For all his faults, Homelander actually reacts pretty well to the unexpected. His long term planning sucks, but he's pretty good with "Ok, this is happening. Let's stay calm and deal with it."
@@varric Well said, Varric... And *in fact that seeing somebody's (Wee Hughie) been buck-n@k£d* is truly, a totally priceless moment ever seen right there...😅🤣🤣
I love Homelanders slight little pause when Hughie arrives. He's just like "What? Wait why is he naked?" and then he immediately just snaps back into it but it was a funny little moment.
its one of those reoccurring gags that makes this show so god damn hilarious. Another great example is starlight always playing supersonics hit song about the 16 year old whenever she wanted to talk to him in private. Its such a little thing but every time it happens its funny
I love when they’re holding him down there’s something real animalistic with homelander, the way he’s panicking and thrashing with his lasers ready to go. Like an animal backed into a corner showing their claws or teeth but just as afraid. That desperate scream he does too 😚👌🏾
Homelander prob couldnt use his lasers cuz Soldier Boy's blast can suppress surrounding Supe's abilities while hes charging up (ex. TNT twins powers failing when confronted by SB), it would also explains why the Boys werent able to restrain HL bc their powers would also be suppressed making them weaker in general
@@Zimo0o Nah the twins powers failed due to them being has beens, not because of SB. If that was the case Homiegrounder here wouldn't be able to fly away
@@Zimo0o nah nah, soldier boy can only blast off the power after the beam ( which explained why the tiny guy stays tiny) The TNT twins power havent been used for a long time and requires great form from both of team ( they are both fat and hate eachother so much now)
The sheer delight on butchers face at the fact he no longer has to cower and run from homelander and can stand up to him and trade blows without being killed by a single hit from him a moment he's been dreaming about for a long time
Well he never really cowered from homelander before anyway. Hell h even tried to blow himself homelander and a baby up just because he had nothing left to loose in the attempt.
I love how Soldier Boy makes fun of Homelander wearing a cape and then during the fight he actually uses the cape to yank Homelander back to the ground.
I love how when they were holding him down Homelander had absolutely no idea what to do. He was panicking like crazy firing up the laser and screaming even though he knew he wouldn`t hit anyone with the lasers. Insane props to Anthony Starr for portaying a God amongst men feeling genuine fear and panic for the first time in his life.
I don't think that was fear or panic, that was being momentarily caught off guard. 1v1 he was handling SB, even when Butcher jumped in and itnwas 2v1 he was doing good, only when Hughie popped up did he falter and get overwhelmed. But even then, all three of them together couldn't hold him down and finish the job.
@@zyairrountree2411 Well the biggest weakness right now is that Butcher needs a constant supply of Temp V. Where is he supposed to get that from now that Maeve disappeared?
The fact that a bad, monstrous man like Soldier Boy is still 100% true to his word despite multiple opportunities to break or gain even something more is what makes his character awesome
At 4:18 he looks like a wild animal caught in a trap. Antony Starr did such a great job at playing Homelander’s reaction to being overpowered for the first time.
@@josuelrobles6612 Homelander knows what is coming now and he will not be doing a 3-vs-1 again. He can always fly away. He might not be able to see Hughie coming but he can definitely see the other two. Also they don't have endless supply of the V.
That's fear. Dude was probably shitting his pants in utter horror at what he just witnessed. If Starlight had joined in, they could have probably murdered Homelander right there and then, and John knows it.
@@OGrupxe I don't agree on Starlight, she would have probably interfered more than helped! These guys on the other hand are going for the kill, they are not moralizing, they are not distracted, they are not fucking around. You do not get between a wild animal and its prey.
@@kenthefele113 Yeah... That particular " *I'm about to DIE* 💀 with *Wee Hughie's completely naked next to ME!* (The Homelander 🦅🇺🇲)" here seems to be pretty natch to me, bro...
@@CSWdenji69 Alright then, in fact that *he's actually fears about his power would gets taken away from him* right 🤔? Well then, it makes some senses about it...
Yep destroys his confidence and ego, he always thought he was unbeatable. Sure he got away but he had to run with his tail between his legs to survive, homelander has never had to run from any fight. So I would count this as a big win for the boys.
I love how Butcher and Soldier Boy are coordinated when they fight. That double punch and then taking Homelander to the ground looked awesome af they undestand eachother without saying a word
@@Ministry_Of_Truth911Homelander did have training, we see it briefly in an episode from Diabolical that is considered Canon. People seriously underestimate characters that have decent level fighting ability. While Superman and Joker may not be expert h2h combatants like Batman or Deathstroke, they are still far more skilled than the average person
Honestly people give Homelander shit for flying away and getting his ass kicked, but I was impressed with how well he did. He only ran away when he was about to fucking die
God this fight was so fucking good. Soldier Boy blocking and deflecting blows because he actually knows how to fight, but still being shocked that homelander is stronger than him. Homelander just throwing sluggers cause this is the first time he’s fighting someone in his weight class and is a mix of anger and freaking out. Hughie joining the fight but doing sneak attacks cause he can help but isn’t at that level. And Butcher taking every hit, fighting him head on just to show he can and show homelander that he isn’t invincible. God this was so fucking good.
wdym homelander was just throwing sluggers he actually had some fighting skills he could block dodge and parry if it werent for those he wouldve be dead already cus butcher and soldier boy are close to homelander's strength
@@brandongarcia7724 That could be the case. They’re definitely in the same weight class. But ultimately I think homelander a defense is probably the stronger of the two.
yep, its like when Butcher took the superpowers, he brought the fight level to human vs human, he can finally punch HomeLander and it actually does damage to his face.
I got to say it, the range of emotions that Anthony Starr displays here are amazing: cocky, powerful, hateful, actual concern, genuine surprised, animal agression, masterclass in acting a villain
Butcher's bloody smile is just perfect, he knew Homelander still outmatched him but he couldn't give a fuck. Just landing blows on him and being able to hurt him was enough.
@@trevturp6891 Because that's what happened. When they first came together Homelander landed more hits, and after that it took Soldier Boy's help to physically overpower him and even then Homelander got the better of them both and had him pinned against the wall. It then took Hughie to knock Homelander off him. They were only matched with their heat vision.
