Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name.

Knowing that homelander can control the intensity of his heat visions makes this so much more grim, he WANTED her to feel that
Yep. Could have completely vaporized her in an instant but took his time. Sadistic monster he is.
Makes you think. If he could control his heat vision this entire time, then on the airplane he purposely cut through the terrorist holding the pilot hostage and lasered the plane control dash.
@@Neuromancer2020 yes, he did it to push supes into the military, he even explains it later in the show
She didn't even make a sound, I don't think she had time to feel anything.
@@BGatts666 Yeah, she did. She gasped while his lasers were boring a hole through her skull. I'd say if she gasped then she was feeling something...at least for a second.
This is the perfect reversal of the "villain holds hero's loved ones hostage" trope.
Only butcher is no fucking hero
There are no heroes in that scene
@@zaberfang Well, we do have an anti-hero here. And an anti-villain, if you squint your eyes really hard. And their position is reversed, so yeah- this both excellent reversal and a neat deconstruction of heroic story cliche.
@@africacorpse8010 I wouldn't call homelander an anti-villain.
@@KruggKruscherp That's why I said about squinting. He could be considered anti-villain from the perspective of his facade, beneath which is an evil blood knight.
Killing Madelyn was butchers way of hurting homelander and then homelander kills her himself…Damn.
Oh well… *Boom*
It did end up hurting homelander mentally later on so I think butcher still kinda succeeded just not how he probably envisioned
@@boney2982on the other hand it turned homelander into an even more destructive psychopath, butcher must be feeling really silly
@@lightmodesupremacy7321how did losing stillwell make him more psychopathic? That's just who he is
@@whyintheworldamiallowedsuc400 she had control on him, i mean its not really permanent but there could have been alot they could've done while he was still under her, or on top of her.
Homelander's most impressive feat is being able to split his focus on both her eyes at once. He must be great at those magic eye pictures.
It's called stereoscopic sight.

@@oliverplayz803 Apparently being educated is for clowns and nerds
I mean you can just focus on something beyond her
damn butcher really went through wit bombing himself and the baby knowing homelander would survive 😂
Dude knows that it would be worse than death if he is captured alive. Homelander can find a superhero that can heal and chop butchers limbs and reattach it or make butcher unkillable but feels pain a thousand times worse. There are a thousands of way to make a man suffer.
@@Kopie0830 except he didn't do that
@@namekiz3199 would you be willing to risk that ? ...
@@Kopie0830homelander isnt the type. He might rip off a leg for pain but i think he would kill you quick.
@@Asghaad My thoughts exactly. Against a n overpowered dude that is spiteful, vengeful, petty and pretty much a grown up 5 years old, you wouldn't want him getting medieval on you and torturing you endlessly.
Butcher is so traumatized he didn't even flinch when he saw lazers going into her head
A hard lad
I didnt flinch at all gory scenes in this series. Does that count as traumatized? Lol
@@HuyGaming96that's different! That happened in front of him!
@@HuyGaming96You already know that it's fiction, duh!
yeah the dude have kill so many supers, that is not new for him
Geezus, Elisabeth Shue is almost 60. Talk about winning the genetic lottery.
No wonder Homelander wanted that exotic dinosaur milk
She drinks a smoothie of aborted remains mixed with a lemon plus the peel.
Look up Ming Na Wen
@@feetwithtoesjoe8875 yea she’s super good looking for her age
WAIT A MINUTE, That's Jennifer from Back to the Future 2!?
it’s crazy he killed her slowly he could have just as easily made it instantaneous with his eye vision but he made sure she felt it before going
she actually died feeling no pain 😁
@@loxx2536maybe seeing that the lasers melted her brain
@@loxx2536you can see her gasping outta pain. So no, she felt something
@@latayeshabut I’m wondering why she only gasped rather than screamed? I mean I’m no doctor so there may be a sense of medical realism there but it still seemed way quieter than it should’ve been.
@@knyte8706 IDK. Maybe she died before she could scream? Maybe the writers added it because it's a little more creepy & ominous!
@4:26 the exhale and deep breathe was the sorrow quickly extinguished, and he gets back to the dominance of the situation Butcher realises he's in. This is what level of power I have and there is no leverage you have. Brilliantly executed by Antony Starr. but with resolute calm and determination.
