Butcher Anatomy Explored - Is The Parasite Slowly Killing Eating Him And Controlling His Mind? 

And to someone in the animated show them made

Also because of the Powers. The tenticels have control over their Host not thé other way around. Butcher Will realize that later. Because thé tenticals want only to kill'

I don't think we'll be seeing heatvision

and hueys dad if you think how his powers relate to dimentia/brain damage

@@RobGradyVOkind of different he was already brain dead

The virus won't kill homelander , probably not butcher either. The virus will kill 98 percent of the sups , and butcher will kill the rest.

@@beentheredonethat5908where are you pulling this out of your ass from?

@@beentheredonethat5908 I don’t think they end up killing all supes unless the show is comfortable with killing not only Ryan but Starlight and Kimiko as well I think we will see butcher and homelander go and once they go someone will take over to make the heroes change or some heartfelt shit like that

@@antoinewright1425 this is the boys buddy. What makes you think they won't kill ryan starlight and kimiko?

@@matrix9140 bc regardless of it being the boys the main characters are still the main characters we may see ONE of them go “kimiko” definitely not all of them

Yeah I noticed that too

No they don’t, she made all of their noses bleed without seeing them when in Stan’s hideout

​@@rebelpenguin148I agree, it could be that she flinched and butcher covered her eyes while it was closed. Her eyes probably just have to be open

@@marvelbladez993 - Also it could be that butcher was too strong and she couldnt explode him but was trying the entire time. Without a doubt Victoria would have exploded Homelander if she had the opportunity but it's clear she has issues using her powers against really strong supes.

This may mean that Butcher has 2 completely different sets of power. The first is his own due to temp V, and the second is the super tumour's powers.

@@PPSRHD so far i e seen no evidence butcher himself has control over it. Basically what i been assuming all long a kinda venom type beat

@@CrxzyYT he has no control over the tumour. But psychologically Kessler has taken over , plus in the last episode of s8, It was shown butcher can now control the tumour as he wishes. I really want butcher to retain control over his original temp V powers.

Yeah, but why is a tumor intelligent?

@@samisshortforsamurai could be the tumour is now acting as a suppressed part of butcher's brain ,just more vocal now. Or it could just be V+tumour makes them sentient, similar things happened in the boys diabolical but that tumour was more like a creature attacking its own host vs what butcher has which seems to be much intelligent to the point it seems that butcher is still controlling it

Which is a neat way to tie in both versions. He was always like that it's just Ryan that made him be merciful.

The acting is amazing

i think that’s the point. comic butcher had a lot less to lose. becca actually did die in childbirth and butcher killed ryan right then and there. he has no emotional attachments.

Season 5 should be a lot more like comic book butcher now adding on the tentacles

its because ryan didnt exist in the comics

Aww hell nah

i think he gets diff powers fr like kessler is like the parasiste and his wife is like the golden laser vision powers

​@@princehaile7389actually the powers are butchers own. Kessler is just a husk that the cancer used to convince butcher. Meanwhile lazer vision was butchers biological powers and his wife didnt have anything to do with it

powerful than homelander? the new villian

I think this gonna happened in season 5

I feel like Temp V would be what powers they would’ve originally gotten if they had an injection of compound V at the proper age .. but taking compound V as an adult gives you powers similar to the T Virus from resident evil.. seems like ..

@@SNESfan8 i agree with this, i don't necessarily think compound v is a random ability as we've seen it basically give powers according to someone's personality or traits

I mean, they were just homelanders' powers, but he couldn't fly.

He was literally just weaker Homelander, his new powers are way more insane

@@SNESfan8I think he would have gotten the temp v powers if he had just taken compound V first even as an adult. But since he got a tumor from temp V that affected the outcome when when taking regular V. It seems the tumor absorbed the V or something along those lines

I think it's because we are used to seeing Vought branded heroes with pure powers and now V is going wild in the world and a natural part of it we are seeing more biological powers that Vought can't hide anymore. They tested everything, they knew what V could cause because they've already seen it. They just hid it away.

@@Liohlon that’s a really good point, like brink said to Marie “blood powers just don’t fly in middle America” the whole branding of superpowers thing makes sense, it’s easier to sell super strength than head popping or mouth tentacles

@@balocke2063 I think the implication was they hide or obscure rejects. It's not even necessarily power set - it's purely marketability. Like Webweaver - they stuck him in a suit and never let him out of it in public. If you're pretty and conventional like Maeve or the Deep, you're a moviestar. Starlight made the Seven whilst there are many stronger heroes than her in the series. If you get weird abilities or have a problematic identity then you end up as Kimiko, Doppleganger, Sage etc.