A good mirror image in this fight was seeing HL give a manic smile while catching Soldier Boy’s punches, and then Butcher taking HL’s hits and giving him a manic smile. They really are extremely alike, even in fights. Butcher roared while clashing lasers, and HL growled. They fought like animals, and I’m all for it.
I kinda felt like the reason Butcher roared at that time was from the pain of using his laser eyes for such an extended period and they were beginning to burn. While HL only growled because his tolerance was much higher due to him being used to it. Hence why SB snatched HL down before he could gain the advantage.
Lol soldier boy is still a much better character though and homelander is only more powerful due to his flight. I never wanted anyone to take an L as bad as homelander. this show glorifies rapists and it's weird. Still won't stop me from watching season 4 though.
Homelander's look of disbelief when Butcher yells out "Oi!" was priceless. From the first punch thrown, he went from cocky to confused to worried to shocked. Watching how he processes the realization that he could have been killed in that fight will be interesting to watch in the coming episodes.
I loved when he struckl him with his laser Eye and Homelander screetched "WTF"! Shock Desperation & Upset that hes not Untouchabl. It was a Fantastic Fight for a Streaming show. I wish they would get Zack Snyder to do one giant Fight scene it would be Amazing
He might have actually been killed if Starlight actually did something. Starlight is always talking about how she’ll do something, when actually she has rarely contributed.
I never got "frightened" from him. It felt more like rageful denial, confusion & disorientation. That last moment before he took off felt like "no! the his isn't how it's supposed to be!"
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how brilliantly "Antony Starr" plays Homelander. He's one of the scariest superhero villains I think I've seen in a long time, so evil and psychotic.
I think homelander handled himself really well for someone that's never faced anything that was a threat to him. You seen the fear in his eyes throughout the fight. And the moment he was hissing like a rabid f****** animal in a corner was great acting!
I'm hoping butcher becomes the comic equivalent of what black noir should be. Noir is supposed to be a clone of HL and kills him in the comic. Butcher has almost the same powers as HL but unlike Noir he isn't a little stronger than HL but in a team up he can kill him. In the comic butcher kills black noir after noir kills HL. The military bombs noir until he's only got a leg and a arm and half his head than butcher takes his crow bar and pulls his brain and spine out to finish Noir for good. They can definitely integrate that into the show and have him finish HL well juiced up on compound V. They just need queen Maeve instead of hughie on their team.
@@dontcare7086 dude that just ain't going to happen and they have talked about it lot of times, even part of the cast dislike the comics like Antony, the only probable thing that they will take from the comics ending is Butcher giving the last hit to Homelander and Hughie taking out Butcher's life
Its a bit of a toss up. I believe Butcher has better fighting skills hands down, but I think his body is still adjusting to the super powers, Its the only thing that can explain why the three three of them didn't rock HL.
A beautiful scene, showing Homelander struggling with fear, injury and clearly confused about his own mortality. I love the next scene where he's just quietly staring at himself bruised and coming to terms that he had to RUN away to save his life.
@@abhijithanand8770 #HomeRunner. It's perfect, I hope this somehow makes it to the next season like where someone leaks the vid of him running away. Would be nice to see how he faces cowardice. Either way #HomeRunner, run home
What's crazy also about this scene is when homelander stepped on termite on purpose. He definitely heard him asking for help, and homelaner just killed him
This episode was worth all the hype. Soldier Boy really pushed Homelander to that next level of his powers and his fighting skills. I can't wait to see what next episode brings!
The mental fuckery of losing for the first time.. I could see Homelander taking a shit ton of Compound V as steroids to make sure he never loses again.
I think a nice little detail no one has really been talking about is Homelander’s satisfaction in finding out it was, in fact, all about him. Just the small little ego boost it gives his already infinite ego was a nice touch.
i don’t think calling his ego infinite is a good characterization. i think his ego is fragile and weak. he has infinite excuses, infinite coping mechanisms. that’s what narcissism really is- the pain and trauma of feeling inadequate to your very core (narcissists don’t really even have cores, they have no real sense of self). homelander is infinitely capable of spinning stories. it’s why he works so well in the media. he’s intelligent but he understands mass psychology way better than he understands individuals, and he can use the stories of mass psychology to justify his place in the world. the archetype of the hero, the god. these are soothing images that he uses to massage his broken self-image. this is why narcissists tend to be so grandiose. not only is it just a nice thing to think about yourself -you’re the center of everything, you’re very important and powerful- it allows you to think in large social terms, which narcissists are better equipped for than the small scale real lives that people live on an individual level. this clip actually showcases this exact dynamic of narcissistic pseudo-empathy. homelander is on the verge of tears just by seeing soldier boy. as a child he was raised on movies and PR. in this moment he’s confronted with the three-dimensional version of one of the few things he was capable of empathizing with, and now that he’s here he hates homelander and wants to kill him. you can see he starts to well up immediately. if you know a narcissist you know that they cry just fine at movies but they can’t empathize for you. this show portrays narcissism perfectly it’s really incredible.
i remember in a interview the director told to Jensen "not let your Dean come out", but "Buddy you´re strong?, you´re wearing a cape" is the Deanest line ever XDDDD
Seeing season 1 Hughie, I never would have imagined that his character development would have led to him naked, pinning down a terrified screaming Homelander to the floor.
Marvel wishes they could portray such a compelling, hilarious, brutal and emotional fight as this and fit it all into one room without it having to divulge into a CGI fever dream. Spectacular scene.
@@ragemonkey117 ok I love the choreography in winter solider, civil war and infinity war.. Still don't come close to this scene despite the budget, hope that helps. Closest Marvel has come is Cap vs Iron Man, or the excellent choreography between bucky and Cap, amazing
Wrong... Infact infinity war fights were above anything boys did... That iron man vs Thanos fight is still one of the best superhero fights I have ever seen
It's good to see him fight period. We've never seen homelander actually fight someone until now, despite all the people he's killed.Supersonic got killed offscreen, and everyone else either didn't have any powers or didn't even try to fight back
