Can't stop the A-Train baby! Who do you like more, A-train from the comics, or A-train from the show? Hit me below. Follow us on twitter! ► twitter.com/Garrick_KI ► twitter.com/KeyIssuesCast ► twitter.com/KeyIssuesNick
It's hard to say who my favorite is, typically speedsters so I want to say A-Train... but he's a horrible person, much like all of them Haha. That being said, I think for the show its split between A-Train and Butcher.
I'm actually stoked that they made him an actual person in the show. I think they played it right. Him not being an original member makes his arc in the show that much better.
He wasnt a originnal member in the comics that was marathon who died when homelander crashed into a plane during 9/11 in the comics 9 /11 was mostly stopped due to fighter jets shooting down the planes except one because the seven failed miserably trying to stop it causing it to crash into the broooklyn bridge which A Train ended up replacing him
@Gabe Stein Not really, i mean we really dont know ANYTHING about him during the entire comic run. Not to mention the only thing he did there was kill hughie's girlfriend and rape starlight....thats literally it
Great breakdown lads! The show's depiction of A-Train blows the comic version out of the water imo. Hughie's relationship with him is already way more interesting and mutli-layered.
@@KeyIssues it indeed is. Never knew you followed me on twitter we should interact and send each other incredibly humourous and witty replies some time!
Just shows why I love Hughie, he doesn't kill A-Train when he talks about how the speedster hurt Hughie, but when he learns about what they did to Annie and how they hurt others, he kills him
Honestly it was pretty stupid that A Train survive in season 1 Like they could have killed him while he was at Hughie's house or let him die of heart attack like jesus the troubles A Train causes later wouldn't have happened
@@BrokenSIMGlasses my guess is they still need him for something. Atrain was used as a catalyst by Billy to fuel his hatred of supers on the comic . Remember hughie was close to giving up helping the boys until Billy played the tape of a train laughing at robins death . If the show is anything like the comics atrains death will be what sets off the showdown with the supes
@@MM-hf6om A Train laughing at Robin's death happened like very early which is more the reason I hate him especially when he was whining about Popclaw's death whenever The Boys has a chance to kill him/let him die (Hughie/Kimiko/Starlight) but no they had to leave him and give him CPR. I feel like the show is trying to redeem him especially in season 3 and honestly its hard to buy it since he is still a jackass. Glad Ashley called out A Train for his hypocrisy which Hughie should have done when confronting A Train.
A-Train in both versions is insecure about something. In the TV series, he's determined to remain the fastest man alive at all costs even if that means casualties occur. In the comics, his powers aren't considered very useful in the Seven, hence he attempts to compensate and make himself feel more powerful by sexually harassing Starlight.
A-Train in the show is addicted to money and fame, risks his health to stay on top, causing several tragic deaths in process, and in the end it all was practically for nothing. There's certain tragic element to his story, even though it's hard to sympathize with a murderer.
I think Homelander in the show is scary as shit. Like, yeah, Homelander in the comics is sociopathic, but he's also quite petty. The sociopathy he has in the show is downright scary. He's not only wielding physical omnipotence, but he also shows political and diplomatic cunning. Like, the Homelander in the show *could outsmart Butcher*. That's eerie.
@@daltonevans3412 don't have to be gay to rape a man, look what the Romans did to the Greeks. You don't rape the woman or kill their children, that would only make them angrier. Rape the man, its a power play and an effective one at that.
The boys gave me hope that there’s still interesting and unique stories to tell in comics and that the industry isn’t just filled with over recycled or repurposed storylines
Honestly, that's how most of the supes are in the show. They did a good job making pretty much every single character realistic and sympathetic way, while never excusing their behavior.
No. In the series they made him sympathetic by giving him the sideplot of him being an aging athlete and the need to be the best and yadda yadda, but he's NOT a good person, even putting his ego (more a desire to always stay on top, like every athlete) to a side. He never felt responsable for the death of Robin, he laughs about having gulped one of her teeth while killing her, he laughs about Hughie having been a fan of him, he's not capable of assuming his responsabilty about killing Popclaw. He's sympathetic, but not a good person.
Honestly my fav of the Seven is Homelander. Dude is definitely one of the best evil Supermen out there and is truly horrific (Especially in the show), at the same time tho there's that almost tragic element to him in the comics when you realize he's been played by Noir (Leading to his further instability and coup attempt)
i'd rather be fast cause it means you can do everything at high speed - i.e. you'll get ti destinations wuicker with tp, but that's the only way it'll really help you, whereas being super fast means every day work and shit you don't want to do but have to takes less time. Then again, personal preference; tleporting would be fuckin cool.
