The fact Homelander acting all hurt about A-Train’s betrayal like he didn’t fat shame him 2 seasons ago nonstop while bullying him almost more than Ashley and Deep combined is astounding ridiculous, narcissism at its finest ladies and gentlemen 😂😂😂

Y'all faces when Kimiko getting her leg sawed off-- 🤣😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀

Did you ever think you’d say, “At least the Octopus gave a fuck and loved you.” 😂

"Got blood on her tiddies now" "WHERE?" this exchange has me dying lmao

Nah Deep getting PACKED UP by Annie was the best moment outta the whole season 😂😂😂

It's amazing to me that a breakup scene between an overpowered dude with gills and a talking octopus can be so dramatic and believable 😭

" I cant believe I'm defending an Octopus" gotta be the line of 2024 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"I never wanna see that mf again tho" 2:49 I laughed out loud knowing what's coming XDDD

Sister Sage is not to be played with bc I believe she waited for the right time to be fired. Also Fire-CRACKER is basically Injustice Wonder Woman to Hoeĺander😂

Seeing as the shapeshifter slept with Hughie under false pretenses, he was basically sexually assaulted…for the second episode in a row. The writers hate Hughie this season, poor dude 😭

That shapeshifter ripping tissue off scene was definitely a Kripke callback to the classic shapeshifter scene from season 1 of Supernatural. I loved it.

The problem is Sage is like 20 steps ahead of everyone and the rest are too stupid to realize it.

This season has been so emotionally fucked up. I never thought ill get emotional over a fucking octopus

If Kimiko had died we would've seen yall go full Homelander

Starlight hasn't really been able to use her powers since the abortion thing came out. I think that's why she can't just break the chains. She's going through some emotional crisis that's leaving her unable to fully use her powers, like Peter in Spider-Man 2!

The A-Train redemption arc has been my favorite to see over the seasons, I also hated him too but now find myself rooting for him 💯👏🏽 seriously hoping he doesn’t get taken out by homelander or something 🤞🏽

31:45. Struggle Soldier-- my guy, did you just strap up at the end?! 😵😳

Poor Tilda Swinton. She has terrible luck with characters named Kevin.

I think Annie losing her powers is the equivalent of Tobey Maguire having a web block. When she makes up her mind that she's the shit, she come back more powerful than ever

I had guessed that Annie was actually the shapeshifter, but then she mentioned details of conversations they had earlier in the episode. So does the shapeshifter copy memories too? That's wild if so.

I think that shapeshifter used the same type of gas that was used on soldier boy on star light

Butcher and Annie lucky af that OG Black Noir is dead cause he would have packed them up before MM and A-Train would've showed up

At the end of season 1 Hughie could've left A train to die but did the right thing saving him, and now we see that he helped and saved them multiple times, without A train the boys would've been done

I love the two distinct reactions to Frenchie cutting off Kimiko's leg. Dude on the left: Hands up and twist and jerk around in discomfort. Dude on the right: Shadow boxing.

The seven as muppets were hilarious this episode 😂 Also: homelander not killing sage really was a surprise to me and Atrain completing his redemption arc

Why isn’t anybody talking about how Noir took like 10 seconds of sustained fire from a mini-gun and is back on his feet walking around like nothing happened. Wtf?

So Negan is basically Venom. He is totally controlling Butcher. If Butcher let's Negan's in, goes with what Negan wants, he will become stronger and that's what happened with Ezekiel, he let Negan take over. Now that he is fighting against him, he is getting worse and worse.

The Black Noir puppet playing piano was a great call back to Season 1. Jesse's A-Train acting and character arc/rollercoaster just gets better and better -- no small challenge considering he's a character from the original episode years ago. Only Starlight and Homelander remain from the beginning, where Starlight's kinda got tiresome.

I kinda wanted y'all to talk about the fact that Sage didn't need to lobotomize herself to f*ck Black Noir😂. Deep basically killed Ambrosius for nothing

Been waiting for this all day 🔥

Hughie cheated on Starlight and he aint even know it yet. Poor Hughie is finna go on a guilt trip.

Could you theoretically drown The Deep? Shouldn't he only be able to breathe underwater through his gills? I'd imagine he'd need to be submerged to be able to use them. So if you hold just his head under, his lungs would fill with water. He'd flop around like a fish and drown. That'd be a cool way to do him in, anyway.

You two have become must see tv after every episode of this amazing season. Love your friendship, humor, and passion for the genre. Blessings

Another great reaction! I was screaming from laughing when y’all danced to the leg scene 😂😭💀 I can’t believe that this was only the penultimate episode. Next week’s finale is gonna be WILD!

