Man I feel so bad for black noir.. he was completely alone, everyone in the show had someone they can talk to or share their feelings with but noir was completely miserable and died alone, even homelander wasn’t that isolated.
I can strangely relate that. The best relationships I've ever had are the ones that only exist in my mind. Why must the greatest happiness's in life always be right in front of our eyes, yet still so intangible?
This one hit me way too hard. They gave him depth and you really saw who he was in S3. It made you sympathize with Noir and it showed he was just a scared, lonely man. All the scenes with his imaginary friends broke me. Especially after he died and them crying man I was balling with them. He won my heart in the end and this death was the saddest one of the series
Ehh, Black Noir is a scumbag with truckloads of innocent lives cruelly killed in his wake. You just got your heartstrings tugged by Disney cartoons, nothing more.
@@blurgle9185 and homelander is better? ofcourse there's going to be collateral damage for any of them, also black noir had half of his face burned and then got part of his brains bashed out that's why he sees the cartoons
The symbolism as his imaginary character slowly backing away from the lens as the life escapes Black Noir's eyes is so incredibly well done, I didnt realize how hard it hit till I rewatched it.
Why do these comment threads always have someone heaping some emotional narrative onto something like this? "Yeah I just realised how hard it hits watching it back...the bit where he dies, where he's all like...dead and stuff....woah dude, much symbolic"
Noir could've easily wrote a note saying "I didn't tell you because he's a bad person and his chest blast thing could hurt you, just trying to protect you" "Also, these scars came from him"
I mean he was one of the few people he consider an actual friend. That is why i really like that animated episode were they show their first mission togheter and explain a lot about Homelander as a character.
Sorry, a year late but I rewatched the video so.. He makes note of “I’ve always been able to tell your face..” I think it was a test to see if Black Noir would crack, which he didn’t, so then he just straight up asks him, did he know, and if he said no AND passed the lie detector test, I think HL would’ve spared him. Albeit, he’d probably keep a much closer eye on Noir and wouldn’t trust him anymore; but HL *tries* to be logical/justified when it comes to killing those close to him or might be important later.
I really liked how Black Noir was seemingly Homelanders ride or die when everyone else was turning on him. It sucks losing this dynamic and character but maybe the new Noir will be badass as well
@@EASY7356 there is no way they are doing that, Its impact has been completely negated. Because that plotline only worked in the books due how the story was set up. If they were to do the same in the show just to do it. It would be so pointless. That change was probably one of the best they did. Sure it was cool the little hints of Noir´s identity in the books but it would be so lame in the show.
This is one of the very few times that I felt some form of sympathy toward Homelander. He felt that he needed to kill Black Noir for betraying him but you can tell it was a rare moment where it really hurt him to do so.
I felt it was a combination of that and how black noir keeps saying “kill.” Like homelander is laying out his heart out about his revelation of having a father and here black noir is just telling him, “BAD” and “must kill” Instead of listening. After all who wants to hear their father is evil.
I don't think noir would've fought against homelander, at the very least he would be so taken a back that home lander would kill him in that couple second delay
If Black Nori is dead then who is going to kill Homelander at the end? At the end of the comic Homelander was killed by Black Nori, well he was left badly injured, very badly, his guts were open, he was bleeding and half of his face was missing and then he died
@@Nameless82284 In the comics, Soldier Boy was a little piss boy who was literally killed in just one panel, but in the show, he's a fucking force to be reckoned with. The show will deviate more from the comics as time goes on.
@@ember2933 Good point. The same thing happened with Black Nori, in the comic he's a clone of Homelander. But still, who's going to kill Homelander at the end?
2:23 I love the way Noir tilts his head after Homelander asks him why he didn’t tell him the truth. Almost like Noir’s saying, “John, you don’t have a clue how bad he was. I was trying to protect you.”
