He literally ruined him, and he knows that he can rip him in half, and he also knows for a FACT that he can't even make the man's blood pressure rise. He can't get fear, anger, ANYTHING from him. His apathy hurts Homelander so much.
@@therealmr.incredible3179 None of them will be able to get close to him and if they were to, I doubt Homelander would be cool with any of them taking him out due to his respect of Edgar.

It doesn't say "Best Moments" clown. It says being a savage boss for 20 minutes. Also, it didn't show all of his scenes in the series. Someone should pay more attention.
What i love most about Stan is that for all the coldness and callousness he still genuinely cares about his granddaughter to the point of helping the Boys. That gives him a lot of depth imo
I love the fact homelander can hear his heart really drives home the idea that while he says these things to him he 1) means it and 2) isn’t afraid of homelander enough to sugarcoat it. Bravo Vince👏
He called Homelander "bad product" and just strolled away lol. Stan is the strongest supe on this show, he ruins Homelander every time with only a few sentences 😂
Stan edgar is just coping. Because he knows Homelander being the way he is was his own doing. He was the one who had him raised the way he was raised... and in the end, it's most likely going to cost him his life.
@@KingSlayer_. Tbf, if Stan's fate will be anything like Stilwell's from the comics...nope. He'll get away with all of it scot-free, frame someone for the whole thing, and move on to a new corporation.
12:56 oh my god, I never noticed Homelander trying to hurry so he can sit in the middle chair before Edgar, and then looking all dejected when he doesn't make it. He looks like such a toddler XD
I disagree. His limited on screen appearance and being the Vought CEO only adds to the mysticism of the character. We see a cold, calculated businessman tell the company’s most popular hero that he, in essence, does not really matter.
Imagine if he adopted homelander when he was a baby instead of Victoria. It’s a blessing to the boys world that he doesn’t have Stan’s intelligence and pragmatism. He’d be unstoppable then
If It wasn't for Sage, Homelander would have probably turned vought into a shithole by now just like Edgar guessed. Albeit I think Sage will eventually be the nail in the coffin of Homelander & Vought
Sage Kinda scared me more at the end, then when she 1st appeared. Looks like she realized she can make almost anything she wants can happen. Can't wait to see what she does next
@@tehnative9779Sage entering in the last episode was Deus Ex Machina for the show, just easy excuse from the writers.

Nueman would have likely gotten impeached for being a supe as well. So either way they would have both been gone, it'll just have taken longer.
I love the fact that Homelander can sense when someone is feeling afraid or nervous. But with Edgar he doesn’t see anything. That’s why Homelander himself is scared of him because he knows his only way to intimidate people isn’t working on Stan
I love the way Homie makes a run for his chair in an attempt to get there before Stan. Stan in the Seven's room bitchslaping Homelander with his sole pressence is such a contrast to a regular Seven meeting where you can feel how everybody in the room is terrified of Homelander.
1:58 - This stare. The most ruthless drug dealers and cartel members in New Mexico wake up in a cold sweat thinking about this stare. Homelander never stood a chance.
It comes down to the fact that Homelander begrudgingly knows he is not a genius. As soon as Edgar was not leading him he needed someone else so he onboarded Sister Sage.
But we see Stan Edgar in the past in 1984 and he was clearly much younger, so either he’s a secret Supe that injected Compound V more recently or his real superpower is psychological manipulation
I'm not gonna lie. I feel like I always noticed a certain kinship between him and starlight too. When he was rooting for her as captain of The 7 I was like hell yeah
@@thelvadam5113 yes, he does. If he didn't, he wouldn't be teaching her anything. Him not remembering her origin story is just him not really respecting her back then when she was weaker, and now that she's extremely popular and is shown willing to stand up against Vought, he respects her.

@@zentazym1he didnt kill her, just left her in the room he was locked in full of blood n shi. chances are she definitely got out especially the kinda power she has to even be in that situation
Stan reading Homelander about his birthday party and basically telling him to cry about it, is what made me look up the show and start watching The Boys.
Some people dont understand why Homelander does not just flat out kill him. It's because Stan was smart enough to play exactly to the weaknesses of Homelander's psyche. He basically calls him a dumb, arrogant, pathetic man child that will use his superpowers to cover up his shortcomings. So if he would use said superpowers against Stan, he would also immediatly be proving Stan right. And Homelander is so pitifully childish that he absolutely does not want to give Stan the satisfaction of being right. Because even if Stan would be dead, Homelander would have to remain alive knowing that everything Stan thought about him was spot on correct. And that is the secret sauce that basically gives Stan Edger his plot armor against what is basically a God.