It's the fact that he had to put in _extreme_ effort to get out from underneath them - that's the real key. Now imagine Maeve was in there too; he'd have very little chance of escaping. He knows he's in very real danger, especially if anybody can be a supe now.
It's the fact that someone could get the best of him...He was not having it lmaoo.. The writing of these characters is 🤌... He's a complete psychopath...
"...what have you done...?!" There's a look on Homelander's face in this moment that hints at feelings of betrayal, a genuine loss of respect that Butcher took that shortcut and didn't face him as a human. There's a scene near the end of Hellsing that parallels this situation, in which [spoilers] forsakes his humanity in an attempt to best Alucard, and the latter feels betrayed because if anyone was to beat him, it needed to be a human. The reason being, there's a huge part of him that views his own loss of humanity for godlike power as a curse, and that same part of him wants humanity to win. I imagine that the very same condition runs through Homelander's mind to a certain extent (as evidenced in the mirror scene), and it's masterfully conveyed here.
What makes you think human can beat a supe in any way? There is difference between bravery and stupidity. Butcher is brave but he is not stupid. Butcher clearly knows its impossible to beat world's powerful supe as a human . So butcher had to take compound V to even just lay hands on homelander
You're head on when it comes to Hellsing, but... Well yeah, HL has the HL-version of respect for Butcher, but this is not it. He wants to know how Butcher got that kind of an upgrade, that's all.
That cape pull gives me Man of Steel vibes when Zod uppercut Superman in the air. Stops his ascend a second later and starts to pull the dude and his cape and threw him to them buildings lol
It makes Homelander’s entrance that much more intimidating when you realize he has super hearing and the little guy was crying out in pain, which Homelander would have heard beforehand. He didn’t step on him coincidentally, he did it because he could, because he wanted to feel powerful.
Just binge watched this show the past 2 days. I can’t believe I never watched it before. Such an incredible show, full of action and humor. Beautifully written. Can’t wait for season 4! This fight was epic. And knowing Ryan will most likely be the antagonist, so epic!
I will never not love Homelander’s reaction to Butcher using powers and then when Hughie teleports in completely buck ass naked he just looks confused as hell 😂😂
I'm both very excited for what we are about to see and sad that the series are probably reaching it's end. At least, when drawing a parallel to the comics, there isn't much left, unless they drift away from the original material (more than they already have). Still I believe it's for the best, I would hate to see it dragged on for longer than it should
@@knashboi3914 it was only teased by Karl Urban, no? Anyway I don't think it would be good to rush it to end in S3, but I don't think it should go beyond S4 as well
3:33 butcher's bloodied smile says it all. He's waited so long to do some real damage to homelander with his own fists and it shows. He's having a time of his life.
I love this fight its the best fight out of any other fight. Homelander surprised when he finds out billy had powers was hilarious and his suprised when hughie comes in naked and fights as well. Can we also all agree that Billy wanted hughie to get out before they die put a smile on our face. It shows how much hughie means to Billy. Even in season two Billy stated he was his canary someone that helps him not go too far And hughie wanted to stay shows how loyal and how much Billy means to him as well enough to not abandoned billy.
Homelander's reactions to Hughie jumping in, naked, and getting a hit in were hilarious. Great fight scene - the way it's been building to this. Hopefully we see an epic rematch.
Homelander/Stormfront (the sadistic OP individual with no qualms ab hurting innocents) Hughie/Starlight (the young, kind, optimistic soul - at first, anyway - who develops a thick skin starts showing backbone and moral ambiguity) Butcher/Maeve (the hard ass with regular smartass jabs + a soft side for their respective younger companion that helps make them better ppl) Soldier Boy/Kimiko (the Supe wild card that most of the boys were against working with and for good reason) Not to mention the fact that 3/4 pairs become involved at some point in one way or another
@@RealHajimeHinata it really shows just how much of a monster Homelander is. Soldier Boy's powers, like Queen Maeve's, are super strength and durability. All supes have that, but those two are on an entirely different level since it's their actual superpower. Maeve completely pummeled Stormfront on raw strength. And Homelander is completely overpowering both Soldier Boy and Butcher (who also gets insane strength). Not to mention that Maeve was just annoying to him and easily overpowered her when he got a bit serious in their actual fight. And also add laser sight and flight. Homelander is a god among supes, let alone men.
Homelander having to fly away from fear like that really speaks volumes. He got humbled here. He's never experienced being manhandled like that his entire life.
*humbled* soilders boy was the one that got humbled, he talked mad shit to homelander and still got his ass kicked even though it was a 3V1, Butcher even with homelander powers still didn't stand a chance either, Hughie kind of didn't really do anything
@@zamasu3563 Hughie's punch was still enough to offset Homelander and distract him enough, so it was exactly what was needed. If Soldier Boy would of finished charging, Homelander would of died.
@@zamasu3563 uh oh we found the home lander fanboy 😂😂, homelander even though he thinks he’s “at the top of the food chain” was put in the corner so bad he had to fly away, he DID get humbled.
@@Bardriguez ya I mean if you put a bear (apex predator) in a room with 3 monkeys who had guns. Ya , the bear would probably not want to get killed. But in this case, homelander was whooping soilders boy and butcher, it's only when Hughie showed up did they stand a chance. Which btw, there only chance was for butcher and Hughie to fucking die, so ya, not really a win on their part either.
Agreed, I was relieved that they showed if anything he would have won the 1v1 with soldier boy, and even the 2v1 against soldier boy and butcher until hughie showed up and he was overwhelmed. It manages to keep him as a terrifying antagonist while also showing him vulnerable (physically) for the first time. Such a cool scene
Lamplighter: Dead. Translucent: Dead. A-Train: Dead. (Probably) Maeve: MIA Black Noir: AWOL Deep: STILL THERE! Homelander: Feeling the walls closing in. Nowhere to go but corners. With a man who can break steel. Starlight: Quit.
Homelander is so alone and having someone like deep as a teammate is just adding insult to injury. And He got his ass beaten and was second away from being grilled, so he is scared as fuck
I’m still waiting on Noir to do something big. It doesn’t necessarily have to be like the comics, but I still want something huge out of him in the show.
