The Boys Homelander vs Queen Maeve full fight 

Homelander doesn't even have to punch anyone. He can kill a normal human being by just patting him

@@aeskin1 Not to mention he can cut people in half or cause someone to explode just by staring at them.

Actually his combat style is optimized

I appreciate your observation, demonstrates a weakness of his.

@@kingol4801 No it isn't. Homelander has always relied on his pure strength, invulnerability, and laser eyes for every encounter which is usually with soft squishy regular humans. The reason he gets his ass kicked by the Boys earlier and Maeve in this scene is because he's never had to ACTUALLY practice his form or have a real foe to fight. His wide, predictable haymakers make him an easy target in hand-to-hand for anybody who actually knows and has had a fist fight before, such as Butcher. He hasn't practiced because why would you need to when you can just laser everybody in half?

Hes got a bit of training from when he was a child but not nearly as much as maeve soldier boy or billy

Homelander is a good fighter, he's just lazy and doesn't really wanna do much.

Bro was able to compete with Soilder Boy combat wise, and Queen Meave is the best fighter in the series. So hes no were close to the worst fighter in the series, mfs definitely in top 5. Only thing holding him back is his arrogance and how he loses motivation when he doesn't one punch his opponent.

@@luce698 he was able to compete with those two solely by being stronger and faster, in terms of combat skill they dwarve him

@@brandonm5130 no they don't, if you think that you should just watch the show again, also watch the final episode of the boys diabolical

Me personally, I would of let him and butcher team up

Maeve is 3rd strongest after soldier boy, second strongest in the seven.

i think soldier boy would've put up a better fight against homelander if soldier boy didn't blow his load a few minutes earlier

No es ninguna poderosa

she landed cheap shots the entire fight and still lost

@TIMVAL1995 yeah because homelander is stronger than her obviously

And then the homelander making a dent in one of her eye was heartwarming 🤗🤗

I know it was so cool! Then when she knocked his ass back and saved the day. A true heroine!!

My question is because when I burned Stormfront's tits I left her burned, but doesn't that mean that Meave was stronger than Stromfront?

still stronger than her. she kept throwing cheap shots and still lost

@@TIMVAL1995 im also pretty sure bro was holding back

Cry more kid. He's literally the BackBone of the show 😂

It’s the people who call other people kid on the internet who like to pretend they are some cool older guy, they are often the kid in real life 👶👩‍👦

LEAKING

I kinda wish it was her actual end though. Her living seemed kinda illogical and pointless. :|

@@DinkLover69 but then it wouldn’t make sense that kimiko survived the blast from sb

Well Maeve fell from a skyscraper with her powers sapped, Kimiko got to lay there. Not a big dig at the show though, just thought it'd be more impactful. @@yourname888

@@DinkLover69 well she fell with soldier boy and he still has powers so he probably unintentionally saved her from the long fall

She can’t. Homelander is stronger. Didn’t you see that he was holding back. He didn’t even use flight and his sonic scream. He is stronger, faster and he can fly a lot faster than prime a train. The show nerfed him a bit so she could stand a better chance because she is one of the heroes. Only soldier boy can beat him.

@@Flash-Man816 The show doesn't really follow the comic especially in character arc and power level.

@@Flash-Man816she can hurt him but won’t ever win a 1v1 not sure she could win even with Butchers help especially since Homelander wasn’t focused on her

She’s fucking dead dude

​@@Flash-Man816sb cant beat him they had a 1v1 homelander was winning its just he choked sb more rather than snapping sb neck and got saved by butcher😂

That doesn't make sense.. if he didn't want to fight then why not just end the fight?? If he could.. specifically after she hurt him

@@davlin7685 Dude, have u wateched the show ? He warned her multiples times, then she gets what she wanted, keep in mind he is also a psychopath.

Yeah he didn't wanted to fight her and also didn't go at her full throttle but still she was able to do more damage to him than butcher and SB together.

