HL wanted so badly for him and SB to be a family that he would have let SB kill him. That is why SB called him weak, not because of his physical strength, but because of his desperation for love

I believe him when he says he’s not a bad guy. He truly believes he’s the good guy of the story where as butcher and Homelander know exactly where they stand at the end of season 3. Soldier boy needs to come back.

I believe him too. While being ruthless and merciless he still obeys to some values. He killed MMs family by accident when actually fighting crime(this doesn't excuse him, just shows us that he is not racist prick abusing his power and going out of his way to prey on blacks). I would love to have some flashbacks showing us that he actually DID fight during wars and has PTSD not only from russian torturing him but also from withstanding focused gunfire, tank shots and artillery hits while leading his men into battlefield against Nazis.

He bullied the other supes to toughen them up. He had a reason for doing it. Soldier boy isn’t the bad guy, he has his demons for sure, but he doesn’t go out of his way to kill innocents. The people he killed all wronged him in some way. And he mercy killed the priest and nun because he said they were programmed permanently to fulfill their mission and their minds only exist for that purpose now. (Which I believe) And then you can tell he was programmed by the Russians to blast when certain music was playing… So, he is redeemable.

[@tomessom9690]

personally i think the subtlty of the whole plot line works better tbh, Noir is a very understated character so a full blown shouting match would feel very out of character. plus im betting on them bringing him back for season 4 in a way similar to deadpool in xmen origins, given that we dont see what happens to his body and other characters in the show have survived arguably worse

True, everyone either wanted to use him or saw him as a trouble, as Grace said, girls either humoured him or scared of him But consider how he talked (motel scene with hughie, bar scene with butcher), most of the time he was the only one talking, and refuse to respond / answer, also the conversation always ended-up expressing anger, self-pity or grief... made him hardly a likable person Even though I find him pretty funny but this man carried so much pain, I understand him refused to communicate part of reason why is to not leash out the tremendous pain But you always need to find a suitable person to talk Like typical guy, fuck everyone never understand me, fuck them, do not care my feelings my need Better learn from his mistake

[@white0thunderwhite0thunder71]

Because in their minds he was nothing but a fake; nothing about him was real except the pain and fear he spread around him, even to his own teammates. They saw him as a hypocrite and therefore everything he said, no matter how honest, was hypocritical and selfish. How can you prove to be honest to others when you are not even honest with yourself?

[@djsosonut]

Though I did enjoy Soldier Boy, Homelander was still a beast. My eyes were always on him when he was on screen. Never swayed a moment. Jensen can really sell a fight, but I could rewatch Anthony's expression for hours. Every little twitch of his face tells another story and sells another emotion.

[@docproc144]

In the end Soldier Boy was one of the only truly honest and transparent characters. He never hid his intentions, he stayed true to his word and honored the deal he and Butcher made, only to end up getting betrayed. He doesn’t seem like all that bad a guy, and once he opened up about his father you understood him more. He even went as far as to tell Homelander that he was just like him, weak and a disappointment, and that he wished he could’ve raised him to be better than he was. He admitted that most of his accomplishments and feats surrounding his legend were just lies cooked up by Vought’s marketing. I think Soldier Boy is kind of like how we viewed Butcher in Season 1, may seem scummy on the outside, but deep down are not actually bad people, just misunderstood. He carried this season, most entertaining character by far. Hope they bring him back.

Meanwhile you have other supes like A-Train murdering people, the Deep harassing women in terrible ways, and homelander being homelander. Even the whole thing with SB being racist never stuck because he defended middle eastern people and said he admired Bill Cosby and shared drinks with him. At no point in the show did we ever see Soldier Boy mistreat anyone other than from Black Noir's flash back. We saw him hit Hughie and Ryan, but it never escalated to anything that would be considered excessive or abuse. If anything, Soldier Boy stood out as a character who escaped 40 years of torture from the Russians and wanted answers and revenge, all while suffering from PTSD and adjusting to modern times. As far as we know that flashback from Noir could have been the only time, he done something like that. It's not like with homelander where he's a ticking time bomb that could lose it at any moment.

