The Boys 2x05 BREAKDOWN: Every Easter Egg and Reference + Stormfront's Master Plan REVEALED? 

What did you think of the episode?

The Deep commercial was a play on the “be better” ad Gillette ran a couple years ago

Im surprised you didnt get the STOREFRONT "Starbucks" Cup Stormfront had. Purposely written wrong to mock Starbucks Infamous ways

It's so nice having these episode breakdowns done by an adult. You actually do your research and interpret the content correctly. Good work sir.

Something I noticed is during the scene where Stormfront talks to A-Train, the name on her drink reads "Storefront" instead of Stormfront. Nice little visual gag

If Homelander and Stormfront have a kid, it will be *2020*

I was going to disagree at first. But the way Doug reinforced his claims with good supporting points and solid warrants really turned me around.

Doug has a really good point man. Can't stop thinking about it.

The Katie Couric interview was so funny! It was a great jab at the infamous Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes interview about their fake scientology marriage lol. Katie Couric did the real life interview too!!

I just want an episode where Homelander is on a talk show skit and has to read mean tweets.

And yes, Women Avengers scene in Endgame was kinda randomly forced. Nice premise but not heartfelt.

4:37 I love that translucents box is just empty😂

"She's got help". *Captain Marvel proceeds to bulldoze through everything herself with no help*

4:36 You missed that The Deep's plushie was on clearance. I didn't see those plushies at all when I watched the episode though.

You had Katie Couric former NBC news correspondence, Steve Tyler's dream on song playing in the background, Greg Grunberg from Heroes, Alias, Lost, Star Wars Felicity frequent Collaborator of J.J. Abrams playing himself within another show. The Dawn of the Seven of course a nod to Unite the Seven from Justice League and poking fun of Joss Whedon with reshoots working in a toxic work environment with people taking advantage by manipulation nicely showcased in this episode. Kimiko to me is an amalgamation of Logan and X-23 where part of her humanity was gone and through the help of Mesmer from season 1 and now she is slowly gaining it back and of course on a revenge mission.

The Female! I want to be Kimiko for Halloween. I love how she ripped off that guy's face like it was a band aid

NEVER stop the "this is your mom" thing. It gets me every time :)

Maeve getting interrupted before she has her kiss is a little dig at Disney and the Censorship of their lesbian kiss

Anyone notice that when Homelander laser beamed Liberty....I mean....Stormfront's chest, it healed kinda? It make you think that if that was Liberty, she hasn't aged since the 40's and that her body or rather Compound V back then gave her and others regeneration abilities to not age. Perhaps.

8:40 I saw it coming from miles back

Damn dude, you're amazing. Looking forward to these 'Easter Egg' break downs each week Keep it up!

love watching these after watching the episodes to catch what i missed!

Starlights Mum when with Stormfront says “I like this one” it’s what Thor said about captain marvel in Avengers End game

That was superb and worth the wait.

Another great video. I am once again impressed with Doug's insight.

Still killing it, Ryan. I wish there were still new Watchmen episodes just so I could watch your breakdowns again. Oh! And I can't believe Doug caught that! Blew my mind!

Great stuff Ryan. Thanks!

So good...just such a great, insightful breakdown.

I really thought Homelander snapped and killed all those people because I've been predicting this. Kimiko ripping face off was one of most brutal scenes I've ever witnessed

Great work man. I would've never figured out this much. Wow.

Stormfront being behind Vought all along is indeed an interesting theory. I'm really excited for the next episode now.

What great, thoughtful observations. I feel like I’m back in my university film studies class lol. subbed!

*_during the last scene i was expession-less_*

Such a good review. Well done.

Thanks guys for this I dunno why but when I finished watching I really appreciated you guys putting this together

8:40 Funniest thing is that actually Storfmront is her mom. Making correct predictions without even trying.

While I can see where Doug is coming from, I just don't think it's very a impactful easter egg. But it takes a sharp eye to spot something that small, good on ya Doug, keep it up.

I noticed that black noir has his hand cut off in one scene, then it is healed back already by the time he gets the phone call from mr Edgar

Couldn't have put it better myself, Doug. Good looks

Awesome video

I just suscribed to your channel. Im obsesed with this show, and this kind of videos are perfect for me. I hope you make to the 1M subs soon. I have a lot of videos to watch! And i will leave a like in everyone of them!

Actor who portraits Homelander is a really really good actor. Just love him ❤

Another easter egg that not sure if you have covered, the song they are singing in the car while going to discover the identity of Libery. The song is called "We did not start the Fire" by Billy Joel. The album of the song is called STORM FRONT.

Loved this video man !

I was laughing hard on the last scene. It was something nobody had imagined.

Stormfronts juice cup reads Storefront

I was a little disappointed in the Homelander massacre fake-out. I don’t think they have done a fake-out before and I really thought the story was going to take a sudden turn.

