Jen and I are getting married THIS Sunday! We've had a lot of stuff going on on our end trying to get ready. We're really excited and *fingers crossed* we can livestream it for everyone. Some of you were asking for our registry, so here you go for those asking: www.amazon.com/wedding/share/hardmansilverwedding We'll have a video of the wedding either way, and we've filmed a ton of movies and episodes in preparation for our honeymoon so there shouldn't be any lapse in content. We appreciate all of you and we're super excited to start this next chapter! So anyway, here's season 2 of The Boys!
Eric Kripke chose Fresca because it seemed like a drink a cult would drink. Funny thing about that Hunger Games joke, Hughie's actor, Jack Quaid, was in the first one as a tribute lol
Of course Gus Fring is the only one who can talk back to Homelander. Giancarlo Esposito plays the calm collected bad guy so freaking well. What a phenomenal actor.
The great thing about this show is that it has mastered the art of escalation. Every episode is better than the previous, and I don't see that stopping with season 3. Love it.
In regards to the religion talk in the show, I get how you feel Holden, but you gotta remember it’s important to her character. She grew up with the idea that god made her special. That shaped who she is as a person, and now she’s grappling with the knowledge that isn’t true. Not saying it’s not a little heavy handed, just food for thought.
He needs thicker skin. That’s how the majority of people view religion. This is a channel dedicated to fiction and for him to spend so much time complaining about the perception of religion is hypocritical.
@@mattb7479 eh, I skip most of his religious videos. And as much as I like Jen, I honestly miss the my friend watches series. It just isn’t the same watching Jen ramble for 7 mins afterward instead of 4 or 5 people. Miss watching Jeremy, Matt and the rest of the crew.
@@mattb7479 This is his channel, and religion is apart of him, so your the selfish one judging him, he can defend his faith, because this is his channel, ur probably not religious so you dont get it.
Congrats both on you for getting married. Can't wait to watch this season with you! Are you guys going to be watching and uploading your reactions to the new season as each episode is released or will there be some time in between it comes before you can upload it? Cheers!
Congratulations on the wedding! And you're going to love s2. So many character arcs gets more complicated, and there's some great humor. Can't wait for S3!
Jen- "I've noticed that every single episode is important, I don't think I could miss an episode and not miss something important". Imagine if you SAW an episode and missed something important.... WHOS TO SAY? You guys will like this season I think, it goes full speed every episode since the foundation of the story is there now.
Lot of good JUICY stuff to come this season, as well as some pretty good character development alongside the plot developments. I think you are both going to love it more than the first season. And congrats on (almost) being married you two! Always good when life works out for people, all the best to you both and those adorable little furr babies!
I'm glad you guys are watching season 2 cause season 3 is gonna be in june and I'm glad Holden liked the soldier boy reference because they casted him for season 3 as Jensen Ackles from supernatural
Oh man, I love that both of you are going into this season blind. I've forgotten so much of the smaller details of this series, so I'm digging going through this with you guys.
I don't think Starlight hates God. I think she just has doubts about whether or not a god actually exist. And it's not just thrown in there, it's strategically placed to show the growth of her character. It comes right before she does something Starlight in the first season would be unlikely to do; blackmail a fellow colleague. In season one she was the poster girl for naivety and had everything she thought she knew turned on its head. Makes sense the character would question everything, including God.
Right. All her life she was told she was chosen by God, and now she finds out it was not natural, it was manufactured, her faith is shaken deeply. It's not that she has turned away from God, at least I don't view it like that. It's that all the lies left her unsure about herself, and now she's finding herself and going about things how she wants to, instead of how she is 'suppose' to.
@@ghostlee6434 I can see his point of view too, given a lot of times things like a crisis of faith is presented, it is heavy handed. So it's easy to think this is too, drawing from other experiences. But in The Boys, I think it's done pretty damn well without flat out saying "people who believe in God are idiots trollolloll" I don't believe in him, but respect people who do and genuinely admire true faith.
I love the genuine shock on both of your faces. I hope the patterns vote for more things neither of you have seen. It is refreshing to know that Holden can’t just say”who’s to say” about what will happen next.
