The Boys | Season Review 

Also when he gets violated by that girl. He sure got what he deserved!

Danilego I had to look away!

The part where he got gill-raped almost made me puke. That scene was very uncomfortable.

Lord Vulcan I’ve only seen the first 2 episodes of the show and really hope this isn’t true lol

Enzo Cittadino i would suggest not reading comments, or watching spoiler reviews

Påøø

Øøåøåøøø

No such thing as being oversaturated by superhero stuff.

I would add The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and Good Omens to that list. Yeah, 2019 has been a great year for TV (Game of Thrones not withstanding)

Netflix Dark Season 2!

Right? Although I've seen worse.

Philly B OMFG!! Was Mesmer that kid from 6th Sense?!? I thought he looked familiar!

@@LordKlektar yup.

@@LordKlektar He's basically playing himself in the show :P

@@LordKlektar He actually looks like he's lost a little bit of weight since his recurring character in Silicon Valley a season or two ago. He even had much longer hair then. But yeah he's looked this way for awhile, was even part of Kevin Smith's "Tusk".

For me, I thought a mix of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chris Pine

My friend said he was mix of bateman and pine

For me he looks like Antony starr

Nah bradley cooper and will arnett

Go see Anthony Starr play the lead in Banshee

The rape scene was gross

Fairly Literary it was supposed to be though.

Funny bc I think right after the deep gill scene was the Butcher vs Mesmer murder and that was the scene my dad and I couldnt handle lol

I thought the character development was good but the comic stuff was a bit silly at times. Talking to lobsters? Seriously?

I also found parts with Deep and A-Train, Queen May personally really good. These actually made them characters not just som "bad guys". Well they showed that even these bad sups are well humans.

A E that show is absolutely fantastic!

Damnit that show is awesome!

Yeah, obviously if they are given the powers as babies they're in no position to choose anyway - and if parents chose they'd all want the Superman powers. I mean, who would actually choose for their power to be talking to Lobsters?

This would have been great!!

Hes not that much different. He said nothing and did barely anything. When he found frenchy in that ally, i totally thought he was going to put his thumb in his ass lol.

its an easy 10. name one flaw i dare you

@@Blackhawk211 Not enough screen time for Black Noir, hat's about the only thing potential flaw haha A tad too much screen time for The Deep and a tad too little for Noir. And even then, I still say it was the perfect amount because he's like Boba Fett now and the moments he did see him were bad ass/funny as shit. "Not you Noir, you've been great."

@@ericeast7860 there is a very specific reason for not seeing much noir.... you will see, you will see. Lets just say he is one of the biggest and most unexpected twists in recent history

@@Blackhawk211 Heard the writes weren't really going to follow the comics on that, read it in a comment on another vid

Dragons?

Any wildlings?

Yeah plus she looked fucked up when she stepped out of that office. I think homelander was just lying

@@alexarias5717 But thing is if it's legit he raped her, I'm not sure ultimately that paints her character too well overall. Because then she seems to so quickly completely cut her own husband entirely out of her life, without another word? Hell even plenty of the people in our society who are more pro-life, they agree with exceptions for rape. Not saying that she HAD to do that of course, but it would've been more than understandable. It's always a devastating concept, a married woman being assaulted by another guy but then never bothering to report it, but THIS was a mega-extreme kinda decision to pull. I could see Butcher being a mixture of mad and disappointed at her.

She was pregnant.

She didn't immediately go to the park. When you chest on your husband and find out you are pregnant with a superhero's baby.. I'd say yeah, you might go sit somewhere in silence for hours..

You dont say "no" to homelander. I doubt she wanted it but, like everyone else, shes scared of him.

Don't know if you know this but he's the son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan

He's absolutely fantastic in banshee too!

The way the show has gone already means that we can't get the original Black Noir story. That seems odd to be, given how important it was.

Given the aeroplane and the rape storylines it seems clear that they're not going to use the same storyline for Black Noir as the source material. Which is a shame because that is some deep shit. It's also rather curious considering it's really the basis for everything that happens - the killing of Robin is just our entry point in the story. So they'd better have something pretty good up their sleeves for Noir - I shall be hugely disappointed if he is merely reduced to a running joke of the one who never talks.