@@francargeric1”he didnt want to fight her” he took one of her eyes dude

@@Zachebi he wanted her eggs, didnt want to kill her better worded

Fr the only thing I hate about this show is that the writers are so stupid and the supes aren't shown as strong as they really are.

@@sixtysevenbonesyes, purposefully choosing to portray the characters in a different manner to the comics, and makes them far more compelling as they’re more vulnerable, is the writers being “stupid”

​@@JimaybobWell, it makes all of Homelander's threats and big talk about wiping out society seem kinda like foolish arrogance. From what we've seen, it'd take a small team of other supes to subdue him. Certainly not as big a threat he's been hyped up as.

lack of budget

@@dw3134well Maeve is nothing to laugh at. She’s one of her strongest supes out there. Same with soldier boy and and butcher when he’s on v. so no a small group of supes can’t take him out. Because most supes aren’t on his level.

this was my exact same feeling about him in this season. The interest of his character was that I was under the impression he was actually stronger than other suped, but now hes just a child who doesnt know how to fight and isn't really all that strong when actually challenged. Makes the whole character a lot less interesting as a "all-powerful psycopath" when he really isn't all-powerful at all.

​@@siy4545 makes sense - his Superman persona is a facade. Stan Edgar calls HL a man child. Vought marketing makes everyone believe HL is stronger than he really is. Fear keeps people in line and stops them from trying to take him on.

Wait till season 5. I feel like he's gon get a massive power upgrade cause we haven't seen him go full psycho till now.

​@@JA-fh4ywNo, that's wrong, and misses the point of the show. He really is like a mini Superman.

​@@CharLie_69I hope you're right.

He could just train by himself but he is not a hero he is just acting

@@minicurtas5581 Correct, he's not a hero, he's a superhero.

Homelander does know some combat moves, just look at the way he took on Soldier boy and Butcher at the same time, clearly he doesn’t know enough, but he does know some.

Homelander takes IQ, people think he's stupid just because he's arrogant even though he's one of the smartest overall characters in the series.

He actually has decent fighting skills. He fights with the supe version of Billi Butcher on equal terms, although Butcher is a skillful street fighter

⁠​⁠@@aeskin1billy had weaker strength, the only reason butcher even held his own is because hes a superior combatant skill wise

He fights like a horror movie villain when he gets stressed but other than that he's really good.

That doesn't make sense.. if he didn't want to fight why not just finish the fight if he could?? Especially after she hurt him

@@davlin7685 so him telling her several times to stop didnt make sense to you?

@@hehateme1017ok but then once they were fighting, IF he could’ve instantly ended it the Way you’re saying, he WOULD have. But he couldn’t. That’s why he was distracted for so long

@@collingrant185 shes lucky he only took her eye. She couldnt even stop him from doing that, and it took her pissing him off to get him serious enough to even go that far lol

@@hehateme1017 he was serious the entire fight, because again, he was fighting to try to save his son. From the moment she actually stopped him from doing that he was serious. Homelanders lucky that maeve got distracted and suddenly had to tackle soldier boy out the window, because if she hadn’t, homelander was stunned, dazed, and helpless after that straw through his ear. You can see it on his face. If he had her full attention she probably would’ve finished him right there lmaoo

She punch She great

Just a character

Love when female characters given the respect they deserve

Nah this is how you write inconsistently.

She lost the fight tho and got her eye taken out

homelander is stronger, maeve just has better combat skills

@@nikifett8986 Still credit my point, Queen Maeve combat skills, makes up for her disadvantage in a fight against homelander. Homelander only scored two points against here when he got serious, that was digging into her eyes and through her unto the ground, outside of that she did put up a good, fight. She Cuffed homelander back, and he used flight mode to slow down the impact of the punch, Maeve however, doesn't have flight powers so she would fly back until she hit something, which can be the wall. I agree he appears to be stronger, but she is a good match for him

@@kaceesnow If Homelander wanted to and the PLOT didn’t stop him, he would snapped Maeve like a pencil.