I believe Ashley stayed because she fears she knows to much and would be a liability if to Homelander if she leaves. Also she lookesd at that picture like Kimiko ans ''M.M. who can't see themselves in the mirroe or do not recognize the person looking back. She probably was like: "I'm going to change the system from the inside!" and became a part of the system she wanted to change.

11:42 scary grandma I think she's the same actress from True Detective Season 1. Short time appearance but omg she was terrifying.

I really hate the deep in the episode. Like come on bro, you had the slightest bit of character dev, and now yous the biggest jack ass in the show, 100%. Amazing reaction!

Lucky mf he deserve this after what he dealt with last episode.Get him a win 🤣🤣 oh man poor Hughie

Parts of the internet are rage-debating over the Hughie and Tek-Knight episode (as to whether or not he was doing his job or was sexually assaulted), but Hughie definitely got sexually assaulted in THIS episode. He's going to be messed up.

A-Train is a dead duck but dammit he will go out as an actual hero! he will go out worthy of real hero respect which i think is all he wants at this point

😅🤣I Like This Channel. Very Good Opinions and Good Commentary. And You Both Are Very Hilarious. Good Episode And Great Reactions Y'all👍🏾💯💯👍🏾

*The laat episode is literally called "Assasination run" Yall say "Goodbye" to A-train* 😢

The shape-shifter reminds me of a Dungeons and Dragons character. He's a werewolf that transforms by tearing it's human skin off. Sometimes it would like tear it all off quickly. Other times it would like banana peel just the top half and kill someone while it's bottom half is still wearing the human skin.

The octopus is voiced by actress Tilda Swinton.

I never knew the octopus was voiced by Tilda Swinton until this episode 😅

14:25 🤣☠️ “where”

Hughie dressed like butcher with the trench coat

TIL the octopus was played by Tilda Swinton. Woman will act her heart out of ANY role 😆

I just remembered that it was available when you guys posted this. 😂 Cheers

I love the marvel insults and fuckery, like soldier boy being the realistic captain america, webweaver the most pathetic gross spider-man, and this shapeshifter like the most violent form of Mystique

Starlight really can't catch a break, can't she?

A Train coming through 🔥🔥

One of my friends said I have a fetish for characters who are bad and have a character arc that makes them good. I can't help it but A train's arc is so dam goated I pray he get's to fuck up Deep later on.

13:11 Tbh I laughed when A Train said that because it genuinely looked like MM didn't think of that. What a terrible CIA agent. I guess he did just have a heart attack and was thinking about his wife and daughter so I'll let it slide lol.

starlight's power comes from light. That's why they put her in a dark room

14:23😂😂😂

Crazy the show has a plot about a presidential shooter and then today happens

Looks like Sage’s plan has taken effect..with the shapeshifter now acquiring Starlights appearance, to kill Singer..possibly

That fight was so cool :)

That puppet stuff was wrong, but I couldn't stop laughing at how stupid it was. I know Firecracker was a problem when she was introduced. She already started making a move to get Sister Sage kicked out. The Deep is just doing Ambrosia the octopus dirty and can't even tell when someone or something actually cares about him. Starlight's mom is still a character that I don't like. I didn't think Butcher was going to actually tell them what he's been up to so that caught me by surprise. Actually thought MM would co-lead with Butcher, but I guess he needed to get all that stress off of him to get back into good health. I wish Ashley and A-Train had decided to leave at some point because I think one of them is probably going to die by next season. Damn, that shapeshifter is going to be a real problem for them to deal with. I loved that scene with MM and A-Train. They're really making you start to like his character which is messed up because that's what shows do when they want to rip your heart out by killing off a character. I knew what was going down with Webweaver the moment Firecracker brought him to Homelander. Homelander doesn't know how to think 3 steps ahead properly and instead just acts on stuff. The Deep is such a piece of crap for what happened with Ambrosia. There's a reason why people in the show see his character as an idiot scumbag because he is one. I gave his character a chance to be better, but I totally done thinking he's character can be better than he is currently. I actually didn't know that Huey (Jack Quaid) and Victoria (Claudia Doumit) are a real life couple. He's a lucky guy. That office fight was so awesome and it was probably a good thing that A-Train didn't leave earlier. I laughed my butt off when Starlight realized Black Noir talked. 🤣 It's nice every now and again to be reminded that Ashley has a good side that is only in the backseat for self-preservation. She would probably be a nicer person if it wasn't for all of the Vought BS she has to deal with all the time. Homelander screwed up big time listening to Firecracker. With Sister Sage kicked out they are going to be constatly messing up and everything is going to come crumbling down around them. Damn, Sister Sage was playing both Deep and Black Noir. It was worse for Deep because she didn't dumb herself down to get with Black Noir like with Deep. What an idiot. 😂 Samir is going to get messed up by Frenchie or Kimiko for what he did if they ever see him again. I'm glad that Ryan is still holding on to the way his mother raised him and not letting Homelander turn him into a monster. I wasn't expecting the twist with Starlight at the end, but I did enjoy the reveal with her character earlier. 👀😁 I create characters and one thing you got to remember is just because you're a superhero with powers doesn't mean your physical powers are on the same level with another superhero or villain. Like with Marvel Comics you have Normal (Banshee), Athlete (Cyclops), Peak Human (Colossus[in human form]), Enhanced Human (Blade), Superhuman Class 10 (Spider-Man) to 100 (Hulk) and then Incalculable strength. Something made for Peak Human won't hold a Class 10, but something made for a Class 10 will hold a Peak Human because they aren't strong enough to break it. I haven't seen the Long Legs movie yet, but I'm still going to check it out to see if I like it or not. Enjoyed the reaction 👍👍✌ out.

