Hughie Vs. Translucent | The Boys | Prime Video 

Deep down, Hughie always knew, despite what Translucent said, that he could never go back to his old life. Not when people like Translucent, A-Train, Homelander exist. When A-Train killed his girlfriend, he lost his chance to be "normal"

The fact that Frenchie controlled his heartbeat says a lot about him.

It’s amazing how much of an impact Translucent had on the show and he was only around for a couple episodes

This is moment Hughie became one of "The Boys".

It would've been cool if they showed that translucent blew up closer than he appeared to go. Like he's immediately coming after Hughie after turning invisible.

Love how Translucent got completely reversed. He was so confident that he had Hughie pegged after that conversation they had earlier that he didn't even try to disarm him.

Antony Starr's eyes are so scary! The way he stares at the camera, man he was perfect for this role.👌

The biggest clue that Translucent was about to murder Hughie was when he used the line "you'll be the one who saved Translucent." Superheroes are basically seen as gods in their world, the Seven even more so. A god having to be saved by a _normal human_ would be anathema to them. The idea of hughie being his savior was meant for hughie and hughie alone to hear

It's easy to think Translucent didn't deserve this but I forgot about him showing up to hughies work and trying to kill him cause he found the bugs they planted. I always wondered that when translucent turned invisible after he thought hughie was going to let him go if he wasn't going to turn right back around and kill hughie and get the detonator.

Feel like Hughie waited for him to turn invisible so he could more easily cope with killing someone. If you cant see him, you could possibly pretend that it wasnt a person. Removes a layer of humanity i guess.

Translucent was def about to murder Hughie after going invisible. Hughie definitely sensed that.

*Rest in Pieces Translucent* I can’t wait to see how diabolical Season 3 will be!

This was the moment I became a hugh fan of this show. You can feel the suspense in the atmosphere. Outside it was Homelander being suspicious about Frenchie and Butcher was hiding so he could not see him, while in their lab, Hughie was face to face with Translucent threatening with detonating the bomb if he did not go back to his cage. It's such a perfect scene which shows to us that even if they don't have any superpowers, with a elaborated plan and staying calmed and composed they can even trick the most powerful superhero in the world

3:15 his look on face makes me think he was simply lying to Hugie and was thinking”Fucking idiot I’m coming back for you”

When they are watching Homelander flying over the city on security cameras, I actually got chills. That was terrifying

Jack's audition tape for that plinketto episode is amazing.

The keep your hands clean poster is great visual irony man. Genius

How do you NOT kill Translucent, let him go and you're looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life for something you can't even see coming. That's terrifying in itself.

Why is he called translucent instead of transparent? Isn't that kind of like calling the flash the jog?

If Homelandrer has super hearing, why couldn't he hear their heart beats? Mofos were all nervous

My mom was convinced it was too early for him to make this decision the whole time, but he literally had nothing else to lose

For those wondering how a guy with diamond hard skin exploded, the human body is 85% water and water doesn't compress. The explosion would have liquified Translucent's still very squishy innards and the equal pressure pushing over everything would have still caused an explosion. Though in the off chance he did still contain the explosion, he'd still be dead and instead of merely exploding his mouth and asshole would have fire out a nice big blobs of freshly pulverized guts.

Hughies character development has been amazing to watch

Gamora:skin has the same density on the inside as it does on the outside Hughie: I have single handedly defeated my foe

He set that bomb off hoping the splatter would be invisible.

At first I thought it Translucent was being forgetful when he walked off with hughie still holding the trigger, or that the writing was off, but then I realized Translucent was so arrogant that he never thought Hughie would press the button. Great writing

*3:05** Imagine if that poster wasn't there. Everything would've turned out so different.*

Ahh, back when the show wasn't blatantly partisan in it's writing. (edit: Yes, I changed my comment. Cry more and keep letting Kripke lay fat logs all over your chest

I absolutely love how the meaning of the “Keep Your Hands Clean” poster changes after Hughie kills Translucent.

This version of huey is much better than the comics.

That scene where Hughie stares at keep your hands clean and fuming up is really good.

3:19 How it feels to chew 5 gum

I miss this creativity

I couldn’t even imagine the horrors that would’ve happened if Transparency screamed, or if he heard Billy hiding, or if he just saw Transparency down there with X-ray vision. Would’ve been the end of The Boys season 1.

2:15 this should have been a meme

This is what I miss on Season 3: moments with this nail-biting tension, the moral dilemmas and traumatic moments for the characters.

first season of the boys is peak, it kinda went down afterwards sadly

Its crazy how restrained Homelander is in season 1. Asking for ID? Frenchie challenging him with "Do you have a warrant?". He really was way more stable

I love how they made his piss hella yellow cause obviously he hasn't been having water in this cage

Translucent: escaping Hughie: SKIBIDI BOP MM DADA

This show is badass and I love how they put every great moments on that show. I love this series so much.

The music here is under appreciated. Adds perfect suspense to the scene.

0:39 need to know if there's a full song to that riff, or just a 10 hour loop

Despite Translucent only being around for a couple episodes, I really love his actor, played him so well.

Man I'm so ready for season 3 the boys is one best superhero shows

People think Homelander ist some sort of Super-Jesus, but 1:33 is a deliberate background choice for him.

Part of me wonders if Hughie was just waiting for Translucent to go invisible hoping he wouldn’t see him explode….look how that turned out for him lmao.

Got this as an ad but still watched it,love this show

0:10 amazin' that his lemon dropper ain't showin' the contents until AFTER he takes a whizz.

Now Translucent knows how I feel after having Taco Bell

Y'know, I dont think that would've been the blast pattern, given Trans dude's impervious skin.