I dont like A-Train's costume compared too the comics lol, thats my only complaint. Seeing him struggle with real issues, like addiction and related traumas, really flushes out and humanizes his character.
@@KeyIssues Yooo thats actually a really good point. A-Train's image isnt built on being a hero, so why dress like it? His reputation and his records is all that drives him. Maaan now that makes his characteristics even more interesting. Making me appreciate the shows direction more and more.
I like the heroes and villains from the books also... so i would def want to see them adapted and brought to life. I think there is major potential there.
Starlight is my favourite from the show. I like the idea of the earnest hero stuck in a world that is extremly dark and depressing, trying to change the character and bring their world view down. I like how she doesn't allow it and stands firm as best as she can.
I’ve yet to read the comics, so maybe I’m wrong, but from what your videos have shown, I think the comics and the show are absolutely perfect for their respective mediums, despite being so incredibly different. It’s really cool to see how they adapted this story so clearly made for comics and comics alone, and made a perfect story for television out of it!
I hope they use black noir how they do in the comic but idk how they can lead up to that the way season 1 ended. So I’m excited to see any route they take
That wouldn't make sense it would ruin the supes are assholes thing that they are going for. I did think hughie was gonna get powers because they kept doing the wierd ringing thing Everytime something bad was gonna happen and I thought he would crack and boom there are his powers but no
I can not wait for season 2. That cliff hanger with butcher, his wife, her kid, and Homelander is going to be intense. Although I was waiting for a flashback of Butcher beating a super baby to death, but they already changed all that.
This is one of the really rare occasions where the change of a race to an established character wasn't something people minded. Maybe because it was more of an upgrade than a downgrade
I don't think as many people complained about the difference between the comic and show A Train because not as many people had heard of The Boys. He was great in the show though. I loved the scene with him and the cancer patient.
I’m a huge comic fan and what I Particularly like about Amazons “The Boys” is how different it is from the marvel and DC comics. How gory and sexualized it is just separates it from everything else out currently. It depicts a better vision of what would really happen if you were to fight or be killed by a superhero! 💯
Ya but they go over the top beacause they make it seem evrey super hero is evil and sister which makes them really all villians for the exception of starlight and queen maiuve not sure if that's how you spell her name
I love the show. It's just not the kind of show you can watch with people around. Like it has a lot of gore, and sex and then gore and sex mixed together.
Black Noir is defiantly the best! It’s a shame they didn’t show him more on the tv show. I hope they stick to the comic book ending when the twist is revealed!
If you think about it, Hughie deciding to save A-Train in the show is a nice parallel to the comics. In the comics, Butcher captures A-Train, presents him to Hughie and plays a tape of him laughing about Robin's death, but Hughie still doesn't want to kill him (just like in the show). It's only after Hughie finds out that A-Train also sexually assaulted Starlight that Hughie loses it and kills A-Train. Because show A-Train is a less of a scumbag than comics A-Train, he's still alive.
I like A train in the show he was amazing he developed a bit more when you see that he really loved his girlfriend...and did not want to do what he did to her my heart went out for the guy then Huey tries to resuscitate him even Huey helps him....
I’m hella excited for the rest of frenchies character ark because he’s such a great representation of just being constantly put in a bad situation from his father to little nina to his best friend overdosing on a job and now back to butcher he’s been through so much and is such a compelling character
I don't think villains need to be likable or relatable. It seems to be a modern trope that every villain has to "nearly be a hero if you look at them a certain way". Most of the best villains aren't even nearly relatable.
The point of villains is to elicit an emotional response from opposing the heroes - that tends to be easier if you're invested in the villain and are drawn to root for them, only for them to betray and disappoint you as much as they do characters in-universe.
People complain about character redesign cause most of them are lazy and done to push diversity in a non-logical manner. This show is the proof that they can be done well and if done well, people will be ok with them. Dismissing peoples critique by just saying they're babies is ridiculous and this attitude will just encourage writers being lazy.
@@bobagucci502 I liked the change, since it went both ways. Both actors nailed their part making me appreciate both being race swapped. I would have had a problem if it was just one but they evened it out.
@Faerûnian nope same here. A-Train is also one of my favorite characters on The Boys. Hell he too, might be my favorite character overall. Not only do I like speedsters, but he himself is a pretty entertaining character who I honestly prefer over Flash.
Frenchie is for sure my favorite. Their is just something so lovable about him, plus I love Europe and plan to live there one day (Germany tho, not france) and I think that nostelgic bit of me that yearns to be back in Europe really latched on to Frenchie
It feels like in recent episodes A-Train might actually rebel against Vought because his brother was crippled by a fellow Supe. Would go a long way from the apathetic monster he was in Season One, which wasn't far from his comic book self.