I think the 'God' thing was more so a human response to being told that you were Gods gift and then the realisation that you're not. it's still very much relevant. It may feel like that for you because you've transitioned quickly from S1 to S2, but that operates as a good reminder of where our characters are at after the wait between the two seasons.
Congratulations guys!!! I hope y’all have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon and I think I speak for all of us fans when I say that I wish you the best!!
Congratulations 🎊 I just watched your rehearsal dinner video. Its so good to see everyone together. Hope we get a wedding video. Love the channel and I wish you two a happily ever after.
@@awesomefacematt Holden knows it's Stillwell, or whoever does the editing knows because in the first watch alongs, every time Jen said Stillwater a glass of water with the name stillwell would flash on screen. I'd say Holden has either tried so much and it's not landing with Jen so he's now just letting it go, or that he's not tried at all and is just enjoying for what it is. Every time she says Stillwater i get the soundtrack for Almost Famous' band Stillwater playing in my head.....FEVER DOOOOGGGGGG!!
I'm glad this won the poll. Can't wait for you to go thru with it, considering Season 3 will be out in May. By the way, this season's finale is going to be explosive as well.
They made Stillwell an interesting character in the show but in the comics he was a very different character, and I’m glad they chose to make Edgar act like how Stillwell was in the comics so we still get to see that character.
Love this series! I love watching movies with my girlfriend and you Holden literally do the same thing when they ask about what's going on or going to happen. Also sad I missed the chance to see you guys when you came to Chicago for the Marvel experience. Keep up the great work!
Love the reaction as always!! Hope you guys have a fantastic wedding!! Also, two things, where did Jen get that water bottle and will you guys be reacting to Moon Knight?
That intro was insane, maybe you could tease the next series that wins the pole on Patreon with an intro animation like that for people on RUclips that don’t know yet, love from the uk 🇬🇧 💯
Homelander craves public approval of himself over everything else. That is the power they hold over him. He wants to be loved by the public so he has to keep who he is secret from them and if they turn on him he becomes almost useless. Nobody can hurt him, although the exploding head trick might work, so he fears nobody except Mr. Edgar who signs his paychecks. Homelander needs the love of the public for him or he becomes almost useless. That is his true weakness and if the public fears and hates him I don't know what he will do.
Holden, I am not sure if this is one of the first things or the first thing you and her both watched for the first time together and I have to say you and her post conversation was SO MUCH BETTER. (not that normally it is bad) but your genuine engagement and not being afraid of spoiling or influencing her opinion really comes through. I recommend more shows new to both of you!
Interesting note about the actor Giancarlo Esposito. In the Harley queen animated series he voices Lex Luthor. Many ppl always wondered if he should have played as Lex in a live action roll. Here his character is sorta like Lex luthor with him, a regular human wifh no powers is still able to keep homelander on a leash.
I've gotta say that I think this is the first time I've sen both of you have a surprised look on your faces when CIA Director Raynor's head exploded. Priceless reaction. 😂
A fact we don't get much from the comics about Homelander is that he has super hearing like Superman and he like to hear the heartbeat of people around him and he enjoy feeling the fear of the people he is speaking to. In the comics, Stan Edgar has another name and he is the only one homelander is terrified about cuz no matter what he says or does, Stan does not fear him one bit, his heartbeat stay steady in all occassions.
First I thought that Homelander is gonna just snap his fingers next to the guys ears to deafen him. But what he did is actually more fitting for his character
"That's what Matt said when I took him to comic con." WHERE IS THAT VIDEO, HOLDEN. AND, WHILE I'M AT IT, CONGRATS ON WHAT I'M SURE WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND WEDDING FOR YOU TWO PEOPLE I'VE COME TO LOVE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS!!!! But, seriously is there a Matt at Comic Con vid and congrats, you two. 💓
I just realized the archer is the comedian langston kerman. Really funny guy his album is on spotify and he's hilarious I highly recommend listening to it. Fun fact: he was also a teacher.
I wish you guys would watch "Banshee"! Starring the Homelander actor . A criminal becomes sheriff of a small town........crazy antics and crazier characters.
