[@saucygrandpa8128]

Moreso playing both sides? Sage is helping Homelander, yes, but not because she cares about Vought or The Seven. While Homelander sees people as ants and insects, Sage sees them as lab rats and guinea pigs. She doesn’t care who gets hurt, she just wants to experiment. That’s why I think she gives nice or good advice, but doesn’t care about anybody. Kind of has me worried about Deep, he’s just a walking fuck stick to her

Theory - Butcher is not hallucinating Becca. She is the result of him taking Compound V and is a physical second entity that resides inside him, moving worms under his skin, and him seeing Becca is just it talking to him.

The stakes are so high this season - not just the superhero horror stuff, but the human stories that bind it all together so well

[@adityavardhanjain]

This was REALLY good. One of my favourite episodes of the series yet.

[@sil1ygoose]

Best Boys episode to date, Antony Starr needs an emmy

[@kylecobb6784]

Firecracker walked so drake could run

[@jasonnewman1118]

The first 3 episodes were debatable or divisive for sure. But this episode was so fucked up in the boys way that it is on par with the past seasons. It was pure television. Now its upwards from here. And Anthony Starr??!!? Take a fucking bow. This guy deserves an emmy. My god.

[@JackFlicks]

So much going on this episode. Enjoyed it so much. Amazing acting by Antony as per usual. Excited to see Simon Pegg get some scenes. (At least where his character is conscious) Favourite episode out of the 4 so far.

[@Atrain420]

Homelander being born was just like the comic the way she described it

[@samndukwe6127]

I am really starting to believe that hughies mum isn't real thing and that he gave his dad the V but his mind disconnected that action and put it on his "mum"

[@mrbossfortheloss8058]

His mum interacted with the staff she is real

[@kaantax8666]

she's real lmao, the only one seeing hallucinations is butcher

[@notduffy9203]

They were the ones to take temp v so who knows

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

Hughie's attempt to get power of attorney confirms that his mom is real.

[@thevagrantgaming]

lol no

[@BuckyBarnesNC]

I’m still so surprised till this day Greg and John let me mod for them. Just took a simple asking and a thank you a few yrs back. Gave this injured Army OIF Vet a way to talk nerd with good people and also helped me be able to do it with other channels as well. Anyways, this channel is a great one to support. 🤘#GottaRespectTheGame

[@the_nikster1]

every episode this season (and especially this episode) has made me so grateful that we have to wait 1 week between episodes. they pack so much into those 50-something minutes that I never want it to be over, but I also appreciate the week of breathing room to recover. also: the Kimiko storyline is a direct parallel to the Frenchie storyline. they both did something in their past that they regret and whether or not they were under duress when they did it, the chickens are coming home to roost.

[@shimsham8887]

11:15 Has anyone else noticed the consistent theme about holding grudges for past traumas throughout the show?

[@DarKOrbs]

Yeah episode 3 was for everyone to introduce their post trauma and this episode everyone faced their post traumas.

[@BenAri18]

I think this might just be the best episode of the show so far, i mean damn Antoni starr's performance, the tension his presence has brought so far into this season and the season as a whole is just perfect so far

[@daverowe03]

It happened so quickly you probably missed it. The pick of the Seven in the commercial included Sam and Cate.

[@tiagoalves2056]

In the trailer they show then too

[@daverowe03]

@tiagoalves2056 that too, but specifically in the episode when there was a commercial for the Seven making an appearance, Sam and Cate were included.

[@RubysWrath]

Homelander is one of the best characters ever. Such a unique take of hero.

[@spencergadoury]

This episode was INSANE! Great reaction!

[@elijahbaker781]

And again homelander carries like this guy is so insane Antony definitely deserves an Emmy!

[@Sparky_STL]

Stop saying the show needs to end because it 1000% does not! This is breaking bad/walking dead level of popularity and entertainment! This doesn’t need to go anywhere anytime soon!

[@duke.disparity]

Plus, there's still Gen V and probably other spin-off's planned, so this universe isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

[@diegoluna2549]

The series should win an Emmy and for Anthony Starr. He has proven to be a great and terrifying homlenader. Since it gives it a touch of extreme madness. And be exceptional. Without a doubt it is incredible. He was born to be Homelander!!!

[@Jaro_Il_Magnifico]

I don't know the motivations of people review bombing this season. This is just amazing

[@tiagoalves2056]

Because they're idiots

[@djgaben6187]

Either right wingers upset the show is leaning further into making direct fun of them, or people just wanted to hate

[@uzuwuejo]

​@@djgaben6187Maybe because the first 3 episodes were absolute garbage?

