Starlight vs. Soldier Boy | The Boys | Prime Video 

MM : Fuck your shield bitch !!! Soldier Boy: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE

If they really wanted this to be Starlight’s big moment, they should’ve had her break the shield right here. It would’ve been a good payoff to seeing Hughie be unable to lift it earlier and it just would’ve been cooler.

Well, he almost was dropped. Then he showed everyone why nuclear power is a tad more frightening than electricity.

"I understood that reference"

MM: You killed my family Soldier Boy: I don't even know who you are

Yeah and after getting thrown out the window he still didn’t have a scratch on him

He's the ultimate CHAD

Now why tf did Butcher stop him from killing homelander

@@picklerickroll7283 cause of Ryan u gotta watch the show to understand

@@picklerickroll7283 because they want more seasons, they just executed this really badly so it’s just bad writing. Eric Kripke said the comics has 5 seasons worth of content.

All that build up and Soldier Boy just stood back up like nothing happened.

For real, she did all that just for a little push.

Her attack did more damage to herself than to him

​@@fungusman3046 He was stunned, which enabled MM and co to restrain him.

@@gentblue I know, so it was effective, but it just seemed like it would have stunned him more

Homelander probably lose his power

And everybody and everything else would’ve been vaporised lol

Saved their asses again

@@sulaymankhan3403 Maybe not. Kimiko survived Soldier Boy's power.

@@PatrickTheWriter but that was just a small one but the one he did here was almost like a nuke

Yeah Homelander was so much worse that even Solider Boy acknowledged that when he called him a disappointment

yea, hughie should have just taken compound v and take everyone except homelander away from the blast, and let that kill homelander

He is redeemable

​@@fj094t58qjf Well, that probably wouldn't kill him

@@qwertywsxy2889 it would take away homelander's power, then he would get beat to death by everyone. especially if soldier boy can still fight after he blasted homelander

Homelander would have killed everyone afterwards if it weren't for Ryan. The Boys who are supposed to hunt Supes have to get saved by another Supe once again.

People either want a jacked up male version of a woman who is also sexy or a crying, whining damsel-in-distress. When toxic feminism swings the pendulum the other way, a lot of male population (not all but a lot of them) like to cry out how stupid and unrealistic things are. Starlight is a great character, because like you pointed out, she is strong in her own way. In real people terms, it's always people like Starlight who do the best they can and rally others to their cause and inspire them to do the right thing, even if it poses a chance that they'll get themselves killed in the process are the ones who make changes. Starlight's power or what she did in this moment is obviously not supposed to counter Soldier Boy by herself. If she had done that, people would have called her unrealistic and her character a token one. But now that she has done what she could in that moment, trying her level best, people want to laugh at how useless it was. I don't get it what do these people want? It's almost like they don't live in real world, among real people with different emotions and power and struggle who each takes stand for what they believe in and fight the daily fight in their own ways.

@@anonme_ It's not about being real world, Starlight is constantly stupid throughout the whole season. First at Herogasm, she wanted to stop Soldier Boy on her own, like how stupid she can be? Soldier Boy could rip her apart like nothing. Then it is her whole "I don't need you to save me" speech to Hughie which is kinda stupid as to how in previous episodes she was scared and crying because Homelander had gone mental. She atleast should have appreaciated Hughie for helping Everyone likes Queen Maeve not because she is sexy or whatever you are assuming, she actually is powerful with combat skills. I like Starlight but she doesn't have any development in terms of power throughout the whole season, like I would have liked if they shown her training her powers and then struggling but no, there is nothing impressive to suggest that Starlight become stronger interms of power or skill. Only for that last episode, even that wasn't impressive. Starlight knocked him before without he power amp, so what's the difference when even with her amped up power she is producing the same damage? Every time some supes try to hurt Starlight or Hughie, she just do those light flickering and then either fight doesn't happen (which is most of the time) or she blast but the other supe wake up like nothing happened.

Not only for Butcher and Ryan, but for everyone that could have been impacted by blast in a building and especially The Boys. She heroically averted it!

Thanks for letting me know that she survived. I was going crazy not know what might have happened. 😂

Not just them, also saves to Homelander or minimum not to lose his powers

Sorry but no. It was stupid. She should have died.this is just fan service and is exactly what the boys criticizes. In the comic Maeve died almost instantly and it was narratively important because it sets starlight up as the true leader despite being weaker. This is bad and you should feel bad.

