Hey guys, what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained, and as requested, today we’re diving back into The Boys.
Portrayed by Dominique Mc-Elligott, Margaret "Maggie" Shaw, aka Queen Maeve is a major antagonist-turned-hero in the series.
First introduced in the boys comic books written by garth Ennis, a self-confessed hater of superheroes, Queen Maeve is a parody of the DC superheroine Wonder Woman. And one of the most complicated characters in the show.

I realized Maeve never bothers acting like a Ancient Greek Amazon like Wonder Woman. In fact, she uses her real name in her superhero persona. This basically makes her the opposite of Homelander who acts like a wholesome Superman and doesn’t have a real name (he used to go by John but I think that is a reference to John Doe)

@chiefbologna5719 Год назад

@@John-Doe-Yo idk Maeve took a full blast and wasn’t even hurt by it at all. All of her injuries were from Homelander. The most I would suspect to be able to hurt Homelander is that soldier boy would have to like focus the blast as much as he can to increase the power of it, cause whatever he did at the end of the series is nowhere near enough. The most I see being done is possibly losing his powers, but even then I’m not convinced cause he was created differently than every other hero. Also kimiko regained her powers when she took more V in, I would assume Homelander produces it naturally since he was able to produce a child who had it in him without being injected, something considered impossible by everyone at Vought, including Homelander and the man who created him, Vogelbaum i thino

@johnmoore3435 Год назад

It worked on her tho. It turned her to a normal human. Of Maeve's powers is insane durability, arguably the only thing that saved her from being burnt up while the V was burnt out of her. The plan wasn't utlimately to kill him with Soldier boy but to make him vulnerable so that he can be killed. Before her every other hero that was blasted by soldier boy didn't have any super durability that we know of. Also the V in homelander is no different from any other supe. They did after all take Soldier boy's sperm to make Homelander, which indicates that the V changes you on a genetic level, basically altering all your DNA so it doesn't matter whether you were born with it or injected. They only pumped him with even more V from a very young age to make him as strong and powerful as he was. So even being born with it didn't make him as strong as SB by default. Also it takes 1 injection and you have super powers for life which means that they don't produce V, instead it binds with the genes, even the blood and reproductive organs and alters their genetic structure to give them powers. Producing it would mean they have organs especially designed to produce it like a natural hormone but it's a man made substance. So even born with it you can't produce it naturally.

The plane crash in Season 1 was so messed up and insane! They could have landed the plane in the water and waited for the rescue team to arrive. That's what I would have done.

@Jirodyne Год назад

Homelander can fly and super strong right? He would have stop or slowed the planes momentum easily. He would pushed it to land in water. Could have tilted it to slow it down faster. There are thousands of things he could have done to save everyone, or at least most of them. He chose to do none of things and let everyone die.

@callmev3531 Год назад

Granting the weight of the plane and attempting to move or slow its fall doesn’t damage it too heavily. Still, Homelander wasn’t even willing to try any of these options since he figured he could spin this tragedy in his and Vought’s favor (and he’s too lazy to ever be willing to potentially struggle in the event his power isn’t enough to resolve a situation), as Vought always manages to adapt to any potential negativity publicity.

Queen Maeve was such an amazing character in The Boys. Her pessimistic view on the world, with her firsthand experience with how the world works, watching her eventually become the hero that she always wanted to be was so fulfilling. I'm seriously glad that Maeve didn't find out that her sword was simply a prop during her fight with Homelander, as in the comics she finds out her sword is a prop and ends up being killed because of this. Eric Kripke understood each and every character in The Boys, and was fully capable to translate the comics to the silver screen seamlessly. The minor changes that he made to certain characters only worked in their favor as well, and made the show that much more enjoyable. Also, Kimiko used the regular version of Comp-V. She knew it wouldn't have any negative effects on her since she already survived her initial dosage of Comp-V. So Kimiko will have full access to her powers in Season 4 and until the show ends. My only wish for The Boys going forward, is that the rest of The Boys will eventually become supes as well. It would level the playing field with Homelander gaining popularity with the world, even with his true nature being exposed. They can explain this with Homelander attempting to overthrow the White House, planning to make supes the only superpower in the world and it's government. Factor in that Butcher and Hughie taking Temp-V multiple times and will eventually succumb to the effects, they will have to take Comp-V to negate the negative effects of Temp-V and save their lives. With the rest of The Boys taking Comp-V, as with Homelander and his legion of supes would definitely be more than the Boys could handle.

I like mauve in the show. She was written really well, had to overcome great obstacles and pain to get free from homelander. She is probably the best written female character I've seen for a while. Today they are all man hating assholes usually but with mauve she she had a great arch and didn't fall into the current state of most female characters (almost invincible and hardly get a scratch, make quips about being a woman and how hard it is blah blah). I'm sick to death of these female character types, you don't have to be an asshole to be a good female character. And the boys proves it. The women in that show are the right way to write in social issues while still developing a character that is well rounded. Take she Hulk for example....I knew from the first frame that it was going to be terrible and I couldn't sit through 10mins of it. From the get go it was all girl power, men hating, women have it harder bullshitte. Its bad writing and character development and it's getting slammed in the press because of it. I understand representation is important but when the characters are wholey unbelievable and cringe city I turn it off. The boys even made fun of it with the "girls get it done" parody.

Homelander is not a psychopath but indeed a narcissist, they both have deficits in opposite fields of thought, Psychopaths have poor top-down / idea then feeling based thinking and Narcissists have poor bottom-up / feeling then idea based thinking. Psychopaths purely use feelings to pursue their goal logically much like Autistic people, and narcissists use ideas and cognition to reach emotional highs such as love and power.