[@alghazi4243]

I wouldn't say it's bad but the standard is lower than the first three seasons, but I am excited about butcher and what v did to him, and I actually don't sympathise with hughie's mother one bit.

[@RichardGrimes-bj9ek]

@@uzuwuejoweren’t even that bad bro. If you can’t watch a tv show for more than it’s bloody, gut wrenching scenes than why don’t you just watch them on KZbin? 😂 it’s not a bad thing to have scenes that build character and story.

[@kurty1927]

It’s funny, one of them mentioned Brightburn for Homelander’s son a few episodes prior. Though, when Barbara mentions Homelander’s birth.. the reality is.. he was Brightburn

[@swalls21218]

That Mother's Milk actor appears to be doing his best 'Denzel Washington' when delivering his lines...

Love you guys. Especially you Greg. Just wanted to let you know that you guys, and Greg's reaction to Inside Out where he talks about emotions and how to get through tough things, actually helped me through my own tough times. So thanks guys. You're all awesome.

[@professionalprocastinator6428]

Butcher is basically venom now. V made his tumor sentient. It wants Butcher to live so it could live. It protects Butcher. Like venom it might actually be talking to him through his wife’s form.

[@tutorialslave]

That's genius. I hope it gets confirmed.

[@samfromthorne]

Just wanna say a huge thank you for this spoiler thumbnail on my KZbin front page. Honestly, a brilliant move using the ending image 👏🏼 Took every bit of tension from the homelander story this week.

[@ethanstechworld207]

Oh my freaking goodness this episode was unbelievable. The level of tension and just straight up distributing that they achieved was chilling. I was speechless after the episode. Antony freaking Starr… what an absolute legend. Yes! Give this man the front runner for Emmy. Also all the subtle pieces of dialogue like firecracker saying “you’re one of the good ones” or when The Deep and Firecracker were singing and then the car sound for a high pitched note was hilarious! Ahhh this show, I can’t get enough of it.

[@solow205]

There’s a running theory that Hughie’s mom isn’t actually there and is Hughie’s hallucination like how Becca is appearing to Butcher. If you watch, no one ever acknowledges his mother when she’s in the room. The doctors and nurses always directly talk to Hughie and never say anything to his mom. So that would mean that everything his mom’s done was actually Hughie but he’s projecting it so he doesn’t have to carry the consequences of his actions.

[@mansisharma8572]

that doesn't make any sense, his mom has power of attorney; the conversation b/w hughie and the lawyer confirms that she's real 😭 plus she's been referenced by starlight and a bunch of other characters

[@RobG93G]

blurring out vomit and pubic hair in a jar lol. The absolute state of internet censorship.

[@waleedsharif618]

Im literally loving this series cuz of how good Antony Starr acts as Homelander !

[@katerinaquinn5482]

This episode managed to make you feel bad for homelander. And agree with what he did.

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

I didn't agree with it one bit. It was easily the most disturbing thing he did in a list of disturbing things.

[@mansisharma8572]

huh?

Sage's plan didn't just trash Starlight; it effectively kneecapped the Singer Administration's ability to push through anti-Supe legislation.

[@donkeydarko77]

Which is explicitly stated in the episode. So, what's your point?

[@marcusmcgill4423]

@ReelRejects "I was good to you, Mikey." To answer the trivia question, that was Ismael Cruz (Danny Trejo) telling that to Michael (Tyler Mane) when he was drowning him before slamming the TV down on his head in "Halloween" (2007).

[@djfromfla3105]

Hey guys.....yeah, this has been the craziest episode yet. I have a request provided none of you have seen it yet. There is an episode of Hot Ones here on KZbin that was uploaded 2 days ago. Two stars from this show The Boys is on it. Antony Starr who plays Homelander and Chace Crawford who plays The Deep. They go against each other eating wings with the hottest of hot sauces on them. Would love to see you guys react to this. Mainly because it's so awkward for me after watching the The Boys for a while now to see the guy that plays Homelander as a regular person. I didn't even know he was from New Zealand let alone had an accent. Plus, he looks so different too. I would just love to see all of your reactions to this. Anyway, this is a great series and just continues to deliver. Always love everyone's reaction to this series and everything else you all have done. Keep up the great work. Btw, the channel here on KZbin is called "First We Feast"

[@Brook11223]

Also Rosmarie DeWitt who plays' Hughie's mom in the show is the real-life granddaughter of the late boxer James Braddock and a biopic about his life was made starring Russell Crowe where she had a supporting role.