@@DASRH calm down dude lol or get a life

you know what i never thought of it that way i guess this was just to show off her potential like flying

Flying isn't such a big deal. Even Swatto could do that. And he was worthless.

@@PatrickTheWriter who is swatto??

@@Igivegdparent one of those payback guys

@@toophoot2757 ohh kk thankyou

More like a fancy Wegmans type blast

She also suked the doodoo for the deep 😂

So a shonen protag, basically

I mean maeve has super strength

@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3 But the straw doesn't. It should have bent/broken when it made contact with him

@@agathor2017 its just like stormfront with a regular human stabbing her eye, eyes and eardrums are weaknesses but in the case of homelander i think his eyes are as durable as he is due to his laser vision

@@labcat6759 Bruh, did you forget Soldier Boy's 40 years of torture by the Russians, which included them trying their damndest to try and pierce through his eyes with scalpels? Not to mention the countless other things they did to him that WASN'T shown.

@@khoile4271 i would take you seriously if you can prove they ever struggled to get a scalpel through his eye, it was shown for one second and soldier boy was clearly in pain when it happened because he rejected it.

season 5*

@@Sh1ryyu no bro how about season 4 to 5

Hope Soldier Boy wakes up at the end of season 4 and is in the majority of season 5. They can take a break with Maeve and let Soldier Boy fill her screentime slots.

@@speedisoftheessence probably homelander will kill Maeve at the end of season 4 and soldier boy waking up again and telling himself I need help butcher my boy with homelander

@@maxdelossantos5533 jensen is already occupied with another show for the duration season 4 will be set so he won’t be appearing yet

I mean soldier boy is from past times he could be racist but mm has no proof that he is

@@Blood-zz2kt this is actually kinda a case where what Blue Hawk said is correct in that its actually racist to call someone racist lol. I mean MM is calling him racist due to the fact he's a white person from a certain time period he knows that soldier boy killing his family was due to him being reckless with his powers as opposed to a specific hate crime. and the one racist line from soldier boy was in a flashback scene with his old team and MM never actually had conversations with any of the people present so he's quite literally basing his assumption that he's racist on nothing.

@@spencerreid2086 pretty much

Exactlyyyy I don’t think soldier boy is racist at allll

FACTS 💯

Yeah that metal straw rang his bell good and plenty lol I spit beverage out when I saw that humbled look on his face lol

He was SO GOOD in this role. He looks great, too. Always happy to see him.

but he could have defeated homelander while saving everyone else from the blast

@@fj094t58qjf You do know taking one more Temp V would have killed Hughie🤨?

@@mahad813 It didn't kill butcher. 🙄

@@jaideepshekhar4621 Butcher is dying in 12 to 18 months of terminal illness because of Temp V🤨

​@@mahad813thx for reminding me of that, Nolan. I totally forgot it and thought Hughie is stupid.

He doesn't deserve one. He was worse than Homelander and would've only made Homie worse growing up. He needs to stay in the box until someone finds a way to send him into the sun.

@@benderisgreat95able oh come on, nobody is worse than Homelander

@@benderisgreat95able don’t compare him to homelander because he’s a man child but solider boy is kinda spoiled but he’s no coward

@@tonydaza8504, he's caused way more damage than Homelander. There wouldn't have been a mutiny against him otherwise. He was out there torturing Noir out of insecurity and fear he'd take his spotlight.

@@benderisgreat95able say what you want about soldier boy but nothing that he has done comes close to the levels of fucked up as what Homelander did on the airplane. Also, Soldier Boy fought the nazis. Homelander fucked a nazi.

soldier boy is literally just the average dad from the 1950s but we're expected to believe he's a worse person than an actual rapist sociopath that's killed hundreds of innocent people

Mm with the racist speech and they all bitched it 😂 including starlight pleading that sb will kill everybody if doesn’t return to the box

I was just going to say that :D yes, Soldier Boy has to come back!

Homelander is “stronger” but if SB blasted him he would lose his power and Butcher would beat him to death. There is nothing that can hurt Soldier Boy. He’s basically unable to die.

@@Jeremy-ed7fy Butcher lasered SB in the face and gave him a cut on the cheek, so hes not invincible

The thing is, Homelander is not that much stronger than SB, but SB is substantially more durable. I’d say he’d be a bigger threat if he was as psychotic as homelander

@@matesmanbutone6364 broo that laser is strong af and only give sb just a cut so he pretty strong

@@matesmanbutone6364 Yet it healed very quickly and hardly seemed to affect Soldier Boy.