At least this scared Homelander. All it would take would be one more to join in like Starlight and they could have finished him. It also gauges how strong Homelander really is. I don't think we've seen Homelander do any real feats of strength. Also Soldier Boy is an expert fighter, Homelander is not. If anything Homelander is going to be pretty darn scared.
Agreed, even If they don't end up killing HL (Which they probably won't) this has left him scared and his public image will probably end up being annihilated for the remainder of the season, leading Into Season 4 were It's going to be the remainder of the Supes along with HL's clone Black Noir left to kill him.
Honestly, this makes the whole series pointless, with so many supes around why is everybody afraid of Homelander when only a few people would have to team up to beat him
I love how at the beginning of their fight Homelander fights so lazily, like he’s always used to never trying in these situations. Then he finds out real quick 😅
@@eurasianbrother1710 actually we can, the characters are completely original with some having original powers like starlight. Marvel and DC are dog shit, one is being pushed around by Disney corporates being forces to make cringey kids TV shows like Ms Marvel and butcher movies like DR Strange multiverse of madness, While DC, arguably doing a lot better now, has made mostly dog shit movies with the exception of "the joker" which was just a Taxi Driver rip off and also The Batman, which was trying wayyyy to hard to try and be like OG dark knight.
My favorite thing about this fight is how Homelander was questioning himself prior, wondering if he has what it takes to beat Soldier Boy. Then when he finally gets there & fights him he’s like “oh this isn’t shit, wtf was I worried about” lol
@@darkclaw1462 and Omniman to Superman, Goku, One Punch Man, etc hes nothing but a microbe… What the hell are u on comparing characters from 2 totally different verses? LMAO
@@shahriarhakim6673 It was more of a mental defeat if anything. He still had the upper hand against Soldier Boy. It’s just that Homelander is a coward under pressure.
I actually think homelander handled himself pretty well for a guy who’s barely had a proper fight, let alone against 3 other supes. His ego is definitely still damaged though cuz he still kinda got his ass beat
@@JBD915 he doesn’t have any weaknesses besides a big ass ego most powerful supe on the show escaped a building before it a exploded and escaped from 3 dudes that wanna kill him he is op af
In diabolical it was shown that homelander basically had these guys that were like 2 his size come and beat the shit outta him on a regular basis so he probably learned most of his actual combat skills from there seeing how everyone he fights in the show before soldier boy have all been against supes way weaker than him or regular civilians that are also wayy weaker than him
I agree but he had plot armor. 1v1 Butcher should have won. Beyond the 'I will give everything and die without a care' approach along with a lifetime of actually fighting 'worthy' opponents would have meant he would be stronger (because they are stolen powers afterall) add in the other 2 and it would have been no contest
Nobody talks about how orange is a stronger form of energy on the light frequency spectrum, meaning that Butcher’s laser eyes were stronger then Homelander’s
I got massive goosebumps when butcher said "scorched earth". The sheer shock and surprise that everyone is feeling is so well incapsulated in this scene. Homelanders general WTF, Butcher's euphoria of being able to harm his nemesis - what an incredible episode.
Butcher walking in after beaming homelander gives me second phase of a boss vibe. Makes it even funnier that he was actually winning against soldier boy, and then number 2 strolls in.
Homelander's final scream to escape was such a savage moment!!! Using all his will to escape from that single moment that could've resulted in his life ending...
Amazon did this on purpose! They hyped us up for a whole week about the orgy, "Herogasm". But really they knew the audience would be LOCKED in to the fight between Soldier Boy and Homelander. Then you add Butcher and Hughie too!?!? This is the best episode in the whole series so far
Some kinda double meaning there too Butcher, Hughie and Soldier Boy holding down HomeLander And Butcher telling SB to do it But SB having some kind of Performance Issue cant blow his load. And after HomeLander flew Butcher, Hughie and SB lying there exhausted
3v1 with soldier boy as one of them, and he still beat the shit out of them and got out form under them, I’d say he wasn’t scarred when being held down just unbelievably pissed
I love how Butcher smiles during his fisticuffs with Homelander. Because finally-FINALLY-he's able to *hurt* Homelander. And he gets to do it with his own two hands.
Not sure if anyone noticed but when Soldier Boy was about to use his Supe nullification Blast Homelander realized his laser eyes weren't shooting lasers, that's when decided to fucking bail lmfao.
Oh shit! Spot on observation! Didn't catch that at first Might have also been the reason why he was able to get away because it also means it would have weakened Billy and Huey.
4:37 the scream that he let out literally sent chills down my spine , you can tell that homelander is desperate and actually scared for once , for his whole life homelander never really faced much adversity or challenges (physical or mental) when theres finally a moment where two equally strong people (and hughie) are holding him down ready to blast him away for good , he can't help but scream in terror and use every last bit of his resolve into escaping , he quite literally activated fight or flight response
Damn, you said 2 strong people and Hughie like he was an afterthought, lmao! Nah, but for real--don't forget, he got super strength along with the teleportation powers!
I interpreted the scream more like a grunt when you lift heavy. Meaning it was desperation, but the scream showed more that he was using everything he had instead of fear. Although he may have been scared I think the scream was more indicative of the effort he had to exert to get out.
It sounded like Homelander was beyond frustrated and pissed that all the folks he wanted to un-alive in brutal fashion have all somehow managed to challenge him in this way! It's all falling apart, and he can't even enact his plan of murdering all the people he wanted to. The company is all he has now, so I wonder what he will do if he loses that?! Also, soldier boy doesn't seem to have full control of his omni-beam, so Butcher and Hughie better ration their temp-v with Maeve gone!
@@Blackadam876 Yes,like Butcher probably isn't as strong as Homelander. I think Homelander could easily kill this 2 if Soldier boy wasn't here. The only thing Homelander needs to do is play smart and separate everybody next time they fought and kill them 1 vs 1. None of them can do shit against him 1 vs 1,even Soldier Boy.
@@Shatter149 He's probably able to filter what he hears so there was no need to check if a human who was lasered in the chest was still alive. Plus, he had Soldier Boy to worry about.
@@LucDutra92 thats just an error to the scripting. at this point he still believes billy is a weak as a normal human, when he lasered him he literally absorbed that laser and there's no blood. i dont believe homalander can be that dumb.
Even as a normal human being, he dreamt of killing Homelander. Now he has powers, and is almost as strong as Homelander, he'll obviously enjoy the fights.