@@muhammadeyssa23648 And if the PLOT didn't stop them, Soldier Boy would've depowered Homelander by now. You can make excuses via plot however you look at it.

@@girlboss5172 true plot works both ways on every show but im glad it didnt so we could get another season out of this🤭

Monkey you're wrong

@@WontedCello stupid mind fuck i didnt ask u shit im right

Least braindead simp:

​@@WontedCellocry, he is right

@@pol129 no not at all

she wasn’t a human yet before hitting the ground.

@@skitzo899 but kimiko immediately lost her power after getting hit by the beam, means she was a human right after so that should pretty much be the case with maeve right?

@@moein2922 i don’t think so cuz maeve is stronger than kimiko. the beam straight up incinerated crimson countess and the tnt twins but kimiko survived because she’s stronger than them. even at herogasm some people survived after being hit by it but still lost their powers.

@@moein2922 basically what i’m saying is it just didn’t take her powers away immediately because she’s on the stronger side of supes

In the comics: Soldier Boy is weaker than Butcher, Noir is stronger than Homelander and half the characters are sexual offenders. Not related to the show at all

What @cashpick395 said. Also, Stormfront is Homelander's father, all the Boys have superpowers, The Deep is black and doesn't assault Starlight (but Homelander, Black Noir, and A-Train do), Noir is Homelander's clone, etc. Entirely different continuity.

@@Helbinor the comic was just random edgy shit for the sake of being edgy

Everyone would've died are you not paying attention dog?

That’s what I’m saying like nobody would’ve died there because they were all supes (except for MM but Butcher could have protected him). If Maeve survived that explosion then the others could have too, and about Ryan, he can die Idgaf

@EDP_likesMinors I'm pretty sure vought Tower would've been destroyed, so there would definitely be a couple hundred casualties.

@@tysonpeterson9552 Whatever it takes, am I right?

@@JudgeHolden626 It depends on the outcome.

You aren't wrong. But is there a possibility that the nuke injured Homelander? He did survive, but as far as I know, the damage he sustained is not mentioned.

​@@IsaacPiezacit's a story told by his manager. It's silly to think they nuke homelander at some point. It's likely to be false.

He wasn't hit by a nuke, they KEPT nukes around him to have him in check.

@@kissadev. ? Soldier Boy got nuked with a Tzar Bomb and was ok - developed powers even

Took time to realize i remembered her from house of cards

Nobody is stronger than Homelander, that is what it takes to kill him in a one-on-one fight. He wouldn't have been in danger against Butcher, Maeve and Soldier Boy if the BCL Red blast that could take his powers from him wasn't a factor. He will die when Ryan becomes his equal, and turns on him.

@@LightninLewis Soldier boy and Butcher held their own 1v1 against Homelander for a time, after their fight Homelander’s face was bruised and it affected him, Maeve’s punch made him bleed. I’m sure all three could beat him to death. If each one of them can give him brusies and make him bleed then I don’t see Homelander surviving a 3v1.

@@gsotelo1053 None of them are strong enough. Soldier Boy, and Butcher double- teamed him, and they were unable to gain the advantage until Hughie showed up. Ryan is the only one who can fatally wound him, eventually.

We still saw another version of that two episodes prior.

I went through his ear.He has sensitive hearing bro.

*bisexual

Yes. Media in general portrays superpowers so horribly when it comes to combat.

