Homelanders 'Saving' Hostages Scene I The Boys: Diabolical 1x08 Clip 

This is supposedly the same Homelander from the live action series, only younger

It takes place before the show started during a time where Homelander atleast tried to act like a superhero.

Isn’t it weird how a live action show can have a prequel cartoon like gremlins secrets of the mogwai

His comic book counterpart was a nice guy until black noir snapped and made him think he was doing f**ked up so he became bad.

This is meant to show what Homelander WAS... in spite of his nightmarish treatment by his creators, he still wanted to be a hero... but his inexperience caused these death... then Black Noir freed him of any consequences for his actions.

And like. Yall shot at his ass.

According to terrorists logic means nonsense

@@amplifier2837 To be fair he is bulletproof. But yeah they didn’t know that plus he was being reasonable and not sarcastic like

@@rusty7984 It doesn’t matter even if they knew he was bullet proof. If you’re able to Jill’s the kidnappers without hurting the hostages you absolutely do it. If your willing to risk the hostages lives then the “hero” is just a self righteous idiot

@@Obi-Wanthepyromaniac I dunno how this world operates but generally typical rules of engagement ROE you can respond with deadly force if they use deadly force first. So up until Homelander blew up the gun he was doing alright. Honestly he should’ve just layered the dude or stop him with his speed but eh he’s a dumbass

These idiots had no idea what they were doing

They also shot at Homelander without knowing he was in invulnerable to bullets, could have killed him if that wasn't the case.

Yeah they we’re kinda crybabies if you think about it, like ”waa waa we wouldn’t hurt anywone if it meant we would be in twubble”

​@@Oskir_SchlickarssonYeah they were pathetic.

Yeah of course, Homelander is the real hero 😂

But unfortunately Vought got to him first corrupting him truly sad at least he tried to be a hero but screwed up instantly

All it would’ve taken was for him to throw the guns closer to him and it would’ve been FINE. Hell even after he lasered the Gun the situation was still salvageable. Just tie up the Bad guys and ignore everyones curses.

It's a secret learning lesson to help simps.

the road to hell is paved with good intentions

Dumbass hostages wanted their kidnappers to be cared for 😂. Homelander should’ve just left at that point

Doesn't even line up with events from the show

​@@saintniccage2818It does? This is sent in the past obviously, and Homelander was indeed a lab rat, of course by time he'd have adapted to the violence and ended up as the Homelander we know in The Boys.

@@saintniccage2818tell us how it doesn’t

@2eezybruh434 the guy who made it literally said " yeaaa there's alot of bits that won't match up, we only even see about 3 episodes being canon"

@@just_dell telling what a show that I have watched is about really doesn't support anything mate

He killed all the hostages and did more damage than they ever could

@@thenightmonkey5932 the hostages that were too scared to fight against the gun man but antagonize homelander. Honestly everything seems way too blatant. If anything the gun man are the actual threat. One tried blowing up himself and hostage

Such hypocrits

@@thenightmonkey5932he killed someone accidentally at first

@@Mewdo45well he symbolizes a republican and Seth rogan runs the show so literally any situation HL is involved in they’re gonna make him look like the evil one, I’m not even political but I agree the shit is old and played out at this point, I only watch now for Karl urban and Antony Starr

You can't hurt Homelander. He's-

@@undefined6512invincible

they dont know who he is yet

@@undefined6512 **title card**

I love how little self awareness people have when they make comments like this

Right. Based off their reaction to him brushing the bullets off, they were absolutely trying to kill him.

I say vought is just plain stupid. They abused the deadliest man in the world from day 1 and thought they could keep him on their leash.

it's the boys writers fault that they made a poor character into a villain.

it's the boys creators fault that they made a poor character into a villain. poor homelander 😔

@@nexus5253Why do you think he’s the Deadliest? It’s because of Vought’s abuse they could make their own Mutant Superman.