He was probably far more confused how Hughie managed to push him
He was like wtf 🤣🤣🤣
That corniness belongs in the MCU
He had a confused look on his face like, ah fuck you too?
For all his faults, Homelander actually reacts pretty well to the unexpected. His long term planning sucks, but he's pretty good with "Ok, this is happening. Let's stay calm and deal with it."
The "wtf" reaction Homelander has to getting hit with eye lasers unexpectedly never gets old 🤣

I love Homelanders slight little pause when Hughie arrives. He's just like "What? Wait why is he naked?" and then he immediately just snaps back into it but it was a funny little moment.
its one of those reoccurring gags that makes this show so god damn hilarious. Another great example is starlight always playing supersonics hit song about the 16 year old whenever she wanted to talk to him in private. Its such a little thing but every time it happens its funny

I love how when they were holding him down Homelander had absolutely no idea what to do. He was panicking like crazy firing up the laser and screaming even though he knew he wouldn`t hit anyone with the lasers. Insane props to Anthony Starr for portaying a God amongst men feeling genuine fear and panic for the first time in his life.
He spams it so much it was his first response
Couldn't have said it better myself
I don't think that was fear or panic, that was being momentarily caught off guard. 1v1 he was handling SB, even when Butcher jumped in and itnwas 2v1 he was doing good, only when Hughie popped up did he falter and get overwhelmed. But even then, all three of them together couldn't hold him down and finish the job.