Antony Starr sucks, even if he plays a Good character I’ll still see him as an aHole
doing tricks and flips on it

Geez it’s terrifying how Homelander was in complete control of the situation from the start. He commands the conversation even though Butcher thought he’d be in charge by having Madelyn strapped to the chair.
It's a TV show
@@michaelthearchangel4646 correct
@@michaelthearchangel4646 "it's a tv show"
If something like that happened in real life I doubt things would have played differently, let's say butcher tried to argue with homelander here, he would have killed butcher and then Madelyn, what happened on the "tv show" was the best scenario possible since in the end, homelander even saved butcher.
@@GuitarHeroKing500000 it's a tv show though, fake, not real
@@michaelthearchangel4646 Oh I almost took the bait lmao, too bad you revealed your intentions.
"Eye-frying" a woman's face was done in a similar scene from Alan Moore's first superhero work, which is in a 1982 British magazine called "Warrior". A twisted supe like Homelander does it to his secretary just to show another supe that he doesn't care about anything, that he's beyond human.
Moore's work in this magazine is what got the attention of DC Comics, and the rest is history.
The magazine also had "V for Vendetta".
"just to show you I don't mind doing that sort of thing. In fact I rather enjoy it! That's what I'm going to do to your wife!
..."kimota"...
I still have the whole series🤗
@@chodeshadar18 I feel lucky that I bought the British magazines 40 years ago. I talked to David Lloyd, artist of "V for Vendetta" a few years ago about working on the magazine, and his face lit up in a smile. He said that before that, no one was able to work on their own projects.
Which issue is it?
@@WOTUSuperheroUniverse I think it's #4
Garth Ennis (who wrote comics) is also british. But way less classy.
Homelander definitely left teddy in the house 😂😂😂
He didn’t. You find out later he dropped him off in some field or sum shit
@@kayveethegoat1573 And how would he be able to do that when he was busy pulling Butcher to safety? Unless you are saying Homelander is able to clone himself.
And as it turns out, he did not. Teddy teleported himself away from the house. A bit sudden but makes way more sense than Homelander rescuing a baby he hates.
They show in season 3 that the kid could teleport. So Homelander saved Butcher and the baby had to save himself
Teddy had teleportation abilities. Homelander left him to die but he teleported himself away to the middle of nowhere 17 miles from the house. He was picked up by Vought and put in an orphanage for super powered kids we see in season 3
@@auschwism2561 Typical Homelander fashion, letting a baby to die
I think Homelander respects him because he is a part of the few that's not afraid of him.
a part?
No, he just wants to see him suffer from his failure, he did the same at the end of season 3 when his son also chose him instead of Butcher.
I love how butcher is watching this relationship between Homelander and Madelyn like “what the fuck is this….”
Fairly certain homeland would’ve saved her if she ain’t keep talkin bout “take teddy upstairs “ 😭
@@rocknrollmilitantShe could have if she had said she loved him and that the love was real, he was mostly upset about that
@@Winskl9010 He can tell if you are lying to him (unless you are Butcher or Stan Edgar) because he can see and hear your blood pressure.
@@Kaptime
He can only tell if you are lying by a raised heartbeat but he has no way of distinguishing between Madeline’s raised heartbeat due to fear of the bomb or her raised heartbeat from lying.
So in other words he can’t tell if she’s lying in this moment because her raised heartbeat is still explained by the bomb.
In this specific circumstance Madeline could have lied and potentially got away with it as her heartbeat will by high even if she’s telling the truth. He can’t tell.
The fear Madelyn must have felt before that especially for her child
This is one of the most unsettling sequence of the entire series.
Its so well done its almost dumb how good it is
A kiss on the forehead means goodbye.
Yeah I think she knew she wasn’t getting out of there, when she gave him that last look she looked defeated
This is true.
Every time I'm done with her.. I kiss your Mom on forehead Good-bye.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will go to my grave believing that Compound V should have been Madelyn's breast milk. That's why she was constantly pumping. That was her mutant power. And why Homelander was so powerful.
So basically mother’s milk from the comics? He has to constantly drink his mom’s breast milk to stay alive due to his powers.
@@Pantsinabucket he... what?
@@greasybumpkin1661 Garth. Ennis. 'Nuff said.
Butcher was like : I have nothing to lose anyways "oh well" 😏
You know what I just realized. Butcher willingly pulled the trigger on that bomb knowing there was a fricken baby right there beside him. And had NO KNOWLEDGE of its teleportation powers. Really shows his judge of character.