Jen....coming from a diehard DC fan, secondary Marvel fan. Also, Legends StarWars Veteran . The Boys, breaks barriers they won't. So, coming from a newcomer "The Boys" fan having just read the comics, you in for some "JUICY." *cough season 3 episode 6*
black noir has the basic set of powers, including superhuman strength (since he cracks open a guy's skull with his bare hands) superhuman durability (since he withstood an explosion that disintegrates normal humans with just a few burns) superhuman agility (since he fought Kimiko toe to toe) master of knives (which he used to slice Kimiko) and he also has some sort of intimidation skill (because his very presence makes people nervous, like that guy at the piano)
Jen and I are getting married THIS Sunday! We've had a lot of stuff going on on our end trying to get ready. We're really excited and *fingers crossed* we can livestream it for everyone.
Some of you were asking for our registry, so here you go for those asking:

So anyway, here's season 2 of The Boys!
All the best luck & love! Hope you guys have an amazing time!!!
Congrats!
I’m stopping by the livestream if you have one congratulations guys!!
just make sure it doesnt interrupt your video upload schedule
Congrats!!!
Hope y'all liked my little VFX intro! Might be my finest one yet, even if it's as dark as hell... lol. Was fun getting the old electric out as well!
Looks amazing, dude!
Looked top tier! Good stuff!
Looks good
It’s diabolical 🔥
You did a great job!
The thing about the stare down is that homelander can feel his heartbeat and understands that Mr. Edgar is truly not afraid of him
Eric Kripke chose Fresca because it seemed like a drink a cult would drink. Funny thing about that Hunger Games joke, Hughie's actor, Jack Quaid, was in the first one as a tribute lol
And not just that, he ironically is probably the most villainous of the other tributes.
the supernatural guy?
@@AmazingChi How so? He barely had a role, except for killing Rue.
@@Belnick6666 He's the show runner for The Boys, and lead head writer.
@@GenerationWest he also created supernatural
I love how Jenn is determined to call her “Stillwater”.
Glad this is a fresh watch for both of you guys.
Of course Gus Fring is the only one who can talk back to Homelander. Giancarlo Esposito plays the calm collected bad guy so freaking well. What a phenomenal actor.
Homelander should be a case study. That character is insanely interesting.
seems like a basic sociopath with random psychopathic out burst
Jen looks great as Queen Maeve! I could definitely see her pulling off a great cosplay as her
*The actor that plays gecko the regenerating man also played that kid in the onion video 'patriotic teen fails spanish' haha*
The first head explosion has made me tense throughout the entirety of Season 2.
What’s funny is Hughies actor was also in hunger games as marvel.
Love the fact that everytime Jen drinks water, something shocking happens in the episode and it shocks her.
That's Stillwater
This season is truly explosive. Can't wait for more episodes.
Heh. "Explosive". Heheheh.
It's electrifying!
Nah THAT one scene was crazy!
I see what you did there
Season 2 was crazy good can’t wait until June 3rd.
The great thing about this show is that it has mastered the art of escalation. Every episode is better than the previous, and I don't see that stopping with season 3. Love it.
In regards to the religion talk in the show, I get how you feel Holden, but you gotta remember it’s important to her character. She grew up with the idea that god made her special. That shaped who she is as a person, and now she’s grappling with the knowledge that isn’t true. Not saying it’s not a little heavy handed, just food for thought.
He needs thicker skin. That’s how the majority of people view religion. This is a channel dedicated to fiction and for him to spend so much time complaining about the perception of religion is hypocritical.
@@mattb7479 eh, I skip most of his religious videos. And as much as I like Jen, I honestly miss the my friend watches series. It just isn’t the same watching Jen ramble for 7 mins afterward instead of 4 or 5 people. Miss watching Jeremy, Matt and the rest of the crew.
@@mattb7479 This is his channel, and religion is apart of him, so your the selfish one judging him, he can defend his faith, because this is his channel, ur probably not religious so you dont get it.
It's character growth. Her character has become colder its sad but in later episodes I do remember her taking back her statement idk tho.
Congrats both on you for getting married. Can't wait to watch this season with you! Are you guys going to be watching and uploading your reactions to the new season as each episode is released or will there be some time in between it comes before you can upload it? Cheers!
