THE BOYS Season 3 Episode 7 Breakdown, Theories, & Details You Missed! 

👨‍👦Well that was one hell of a REVEAL 👨‍👦 What do you think is going to happen in the finale? Check out my other THE BOYS videos here: ru-vid.com/group/PLY9KJ1cFVs7hlM1tt4Y0n3a3uW2fOGxhx

Poor Ryan imagine having Homelander as your father, Butcher as your Stepdad and SB as your granddad

I also like that the deep is still around just chilling and having a romance with octopus which is entirely insignificant to Main plot.

Actually Homelander can’t just kill Maeve and her eggs. Harvesting eggs and egg donation requires special hormones that causes lots of eggs and then you can only get them during ovulation, it’s not like organs or anything like that. So he does need her alive for at least about a month,

This show is incredible and the black noir backstory done in a cartoon way was disturbing and interesting simultaneously 🤣. Seeing butcher actually realize that his mission is getting good people hurt and it bothering was interesting to see. You can tell he looks at Hughie and MM as good friends but he's just hellbent in killing the supes, so he'd emotionally drunk with rage

An interesting detail I liked about Noirs flashback with the toons. Is that SB and Countess are played by animals that are predators with SB having an Apex Predator portraying him. Meanwhile the others are animals that get preyed upon. Noir is a sheep, the TNT twins are horses Mindstorm is a goat. And Gunpowder is a pig. Furthermore, Noir being a black sheep is a reference to how he was the Black Sheep of Payback bc he was never truly part of the team but Voughts loyal attack dog. And I think Edgar was a meerkat or something. He definitely looked like a sort of scavenger type animal that digs tunnels meaning he always has plans in place and will swoop in once the prey has been killed. Everyone does the work and he reaps the rewards without lifting a finger.

Season 4 theory, if Black Noir ends up living he might join the boys in season 4 and form a bond with Kimiko over both of their inability to speak and lack of choice in becoming a supe

It really blew my mind when Morbius came out from the corner and said “calm down Homelander, it’s Morbin time”

I'm proud of star light for standing up to homelander I also like to say she is treading on water not truly realizing what he is capable of doing .

I hate how Butcher is just knowingly enabling Hughie's addiction to compound V. What makes it worse is that Hughie is very much like a brother to Butcher.

My theory is that Stormfront provided the egg for Soldier Boys sperm. After soldier boy dies this season after building a father/son bond with Homelander, the icing on the cake next season to really push Homelander to madness will be the reveal that he was f*ING his own mother too, whom his own son essentially killed.

I honestly think it's pretty cool how they flipped comic Black Noirs arc and Soldier Boys arc. In the comics, Black Noir being a clone of Homelander is kind of flipped it onto Soldier Boy with him being Homeys father in the show. Then Soldier Boy in the comics wanting into the Seven and was willing to do anything for it, similar to how Black Noir has now been shown to want to be more popular before he was left brain damaged (to say the least).

I feel really bad for mindstorm he wasn't bothering anyone, and seemed like he needed guinuine help.

Now I'm more excited for the season finale. Now it's Soldier Boy and Homelander vs The Boys also including Starlight, Kimiko and maybe Black Noir. This was another amazing episode.

Imagine if noir ends up teaming up with the boys ,he knows he won't be able to take down soldier boy, and homelander alone.

I think Black Noir is actually really f'd up, not like in the comics, but his switch flips under rare circumstances and he trashes shit with no regard for the life of those around him. Hence the hard rock cafe incident, and why it's possible he has an on and off brain implant created by Vought.

Keep in mind that Soldier boy shot the priest because when he checked the engine, he saw that nothing was wrong and he reacted in prompt fashion.

I think Stormfront is in fact Homelander's biological mother. It would explain his ability to fly and his energy projection power.

19:24 it's worth mentioning that after kimiko's injection, there seemed to be at least two doses of blue V left

I think that stromfront is homelanders mother. She probably has eggs harvested. She was into that perfect race shit.

I'm calling right now, Soldier Boy is secretly resentful of homelanders existence and he blames him for everything that went wrong in life because had Homelander never existed, Vought wouldn't have decided to replace him. So Soldier Boy plans on using this to manipulate homelander and kill him. So I think this is going to be the thing that makes Homelander snap and get rid of his humanity and go on a rampage.

hear me out, everybody says that homelander has to die at the end of the show, but I think the perfect end for him would be for soldier boy to betray him and take away his powers permanently, so that he lives the rest of his life as a normal person, the perfect punishment