[@Cyberbro665]

Soldier Boy is essentially a anti villain "An anti-villain is a character who has heroic personality traits or goals but is ultimately the bad guy in this story. For example, an anti-villain may have noble goals, but their means to attain that goal are evil." I would say he's a "Lawful Evil" type, he keeps his word regardless of morality and the organizations/factions he's worked for are morally bankrupt. If Starlight recruited Soldier Boy under a deal not to kill Homelander but just defeat him then Soldier Boy would have honored the deal.

@@luisfernandosantosn Nah, Killmonger wasn't a Anti Villain. The man was just a regular Villain. His whole thing was flawed. His Goals and Motivation was evil. He didn't want "freedom" and equality for black People, he wanted black people to become the new Opressor. So his Goals were shit. Just like Magneto. He lost his Family to the Nazi Regime and his Grand Plan basically was him becoming the second coming of Hitler with his talks about Mutants being the "Master Race". Both Killmonger and Magneto got truly wronged in their Past, but their Solution was to literally become what they hated the Most.

That's not what being a hero is ffs !

I'm not 100% sure if this is just rp like a bunch of The boys fans often to do but this seemed a bit too real, and mate if you really think that's what makes a hero and see soldier boy as one. _You need some help_

[@imwatchingy0utube388]

He better make a comeback in season 4

[@francargeric1]

There is a reason they didnt kill him (plot wise) and with the popularity of Jensen Ackles's performance, I think he will.

This video got me chills No joke

Most interesting character and a true badass up there with homelander and Maeve for me

Anyone else keep coming back to watch it again?

This is the best boys edit ive ever seen. Amazing job daddy

[@zasejsemspalenej]

I dont think soldier boy enjoys inflicting pain, he just doesnt care. Homelander enjoys it, hell, he fucking loves it.

[@kingsleyagyemang8719]

Sir, I salute you. This is some incredible editing! 👌

[@Machina3123]

They could have portrayed him better, i.e.: a real soldier betrayed by his teammates instead or a team leader who was so obsessed with making his team stronger to the tyranical point. These will make his redemption storyline better.

[@francargeric1]

But the whole point of the show is that anyone who is that powerful will be corrupted, him being good kind of misses that very central point of the show. Specially when you are by far the strongest being alive.

[@Machina3123]

@@francargeric1 he will not be entirely morally good person. He will have flaws but redemmable ones,. Thus, it could serve as lessons for those who have committed wrongdoings. I don't know, may be I have a dull or boring point of view, but I believe that TV shows should have some educational values, even ultra-violent ones.

He was a bad man from episode 1. He killed MM's grandfather. He killed many civilians.

@@YurinanAcquiline It's not like he saw MM's grandfather through the window and went "I'm gonna kill that guy" Also, name one war that did not involve killing. Name one.

They betrayed him because He Was gonna kill HL And Ryan Yes he was an asshole but Hes the only person who can stand a chance at HL The Boys Made A Very Bad Decision At the end of The Episode and it was betraying Their Trump Card I would rather Save Billions Of Lives Than Save A kid Whose not Even Yours and Starlight Was Dumb Super hero If she was A Good Super Hero she would know that Killing HL is Way More Important than saving Ryan And the boys Should Know that Too But Nope They decided to team up on SB and Fuck Their only chance of saving Millions Of People From HL They could have kill HL But Instead of killing HL They decided to ignore him and They could have take care of SB After killing HL Using The Gas What a Bunch of Dumbass

[@adamsourrakh5333]

Butcher was dumb for turning up against him at the end !!! he could've easily convince soldier boy not to kill his grandson, and homelander would've dead

[@christianmathisenjr1800]

Epic tribute. Epic music choice and good, quality editing. Keep up the good, hard work.

[@thegloriousryan8981]

I think soldier boy is such a poetic depiction of toxic masculinity taken to an extreme. A lot of his beliefs are from his time, leading to a lot of conformity to exactly what men and women should be, and he is incredibly egotistical. But the best part is how he deals with trauma. He has a line where he says "You wanna know what I do when I'm hurt or sad? Fucking nothing." In reality, all he does is bottle up his emotions, until they LITERALLY explode and hurt the people around him. On top of that, he has a partially complete and realistic arc with homelander. He sees in homelander his old self, and realizes all of the shit he did and why people hated him so much. Hence why when homelander says "Weak? I'm you." he replies "I know, your a fucking disappointment." And in the end, he isn't perfect. He arguably isn't even a good person. He's just grown from what he used to be. And that is so hard to pull off.