Or she could just go to a power plant before a fight and absorb a shit ton of energy.

Omg me too except mine ended up with the deep killing soldier boy with a single punch. Not exactly what I think they have planned

@@russellshanahan1216 LoL

@@russellshanahan1216 Deep has only been using 0,1% of his powers. The only 99,9% he deposited into Starlight's mouth in the first episode.

@@TheStraightestWhitest Astagfirhullah

Ikr?

Good genes 🤣

I think it's supposed to be just visible light but i swear she's affected electricity before in like season 1

@@ryan_uwu The Boys wiki says she absorbs electricity and converts it into blasts of light. Though it's not "normal" light as it also has a kinetic impact and can be used to heat objects too. I guess that's why electronic equipment goes crazy when she's using her powers nearby.

yeah like when they were fighting, she'd just absorb stormfront's powers. Would've been epic.

I can see where you're coming from but Starlight is pretty drained here cuz she just did that big blast and i can't remember super well but I think the others were also super tired at this point in the fight. Also, some people freeze up when they see sth they believe to be incredibly dangerous and deadly so it's possible that happened?

@@izzyGO52 first, I appreciate your thoughts. And while they are somewhat credible, I honestly think it's just bad writing. Even without access to electricity, Starlight once pushed her way through a vault door. She doesn't need power reserves to access her strength. We also know that Soldier Boy is stronger than most supes, perhaps all of them, save Homelander. If they had shown Kimiko and Starlight fighting against Soldier Boy, as he built up his charge, then Queen Maeve could have pushed her way through them and taken Soldier Boy out the window with her. Or maybe he could have restrained Kimiko and Starlight as he built up his charge. He's stronger than the two of them, even the two of them put together.

@@patrickcolliano Yeh fair I appreciate your take too! I actually think that would've been pretty badass to watch as well For me, I don't think it's bad writing per se, just wanting to portray a different vibe (like, a feeling of helplessness and inevitably, rather than of overcoming impossible odds), but I know what you mean where it's frustrating that they don't just do STH, like you said, they're literally supers and supposed to be the best of us, but even they flake sometimes I guess

@@izzyGO52 You may have a point, though. I'm thinking of that look that Starlight gives to Queen Maeve just before Maeve throws them both out of the building. It's hard to describe that look. Maeve has just lost an eye and Starlight is like, "Aww, that's terrible. Homelander must have done that to you. But it will all over for all of us in a few seconds."

Uhhhh except she was a money-making asset for them and even boosted Homelander's rating astronomically after his insane, ego-stroking public meltdown.

yes

soldier boy weak *yawn*

I'm sure there's more to starlight's power than just some sparkles and a little push. I thought she could basically melt eyeballs or something.

yup if it wasn't for shitty plot convenience then Soldier Boy would have killed everyone (except himself) and brought down vought tower.

@@PrickDonny Not with Homelander there.

Exactly, and then they all worked together after she knocked him, cuz they're a team! It also showed us that she has the potential to fly which I hope we see developed next season 😊

Shut up

What new ability? She just got powered up by the massive amount of electricity

@@Hindrance1998 according to Eric kripke, starlight will learn how to use the ability to fly

But doesn't her power rely on how much electricity is within her proximity? There's no way in hell she's flying freely unless she plans on carrying generators with her as she flies lmao.

@@muphenman5094 maybe she can find a way to tap into power sources that are far from her.

Well it is soldier boy who is debatably tougher than homelander and it actually did wear him down quite a bit because normally it would take homelander leveled supes to restrain him but here kimiko and starlight who he was wrecking before were now able to restrain him.

i know it will because orifices are weaknesses

poor girl getting demolished here, like if it was ANYONE other than SB or homelander, they would've been gone. People forgetting that soldier boy is literally durable to almost any/all damage.

Based mark of cain Dean fan

Yup

Somehow Maeve has returned

@@f.boogaloospook2318 yeah i think that should have been end of maeve but somehow they f`d it up.

well if everyone are OP then no one is. there gotta be some weaker ones. remember theres also lamplighter and the deep

@user-ho1ee2eh7m Starlight isn't just "not OP". She's totally useless.

you forgot she got trashed by Black Noir as well 🤣🤣

Yeah but when he powers it up it’s over

Gdd

Finally someone with a brain