Poor Noir he thought finally got the Leader he deserve. All this time Homelander appreciate his work and being nice to him but in the end when there is a mistake Homelander is much worse than Soldier Boy
Most people missed the point here. Homelander didn't kill Noir because he lied to him. He killed him because he knew Soldier Boy wanted revenge against his old team. He thought that if he killed him, Soldier Boy would be somehow pleased and happy and that would be like a way of earning sympathy or respect from him. But his plan backfired and he ended killing the only friend he had
Nah I don't think that was it, there was no implication of this anywhere. When SB asked where was Noir all HL said was that he killed him because he lied to him about SB being his father. He was just hurt and angry by Noir never telling him he had a father despite knowing all these years, and killed him out of anger. Don't overthink it.
He may or may not be dead depending on if they need to bring him back. In the animated segment where they explained what Soldier Boy did to Black Noir it showed his brain being spilled out, and if he survived that they he could have survived what Homelander did. It just depends on what direction they take the show.
I literally screamed when I saw this for the first time. Homelander killed Black Noir because he knew the truth about Soldier Boy being his dad and I felt sad that he died
I don’t think He died He Even survived somehow soldier boy when his old Team fought against him because i guess He has better Regeneration then Kimiko because Noir also defeated her
I like the moment Homelander looks down at Noirs stomach when the thought of ripping his guts out came across his mind and then it was followed by a cold blooded gaze. He is a great actor
I mean this may sound messed up but homelander wasn’t all 100% bad he only started spinning out of control the last season or two. Makes me feel sad for homelander on a level because even tho he wasn’t mentally and physically isolated as an adult, he still spent the most crucial years of his life as a child locked away in a room alone only for himself and he knows black noir was in the same feeling hence why they were so close.
@@trentjohnson4535Plenty of people were raised as a child in hostile environements, and then turned out to be good people later in life. That's not an excuse for the stuff he did.
He's back ish, they confirmed it will be a different character, just a rebrand, no public knowledge of his killing at all, his character is supposed to be somewhat comedic this time round with emotions through out, same actor under the mask Nathan but different guy when it's off
@@mf2yu197 your 'personal' opinion. "Manipulated"? Like how? And I guess you never see through things, he did have a lot f character. Just because he didn't talk doesn't mean he lacks character or is bland.
Since they will need several new members for the seven, I can imagine them being introduced and being like “oh and we brought back black noir” and homelanders face being like 😮
You can tell from Homelander’s face that this was most likely the only murder he felt guilty of. You can tell from the look in his eyes that he felt betrayed and needed to kill him for lying to him.
"Soon you will be in the sweet embrace of Christ the Lord" Wow that had me in tears. I'm glad Noir got a happy ending. He didn't lie before his death and knew he would meet his creator. Such a beautiful scene and this who series is a rollercoaster of emotions.
I know Diabolical already covered the begginings of this friendship, but personally I'd love to see more of their past in live action. They could totally do a prequel mini series about the days of The Seven before even being The Seven or something. If not then they could also just have more young Homelander flashbacks in the following season.
@@Nameless82284 Black Noir isn't the clone of Homelander in this version of The Boys. Also, he is weaker than Soldier Boy because Soldier Boy is the one who gave Noir his brain injuries, and Soldier Boy has been aggressive towards Noir in the past acting like a bully. So, unless he got some enhancements somehow, of course after being ressurected, then I don't think Noir can kill Homelander by himself.
This is one of those scenes where it really emphasizes just how scary Homelander is. I know what's gonna happen, I've seen this 100 times but once the music starts playing at 2:00 and he goes around Noir, cornering him, you realize dude is just a live wire at all times. He will start a conversation so calm, even warm, but over a minute or 2, he slowly just becomes scarier and scarier and you're just like "what is he about to do..." Especially in this scene because this is your ally. Soldier Boy is here to kill you, and he simply cannot take Homelander vs Noir, I don't even think The Boys all together could have taken them both at once, but instead he fucking punches his own ally through his fucking gut on a whim. Then you think of it from Noir's angle, cause you know he's standing there thinking, "do I engage and attack him first? This is my ally? Can I even beat him? What is he about to do? Why is he asking these questions?" On top of thinking about how he is gonna kill Soldier Boy. No joke I've never been one to be afraid of a character in a movie... But Homelander puts fear into my heart like no character has ever put fear into my heart. He's all powerful and liable to do literally anything on a whim because there either ISNT any consequences, or he doesn't THINK there's consequences. He's all powerful and free to do whatever he wants at any moment.