I'm really amazed on how I missed key details that you bring stunning quality to. Besides being a hateful heifer, even I didn't see that Stormfront would become a lynchpin to key plots and keeping Homelander in check as well. Well done in pointing these facts out.

Great video

What your dog said, i am confused as hell now... what a great catch!!

I fall for "this is your Mom" every time. I laughed out loud at this one. Well done!

Is it weird that I use these videos as a notification that a new episode of the show is available?

an easter egg that i didn't hear anyone talking about was the mister marathon (mentioned in episode 5), but there is a reference to him in a previous episode, on that storyboard of the movie of the seven (the drawing that looks like wolverine)

“To some felt forced and phony” way to not upset the MCU hive mind

Dougs totally right how coudnt i see that!

It's always nice seeing mom every now and then

It's kind of an Easter Egg, but Kimiko's scene with the immigrants its really similar to her introduction in the comics, even the dialogues and the face skin removal.

Best review of this episode I have heard! I remember the dog in an earlier show where Butcher and Becca were in bed and Terror is on his bed on the floor. Thanks for the channel

Btw That Joss rewrite segment was hilarious.. I died hire dem fine coffin dancers

This guy really finds a way to make something and then does the muscle man trick from regular and it still makes it fun

Doug seems to spot what others miss. Maybe he should do the next episode all by himself. We'll find out so much.

Another interesting Easter egg that references the Joss Whedon Justice League is the filter being used on the Dawn of the Seven shoot. This is reminiscent of how in the Whedon cut they used that weird orange filter, especially during the final fight. During Maeve's big fight there is a weird orange filter as well.

The scene of Homelander wrecking the protest scared the absolute fuck out of me. Im glad they throttled back 😂

The women's avengers scene was definitely an eye roll

We see Marathon in episode 3 in the storyboard for Dawn of the Seven along with Lamplighter. He resembles A-Train and Wolverine with his costume.

Good job doug.

Has Stormfront been behind everything, all along?

A really well-written video (especially considering the tight deadline). That episode ending: it's over 9000 shades of grey.

Do you agree with Doug?

i'm surprised you didn't mention that the couple in Deep's commercial are his co-actors from his previous show, Gossip Girl

Nothing about Mother's Milk getting stabbed by Black Noir and not dying?

It’s about time

C U Next Tuesday...how could you miss that!!

I strongly want Black Noir to be what it turns out to be in the comics because it's so subtle and comical that they gave us so little space, and then he will potentially become very much important later on.

Hardly every comment, but a small Easter Egg that I saw was when Malcom Barrett, Seth, references Ellen and Portia that Malcom used to be in a show with Portia called Better Off Ted. I just really like that show and wish it had more seasons

At exactly 0:44 seconds in, I knew i had to smash that like button

I thought the protesters moment is base on superman going to Capital Hill in BVS and he lands in a sea of them before heading in for questioning.

I agree with you, Doug

Person 1: I'm a hacker. Person 2 (inspired):I'm gay. This is so perfectly cheesey I love it.

Doug is such a good little boy.

Doug was right to a certain extent... To elaborate more on the issue, I will say that although he did get the major key points of the scene correct, he failed to see the big picture of homelanders motives. He was, however, able to point out the small message hiding in the scene. Overall I thought that Doug's opinion, although lacking some understanding, was a strong and compelling statement and I look forward to hearing from him more often.

Hughie also actually wears a Daryll Hall & John Oates shirt! One of my favorite bands and not very well known. I was surprised to see him wear it.

i was shocked extra is on the air

man i love this guy

Thinking about creating a Homelander esque costume for Halloween but Texas themed.

I like how the juice that Stormfront is drinking on set is labelled 'Storefront'

Here for the Doug cameo 🖤

Ryan how many times do you have to watch each episode to find all of these? Or do you have a team of people who just look for Easter eggs?

this episode was... wild

"Girls get it on!" -Homelander

12:05 Good boy Doug. Good boy.

They got three main actors from Timeless here so referencing that would've been nice.

Yes them at moment in end game was forced. Great looks throughout the video. I put a few of these ideas together before hand. Stormfront wanting to be a StormTrooper was the first one.

I noticed that Stormfront’s juice cup has her name written as “Storefront”. More of a funny joke than an easter egg though

Like it or hate it, Doug speaking straight facts

doug do be having good points tho

Hmmm, I wonder if the trailers seen in this episode were the actual trailers provided to the cast. Be kind of weird if they were being called from their trailer to go to their 'trailer.'

This show has joined Hollywood tradition of making gibberish writings in Cyrillic. Comics did that too though.

I think Doug really needs to expand those thoughts into a larger essay. It really change my whole perspective on the series, especially how it relates to the current pandemic.

I've never seen Zack so sad, as I look upon him in the image ....
