Gen V - Season 1 Eps 8 Reaction 

Homelander on screen is honestly scarier to me than almost any horror movie or villain I've ever seen. Just his presence in that short amount of time, the moment he lands it's like the world stops moving and everyone stops breathing. Pure terror.

At the end of the boys season 3 homelander basically took control of Ashley, the deep and A-train when he revealed to them he killed black noir. So Adam's question about Ashley seeing the 4 were trying to help, she'd have to do what homelander says.

"Oh great, faceless guards." That rapidly became very literal.

Emma's powers must be linked to her emotions. She just have to feel "small" to shrink.

12:11 the name does need work. My suggestion would be The God Guard. Works for one person or a group and still invokes images of protectors of God U. But I’m not in marketing so what do I know.

When Homelander showed up, for those first few seconds, nobody knew what the f was going to happen...

Why did you have to bring Mary Martin into this?🤣

yay, just binged the playlist yesterday. thank you for uploading so fast 🤩🤩

This show was so damn beyond amazing. I was not excited to watch it AT ALL! I thought it was gonna be lame and I was WROOOOONNNGGG!! Never again am I going to doubt a show that is in this universe. Ever. The Boys and Gen V are just masterclasses in merging TV shows together!

1) seems most (all?) Supes have some level of regenerative powers. 2) and once Homelander makes an audible, it's up to Vought PR to back him up

Wasn't S2 greenlit around the finale premiere?

I think Marie`s blood protected her.

It takes a several seconds but if Marie could learn to stop the flow of blood in the carotid artery she could easily knock people unconsious.

Emma's powers are all mental ... but her emotional trauma means she only turns when she feels small or big when she is pigging out ... Her powers will be controlled once her mental state is in a better place.

That virus storyline is for sure going to be a part of the next season of the boys

*In season 3 episode 3 of “The Boys”, when Huey went to the foster home for the “super-abled”, Marie was one of the kids on the computer screen homepage for adoption. It’s super subtle but easy to catch. Can’t wait for more*

I think Courtenay actually foreshadowed Emma's shrinking scene in this episode when she said a potential title for her show was "Feeling Small."

Honest opinion, Homelander is the best TV villain. This episode solidified it that. Those two minutes were so anxious!

Do you realize how "fast" Sam's punch needs to be to penetrate the helmet's faceplate and the person's skull without knocking them backward?

I kept my expectations low for this series and ended up loving it. It’s a great companion piece to the original series.

When I watched Emma shrink in the finale I realized her powers are linked to emotions (feeling big/small), which means she actually DOES have an ED

Both: "You can feel his blood." Me: YES! I just *LOVE* us comic book geeks! If we would get powers... we'd use them right. 🥰

So I’m rewatching season 3 of The Boys and Marie has a cameo that’s really easy to miss. When Hughie goes to the orphanage to get info on Neuman he looks at a computer with one of the employees because he’s looking to “adopt” a kid and Marie’s picture and name is smack in the center of the computer screen.

So at the very end when they are all in that room I know it's a couple things. Emma has a slushie and Jordan has a cell phone. So I wonder is it reality or is somebody messing with Marie's mind?

The Boys season 4 is gonna be epic

Jay looked so shellshocked after that episode, umm Turtle Power

I loved the formation of Cate's team this episode, it's like seeing Emma Frost lead a young Brotherhood - they did a lot of things this season I'd love to see in an X-Men series, as far as thematic beats and powers usage.

Also, love when your editor gets creative, 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You guys are amazing! I'm big fan from Brazil!

Go Cate and Sam!! But, also....Go Butcher and The Boys!!

My theory has been because they are making a point of Butcher being on the outs and after Homelander gets off, that the supes of the Boys learn about the four and that becomes Annie and Kimiko’s mission while the rest try to deal with the virus and who now actually has it.

I thought this season's Marie storyline was really lovely. She began the season believing that she needed to prove to herself and her sister that she wasn't a monster by being a hero, but at the conclusion she realized that being a good person was all that mattered and ended up being a hero anyway. I'm excited to follow her journey in the future.

With the relatively low body count that’s being reported I wonder if Homelander is pressuring Vought to only count the Supes that were killed since that definitely fits for him

If you rewatch the series you can see Andre having lil spasms while he’s using his powers it’s a great little detail and shows of jus how good of an actor he is and jus how good this story is

And that's the finale guys!!! Gets us excited for the new season of The Boys😈😈

This really got out of hand fast, huh? 😅

@9:56 Emma's power being tied to her emotions is interesting and something that would've been picked up on a lot sooner had her mother not forced her to be bulimic. it makes so much sense that when Sam says 'you're not a hero' she 'feels small' and shrinks...so glad you guys watched this show and i'm excited for the next season!

I'm calling it, Sam is going to be the new Black Noir, it just makes sense.

17:35 The Dean Scream, haven't heard that since '07

Nah the scene with the 2 girls freaking out about the wifi is one of my favourite bits lol

Here’s an idea, if there are any movies/shows nominated for award season like the golden globes or Emmy’s, you guys have a special show reviewing some of those nominated movies and shows.