Man I cannot wait until the second season I am freaking hooked best show on television hands down at least right now it's up there with Rick and Morty in my world and black noir is my favorite sorry I got to go with him he's funny and he's a badass
This is great coverage. I'm also interested in why they race sawpped A Train and The Deep. I'm not mad about it. I saw the show before I saw them in the book.
I like how theres a hole in his mask to make it look like an "A" because Vought likes to make their naming (black noir is literally black black because Noir is french for black) and clearly costume designs. E
I still don’t like A train but my god does the show know how to make you feel bad or even sympathize with him. There are honest times where I think he has a chance of being redeemed but I still don’t excuse him outing supersonic and killing Robin
Great video mate, hot into The Boys really late so it's been fun seeing how different the stories are. And also just a heads up. Glasgow is pronounced as Glas-go :)
Funny how RUclipsrs are surprised that there are writers on million dollar TV shows that can write better than low rent comic book writers. The scary part is they are usually right about how bad over paid TV writers are...
My favorite character is black noir. Probably because he reminds me of snake eyes from GI Joe but also because he is absolutely silent yet deadly. He also shows that he has a little bit of a heart at some level.
My favorite character of the seven in lamplighter because I think the show can bring the show true potential and I want to see him fight cyborg from the justic league
Well You're Somewhat Right about A-Train's Origin. He is actually Stated to be a Member of One of the 3rd tier Teams, One of the Teen Ones if I Remember.
The Boys show is one of the best in how you properly change someone's race, gender, sex, etc. They were changed for the better, they added to the show, added to the character, made it make sense, they didn't just have them change skin(Iris from Flash) and make it deff about pandering.
All the boys in the comics have been altered by compound V. They are a super team who don't wear costumes. They are stronger than most supers in the world but not as strong as the 7
They race swaped A train and the Deep. Which makes sense. in the comics wasn't the deep just "the big black guy" Now he's a parody of "white good looking environmental celiberties" Who actually do care but really don't do much but lip service. A train is a black athleete. He has allot of preasure put upon him But he's still a young black man. Lovew that aspect of him coming out in Season 3.
A Train is actually really dope in the show. would look even cooler if he had blue lightning. Why don’t the speedsters have lightning or some kind of trail behind them as they run?

I hope they don’t do the clone thingy.
Hive Mind why?
Blvck Saiyan I just thought it was anticlimactic

Hughie*
I can’t wait for the second season. I wonder what will happen to homelander after billy figures his wife is alive.
I like how comics Hughie didn't kill A-Train out of personal vengeance but rather disgust over the actions against Starlight.
If you think about it, Hughie deciding to save A-Train in the show is a nice parallel to the comics. In the comics, Butcher captures A-Train, presents him to Hughie and plays a tape of him laughing about Robin's death, but Hughie still doesn't want to kill him (just like in the show).

Because show A-Train is a less of a scumbag than comics A-Train, he's still alive.

I liked Amazon A-Train since he at least has reedeming qualities.
Also the changed the deep from black to white
@@bobagucci502 I liked the change, since it went both ways. Both actors nailed their part making me appreciate both being race swapped. I would have had a problem if it was just one but they evened it out.
@Faerûnian nope same here. A-Train is also one of my favorite characters on The Boys. Hell he too, might be my favorite character overall. Not only do I like speedsters, but he himself is a pretty entertaining character who I honestly prefer over Flash.
I hated A train in the show until the season 2 season finally.
Im excited on how they will handle billy taking in the fact his wife is still alive
6:48 damn, hughie has some super power :P
You know. I think the Amazon live action actors look a lot better than the comic counter parts. Billy Butcher and Black Noir especially
Black noir is more of a silent and mute type and that’s why I like that character
Still wouldn't mind Amazon killing off A-train in the show
I’m excited for how they’re going to tackle Butcher’s final master plan. My favourite member is Butcher and my favourite character is the Homelander.
love the name A-Train
6:49 That's one helluva kick!
Frenchie is for sure my favorite. Their is just something so lovable about him, plus I love Europe and plan to live there one day (Germany tho, not france) and I think that nostelgic bit of me that yearns to be back in Europe really latched on to Frenchie
0:05 that’s cool they turned those vapor max into some boot looking thing.
A-Train in the series is a relatable and conflicted character. The actor is very good.
It feels like in recent episodes A-Train might actually rebel against Vought because his brother was crippled by a fellow Supe. Would go a long way from the apathetic monster he was in Season One, which wasn't far from his comic book self.
