[@Matisaro]

@screenCrush This episode proved that Butchers friend is only in his head I think. At the end when they were talking to Lt Dan Dr Pershing every time Buthcher said we Pershing looked around confused and Pershing never once looked directly at Karl Urbans character.

[@dantetre]

5:00 they didn't white washed that Native American, because the "Crying Indian" actor (Espera Oscar de Corti) was Italian descent and not native American. He lied trough his whole life. So it was quite accurate to put a white actor pretending to be Native American.

[@kindredwolves]

@screencrush The crying Indian in the litter ad was not native American. He was Espera Oscar de Corti. A man of Italian descent who played a lot of native Americans on screen. He was already white washed and that was the point of them using it.

something i think people tend to overlook about this show is it's making fun of the political system as a whole and how it's all run through the media to get more views. it's not a show making fun of exclusively the left or right, it's making light of a serious larger issue

[@TheNoviceOAO]

Minka Kelly isnt a play on megyn kelly, Minka Kelly is an actress from shows like Titans and Friday Night Lights. I assume theyre referencing how hollywood produces sometimes sexually exploit actresses' in exchange for movie roles

[@Ironcorgi2]

For years he lied on his background and only after he died it was revealed he wasn't Native American. It could also be pardoying 5 dollar Native Americans as well as Elizabeth Warren who claimed she was too.

[@blairhoughton7918]

Sicilian-American, since he was born here. Why do people miss it? Because almost nobody knew then and few know now. He knew though. And he ended up doing a lot of good for Native Americans after he got famous.

I think the last scene sort of supported screencrushs theory from last week that the other guy is just in butchers head

[@mayuzumiandme]

I liked how him and huey have somewhat similar powers

[@judithandhollyfurnace]

I didn't catch that until I read this. Not just a slightly different form of teleportation but it's all awkward and apologetic and confused. They're both nice people at heart but they can't ever express it properly. Could also be the fact that taking Temp V is like jumping instantly into the depths of an acid trip with no experience but the things you're feeling actually manifest in reality. Thus awkward and confused use of powers that were designed to be learned throughout childhood.

[@MrJarrydLee]

they are the same power lmfao

I took Tek Knight proudly saying "12minute pitch black scene" as a nod at Game of Throne's Season 8 night battle in which u couldn't see a thing.

[@spokeen6249]

Hughie having to let go of his dad is a big character arc learning how to move on and lose attachment when he is the only member of the boys not wanting to let go of Butcher he now knows how to process a big loss

[@abdelali9279]

Simon Pegg really finished with a bang, I even forgot how he was supposed to sound like his accent was really convincing, also the man can't let go of his hate of the prequels, I just decided to laugh at that fact

[@jimmydedonato367]

Personally I don’t think the rabbit had the same thing as butcher. I think it’s just trying to show us that if you have preexisting issues the v can affect it. I think the rabbit just had worms or something

[@Brewcityking]

Compound (temp) v gives a person their secret desire type of power. Kimiko has healing powers because of her trauma and fights when she was held captive by the human trafficking group and of course she may not mentally heal, her body does after every fight. Butcher gets homelander powers because it’s his desire to beat him, Hughie gets teleportation because he’s very non confrontational and always feels like he has to get away, Hughe gets phasing powers because he acts barely fazed by life and negative problems. The sheep in ep 5 became predators considering that it’s ironic of sheep to be the aggressors. The bunny that died and had the tentacles coming out shows that temp v gives cancer and I guarantee those tentacles were a form of what’s in butcher. I dunno but just what I noticed…

[@michaelbox6007]

Sage is definitely up to something. She is supposedly the smartest human on the planet, so I can't imagine that she isn't playing 3 dimensional chess all the time: thinking several moves ahead and even planning alternate moves depending potential variables of others. She maintains a close working relationship with Homelander, potentially to keep him close and to be able to manipulate him (after all, his mommy/acceptance issues are easy to spot by non-supes). If she really is the smartest human, she has to see that his unchecked power has disastrous consequences and is probably preparing for a confrontation at some point.

I can't wait for Butcher's new powers. I saw a leak about Butcher's power which is almost the same as Venom or ( something like Alex Mercer Prototype power thing ). Moreover, in the Marvel Universe, Eddie sometimes calls Venom something other than a symbiote (parasite), in accordance with The Boys Universe which also calls it a parasite, but in Prototype universe, they call it Virus.

[@julenperea4954]

Simon Pegg's performance on this episode was incredible.

[@BeanGangTingle]

very small chance but i think maybe firecracker is going to be more important i might be wrong but we havent seen much of her power other than her fingers making a spark but i think she might also be similar to leech in the xmen and sister sage knows this and its why she brought her into the 7 to weaken the other members

[@bsquinney]

I wanted to do that Leonardo DiCaprio whistle double take of Sameer looking confused when butcher said "we" as I think Joe Kessler is the evil voice of the parasite...

[@HR2007-o3f]

Interestingly, you mention Starlight’s poster-girl image for Evangelicalism when she seems to be a Catholic. If she’s not a Catholic, she’s probably well-versed in the denomination’s culture, as she deduced Frenchie’s Catholicism by looking at his cross. The scene’s message implies she’s a Catholic.