Mmmmm Whataburger...anyway...this show pulled a clever lil trick at the end by switching Prof X and Magneto's roles, and we didn't see it coming all season. Pretty sneaky! My theory is that Rufus must know somebody with healing powers, or maybe the student medical center has one.

The swiftness of Sam's transformation was really dissatisfying and partly contributes to my believing that somehow much of the finale was the "last push" Shetty requested from Cate. On that note, Cate's transformation from trusting and needy in the scene with her solo confrontation with Shetty into murderous sup supremacist in her next scene with the rest of the kids rang false too. But back on Sam, the way he turned on Emma, didn't just ring false for saying she wasn't a hero, but accusing her of doing anything to get people to like her would seem to me to require more emotional intelligence than I think he has, and insight into her insecurities he couldn't have spent enough time with her to gain. Emma was the principal member of the main cast who didn't participate in the collective psychodrama that forced everyone to confront their skeletons and insecurities in Cate's head. But if she had, I imagine she would have experienced something exactly as cutting, as calculated to strike her to her core, as what Sam delivered.

Adam wearing that shirt is ironic this shows Arc had some great Reactors (had to stretch for that pun lol)

Adam’s mind is blown.

Think about this in Season 2 we are going to get Kate trying to keep Sam in check, and after what we saw with Luke, we know that's something she cant sustain long term, even tho she's more powerful off the drugs, Sam is far more unstable to start with. Also, I think Emma is going to be the key to them getting out, so I'm really hoping Season 2 turns into a New Mutanats/Runaways style story.

Yeah, this show had the best twist at the end. I've got to assume that more is going on that what we saw here. My questions, is Shetty actually dead or was that just planted in their minds? Was getting Kate onto the Seven part of the plan so she would have access to Homelander and the others? This might not be the end game, Shetty wants Homelander dead, and she is/was very good at playing a long game.

The only thing we know with absolute surety about The Boys and now this show is that it will be COMPLETELY f'd up! 🤯 Can't wait for season 4!

17:36 He said the thing!!

first 🎉 so excited to watch 🙏

And heeeeere we go 😒

I love that this finale didn't waste any time. It when straight to business

Supposedly the running plan for the “boys verse” is to bounce between gen-v and the boys

This show is better written and planned than the boys. I love the characters in the boys more, but it is because the show have been around for years while gen v is new.

Can i just say Maverick is nothing like his dad. He choses to stay invisible and helped his friends. Even when he was told to kill cate, instead he walked up to her confused trying to talk to her

The show was so much better than I expected. Didn't start watching until two days ago and already finished it. Love The Boys and can't wait for season 4. But I thought this show might be superfluous and a "did we really need that" kinda thing. But wow did this contextualize a lot of shit. Great script. Also great acting all around.

opinion. I don't think Homelander is the sole reason behind the PR switch. I mean within the first episode they were already going to do the same with Marie after the bar incident. What are they going to tell the public? The truth??? That there's an illegal facility experimenting and on kids underneath the school that isn't even a real school, and said kids broke out and create a murderous rampage? Or do they weigh their options of leaving the 4 actual heroes to keep their mouths shut after all is said and done? The easiest solution for these 4 do-gooders? Let them take the fall. Lock them away. Keep the secret.

Am I the only one who thinks Homelander is racist, which is why he didn't believe Marie, Andre & Jordan? Kinda makes sense he would make the blond & blue eyed kids the heroes.

The Adam touching Jay randomly show.

Man I love getting that notification that u guys have uploaded

That finale was crazy and cameos were perfect :)

The door is more like that found on a sub and it’s on the ceiling.

Season 4 is gonna be crazy as hell

5:20 Sam really got into those guards heads.

Headpopper’s back 🎶

One Piece?

"You took that blast like a champ" what if andre is underselling it cause of ignorance and she literally reformed part of herself with her blood powers like venom lol

I am so stoked seeing this up now. Hope you guys really enjoyed this series. 🍑🍑🍑🍑

5:19 no, the last guard eats a knuckle sandwich on their way out when Cate tells him to

I love that this show eventually became the X-Men of the Boys Universe. Except one of the heroes has Magneto-like telekenesis and one of the villains has Professor X-like mind powers. Very excited to see where that concept goes in Season 2.

Sam and Kate are horrible... It had some bad parts but still great final episode. Like that Gangnam style joke and just live streaming the guy blowing his head off and feel nothing but then feels empty and good, and getting in to a broken helicopter... 16:45 Haha obviously Homelander didn't shoot to kill, he can regulate his laser. Otherwise they also wouldn't be looked up.

Why does every react channel edit in Family guy style cutaway clips ? Is this some new tactic to avoid copyright strikes ? Cause it sucks 😅

Remember how y'all predicted there was going to be a training/ tournament arc? Lol, didn't expect this did you? And that's what makes this show and The Boys so good. They make you think it's going one way, then BAM! As always, I love y'alls videos, and you two remind me of me and my best friend. Love you both!