I think even in this video it comes across like he cares more about his reputation than the hostages

All it would’ve taken was for him to throw the guns closer to him and it would’ve been FINE. Hell even after he lasered the Gun the situation was still salvageable. Just tie up the Bad guys and ignore everyones curses.

​@@ImthesoulofthesOr just drop the gun instead of tossing in the first place Better yet, he could've done the same thing to it that he did to the other one. I was always confused why he decided to use two separate methods.

@@SplashbacklProbably Hubris and he was in the Mood to ‘Show-Off’

You do realize unfortunately this would work in the real world and people would feel bad for them. There are to many self righteous cancers in the world.

​@Obi-Wanthepyromaniac You do realize why they were there in the first place, right? They were trying to shut down a toxic chemical plant causing people to get sick and die. Not to mention Homelander calling himself a good guy like his incompetence and mental instability didn't just cause him to brutally murder a room full of people, hostage and otherwise.

@@disturbedrenegade9815 i mean, they didnt even know that Homelander is immune to bullets, what if he was just a normal person ? They litterally dump mags into him when he was trying to reason with them. And even though they have good intentions like you said, pointing a gun with live rounds at someone's head is not a the way to do it.

@@disturbedrenegade9815 sperging out and taking people hostage is obviously the correct way to go about it, they were totally justified in trying to murder him right?

@@disturbedrenegade9815 You are so brain dead

he was probably just saying that to antagonize homelander, it didn’t make sense cause he was in pain from his hand being cooked (That or it was just a lapse in writing or sometimg)

@@ricekrispies4994 ah ok thanks!

In my opinion it’s meant to reflect Homelander here. Why are you trying not to hurt anyone if you have deadly weapons… except Homelander IS the weapon

@@JordiR243 nah the other guy doesn't know what he's talking about and is just taking a wild guess. Presumably they're talking about whatever cause they were trying to further by taking those hostages. They probably thought they were working for an evil company or something

I’d wager the guy actually doesn’t say that and Homelander hallucinates it as a psychological projection before going into a blind rage

So this entire situation wouldn't have happened?

​@@Splashbacklwould still happen just not exactly this

Like Kentucky Ballistics.

Okay, that's in a catastrophic failure, caused by the guns own ammunition...Not the gun being superheated itself very EXTREMELY rapidly at one center point....Which would likely make it explode.

I think they were special guns

EXACLY, this whole thing was so stupid

What a dumbass

He’s a supe

​@@coltmcdougall1196Yeah but they didnt knew that he is bulletproof

Homelander: "Neither can the people you shot with that gun, least you can still form sentences."

If you can say "I can't breath" you can breath.

usually when people say "they can't breathe", they typically mean they can't breathe properly or are struggling to.

not really. It's different alright but it isn't any more realistic. I don't see any world where the hostages don't celebrate Homelander killing the terrorists despite casualties. Not to mention how there is sound logic to everything he could have done but just chose not to for some reason. He even dropped the gun around his own feet but they somehow teleported to the terrorist. The Boys in order to satirise super heroes in the way that it does necessarily needs to exagerate real life to make it clear that it's mocking something and not subscribing to the idea.

@@cobycoba I agree It's just grittier, not "more realistic"

And what separates Clark from Homelander. Clark spent his whole adolescences learning how his powers work. Their limits and rules. And how to use them.

@@cobycoba All it would’ve taken was for him to throw the guns closer to him and it would’ve been FINE. Hell even after he lasered the Gun the situation was still salvageable. Just tie up the Bad guys and ignore everyones curses.

@@Imthesoulofthes Plus, lasering the AR15 wouldn't have made it explode like that. The upper and lower would pop off and some shrapnel would launch. You may get cut up, especially if you're not wearing eye pro, but it's very unlikely you would die. You most certainly would not lose your entire hand. And that's being generous considering the mag is about half the size it should be for .223. As for the guy on the other end of the barrel, I don't know if the bullet would be gassed enough to punch through the barrel, and there's no telling where the bullet would go after it punched through. But he would probably take a very weakened bullet to his skull, and for the hostage to die is not far fetched. He would not lose half of his face to an explosion though.

