Where is he getting his source of breast milk still?! Is Stillwell alive and just brain dead? So she’s basically just being harvested for her milk? Also… Paul did you ever have a theory of who Teddy’s father actually is? Homelander’s comment of “strong single mom” was always REALLY odd to me.
I just hope that the Emmys don't hold how dark this episode is against Starr's performance. It was a great episode and he plays that character so well.
Got a feeling homelander is gonna call black noir II to a meeting and say "noir take off that mask" and laser his tongue out because he got sick of him yapping.
I think having that attitude/personality is the only way anyone can survive Homelander. I don’t know if being that way earns some tiny bit of his respect or just takes the fun out of murder for him, but there’s no way I’d ever be able to even pretend to be calm in his presence. So basically Barb and Stan Edgar are the only two people he wouldn’t laser to bits. God he’s terrifying.
@@seabisquick5014 same, i was wondering watching this episode, what do you even do in such a situation when you know death is coming and you can't even do anything about it. You know when Homelander gives you a visit out of nowhere you are effed
@@seabisquick5014 though the acting about this was subtle. She came all edgarish but slightly bit by bit giving her say she started losing ground, while in the bad room holding her palaver she was no longer uppity about the outcome and lost the upper hand and no longer was sure what will happen.
Not really, Gus was always serious and calm, he barely has crazy reactions where as Homelander we’ve seen pretty much every crazy reaction there is and honestly is just impressive how good the actor is
Man, I get fucking CHILLS when he steps off that elevator, before I even seen the scene I was like...Oh.... this is gonna be diabolical. You can just read it on his face and body language and everything, Antony is so. fucking. good. man.
@@blablablabla411 you realize that you just said "not really" to someone else's own personal feelings right? 💀 all they said was that they personally felt uncomfortable with Gus' expressions and you decide to deny them that?
@@KingdomKeyJT you are making it way deep out of two words (not really) bro, I never denied anybody’s feelings what are you on😂 I just joined the conversation saying that they are two different villains, no controversy whatsoever you need to be outside a bit more if you think I’m denying somebody’s feelings by that comment buddy
Give Antony Starr every award because he's given us possibly the best villain performance ever since Heath Ledgers Joker (possibly even better than Ledgers Joker)
@@newhybrid101both perfect playing the role they in, only difference is star as nailed it 1st time round were heath nailed after decades of silly jokers, I hated batman, still do, apart from Nolan batman which is in top 10 films of all time. I absolutely hated new joker movie as joker will forever be Heath
His facial expressions are insanely good. He’s the most terrifying villain in all of TV and Movies because he’s invincible and completely unpredictable.
@@irisdaniels2318 gona nit pick? Of course he’s not. That’s what the series is leading to: his death, but to the other characters in the show, he is essentially invincible. So I’m sorry for not saying this instead: he’s almost invincible
One thing I notice is that when Marty is in pain Barbara asks home lander to put him out of his misery and he does. But when it comes to her death no one will be putting her out of her misery. She’ll have to starve or dehydrate as her psyche slowly starts to crack, essentially home lander was saving the worst death for her bc she was the one giving out the orders.
@@asdfghjklim5662 Plasma cutter, Angle Grinder, Metal Cutting Brandsaw, Call Mavis on the phone and ask her to kick the door in or one of the walls... There are ways to get past that.
I just can't help but imagine the scientists reactions as he's ripping them apart one by one. Not showing it happen but showing the after-math was the play
Antony Starr really kills this role for sure. He's the only character in the show that really can shift the tone of the show. We as the audience feel the tension of his presence as much as the characters do! He goes from reserved and torn, to methodical to diabolical, the ultimate unpredictable villain.
I grew up with villains like Jack Nicholsons joker. Homelander is on another level of bad, this dude is straight crazy. Crazier than Joker and that’s even more crazy.
I don't think there's a medium in which the Joker exists that I haven't read or watched. And I've not once felt the amount of dread or apprehension with the Joker that I did watching Homelander deliver a cake
Homelander is a tragedy, He's that kind of person who the people around failed him. The joker in Nolan's movie was straight up maniac. He believed all the bad things he was doing had a meaning in an unmeaningful way
Every scene with homelander leaves me in complete suspense and captivated! The level of intensity from a character is just incredible and it's all credited to Starr's performance and the directing of his scenes. My all time favorite antagonist! Just brilliant.
this would’ve been the perfect time for them to do the clone but they put a random guy in the noir suit so I’ve given up all hope doesn’t matter anymore😂 considering they used the comic book version of Becca‘s death as homelanders birth I think they might be going with Ryan killing him
@@Jay-Voorhees I was hoping he was a Homelander clone controlled by Sages lobotomies which is why he’s so goofy but then he said he went to a school somewhere so who knows smh
I think this is Sage's grand plan or at least part of it... -The grin she had when she said "Like Caesar" -The hesitation she had before laying out her grand plan to him (the extra second of though was probably "how do I guide this in my favor") -I think she knew very well that Homelander would force himself into Ryan's "save" and is trying to cause a divide between them -Pushing for Ryan's marketing to be "lone savior" "chosen one narrative only works if he's alone", even though she knows Homelander wants to control Ryan and have him by his side
I think Homelander is the scariest villain period. I can’t think of any other character past or present that makes my heart race like it does when he’s on screen. Antony Starr def deserves all the awards.