Also, Black Noir was the only Black guy on their team. Which is hinted at as being the motivation behind why Soldier Boy badmouthed Noir to Don Simpson. Hence Soldier Boy's comment about how if he caught Noir trying to "move on up" again, he'd put Noir in the ground. "Movin' On Up" is a reference to the tv show The Jeffersons, where a Black dry cleaning franchise owner moves out of poverty to the upper east side, renting a deluxe apartment in a high rise. Soldier Boy was pretty much telling Noir to know his place, and not try to rise above what Soldier Boy feels is his station. Even going so far as to berate Noir before beating him up, telling him he's nothing, and he'll never amount to anything. This is likely due to Soldier Boy being from 1940s, a time when Jim Crow was still going on, and Black people were considered second class citizens in America. Homelander's treatment of A-Train may be meant to be a modern day parallel to Soldier Boy and Noir's relationship. Showing that the apple truly doesn't fall that far from the racist tree.

Small correction; at the time of Soldier Boy's "death", Stan Edgar was not yet CEO. He was just payback's handler. So the order might not have come from Mr. Vought, but just from the board/CEO of that time. (i.e. Edgar was nowhere near the top of the ladder back then, so there are many places that order could have come from)

I think Neuman found Ryan, and gave his location to homelander.

Soldier boy + Homelander = unstoppable

Finding out what temp v does to the brain makes me believe that we saw it in its earliest stages in Diabolical. (The boyd in 3d episode) This could be before Vought found the right dosage for it. Now in the season, the development is ready for distribution.

I love that the actors and actresses in this show seem to have good relationships off the set!

11:05 Yes, his real name was mentioned before. Crimson Countess called Soldier Boy “Ben” in Episode 5 of Season 3.

Its kinda weird knowing the fact that both father and son did it with the same woman lmao

I commented this on a separate video, but I’m curious if Starlight will force/convince Hughie to take the more refined version of compound V so that it can heal him (possibly Butcher too, however I know she doesn’t care as much for him). Either way, in the end that would be crazy because they both permanently become what they set out to kill. As for Butcher though, I feel he’s going to eventually die - compound V or not. Just some random thoughts 😂

You can almost skip every scene of the Deep and not miss anything important this season, and last season. Maybe aside from him giving Maeve the flight video.

Why is nobody mentioning the fact there there was still loads of V left in that tube AFTER Kimiko took her dose. Just sitting there on the table. I hope they use it. And it isn’t just a continuity error.

No way SB gonna kill Homelander now, he mentioned he always wanted kids with Crimson countess. Too bad for Butcher.

regarding MM, you can also see his OCD/clean-freak in the fact that he uses a wet-wipe to clean the sofa before sitting down next to Frenchie. I noticed it when watching the episode and thought it's a pretty neat little detail

I knew homelander dad was soldier boy after episode 6 when he mentioned liberty and him founded herogasm

Finally a consistently good shoooeee. We're in the third season and it keeps getting better. It usually takes the 3rd season for me to drop interest, but I can't wait for the finale🤯

When this season started, and we've more of soldier boy, I've always thought they were too much alike because homelander was the next soldier boy, homelander the son of soldier boy, I bet butcher going to be pisses than usually.

Mothers milk’s flashbacks and fixations are ocd too. Not just the tapping. The anger too

I wonder if noir is somehow stronger now than before.

What I think will happen in the finale is this Maeve will be already pregnant with Butchers child, soldier boy will use the fact that he's homelanders father to usurp homelanders at vought, butcher and hewie will be dying and they will use real compound V to save their life thus increasing their powers because it's my belief that temp V while it gives them powers its not their full capability of powers because it's temporary..... and the biggest twist will be soldier boy will kidnapp ryan and temporarily take homelanders power and I could see a senerio where homelander has to team up with the the boys next season to save his son Ryan. Butcher will get a second chance to get things right with a potential child with Maeve and their child soldier Boy is going to turn out to be a bigger monster than homelander and they will need to come together to protect those they all care about because i believe they are giving soldierboy homelanders storyline from the comics of him forming a legion of dangerous viilians ...... again this is all speculation..... don't get mad at me if I'm correct lol

this is dope I’m glad you make these even though they might get taken down

Such a great show. Thanks for covering it so well!

Here's one of my theories. At the beginning of this season when Hughie went to the orphanage of supe children, the little boy that teleported to Hughie & pointed at the TV. that is Stillwell son. Which got me to thinking that maybe Temp V is made from the DNA of super children, which is why it's effects are temporary. Maybe the batch that Hughie is using was made from the DNA of that little boy (Stillwell's Son).

BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder. The show was talking about bipolar mood disorder.

Only one episode left 😢 😢. I can't get enough of this amazingly entertaining show. I wish it had an infinite number of episodes. The seven going up against whatever super villains are out there and of course I can watch Homelander all day cause his character is beyond captivating. It definitely looks like Frenchie will be able to knock soldier boy out with the gas but how will they kill him once he's unconscious? I'm sure episode 8 will have a surprising twist and be awesome but it's going to suck having to wait for season 4. I really want to see Homelander being much more powerful than everyone else and how near impossible it will be to take him down.