I'm still pissed they killed Black Noir. They built up this rivalry with Soldier Boy the entire season and we don't get to see them fight!? I'm getting a little tired of people "subverting expectations"
What rivalry? Noir was clearly terrified of him and in the cartoon flashbacks we have seen how hopelessly outmatched he was against Soldier Boy. Homelander was his only bet.
So you're tired of shows that do things their own way instead of serving up exactly what you want every time? Then stop watching good shows and go back to kids' cartoons
@@thesprawl2361 You think a show "doing things their own way" makes it good? Watch Mindy Kaling's "Velma" and let me know how that worked out for them. Hell, GOT did things their own way in the last two seasons, did that make it a good show for you as well? No, I want shows that deliver a complete and satisfying character's arc. What they did with Black Noir was anything but that. Was it unexpected? Sure, but that doesn't make it good.
@@BLooDCoMPleX What rivalry? The rivalry they spent the entire 3rd season building up. Noir being "clearly terrified" and "hopelessly outmatched" doesn't mean there isn't a rivalry. On the contrary, it signifies a heavy animosity, something which is essential to building a rivalry.
@@QuanPardeNukthats another guy completely,i hate when comic book know it alls bring up lore that doesnt relate to the media Does that mean in amazing spiderman movies harrys dad fxcked gwen????
I have a feeling Vought's going to bring back Black Noir, but he'll be even more of a mindless drone than was before. They spent a lot of time developing Noir this season and introducing his little vision friends and shit. I wouldn't be surprised if we get some POV of Black Noir while he's doing some gruesome fucked up shit in service to the powers at be, all while in his minds eye, he's following the directions of his cartoon friends and blissfully unaware of what reality is going on around him.
They confirmed the name black noir is coming back but the person underneath the mask is new. Hopefully they bring the original back because it would be kinda dumb for them to build all this up for him and the mf just dies
He’s returning for season four yes he will be back albeit a different person under the mask. Same character same role but different identity. This version of noir may just be the homelander clone that was the twist in the comics as to who black noir truly was.
Outta all of the deaths in the boys, this has to be the saddest one yet for me, I couldn't help but just cry, his backstory, character motive, imaginary friends, all made sense. It didn't help that they replaced him in season 4.
i think HL did this for his own good, i mean a death by SB hands would be waaaaay worse, after all trap him was black noir idea, he would torture black noir for 1 last time.
I think he did that couse he was simply tried to make his father proud + he always wanted a family, and now he knew Noir was the reanson he never got one
What gets me is that Black Noir must’ve been thinking he’s a failure as he was dying. Not only did he not get a chance to take out Soldier Boy, but he was killed in one shot by Soldier Boy’s son because he didn’t tell Homelander who Soldier Boy was. But then, that soft music starts playing, and that little beaver says, “Don’t worry, Erving. We are so proud of you.” I like to think that gave Black Noir some peace as he died, knowing he had been one of the few actually good guys, and that he should be proud of himself.
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 it seemed like a really peaceful death though, even his cartoon frens said farewell. he was pretty much a child in a deadly weapon body, brainwashed into doing things. rests in peace for sure :)
@@descree7 from his backstory, we know that he was perfectly aware of what was happening with vought and wanted to move up in the world, until he got beaten almost to death by soldier boy.
Eevryone says Black Noir was 'one of the worst ones' - no he had a fucked up childhood and the only reason he was so bad is because he had unwavering loyalty and seldom knew right from wrong, only a directive. When your Leaders are Soldier Boy and Homelander then yes you will do some evil shit.
I really don't think he even knew how unpredictable Homelanders emotional state was at that time. Noir was humble and loyal, wouldn't have fought Homelander anyways.
He is a very lonely guy. Xes evil and all that, but deeo down also broken, he did not had a family he was basicly the work of the company not treated him like a human, but like some subject
For those who don't know Black Noir can benchpress a dozen Mack Trucks, From this, you can estimate the Strength of Homelander. He literally killed him with his fist .💀
Indeed. Demolished Kimiko, taking the explosion point blank fromt he super terrorist, tanking bullets from MM & Hughie like nothing, and just being insanely strong, getting 1 shotted like nothing. Not even the heat vision. Makes you see how insane stormfront tanking his heatvision for a while is.