Theyre not supernatural but theyre still probably made of durable material, just like soldier boys shield

Probably zinc

Whatever they were, Maeve's been planning to fight Homelander a long time. It's the only thing she'd ever have to train for. Those men with bats, the sword, the gauntlets... all her trying to figure out a way not to be afraid of the man. It paid off, her training worked... as best as it could. She made him bleed. I like somebodies idea that they're Zinc, maybe an alloy. Might also not "block" it but accentuate her natural defense. Some things may dull heat and obfuscate lasers, depending on the mechanism in which his heat vision works she likely has something to keep her arm itself from frying. Dampening that keeps it from aggregating - heat dissipating material would more evenly spread the blast over her whole arm, preventing it from creating a single point in which to debilitate. It may also starve oxygen stopping it from flaring. There's a lot of composites with heat-wicking capabilities that can work well. Blankets put out fires, as crazy as it seems. Heat retardent material would go a long way, even if it didn't block it - to help her sustain the blast. She is strong enough to let an armored car run through her, so it may just be something to bolster her natural defenses, which would be simpler. Layered composites similar to fireman material would suffocate a lot of the growing heat. Bear in mind she's got a LOT of money and Vaught may have supplemented her "requests" before Homelander took over.

In Gen V Vought built a suit for Golden Boy that could resist his powers.

? Superman can fight very well. Unless you read some Batman fanboy comics.

Did you not see the end of the series? She didn't die.

She didn't die. Just doesn't have powers anymore

She can get them back with Compound-V

I actually support Soldier Boy as im a Supernatural show fan. Also he tends to swear funny like is the end of the world 😅

? Yes. Because it undermines the whole premise of the show.

He was unfortunately holding back but superman is stronger than him either way

She probably wasn't even aware of her strength and was probably scared to even try. Hens why, when she saw Homelander's nose bleed, she knew she can cause some damage

I mean, she lost her powers and her "death" became public, so she can keep a low profile. Why would she not survive?

@@hydroshock1853 She's gonna get them back im sure

I like the theory about his innards not being indestructible the way the rest of him is. It seems pretty plausible.

Which would be stupid. If their inside tissues were not durable, their bodies collapse from their own exertions

It's called bad writing, we get it.

@@Al0neStillAlive There is always that (bad writing) of course, but the show established pretty early on that Maeve was training to fight Homelander not necessarily to win but to stall him (saying something like "I'll get a couple of good shots in) so if anything the writing for the fight was pretty consistent

Well, Homelander's not just a cheap knockoff of Soldier Boy. He's the upgrade.

Well soldier boy did use his nuke before homelander got there in the first fight. I dont know if there is a toll or drain too his power level when he uses it. We can see that when he did it he was on the ground and had to get up

@@joeytoofly5139 His power is like a wined-up toy, you need to wined it up (charge it up) for it to work properly, that's basically his power. The longer he charges it the more powerful it becomes and he can use it whenever he wants with the only draw back being he has to recharge it to use it again. So i highly bout he was weakened, a little tired maybe but weakened no.

THANK YOU, she uses a simp as a projectile showing how much of a sexist scumbag she is as the guy splatters on Homelander, closes on him and gets her head knocked clean off in one hit off frame in the comic; yet here she is overly powerful and lauded, made into a martyr heroine even though she was just as shyte or worse than Homelander morally. These writers a so pathetic and predictably formulaic that it’s just a general eyeroll at this point like one would do with toddlers.

Thing is people like Meave and the writers made her an enjoyable character to watch, so offing her in one hit is not only not that interesting but would be a discredit to her character development, also the comic may be the baseline for the show, but we can all agree the show is far better then the original comics.

@@chemdawg5648 Original comics has a very different direction. But it has very valid ideas.

I’m pretty sure Butcher knew Homelander could survive it. He mainly wanted to get the compound v out of his system after seeing an example (kimiko)

But then he wouldn't have powers and could get curb stomped by Butcher.

The ending made no sense. Why Homelander is suddenly vulnerable? Why did they all attack Soldier Boy when Homelander was there for the taking? One of them should've taken Ryan away while the others distract Homelander, easy win.

