You gotta love Homelander is so furious at the fact that he is surrounded by yes-men who don’t dare to challenge his orders, and yet the second one intern does exactly that, he instantly lasers them through the skull.
I think you misunderstand. He does not want to be challenged. But he wants others to do stuff themselves, independently and without the need of his say so all the time.
Yeah it’s exactly why he’s punishing sister sage with subtly because she took control of a conversation in front of others making him look weak. He’s so petty.
"Let me team up with with the guy who raped my wife to save his kid from the guy who I was originally teaming up with to kill the first guy" yeah, really peak. And they have the nerve to talk shit about the comics
I actaully like the character(and the actress) and I think her role will pan out better with Homelander. But... her character is becoming more sadist over the seasons since she was promoted.
Yeah I am terrified of the fact the writers introduced another octopus, and she seems nice as hell... I do not want to know what demented fate they have in mind for this one Whoever on the writers team has some vendetta against octopi needs to stop I have enough trauma they're doing weird enough shit as it is
@@SéaFidif you said "You kill everyone who challenge anything you said, so there is nothing left and i would definitely had same fate after this" Most of time he wouldn't kill you because he doesn't want to be predictable, but deep inside, he mark you as a dead meat
Jesus Christ when I thought the show couldn’t get more fucked up 😂 Also I’m loving that Homelander has completely lost it. Anthony Starr just absolutely nails his role, his acting is incredible and the way he portrays Homelander is just in a different level
"Not one of you has the stomach to challenge anything i say" Yeah its not they probably gonna end up without theirs if they try to challenge homelander's opinions
Except Starlight deserved this. The 'good girl' was a monster during pageant beauty contest. Ruining the life of a 12yo just for fun Karma was a bitch.
@@Awelbeckk I know this is a difficult bit of nuance to understand but being a mean person at one point in your life doesn't mean you deserve to be sexually assaulted a decade later
@@stephenkrahling1634 nah, your actions as a 12/13 year old in a beauty pageant where adults encourage you to be ruthless and sassy definitely means that you need to be sexually assaulted a decade later. To be real though, this incel loser clearly has wanted an excuse to justify this sexual assault since it happened. No normal brain processes things this way
You missed the point of the whole thing. He wanted one of them to say no to him. All they do is act as his "yes men" and even though deep down, that's the only thing he really wants from them, he finds himself annoyed by their behaviour. It's why he took Sage into the seven. Yet he's already getting annoyed by her taking charge. This isn't a reasonable person. He doesn't follow logic, just the current emotion he feels at each given moment.
And thus you see the whole thing about his character. Deep deep down he doesn’t *really* want everyone to obey him and do everything he says- he really just wants people to love him; aka he wants to feel the love he never received as a child (hence the scenes of him confronting this within himself in a mirror) He’s so in denial and disbelief that he never recieves this genuine love even as an adult (largely because he’s a violent psychopath that kills people) or when he does it’s “taken away from him” that he’s being driven to tyranny instead, “I’d prefer to be loved… but being feared is fine by me”
@@astrorobert7 Homelander isn't a god. He's just a bully with a ton of power and poor emotional control. No different than a petty dictator with a nuke.
The silent back and forth between The Deep and A-Train is AMAZING! you could just tell: "Look...man." "I know. I don't wanna die either." "I'm sorry. I got to..." "Fuckin' A man...."
Don't worry guys, A-Train would use his super speed to "finish" in 1 second, so The Deep wouldn't suffer so much, this was just Homelander's teaching about sexuality, friendship and teamwork.
It’s so funny how it turns out he was only testing them to see if they would do it and he’s all annoyed thinking “Seriously? You queers were actually gonna go through with it?” 🤣
@@TheCourtsOfLoveIf you're talking about the show that was a shape-shifter, and they never did anything. If you're talking about the comics I don't know though, to be honest I haven't read them
It kinda makes sense if you look throughout the show he only spares those people who stand up to him, butcher, most of boys, stan edger, his nurse or therapist or whatever she was in her lab, He only kills those who he thinks are lowlifes or has some personal beef with them, or if they disrespect him out of nothing.