Butcher thought Homelander actually cared about someone other than himself. Cute 😂
I WOULD die if a guy did this to me 😍💕💕
i mean... you WOULD tho
@@Cheezeblade YEAH omg I'd LITERALLY MELT to pieces 🥰😍💘✨️
@@redaria505 aria, YES. ANYONE would actually melt, when you're being literally melted.
@@redaria505 how is your pussycat! ?
Never had anyone stare so deeply into my eyes. Really took her breath away too.
Amusing, he chides Butcher for doing this based off of feelings and that's basically his whole character arc, throwing giant tantrums when his feelings are in any way jostled.
“You are dark…and I kind of like it” literally the start of any dark romance novel 😂😂😂
In the comics he wouldn't dare do this to James stillwell.
Comics homelander was forced to go insane and was ultimately not the big bad of the story but this one chose to be a psycho
And is definitely the biggest threat out there
In the comics isn't James stillwell and the ceo of Vaught the same?
@@db5094 Madelyn Stillwell is meant to be a gender bent version of James Stillwell
Unfortunately tv Homelander doesn’t have the same weaknesses as the comic version-comics vought had contingency plans for comic Homelander while tv Vought have nothing against tv Homelander
@@sentry1996 no but I mean, I dont know the character name but the ceo of vaught, the one who's actor played Gus Fring, who is he in the comics? I assumed they split James Stillwell's character into the gender bent version and the other character
@@db5094 “Stan Edgar” is actually the first CEO of Vought in the comics, he’s an unseen bad guy who controls everything from the shadows but supposedly died early on in the comic series
But yes your right, his live action self seems to be modelled more after Stillwell’s comic self (After Mr Edgar died in the comic Stillwell replaced him, in the tv show it’s the other way around)
To anyone wondering why Stan doesn't give Homelander any respect, this is why.
This is actually respectable, bc he outsmarted butcher and pulled a uno reverse card 😂who cares what Edgar respects, the man is a whole hypocrite himself
Butcher going through with it knowing that none of it will do anything really highlights that his obsession with homelander is not about revenge but about his own self destruction and complete disregard for others as well (the baby)
Sidenote: light spoilers: we learn that the baby was found safely far away. Presumably homelander saved them both, but actually the baby has teleportation powers we see him later at the superkid baby store teleporting all over the place, scaring hughie. The caretaker says his name.
read the comics, all the charachters are that bit darker even more effed up than the TV show!
I liked it when Homelander was drinking Madelyn's milk, didn't like it so much when he fried holes right through her eye sockets.
Pretty sure she felt the same way about it
Yeah the 180 turn was definitely out of nowhere, but in a good way for the story
Honestly, that was about the nicest way Homelander could've killed her. I doubt she even had a split second to feel the pain - he instantly fried her brain before it had time to recognize the damage to the optic nerves.
Idk she gasped
she gasped, so she obv wasn't dead in a microsecond. maybe she did feel pain.
@@thecursedqueen9185postmortem reaction. she was obviously dead when she let out the gasp, just air escaping the lungs. not uncommon
@@maximusmarcus2277 if the air is *escaping* the lungs, then why did she gasp (which is like inhaling) instead of exhaling?
@@thecursedqueen9185 i misunderstood. i meant sigh, meaning exhaling. if she inhaled, then i have no fucking idea. definitely looked and sounded like an exhale though
Homelander is one of the best villains ever
Butcher is the embodiment of balls.
idk he looks like a human to me
Homelander actually is a hero if you think about it. He saved butchers life lol. That’s gotta count right?
He is actually a good guy who just wants to live something that he couldn't, with his son, something that people didn't want him to live then, and now.
If you actually think about it he is a great person, maybe even the best person the world has ever gotten and with the help of Vought International which Homelander is the CEO now, we could have more people like him. To protect us.
@@juanignaciosala9414I can’t tell if you guys are joking or if your serious 😂😂😂
definetely, and gave him a chance to come back with an awesome rematch ;) if u know wat i mean for ppl who saw the later episodes =>
Well the hero is supposed to save the hostage and catch/kill the villain, he kinda did it completely wrong lol
Yes
Later in the show, it is shown that the baby, now grown, has the power to teleport at will. That is most likely how he survived. It is also implied he is Homelander's other son, and he may play a major role later in the series. Maybe a showdown between brother vs brother.