At 4:18 he looks like a wild animal caught in a trap. Antony Starr did such a great job at playing Homelander’s reaction to being overpowered for the first time.
I can see how proud butcher is for finally getting his hands on homelander, and soldier boy being a badass for taking all of that blows.

@@josuelrobles6612 Homelander knows what is coming now and he will not be doing a 3-vs-1 again. He can always fly away. He might not be able to see Hughie coming but he can definitely see the other two. Also they don't have endless supply of the V.
When they hold homelander down, he sounds like a wild animal trying to get loose. Such an intense scene.
His scream was awsome
That's fear. Dude was probably shitting his pants in utter horror at what he just witnessed. If Starlight had joined in, they could have probably murdered Homelander right there and then, and John knows it.

Both were Soldiers. Former US Army, I believe, and British SAS

God this fight was so fucking good.
Soldier Boy blocking and deflecting blows because he actually knows how to fight, but still being shocked that homelander is stronger than him.
Homelander just throwing sluggers cause this is the first time he’s fighting someone in his weight class and is a mix of anger and freaking out.
Hughie joining the fight but doing sneak attacks cause he can help but isn’t at that level.
And Butcher taking every hit, fighting him head on just to show he can and show homelander that he isn’t invincible.

@@tunasingot6475 actually it's by Vought

I got to say it, the range of emotions that Anthony Starr displays here are amazing: cocky, powerful, hateful, actual concern, genuine surprised, animal agression, masterclass in acting a villain
Butcher's bloody smile is just perfect, he knew Homelander still outmatched him but he couldn't give a fuck. Just landing blows on him and being able to hurt him was enough.
Homelander didn't outmatch Butcher, Butcher outmatched Homelander. And why did you think it was the other way around?

A good mirror image in this fight was seeing HL give a manic smile while catching Soldier Boy’s punches, and then Butcher taking HL’s hits and giving him a manic smile. They really are extremely alike, even in fights. Butcher roared while clashing lasers, and HL growled. They fought like animals, and I’m all for it.
I kinda felt like the reason Butcher roared at that time was from the pain of using his laser eyes for such an extended period and they were beginning to burn. While HL only growled because his tolerance was much higher due to him being used to it. Hence why SB snatched HL down before he could gain the advantage.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how brilliantly "Antony Starr" plays Homelander.
He's one of the scariest superhero villains I think I've seen in a long time, so evil and psychotic.
I think homelander handled himself really well for someone that's never faced anything that was a threat to him. You seen the fear in his eyes throughout the fight. And the moment he was hissing like a rabid f****** animal in a corner was great acting!
I'm hoping butcher becomes the comic equivalent of what black noir should be. Noir is supposed to be a clone of HL and kills him in the comic. Butcher has almost the same powers as HL but unlike Noir he isn't a little stronger than HL but in a team up he can kill him. In the comic butcher kills black noir after noir kills HL. The military bombs noir until he's only got a leg and a arm and half his head than butcher takes his crow bar and pulls his brain and spine out to finish Noir for good. They can definitely integrate that into the show and have him finish HL well juiced up on compound V. They just need queen Maeve instead of hughie on their team.
@@dontcare7086 dude that just ain't going to happen and they have talked about it lot of times, even part of the cast dislike the comics like Antony, the only probable thing that they will take from the comics ending is Butcher giving the last hit to Homelander and Hughie taking out Butcher's life

@@eshanojha4207 i hope they do, Butcher will probably turn into an even bigger psycho than HL in the end
Its a bit of a toss up. I believe Butcher has better fighting skills hands down, but I think his body is still adjusting to the super powers, Its the only thing that can explain why the three three of them didn't rock HL.
A beautiful scene, showing Homelander struggling with fear, injury and clearly confused about his own mortality. I love the next scene where he's just quietly staring at himself bruised and coming to terms that he had to RUN away to save his life.
I think the mirror scene is more about no longer having conflicting emotions like the first mirror scene, the human part is now dead.