Sometimes in life you’re the only one who knows everything you’ve been through and how much you’ve struggled. That’s what those imaginary friends mean. And it’s so sad to see them telling him they’re so proud of him.
I genuinely empathize with Black Noir because he was completely isolated, with no one to confide in. The realization that even Homelander reluctantly ended his life must have inflicted deep emotional pain upon him.
That cry at 2.05 from homelander you could tell he hoped noir said no, because now he has to kill him as he can't trust him no more, but he doesn't want to
I'm probably misremembering but in all the scenes I recall, Black Noir wasn't the aggressor, and didn't harm anyone he deemed innocent. Even his going after Soldier Boy made sense. Maybe stardom would have made him a jerk, but he was probably the most pure hearted of the original 7 with the possible exception of Maeve.
Non of them were pure hearted they all did terrible things in their time we just feel empathy for Noir because we got a humanization of Irving in this season we've seen in detail what the others have done and they've done it as themselves Black Noir is under a mask most of the show when we find out that Irving isn't a scumbag that he has emotions like empathy, regret, fear you feel that much more for him so did he do terrible things yes but at his core Black Noir was not evil
you're delusional. noir was a brutal psychopath who only truly cared about himself and his own ego. he tried to kill starlight several times for his own sick desire to please Vought. and in the animated series, we learn he was the one who corrupted homelander and showed him he could do whatever he wanted and still have vought cover it up.
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 It's okay to disagree with (or in this case, correct) people online without being rude. I forgot the part about Starlight and I didn't know about him corrupting Homelander. You can lay out your reasoning without insulting the person you're talking to, and if you do, you'll probably find that people are more receptive to what you have to say. Have a nice weekend!

I like the moment Homelander looks down at Noirs stomach when the thought of ripping his guts out came across his mind and then it was followed by a cold blooded gaze. He is a great actor
I mean this may sound messed up but homelander wasn’t all 100% bad he only started spinning out of control the last season or two. Makes me feel sad for homelander on a level because even tho he wasn’t mentally and physically isolated as an adult, he still spent the most crucial years of his life as a child locked away in a room alone only for himself and he knows black noir was in the same feeling hence why they were so close.
@@trentjohnson4535Plenty of people were raised as a child in hostile environements, and then turned out to be good people later in life. That's not an excuse for the stuff he did.
2:29 the saddest moments of the boys , hope he does come back
Yeah...
He's back ish, they confirmed it will be a different character, just a rebrand, no public knowledge of his killing at all, his character is supposed to be somewhat comedic this time round with emotions through out, same actor under the mask Nathan but different guy when it's off
No. I don't care a bit for him. You're just easy to be manipulated to like a bland character just because director put cartoon in it
@@mf2yu197 your 'personal' opinion. "Manipulated"? Like how? And I guess you never see through things, he did have a lot f character. Just because he didn't talk doesn't mean he lacks character or is bland.
@@mf2yu197 I can’t even think of one bland character from The Boys, that show is amazing from start to finish
Since they will need several new members for the seven, I can imagine them being introduced and being like “oh and we brought back black noir” and homelanders face being like 😮
Yesss he’s copy of himm!!😊
Homelander can see who it is, so he'll know it's someone else
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 He would still be pissed though
You can tell from Homelander’s face that this was most likely the only murder he felt guilty of. You can tell from the look in his eyes that he felt betrayed and needed to kill him for lying to him.
Didn't really need to.

"Soon you will be in the sweet embrace of Christ the Lord" Wow that had me in tears. I'm glad Noir got a happy ending. He didn't lie before his death and knew he would meet his creator. Such a beautiful scene and this who series is a rollercoaster of emotions.
Happy ending...?
That was sad ouch !!!!!
@@-ayoshattah-ilya14ans70 He was a shell of his former self and alone. This was a release from the pain
With all the vile shit he did, if there actually was a heaven or hell, that dude is going south
Crazy how in the comics Homelander doesn't know what Black Noir looks like but in the show he knows every detail on Black Noir's face.