[@ApatheticallyClowning]

Though the crucifix is a largely Catholic (and others), so she might have been able to guess based on that. Not to mention the population of it, and that he is French which is largely Catholic. Starlight seems to be a fairly educated person.

[@HR2007-o3f]

I didn’t notice it was a crucifix.

[@ApatheticallyClowning]

[@dpexoticsss]

You missed the true reference to why they had a white guy playing big cheef because the real life actor that played the native American in the crying commercial was an Italian-American that specialized in playing native Americans

[@alex1vid]

Ha... I'll always think of Esposito and dressing sharp because of his "Mfing Air Jordans"

[@superflypheelign]

I am frustrated with repeat scenes. Firecracker is the female version of Gunpowder with religion as the added element (though she's shown no markmanship skills up to this point). We already have seen animals on V last season. I hope the wheels of the series are not spinning.

[@jesserivera2043]

After all this I still don't even know what Firecracker's powers are. But I love the symbolism of her name

[@JoeKerr019]

The line on The Virus being Transmitted though body fluids, it's a reference to the OTHER fucked up Garth Ennis comic "Crossed"

​@@sairithvickgummadala2688 him "interacting" with car doors aren't indicative of someone really "being" there. Remember, people thought Hughie imagined his mom Daphne for several reasons, yet we see Daphne interacting with a couple doctors which hallucinations can not do. This especially becomes more apparent when these doctors explicitly say Hughie's mother was responsible for the DNR protocol. Taking this in consideration, we've never seen anyone interacting, let alone acknowledge, Joe Kessler's existence at all. Him opening a door could be Butcher himself imagining that or be Butcher since, despite this, no one seems to acknowledge him.

Hughie probably holds on to things because his mother abandoned him. In this way he tries to hold on so they won't leave him. Is probably why he keeps forgiving Butcher. Butcher's like a Older Brother/Father figure to him. He can't let go but with him putting his dad down maybe we will see a difference in Hughie and how he deals with others.

[@muskaan3711]

Perfectly said.

[@kyleskudaneellis2685]

I usually like Hughie but this episode has me really not like him as a person. I get the episode is about him letting go of his Dad, but his sensibilities cause so much needless death. It makes me not root for him as the unjustifiable death was made me root for him joining the boys. I get it's The Boys, but we see so much difference in A-Trains arc. He's a bad person becoming a caring one. When Hughie would be a decent person that is turning to a bad one.

Guys in body paint and feathers doing fake Indian accents and their Brooklyn accent is coming through, kind of stuff. The interesting thing about Cody is that all the white people in Hollywood thought he was an Indian, and so did many of the Indians he worked and lived with. There were rumors, but in those days they couldn't go far, and he wasn't really outed until after he died and his family showed his birth records.

@@blairhoughton7918 you're also watching a youtube video that gives you a recap of things that all take 20 seconds to google just like the people who made this video did. Don't fault people for choosing an easier source of information than research when a simple recap is much easier. I'm fairly sure you still buy butter from the store when you could easily raise goats or cows and milk them and then churn the butter yourself. You could probably research any meaningless bit of information quickly. But you must decide some things are worth just not caring about although you're interested and you let other people fill in the blanks.

[@senselessbabble1996]

I agree!

[@minyt8835]

I think Sage was discussing with Ted Knight the possibility that the leak is A-Train. That’s why Homelander brought up A-Train to beat the news reporter. And since Ted Knight is known to be able to read people well, he could probably tell A-Train is the leak

[@mydoggylives]

Tek Knight.... Ted Knight was on Too Close for Comfort and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. 😉 And I was wondering about that as well. They both seemed to be giving A-Train the side eye.

[@pigglesgoomshby7249]

The subtitles were messed up there, Homelander says "Patriots" instead of "A-Train", though I do agree that Sage and likely Tek-Knight know he's the leak

[@fernandaespinola8183]

I think Sage definitely knows A-train is the leak but she'll keep it from Homelander until she can get something out of it. Her agenda is still not completely clear and her loyalty to Homelander is very conditional

Best part is the credit song. Old McDonald had a farm 😂😂😂

This episode ran the gambit of emotions. This season has been so good.

[@christopherdoroba8724]

Completely agree!! I said that to my wife like god damn I felt every emotion

[@БогданКрименюк]

@christopherdoroba8724 WHY DOES EVERYONE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR BLOODY WIFE, YOU PEOPLE ARE IN SUFF ERABLE

[@DJMarcO138]

Gamut, not gambit. But yes!

[@djhinton79]

@DJMarcO138 thanks. Honestly didn't know there was another spelling. Good on you.

i personally haven't liked this season, but this episode was great, and homelander for me personally is the highlight. however i actually liked that the boys decided to actually do shit together instead of split up and nothing memorable happening

Minka Kelly is a Real Actress who have played in DC shows as well as Charlies Angels.

[@parkswhite]

Minka Kelly is a real actress. A better easter egg would be the fact that she appeared in "Almost Human" with Karl Urban.

[@tb4704]

And that she played a superhero before.