A lot of people think Translucent was about to kill Hughie after going invisible but I don't think he'd have risked that detonator being triggered. He got a good look at it and it only takes half a second to detonate. No way Translucent could have snatched it from Hughie in time. Sure, he was definitely going to turn on Hughie upon getting back to Vought Tower (instead of letting him go back to his life like he promised), but not right here.

Isn't that the guy from RedLetterMedia!?! Cool to see he got more roles after that new Chris Nolan picture! Top Hat Monkey Goes West next?

*Prime really knocked it out of the park with this show. After BCS ends, this will be the greatest current show on TV.*

Season 1 was so good. You actually feel the danger. Season 4, the plot armor is so thick.

Looking back on Voughts Supes proclivity towards tyranny and violence, the fact that Homelander let Frenchie go on a ‘warrant technicality’ and don’t just rip open the doors and violate his privacy is mindblowing

In season 4 they are just throwing acid on supes and not dying, this tension is long gone

1st season is the best one for sure.

I love this show, blemishes and all. It has it’s occasional issues, but overall it’s a fun watch. Obviously, there are many instances where I wish they had remained more faithful to the source material, but in contrast I absolutely love when they clearly mock, satirize, and criticize the MCU and other supe franchises in the show. Aside from that, Urban and Starr’s performances are just downright enjoyable and captivating. Starr’s frightening and uncomfortable portrayal of a far too powerful, unstable and volatile man-child who just be coddled and affirmed at all times is fantastic. He really sells the crazy, when watching a Homelander scene is genuinely feel like he could lash out in genocidal rage if someone brings him the wrong flavor of ice cream. In addition, Urban’s Butcher is extremely captivating and compelling to watch. He’s rough and ruthless, clever and charismatic and despite lapses in loyalty and questionable choices(and what can be considered a heel turn in the comics) he truly cares for the boys and even takes a pseudo paternal role with Hughie. Watching Urban and Starr butt heads, match wits and clash as Butcher and Homelander is always exciting television in my opinion.

There is one month left till season 3... Promo company: oh, I really don't care

I love how the sound editors for this show decided to have super quiet dialogue interrupted by super loud explosions and music. Constantly having to adjust the volume really adds to the experience.

The only thing that would make this scene better is Translucid suddenly exploding not at the end of the halway where he went invisible but directly in front of Hughie proving that he was not going to escape but instead turned around to attack him

Love how they bleep the “f*ck” while leaving the bloodbath uncensored

0:55 I found him responding so hilarious for some reason.

Translucent should never have followed Hughie in the first place.

Now that I think about it, this was one of the more painless deaths in this series.

I don’t get why he later admits to not caring about killing translucent yet tries to resuscitate A Train

1:23 it's ironic the boys are holding a supe hostage for ransom

Poor Hughie always gets showered 🤣🤣

Hurry up and drop the next season!!!

Translucents last words to hughie describing how he would live ended up being how he would make people feel. Hunting supes, he will keep looking and he will find them

Homelander notices accent and asks for ID right away 😂

Homelanders the cop who turns their body-cam off just before he asks if he can conduct a search.

This scene had my heart racing

Watching this scene again I now realize that season one was filmed like a movie. How has Hollywood become such a husk of a corpse that it can’t even stick to a original recipe

This is the moment Hughie became Heisenberg

Homelander hears that explosion but he doesn’t hear translucents voice from the building right next to him

i remember literally gasping, covering my face when hughie blew up translucent, now compared to season 2 and literally just the first episode of season 3.. this feels very tame by comparison

S1 was just so good man

The moment that Hughie became a man!

"No offense, you got a warrant or something?" At that moment only a paper thin plot armor saved Frenchie lol

Dude Antony would make a amazing Reverse Flash bro.

S1 Hughie: scared to kill anyone. S3 Hughie: teleport his hand inside some dude, make a hole inside their chest and casually laugh off.

Props to Frenchie for keeping cool. Homelander coulda sensed his heartbeat

At the very beginning of the show, he was covered in blood because of a wreckless supe killing his girlfriend. In the following episode, he’s covered in blood because he knew it was the only way forward

This is the moment Huey became Heisenberg.

3:29 as Butcher said while killing a whale "fuckin diabolical"

i feel like what shoul have happened is he jus goes visible, completely still, then falls over dead- becaus his insides are all destroyed but his skin's still hard as diamonds right? maybe he coul have coughed up smoke like a cartoon character- but it'd be realistic this time! or smoke comin out the other side...

After translucent is dead the Seven never be the same

Imagine if the plan didnt work, hughie pulls the trigger and all you see is a little smoke cloud walking away😂

I bet hughie momentarily though that he wouldn’t see the gore and it made it that much easier for him to pull it, to the horrific realization he saw it all lol

Alternative view he let translucent get far enough away to be out of the blast radius but not the splash zone

RIP Translucent Rest in Pieces

Look at this season mf, look this tension, S2 can't repeat this vibe, but the end still good, S3 is a masterpiece except for the end, and S4.... A JOKE. HOW TO RUIN A SHOW TUTORIAL.

Its crazy how homelander has super hearing but couldnt hear translucent talking to hughie or butcher creeping about.

I always wondered how Butcher managed to sneak out of the Van without Homelander hearing

I honestly thought this show couldn't get more weirder. Never fails to prove me wrong time and time again

Homelander is litterally just a cop with power

Minor season 3 spoiler, but the things that Translucent said didn’t fully come true, since Hughie got to not only come out of hiding, but also got to publicly date Starlight for a year without the fear of being pursued by Vought.

This is the moment Walter white became hughieberg