@@noneofyourbeeswax01 theres still time for them to work in black noir s reveal i think. I think his purpose his still the same as in the comics, but hes just not been trying to speed it up by framing homelander for awefull shit. But i do agree that changing beckas rape and death changes things in a big way. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I was laughing. His little journey is hilarious. Though i dont know why he lets that chick finger fuck his gills? And i dont know why she would think he would find getting jabbed in his fish lungs erotic?

Eh... I'd agree we're mostly meant to be laughing at him, but only up to a point. I mean, the way that gill-rape scene was written, acted and shot made the whole thing seem just as disturbing as when he assaulted Starlight in the first episode (and I mean that even just ignoring the inherent body horror; a scene of a female sexually assaulting a male is normally played for laughs or at least not being as bad as the other way around - both those scenes would have still been disturbing if the genders were flipped). The Deep's been a pretty pathetic character (and that was entirely intentional) throughout the entire series - he's bullied by the rest of the Seven, he's well aware that his own superpowers are weak at best and downright useless at worst, he's actively forbidden to do anything that *he* wants to be able to do to actually help (and every time he tries, he fails pretty spectacularly), it's implied he's the most prone to objectification, and no one really hesitates to kick him out as soon as they're given an excuse to do so, and then once he is kicked out he's sent somewhere where he is essentially completely useless. By the end of the series (after said gill-rape scene and certainly by the end of his breakdown), I don't think we're meant to still be thinking of it in terms of "oh he's just getting what he deserves" and more that what's happened to him is horrifying in its own right. In a way, they've already used his character to touch on satirising another aspect of the "celebrity culture" they've got going on with the Seven: that ordinary people feel as though they have some kind of ownership over them and don't really care about them or, in extreme cases, even see them as being real people with thoughts and feelings, and personally I think that's an angle I'd love for them to keep exploring and using his character to do that makes a lot of sense. It's difficult because the creators have also got to navigate the fact that if they give him a redemption arc of any kind, a significant portion of people will inevitably get up in arms that a character whose entire introduction essentially consisted of embodying one of the most red-button issues of the day will be being made too sympathetic and therefore will be sweeping said red-button issue under the carpet, but I do think he already stopped being someone the viewers should actively want to see bad things happen to. Full-on redemption/sympathy arc or not, I betting he's still going to be much more of a neutral character from here on out.

The aeroplene event and the Rebecca rape have been played out in such a way that makes it impossible for the Black Noir from the comic books to have the same story or indeed the same importance. In the comics his secrets are revelatory and explosive, but they have already been ruled out by the way the show has gone so far..

@@noneofyourbeeswax01 not necessarily. They could change thr arc, but it still might land in the same spot. The means to get there might be changing, but homelander is surely going to get out of control at some point and thats ultimately the point of black noir.

@@kreiyu Yeah I've had a rethink and while of course it can't play out the same they can get to a similar conclusion - and on further reflection something the boss woman said seems to be a big clue as to where they're going.. I'm still kinda sad that Homelander is pretty much what we see and he'll never have that moment when he realises he's acted out his life based on an horrific deception.

@@noneofyourbeeswax01 oh i hear you. He's definitely lost complexity and any hope of sympathy at the moment. I did have a theory though. Homlander admited to sleeping with becka. But do we know that was homlander in that video billy saw? Hmm? Lol just a playfull thought, but i think it could make an interesting twist.

@@noneofyourbeeswax01 i found video that talks about this exact subject lol. The comment section is a decent place to toss around ideas of what they might do with black noir. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MVNKPD4_Bm4.html

When I saw the ads I genuinely thought it was Zack Morris.... sidenote... Zack Morris is traaaaassh

I thought it was him for a hot minute

It's bizarro Zack Morris!

Zack Morris is trash lol

Agreed it is fantastic!

Blew your mind didnt it? Lol.