Is that bs you just made up
@@ZachAsaDno he’s the weird kid when Hughie visits the superhero orphanage
He's not Homelander's son though
Bro homelander saved the baby
@@javatrolling390which episode
That “shut the fuck up “ line went hard tho
Yep
actually he killed her quickly and it was not slow he wanted to control the amount of chaos his vision would make while also destroying the brain which allows pain in the first place.
Yeah no he didnt mr headcanon
the most heroic thing homelander has ever done is to save butcher
and that was just to show him his wife is alive and essentially cause him more pain lol
Most likely as a bargaining card. In exchange for letting Butcher live, Becca would have to allow Homelander to visit Ryan
That's because he didn't want him to die
1:29 It's crazy how I had the same exact reaction at the same exact time as Homelander
I Love the "¡SHUT THE F*CK UP!" from Homelander to Madelyn HAHA (1:27)
You can see on his face how he is uncomfortable with taking her life but he still goes through with it because he is more scared of being seen as vulnerable or weak, he’s rather kill people for no reason even if they mean a shred to him before being one upped… sounds like homelander
This scene and the following one caught me completely by surprise and totally sold me on the series!
Another example of the amazing writing from The Boys!
Honestly Butcher lost 100% here. Even at the end he’s like “oh well” with his smirk, but Homelander would survive unfazed and Butcher would be blown up. A rather pathetic death I’d say.
Butcher lost only because his plan failed but actually he won homelanders respect enough for him to save butcher and show him Becca was still alive to also say.. yes I raped her and yes she had my kid and then drop him off at some random restaurant, life spared. The baby teleported when explosion occurred.
He knew he lost, that's why he tried to kill himself. I wouldn't want Homelander to get his hands on me either. I'd kill myself first lol
the acting in this is so perfect
God dam Antony Star just fucking steals the screen in every scene of this show.
Madelyn never strikes me as an actual villain, her entire character is more like a devout capitalist and everything she does is to make sure her company is always on top, of course that doesn’t make her a good person but I had the impression that she knows where the line is. She didn’t approve Homelander killing the ambassador, she never sends the Supes to do jobs that might cause casualties, she wasn’t responsible or even aware of the deliberate creation of terrorist Supes, it’s always Homelander who went overboard and she didn’t question him (but to be fair, who else dares?)
I actually like Madelyn character and I think she didn’t deserve that gruesome end, she just unfortunately got caught between Butcher’s vendetta and Homelander’s disturbing nature
I also like her and never saw her as a villain, for me she was actually just a normal morally grey aged mother amidst this Supe epic avenging havoc and getting a very unfortunate yet somewhat expected ending
I mean, she’s pretty damn complicit. Maybe she wouldn’t do the things the Supes do herself, but that’s also because she simply can’t.
She doesn’t really care about how flight 37 went down, or homelander killing the ambassador, or any of the collateral the supes get up to, she just worries about the business fallout. Homelander weaponizing supe terrorists might’ve shook her for a moment, but she understands that in the end it helps Vought’s bottom line and especially their influence - if she had lived past the same night she learned about it, I’m sure she would’ve fallen right in line.
Plus, I know her weird step-mom-y sexual relationship with Homelander is mainly her ploy to keep him under her control, but you can tell she enjoys parts of it as well. Which is pretty sick minded when you know exactly who homelander is and all the things he’s done. I don’t think even a “morally gray” person would be so comfortable with their relationship.
The actor who portrays homelander does such a good job, I often dream of pummelling him (his character not the actor) - the sign of talent in my eyes KEEP THAT SH!T UP!!! 😂🔥🤘
I really want him to be cast as Wolverine when they inevitably recast the character.
@@BaneSIlvermoon that would never work wtf???
@@dontmindmejustyourlocalret3029 I see you're unfamiliar with Antony Starr. He'd be a great choice.
@@BaneSIlvermoon Antony starr as homelander was the best choice ever made and none can do it like him, but idk about wolverine? maybe if he grows a beard or something but idk. Maybe im wrong though and he can do wolverine
@@dontmindmejustyourlocalret3029 Ever seen him in his personal life? He typically sports a beard quite similar to Logans in his day to day.
How the fuck is butcher still smirking at the end 😭😭
Because he wants to die.
He respects the play.
He might have thought that he made Homelander go insane and ‘ruined his life’ by manipulating him into killing stillwell. Or was just putting on a show to scare homelander.
