A-TRAIN (History + Powers) THE BOYS EXPLAINED 

What a way to start a show. Set the tone. And make you realise these idols are not superheroes but something terrifying, humans with godly powers..

Can you really say many of these shows had "pilot" episodes? With streaming it seems like pilot first seasons.

@@filmcomicsexplained hey just a suggestion, you should try project zomboid if you dig it maybe even do a "Why you wouldn't survive project zomboid" that would be awesome

You should see Invincible, it has A Train scene with similar vibe ;)

It was. Great way to start a show off. I was shocked when I first seen it!! 😳

Or kimiko was just a badass

Only supes can really hurt other supes so......

@@thecopperiris kimiko surprised him as he was drugged up with compound V. Talking to Hughie distracted him. But it's weird, he should be able to see Kimiko attacks, cause he's a speedster. Why writers always like to weaken or do dump storyline with speedsters getting hit by way slower attackers. Supes with speeds are (OP)

@@southspin7694 I was honestly thinking the whole meeting with A train thing would’ve been finding a way to drug him or knock him out and then interrogate him and break his leg just like in the comic but that was before I know what would happen later on and in season 3

@@jellybean7283 Becca stabbed stormfront in the eye and blinded her.

Unfortunately season 3 had a ton of hand-waving of details like this so they'll probably ignore this detail and say "supe's heart in supe's body is good enough"

🥱

@@adammccraw7379 what’s wrong with that? I don’t want some convoluted reason he needs a heart from another speedster.

@@John-Doe-Yo nothing on its own but when coupled with other details that they seem to ignore, I feel like some attention to detail is being lost. An example: butcher is given months to live due to the temp-V whereas Hughie seems fine despite them both having brain tumors that made black goo leak out of their ears. I know butcher took more of it but Hughie shouldnt magically recover without lasting effects. Ignoring the consequences of people's actions is a large departure of what made the show appealing in the first place.

@@adammccraw7379 I can agree on this, Hughie having no side effects except a nosebleed is weird...but I still thought s3 was very good

Bro thinks he is Walter White

@@thelightknight4772 lmfao

nah phuc him !

Indeed.

I don’t

Nah bud. He's one of the least sympathetic. Every time it seems he or almost any character is going to have a redemption arc it never gets off the ground. Maybe now that he has Bluehawks heart he might give it a genuine shot.

I feel like having sex with sea creatures deserves the lowest of the low award. Call me old fashioned.. but that is just a tad too progressive for me. Humans should stick with humans 😂

Facts

I swear it’s because he couldn’t move because he was going that fast he didn’t have time to stop

If he didn’t care, he would’ve kept going

@@Adrian_Weekly Normally I would agree. But with that much V in your system, no way he was in a normal state of mind.

It was because he doped up V that's why he was also breathing very heavy when he stopped since he was running faster then normal speeds

Amazing scene lol

reminiscent of Spider-Man telling kids to eat spinach after he just jumped 30 feet into the air

Yep that right pardory of the flash 📸 👌

Flash with durability and strength too.

Ya he atleast cool right? (Right?)

Nahhhh, more like a tradie

@@Darkpara1 flash has him beat in both strength and durability

Why? Because they're black? Racist loser bluehawk was just as interesting or even soldier boy but noooo they're not black so they're no intreesting

and if his perception is so highly increased n such- he ran through robin on purpose no doubt she didnt get shot out into the street at insanely high speeds, she was sitting absolutely still

Meave estimated she would last a minute against Homelander and ended up doing better against him in a 1v1 than even Soldier Boy had. I honestly do attribute this to her actually training and prepping herself for a future confrontation. I think all supes can increase their base level abilities with proper training and dedication the same way normal humans can. They just don't.

@@wiseguy01 probably the case since a lot of them see themselves as these gods above mortals

Imagine if homelander or a-train actually trained, the show would probably be over already

oh yeah w/o a doubt, if they just disappeared and worked on their super-stamina (how long and hard they can use their powers) alongside maybe some new tricks n stuff no one would even be able to think against him none the less speak out/act out against em ((new tricks meaning, hypothetically, a-train able to vibrate so hard that he can make seismic waves or burrow through things, or even make afterimage copies of himself from sheer speed that can actually "feel" like theres now more than one a-train, which would almost make sense (what self centered sumbitch wouldnt love a crew of exactly yourself, that you control?) or homelander "charging" up a punch through pretty much eye-blasting his hands with explosive output (on contact, all the energy gets dumped and t h a t is what just disintegrates and explodes whoever it hits, or making his beam a shotgun of beams by hitting a special reflective piece of his suit)) sorry for the small paragraph c:

Absolutely. She is pretty beast

Wonder Woman type powers

In shorter words, she possessed all of Homelander's powers save his ocular laser beams, levitation, super speed abilities, nigh-invulnerability and capability to grow immune to most any harm or duress given (whether physical or to some extent psychological... which may have partly contributed to him slowly devolving from the once-kind and gentle infant boy he was to the mentally unhinged, somewhat narcissistic BPD-driven would-be do-gooder he was in his young debut superhero career, to the sociopathic malignant paranoid narcissist he currently to slowly fall off into Machiavellian psychopathy as the series goes on and forth...) . She was super strong, unnaturally durable, fast, agile and combative, albeit still to a much lower degree than Homelander's. She was the second most physically powerful member of the Seven, albeit third in terms of combat skills and hand-to-hand combat prowess to Homelander and Black Noir, and third again in terms of super-speed to Homelander and The A-Train. She seems to be also proficient in swordmanship, although we never see her using her trademark weapon against any Supes-- but the fact she sharpened her blade and propped herself back into extensive training for an entire year in order to lead an eventual fight against Homelander may or may not suggests that the alloy used to forge her sword could pierce through the skin of highly durable Supes like her (albeit likely not on Homelander, given that the latter said to Black Noir it is vain to sharpen his katanas given that they are no use against his natural father Soldier Boy, who was supposed to be of equal or slightly lower level to Homelander in terms of durability and nigh-invulnerability) . Her only physical weaknesses are her limited durability facing a fight against Supes of equal or superior strength, as well as her eyes. The fact that she somehow feared Black Noir may suggests that Black Noir's katanas, combat skills and ractical mind may constitutes a threat even to much stronger Supes such as her (albeit, once again, not against SB nor HL) .

Basically wonder woman.

She has super strength and durability. That is basically it as far as I can tell. Weaker version of Wonder Woman.

It is stated that Quicksilver's speed (MCU version) is faster than A Trains, but ofc their abilities are quite similar in that it takes their physical body to maintain their speed

@@prismssj8532 so technically flash is the fastest since he moves at light speed compared to everyone else

Flash got that sweet connection to the speed force. Great reception too 😂

Flash is by far the fastest

@@morningstar7401 I don't know why I was comparing Quicksilver to him considering Quicksilver can't move at light speed

Hopefully he'll have a ....... change of heart lol

STOREFRONT!???

Yep! Have gotten a few request for that :)

Thanks Clay!

What did Blue Hawk do that was racist?

@@seananderson5334 he overly patrolled black neighborhoods and would attack innocents

Even more messed up from Blue Hawks perspective. Imagine the person that killed you ends up being the one that got your heart. Blue Hawk can't really say anything about it Because he's dead but still.

You too buddy!

Thanks aqua

A Train runs faster than Homelander but Homelander can literally fly faster than that since his flight speed is mach 54 (i think) so he won’t ever be racing A train on foot anyways

@@_mystic_5653 ah that makes sense

He is not the second most powerful, he is the second fastest. Maeve is way more powerful than him. But yeah he is def the biggest coward

@@filmcomicsexplained I know Maeve from a raw power point of view is stronger, but A-Train, as far as overall destructive scope in his power is definitely more powerful than Maeve.

Fair enough critical rage. If used to it’s full potential you are right, he has the potential to be unstoppable!

@@filmcomicsexplained Also great video as always!

@@Rageren maeve is still a baddass

@cb-9938 TRUE!

Let’s go Damian! Welcome back homie :)

@@filmcomicsexplained lol I can’t thank you enough for this !

Thankyou for saving me the typing to point this out. Gotta wonder how much actual "research" results in a blunder like that.

I envy you. You’re about to be extremely happy. Watch it now!!!

It's so much better than the comics it's unreal, unless you're really into that super edgy stuff

There's a lot of points on where it is way different than the comics and Homelander's actor is so good for the character. I definitely suggest watching

Not better than the comics, just different. It all depends on personal tastes

surpasses the comic in every single way imaginable, not even a comparison. Only wish MM still had his powers.

I love speedsters too. I just hope they don't go the route of The Flash and have any continuity rewriting using A-Train. Maybe do a one off Flashpoint Paradox type deal.

Frenchie said it was not possible to drown him. Dominicans tried it in 2007 and they did not succeed. This implies that Translucent can survive for long periods of time or indefinitely without breathable air.

I think yes, but they needed a way to keep him subdued and simultaneously not alert homelander (and it would presumably take absolutely ages)

It shall be done!

I just finished reading Invincible and its one of the best comic stories I've seen in a a long time. Will def cover the Viltrumites, their empire and many of the superheroes in that soon! Thanks :)

@@filmcomicsexplained that'd be cool Niad.

@@filmcomicsexplained hype

Sounds wild! Will add it to the list and check it out. Thanks :)

I remover watching Muv-Luv total eclipse didn’t realize that it was that crazy

Fall guys is a great game. Not sure what I could do other than to discuss the existential hell of being an avatar controlled by others though lol

@@filmcomicsexplained Someone managed to Make a *Lore Video* and *Story Video* of the _Beans._ I am not joking. *Channel Name: Caboose T.V* You could also discuss the Physiology of the _Bean's._ That would be fun.
