When Queen Maeve shows up to join the fight against Stormfront, I literally throw my fists in the air every time. Always gets me. Ya'll are gonna flip for Season 3!

Karl Urban's performance when Becca dies is just outstanding!

[@pabloarielcorderovillacort2149]

He did a similar thing being Eomer, when he found his sister Eowyn in Lord of the Ring

[@cctomcat321]

That look of pure grief and rage... Heavy acting without saying a word.

[@John_Locke_108]

He was totally going for Ryan with the crowbar until Homelander showed up and he snapped back to his senses.

[@siamagangte]

Yeah, Butcher screaming for help, that was hard to watch

[@edgarcia4794]

The curb stomping brought to us by Starlight, Maeve and Kimiko was so nifty.

[@marissanorth85]

It was perfect 😂

I love how much everyone enjoyed that moment. haha

[@isabellawatson4789]

The reveal of Victoria being the supe was so shocking to me when I first watched it! And so excited for y’all to watch season three because even though you think that there would be no way it can get any better, it does

[@Dark__Thoughts]

Yeah. She comes off at first like some AOC type character. And they already did a similar ruse with Stormfront in the beginning of this season.

[@tink6225]

I was like wow this diva is the one exploring heads??

[@billbill6094]

Like how the guys got so tense for the finale they forgot Kimiko could heal. The shot of Butcher walking past Homelamder with Ryan, not a fear in the world, man it's so good.

[@paratus04]

Fun Easter egg. During the little Stormfront Nazi meme the car that runs her over is the Chevy Impala from Supernatural.

[@samdominguez9769]

Edgar's Fresca line makes me bust out laughing every time.

[@suzannemarie7313]

I don't think Ryan killed Becca directly. She wasn't burned. Stormfront's hand was around Becca's throat. I think she ripped Becca's throat open when Ryan hit her with the beam.

[@benjaminandrew9057]

Yep this was my thought too.

[@NeonVex]

Yeah this is how i always figured it went down.

[@patrickhill8494]

I figured that's what happened, but I don't know why I've never seen reactors say it

[@loganetter5640]

That makes a lot more sense but whenever homelander lasers someone (except for the daydream where he killed the people in the crowd) they never add burn SFX. Ultimately, explaining exactly what happened isn’t necessary to the plot but it’s fun to think about

[@dariusthegr8one81]

Nah I’m pretty sure she got a lil piece of heat vision. That’s why she kept telling butcher it’s not his fault. Why Ryan was crying like that too.

[@strangerthings88]

Homelander was using full power on Stormfront especially after she told him too. The point they made with Ryan was to show he IS stronger than his dad.

[@brycebirkinbine4119]

17:05 I love how even Homelander is all like “Bitch what the fuck you mean?”

[@MasonAttano]

"People LOVE what I have to say... they just don't like the word 'N@zi'". My absolute favorite moment in the show, and super underrated. Stormfront isn't just "a bad guy", she's a stand-in for so many people in real life. N@ziism is alive and well, it just takes on new forms, with memes and new terms and an edgy attitude, just like her.

If you rewatch the scene of everyone's heads exploding at the Congress hearing, you will notice that every time it happened, Victoria Neuman was looking directly at the person.

[@Mike90317]

[@dilthepickle5346]

I heard they didn’t tell the actress of her superpowers until they got to filming the reveal

[@Dark__Thoughts]

@@Mike90317 That's what I noticed immediately after seeing that scene again.

[@katemoon1594]

That young actor did a phenomenal job performing such an emotional & tragic scene. I was so impressed with him (Ryan) all season. They are very lucky to have such a talent for this role. 👏

[@KSDVLmom]

The amount of emotion just in those 5 minutes of Becca's death messes me up . The cheering for Ryan taking control and what he did to storm front, then right into the crying for him being for forgiveness, right into the rage and loss brilliantly played on Karl urbans face, right into being pissed Homelander died up, right into cheering for Maeve, then right back into crying when you see Ryan choose BIlly.. my goodness... You need a break after that

[@Rabbity_777]

Antony Starr and Carl Urban 10 of 10 acting every episode it even hurts how good they are! I can't wait to see you watching next season what somehow will be even crazier than this one also I must mention not only actors but you as well because you three are most enjoyable and entertaining reactors I have ever seen ❤️

[@azazello1784]

How could it hurt? It makes no sense

[@TedSifu]

@@azazello1784for me it hurts by them not getting casted in any big roles in big movies

[@aarons1705]

I still have to say the scene between HL and Ryan are one of my favorits because the f*cked out thing is,HL is actually trying to be a good dad but because of all the trauma of his childhood he is incapable of doing it the right way, which is just extremly sad and tragic.

[@vegasviking86]

Once you're told it's Victoria doing the head popping, go back and watch the court scene

[@orgazmo69ner]

The whole reason for homelander being nice to Ryan for freaking out is the fact that homeland understands what he's going through for freaking out with people

[@jobinmcgooch]

William Butcher is the absolute fucking best! As usual he is amazing in this episode. Him yelling for help gets me every time. Both the acting of Anthony Starr and Karl Urban were tremendous. Can’t wait for y’all to get to Season 3 🤘🏽

[@Sub2GigaChad]

Nah man that crowbar was meant for Ryan.

