people were recommending this in the comments on the Invincible finale reaction 😄