This part is the part that annoyed me the most. It's so blatantly tryna paint homelander as the badguy that it isn't even funny. Where was this level of bravery when you were being held at gunpoint? Why insult the guy who just ripped your captures in half and could probably do the same to you?

Bro can never be Superman

​@@sticks_studiosHQprime superman to be exact, not all Kal El ended up as the good guy depending on where he fell or where he was raised

I mean in the same situation your brain would do the same. It's why soldiers would try to pick up missing limbs before they died from their wounds.

like noir with his brain piece

Yeah although for some reason I keep subconsciously thinking that that's amber from invincible talking crap to mark and just getting what she deserves,at least in my opinion.👋😏

​@@brendagates38 Cringe

@@erickz616 what I meant to say was the woman looked like amber from invincible and anyone who's seen enough of her on show knows that if she was talking crap to wrong person in the wrong situation this would be pretty much be the result☝️😒,didn't mean to sound cold blooded my bad.👋😅

True

@@turbokid8719 very much.

I genuinely thought they were trying to make us feel bad for homelander@@jeremiahdavis8474

and I felt bad too@@jeremiahdavis8474

the point is he ISNT the bad guy here. yet. this is when he first started being a hero, he doesn't understand how the world works

Manipulation game

That guy didn't kill anyone though.

They do this in RL too, criminals will shoot at cops and civilians and if they get caught they'll whine that their handcuffs are too tight and cops are being too rough on them.

@@yoshidinono8095 doesn’t matter lol, their still helping with a hostage situation endangering lives.

​@@Obi-WanthepyromaniacHomelander did more damage the moment than they did the moment he exploded that gun

Leftists see themselves in the terrorists and right wingers in Homelander, so it makes perfect sense.

Non sequitur, motivated by a desire to stay consistent with an earlier indefensible position. One doesn't need a lungful of fresh air to scream. One never did. I get it. You were one of those people who forced masking on people with impaired breathing, and you go on telling yourself that what you did either for the sake of your own exaggerated fears or worse, just to fit in, wasn't monstrous. You feel the need to go on believing that so badly, that you'll take the non-argument you used to defend your real life cruelty, and passionately apply it to a fictional character. But it remains nonsense, and you remain a terrible person. To breathe, one has to be able to fill one's lungs with fresh air. The composition, moisture level and temperature can all matter, and a certain volume has to be taken it for a full breath to occur. Bind somebody up with metal, and that's going to be impossible for her to do. But all that one has to do to scream is briefly squeeze some air out of one's lungs quickly. One doesn't need a lot of air to do that, and the CO2 levels, moistness and heat of what's coming out won't matter. Vibrating gas is vibrating gas, and one isn't trying to extract oxygen out of that which one exhales. One could still scream in room filled with pure CO2 (or any other gas that wouldn't instantly knock somebody out), but one certainly couldn't breathe in there. So give it a rest.

@@Fiction_Writing Bruh, get offline. Go outside and cultivate your social skills.

​@Fiction_Writing and yet you ignored the other points. You're clearly conservative considering the mask talking point, so I don't understand why you'd defend this show. It makes fun of us

@@thesithofearth3617 The "mask talking point," as you call it, has nothing to do with political tribalism. I'm a scientist IRL, and know whereof I speak, and am very, very, very tired of the attitude that scientific fact is supposed to bend to accommodate political needs. The facts simply are what they are, and if they don't fit in with somebody's campaign rhetoric, then how very sad for their campaign. I will simply state the truth, regardless. Cope. I don't care about your self-esteem. Worrying about that is not my job.

Homelander fights Antifa.

It's because it's a stand in for the SJW writers idea of antifa. And similarly, they use the same logic, acting like terrorists and putting people live sin danger, like the arsons and stopping ambulances and shooting random people they accused of being "trump supporters" in the streets, then crying fascism when they get shot back, arrested, ect.