Billy*

Technically if its symbiontic and not harm the host it would be a symbiont not a parasite. But considering its actually cancer that seem to be able to control Butchers mind this relationship isn't symbiontic at all. How does Butcher needs a tumor? It literally kills him. That tumor is a super parasite. Not a symbiont. Parasites usually want to keep their host alive as long as possible. Thats why well adapted pathogens don't kill you, but use you as food.

@@jyymorrison1445why are you trying to correct him? Billy And Butcher are the same person, his name is Billy Butcher and every character in the show calls him Butcher. Why try to correct it?

@@theguthboyw You didn't read it correctly the guy said 'bully' once i think that's the part he was trying to correct

this theory was so good i regret reading it cause i think its true now

Underrated game series 🤝

No gpd no , mercer is a walking swarm of virus cells that are like a hive kind a single cell is all tht needs to survive for mercer to rebuild himself while if u vaporised most the cells pf butcher he be dead Meecer is a walking swarm of cells each indevidualy alive closer to a hove mind entity that thinks its a person

Nah alex had way more powers

Man I remember randomly looking on Google if prototype 3 will ever be made

Maximum carnage

Butcher officially went from anti-hero to supervillain he went down to homelanders level out of bitter hatred and spite he is not on the boys side nor the supes side

Just sucks we’re gonna have to wait at least two years before we see the next season

@@MrThaHipthey wanna further the gen v plot before they release the last season, gen v is going to play a role in the last season too I think

​@@Halo-vh9kuyeah with his obsession to hunt down monsters, became a monster himself

Series finale? Bro this entire series is darker than the Dark.

Fr some people are thinking she well bcome the leader form marvel idk .

This was my thought too, her transformation looked extremely gnarly. If we look at her personality and traits, not too far fetched to believe she will become an abomination. Being inside vought tower brought the worse in her, so it's likely going to be an ugly looking power.

Nah it’s more of a Medusa type powers you can see snake looking things in her head

I thought she's gonna get some psychic powers because it looked like her brain grew and the TV glitched

The origin story of Abomination is similar to what went down with Ashley as far as her taking the V. Abomination took the super soldier serum instead, same thing 🤷🏽‍♂️

man if butcher has combined power from S3 and the tentacles then he would be matching soldier boy and homelander for sure

Temp V got mid diffed by Soldier Boy. If he can't beat SB, he's not beating HL.

​@mr.jameson218 not necessarily true. SB and butcher both have fighting experience. SB from the military and butcher from the streets. HL is a powerhouse, but all he really knows how to do is overpower and shoot eye lasers. That's why butcher was able to go toe to toe with him in season 3. HL was physically stronger, but the rage and fight experience butcher has leveled the fight, and having SB allowed them to take over the fight and I think would've won had HL not flew away. Even if UE didn't show up

It would be game over ​@@visionbhattarai7080

​@@visionbhattarai7080but then the Boys would have to stop him.

this guy using his brain

I wonder if the parasite would have difficulty piercing his skin to come out

@@blacknoir2404 nah its controlled i dont think he will have difficulty

That’s actually a really good idea. He already has cancer, what’s gonna happen, he gets more cancer? lol it’ll prob just make the tentacles larger or more powerful or both. I predict that butcher will tell Kessler to piss off at some point in season 5 and the tumorous cancer tentacles will exit his body somehow and he’ll prob gain his temp V powers permanently so he can finally fight homelander one last time on even footing

That’s exactly what I was thinking

Would make sense if not for hughies dad.

@@combatcarlit’s actually because he took temp v and then compound v. The temp v gave him cancer after 3-5 doses and the compound v went into his cancer/tumor instead of himself. It basically mutated his cancer into a sentient entity separated from himself. I’d bet money butcher is still just regular ol’ butcher but his cancer “protects him”.

@@combatcarltrue

@@combatcarl you’re right it just feels too coincidental for multiple characters to be getting these traits of “living” tentacles as super powers while we know Vought has been experimenting more with compound V in private.