@@klas-6 Frenchie gay. Just kidding. Feel like many of the characters are regressing into caricatures of themselves, with many of the show's little complexities fading as a result. The plot is also starting to get oversaturated, with only half the plotlines being actually worthwhile IMO. I think The Boys peaked in either S1 or S2, and there's been a steady decline since somewhere in S3.
@@dubbeking I can kinda see what you're saying, yeah. Kimoko kinda just became a generic swearing, sex joking character for some eps and i still found Hughie's 'discomfort of having a strong gf' weird since it would've made more sense to have him want powers to not feel helpless instead of a man weak, woman strong moment. I feel like S4 been handling the characters well tho for the most part apart from Sage who was the smartest person in the world and yet didn't realise that...well it's a spoiler but you might know what happened
@@klas-6 Remember when Homelander wanted to leave Ryan alone after a bad episode, simply because Ryan didn't want to talk to anyone at the time and Homelander actually put Ryan's needs first? I could never see S3/4 Homelander doing something like that. Some would call that development, I would call it a decidedly less interesting one. Homelander is at his best when there are spots of light. Remember when Frenchie was the techie who actually contributed to the team? Now he's just defined by whoever he's currently attracted to. Remember when Starlight *killed a person?* And now she's all shook up about meeting someone she bullied when she was a teenager. Where the hell did the stakes go? I actually very much miss the whole debacle about Hughie feeling inferior due to Starlight having to protect him all the time. It's a taboo subject that I thought The Boys was fairly brave for approaching with an open mind, until they just scrapped that plotline entirely along with Temp V as a whole. Bleh. I hope The Boys gets better again, but I'm not holding my breath at the moment.
@@dubbeking honestly I feel like Homelander's inconsistency there makes sense being that he's having mid life crisis stuff, though if that was intentional then the writers should have made that clearer. Oh no definitely, Frenchie actually had more going for him, especially being the first person to kill a member of the Seven. I feel like the whole "who he's attracted to" only became problematic as a result of the whole Kimoko will-they, won't-they. And Nina saying he's like a dog doesn't make sense since he initially rejected Butcher many times. Yh that moment never got brought up again or suggested that Starlight was becoming more cynical, less pure and more like The Boys. I could easily see Hughie eventually having to be the one that challenges everyone's hard aggressiveness in some other arc too Yh I think they're steering off more towards off screen events that happened for The Boys more than the actual onscreen threat with Vought and Homelander. A lot more can be done with all of this rather than retreating back into pass behaviours multiple times. Plus the whole theme on consequences that the show is doing right now could've easily still be done just by using what we already know.
Fun fact: it would have been more ironic of he had said BLOW US referring to himself, black noir and the deep. Considering that s exactly what happened to ani in the comics. And the 3 are already on this particular scene. Nice easter egg
He knows and he loves it but at the same time, he hates it because then that means he had to always have to be the decision maker which frustrates him.
@@joaovitorsantosdasilva7865 "mf is expecting most of the show not to be mediocre". People who defend this show always telegraph that they have no standards.
To be fair, he kind of got his just desserts when he had sex with that freaky chick who then put her hands in his gills when he didn’t want her to, which technically counts as SA as well. But I don’t think Deep ever really learned his lesson.
He wants them not he be useless and display some level of autonomy. Right now, he is the only one who has to decide what to do and carry the whole company on his shoulders
I can explain: he hates that they are being false or fake. He wants people to agree with and adore him, he hates that they do not truly agree in their hearts with what he has to say. I would be fine with fake suckups though, but I have different issues and am a different kind of messed up. Homelander though truly wants to be loved, adored, and he hates that all he can get is an act from people.
… he’s literally killed, threatened or fired anyone that’s ever disagreed him. Since episode 2 of the whole show. WTF did he think was going to happen???