The hype around the Herogasm event itself though was disappointing. Was expecting something way more fucked up than just a simple orgy
Ye but they were hyping up the orgy side and tbh it wasn’t as extreme as they were building up

Pleasantly surprised that homelander can fight
@@Red-ux2ff home lander would have killed any of them 1 on 1
I think a nice little detail no one has really been talking about is Homelander’s satisfaction in finding out it was, in fact, all about him. Just the small little ego boost it gives his already infinite ego was a nice touch.
And makes it even better when he loses the fight, he also realizes the fact that he is no longer the ultimate supe, and he can be killed.
@@christianblair8663 YES
i don’t think calling his ego infinite is a good characterization. i think his ego is fragile and weak. he has infinite excuses, infinite coping mechanisms. that’s what narcissism really is- the pain and trauma of feeling inadequate to your very core (narcissists don’t really even have cores, they have no real sense of self).
homelander is infinitely capable of spinning stories. it’s why he works so well in the media. he’s intelligent but he understands mass psychology way better than he understands individuals, and he can use the stories of mass psychology to justify his place in the world. the archetype of the hero, the god. these are soothing images that he uses to massage his broken self-image. this is why narcissists tend to be so grandiose. not only is it just a nice thing to think about yourself -you’re the center of everything, you’re very important and powerful- it allows you to think in large social terms, which narcissists are better equipped for than the small scale real lives that people live on an individual level.
this clip actually showcases this exact dynamic of narcissistic pseudo-empathy. homelander is on the verge of tears just by seeing soldier boy. as a child he was raised on movies and PR. in this moment he’s confronted with the three-dimensional version of one of the few things he was capable of empathizing with, and now that he’s here he hates homelander and wants to kill him. you can see he starts to well up immediately.
if you know a narcissist you know that they cry just fine at movies but they can’t empathize for you. this show portrays narcissism perfectly it’s really incredible.

Infact infinity war fights were above anything boys did...
That iron man vs Thanos fight is still one of the best superhero fights I have ever seen
The fact that Homelander still got out from underneath 3 supes is impressive. His pure rage really is what sets him apart from the others.
He is just more powerful than they are
It's good to see him fight period. We've never seen homelander actually fight someone until now, despite all the people he's killed.Supersonic got killed offscreen, and everyone else either didn't have any powers or didn't even try to fight back
It's the fact that he had to put in _extreme_ effort to get out from underneath them - that's the real key. Now imagine Maeve was in there too; he'd have very little chance of escaping. He knows he's in very real danger, especially if anybody can be a supe now.
I think it might have been survival instinct more than rage.
It's the fact that someone could get the best of him...He was not having it lmaoo.. The writing of these characters is 🤌... He's a complete psychopath...

I couldn't stop laughing at that.
I think that was actully hot... unaware pov, lol
Homelanders reaction to being hit by the laser was priceless 😂
"...what have you done...?!"
There's a look on Homelander's face in this moment that hints at feelings of betrayal, a genuine loss of respect that Butcher took that shortcut and didn't face him as a human. There's a scene near the end of Hellsing that parallels this situation, in which [spoilers] forsakes his humanity in an attempt to best Alucard, and the latter feels betrayed because if anyone was to beat him, it needed to be a human. The reason being, there's a huge part of him that views his own loss of humanity for godlike power as a curse, and that same part of him wants humanity to win. I imagine that the very same condition runs through Homelander's mind to a certain extent (as evidenced in the mirror scene), and it's masterfully conveyed here.
ANOTHER HELLSING FAN?? Awesome!
Hellsing connoisseur, it's a pleasure to see you
Where's this world's Batman when you need him
What makes you think human can beat a supe in any way? There is difference between bravery and stupidity. Butcher is brave but he is not stupid. Butcher clearly knows its impossible to beat world's powerful supe as a human . So butcher had to take compound V to even just lay hands on homelander
You're head on when it comes to Hellsing, but... Well yeah, HL has the HL-version of respect for Butcher, but this is not it. He wants to know how Butcher got that kind of an upgrade, that's all.
Soldier boy pulls Homelander by the cape This is why No capes 🤣🤣
This is why he should've gone with Edna for superhero suit designs xD. NO CAPES.

Lmao 🤣🤣😭 he rag dolled him
Capes are awesome
That cape pull gives me Man of Steel vibes when Zod uppercut Superman in the air. Stops his ascend a second later and starts to pull the dude and his cape and threw him to them buildings lol
It makes Homelander’s entrance that much more intimidating when you realize he has super hearing and the little guy was crying out in pain, which Homelander would have heard beforehand. He didn’t step on him coincidentally, he did it because he could, because he wanted to feel powerful.
Thanks sherlock

@@EdwinTyler seeing a naked man into the fight, yeah I'm definitely confused too
I just realized the way Homelander ran away is just like Stormfront ran away from Maeve, Kimiko, and Starlight.
He definitely put up a way better fight than Stormfront did against their respective opponents.
Boys get it done
Homelander/Stormfront (the sadistic OP individual with no qualms ab hurting innocents)
Hughie/Starlight (the young, kind, optimistic soul - at first, anyway - who develops a thick skin starts showing backbone and moral ambiguity)
Butcher/Maeve (the hard ass with regular smartass jabs + a soft side for their respective younger companion that helps make them better ppl)
Soldier Boy/Kimiko (the Supe wild card that most of the boys were against working with and for good reason)
Not to mention the fact that 3/4 pairs become involved at some point in one way or another
Because they both knew they WERE going to die in that fight
@@RealHajimeHinata it really shows just how much of a monster Homelander is.
Soldier Boy's powers, like Queen Maeve's, are super strength and durability. All supes have that, but those two are on an entirely different level since it's their actual superpower. Maeve completely pummeled Stormfront on raw strength.
And Homelander is completely overpowering both Soldier Boy and Butcher (who also gets insane strength). Not to mention that Maeve was just annoying to him and easily overpowered her when he got a bit serious in their actual fight. And also add laser sight and flight. Homelander is a god among supes, let alone men.
I laughed so hard when Hughie arrived 😂
The fact that it took three of the most powerful supes just to hold him down for a bit shows how strong he is
Homelander having to fly away from fear like that really speaks volumes. He got humbled here. He's never experienced being manhandled like that his entire life.
*humbled* soilders boy was the one that got humbled, he talked mad shit to homelander and still got his ass kicked even though it was a 3V1, Butcher even with homelander powers still didn't stand a chance either, Hughie kind of didn't really do anything

Didn't expect Homelander to fight this good. Holding off all 3 of them at the same time was impressive.
Yeah it was pretty cool to see
Well he did get overwhelmed this fight was just like the fight I. season two when the girls jumped storm front
He lasted 4 mins in at 3v1 not bad
Agreed, I was relieved that they showed if anything he would have won the 1v1 with soldier boy, and even the 2v1 against soldier boy and butcher until hughie showed up and he was overwhelmed. It manages to keep him as a terrifying antagonist while also showing him vulnerable (physically) for the first time. Such a cool scene
Didn't really fight hughie. Hughie was just the distraction. It was really more of two against one with someone else in the way.