The rabbit that only got Temp-V had this parasitic thing too. Without compound V. So that, and what Joe said, confirmed already, Temp-V gave butcher that parasite. And when he took Compound V, the parasite got the powers and not Butcher. It's not the compound V that gave butcher a parasite. That comes form TempV. But CompV made the parasite much stronger

Australian *

​@@jeanfrancisco2742Billy Butcher, the character, is British, so his comment isn't wrong. And Karl Urban is from New Zealand, not Australia.

@@jeanfrancisco2742he’s British.

Definitely, Neumann was one of the stronger supes and butcher just ripped her in half with ease

She couldn't even break free, she was TOTALLY helpless

I still doubt he beats soldier boy or homelander

Of course not. But I would say that he's stronger than all other existing supes​@@Varatus

@@Varatus homelander could just avoid the tentacles by flying away, soldier boy vs butcher would be interesting tho

When he chose not to feed Ryan those drug laced cookies, he came clean to him, that he was a bad man that didn't deserve to raise a kid. And when Mindstorm coma'd him, we also saw how he sees himself - He can't forgive himself for Lenny and just sees himself as another generation of his own dad. Dying a martyr might be the best fate he can reach at this point.

@@jiiaga5017 And leave Ryan as an orphan with no one to relate to? No unless Ryan's dying along with Homelander. Butcher is Ryan's last hope but he needs to be a Supe to understand and relate to Ryan.

@@clandestine736 Maev, Starlight, Hughie.. all people who could relate to Ryan. Supes or former Supes/temp v supes

@@jiiaga5017 But they don't know who Becca was. They ain't family which means they ain't stopping Ryan from going on a rampage if he's about to. That's what Becca symbolizes in Butcher's psyche.

​@@clandestine736 Butcher did end Ryan in the comics. The creators might do something similar in S2 of Gen V or final season(s5) of the Boys.

He definitely would but he has a fighting chance against butcher considering he can fry the v from supes

@@ShazzledWolf32 oh yeah I completely forgot about that lol... Yeah he'd be pretty tough to beat. Butchers best chance would be to lift him in the air, and turn him away from himself. He had no problem doing that to his last victim. I guess it comes down to how strong his tentacles are. If Soldier Boy can just rip them apart with ease, he's got this.

​@@Psych1_- Nah he can blow up like ball, look at season 3 finale with jump from Vought tower

@@Unkownflyingmanit takes time for him to blow and he has to be idle. Butcher would already rip him apart.

@@questharris7068 unlikely. Soldier Boy is clearly the most durable of all the supes. So far nothing has even scratched him while Homelander has had a bloody nose and perforated ear.

True

Then you haven't been watching the show.

@@mr.jameson218 stfu with the smart ass comments

Tbf, it took a temp V butcher and soldier boy to push homelander to the point of getting scared enough to run. So if they were in a similar situation and the tentacles could somehow keep homelander from flying, that could help

​@@mr.jameson218 temp v gave him homelanders powers except flight?? Have you been watching the show?

Well even if u are an immortal you would still try to avoid being damaged out of instinct

@@nakolulu411Specially since Butcher is human and has been shot numerous times, his survival instinct will always make him dodge bullets, unlike supes who have always been bulletproof.

@@luise8701 exactly

That's just muscle memory

He turned to aim a tentacle at the agent

But its not actually kessler, its just a darkwr partnof butchers mind that is portrayed as kessler

Maybe the cancer has some kind of self consciousness thanks to the Compound V, and it can stop harming Butcher and maybe even heal him in some way. I mean if it kills him, it dies as well, so it makes sense to keep Butcher alive.

Here’s hoping. I do think butcher will tell Kessler to piss off at some point in season 5 and the cancer tentacles will exit his body somehow and maybe, just maybe, he’ll reacquire his temp v powers but keep them permanently for his final standoff with homelander

​@@Jimmy_Rings Same

​@@Jimmy_Ringsthe thing is that Kessler would die outside butcher.

That's really dumb sounds like something a child would write tbh

@@lordfreeza_ it happened in the animated series tho lol might happen in the tv show too

Venom could take them both By The Way

​@Nigel_Constantine75 who asked?

@@human_person549 you really got me there

Probably just take the powers away. And then it would be like before he took the V, just regular cancer, but without the added bonus of being able to kill almost any supe effortlessly

oh Sweet Home… god i fucking love that series. imagine Butcher giving into his desire to kill homelander, and turns into a Sweet Home monster, something that looks like Hyun’s.

