Being a side character in The Boys gotta be a death sentence. I swear, I blinked and completely missed Dusty's death. I only realized he was dead when I read it on the wiki and was like "Oh shit, when he did he die?"
I noticed his death, but heck, they never looking for him or mentioning him after they woke up. Somehow, his existence instantly gone in their head. Maybe it is what the director want for us to feel, but a little talk like "hey, who is he? Is he dead?" would be nice for the audience.
He is charismatic and genuine from the start. Instantly hooked to his side from the first episode. Unless the finale has a plot twist on him, i doubt we will move from his side.
Some people like Cate but after its revealed what she was doing to Golden Boy, she instanty became a villian in my eyes. I hope she gets whats coming to her.
I think she redeemed herself after killing Shetty, but now she has the same ideology as homelander Not one of the new characters in this show feel genuinely evil, atleast from the main cast of protagonists, they're all born out of their circumstances, and they make them into bad people.
@@OlTimeyChara being molded by circumstances doesn't exclude you from being evil. Homelander wasn't born a sadistic sociopath, he's that way because he was raised by vought. At the same time, he's completely, 100% evil

I still suspect Cate was manipulating Golden Boy the whole time. What we see here is either how she remembers things, or what she wants to show the rest of the group. They could’ve had an interaction before this where she put him under her spell. It’s a little TOO conviennent that the one person who can control the most powerful supe at that school just so happens to be dating him.
@@kevinescobar370 Would that be blood doping? Either way, I think they recognized the potential and decided to manufacture him. Brink seemed to have taken a special interest in him- I'm sure he's getting a payout for producing such a strong super. It was said Blue Hawk and A Train trained under him as well.
@swordsman1137 bro, she destroyed his brain over and over, while fucking his best friend. Minimizing ehat she did because she was "following orders" is a purely bitch response.
The saddest part about this is that it isn't even the real Luke saying any of this; it's Andre and Cate's guilt collectively manifesting to form this version of Luke because they want to be punished for what they did to him.
Whats crazy is that immediately after this, and for the entire rest of the show, all of the characters complain about how terrible and awful Cate is but every single person completely forgets that Andre is just as fucking bad. They just forget about this entire scene and Andre takes the moral high ground over Cate in every interaction and this isn't mentioned even once by ANY of them.
To be fair Andre cheating with Cate is nowhere near as bad as all of the murders that Cate did after this episode. It makes sense that they are focusing on the child concentration camp underneath the school and the murder spree since that's a more serious issue than the couple's drama.
I knew from the beginning Kate was a bad person when she jumped into bed with her bf's best friend a whole 24 hrs after her bf had died. Only to later find out she was cheating on golden boy the whole time while wiping his memory weekly probably the reason for his mental break. Turns out the school, his mentor (brink) , his gf and his best friend were all using him and betraying him. Not to mention Kate was letting his mind break thinking his brother was dead while he was laying next to him in a lab probably twice a week maybe more. It's too bad cause golden boy seems like a good person and seemed like someone who could of helped take homelander down. Not saying he was as strong as homelander but was definitely up there in the queen mave level I'ld say. And seemed like a good person from the first night they all went out and he was cool to Marie when the rest didn't seem to want to give her the time of day.
Imagine if golden boy got in the seven seeing him essentially a polar opposite of homelander would of been interesting assuming homelander doesn't try to immediately kill him
You’d think that with all this youth yielding godlike powers, they’d have someone WAY stronger or at least smarter/skilled to patrol the school. Like a Homelander flying around campus, instilling fear in order to keep them all in check. For their own good of course.
That’s honestly kind of OP if you think about. She’d be a glass cannon but she can essence trap you in her mind where you basically have no way of fight back and then kill you. Might argue gets any stronger she could basically kill anyone in 1v1.
Luke was legit the most tragic character here. He was a genuinely decent guy who wanted to help his brother, and everyone around him just used and manipulated him.
Golden Boy had so much potential. He was done dirty in Season 1 I was hoping to see more of him grow throughout the series. He will be a key factor in bringing down Homelander if only he was alive and right in the head fuck Cate.
First Cameraman on point Second most unrealistic part of this show is that the big reveal video played and there wasn't at least 15 mins of trouble shooting to get them all to work.
God when you know the actor who plays golden boy is Arnold Schwarzenegger, he looks so much like him it's crazy.. Well not so crazy, he's his son but still
Why is death so fucking cheap in these shows? Being cheated doesn't make people homicidal, there are so many examples of so many deaths meaning nothing. Hughie's mom is responsible for four innocent people dying and she doesn't even have to get over it, it's whatever. Neuman's young daughter just murders a few guards and is barely mentioned, and they still act as if she's just a normal child.
I just wanna know why is it that every time someone catches their partner cheating they always go after the person they’re cheating with instead of the person who actually broke their heart?
So why are they trying to fight against him? They literally questioned Andre at the start and seem to be on Luke's side , but when he starts glowing they wanna attack him? That makes no sense lol especially that she wanted to pop his shit or whatever she was planning , not that it could have worked cause he is too durable for that but the intentions were there
feel like the telekinetic guy had a crush on Golden Boy. maybe just Chilling Adventures of Sabrina rubbing off on my judgement. but if he's straight. not healthy. lol

Golden boy was the character furthest from homelander. He was honestly probably more like Superman
Although he did try to kill Marie
@@MadMax-de5uhhe wasn't right in his head at that time

Really tragic. Golden boy was the closest to Superman in the Boy’s universe and he died with everyone around him failing/betraying him.
closest to superman while showing him being several lightyears from being as good as Ultraman.

Andre was down bad betraying the Bros before Hoes code like that
Thats why they hooked up so easily and immediately. Ever noticed they hooked up like it wasnt exactly their first time doing so?
Golden Boy was the weapon she had to keep under control. Andre' s who she loved.
Poor Golden Boy. I wish he got a bunch of real companions who would never betray him, just like the Strawhats towards Robin
Luke wouldn't, that's why he tried so hard to get him back. They were the only real people to each other. It's so messed up
so Dusty is just kinda dead? they completely forgot his existence lol
Yeah, I had that same question.
They had to fill the deaths/gore quota I guess
He’s completely useless so who cares
@@jckun100that’s what i immediately thought when they all stepped thru the portal

I felt so bad for Luke. He deserved better friends

True with no backstabbers
It's so weird that no one talked about Dusty's death as if he didn't exist
No one cares about him. His body is probably still in his house, rotting.
Why luke is like this, isn’t he a good guy

Dam it was even before then😭
Dusty: "Out of My way Counts"
Butcher: "Hey, Don't Steal My Line"
More like "Oi Sonny Don't me lines"
He looked so much like Arnold in this episode, the way he walked
The Best Character in Gen V was Golden Boy the whole time. His plot, backround and personality.... and he's been dead since the first ep.
Sooooo...No one is going to talk about Dusty and where is he in the real world? LOL!!!! He just disappeared.