He said “Not this damn song” Lol

@11:29 Bruh I was like. 😳Girl what you doing?! HELL NAH BISH !! 😂 - So glad Kimiko survived that, think I would’ve dropped a couple tears for her if she hadn’t. Kimiko and Frenchie always saving each other 😎 - I think Sage intended on playing Homelander too the whole time. She knows he’s a POS, but it’s a power play for her like when she opened up to Nueman back at that party. - Amazing episode, I fully expected Butcher to lose it and wild the F out during that fight.

The only thing I love more than The Boys at the moment is ye're episode reactions! When they cut off Kimikos leg, I thought of....no-glasses guy(?) being upset for his wifey.

Starlight gets her power from light , she’s at her weakest in that boarded up places

21:56 😂😂😂😂😂 “She gotta survive!” Felt that!

The puppets are a nice touch. The reasons they have them in the narrative, etc.

Best episode of the season so far. Was waiting for this reaction as soon as I finished watching it.

Is Kessler saying "crmpie maeve" something or nothing? He was a temp v supe at the time so she could be pregnant?🤷‍♂

I think now that sage is mad at Homelander, she’s going to help the boys with the virus and since she’s the smartest person she can easily figure out how to get it to stop Homelander

The mention of Butcher 🍦🥧 Maeve makes me wonder if there’s a supe Billy bastard out there.

noir had me crying when he fell asleep mid fight 😂

I always assumed Starlight needed some form of light or energy nearby to use her powers. Even if her powers weren't on the fritz normally, I figured being locked in some dark room with no source of power around would hinder her. Like locking Magneto in a Plastic Prison. lol.

This show is awesome! 🤩 also I ❤ your guy’s content.

Y'alls rendition of Steal My Sunshine is now my favorite version bc 😂😂😂😂😂

14:23 where? LMAO!!!

You know A-Train is gonna pop in during the Finale all slick. cannot wait. Hope he lives and continues being a real hero.

you guys are truly my favorite, great reaction

Daisy Duck Dynasty is doin math....😅 Fun Fact - Tilda Swinton is the Voice of Ambrosia

That sawing dance was amazing 😂😂

I love this episode so much

I hope Ambrosia escapes, tells all the sea creatures what Kevin did and they 'deal' with him! But if she is dead, there were witnesses in the other tank!

R.I.P to Octolady 😔💐🐙

I just realized Mother's Milk wife is Barbara, Cooper/The Ghoul's ex-wife from Fallout.

Literally every episode is crazy

*A win is still a win* Hughie Campbell, probably

You describe everything you don't want or are worried about right before it all happens lol

Says they never want to see web weaver again... immediately sees him again, more nasty than ever before 🤣

14:23 dude😂

The only way for Ashley to survive is to take Compound V, let's see. Plus, that virus they are cooking will it also kill Butcher with or without his V'd up 'worm'?

Tava esperando a reação deles 🤟🏻❤️

13:34 😂

😂 your reactions to kimiko's leg his hilarious 😂😂

14:24 I almost choked 😂😂😂😂

In all honesty.. the season overall his been kinda weird and off-kilter compared to the previous ones - but what is absolutely undeniable is that they've done some good fucking work with A-Train and his arc this season.

You two guy's reactions are so funny.

I think the new sup that has starlight is a Mystique from X-men. Maybe she has the ability to take powers like rogue and that’s why Starlight couldn’t break out of the chains ???

14:22 💀💀

I clicked immediately 😂

my man hughie can’t catch a break 😅