Sweet Home is absolutely peak bro

I thought I was the only one to see Tokyo Ghoul, 😅😅 most underated

Sweet home was a amazing manwha

Cha Hyun was SO freaking awesome with that wing, freaking ripped that massive Protein monster to shreds

Haha guys Pornography

@@FardeenRiyadh16 men of culture am I right

​@@FardeenRiyadh16 pffft, but not all porn is tentacles

At this point it'll probably just kill him before he gets a chance to fight Homelander, the constant mix of Temp V and Compound V would likely shut down his organs and brain Starlight already told him before the season 3 finale that constant use of Temp V was turning his and Hughie's brains into swiss cheese which is why Butcher stopped Hughie, and why he himself developed cancer in the first place. If him taking Compound V on top of that resulted in the parasite within him, I can only imagine taking a temporary, experimental, and fatal version of V will just finish him off, likely powering the parasite to the point it rips Butcher apart from within and takes on a form of it's own. Based on the show however, I could see them having Butcher do that and be strong enough to kill Homelander, only to succumb to the Parasite and it becomes the last villain to be killed

Just stick homelander with the virus, the guy who made it already said it'll work on homelander.

Venom is more accurate

@@Alcapone901 Carnage.

@@Alcapone901 More like Riot maybe...

Prototype

I’m thinking he’s more VENAGE or maybe CARNOM 🤔

feels like The Boys will have no good ending

@@moofikit should. Enough tragedy and chaos have been unleashed. Some proper parental love would go a long way ❤

i think that’s what happened with a-train, he took blue v to give himself an advantage in the race in season 1 but ended up having heart problems later, they might be unrelated though i can’t quite remember.

lol what , he is on homelanders side pal and so will be soldierboy if you saw the ending of s4 , he also has sage , psycho ward girl , and an army of supes . its grim for the boys rn

Your the only person giving them the idea if they haven’t said it yet they haven’t thought it yet

Are you fr right now.

@peterthor9940 RU-vid been deleting ALL my stuff recently...wtf man.

was wondering the same thing

Clothes not close

Actually homelander could train,he just doesn't because he's already the strongest rn,reminder he got a muscle suit on

Hes not half human hes a full supe this aint dragon ball z the powers are different here homelander doesnt train and is powerful

Compound V is a magical substance that defies the laws of physics. If a person is getting super strength from it, they'd have super strength regardless of their body's muscle tone. Supes cannot increase their powers through training, only by taking more V. Extremely strong Supes are not created through training regimens. They're made in labs with frequent doses of V. Ryan already has his powers, and Mallory wanted to teach him how to fight, not increase them.

“I gave me word I would protect him”

That wasn’t an emotion. His emotion was to kill Ryan, but he kept his promise to his wife to keep Ryan safe.

yep that was stupid

​@@drew_taylor2475lol it was totally an emotion..

Soldier boy was right, butcher folded hard! Ryan needs to end, he’s psycho not a kid! Ryan hurt grace who cared for him, that should say enough! Butcher needs to grow up, end Ryan!

All hope is lost is probably what he thought

I think Butcher inherently understands the real issue with Superheroes because he understands his own "evil" as a human. You take a 14 year old kid, tell him he is going to be locked up, given no choice in the matter, and see how he reacts? Especially after he has just spent time with his Father who has opened up that the reason he is the way he is, is because THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. And he deep down doesn't want to become his father. Yet the people saying that they are going to help him, love him, and lead him to not be like that...are the ones threatening to keep him there. It is the ultimate morale dilemma, and that is why Butcher was against Malary doing it and was trying to reason with him. But he saw what any teenager would do. Fight for the freedom. The issue is. He has super powers. And now that Ryan has killed her, he is just going down the same rabbit hole that Butcher himself has. He is hurting the people closest to him. He is watching his "son" become him, the worst part of him, while simultaneously becoming Homelander. The person Butcher hates the most. Because deep down Butcher knows that Homelander is a reflection of the dark side of his own humanity. I think the whole, "Releasing a plague and killing them all," is the equivalent of Butcher, deep down, knowing that if HUMANS cause so much pain/harm to one another, giving them powers just 100x's it. And the ONE person close enough to him to prove that wrong, would be Ryan.... But he just see's a scared little boy who can't make the right decision. Like him leaving his brother with his dad. He keeps looking at the world and wanting to put an end to the arms race. A constant theme even spoken by the future VP, "You hurt me, I hurt you, we keep going." Or all of The Boys being offered, "An out," to "Stop playing the game," to just, "Go be happy." This idea of... the journey is what led Kimiko and Frenchie to meet one another. For Hughey to have met Starlight. For all of these amazing relationships to have happened.... they found their happiness. But they can't leave the thing that is what caused them to meet in the first place. There is quite a bit of theming around Trauma, Abuse, Addiction which leads into scenes of BDSM, Drug Use, Trauma-Bonding just real world dark side of humanity that makes you see the grey areas they are all navigating. Only with super powers, everything is far more explosive/caustic.