@@jamespreetlebronsinghI know that's why homelander didn't know what he looked like
Wait now that I think about it
Wouldn't Homelander have seen through Noir's mask in the comics?
In the comics, the mask was made out of zinc, the only thing homelander can't see through
@@Arshfx660I’m kind of surprised Homelander never questioned why his mask was made of zinc in the comics. That would have been suspicious I feel like.
I know Diabolical already covered the begginings of this friendship, but personally I'd love to see more of their past in live action. They could totally do a prequel mini series about the days of The Seven before even being The Seven or something.
If not then they could also just have more young Homelander flashbacks in the following season.
The moment when Homelander killed Noir by punching a hole in his stomach, I was like "No!" 'Cause I do feel sorry for Noir.
I was upset because if Black Nori is dead then who is going to kill Homelander at the end
Talk about a gut punch
@@Nameless82284 Black Noir isn't the clone of Homelander in this version of The Boys. Also, he is weaker than Soldier Boy because Soldier Boy is the one who gave Noir his brain injuries, and Soldier Boy has been aggressive towards Noir in the past acting like a bully. So, unless he got some enhancements somehow, of course after being ressurected, then I don't think Noir can kill Homelander by himself.
This is one of those scenes where it really emphasizes just how scary Homelander is. I know what's gonna happen, I've seen this 100 times but once the music starts playing at 2:00 and he goes around Noir, cornering him, you realize dude is just a live wire at all times. He will start a conversation so calm, even warm, but over a minute or 2, he slowly just becomes scarier and scarier and you're just like "what is he about to do..." Especially in this scene because this is your ally. Soldier Boy is here to kill you, and he simply cannot take Homelander vs Noir, I don't even think The Boys all together could have taken them both at once, but instead he fucking punches his own ally through his fucking gut on a whim. Then you think of it from Noir's angle, cause you know he's standing there thinking, "do I engage and attack him first? This is my ally? Can I even beat him? What is he about to do? Why is he asking these questions?" On top of thinking about how he is gonna kill Soldier Boy. No joke I've never been one to be afraid of a character in a movie... But Homelander puts fear into my heart like no character has ever put fear into my heart. He's all powerful and liable to do literally anything on a whim because there either ISNT any consequences, or he doesn't THINK there's consequences. He's all powerful and free to do whatever he wants at any moment.
Bro died without even talking all of hes life
And hes imaginary cartoon friends was familiar to deadpool
I thought of him as kind of like a cross between Batman and Deadpool with bipolar
He actually has talked.
Did you watch the series at all? Did you see him in the flashback?
@Way 2 Go Way To Go*
He has talked but Soldier Boy burned his face and bashed his brains
I'm still pissed they killed Black Noir. They built up this rivalry with Soldier Boy the entire season and we don't get to see them fight!? I'm getting a little tired of people "subverting expectations"
Black Noir already almost died with the Team against soldier boy so Alone hes Not a challenge for him
What rivalry? Noir was clearly terrified of him and in the cartoon flashbacks we have seen how hopelessly outmatched he was against Soldier Boy. Homelander was his only bet.
So you're tired of shows that do things their own way instead of serving up exactly what you want every time? Then stop watching good shows and go back to kids' cartoons
@@thesprawl2361 You think a show "doing things their own way" makes it good? Watch Mindy Kaling's "Velma" and let me know how that worked out for them. Hell, GOT did things their own way in the last two seasons, did that make it a good show for you as well? No, I want shows that deliver a complete and satisfying character's arc. What they did with Black Noir was anything but that. Was it unexpected? Sure, but that doesn't make it good.
@@BLooDCoMPleX What rivalry? The rivalry they spent the entire 3rd season building up. Noir being "clearly terrified" and "hopelessly outmatched" doesn't mean there isn't a rivalry. On the contrary, it signifies a heavy animosity, something which is essential to building a rivalry.
Noir isn’t dead. He’s basically Deadpool. The irony is that Deadpool never shuts up and Noir can’t talk at all. He has heal
so why didnt he heal from his scars?