@@AdonisX9996 still not the same, Homelander is much scarier than Darth Vader for me. Vader has some semblance of empathy (deep down but it’s there). Also he never felt like he was absolutely out of control like Homelander is.
I would say joker when it comes to being the most iconic/best, but I definitely agree with you when it comes to Homelander being the most scary. Like that scene with Ryan in episode 3 s4 at the end had me on the edge of my seat, simply because of the lack of knowledge that I had of what Homelander was gonna do next.
“It’s satisfying but terrible too” sums up this episode’s emotional ride perfectly. I was weirdly happy for Homelander to get revenge but I also felt genuine fear while sitting there at my desk watching.
This dude literally ramps up the tension via his presence alone. The way the elevator zooms down to the basement level faster by the second then the slow ascent after the manslaughter was awesome 😅😅
The level of writing and acting it takes to make us empathize with a complete sociopath is worth _all_ the awards. I somehow like "yeah! You put that janitor in the oven, John! You're doing great sweetie...wait what am I saying"
There are so many layers to his character. He’s not just the evil villain of the week, his motivations and childhood determine his character. Anthony Starr must get an Emmy
Homelander is a very unique and complex villian. You root against him, but this episode makes you sympathize becuase of his abuse, physically and psychologically. When he lets Frank know the oven couldn't destroy him, but "it still hurt", that was top notch. I didnt even know he could feel pain.
@@naturistfred Im thinking Homelander will actually Sacrifice himself for Ryan...Not sure why ppl love the idea of a son having to kill their own father..like did u guys not have dads...I LOVE my freakin dad..And I would rather burn the world down with him, then take his life...Plus at Ryans age I dont think hes strong enough
It's frightening in a sense that Homelander was able to cut their security feed and communications, something he technically didn't even have to do. People like to clown on him but he's actually quite cunning.
Yeah, by cutting off the security system would alert others and even law enforcement. I understand why he did it because he didn't want the guard contacting anyone but still it would raise suspicion as to why the security system isn't working.
He isn't stupid. He is just emotionally broken and not use to having to work at things. You see it again and again as he half asses so many things. He doesn't seem to practice with his powers because he has never face anyone stronger than him. But he is constantly just lashing out wildly or carelessly.
The acting and writing of this season is just brilliant. I don't understand how people are finding this season as "woke", It literally attacks both sides. The boys makes fun of everything not just the right side but also the left side, it's just that now it is not as subtle as the show has become more serious.
You mentioned a baptism by blood but I also noticed (This might be a stretch) Homelander in the elevator covered in blood reminded me of what Dr. Barbara said about Homelander rising up out of his mother’s womb like some sort of creature of myth. He is now born anew, ascending as a truly fearsome creature of myth.
Brilliant episode and Antony Starr is another level. I watched him in Banshee, equally superb in that but I find it hard to believe it's the same person. Just shows how good an actor he is.
One of the best episodes of se4, you do actually feel for HL and what he went through as a kid. Cant wait to see how Hughies Dad reacts to Compound V. 🧐 Big ups Def.💯👊🏾
This whole episode showed how flawed the main characters are, we usually don’t get episodes like this until towards the end of the season. If they showing all this at the halfway mark I can only imagine what else they got planned.
How do you know barb is going to die? Didn’t get that vibe at all, felt like Homelander didn’t kill her to show her that he doesn’t care about upsetting her anymore. Plus Vought knows Homelander was there so they are gonna be there to see what happened asap.
_7:49__‐_ I totally agree with you 💯٪! So, could somebody please just give Anthony Starr a gODdamn friggin' Emmy already!?... somebody get on that please!... and I mean could somebody please get on that shit _FUCKING IMMEDIATELY!!!_
Usually Homelander scenes are tense. For once episode 4 felt more like he got to be the tension relief and it was neat to see. Seeing him get revenge on people that actually deserved it.
Starr's performance with this character is so fucking on point I don't think I could meet the man in real life without feeling a slight twinge of panic. The man is FANTASTIC at what he does.
I wonder if Barb would succumb to cannibalism (all those body parts leftover from Homelander's rampage) just to survive a few more days trapped in that room. Which makes Homelander sparing and trapping her in the Bad Room all the more horrifically calculated.