I agree with you mate 100% . I did this clip like a year ago and cant remember why did the audio ended up like this . I was either way too green back than editing (which is true) but I also suspect the video was not uploading and being blocked and I had to lower the volume in order to upload it for the AI thing ? Really cant remember what happened . I do see that is now having a '' The owner allows the use of this content and No restrictions. '' Either way, im happy that people still stop by and thank you for the comment . I believe I have improved a lot since this clip .Looking forward for the new season! Cheers

@@thesteammachine1282 YT sucks, The Boys is soooo good. All i know lol

Yeah he was holding back until he started bleeding and immediately after gouged her eye out. Also he literally barely managed to escape those 3 without dying, and two of them were outright weaker than maeve, and soldier boy like maeve was able to fight him 1v1 for a while

@@brandonm5130 ya 3 supes especially soldier boy all together holding him down are definitely stronger than maeve by a lot and he still overpowered all 3 of them at once in order to escape that should tell you he's holding back on maeve by a lot

Because it is still a hole in the body. Ear membrane is really really thin . Same as that invisible guy from season one, (cant remember his name). His body was armored, but the moment they sedated him and placed a grenade in his but, it was the end .

Was probably not going to be pretty for sure . The skin strength of the supers in this show tend to vary, but the eyes is probably a different story .

That moment with Becca and Stormfront makes me wonder why everybody doesn’t aim for the eyes when fighting supes.

@@fissilewhistle Yeah

@@thesteammachine1282 True

She trained a year in prep for homelander and it paid off. The supes are all lazy and do not train a day in their lives, they rely heavily on their abilities an that's it. It makes sense that Maeve is portrayed strongest here since her abilities are pure strength (and a year of training), with the right equipment she could've killed homelander all by herself.