Congratulations on the wedding!
And you're going to love s2. So many character arcs gets more complicated, and there's some great humor. Can't wait for S3!
Really excited for you two ! Also, I'm glad you're reacting to the show cause I didn't feel like re-watching it by myself.
Love ya !
Hell yes! This is an amazing suprise because I’m so use to reaction channels waiting long times before going onto season 2 of things
Jen- "I've noticed that every single episode is important, I don't think I could miss an episode and not miss something important".
Imagine if you SAW an episode and missed something important.... WHOS TO SAY?
You guys will like this season I think, it goes full speed every episode since the foundation of the story is there now.
I'm so happy Holden is also watching this for the first time!! It's so rare we get to see that from him. Love this season and can't wait!
I had to rewatch your reaction to her head blowing up cause it was just so funny seeing you both react the same way at the same time 😂
Did you know there's a special ep0 of s2? It's about Butcher and what he was doing between s1 and s2. You gotta watch it if you haven't already.
Damn.. I didn't know!
@@user-dz6fy6qv2l yeh a filler one. After homelander saved him Buthcher went to one of his friend.
Great reaction, hope the wedding is great, hope after all the busy stuff is done with the wedding you get to Moon Knight!
Lot of good JUICY stuff to come this season, as well as some pretty good character development alongside the plot developments. I think you are both going to love it more than the first season.
And congrats on (almost) being married you two! Always good when life works out for people, all the best to you both and those adorable little furr babies!

@@Bananahammock681 You might say her faith was built on sand
I wonder how Holden would like Preacher. I am sure Jen would love it.
@@johnb2422 Might enjoy it given the almost cartoonish depiction of the beings in it.
@@ghostlee6434 I can see his point of view too, given a lot of times things like a crisis of faith is presented, it is heavy handed. So it's easy to think this is too, drawing from other experiences.

I don't believe in him, but respect people who do and genuinely admire true faith.
Homelander is a great character. The actor needs an Emmy. He does a amazing job . Love the show
Congrats on the wedding y'all! you both deserve happiness
I love Giancarlos' character, he will not be intimidated.
Like Gus
I love the short VFX intros in the start. DMFX is a talented Dude, I noticed on alot and really adds alot
"Homelander crushing his ears head I did not see it coming"
Don't feel bad, neither did he.
11:55 FUN FACT: The actor that plays Hughie also played a character in The Hunger Games, he's the one that throws a spear at Rue.
I love the genuine shock on both of your faces. I hope the patterns vote for more things neither of you have seen. It is refreshing to know that Holden can’t just say”who’s to say” about what will happen next.

Congratulations guys!!! I hope y’all have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon and I think I speak for all of us fans when I say that I wish you the best!!
There are some Shorts about Stuff like how Butcher got there, you should watch these when you´ve finished the Main Season
Only Gus Fring can hand Homelander his lunch like that lol
Even superpowered beings fear Gus.
Congratulations 🎊
I just watched your rehearsal dinner video. Its so good to see everyone together. Hope we get a wedding video. Love the channel and I wish you two a happily ever after.
Every time jen says "Stillwater" instead of "Stillwell" I think of saints row 1 and 2
The Fresca thing is also a behind the scenes joke, like the annoying fly last season. They just want to push our buttons lol
Jen knows what's up!! Yes it's so crazy that this show makes hate these character but feel bad fir them at the same time... great writing!
Erik Kripke (the showrunner) also did Supernatural. The exploding body/red mist is his favorite effect. He uses it a lot.
Thank god y’all are getting straight into season two. I was worried you two were gonna wait for 20 years to continue the show.
Yes !! Glad you guys got into season 2 right away
Why is it still my "girlfriend watches" when it's Holden's first time seeing it too 😁🤔🤔
"That was such a mind-blowing episode..." Yeah, especially for Stillwater.
LOL jen's yay when holden said they're getting married was so cute xD so happy for you two!
Love the thumbnail!! All hail Queen Jen!!
