It’s funny how you think Hughies mom isn’t real but you haven’t mentioned Kessler. No one has interacted with him but butcher who we know is seeing things. He could have a devil and angel on his shoulder with Kessler and becka
That's exactly what's going on and they are oblivious or ignoring it on purpose for some reason lol
I'm even more convinced after the ending of this episode. When Butcher said "we" and looked at Joe, the doctor seemed confused
Actually Newman’s Daughter’s father looked toward Kessler when butcher was talking.
They’ve def mentioned Kessler before
Kessler is a given lol
Simon Peggs performance was tragically sad and it was beautifully captured. Had me in tears at the very end of it.
It did 😢 like his dad just left him so suddenly 😢 I know the feeling in real life
He's always been a great comedic actor but he really blew me away with his dramatic performance in this.
I could barely function after this scene, the neighbors could probably hear me 😭😭😭
His last words were “Tom Hanks”. I can only hope my last words are that meaningful and poetic.
@@therumjiggler6879 I turned to my wife saying, "His last words were Tom Hanks." It's a little bit of levity in a heavy story line that hit hardest last week.
Hughie Sr. first accidental kill is a nod to the first kill of Hughie in the comics when he punches a supe through his heart.
Giancarlo Esposito's and Simon Pegg's performances were the highlights of this episode
I like that we got to see some emotional depth from the actress who plays Newman too
Pretty good ep for the dads here
Stan Edgar is such a badass
@@frogurtcremebrulee5252 Not Zoe's lol
Hughies dad storyline is getting good idk where they go now with him and his mom
MM having Biggie, Tupac, Hampton, MLK, and Malcom X on his wall is terrifying, please for the love of god don't be foreshadowing
Oh wow I didn't even think of that
he'll probably die because his phone number was the one that contacted Atrain
The next martyr
And he may be sick irl. That’s why he lost weight
@@chazzdozier2150They mean he's gonna be shot.
I loved the line "Projectile Dysfunction"
And the punch 😂
You can see Sameer running off the the side and Butcher chasing him when they leave the barn. Nice detail
Wow, that's cool!
Hughies dads whole arc this ep broke my heart
He deserved better
@@dynaguy6970yep . That really upset me . Wasn’t expecting to cry but I did.
I can’t believe we got a Mandalorian reunion between Moff Gideon and Dr. Pershing in the Boys of all places.
Ha. Didn’t catch that until now…
I especially love the Supernatural reunion even though the characters never interacted in this😢
TEK-Knight also says “It’s been a year, so it’s time for a reboot!”
A w-hole year
Every line Kessler says is literally Butcher’s deep fears and dark thoughts being spoken. It’s like him and Becca are the Angel and Devil on Butcher’s soldiers manifesting through the Compound V
No it’s not. He’s in the comics. He’s definitely he’s own character
Giancarlo Esposito is the absolute GOAT, steals every scene he’s in. Dang near cheered when Butcher and M.M. busted him out of jail lol!
I think Kessler is 1000% a hallucination
Yeah. He never interacts with anyone else. He's like the devil on Butcher's shoulder, while Becca is the angel.
@@joeblankenship377 precisely what I was thinking
Then how did he kill Ezekiel
@@gray0820 how is that remotely related?
Kessler is the infection talking to butcher
The look on sage face shows why lex luthor struggles working with the joker. Everyone has a plan until pure chaos walks into the room
We saw that one tweet buddy word for word is brazy😂
@@9000yuhI was gonna say this looks oddly familiar 😂
Sage ain't lex luthor lex ain't afraid of superman but sage clearly fears homelander
@@andrewmarsjr9879 Superman gives no one reason to be afraid. He is good.
@@xNirex44 he is scary all it take is one bad day to turn you
Sameer's reaction to Billy looking at Joe confirmed to me that Joe is either a hallucination or the parasite in him.
