The Boys | Season 2 Episode 4 Review 

Homelander steals EVERY scene he is in! Antony Starr needs to be nominated for an Emmy!

Man, I’d love for these to be 40 minute plus. I feel like there is a lot more to talk about. But I’m just thankful you guys post anything. Your team at Nerd Soup is fantastic

If Anthony Star is not nominated for an acting award I will be extremely disappointed.

The only issue I have with this review is that they didn't talk about how it was Frenchie who handed Grace Mallory's grandchildren to Lamp Lighter. It makes sense why he turned his life around to help The Boys defeat Vought in an attempt at redemption for those kids' deaths.

Dang, Mandalorian season 2 trailer AND a new video from Nerd Soup? This day is working out to be mighty fine.

Beau - “She seemed like a RIDE or die” Thought that would go unnoticed huh? 😂

I miss the game of thrones reviews but the boys is great too

That final scene when Homelander returns to Doppleganger.... *YES!* they're doing it - _they're going with the original comic series Homelander twist!_ How did you miss this??!!

I can see A-Train joining the boys or at least redeeming himself

“She needs a Phil Jackson to mold her” 😆😆 hahaha

i Wonder if Doppelganger's 'Homelander" body will come into play at all this season. HL'er can easily fake his own death now, if he wanted to lol. Seemed that Doppleganger's body kept it's form, i wonder if even the DNA would be the same.

Have I mentioned that I wouldn't mind some more Umbrellas and Patrols in my Soup? :D

literally just checked for this episode a few hours ago and was so sad it hadn’t been uploaded, now i’m hyped

Every time Frenchy calls Kimiko "mon couer" I tear up. Frenchy ate mother's milk are two of the best guys

the 8 dislikes are from vought employees

I did not like Frenchie last season but I am starting to warm up to him.

Homelander makes every scene so uneasy. Can't watch any scene without the fear of him popping up around the corner

I thought this was the most boring episode of the season so far. I agree they took a step back, and it does feel right for this time in the story. I think my only issue was the amount of time spent on sex and the standard talk after which I've seen so many times in shows and movies. It's not that I have a problem with sex. I watch your average share of adult material, and am not religious. If some important or interesting things are said like with Butcher, it seems more fitting. But, we have Frenchie banging, then Butcher for the 2nd time in the show, then Huey for the 2nd time, and basically Homelander having relations with Doppleganger. It's just too much filler for my liking. It almost feels like a romantic comedy. The episode did have some great moments though, so I'm still excited to watch the next.

. I think Black Noir will find Becca and do the things he did in the comic book I don't know but we'll see

The real question is.. would butcher still love becca if she was a supe?

Great to see Nerd Soup getting quality reps in again

Cant believe you got that Audible sponsor 😂

Did anyone else think Billy was making out with Dopppeganger and the whole thing was a trick?

In the comics they live a long time.

Finally, I love your reviews of The Boys

I think Kamiko should stay the way she is, training would make her less fun to watch I feel like. she's basically the closest thing The Boys have to a Hulk or maybe Wolverine but be a better comparison. Not only is she strong and have a healing ability but she's also got this feral animalistic aspect to her, she's unpredictable.

I've been missing Frenchie's old girlfriend. It feels like she blew up the building then just disappeared

Bring back the pod

This is such a fantastic show, depicting that people with superpowers would really think of us normies. Just look at how people act with mere elected power, let alone god-like power they didn't even have to earn. (granted, I'm from the Chicago area, so I'm pretty jaded on how well people handle power in any capacity).

This review was better than the episode

Just like real life, taking passions and turning it into profit.

@NerdSoup Did ye see the Butcher short on twitter?

lol.. You guys jump right from episode 1 to 4 reviews! Come on, boys!

He's the bully at the school yard that when you bully him he punches you.....great analogy

This episode's a step back? This episode is the best amongst those 3 prior this one.

A train is umm, a big waste of space •_• his story doesn’t really go anywhere , hell I thought he died in the first season , so seeing him contribute nothing to the story is boring, And the deep is really not that deep...I don’t care about him or his story, it’s like everyone is a little kid in the show

Yes

Review and spoiler discussion should just be one video!!

People who didn’t like stormfront hidden motives, you’d better don’t read the stormfront from the comics Spoiler: He is a f nazi

You said “simmering inside” quite a bit this episode

Yasssss!!!

skip the reviews and just do the spoiler discussions

I really do t like homelander , he is creepy af with that milk fam 🤣 and yeah yah said it, he a little kid, a bully through and through, can’t wait till he dies

Love you

Been waiting on this one

The cinematography of starlight when she's in her costume is phenomenal. The way that they are sexualuzing her with the camera shots, mainly lower back shots, and showing her off is honestly genius. Because I really hate seeing all of it. Normally in shows I'd be all for it, but I just feel disgusting looking at her. They really make me sympathize with theae characters.

I can watch Homelander murder and maim people all day, I love his character and this show so much.... But something about that shot of the mutilated face after "Liberty" Murdered that woman's brother...it really just didn't sit well with me. Sometimes less is more and I don't know if they needed to show that. A mutilated face is already pretty bad, but for it to be racial motivated....makes it seem particularly nasty, especially when this stuff has LITERALLY happened in recent history, ( Emmett Till )not to mention with all the race wars earlier in the year...it was just strange they showed that.... Well, The show doesn't pull punches...we know that for sure, curious what you guys think.

Lmao pretty much every single scene with Hughy + Starlight or Butcher + Becca I was so scared. I expected Homelander to just show up and kill someone or otherwise fuck things up.

I would have relations with Doppelganger if he made himself look like Amy Adams.

Literally just finished listening to 1-3 review and was tweakin for this ep4 review to come out! Perfect timing!

Is Stormfront into Homelander as he's the image of the ubermenschen? Blue eyes blonde ? That got me wondering how old she is especially given the origins of Vought in Nazi germany.

I thought cheerie was a friends with benefits with Frenchie

A coup within a coup!! Head exploding!!!!! Double entendre. Nailed it.

I went through that, love of my life, we stopped talking for about a summer she gets kids with someone who doesn't stay and I know I can't stay either so we move on

When Huey said starlight can do the wavering thing and MM said “vibrato” I died laughing

Toooo much sitting around and talking this episode

How you gonna go from episode one to four?

I just got the notification from Twitter

Notification Squad, Mount Up!

You guys are the best

This show is becoming dumb. 1. The fugitives boys walking around, eating in restaurants in public place doesn't at all make sense. 2. Why does starlight have to go with the boys to a random mission. And after that break up. 3. This supes like starlight is going anywhere doing anything and we have to assume big companies like vought do nothing about it. 4. Butcher infiltrates the facility. But how? Wasn't that important enough to show the viewers rather than people travelling in a car and singing. The character arks, logics are all over the place. Very disappointed.

WOW, am I the only person who didn't know Tom Cruise was in this Cult?!?! I'm reading about this shit, its crazy!!

it would be kihda cool if a temporary alliance forms between The Boys and Homelander to take down Stormfront.