[@haryoolule5690]

The video on repeat

[@billybatts8283]

The real hero of the show.

[@fortheloveofgodlaugh2981]

Soldier Boy is the perfect satire of Captain America, and toxic masculinity. Captured and tortured for 40 years, and betrayed by everyone he knew, whereas Steve nobly sacrificed himself for the greater good. Soldier Boy is an angry, egotistical sociopath with no regard for the people around him. He's not sadistic like Homelander who sees everyone else as weak for not having power. He sees Homelander like the weakling he is not because he bullies everyone, but because he cries and longs for a mommy and daddy and the approval for everyone around him. Soldier Boy does not give a single fuck what anybody thinks of him.

[@kingston4313]

I like how when you obtain unlimited power, unchecked, unmonitored that it corrupts you. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Not everyone is Steve rogers.

[@valerievaysman3993]

Eh i feel like it corrupted Steve to some extent too tho

Steve Rogers' character was a fictional one and although it looks and feels good to see a character like him, irl, such characters do not exist.

[@frizzy529]

@@valerievaysman3993 corrupted him in what way ? I’m curious ?

[@valerievaysman3993]

@@frizzy529 Some might argue thay his righteousness was a very good quality because the government is corrupt however i think at some point you have to admit that having no authority over people with superpowers is not the best idea. Steve's problem was that with time he came to conclusion that only he knows best and no one should be able to tell him what to do. Sure it came from willingness to protect people but you can't just say "fuck the government and everyone else im gonna dp what i think is right". It's what vigilantes do but at least they admit that they are vigilantes, outlaws who shouldn't be worshipped while Steve thinks he can do no wrong.

Soldier Boy is the goat, idc what anyone says, I hope he's the one to take down Homelander, not Butcher.

[@Lorenzo12089]

One of the most badass and iconic characters in the show and people compare him to stormfront. Like fr both of them are leagues apart each other. Stormfront was a good character but as not as good SB and the reason she was killed off was because she had played her role to fullest, there was nothing more for that character to add in the series. After being exposed as nazi there was no way for her to fix her public image and vought would have dumped her sooner or later. However, I feel that we have barely scratched the surface with SB's character and if he returns in season 4, he's going to be completely unhinged because now the dude will trust no one and will try to kill everyone HL, The boys, ryan etc.

[@SirWeiWei99]

Would love to see soldier boy and Black noir teamed up in fourth season to kill homelander and the boys , of course that would require Black noir to have some guts .

[@yogafire646]

Soldier Boy and Homelander, two men born with all the tools and yet never could use them well.

The sad thing about Soldier boy is everytime his team would betray him even he wants to do the right thing

They need more soldier boy. He’s a product of his time and got betrayed by his own people and tortured for decades. Of course he’s going to go bad. Who wouldn’t. I’d like to see more of him beyond the whole ‘toxic masculinity’ shtick

[@Blackdeathgaming-yv1kk]

What I also really like about how his character was handled is that characters talk about him being an abusive monster and a shitty person but for the most part we don't actually see him be that. what we see is a man out of time who seems quite patriotic to what USA was like in his time and true to his word. My point is that we never see him be as bad as others say he is. The only moment that he seemed a real shithead is when he confronted homelander and Ryan but even then he was going to keep the deal with butcher so it is redeemable in a way.

[@white0thunderwhite0thunder71]

He was a product of the time he was raised in, if that was the angle they were going with anyway. Considering everything he went through I'd say he turned out rather well...

[@Rust324]

Soldier boy to me means “I tried my hardest, but I still gave in to *them* “ he tried to be a hero, but in a team of people like that and growing up in a company like that he became what he had too, a ruthless, merciless, horrifying, murderer, and he slowly embraced it, but he still thinks he’s the good guy, because to some degree he is….and he hates it when he’s thought of as the villian, because he thinks he’s not, and I believe him

Soldier boy kind of hates himself and I think in his short time in the present he realised that his "friends" all wanted him dead, his "love" hated his guts and his fans quickly forgot him like he never existed.

[@CedricBassman]

SB is unique among Supes. He is an asshole like most of them (let's be honest he's not even close to Homelander tho, who is insane at this point) but he is entirely self aware about it. He hates himself for it, which shows he has remorse for his actions that let him to that point. Now A-Train is basically on the same road to self awareness