I'm assuming the rabbit has the same parasites that Billy has saved which is probably why Billy let it go
And the worms coming out of the rabbit could of been what happened to him when Ezekiel was ripped apart
But how did butcher cut his leg off, hide him where the secret service couldn’t find him and where Neuman couldn’t detect his blood, plant the leg in the woods, and return before his leg bled out?
There is theory that Kessler is a hallucination. What if butcher is talking to mental projection of the parasite like how eddy Brock talks to symbiote
Oooh that’s a good thought
Why would the tumor want to make something that can kill it with the virus? It kills things that have compound v in them.
This is too smart for american audience c’mon
Also we see tentacles coming out of the rabbit that probably got the same side effects Billy has from getting compound V
The worms in Billy's body might eventually grow bigger and that's what killed Ezekiel more than likely
It's why he saved it more than likey
The only time they interact without being just the 2 of them is at the end with Sameer and it looks like he doesn't understand why Butcher look at the door frame (where Kessler stands)
Whoever wrote Frenchie's line about transmitting the virus into the sheep needs a pay rise 😂
And the one revealing that he doesn't believe in the moon landing. XD
Diabolical means everything. We are 4 seasons in and by now it should be noted its Billys catchphrase
So butcher absolutely has Venom-like powers. That’s how he killed Ezekiel, with the tentacles.
Yeah when he sees that rabbit dead, it definitely seemed like those tentacles sensed it inside him and was like reaching out to him
The absurdity of this episode was great from deep being threatened with his secret octopus lover being exposed to the flying vampire sheep, it had everything i didn't know i wanted in an episode 😂.
When did Butcher have time to kidnap Samir without anyone noticing?!?
maybe he grabbed samir and ran into the woods while the sheep where all falling and tied him up and took the leg back into the barn and when they ask him where he had been he claimed to be running away idk
It was honestly unclear
And cut this leg off 😭
When he blacked out again.
When they was escaping the barn they splits into 3 groups, one of group was only Butcher and Samir
I definitely think after this episode. Hughie's Mom, being a hallucination theory, is dead in the water. BUT i have hopped on the Kessler is a hallucination theory train after this episode after i noticed that only Butcher has ever talked to and interacted with him. Hell, anytime we see Kessler. Hes never doing something that proves he is real. He just appears and follows Butcher. And we already know Butcher is hallucinating Becka. Whos to say Kessler isnt another?
I took the whole rabbit thing a little differently. I took it as he did let it go cuz he wanted to, sweet moment, cute animal etc. But when he saw it dead he kinda snapped because he tried to do the right thing or have a good moment you know. But it definitely made sense that it would piss him off if that’s how he’s gonna die
simon pegg was incredible in that episode. literally all i've thought about for the last day.
A-Train saying "Close to my heart" is such a good catch! 👍👍
I’m glad they went with killer sheep and chickens. A killer rabbit was done to perfection by Python.
Butcher drops a DIABOLICAL every season and I'm always excited for it 😂
Thank you for educating people about who was on MMs wife's wall. Of course, no other youtuber bothered to mention that because, y'know...
The "I don't want to be Jar Jar" reference is him referring to what he said earlier about Hughie not being able to put down his pet, named Jar Jar, who eventually just exploded into a painful death.
Of course Butcher saying “diabolical” means nothing. He’s said it multiple times throughout the series. Pretty sure he said it before Diabolical released
I think it was called Diabolical because Butcher says it all the time
On the Temp-V IV bag, that's not a QR code, it's a Data Matrix code, and the code is for a bag of 0.9% sodium chloride injection, just as the printed on label says.
that end scene with hughie crying was rough 😞😞 as someone who recently loss their grandpa its a horribly well acted scene
Right there with you
Fareal. Gave me flashbacks of our Dad leaving
i think we might see victoria newman or maybe even marie from gen v help get the parasite out of butcher, like eventually they’re gonna have to team up and stop homelander right? plus newman rescued stan edgar in the end and we know they still love eachother so im wondering if he will have any sway on victorias future decisions
I knew coleman was dying the second i said to myself he's getting a little too much screen time this episode "🤣.