But why would she be trapped for days? The entire security system is shut down and loved ones will be looking for the staff members that Homelander killed. If anything, cops should be showing up within hours to do a welfare check.
If Antony Starr doesn’t get an Emmy for this, the Emmy’s need to be canceled. I’m already on board with canceling them because he should have multiple already for Homelander alone.
I love the tense dialogue scenes in the boys so much. You’re never bored cos there’s always a bit of tension unlike the mind numbing episode of the acolyte I just watched 💤
Doesn't even have to be Marvel or DC. Just another fantastic role we've never seen him play before. I'd honestly prefer that over another comic book franchise/supervillain.
Anthony is underappreciated for what he can bring to his roles. If you haven't seen American Gothic, it only lasts one season, but his performance was something to see. Definitely deserves more roles than he gets.
This was an Emmy performance for sure! There was a long time since I was this amazed over an actors performance in a movie or series and I feel like I watch waaaay to much tv and movies He was already really good in the role but episode 4 was top tier
I'm enjoying season 4...terrific pisstake. I do wish they would get the sound levels right. Constantly riding the volume control so I can hear the dialog and not have the speakers blow out by the explosions.
Considering Rhea Seehorn was snubbed for Better Call Saul every season, I would be really really surprised if they gave Starr an Emmy simply because the shoe's material.
Dude, Homelander back in that Vought lab scenes gave me whiplash. I was shocked at the calculated, ruthless torture but I actually said, “Man, no wonder. That’s why he is the way he is.” I had a sinister smile while he was effin them dudes up. I was gasping the entire time. It was scary that he killed off everyone, even the new faces he acknowledged that weren’t even there when he was in the lab. So this was to squash the last of his human side to eliminate any desire for love & approval?*goosebumps* That Tek Knight 🕳️ joke, Paul 😅
I don't think its going to quash his need for love and approval, I think by convincing him he's superior to himans, Sage is narrowing down his pool of people he can get love and approval from; his equals. Which he only sees in Ryan now. Who she managed to turn away from superheroing by ruining his first step into that world, thus taking away the only thing he can bond with him over (no way she didnt know that insulting Ryans costume as being too much like Homelanders would hit him in the ego and cause him to ruin Runs 'save') Im telling y'all, Sage is trying to take down Vought for giving her powers she hates, and she knows the only way to ruin them is by ruining Homelander. She just needs to push him to snap and do something neither side can support, they're suddenly terrified of him, they blame Vought, vote for the antisupe legislation, and Vought crumbles.
One thing I found really cool and I was just kind of curious about American stuff. I looked up fudgy the whale and symbolically that was actually made as a Father’s Day cake.

They let that invincible wild dog loose on the whole world, they got their just “desserts” too! 🐳

Its better than perfect casting. He fits into the roll, makes it his own and makes the character so much more menacing, interesting and dynamic
With his role as Homelander, Anthony Starr is proving to be one of the best actors of today. Not many up there can do what he's done.
My favorite character and people get mad at me when I say that yes his my favorite character and the actor has been playing it so excellent!!
Nothing wrong it. People idolize Freddy Krueger and Michael Meyers. Villains have fans too.

Could be another herogasm thing where the season peaks a bit early

His birthright name has a John…..

How do you know barb is going to die? Didn’t get that vibe at all, felt like Homelander didn’t kill her to show her that he doesn’t care about upsetting her anymore. Plus Vought knows Homelander was there so they are gonna be there to see what happened asap.
_7:49__‐_ I totally agree with you 💯٪!
So, could somebody please just give Anthony Starr a gODdamn friggin' Emmy already!?... somebody get on that please!... and I mean could somebody please get on that shit _FUCKING IMMEDIATELY!!!_
7:17 that “mostly” alone deserves the emmy
That was the sign he was a goner💀🪦
@@o.gparamount3099judging by Marty's face even he knew this
Dont think I'll ever get that end scene with Barbara out of my head...
It was perfect! Down to every last minute details.
Usually Homelander scenes are tense. For once episode 4 felt more like he got to be the tension relief and it was neat to see. Seeing him get revenge on people that actually deserved it.
"Dont let tek knight see that" nahhh 😭😭😭
the most terrifying part is that you are cheering for Homelander at that part, THEY made him.
One of the best actors I've ever seen, great video Paul, :)
excellent video the new season is being great
Thank you
@8:49 man I hope MT is ready to step up
Starr's performance with this character is so fucking on point I don't think I could meet the man in real life without feeling a slight twinge of panic. The man is FANTASTIC at what he does.
I still want to know what those scientists were doing in that lab, since Homelander left years ago...
Just hanging out?
He is even great in the TV show Banshee.
