Karen Fukuhara is killing it as Kimiko, the subtle looks she was giving Frenchie all episode were so meaningful, especially when we find out the Lamplighter story, showing she understood the pain Frenchie was going through as being similar to the pain she went through with her brother.
It's a little sad how much Homelander steals the show in that regard, because he's also so damn good with his subtle facial expressions. But yeah, Kimiko is mute but you still always know what's going on within her. Takes a lot of talent to portray a mute character with so much depth.
42:04 I’m pretty sure it’s that Homelander is the most powerful Supe they ever made and that’s why he’s seen as their “most prized possession”. It wasn’t that he was “The First Supe” but rather that he’s “The Best Supe”.
42:40 that’s the thing... I genuinely don’t think homelander is racist... atleast not in terms of skin color or religion.... cause he doesn’t care if you are white, black, gay, straight, atheist, Muslim...... you are beneath him.... even if you have powers, you are beneath him... In his world, HE is number one, and no one stacks up to be his equal. Sure he might use some racist terminology or pick on your differences, but he’ll do that to literally everyone.... his interest is PURELY for his audiences attention.
You guys didn't understand the Stormfront reveal completely. She is the wife of the founder of Vought. She is Vought. She doesn't work for Edgar, Edgar works for her.
@@NarutoUG it most likely was, Lamplighter in the series is like a rip-off of Pyro from the X-Men, who was Iceman's arch enemy or whatever in the films haha
A lot of the supes have different abilities. Some are bullet proof like starlight but not all like the kid that flipped the truck with hughie in it. And the reason cindy got out was stormfront told lamplighter to clean up this mess and left. Lamplighter just left right after her. He said forget this and bounced.
If you are wondering about the dirt Marjorie had on Lamplighter that was shown in those pictures she had. The producers confirmed that it was related to the inscription in Lamplighters Zippo Lighter. Apparently he had been in a relationship with a m1nor.
22:00 He clearly couldn't control it. Starlight did it to not have Butcher or Hughie get shot, but the weird part is how little she reacted. And she didn't mean to kill him.
Regarding the debate about the aging, this has probably been said before, specially seeing how the RUclips release is delayed a few weeks in relation to the Patreon release, but Stormfront implies in the reveal to Homelander that he doesn't age either, or at least ages at a very very slow rate like she probably does too. I understand the confusion about the aging, with compound V being administered to most as newborns and others later in life, but you gotta look at superhero comics and the tropes therein when you are analyzing most superhero shows. Long lived or immortal beings in the comics don't stay infants for an eternity just because they are long lived or immortal. That would really not work with most stories. No, they usually age at a similar rate as normal beings do until they reach adulthood and it's from then on that the slowed aging (or no aging) comes into effect. Otherwise every character with these condition would have had to be born thousands of years before the stories being told or they would be infants forever (which of course could be a story in itself but isn't usually what the authors are going for). Another thing they seem to forget or miss when they analyze these more comic-booky aspects of these shows is that they are parodies, twists and/or love letters to the almost century long history of DC and Marvel comics and these characters parallel characters from said comics. Homelander is Superman here, of course a very dark and twisted version, but he fills that space/trope and so, knowing that, it's not wrong to assume that just like Superman he will age extremely slowly and live for possibly thousands of years.
Lol yeah you guys nailed it on the homelander/stormfront dynamic. Stormfront is straightup old timey racist. Homelander just views all superheroes as better, but likes the strongest ones the best.
Starlight: "Maybe some other day I would've cried over him but now he was just another person in our way." We know someone who thinks just like that. He's got a flag for a cape.
@@jackson857 I don't think so. She's still no better than Butcher and Homelander in my book. Plus, that death could've been avoided if they didn't try to lie to the guy and steal his car.
It's kinda funny, maybe/probably intentional Lamplighter needs a lighter. He's just like Pyro in the original X-Men movie in that regard. The same movies where he played Pyro's rival, Bobby/Ice Man.
Homelander is such a hyper narcissist, that even if he doesn't fully agree or align with Stormfront's ideology. The fact she's willing to worship him and have others worship him. It is more than enough for him to get down with her.
Maeve did have an option. There's always an option. Inaction is a choice as well. Compliance. So yeah, Maeve has been going thru a change of heart from her apathy, however she's far from innocent. This show does a great job in showing there's a lot of grey areas in everyone.
I know that I am very late but Maeve didn't have a choice at all. If she tried to save anyone, which she couldn't because she can't even fly, Homelander would stop her because and force her to save noone. She didn't have a choice
Does anyone know how they choose the shows they watch? I was gonna suggest Alice in borderland but I’m not sure where they do polls or ask for recommendations
Dose morgan know she is wearing veporian ears and fin consudering veporians fact she didnt know if she knew she would def not wear those but i can see why is it that was seeing it gear
Everytime i think you might not be wearing something like that on the head , it might just be only for thumbnail, and then i have to click on the video to check this, even if i am too busy for this at the moment 🤣🤞🙊
Butcher didn't make starlight kill that guy at all, that was all starlight baby, although it was to save someone's she loves she still did it with quickness and 0 hesitation.
Butcher would've killed that guy if he had the chance. Honestly, that innocent man's death could've been avoided all together if they had been honest with the guy from the start.
Probably because realistically, there's nothing Maeve could have done? She can't fly and Homelander did, in fact, have a point about not being able to move the plane without destroying it. The difference is that Homelander's complete disregard for non-supes ("fucking mudpeople") means he literally didn't give two shits about their deaths whereas Maeve very clearly wanted to save them. Had she tried to force Homelander into doing anything he very likely would have just killed her outright or left her to die. ("Don't die with them, Maeve.")
Can't believe I just realized it, but lamplighter's actor was in the early 00s X-Men (iceman) and had a brother whose powers are exactly like lamplighters. Hmm.