Its really cool how a lot of alternate universe sci-fi branches from WWII like it does in The Boys like the Fallout universe, Captain America, Cyberpunk universe, etc. Really makes you feel like every universe is possible had things gone slightly differently.

[@erikjohnson3859]

Just some context, Ryan did NOT hit Becca. Stormfront had her hand around Becca's neck and when Ryan blasted her, her hand clamped down on Becca's neck and she was thrown back.

[@JHolland]

Facts , she woulda also been disintegrated lol

[@michaelhinton2805]

She still died sooooooooo context unnecessary

[@erikjohnson3859]

@@michaelhinton2805 What kind of comment is that? Of course the context is necessary. He didn't lose control, he didn't need better aim, and he is not to blame. The moment Stormfront put her hands around Becca's neck it was over for Becca, so he is not to blame. That's all context.

[@thegamingdutchman2280]

@11:05 "That's a weird assumption" it actually isn't Speaking from experience, my mom walked out on us when I was 6 as well, and she even went through the trouble of getting in front of a judge to denounce us so she wouldn't have to pay alimony She came back into my life at 12 once, then left again, and once later when I was 18 and left again I genuinely have no idea right now if she's alive or dead, but since I have no actual proof that she's dead, I don't think that she is. If someone asks me about her I talk like she's alive. Hope this context helps :)

That scene where Homelander was doing you know what at the end actually is a deleted scene from season 1. When the storyline for this season unfolded they just decided to include it at the end because they thought it fit

[@devincarter8155]

If you guys are liking the writing this much I think you should really check out Eric Kripke's (the show runner of the boys) run of supernatural Its not as solid as the boys just because there is a lot more filler considering the age it was made in but I think its also really good. Seasons 1-5 are his. he left after that and you can really feel the quality dip after that but up to that point its really great

[@SlCKNESS_]

Supernatural is exceptional, but I doubt they'd be interested in such a long show, even if they only react to the first 5 seasons.

[@Josh86_559]

Idk if u guys know, but Anthony Starr is playing Dracula in the new "Blade" movie along with Mahershala Ali as Blade. They couldn't have done a better job on the casting

[@JHolland]

Took 3 to be effective against stormfront and Ryan lasers her one shot , it’s safe to assume Ryan’s lasers are stronger and thicker than homelander , but homelander hasn’t had to fully try lazer stormfront so I dunno . But Ryan’s fully too, out her whole body

[@danielruiz8259]

Main difference is: Homelander can control the intensity of his laser. Ryan went all out from the beginning.

This is legit my favorite series to watch with you guys. Cant wait for season 3 and 4!

[@SlCKNESS_]

You should 100% go back and watch the court room scene. It's a masterpiece in cinematography. All the shots either show or imply how people are in Victoria's line of sight when they blow up, but it's still subtle enough to not be noticeable, if you don't know. They do focus on Victoria in too many of the shots, which got me suspicious of her the first time I was watching it, but even then I didn't quite see all the angle that are very obvious on a re-watch.

[@jenloveshorror]

I've been waiting til sort of the right time to give u guys this lil tidbit from Kripke, the creator, & it's not a spoiler but just fun fact. So did u notice how when the leader of the collective said to the deep that they still don't have room for him in the 7. Well.. think bout that a min. It's a group called the 7 & that Kripke thought would be histarical that the only ep that they are team of 7 members full is ep 1. No other ep has 7 full members & he wants to literally try to get thru the entire show run never having actually 7 team members!!!! I haven't seen anyone bring that up yet, & that moment there clicked for me, like what do u mean there's no spot for him. Of course, there is if they are called the 7. That just shows even more insight to Kripke's crazy creative brain right?? I know u guys are now actually ahead of us a few eps & hope yall are surviving the wild world!! lol

[@shahrcasm1759]

Now watch the court scene again, and you'll see that she's looking at the people when their heads exploded.

Now that you finished season 2, 1 more season to go! I recommend watching Gen V right after, as while it isn't a direct continuation of Hughie/Kimiko/Starlight/MM/Butcher/Frenchie's story, the influences of season 3's happenings are the groundworks for what happen in season 1 of Gen V, and things that happen in Gen V will have influence on what happen in season 4 of The Boys :) (if that makes sense) It's an excellent spin-off show that I'm certain you'll enjoy

Glad to see you guys are still enjoying this show. Can’t wait to see your reactions to season 3. Just a heads up, though, season 4 won’t be out until early 2024 at the earliest. However, there is still a show connected to this one that is out now, or at least still being released weekly. It’s called Gen V, I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it before on previous reactions. It’s a spinoff type of show that takes place between seasons 3 and 4 of The Boys. I highly recommend watching it, especially since y’all seem to be enjoying The Boys. Might help fill the void before Season 4 starts, some time next year. Just a thought.