R.I.P Still Water😢
By the way Jen & Holden, you keep referring to her as Stillwater and now I’m getting in the same habit. LOL! ITS STILLWELL! You did this to me! Haha
I can't tell if it's a 'Sparrow' type of thing or if they actually think that's her name
@@awesomefacematt who knows we all get things mixed up. As long as we’re all having fun it’s not the end of the world.
@@awesomefacematt Holden knows it's Stillwell, or whoever does the editing knows because in the first watch alongs, every time Jen said Stillwater a glass of water with the name stillwell would flash on screen.

Oh just wait there’s so much more coming I’m excited to see you both react since the both of you haven’t seen this season, it gets JUICY!
I couldn’t stand Karl Urban as an actor until this show, he’s just amazing as Butcher
Omg here we go they really turn this season up a notch!!
Interesting note about the actor Giancarlo Esposito.
In the Harley queen animated series he voices Lex Luthor. Many ppl always wondered if he should have played as Lex in a live action roll.
Here his character is sorta like Lex luthor with him, a regular human wifh no powers is still able to keep homelander on a leash.

14:34 Your reactions to both seeing something for the first time is AWESOME.
First I thought that Homelander is gonna just snap his fingers next to the guys ears to deafen him. But what he did is actually more fitting for his character
Both of y’all watching this fresh is EPIC
so glad you guys are watching this so soon
Foreshadowing with a brief shot of “Liberty” poster..as he’s leaving to meet Starlight..
15:08 I'm so used to seeing him as Gus I keep expecting him to grab a box cutter or torment Hector Salamanca.
"That's what Matt said when I took him to comic con."
WHERE IS THAT VIDEO, HOLDEN. AND, WHILE I'M AT IT, CONGRATS ON WHAT I'M SURE WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND WEDDING FOR YOU TWO PEOPLE I'VE COME TO LOVE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS!!!!
But, seriously is there a Matt at Comic Con vid and congrats, you two. 💓
Congratulations to Jen and Holden! Wish you both a wonderful married life!
I just realized the archer is the comedian langston kerman. Really funny guy his album is on spotify and he's hilarious I highly recommend listening to it. Fun fact: he was also a teacher.
Sweet, can't (definitely will) wait to binge watch this in a couple of months.
I wish you guys would watch "Banshee"! Starring the Homelander actor . A criminal becomes sheriff of a small town........crazy antics and crazier characters.
Congratulations on the wedding. I’m obsessed with seeing Jen watch homelander with the milk 🥛😂😂
@5:11 Eagle the Archer is a parody of Hawkeye.
There's a short that was released showing how Butcher escaped
Jen....coming from a diehard DC fan, secondary Marvel fan. Also, Legends StarWars Veteran . The Boys, breaks barriers they won't. So, coming from a newcomer "The Boys" fan having just read the comics, you in for some "JUICY." *cough season 3 episode 6*
Both of your reactions to Blindspot was priceless 😂😂😂
I love the whole still water thing
I just finished S2 and loved it thought last 4 episodes was just mad
6:29 that moment Jen realized what Holden was looking towards after getting married
11:57 Funny considering that Jack Quaid was in Hunger Games
black noir has the basic set of powers, including superhuman strength (since he cracks open a guy's skull with his bare hands) superhuman durability (since he withstood an explosion that disintegrates normal humans with just a few burns) superhuman agility (since he fought Kimiko toe to toe) master of knives (which he used to slice Kimiko) and he also has some sort of intimidation skill (because his very presence makes people nervous, like that guy at the piano)
Can't wait for episode 3
I miss the glasses of water in the mistaking stillwell for stillwater 😂
This season is mindblowing.
I could totally picture Matt saying that at comic con. I could also picture him saying, "Look at all this NERD SH*T!"
They really up'ed the ante on the awkward/weird Homelander moments this season, both to my enjoyment and my disgust.
That deputy director scene was mind blowing
You’re going to see Soldier Boy in season 3. He’s going to be played by Jensen Ackles from Supernatural! Can’t wait!
The Stillwater gag still never ceases to crack me up
Nobody:
jen:STILLWATER 😂
Its so fun watching holden see something for the first time. But do you know whats more fun? Watching amazons show Invincible!
Time Traveller: *throws a rock*
The timeline: *literally the thumbnail*