Man I cannot wait until the second season I am freaking hooked best show on television hands down at least right now it's up there with Rick and Morty in my world and black noir is my favorite sorry I got to go with him he's funny and he's a badass
Black Noir is the the worst in the comics though
One of the worst villains is black noir lol
This is great coverage.
I'm also interested in why they race sawpped A Train and The Deep.
I'm not mad about it.
I saw the show before I saw them in the book.
bro said glosscow
I like how theres a hole in his mask to make it look like an "A" because Vought likes to make their naming (black noir is literally black black because Noir is french for black) and clearly costume designs. E
Hugh because he is Scottish, and I am Scottish so we have a wee bit in common
This comment is even more fitting since his name is Wee Hughie.
Black Noir doesn't get a lot of panels/ scenes but even before his origins are discovered, he proves that he is one seriously badass mofo
I still don’t like A train but my god does the show know how to make you feel bad or even sympathize with him. There are honest times where I think he has a chance of being redeemed but I still don’t excuse him outing supersonic and killing Robin
I agree he is way better in the show I actually felt bad for him on the last episode having a breakdown about Popclaw being something he cant accept.
I think homelander and a train look awesome in both comic and show
Great video mate, hot into The Boys really late so it's been fun seeing how different the stories are.
And also just a heads up. Glasgow is pronounced as Glas-go :)
They may be scared of home lander, but Batman won’t be scared.
Black Noir is my favorite....I like his mysterious demeanor
Funny how RUclipsrs are surprised that there are writers on million dollar TV shows that can write better than low rent comic book writers. The scary part is they are usually right about how bad over paid TV writers are...
The Temp V answered multiple questions I had about them capturing/killing A-Train in this video hahaha
Damn. What does Falcon need wings for if he can run fast anyway
It's not Falcon as much as they look the same. He's like the flash but a shit head...
They are the Justice League of shit heads...
I also thought he looks like Falcon.
Adam Sifford that about sums it up
A Train & The Deep are my favorites of The Seven from the show.
Great review.
My favorite character is black noir. Probably because he reminds me of snake eyes from GI Joe but also because he is absolutely silent yet deadly. He also shows that he has a little bit of a heart at some level.
"Glass Cow, Scotland"
I used to wish to be fast too, until I saw "Jumper". Teleportation is WAY more convenient.
My favorite character of the seven in lamplighter because I think the show can bring the show true potential and I want to see him fight cyborg from the justic league
2:53 I'm sorry but that is the funniest way I've ever heard someone pronounce Glasgow. It's supposed to be "Glaz-goh" not "Gloss-gow" lol.
2:50 I’m sorry but I can’t live knowing you’re pronouncing Glasgow “Gloss cow” it’s pronounced “Glaz-go”
Well You're Somewhat Right about A-Train's Origin. He is actually Stated to be a Member of One of the 3rd tier Teams, One of the Teen Ones if I Remember.
The Boys show is one of the best in how you properly change someone's race, gender, sex, etc. They were changed for the better, they added to the show, added to the character, made it make sense, they didn't just have them change skin(Iris from Flash) and make it deff about pandering.
A-Train no diffs comic A-Train
How in the hell did hughie kick a trains head off lol
In the comics all of the boyz got super strength among other stuff
All the boys in the comics have been altered by compound V. They are a super team who don't wear costumes. They are stronger than most supers in the world but not as strong as the 7
Another cool thing about A-Train is that he also has super strength now that is awesome 💯
Glasgow is pronounced 'Glazzgo' not 'Glossgow' but otherwise great video
The way you said Glasgow made me want to cry 😂
New a train look better
They race swaped A train and the Deep. Which makes sense. in the comics wasn't the deep just "the big black guy" Now he's a parody of "white good looking environmental celiberties" Who actually do care but really don't do much but lip service. A train is a black athleete. He has allot of preasure put upon him But he's still a young black man. Lovew that aspect of him coming out in Season 3.
A-Train sounds like the blackest superhero name ever, he delivers drugs, and he runs fast - of course people didn't complain that they made him black.
Tf
@@Dreyz-pg2zz Telling it like it is. All he needs is a fake hate crime and he'll be the perfect POS black celebrity.
A Train is actually really dope in the show. would look even cooler if he had blue lightning. Why don’t the speedsters have lightning or some kind of trail behind them as they run?
Hey there :) Why is there no mention of him being race swapped, like you made a big point of in the "the deep" video?
Why do you care?
@@KeyIssues Way to answer the question 👍🏼
@@Pete81no He ain't wrong
I have huge respect for the butcher because he is in a way, similar to the punisher in marvel
Guys, I dreamed about The Seven in the show......Black Noir revealed himself as a clone of Homelander in my dream...I hope this is a Deja Vu.....
I don’t think they are going down that road.
My favorite a train