Tbh Homelander makes sense as to why he hates Teddy so much. Babies crying is evolutionarily designed to frustrate you, imagine that with super hearing. Plus seeing a baby getting brought up the way you never did, especially when Homelander was essentially tortured all his childhood, would be upsetting. He just wanted to be a hero in the beginning. Vought could have had a hero genuinely good and like superman. Instead they turned the most powerful Supe on the planet into an unfeeling, cold monster.
I find it rather hilarious what the super powered individuals of this world get away with.
wait till you find out what the super powerful individuals of *this* world get away with.

Who gone stop them?
Damn so homelander is fast enough to get them both out during the explosion
I love the line delivery of that "wooow you you are dark"
Homelander is just perfect. Wow!
Butcher and Homelander are like Batman and Joker perfect combo
Squeezed the truth out of him, thats why he was in a chair in s2
1:35 how polite of Homelander to excuse himself to politely deal with the disturbance before politely returning to business with Butcher.
This is what happens when you get sketchy laser eye surgery.
Poor homelander hated that baby from the jump
40 years later, Ally from the karate kid ends up getting her brains fried out.
“You are dark and I kinda like it” is one of my favorite lines in the show so far
Butch really should have had this recorded and streamed, huh?
I'm pretty much certain this is going to be one of Homelander's Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1.
This show is so perfect
When you want Lasik done…..a little too quickly.
Sometimes justice is a helluva thing. Brutally ugly, yet peaceful in simplicity.

Homelander loved Madelyn “intensely”
I don’t understand why she didn’t scream or anything, like her eyes are literally melting
The part of the brain that registers pain was as well. She was dead before that death rattle escaped.
Homelander tried to come off as unbothered but this genuinely hurt him
I have a feeling this will be a fatality for Homelander in MK1
I thought it said Homelander fires Madelyn but i read it a second time and it said Fries and I’m like oh now that makes sense
Homelander is the best tbh👏👏
3:17 LOL! He’s like, “I’m sorry? That doesn’t make any sense. WHAT? 😂
3:51 - With that dark shot it might have been a bit more terrifying if for a second the camera angle stayed on her face then revealed her final horror in a deep red light from Homelanders laser eyes activating then quickly cut to the beams killing her.
Scene city can u make a playlist for the boys
Whorst is Homelander is in most things right. They used him, make him insane, tortured him as kid. That clone kid has trully more care than him. Homelander is not evil. He is broken. Based on lore he tried to be good at start, but they gaslighting him at start, torture him mentally. Vough start to get him serious only after time, when he was start to be trully dangerous and unstable.
If you murder someone who is a friend, that's asking for help, that's evil
No. Both things can be true. He can be a victim of manipulation, and be evil and not worthy of sympathy. They’re not mutually exclusive
Geez , guess estrogen really manage to rotten this generation. Learn some accountability ffs. What define u is what u do towards others and not what others do to u.
I'm so fucking tired of this
"He isn't evil he's broken" trope. So overused and cliche. It's obvious The Boys don't want this to be a description of Homelander. They intend for hin to be evil.
@ayo5680 He is evil but that doesn't change the reason why he's evil which is his abusive and manipulated upbringing.

Looks more like Brutality, similar to Kano in MK11

" that's f*cking raw "
There is a similar concept in the movie “El Mariachi”
Well that was an interesting method of killing by Homelander,
*sigh*
I'm going feed you your own heart.
You know for some strange reason Homelander gives me those same toxic high school jock vibes that Bryce Walker from 13RW gave me.
I read "fires" at first lol
Man that is some transition to the outro lol
Butcher was like damn bro, am cold but you are frozen!
I love how Homelander says “you care more about that fucking baby than you care about me” as if that’s supposed to be a bad thing.
I think this is going to be his Fatality or Brutality in Mortal Kombat
1:35 Homelander excuse himself, shows the respect he has towards Butcher.
That was satisfactory
Homelander played a reverse UNO 😬
He shut off his milk supply
3:53 Guess what? He did this to Liu Kang now!
I knew it was going to happen, but I also expected him to end Stormfront
Well homelander took care of Daniel Larussos ex girl from karate kid 😂😂
That little intake of breath from stillwell just a moment after the beam hit her eye. stunningly realistic.
100% going to be one of his fatalities in MK1.
Exactly what I am talking about.. Sorry 🙄🤣
No one is going to talk about how she died, Injustice style?