These guys are pretty much a stand in for antifa for the SJW writers...It's why their logic makes no sense yet have this unquestionable belief that they are somehow the good guys while being terrorists. It's never what they did, it's only how you responded to their violence that's the problem.

This isn’t him but the voice actor definitely deserves his flowers

@@jc._.goated As per IMDB it was him.

@kevlonk huh, you’re right. I could have sworn it was another voice actor lol

​@@jc._.goatedit's mortal kombat that has a different va

@@thesithofearth3617 yeah, ik that but I swear I heard somebody else voiced him in Diabolical but eh, I was wrong

me when breaking bad

Funny because Giancarlo Esposito is in this show as well

Haughhhh! 😡

This was when he was relatively innocent. Homelander in general is a broken man.

​@@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 he lost his innocence the moment they started experimenting on him, I'm more surprised he was trying to be good during the first days of his career instead of immediately being evil

As one does

I think even in this video Homelander looks like he cares more about his reputation then actually saving the hostages

This is a work of fiction, not "literal proof"

@@alecjones4676 🤓 ☝🏾

I noticed it

Valve is so good at using stock sound effects that you forget that they didn't make them.

That's actually the point to show people who were so blinded by their own sense of justice not knowing the actual damage they were doing

It doesn’t matter even if they knew he was bullet proof. If you’re able to Jill’s the kidnappers without hurting the hostages you absolutely do it. If your willing to risk the hostages lives then the “hero” is just a self righteous idiot

​@@Obi-WanthepyromaniacAren't you supposed to shoot hostage takers the moment they open fire on you?

In their view they are the heroes.

@@alexandrostheodorou8387 you are making this up, because the show didn't show any of that, that is why the writting is bad. How do we know that is what the show runners meant there is no evidence of that in the show nor anything was said by the makers

In a better timeline homelander uses this as a learning opportunity and becomes a better man, now knowing the world isn't just black and white

LOL

😂

He would be a good guy if these freaks didn't gave him ptsd from his childhood

It's his backstory how he started

I wonder why you get called racist, it can’t be because you’re racist…right?

Probably what he learnt his lesson from considering he uses the same technique in the boys season 1 episode 1 when he saves the two boys from guy with gun. He must've controlled his lasers temperature in that episode.

If I remember correctly doesn’t Superman do the same thing in some of his animated shows?

@@toybirdy Not exactly

realistically i don't think the gun would just explode like that, and definitely not with enough force to do the kind of damage it did.

​@@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08No he just pointed his laser at the right direction.

I'd be surrendering after he didn't even flinch at that.

Yup, it's just the SJW writers mirroring their logic IRL with antifa, hey! We burnt down the country, charred bodies recovered from buildings, ambulances unable to get to the hospital in time, holding random people at gun point claiming they are "fascist trump supporters" then crying when the police shoot them. Literally demonstrating their inability to understand that their attempts to justify terrorism will go unheard. They have to make mary sue media like this instead.

lmao so right

Agreed

The two male hostages definitely didn't tho

Theatrics. He's made to be a walking mascot, so he was most likely thought to do over the top shit.

No he didn't. His desire was to please his handlers.

@@mr.mediocregamer9653Why can’t Homelander be a complex character who wanted to due both at first?

@Gamer-ml9tn He can be complex, lean into the story of how an innocent child was molded into a psychopath that craved love from his handlers. A creature that was designed to look heroic, but was in fact a weapon against his own people. That's plenty complex without needing to add the tired trope of the corrupted hero. He was always bad, but it wasn't his fault, and if it's not his fault, what level of responsibility should he bear for his actions?

All it would’ve taken was for him to throw the guns closer to him and it would’ve been FINE. Hell even after he lasered the Gun the situation was still salvageable. Just tie up the Bad guys and ignore everyones curses.

He can never be Superman

yes, is the bad series or bad scene

It's not unrealistic at all, most people are like this. They're afraid of what they don't understand.