1:59 Stan Edgar just staring at Homelander after that "shareholder" threat, really drives it home for his character. Homelander knew it, and the audience knew that this is the face of a man who is the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, and the LAST thing you ever want to do is threaten him with stocks share prices. Everyone knows that, everyone in the corporate and financial field knows that....everyone except god damn Homelander. A raw nerve was hit by Homelander. Without a doubt, and most probably, in the WORST way possible. But the truth of the matter for any and every working class citizen in the world: in the face of the CEO, you have ZERO power or influence. And Stan Edgar made sure that the audience...and Homelander, never forgot that. If anything, this man was just completely insulted
I love Stan's new offer cuz as a Star Wars fan it beautifully encapsulates the difference between Darth invader and emperor Palpatine AKA apprentice in a sith Master and to an extent Jedi as well. Will power is not moving rocks and lightsabers. It's the ability to be able to manipulate in the most subtlest ways. The energy that is the force, the connection between all of us in our minds and our actions and our beliefs to how you want the world to be. This is why traditionally in the original trilogy Yoda and sidious do not have lightsabers or have them and don't use them because they don't need them. They're above that. Same way with Luke in The Last Jedi. I think a lot of fans keep forgetting that.
It’s less about him throwing away his lightsaber (though people do forget that literally the last time we see his lightsaber in Episode 6 is him chucking it away) and more so the fact he is so apathetic to the need for the light side to step up. Granted, he’s not the protagonist of the sequel trilogy, but it’s painful to watch the one who was meant to restore the Jedi order just abandon everything after one failed attempt. You’d think he’d at least be like Yoda where he would be willing to guide someone to accomplish what he couldn’t.
@@Paragon13 One that not only shows you how different he is, which leads to the whole theme that I wish they continued with, which is our expectations of People based on legacy as opposed to their actual reality. But I would argue that it's tragic to see Luke like this in the same way for anyone who grew up with the prequels to see it. Tragic to watch Anakin turn into Darth Vader. Again, he literally became his father like the Jedi before him. I agree that the execution was really bad but that was the theme and I do appreciate it.
The fact that homelander could've always killed Stan anytime but doesn't do it because it wouldn't be satisfying for him given that Stan is undefeated in the trash talk competition against homelander
Edgar and Sage are the only people (Edgar more so) in the show who could be real in homelander's face. That probably gives him similar feeling to how Ryan felt when Butcher didn't lose against him on purpose in foseball while everybody elaee around him do. That's probably why he'll never be able to unalive them.
@@Smoking-Green I meant Homelander within the universe of the Boys. He is a horrible man-child with superpowers. Amazing acting on Starr's part. And even a weak day in The Boys is still a cut above alot of other shows.
Man I really love Gus F… Stan Edgar! But really he nails that cold, calculating boss figure. Edgar definitely is much more sarcastic and has more emotions than Gus Fring, and seems to still have a least a sliver of being a good person left through his granddaughter.
Leave it to Stan Edgar to strike a physically invulnerable man in a psychologically vulnerable spot. If he could make Homelander hated by everyone, Homelander would probably self-delete.
He almost resembles his comic book equivalent... As in he's not quite as deadpan sociopathic but he can still put a superpowered baby like Homelander in his place.
I’m honestly quite curious if they are gonna go further with Starlight and Stans strange dynamic. The way he openly tries to teach Annie about power, half jokingly speaks of a ‘kinship’ with her. Hope it’s further developed
"but its not about me, i cant lash out like some raging entitled maniac, thats a white mans luxury" is one of the funniest lines out of this entire show
In the one where he calls him bad product homelander taunts him multiple times before Stan even acknowledges his presence, until he mentions vicky is when he decides to respond
Him still being alive entering season five is the ultimate wild card for the show
Maeve gonna return for season 5 also
He's gonna use some V and go ham
@@blobviss-3367 He doesn't need V. He's all man without it.

Didn't know Los Polos have people superpowers. It's all those damn fumes from Heisenberg
I love Stan's new offer cuz as a Star Wars fan it beautifully encapsulates the difference between Darth invader and emperor Palpatine AKA apprentice in a sith Master and to an extent Jedi as well. Will power is not moving rocks and lightsabers. It's the ability to be able to manipulate in the most subtlest ways. The energy that is the force, the connection between all of us in our minds and our actions and our beliefs to how you want the world to be. This is why traditionally in the original trilogy Yoda and sidious do not have lightsabers or have them and don't use them because they don't need them. They're above that. Same way with Luke in The Last Jedi. I think a lot of fans keep forgetting that.