In the comics, Stormfront's (male version) DNA was used to make Homelander. It could very well be the case that she's Homelander's mom on the show

Fun fact: MM lives in apartment 42 which is the number Jackie Robinson wore

So, I think Victoria and Sam Edgar planned the whole thing, her flipping on Sam. I think they are trying to make singer president with her as vp, have his head pop, and then have her take the reins as president, and then like in the comics, somehow place all thr blame for all the vought fuck ups on Ashley and reinstate edgar

Theories though, is that Butcher sacrifices himself by overinjection of compound V to kill either Soldier Boy or Homelander. He wouldn't let his brother nor Hughie see him weak in the face of adversity, so he'll take it all on. Whether he lives or dies, who knows. But I know he will protect Hughie after Mindstorm's nightmare. He can't lose another brother.

Dude your breakdowns of the boys are the best out there. First time I've caught it. Great work.

I hope soldier boy doesn't die, he's my favourite character after kimiko.

I feel like it’s going to be a battle between SB’s ego and Homelander’s struggle with his human side. I think they’ll both want to be father and son but their weaknesses will prevent this…I hope because I like SB and want him to stay “neutral”.

I’m so obsessed with this show and can’t wait for the next season

You are awesome bro! Love your shit, and as much as others are the big time, first ppl sometimes to try and breakdown vids, I'm always with your swag and humor on everything. Don't ever change!

I like the spin on Black Noir vs the comic version. It'll be interesting to see his face. I'm imagining some kind of Frankenstein's monster patch job that led to his fractured mind/skull.

I'm assuming in the end they'll just end up taking the full compound to fight homelander.

I think this confirms that Homelander and Soldier Boy teaming up. Why would both Soldier Boy and Homelander be in the same place and yet seemingly there for a similar reason? Wouldn't they be fighting each other since that is what Soldier Boy promised Butch? It seems to me that they have no interest in that. I can also see Maeve dying here fighting Homelander just like in the comics, but in a more heroic way. It would be a good way for her to get back at him and redeem herself. If this is all being recorded, then her sacrifice could inspire people to go against Homelander and cause him to eventually turn against everyone and go ballistic.

Great video, thank you for giving a warning before showing the teaser trailer. Subscribed

awesome just odne watching the episode and find this and just now upload

can't wait for the finale, this show is so good, easy 10/10

I watched it all the first time and I'll watch it again

very good video. great script and a lot of attention to detail!

The whole Solider Boy not really being a war hero reminds me of Ronald Regan. People touted him as being a great veteran but he really spent most of his time in California making army training films.

A little detail that is confusing and bothering me and doesn't seem to be random Soldier boy keeps hearing voices in the woods, this is the first time it happens to him since he showed up, and there is no way it's just a coincidence that Mindstorm told Hughie that he has to get away from the voices. what do you think ! EDIT: it's also probably the reason why there are so many metal pieces hanging out of Mindstorm's house making noise so he doesn't hear them voices.

It may not have been as utterly incredible as Herogasm, but ep8 was still great. That last scene of Soldier Boy telling Homelander he's his son is such a great reversal of the latter saying that to his son at the end of season 1 and had me screaming.

Solid breakdown of the episode and fun theories to ponder all within 23 minutes, noice. The only thing i can complain about and it's not this video, rather, it's the realization that season three is almost over and the wait for the next season begins all too soon.

Excellent Commentary!!! Thank You 😊

The last scene where Butcher asked Hughie to ask for more Temp V was logical. Remember, last time he left Leny, the latter died(suicide). I believe Butcher was paranoid that when he let Hughie go his separate way, he might die. So, the choice Butcher made was very logical, for him.

Shit I think you may be onto something about Stormfront/Liberty being Homelander's mother, especially thinking about some of the things she said to him in the first two episodes and her suicide...

Good analysis

Small note. Bpd isn't actually the standard abbreviation of bipolar disorder. Bpd is normally used to refer to borderline personality disorder. It doesn't change anything about the video or the rest of your correct info just a small correction for anyone in the future who may hear BPD crop up

I thought the constant "what did you say?" from Solider Boy was a result of Mindstorm sending thoughts to his head. Didn't catch on to the fact that being high did that to him

It would be funny if Soldier Boy was just bullshitting Homelander so he could lure him back to him, Butcher and Hughie.

Best breakdown I’ve watched on this episode yet.

