Homelander Meets with Stan Edgar | The Boys | Prime Video 

The best part here is that Homelander can check Stan's blood pressure and heart rate... This makes his disconcerting look even better since we know he knows that Stan doesn't fear him at all. It is not just just a facade... Stan really owns the conversation from start to finish.

The most savage moment in the show. Gus Fring always knows how to handle business

Homelander: „I'm in charge" Stan: „Do you. feel in charge?"

3:29 how perfectly he captured being a child in essence lying to his father

When lawful evil dominates chaotic evil

I love how this is presumably the first time that Stan has ever directly roasted Homelander and after this moment he is never polite to him again. 😂

Stan: One of the only men who can stand up to homelander without flinching. You know who else that can do that? Butcher

I just realized Stan was watching his daughter at the beginning of this

Homelander storms in there like the boss, and sulks out like an employee.

Giancarlo Esposito and Anthony Starr on the screen at the same time, wow. The raw talent these 2 unleashed in this scene was mesmerizing. Hopefully Esposito will return in S4.

I love Stan Edgar's implacable expression at 1:36 and Homelander's discomfort at 1:40 😂

" In perfect American" gets me everytime

That long pause at 1:30 that establishes Stan's in control. Wonderful.

1:34 That look was amazing by Mr. Esposito. It was like Stan was saying, "Are you really trying to threaten me?" with his serious and stern expression.

You can tell how angry Edgar was with Homelander, he speaks with more emotion then I remember.

Giancarlo just kills every role he does. Love this dude

The thing I admire about Stan Edgar is how he not least bit intimidated by homelander even when homelander has the upper hand. All homelander can do is be imposing and scream at you.

The facial twitches and head tilts HL does make him look like SUCH a time bomb, it’s awesome.

Gus stared down the Devil and did not flinch for a second. Now that's power.

The little grin at 1:33 when he thinks he’s threatened Stan, then the pause while he reads his blood pressure, then the change in facial expression as he realises Stan is not the least bit intimated.

I love how he says "In perfect American" instead of english lmfao

Its interesting, people like to say Stan always checks Homelander. In actuality I think Stan knows Homelander is an equal or greater enemy to him on the world stage and at Vought, so he attacks Homelanders insecurities and Daddy issues and strategic mistakes to keep him in line. Since thats…basically the only thing Stan can do at all, since Homelander can take the company with his bare hands

Giancarlo Esposito has really been typecast as "pharmaceutical boss"

In retrospect the look Stan gives homelander when he says "soldier boy" makes more sense now

"Tek knight lives"

I find it funny that the thumbnail calls Homelander the “Perfect American“, when his actor is actually from New Zealand.

Can't wait for S4. Looks like it just wrapped filming too! Can't wait.

He will never get the satisfaction of making him feel fear. He just doesn't give a shit.

Missed opportunity for homelander to not mention "his other business" that would've definitely scared Gus for sure _🙄_

I never noticed Stan mention soldier boy here in season2. Nice

Coolest thing about this clip in retrospect was the foreshadow to Soldier Boy and maybe even Gen V... i wonder how involved Stan Edgar is with that project...

We need Soldier Boy and Stan Edgar back for season 4!

2:38 best part

Real power is domnstrated here, brilliant scene.

Never mess with Stan.. you ought to be Butcher 😂 to do that or else Saul Goodman

Pj never disappoints

giancarlo as Stan are absolutely have a REAL POWER

Why do I get the impression that Stan Edgar is possibly one of Frederick Vaults early test subjects and took the company from him. The way he talks about him as a matter of fact and with some disdain when he was compared to Disney and Eddison.

Homelander running around says he’s Vought and he knows absolutely nothing about the founder. What a joke

the writing and acting are WILD

Homelanders biggest fear of Stan - he knew Mike Ermemtraut was on a roof somewhere with him in his scope

The most frightening thing for Homelander is KNOWING that Stan Edgar isn’t afraid of him. It was so nice seeing Homelander get put in his place for once.

I'll bet if homelander had a different tone that edgar might've accommodated him somewhat.

If Stan Edgar had Homelander's power, he would be the secret master of the whole world.

My prediction for the broader arc of the next season(s): The Boys form a temporary alliance with Stan Edgar to bring Homelander down, pushing Homelander into full-blown psychosis that sees him finally shed all the bullshit heroic veneers and attempt to overthrow the government. When Homelander is finally defeated, it is revealed (either through an investigation by the Boys or through direct admission by the character himself) that Stan Edgar is actually Frederick Vought - granted shapeshifting powers akin to Doppelganger's after having injected himself with Compound V during the Payback days. This would, unsurprisingly, coincide with Edgar's rise to the top of the corporate hierarchy in the 1980s, which was referenced in the season 3 flashbacks. Stormfront might've even hinted at this in season 2 with that line "Frederick had a solution for everything." While that could just be a twisted Final Solution reference, I think it goes deeper. I think Frederick's shadow is still looming over Vought Incorporated in a very literal sense. He was willing to give his wife V, why wouldn't he be willing to inject himself as well? It would also explain his complete disregard for Homelander. He was a high-ranking Nazi involved with Mengele-type human experimentation during the Holocaust. He is a ruthless, Machiavellian, and unfeeling sociopath to whom the ends will always justify the means. To him, Homelander is just a faulty experiment. Edgar even says as much by calling Homelander "bad product". With Stormfront incapacitated, Homelander can't be controlled any longer, so it's best to annihilate him and start fresh. Also, mark my words, it's gonna be revealed that Stormfront was Homelander's biological mother. It perfectly fits Homelander's disgusting Oedipus complex, and Soldier Boy even talks about his fling with Stormfront (as Liberty) in the 1950s. No surprise Stormfront would suggest to Vought the idea of combining Soldier Boy's DNA with hers as part of their effort to create a new "ubermensch" lab-rat that would grow up to be Homelander.