Your so wrong you should delete your comment 😂😂 bro is nothing like dead pool

Have you not watched season 4 dumby? He's in the first episode@@Arthurblacklungmorgan1899
Black noir was so alone... Isolated... Man but it made the scene 100x sadder of that moment when he was dead
Censored a word but show the whole internal organs being pulled out of him, I love this logic

The moment Antony Starr truly became Homelander
Was in season 1 episode 1 😂
A physco
“Nobody’s all bad”
Homelander, have you checked yourself?
Well he genuinely loves his son since he's all he wanted, like homelanders a weirdly good father but a bad person otherwise
I ve seen muzan
Worst part for Noir is that he was doing Homelander a favor by keeping the truth from him.
I have a feeling Vought's going to bring back Black Noir, but he'll be even more of a mindless drone than was before. They spent a lot of time developing Noir this season and introducing his little vision friends and shit. I wouldn't be surprised if we get some POV of Black Noir while he's doing some gruesome fucked up shit in service to the powers at be, all while in his minds eye, he's following the directions of his cartoon friends and blissfully unaware of what reality is going on around him.
They confirmed the name black noir is coming back but the person underneath the mask is new. Hopefully they bring the original back because it would be kinda dumb for them to build all this up for him and the mf just dies
That's if they injected him with a Special type of V to bring him back, like in the comics another Supe came back to life.
I think they just wanted to give him some background so it would hit harder when he died.
He’s returning for season four yes he will be back albeit a different person under the mask. Same character same role but different identity. This version of noir may just be the homelander clone that was the twist in the comics as to who black noir truly was.
Noir was like a brother figure for homelander
2:05 Men we really have to give credit to Antony Starr for mixing multiple emotion using his expression here.
Outta all of the deaths in the boys, this has to be the saddest one yet for me, I couldn't help but just cry, his backstory, character motive, imaginary friends, all made sense. It didn't help that they replaced him in season 4.
By far the saddest death in season 3
In the whole series actually T.T
kind of sad. Noir is a bigtime villain for being a compliant tool for Homelander and Vought and also just another murderer
Antony Starr really shows how much pain he was in as Homelander as he didn't want to kill Black Noir as he fought back the tears 😥
i think HL did this for his own good, i mean a death by SB hands would be waaaaay worse, after all trap him was black noir idea, he would torture black noir for 1 last time.
I think he did that couse he was simply tried to make his father proud + he always wanted a family, and now he knew Noir was the reanson he never got one
0:01 is that the guy from fortnigh
End it all
You should go to the quarry junction in New vegas with 0 special points *NOW*
You should go to Fort Zancudo as Franklin NOW
2:25
Go to new austin as arthur in rdr2
What gets me is that Black Noir must’ve been thinking he’s a failure as he was dying. Not only did he not get a chance to take out Soldier Boy, but he was killed in one shot by Soldier Boy’s son because he didn’t tell Homelander who Soldier Boy was. But then, that soft music starts playing, and that little beaver says, “Don’t worry, Erving. We are so proud of you.” I like to think that gave Black Noir some peace as he died, knowing he had been one of the few actually good guys, and that he should be proud of himself.
Guys it's ok, if you look at the thumbnail and don't watch the video you can imagine that Homelander and Black Noir are just hugging.
Rest in peace Black Noir you were one of my favorite characters in this show. Sucks like shit that he died this way.
uh he didnt rest in peace. he burned in hell for his numerous brutal crimes
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 it seemed like a really peaceful death though, even his cartoon frens said farewell. he was pretty much a child in a deadly weapon body, brainwashed into doing things. rests in peace for sure :)
@@descree7 from his backstory, we know that he was perfectly aware of what was happening with vought and wanted to move up in the world, until he got beaten almost to death by soldier boy.
He was just being honest with home lander not trying to make him feel bad he didn’t have to kill him
Eevryone says Black Noir was 'one of the worst ones' - no he had a fucked up childhood and the only reason he was so bad is because he had unwavering loyalty and seldom knew right from wrong, only a directive. When your Leaders are Soldier Boy and Homelander then yes you will do some evil shit.
Homelander seems to be a true Mortal Kombat character the way he finishes people
And now he is in Mortal Kombat 1 haha
You know you're dead whan homelander shows emotion and puts his hand on your shoulder

1:21 this will be the closest to homelander ever bullying black noir.
