Seeing Homelander out of costume was jarring. The fact that it was just every MCU character going off grid nondescript baseball cap and plain shirt/jacket is hilarious.

I really like the introduction of Sage. Homelander recruiting her is like a twisted version of Superman teaming up with his villains. Because Superman's two most well known villains are super geniuses who use their intellect to match Superman's strength, Lex Luthor and Brainiac. I love how The Boys makes use of these long running ideas from comic books and puts a twist on them.

[@NAMELESSHOSTAGE]

Like Superman teaming up with Lex? Thats messed up. Even on Crime Syndicate's Earth, Ultraman and Lex are opposite sides.

[@iamteazyn]

it reminded me more of a dark version of the scene in avengers civil war where Tony stark came to see Peter Parker at his apartment to recruit him to his team

When they were scrolling through the new candidates for The Seven, one Sage's ability was regeneration. I think she uses lobotomy to some parts of her brain to wind down after what happened at the Vaught tower. Maybe thats her way to tamper down her massive brain power for a little while.

She seemed drunk but there was no alcohol or weed anywhere

Watching trash tv, eating crap food, not to mention hooking up with Deep, yeah she's totally lobotomized. Interesting if she did that to herself, I would have thought homelander got tired of her disagreeing with him and did that himself. (He is that petty)

[@jamesglisson1421]

I think the Cesar reference is just to hint that homelander will be betrayed or (stab in the back) as he already is by Atrain.

[@phr3ui559]

@@metalface_villain Correct. I also want to point out that famous quote of him saying “ Et tu Brute” as he was stabbed by Marcus Junius Brutus who some historians claim might have actually been Julius Caesar’s (bastard, possibly) son. Fits with the idea that Ryan might actually be the one to kill Homelander.

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

Or by Sage herself

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

Homelander's civilian street wear disguise is the same one that Steve Rogers wore when he was helping Bucky in Captain America Civil War. Since Homelander is as much of a parody of Captain America as he is Superman, that's probably where the choice in clothing comes from.

I think there's a little more to Homelander's mirror scene. Last season he talked to only one reflection. This time he's even more unhinged so his personality has split further, too. Notice how the lower three reflections all portray different approaches to handle the situation while the one above is only grinning evil and when he speaks up at the end, he shuts the others down and tells Homelander what to do.

[@mzmendy]

There's a theory that the og formula of V causes long term effects the same way temp V is affecting butcher. That's why so many supes are off.

Could be why kimko has a conscience, even though nurture vs nature would dictate she shouldn't(like he brother) but she has a super healing power. Maeve as well. Which doesn't bode well for starlight cause she's invulnerable, not super healing.

Sister Sage is going to be the one to take down Homelander, because his true weakness is his ego, and she has the power to manipulate him.

Within a show where many characters have regenerative powers or simply previously unknown invulnerability (Victoria Neuman), it could certainly be both self-inflicted and temporary: Sage's version of getting high or drunk is just to get stupid, order unhealthy food, watch bad television and movies, and make poor hook-up choices.

[@random-person1]

what impresses me the most about screencrush is just how fast they can get a video up and out with only a few short hours with which to do it. most creators take a minimum of a week, some much longer. but here we are, its friday 14th 2024 and not only do they comment on ONE episode, but all three. im not just amazed at what these people do, im in awe at what they do with such limited time. screencrush is my goto source for most of the shows and films i watch and they do a fantastic job of hitting the ground running. so well done all those who work behind the scenes so that Ryan can do his bit on front of the camera. keep up the great work............

[@JamesBurnell]

True, but…KZbin channels that gain large followings (like ScreenCrush, Heavy Spoilers, and New Rockstars) often get special early access to the first couple episodes of a new season, because the studios know that the channels’ analysis videos lead followers to watch the shows, and rapid turn-around analysis videos helps hype the new seasons. As the season progresses, though, the analysis folks will have to wait for the new episode to drop just like the rest of us, so the commentary videos won’t appear until hours or days later. In fact, with all due respect to Paul, just about every time it seems like Paul from Heavy Spoilers gets his video out first, which tends to be heavy on plot summary and light on analysis. Then Ryan from ScreenCrush within a day or two, with a much better blend of less summary, more Easter eggs/analysis. Erik from New Rockstars is almost always last to the game…and as a result their videos often contain the most Easter eggs and analysis. But (and you’ll notice occasionally Ryan and Paul making veiled remarks about it) while ScreenCrush and Heavy Spoilers ALWAYS credit other sources when they find a good Easter egg or analysis point, New Rockstars tends to profit from waiting until everyone else puts out their videos so they can include the stuff other people found…but they never seem to give anyone else credit.

[@random-person1]

@JamesBurnell so what you're saying is that rockstars wait til all the relevant videos are out and then just cherrypick the best? That's not creating, it's copying! I didn't realise that the more popular commentators got to view the first releases ahead of others, but it makes sense. However, the screencrush videos, even if they are a few hours behind [heavy spoilers], their content is always top notch. It's impressive that they add people who comment on their other media and openly admit they missed whatever. And you don't have to wait to see the content either, at least if you call less than 24 hours too long? I mean, they went through all 4 (3 × the first 3 episodes) to find the relevant clips they needed. I would be interested as to how much longer they have the episodes for before they go on general release, but it's still far better to have an in-depth analysis break down, because everyone misses stuff, and we're all like "oh yeah......" when Ryan, or whoever points it out to us. And then, if I don't understand something, these guys are here to help. Anyway, thanks for replying, James, and for your insight into what goes on.