Exactly! I love her and it's a shame she gets a lot of hate for being asian

Would be really funny if Liberty / Stormfront was his biological mother, even if just as a donor like Soldier Boy.

(34:10) Everyone is waiting for this reaction.

Sort of. Although it leads us to why Vought would need hundreds of thousands of supersoldiers. She simply continued where the Nazis left off.
Nah Edgar’s still her boss atp
Funny thing, the actor of Lamplighter played Iceman with an ice ability in X-Men movies
That’s why I thought he looked so familiar !!
I've wondered if that was intentional.
@@NarutoUG it most likely was, Lamplighter in the series is like a rip-off of Pyro from the X-Men, who was Iceman's arch enemy or whatever in the films haha
@@UnhappyToothI just finished this series, it was bugging me so much I had to Google it lol I just couldn't think what movie he was in!
I confused him with his brother.
34:17 the realization on all of their faces is priceless 😂
I love how they're dressed as Pokemon:
Leafeon
Vaporeon
And Wednesday Adams
Eevee evolves into Wednesday if you have her listen to the Cure while holding a pair of scissors in middle school.

In the comics he was known to frequent underage cheerleaders. Butcher's joke about the baton twirlers is in reference to that
@@lemonherb1 Lamplighter is a parody of Green lantern in the comic books. So I am not surprised by his Hal Jordan like behaviour as well LOL
@@androsram641 Ugh, I forgot about Arisia. That was a really bad choice on the writer's part

This comment made me want a show about someone trying to invent immortality but winding up having to take care of a bunch of babies who never age.

Oddly enough Fresca's actually a top tier sparkling water lol. Been hooked ever since watching this show LMFAOOO
top tier? It's just carbonated tap water. Top tier would IMHO be a real mineral water.

I appreciate the headphone warnings. 👍

Thumbs up for Vaporeon, Leafeon, and Noel Fielding cosplays! haha

Congrats on 100k 🎉🥳
Thank you Virgil! 🥹
We come for a reaction and y’all delivered 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
scream at the tracker being taken out, but not at the guys head being crushed lmao
Amazing episode, and reaction, also can't wait to see your reactions to season 3, its my fav.

this next episode reaction finna be wild😭
"And they had crazy superhero racist sex" = coffee all over my keyboard :)
Never change Sam.
Can ya'll react to the golden girls. Its freaking hilarious. And its humor is timely for the era in which it showed.
Starlight murdered that poor dude 😢
Yeah, and she didn't feel bad about it either.
It was more like involuntary manslaughter.
Sam was ON ONE during the recap hahahaha
Imagine supes getting STDs
Petition to have Sam do the official recaps. Calling Giancarlo Esposito "little Gus Gus" is so disrespectful and funny at the same time😂

What?
YAH! 100K SUBSCRIBER HYPE!

Sam and Morgan have matching tats, they're such good friends!
Dani says she is speciesist but I don't believe her. The vibe I get from all you girls is that you're decent human beings and people worth knowing.
She was saying that as Homelander.
Where is Sam and Morgan? What are these Pokémon doing here?

I don’t get why Maeve gets a pass on that airplane thing. She was there too.

Had she tried to force Homelander into doing anything he very likely would have just killed her outright or left her to die. ("Don't die with them, Maeve.")
What? She couldn't do shit, the only thing she could do was argue with Homelander... and maybe um... hug a kid and risk dying as the plane crash?
I think there were at least three headphone warnings in the reaction. That's a hat trick right there 🤣😂