It’s less about him throwing away his lightsaber (though people do forget that literally the last time we see his lightsaber in Episode 6 is him chucking it away) and more so the fact he is so apathetic to the need for the light side to step up. Granted, he’s not the protagonist of the sequel trilogy, but it’s painful to watch the one who was meant to restore the Jedi order just abandon everything after one failed attempt. You’d think he’d at least be like Yoda where he would be willing to guide someone to accomplish what he couldn’t.
@@Paragon13 One that not only shows you how different he is, which leads to the whole theme that I wish they continued with, which is our expectations of People based on legacy as opposed to their actual reality. But I would argue that it's tragic to see Luke like this in the same way for anyone who grew up with the prequels to see it. Tragic to watch Anakin turn into Darth Vader. Again, he literally became his father like the Jedi before him. I agree that the execution was really bad but that was the theme and I do appreciate it.
The fact that homelander could've always killed Stan anytime but doesn't do it because it wouldn't be satisfying for him given that Stan is undefeated in the trash talk competition against homelander
7:24 Because, Mr. Edgar, Homelander is simply bad product.
Giancarlo is the #1 actor I would like to meet. I don't even fangirl over actors but this dude is something else
Edgar and Sage are the only people (Edgar more so) in the show who could be real in homelander's face. That probably gives him similar feeling to how Ryan felt when Butcher didn't lose against him on purpose in foseball while everybody elaee around him do. That's probably why he'll never be able to unalive them.
Homelander is how Lex Luthor looks at Superman
"You know what the public hears ? Gustavo"
You can't tell me that was not intentionally written 😭💀
It was "Gestapo" aka Geheime Staatspolizei from the Nazis.
Sage told him there is one person he can’t beat without her, that’s Stan
Серьезно есть отрывок и намек?
@@Lenin1917-lenin sorry I don’t understand you bro
She can't beat him either.
@@user-rr8xj3ed4u maybe you’re right but we can’t actually say anything at this moment, wait till next season
Giancarlo has incredible screen presence, love watching him.
Was a bad product in season 1, and continues to be...
@@Smoking-Green I meant Homelander within the universe of the Boys. He is a horrible man-child with superpowers. Amazing acting on Starr's part. And even a weak day in The Boys is still a cut above alot of other shows.
@@mike9512everything in life sucks uh?
@@noahmich21 why would you say that?
This is season 2
Man I really love Gus F… Stan Edgar!
But really he nails that cold, calculating boss figure. Edgar definitely is much more sarcastic and has more emotions than Gus Fring, and seems to still have a least a sliver of being a good person left through his granddaughter.
I saw his face before I saw the title and when I read the title in my head it registered as Gustavo fring
god he plays the PERFECT villain everythime
Stan Edgar is the man who will save it all in series five
Breaking bad is the prequel to the boys
Homeland is lucky Lyle wasn't there to show him what happens to mfs who ain't up to Los Pollos Hermanos standards.
Leave it to Stan Edgar to strike a physically invulnerable man in a psychologically vulnerable spot. If he could make Homelander hated by everyone, Homelander would probably self-delete.
He almost resembles his comic book equivalent... As in he's not quite as deadpan sociopathic but he can still put a superpowered baby like Homelander in his place.
I’m honestly quite curious if they are gonna go further with Starlight and Stans strange dynamic. The way he openly tries to teach Annie about power, half jokingly speaks of a ‘kinship’ with her. Hope it’s further developed
Stan Edgar was the only one that could stand above Homelander.
Memorable character.
"but its not about me, i cant lash out like some raging entitled maniac, thats a white mans luxury" is one of the funniest lines out of this entire show
Gawd, Giancarlo should be "The Leader" in the MCU
i like the only time stan ever got slight emotional was with billy butcher the only other person that sees ppl for who they are
I like that butcher is the only person that stan can have a leveled conversation with. Everyone else he just completely dominates. 😂
In the one where he calls him bad product homelander taunts him multiple times before Stan even acknowledges his presence, until he mentions vicky is when he decides to respond
Power resides where men believe it resides....It's a trick...Shadow on the wall....And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.
Yup. Just look at Napoleon.
@@btookie350 Hah! I get it!