Im very much happy with what we’ve got so far. This show doesn’t disappoint imo.

[@noah9942.]

honestly, 95% of this arent easter eggs or even references. it's just pointing out the continuation of the show as the plot continues. Take out everything that isnt so painfully obvious that it doesnt need to be said by anyone, and you'd have a nice 5 minute video.

[@markmetz9167]

Best summary of anyone so far. Thanks!

It's also unclear whether butcher has the told the team about the virus if he hasn't that raise some serious questions.

[@Brenooomaniezo]

He will tell. It's in the trailer.

[@BastiaanOlij]

Regarding that final scene with Sage and the Deep, my theory is that Sage killed Ambrosius and that's the fried food they are eating. The bloody tool on the table is what she used to kill the Ambrosius.

[@MistakenWhatnot]

38:09 Sage shoved it in her ear/nose to make herself temporarily dumb to enjoy dumb things in a thoughtless way. She purposely HomerCrayoned herself

Fun fact: Homelander being in regular clothes is the first time EVER in the entire series

[@stifflas1012]

You didnt even mention the pink eye scene 😂😂 reminded me of the south park episode

[@kyresefleming983]

Everytime Sage undermines Homelander I tense up 😬. I know it's a matter of time before he rips her apart or lasers her 😅

[@JustJessee]

"Jesus Guns & Babies" isn't so much a parody of the real sign, it's the actual campaign slogan of Kandiss Taylor, failed Georgia Gubenatorial candidate from 2022. She refused to concede her 3rd place loss. Then for her efforts, in April 2023, was elected as the Republican Chair of Georgia's 1st district. This is the timeline in which we exist.

No call back to Newmans possible invulnerability being linked to Marie also possibly being invulnerable? Explains how Marie was able to tank that eye blast from Homelander.

The number of people i know that Love and support Trump yet are completely unaware of the Homelander parallel and despise him in the show.

[@tonkisrecords1891]

35:24 i think this is reference to mortal Kombat games specifically, because homelander is a dlc character in the newest mk game.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

I’m happy to learn Sister Sage is a Detroit Pistons fan

[@VulcanLogic]

Maybe she should coach. Or find some way to manipulate the lottery odds in Detroit's favor. There's no way them picking 5th is fair.

[@mariosofar7487]

Pretty obvious this channel and the show are on the left but whatever I like how Ryan points out in a round about way that it’s pretty much a system built to divide the masses and keep the power among the elite even tho he seems to lean left himself

[@leevaughan1993]

If you look at the wranglers skills they’re all things from call of duty 😂

Isn't sister sage also in that super hero show powers froms sony? And doesn't this seem to be almost exactly what Edgar warned homelander would happen?

38:02 I watched this breakdown specifically to see if you mentioned the bloody poker. My theory? It was actually fried octopus and he was eating his girlfriend.

That was my thought too Other people have said she might have lobotomised herself both fked

In previous seasons Vought had said they were looking at Tom Hanks to play the role of A Trains coach, but they could only get Will Ferrell

[@Jmega1999]

Lol at the disclaimer.....definitely getting harder for some of yall folks to enjoy the show huh

[@gowsa2233]

Wonder if this random ass show will open some eyes about how small minded and hateful some people are being. Lmao

[@allistertenpenny6871]

I think Sage is either plotting the downfall of Vought or Homelander specifically. When Homelander throws out the name Caesar in their first conversation Sage being the smartest person in the world and seemingly kinda smug about it could've mentioned how Caeasar died but chose to enthusiastically agree with Homelander when he relished in the idea of being a Caesar like figure. Maybe im overthinking it but i did find that odd though.

[@peterlawrence2238]

Any chance Butcher's black mass in his brain is actually semi dormant "Venom" symbiote?

Yes

Finally made it to this video thanks for the content!!!

[@dabloons4days]

did it not piss anybody else off when homelander couldn't hear hughie's heartbeat up in u know where

[@mikailamod6831]

Probably was due to the rehearsals in the background & there were multiple of them in the room. I doubt he is constantly listening for heartbeats without real focus

[@King_Rellz]

The vents were made out of zinc

[@timbecks81]

I thought that, or smell him etc, was crazy

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

Homelander doesn't hear someone's heartbeat unless he's actively focusing on it.

[@miguelarias5000]

Zinc Is pretty cheap and does basically every thing copper, bronze, brass has to offer and also homie can't see through it and I think thats what pissed him off even more 😂

[@ethanhunt8374]

From what I understood that tool on sage table in that scene with deep is a tool for lobotomy that she uses to make herself dumb or "get high" for sometime. Also she has some regeneration (U can find that in ep 1 when Ashley is showing homelander sage's biodata) so this is just temporary.

[@WWlogics]

Anyone realize that Annie’s source at the Tower was the girl from Crime Analytics and she was about to share that she told Annie that “A-Train meets with his nephews every Sunday at 3pm” before Homelander lazered her eyeballs and brain