Dudes got to have some superpower.

This was such an empty threat on Homelander's part. Where would he have moved on TO? He probably has a significant savings, probably more money than most of us could spend in our lifetimes. But he's used to a lifestyle that's so expensive, most of us can't even conceive of it. And it's not like any other company would pick him up because there AREN'T any other companies that use supes.

I fucking love Espositos acting. Easily within my top 10, probably even top 5 favorite actors!

I wonder if Stan Edgar has implanted in Homelander a psychological weakness when relating to those who don't fear him. If so, and if he is now the only one who knows about it, perhaps he still has power even though he is technically no longer in charge of Vought.

Stan Edgar should get a Green Lantern power ring for standing up to Homelander like that.

The tension these two create on screen is incredible. Homelander is so frustrated in his inability to intimidate Stan and Stan knows it.

3:44 Now that moment, that music, I knew how scary Stan really was.

What compound Edgar took to have those balls?

Stan Edgar is the perfect American. Capitalist Ruthless No nonsense attitude

I love hoe Homelander and edgar are both playing characters almost. Homelander saying "perfect American" shows he's this commerical, American figure. And Edgar talking about their origins in a private convo says things like "which we condemn in the strongest of possible terms" as if he's giving a press conference.

Homelander was NOT up to los pollos hermanos standards, he tried to cook but instead got roasted hard

When you think about it, most bosses are smaller than the laborers they employ. Even I have had zero fear checking 6ft buff employees, the power dynamic and gap in knowledge

If I were homelander I’d be like, “shiiii, my bad bro” then proceed to dap up Gus

“In perfect American” 😂😂😂

3:32 lmao i love how homelander acts like a toddler whenever he is caught in a lie

Homelander, where's your daddy? 🔥 i need some Soldier Boy

1:33 It was this moment I knew who was the most feared person in the room 😮

Funny that homelander signed off on all the 7 except stormfront but stormfront ended up being his favorite

man it really suck that you had beep the bad words out thank youtube

You are under a misconception that we are a superhero company, we are not. What we are really is a Harold's 😂😂😂.

dude tried to play chicken with gus fring

Now that’s the guy they should bring back and make a member of The Boys.

It’s like walking in a room throwing your balls on a table demanding a raise. Only for the boss to show you a compilation of security footage all the dhit you’ve broken.

It's real weird thinking about a Tek Knight movie after seeing Gen V... 4:17

If ryan was in school in season 4 he would go brightburn on the bullies

Man I love the boys but I need the other prime video 18 superhero show… You know the one

Gus

I love him saying american instead of English

Imagine, Stan wasn’t afraid of Homelander because he’s literally stronger 😂

In perfect American

That whole "I am doing this for my daugther" act is not fooling anyone Victoria. I know you are just using Zoe as an excuse to do shitty deeds.

Bro always in the pharmaceutical business selling drugs

he never actually answers homelander's point tho

i feel like there has to be a Magneto-variant out there. probably some mountain in Germany/Austria that nobody goes onto because nobody ever comes back

I hope Ryan will also go brightburn on butcher in season 4

Came for the memories, stayed for the Gus Fring comments. Walter White is alive and cooking up Temp V. Clearly compound v is blue, Walts meth was blue... Wake up sheeple!

I like that Stan calls him "Homolander."

wow straight-up hardcore demoralization

Wish this was on Netflix.

i was waiting for the bad product line

What's funny If you listen closely Homelander technically still has the advantage here, but Stan dominates him emotionally so badly that he ends up "losing" regardless. Vought's greatest asset is not Homelander but their confidential formula for compound V? Well that might have been true in the past tense, except it's no longer confidential now, you can't put the cat back into the bag. So with that advantage gone they really have no choice but to lean more into the superhero aspect of their business. You're all scurrying like madman trying to clean up Homelanders mess? Ok, and? That's supposed to give you power over him? If anything it shows your weakness since HE made a mess and YOU have no choice but to clean it up for him and meanwhile you can't even take any real punitive measures against him. Homelander's actually getting everything he wants, things are going in his favor but he's not emotionally stable enough to realize it.

i miss stan

2:38 I can’t believe Oppenheimer is in The Boys

Season 4 spoiler... Given the reveal of his backstory and how they clearly "programmed" his brain. I wonder if this was akin to Robocop where he was programmed/brain washed from a young age not to hurt Stan. That could be why stan is calm too...he knows that subconciously home lander can't touch him.

"you are not our most valuable asset" he literally is, he can do and take anything why would you need money when you control someone who can take over the whole world easily

"PERFECT AMERICAN"🤣🤣

Homelander got turned into a cosplayer..

Ahh, simpler times

More clips please!

This is weird, why he has a contract, he doesn't need money, he can do whatever the f*** he want

In perfect american lol

Definitely Time

I guess Japan was not in their WW2.

Where would Homelander go isnt the seven the only superhero team and if there are others besides seven why can't we follow them instead