Good job at making this video dude and nice video Think Story :)

Even more rabbit hole theory re Stormfront and Soldierboy is the fact that these two are the only two supes who don't age. Could be that Soldierboy is Stormfront's son as well as Homelander's dad - some pretty heavy inbreeding would further compound Homelander's insanity. Also trying to work out how to make someone an immortal would definitely be in Vaught's MO and explain why Homelander is truly "bad product".

This was probably one of the best filmed episodes. Seeing butchers backstory and how he slowly became his own father shown by the camera angles of him beating down gunpowder and others the same way his own father beat him. Then the same angle is shown AGAIN with soldier boy attacking mindstorm, cementing that he’s become the thing he hates (a monster supe) by using temp V.

That Black Nior's cartoon flashback was genius & beautiful....

Subscribed!

I'd like to see butcher take what he thinks is his last bit of v24 b4 it kills him then when on it he injects the real V into his arm and his eyes turn green and it heals his brain and then turns butcher into a hulk.

Small correction: BPD refers to BORDERLINE personality disorder. We usually say BP to refer to bipolar.

Thanks for the warning

This episode was huge on Butcher and Black noir backstory and I like it.

The boys just doesnt hold back!!! Every episode is top tier!!! This is gonna push MM to shot that Temp V up!!! Butcher vs homelander and MM vs soldier boy And everybody else is gonna be of support. Superfucking hype!

As Homelander and Vought knew Starlight was and would break in, I think the message about people dying taking Temp V was planted. After all, Homelander was almost equalled by Temp V opponents. However, why not taint the product so that Butch and crew would poison themselves....? Oooh, love this show!!

GREAT breakdown man... My Brothers-Inlaw got me hooked on this Show and your breakdowns are the best! When are you gonna break down OZARK?!! Another Great series that blew my mind

I love how the Boys solves the problem with scale of power. Instead of bringing Homelander down, Butcher and co rise to his strength. Unlike how Superman's adversaries usually act, which is try and disable him before the third act. Also the stronger the heroes get, the more true to life fight sequences look. They exert immense power compared to mere mortals, however they look like they are having a fistfight if they're equals in strength. And it feels right. When Superman faces Zod and co, the focus is on collateral damage and the fight sequences, especially the ones in air simply feel unsatisfying. I don't know, just my two cents.

Yes, Wendy's restaurants in the USA, sometimes also looked like that.

My theories about the finale: Homelander and SB teamed up will be so strong. My theory is Homelander will kill soldierboy because that what homelander would do he would be jealous because SB defeated him, or MM and Franchie will weaken him and MM will kill him avenging his family. Possibly Black noir can also do it because his character arc is building towards the standing up for himself. I'm worried that he will die in this fight, but the show likes keeping Alive Main members of the Seven. I know that's some obvious theories but Homelander is already confirmed in S4. I think in the fight against homelander and SB all boys and the Seven (Black noir, a-train meeve and Amy) will join which will lead to homelander finally losing his mind. I'm not sure if Ryan will join the fight maybe they will save him for next seasons. Either way without fans, and without family (SBwill die and Stormfront his mother is also dead) Homie will lose his mind and will start a supes uprising like in the comics. Or maybe they will do something else. I think A-train is close to leaving the Seven because Ashley and everyone are treating him badly. He changed and I think he has enought of Vought. Because they are Liars just like homelander.

You got this video out QUICK! OMG - dude how?!?

Soldier boy still might not be homelanders father and is instead attempting to lure him in to either kill for himself to retake the most powerful supe rank or to honour his end of the deal with hughie and butcher even if reluctant

Also, like I said about shrapnel, we have no idea that Soldier Boy really did destroy Black Noir's head. Black Noir is handicapped, his brain is sliced in two. So whereas I believe he can still remember the beating at the beginning of his inception, I feel like when it happened could be due to shell-shock. Cause even Soldier Boy didn't figure that Black Noir gave him up to the Russians until Mindstorm.

I think Hughie will mercy kill A Train. Earlier this season Hughie accidentally tore some guys heart out. I could see him doing this for Atrain

They revealed that Soldier Boy real name is Ben. It's reference to the show Dark Angel season 1 where Jensen Ackles played one of Super soldiers created by Manticore.

Every episode gives me enjoyable heart palpitations I’ve never felt anything like it love it

I guess that explains why Soldier Boy and Homelander didn't bang like in the comics

Also, Black Noir was the black sheep of Payback because he was black. Hence Edgar telling him to keep his mask on unless he wants to be transferred to a more racist town. He's quiet and reserved because he had his temporal lobe slashed by shrapnel, which leads him to being unable to speak.

Hey @Think Story , 8:48 flash dance is a movie produced by Don Simpson . Who black noir met with for Beverly Hills cop audition

Great video as always and yeah us Americans have the curved window Wendy's as well lol