Noir knew his fate. He had every chance in that final moment to defend himself.
I really don't think he even knew how unpredictable Homelanders emotional state was at that time. Noir was humble and loyal, wouldn't have fought Homelander anyways.
I think we can all agree Black Noir’s fit is incredible

Black noir was a character I really wanted the show to go deep into he’s so cool and just doing his job I felt so bad
It's interesting that the quality here is much better than watching it on prime
I'm glad they went a different direction with both Black Noir and Homelander.
So he killed him cuz he didn't tell homelander his pops was alive ?
Yep and also because Homelander is unstable af so you don’t know what he’s going to do when things don’t go his way.
Homelander? More like TRASH
He is a very lonely guy.
Xes evil and all that, but deeo down also broken, he did not had a family he was basicly the work of the company not treated him like a human, but like some subject
@@EmeralArcher Some of the most evil people can be the most broken..
@@Archon_of_Freedom_ Exactly
For those who don't know Black Noir can benchpress a dozen Mack Trucks, From this, you can estimate the Strength of Homelander. He literally killed him with his fist .💀
Indeed. Demolished Kimiko, taking the explosion point blank fromt he super terrorist, tanking bullets from MM & Hughie like nothing, and just being insanely strong, getting 1 shotted like nothing. Not even the heat vision. Makes you see how insane stormfront tanking his heatvision for a while is.
Homelander: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Black Noir: ...
Homelander: "Why?"
Black Noir: *Does this guy know I cannot fucking talk?*
Sometimes in life you’re the only one who knows everything you’ve been through and how much you’ve struggled. That’s what those imaginary friends mean. And it’s so sad to see them telling him they’re so proud of him.
No matter what anyone tells me this new noir will never replace the old one
i dont like the new one
the new one is the same actor as the old one
@@doomile6903 how. The unmasked was different face in s 3
I genuinely empathize with Black Noir because he was completely isolated, with no one to confide in. The realization that even Homelander reluctantly ended his life must have inflicted deep emotional pain upon him.
Finished season 3 yesterday and I still can't get over this
Homelader: "why didn't you tell me"
Noir: "cause you never ask till now" 😐
That cry at 2.05 from homelander you could tell he hoped noir said no, because now he has to kill him as he can't trust him no more, but he doesn't want to
Black Noir is my favorite character, it was unexpected that they made him died so easy
I cannot believe that Black Noir had the *guts* to hide Homelander's father from him
Noir in the show: sad loner
Noir in comics: literally ate a baby
That's so messed up. Black Noir was supposed to kill Homelander like in the comics not vice versa.
Yep, I'm confused about that too. Maybe series 4 will have a few surprises for us around noir......
@@cmc6040 The show has basically nothing to do with the comics
I'm probably misremembering but in all the scenes I recall, Black Noir wasn't the aggressor, and didn't harm anyone he deemed innocent. Even his going after Soldier Boy made sense. Maybe stardom would have made him a jerk, but he was probably the most pure hearted of the original 7 with the possible exception of Maeve.
Non of them were pure hearted they all did terrible things in their time we just feel empathy for Noir because we got a humanization of Irving in this season we've seen in detail what the others have done and they've done it as themselves Black Noir is under a mask most of the show when we find out that Irving isn't a scumbag that he has emotions like empathy, regret, fear you feel that much more for him so did he do terrible things yes but at his core Black Noir was not evil
you're delusional. noir was a brutal psychopath who only truly cared about himself and his own ego.
he tried to kill starlight several times for his own sick desire to please Vought.
and in the animated series, we learn he was the one who corrupted homelander and showed him he could do whatever he wanted and still have vought cover it up.
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 It's okay to disagree with (or in this case, correct) people online without being rude. I forgot the part about Starlight and I didn't know about him corrupting Homelander. You can lay out your reasoning without insulting the person you're talking to, and if you do, you'll probably find that people are more receptive to what you have to say.
Have a nice weekend!
Black Noir ate a baby...
The fact that this black noir is COMPLETLY different from the comics one still makes me sad
How does Noir survive gun shots, explosions and getting his brains smashed by Soldier Boy's shield, but die to a fist through his gut???