But edgar was 1000% right, shit is collapsing instantaneously with homelander in charge.
I’m still waiting on Noir to do something big. It doesn’t necessarily have to be like the comics, but I still want something huge out of him in the show.
At least this scared Homelander. All it would take would be one more to join in like Starlight and they could have finished him. It also gauges how strong Homelander really is. I don't think we've seen Homelander do any real feats of strength. Also Soldier Boy is an expert fighter, Homelander is not. If anything Homelander is going to be pretty darn scared.
Agreed, even If they don't end up killing HL (Which they probably won't) this has left him scared and his public image will probably end up being annihilated for the remainder of the season, leading Into Season 4 were It's going to be the remainder of the Supes along with HL's clone Black Noir left to kill him.
Honestly, this makes the whole series pointless, with so many supes around why is everybody afraid of Homelander when only a few people would have to team up to beat him
Starlight wouldn’t be able to do anything at all
@@darkclaw1462 Black Noir isn't Homelander's clone, it's a different character entirely.
@@darkclaw1462 BN isn't HL's clone in the show.
I love how at the beginning of their fight Homelander fights so lazily, like he’s always used to never trying in these situations. Then he finds out real quick 😅
"Cheap fucking knockoff" just sends me into tears 😂😂.
*Incredible* is the only word to describe this moment, this episode.
Insanely GREAT! Bravo to the entire crew of The Boys.... what a Masterpiece....
Probably one of the best superhero media episodes
This episode was excellent
It’s crazy to me how the best Superhero shows aren’t even being made by Marvel or DC.. and that’s their main thing.
@@firstlast9846 Marvel and DC are the best u can’t compare the boys to them plus the characters from the boys are basically copied from DC and Marvel
@@eurasianbrother1710 actually we can, the characters are completely original with some having original powers like starlight. Marvel and DC are dog shit, one is being pushed around by Disney corporates being forces to make cringey kids TV shows like Ms Marvel and butcher movies like DR Strange multiverse of madness, While DC, arguably doing a lot better now, has made mostly dog shit movies with the exception of "the joker" which was just a Taxi Driver rip off and also The Batman, which was trying wayyyy to hard to try and be like OG dark knight.
@@eurasianbrother1710 yet somehow the boys is better than any shit both marvel and dc has ever pullup
My favorite thing about this fight is how Homelander was questioning himself prior, wondering if he has what it takes to beat Soldier Boy. Then when he finally gets there & fights him he’s like “oh this isn’t shit, wtf was I worried about” lol
he will become really insane, he even marveled at the powers of Butcher
Still homelander is still OP
@@ladybabe6958 And to Omni-Man he's nothing but an ant, think about that.
@@darkclaw1462 and Omniman to Superman, Goku, One Punch Man, etc hes nothing but a microbe… What the hell are u on comparing characters from 2 totally different verses? LMAO
@@ladybabe6958 OP? he was left with bruises from the fight, if he didnt escape, he would have died
@@shahriarhakim6673
It was more of a mental defeat if anything. He still had the upper hand against Soldier Boy. It’s just that Homelander is a coward under pressure.
I actually think homelander handled himself pretty well for a guy who’s barely had a proper fight, let alone against 3 other supes. His ego is definitely still damaged though cuz he still kinda got his ass beat
@@JBD915 bro he isn’t watered down he kinda op
@@JBD915 I don’t see how it’s different from the comics and plus soldier boy is the homelander 1.0 so that’s only reason why he didn’t die so quick
@@JBD915 he doesn’t have any weaknesses besides a big ass ego most powerful supe on the show escaped a building before it a exploded and escaped from 3 dudes that wanna kill him he is op af
In diabolical it was shown that homelander basically had these guys that were like 2 his size come and beat the shit outta him on a regular basis so he probably learned most of his actual combat skills from there seeing how everyone he fights in the show before soldier boy have all been against supes way weaker than him or regular civilians that are also wayy weaker than him
I agree but he had plot armor. 1v1 Butcher should have won. Beyond the 'I will give everything and die without a care' approach along with a lifetime of actually fighting 'worthy' opponents would have meant he would be stronger (because they are stolen powers afterall) add in the other 2 and it would have been no contest
Nobody talks about how orange is a stronger form of energy on the light frequency spectrum, meaning that Butcher’s laser eyes were stronger then Homelander’s
Can't ever get over this scene, one of the best I've seen.
I got massive goosebumps when butcher said "scorched earth". The sheer shock and surprise that everyone is feeling is so well incapsulated in this scene. Homelanders general WTF, Butcher's euphoria of being able to harm his nemesis - what an incredible episode.
I swear, Karl Urban in this role is the greatest example of perfect casting there is.
@@baronofdoom 100%
@@baronofdoom kinda the whole cast is great, Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy this season is just the icing on the cake
scorched urf
Best episode of the show thus far
The actor who plays Homelander deserves an Emmy. Absolutely brilliant!
Easily the bast actor and part of the show imo.
Anthony Starr. Numb nuts
Fact
I thought homelander plays Anthony Starr
Crazy I just found out this is the same actor who played billy in without a paddle
Butcher walking in after beaming homelander gives me second phase of a boss vibe. Makes it even funnier that he was actually winning against soldier boy, and then number 2 strolls in.
The way he just casually “killed” Butcher and moved on without a moment’s hesitation or regard is psychotic. Wow
Homelander's final scream to escape was such a savage moment!!! Using all his will to escape from that single moment that could've resulted in his life ending...
That scream was animalistic terror
Right! Anthony Starr always brings it every episode
@@timovangalen1589 it was badass
Nah...i think butch and hughie lost their powers before HM due to SB's ability, and that's why he managed to escape
Don't forget - Homelander has super hearing. He knew exactly what he was doing at 0:04.
Omg yes! He purposely stepped on that lil shit
Yup!
He did help though
Doesn’t make sense because he needs as much supes on his side as possible but yeah he definitely heard him
@@yvick7770 That little dude wouldn’t have been any help. Homelander is a predator and saw weak prey, so he took it.
homelander got that extra strength and bounced once he felt a naked hughie on him 😂
What’s so fucking funny about termite being stepped on is Homelander really did hear him with his super sonic hearing 💀 he just didn’t care
Amazon did this on purpose! They hyped us up for a whole week about the orgy, "Herogasm". But really they knew the audience would be LOCKED in to the fight between Soldier Boy and Homelander. Then you add Butcher and Hughie too!?!?
This is the best episode in the whole series so far
This is one of the best episodes of television ever imo
Some kinda double meaning there too
Butcher, Hughie and Soldier Boy holding down HomeLander
And Butcher telling SB to do it
But SB having some kind of Performance Issue cant blow his load.
And after HomeLander flew Butcher, Hughie and SB lying there exhausted
Don't dig too deep into it
@@rabbiama2940 The whole episode was a giant sex joke. And I love them for it
@@rabbiama2940 lol, the only heroes who didn't gasm at the party.
Homelander has good hearing, so he intentionally stepped on Termite.
that was never in question imo
The entire audience is glad he did. Lol
Termite rip 😝
I thought the same thing haha 😂
The end is the best where Butcher and Hughie look at each other and Hughie just gives that look, like did we just kick Homelanders ass
3:31 butchers face though LMAO
This fight/episode was incredible. Seeing Homelander THAT scared is everything I ever wanted.
Then watch death battle Omni Man vs Homelander, it will make your day better
He wasn't scared in the fight scene tho. He was only scared when he saw that Soldier Boy was alive
it was a 3v1 pretty nuts he held his own
3v1 with soldier boy as one of them, and he still beat the shit out of them and got out form under them, I’d say he wasn’t scarred when being held down just unbelievably pissed
@@The_Young_Swag He was scared/angry when pinned down, if he didn't escape on time, he would have been dead. He knew that.
“Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape” 🤣🤣🤣
“No capes!” Edna Mode, ‘The Incredibles.’
@@katherineshimkus9511 always no capes! Get sucked into a plane lol
3:48 :: grabs him by his cape::
I love how Butcher smiles during his fisticuffs with Homelander.
Because finally-FINALLY-he's able to *hurt* Homelander.
And he gets to do it with his own two hands.
Butcher wasn’t even fully trying to fight Homelander. He was just enjoying being able to take Homelander’s punches and watching him flail.
Not sure if anyone noticed but when Soldier Boy was about to use his Supe nullification Blast Homelander realized his laser eyes weren't shooting lasers, that's when decided to fucking bail lmfao.
I just noticed that
Oh shit! Spot on observation! Didn't catch that at first Might have also been the reason why he was able to get away because it also means it would have weakened Billy and Huey.
He used a lot of energy from that fight. He’s gonna need some V boost.
That's a great observation, even the twins could do their lightning things
Holy shit ur right, like when the twins failed to shoot tnt, he must have felt his powers slipping, I didn’t catch this at first
4:37 the scream that he let out literally sent chills down my spine , you can tell that homelander is desperate and actually scared for once , for his whole life homelander never really faced much adversity or challenges (physical or mental) when theres finally a moment where two equally strong people (and hughie) are holding him down ready to blast him away for good , he can't help but scream in terror and use every last bit of his resolve into escaping , he quite literally activated fight or flight response
yeah man, this scene was fantastic holy
Damn, you said 2 strong people and Hughie like he was an afterthought, lmao! Nah, but for real--don't forget, he got super strength along with the teleportation powers!
I interpreted the scream more like a grunt when you lift heavy. Meaning it was desperation, but the scream showed more that he was using everything he had instead of fear.
Although he may have been scared I think the scream was more indicative of the effort he had to exert to get out.
It sounded like Homelander was beyond frustrated and pissed that all the folks he wanted to un-alive in brutal fashion have all somehow managed to challenge him in this way! It's all falling apart, and he can't even enact his plan of murdering all the people he wanted to. The company is all he has now, so I wonder what he will do if he loses that?! Also, soldier boy doesn't seem to have full control of his omni-beam, so Butcher and Hughie better ration their temp-v with Maeve gone!
@@Blackadam876 Yes,like Butcher probably isn't as strong as Homelander. I think Homelander could easily kill this 2 if Soldier boy wasn't here. The only thing Homelander needs to do is play smart and separate everybody next time they fought and kill them 1 vs 1. None of them can do shit against him 1 vs 1,even Soldier Boy.
Homelander may he stronger base, but Soldier boy can just adapt and over time get more powerful I think.
Imagine if Billy’s ability was to copy people’s powers rather than just laser vision
I love how homelander just assumes butcher is dead when he clearly sees he flew back instead of splitting in half this ep is top tier
Blinded by rage maybe, plus he's impaled people before without slicing them
He aint the smartest
yeah i mean, he can hear his heartbeat.
@@Shatter149 He's probably able to filter what he hears so there was no need to check if a human who was lasered in the chest was still alive. Plus, he had Soldier Boy to worry about.
@@LucDutra92 thats just an error to the scripting. at this point he still believes billy is a weak as a normal human, when he lasered him he literally absorbed that laser and there's no blood. i dont believe homalander can be that dumb.
That smile by butcher 🤣
Every punch was satisfying him
Bro I busted out laughing when I seen the smile LMFAOOOO
Ultra Ego Vegeta
He was having the time of his life.
Even as a normal human being, he dreamt of killing Homelander. Now he has powers, and is almost as strong as Homelander, he'll obviously enjoy the fights.
That smile...that DAMN smile......🙃🙃🙃