@@itsvaraa Beat me to it. Training matters, she could amplify her force by an order of magnitude by using proper technique. She can't use normal human techniques because she's a supe, but she developed something of a training regimen. We see her training against men with bats, which seems like nothing, but the force that results from a bat swinging is staggering and she was taking them on the chin by practiced opponents. All that added up. We see her doing sword kata's in another scene - she was practicing. That matters, a trained fighter can put out a ton of force. Meanwhile Homelander's blood smearing there is likely just some soft tissue in his nose getting messed up - and he may bleed more than normal people if his heart is pumping 10 times as fast. Bloodying him a bit isn't indicative of serious damage, just that Maeve actually can do *some* damage. Though I'd disagree that she could kill him with the right equipment all by herself, only because in the comics we see Homelander take ridiculous amounts of physical punishment - he's a ripped up ghoul by the end and still fighting. I mean seriously messed up, apparently he can take a LOT of damage. Meanwhile he doesn't want to kill her here, even after she bleeds him - he still thinks of her as important to his legacy. He gets one grab on her and she can't do anything, she couldn't even get her skull out of a weak hold when he put his thumb through her eye. He didn't even have a great grip, it was just so strong even with one hand. If he walks up like a zombie she's really got little defense once he stops showboating. He's THAT strong, that head grip couldn't have seemed that strong - but she's pinned there. He flies up from the floor, she's resisting one arm but she can't resist the other. Maeve's probably the strongest alongside Soldier Boy, and with technique she can make a showing of it - but Homelander, the moment he really went on offense nearly killed her. After he gets a clean hit Maeve is benched immediately, completely sullied for a moment. It takes her a while to get back up from that and while Homelander's technique was awful, she got floored. She got a clean shot at his nuts too and it didn't phase him - that's not pain tolerance, she couldn't do enough damage and she'd trained for maneuvers like that. We see her blocking kicks against the bat guys, she was ready to go for the jewels and it barely phased him. Her arm guards blocked the heat vision somewhat, so it's likely a composite meant to dull the heat-transference. Flame retardent material mixed with something with cooling benefits at high temperatures... But nothing is gonna stop brute force, there's no vest in the world that can enhance her defense against homelander's fists. No helment, no riot gear, no armo that can pull that off - it'd just make it worse. In the comics when she brings the sword she dies immediately, so that's not a good idea. But in her defense, I think she's been training longer than a year. I think she was training somewhat day 1 of meeting Homelander, and like Starlight those kids got training in their youth. All that adds up. Homelander's training was political in nature, but Maeve's training routine seems quite advanced. Fighting men with bats doesn't SEEM comparable, but that's about as good as you can find outside training with other supers and doing strength training. She likely went easy on them to emphasize what she needed to, i.e. countering tactically. But Homelander has flight, heat vision, strength and defense on his side. She's overmatched. If he simply flies up and lasers down, she has absolutely no way of beating that. Even if she grabs his cape going up, she's going up, she has no way to drag him down. He lifted 3 men flying, including Soldier Boy. In a building like this, he can also fly DOWN. But there's a good chance she could take Soldier Boy. He grew up human so he has *some* intuitive fighting ability and grit, so it wouldn't go easy but... good chance there. But I'd certainly agree she can definitely make Homelander bleed, it's not unreasonable at all. They've been setting this up for seasons. But if he gets serious, she's toast... and I doubt he'll ever risk this much damage again. She had surprise before, Homelander's never been challenged... but he's too strong, even if she gets a clean hit it won't kill - it takes Butcher a while with a crowbar beating his brains in to finish Homelander. A while. A.... while.... And I'm not talking in metaphor. He's at it quite a while in the comics. They aren't going that route in this show, but relatively speaking we're going to see that level of brutality most likely. I'm rooting for her and that training shouldn't be devalued, but in a serious fight it's gonna get ugly faster. She's got some admirable skills but Homelander's ridiculous. Maybe if she could get some compound V or magnify her abilities even slightly to offset the difference, but killing him... she's got too many challenges. She'd clearly trained to balance the difference, but it wasn't enough. She's losing here, even if she's getting some damn fine shots off. But otherwise I agree, bloodying Homelander is totally in her wheelhouse. Had he been anymore arrogant she might've done serious damage. But had she drawn a special knife he'd have been all over her. The straw had the unique advantage of being totally shockingly effective in a supes hands. That won't happen again. But I'm looking forward to the rematch, in the comics it went poorly but... we might get to see her show up with ideal equipment. Hopefully she consults butcher on her choice of implements. But then it'll be a blowout - if she shows real intent to kill, he's not gonna play. Maybe with an ambush but that's hard to do when he hears absolutely everything. She might've messed up one ear, maybe, but... that's heavily situational. Because if she brings 1 piece of subpar equipment it's over... and that sword is definitely not gonna cut it. But we'll see, they definitely will bring her back.

@@itsvaraa Science makes “training” worthless. Weapons exist for a reason. And superbeings are living weapons. Batman can train for lifetimes, but if any semblance of realistic physic is involved, Superman would still rip his skin off by sneezing

@@kingol4801 take their better counter parts into account, wonder woman after 1 year of training > lazy super man that doesn't know how to fight or use his abilities to the fullest of their potential

not really. it was said long ago that maeve is second strongest to homelander (before soldier boy came back) and she was training to fight him. it’s not so far fetched that she can hurt him

I think it's interesting how different each fight Homelander has is. Butcher probably isn't a trained fighter, more just a very experienced street-fighter type. Soldier Boy is probably fairly similar to Homelander except with more training, based on his handling of his shield. Then there's Maeve, who makes it a point to train often. Homelander never fights anyone who fights exactly the same way he does, and that's a pretty cool detail imo.

She's not tho, you can clearly see him being way stronger by how the punches affect the other. He's not even trying it and he's still way stronger than a person who focused and trained the whole year for him

Me when I have severe media illiteracy

She is NOT stronger, she IS a better fighter and that is the crucial difference in their strength differential which I would argue is hardly a large gap. An unruly 5 year old would be able to make a full grown adult bleed quite easily if an elbow were to connect with a nose maybe

She ain't strong, she is just trained
