Reactors Reaction to SOLDIER BOY and PAYBACK | The Boys S03E03 "Barbary Coast"

[@Kenyin]

The actor who played young Stan Edgar nailed it

[@legobuyer03]

Loving Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, he just commands your attention when he’s on screen and such a complex character to pull off.

[@TheEndless935]

I was expecting people to be all like: OMG It’s Dean Winchester from Supernatural, Jensen Ackles

[@mlbbshorts3548]

yeah ikr

[@MastaToSch]

Did I see a different version of the episode? I distinctly remember Swatto being blown up further away in a giant fountain of blood and the guy Soldier Boy punched in the air actually "landing" in the background. The Normies seem to have the same. But the rest don't?

[@Cund]

The swatto thing yeah, I definitely noticed that with the first channel. I distinctively remember the missile sort of looping around and *then* hitting swatto

[@juanarredondo9763]

mandela effecto or different versions of the series for different streaming?

[@peterdavids31]

@@juanarredondo9763 Perhaps The Normies simply cut it out to avoid a copyright strike.

[@RichardStrong86]

There's definitely censored versions. 2:40 they even comment that they didn't get to see the person "land" / impaled.

[@Dracyl]

I think some are like censored versions maybe, someone used the kids version on amazon prime or whatever. But I was thinking the same thing. The guy Soldier Boy punches up in the air. In some version you can see that guy landing on spikes and on some you cant even see him land somewhere. Also the missle that kills swatto sometimes it just come from the right behind the tent, and sometimes it comes from the bottem making like a curve before it hits him, which is technically doesnt make sense unless it is like a heat seeking missle, I guess.

[@RichardStrong86]

I like the little touches of SB twitching when he's confronted by Grace Mallory. Like it's an unacceptable affront to him to be challenged.

[@blueeyedemon8]

Ok, wtf? Several of them did not have the guy landing, and the missile came from above the truck. But for a few you do see the guy land, and for one you see the missile curve from the ground on the other side of the truck. What the hell is going on?

[@RichardStrong86]

Are there censored versions for different territories?

[@blueeyedemon8]

@@RichardStrong86 its possible. But that doesn't explain why when the flying dude is missiles out of the sky. For most of them it comes form the right of their screen flying over the truck. But, 1 of the channels you see it leave the ground and curve all basically in the middle of the screen and instead of going over the truck just curves next to it.

[@alexxlopez5488]

There were a VFX fuck up in the first chunk of episodes. It got fixed days after. Amazon never addressed it for some reason. Reddit and Twitter noticed it.

[@skybite]

This actually happened when I watched it on an old tv through Apple tv

[@Lumantrix]

Yes I noticed it also

[@michealbond2893]

Soldier Boy was the only competent fighter there.

[@johndanes2294]

Because he fought in WW2. The Captain America expy. He's probably one of the few supes that's actually trained to fight in a war.

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

He’s like captain America with (pre iron man) Tony stark personality.

[@erickruckenberg8716]

Love how they keep beating it in that pretty much every supe is completely incompetent without any training whatsoever. The only ones to do anything right were Noir and Soldier Boy. This is why the pharmaceutical company should’ve done more with all that government funding.

[@quinnmartensbobbitt3704]

They started funding combat training in the years following, but supes were taught to be celebrities instead of heroes, much like girls that are raised for pageantry and fame. They were given no harsh lessons, never taught to be better. All because the people who "raised" them were utterly terrified of what they could do with their powers. No one gave them love or compassion. So they all ended up as addicts, murderers, antagonistic preachers and egotistical jerks with god complexes. Giving them training later on made them worse, because then they presented an actual threat. Maeve for instance- if she ever switched to Homelander's side in full, she'd be one of the deadliest people on the planet. As it is, she's one of the five strongest (physically) heroes we've seen so far, and she actually spars and trains with her sword.

[@benjaminosterloh3605]

Kudos to the TNT Twins for at least being self-aware that they were useless in a real fight and to Soldier Boy for having the skills to back up the name

[@Enter_Zoneless]

I noticed two versions of this ep. one is where the rocket curves into swatto and one linearly flies towards him. Soldier boys last kill is also censored for some but others aren’t. Were there 2 releases of this episode on different streaming platforms?

[@skybite]

It happened on my old tv though Apple TV

[@Lumantrix]

Yes

[@jatilq]

Wonder if this was a play on The Suicide Squad scene.

[@supernatural_loverwinchest2958]

I love Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy so much.

[@tabulldog2743]

Why was Nikki and Stevens attack scene different than everyone else’s?

[@FiveofEyes]

The rocket that hits payback seems to come from different directions

[@TUCHENZ]

censored versions from different countries that dont allow gore

[@kingofthelivingdead42069]

@@TUCHENZ the entire show is focused mainly on that tho

[@Lumantrix]

VFX team went back and fixed it

[@ummumunshi8825]

850th like mine!

[@baturalp_kalkan9344]

look 04:00 and 06:30 is that cencored ?

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Awesome

[@maxwellcherrypost9502]

Can you do a reaction compilation for the last scene with Ryan and Homelander killing in the finale? :)

[@TheWhiteWolf6911]

Is it just me or does the angle of the rocket that kills Swatto change throughout each video? Like some of the rockets curve and some are straight shots?

[@kunalgupta2973]

Yeah it does for some

[@Lumantrix]

Yes

[@KRATOS12787]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Are there 2 versions???

[@cowmoo5596]

Pretty sure yeah

Yes VFX teams changed some things