Maeve is dead

@@jaboy150No she lost her powers

​@@jaboy150no?

No

Agreed. If Butcher had a year or so to train and get use to his temp V powers he could finished Homelander, people kept saying Homelander was able to fight 3 supes but they didn't think that Soldier Boy was weakened form his nuke blast and that Hughie and Butcher haven't had enough time to get use to their powers. Not to mention that Kessler easily ripped Neumann in half and she's the second most powerful supe they've faced

I read that in Venom's voice.

No it's more like We are oi

​@@3849oopoi o oi

Fr but gross 💀

This season was the exact opposite of season 3. That season was absolutely fantastic, but the finale sucked so hard it retroactively tainted it. This season kinda sucked at first tbh, but the ending was so good that it more than makes up for it.

@TheIonBull No absolutely not……… Lovecraft is better left to Lovecraft………

it gives me The Darkness vibes

Reminded me of midoriya’s blackwhip powers from my hero academia

@@Spacewinterknightrandom ass vibe bro 💀

He doesnt hate supes He literally spared Zoey

I don't know about that man I think homelander would Properly get his ass kick by this new power what he got because we don't know how strong it is yet but I think it will kill homelander but Soldier boy will help homelander to fight it together but they we Properly struggle because how strong it is

yep but butcher still got some power like instant healing and durability cause when the tentacles entered his body he healed too quick unlike the rabbit who died. All the compud V is in the tumor and as joe kessler mentioned (Juice you up) he means its providing more Compound V to billy so he is getting more stronger

Noob lamo

me too!

I typed testicles on some social media platforms instead of tentacles

Well this is the boys show. If you watch all previous ep of thw series then you shouldn't be surprise

_😹😹😹 wut?_

He’s a little squeaky voiced bratt

Nah tbh I’ve never really liked Ryan. Dude was annoying af. I mean the only time I felt emotion for him was when Butcher yelled at him. I really want to see an epic fight with butcher and homelander but I feel like if Ryans there he’ll just ruin it.

Homlander use a small force on his lasers, we saw this in season 1 where homlander used on milk.

Because homelander can control the intensity of his heat vision and he wasn't trying to kill Neumann.

@@mansonbanda8330 but why does Nueman die from that and she was shot in the head and came back to life earlier?

@@johnolmos8670 guns don't work on the most powerful supes. The tentacles are far more powerful

​@@johnolmos8670I'd assume it's like how diamonds r brittle but also one of the hardest materials

Homelanders lasers only do a little dmg to stormfront. Look what Ryan did to stormfront. I think he is the only one who is stronger than homelander.

Homelander can probably control the intensity of his heat vision.

Neumann can't kill Homelander

@@sus_c7rn Key word "POTENTIALLY". Some websites say that there is a possibility she could.

@@szybkiwojtas7895I seriously doubt it. If Neumann could kill Homelander she wouldn’t have gone to The Boys for help. You can also see her eyes do the white thing after Homelander exposes her on live TV implying her powers are active, that might mean she tried to retaliate but failed.

This isn't a theory this is obviously what is happening lmao

​@@mrplayfulshade1038nah Butcher not getting out of this alive

This is literally what already happened 😭😭😭

Was going to say it really felt like Mercer

Im not thinking the the parasite is bursting out of his chest exclusively. Hes now the boys Venom and it might manifest differently over time. Fingers crossed! 4:40

I think it’s cool as is but I have a feeling we’ll see it expressed in some different ways the more Butcher embraces his Kessler side

Its not a symbiote Its already said Kessler is nothing but Butcher's bad side

Are you fr? 😂

Is there something I'm missing?

I thought it tied nicely into the theme of he has become what he swore to destroy