2:30 well that's a dark insight in to your headspace
I wonder if Barb would succumb to cannibalism (all those body parts leftover from Homelander's rampage) just to survive a few more days trapped in that room. Which makes Homelander sparing and trapping her in the Bad Room all the more horrifically calculated.
That was my first thought...First she eats them..Then losing her mind..Then dies of thirst.
But why would she be trapped for days? The entire security system is shut down and loved ones will be looking for the staff members that Homelander killed. If anything, cops should be showing up within hours to do a welfare check.
@@naturistfred Vought will likely cover it up as usual before the police get involved
The way Marty's smile just drops when Homelander says "mostly," he just knows he is in trouble.
I’m still pondering this episode… oh my goodness.
This show is shaping up to be the Anthony Starr show (with respect to all the other cast members who are fantastic also).
About the whole forgiveness theme, you could also maybe say that butcher’s test in that sense is whether or not he’ll be able to forgive himself
Check out the series called Banshee with Anthony Starr where he also displays his acting range. He is definitely deserving of an award.
oh, don't act so surprised; this series has always had great casting
He was fantastic in Banshee. That should have been an Emmy back then!
One of the best episodes for sure.
His performance in this episode was amazing. The first 3 episodes were rocky af imo, but this one was great
If Antony Starr doesn’t get an Emmy for this, the Emmy’s need to be canceled. I’m already on board with canceling them because he should have multiple already for Homelander alone.
I love Starr and he deserves his nominations but he'll be in a tough category. The actors on the show Succession alone are hard to beat.
Starr deserves a Emmy
A monster created by monsters.
What a brilliantly conceived idea by Vought.
I love the tense dialogue scenes in the boys so much. You’re never bored cos there’s always a bit of tension unlike the mind numbing episode of the acolyte I just watched 💤
Homelander in Episode 4 season 4, has been the only good thing so far this season
Great point
If he somehow gets a chance in either any Marvel or DC movies, i am sure he absolutely gonna nail any character he gets...
Doesn't even have to be Marvel or DC. Just another fantastic role we've never seen him play before. I'd honestly prefer that over another comic book franchise/supervillain.
Anthony is amazing he played twins in outrageous fortune the newzealand smash hit
He’s always been perfect as homelander
Also, a small really good detail was Barbara telling homelands to put Marty out of his misery.
Anthony is underappreciated for what he can bring to his roles. If you haven't seen American Gothic, it only lasts one season, but his performance was something to see. Definitely deserves more roles than he gets.
And Banshee too
I can't wait to see him to take over the White House in Season 5!
This was an Emmy performance for sure!
There was a long time since I was this amazed over an actors performance in a movie or series and I feel like I watch waaaay to much tv and movies
He was already really good in the role but episode 4 was top tier
I'm enjoying season 4...terrific pisstake. I do wish they would get the sound levels right. Constantly riding the volume control so I can hear the dialog and not have the speakers blow out by the explosions.
for a sec I was tripping and thought the title said: Why Antony Star Wars
In fact, take the r from Starr and add it to Was and then you’ll get Star Wars lol
Considering Rhea Seehorn was snubbed for Better Call Saul every season, I would be really really surprised if they gave Starr an Emmy simply because the shoe's material.
❤Great breakdown
Dude, Homelander back in that Vought lab scenes gave me whiplash. I was shocked at the calculated, ruthless torture but I actually said, “Man, no wonder. That’s why he is the way he is.” I had a sinister smile while he was effin them dudes up. I was gasping the entire time. It was scary that he killed off everyone, even the new faces he acknowledged that weren’t even there when he was in the lab. So this was to squash the last of his human side to eliminate any desire for love & approval?*goosebumps*
That Tek Knight 🕳️ joke, Paul 😅
Haha thanks Toni 🙌
I don't think its going to quash his need for love and approval, I think by convincing him he's superior to himans, Sage is narrowing down his pool of people he can get love and approval from; his equals. Which he only sees in Ryan now. Who she managed to turn away from superheroing by ruining his first step into that world, thus taking away the only thing he can bond with him over (no way she didnt know that insulting Ryans costume as being too much like Homelanders would hit him in the ego and cause him to ruin Runs 'save')
Im telling y'all, Sage is trying to take down Vought for giving her powers she hates, and she knows the only way to ruin them is by ruining Homelander. She just needs to push him to snap and do something neither side can support, they're suddenly terrified of him, they blame Vought, vote for the antisupe legislation, and Vought crumbles.
@@bloodyneptune I love your reply! Sage is a dope curveball
Thanks!
thanks so much mate
Seriously the whole episode my heart was in my mouth
*If you ever watched Banshee, you already knew how crazy Stark can be*
One thing I found really cool and I was just kind of curious about American stuff. I looked up fudgy the whale and symbolically that was actually made as a Father’s Day cake.