Ryan is just one bad day away from becoming Homelander…is it too late to save lil homie?
Lil Homie should be his supe name, lol.
Probably.
@@MatthewTheWanderer right, it's much better than Homeboy 😂
@@shalinalewis2957 Agreed!
yup, homelander's grasp is closing in on him
Chicken soup ❌
Chicken Supe ✅
Cates arm is back! whats up with that?
Oh- hey- yeah! Wtf?
Ngl
Prosthetic
No close up so probably a prosthetic.
1:29 but... He didnt give his dad the V.
It was his mother...
But he bought it with the attention to do it
Simon Peggs' performance is such a stand out
It's possible Kessler isn't real. He hasn't interacted with anyone other than Butcher whom we know is hallucinating
I'm pretty sure that's the case.
smart move having Jessica tell us the easter eggs 😅
Well the virus transition, is problematic. You can’t infect dead tissue, not only that the heart isn’t pumping blood sooooo the virus would only be localized to the injection site
I mean it's also impossible to be a superhero with powers so perhaps the virus for compound V works differently to our own viruses
Tek-Knight's "12 Minutes of complete darkness" is clearly referencing the part in "The Batman" at Falcones. The one with the Muzzle-Flashes.
I love that in 2 universes now Omid Abtahi plays the head scientist doing extremely shady work and Giancarlo Esposito plays his boss
The moment they showed the leg i was like "hey, the cut is way to clean to be caused by animals. He probably cut his own leg so he could run away"
Moff Gideon and Dr Pershing
13:47 Nothing popped up because that’s not a QR code.
What if in the Homelander/Soldier Boy “team up” movie they get Jared Padalecki to play an actor playing Soldier Boy in the movie 😂😂😂
JarJar, the pet had a horrible end because Hughie couldn’t let him go. That was what Hugh Sr was calling back to. 😢
Ryan drinking the milkshake with that smile on his face… I think he’s much closer to the comic book 3rd soldier boy than we think.
And how about Simon Pegg’s Hugh killing the Hot Fuzz inspired security guard?
I also think Hugh Sr. had a power similarly to hughie. He ran fast and that's why he could phase. He had a speedster's phasing, similar to the flash. But because he was brain dead, his body was reacting with instincts and only with a fight or flight response. That's why he either ran away or tried to kill what frightened him or made him angry.
How did butcher cut off and kidnap Samere so fast while all that was going on where would he have the time to do that?
Icl I think that the tentacles are now sentient for butcher cause he took compound V. Which would upgrade the temp V tentacles. Maybe they’ll have like a symbiotic relationship like venom.
Ahhh… good point
It's stated in the first two minutes of the video that Hughie gave his dad the V when it was his mom. Do the performers who deliver the reporting on this channel not even take the time to watch the episodes? It seems like you guys get fed information directly from the studios which is neat, but you should at least watch what you're reporting on.
Yeah sometimes you can tell they’re just reading from something someone else made for them.
How are you saying that hughie gave his dad the V when it was clear in the last episode and it was specified in this one that mom did it
"Whatever that juice was"; it was obviously Compound V.
Thing is, at the end with the leg, I thought if I could see it, anyone could. That is a VERY clean cut on his leg. No animal without laser eyes would make a cut that clean...
I just wasn't ready for the end of this episode. 😢😢😢😢 had me crying like a baby for like 15min.
It makes a lot of sense that kessler is a hallucination, its as if rebecca is butcher's voice of good and reason while kessler is a manifestation of the worst of butcher, since rebecca is in his head, kessler might be too. Perhaps kessler was a figure of butcher's past that his compound v imagination is using
Why didn’t Newman just explode the sheep ?
This
Hugh Sr dying hit me right in the feels after having both my parents pass in '23 from dementia and cardiac related issues.
Having him mention how tough it was for Hughie even to put Jar Jar down was like way to close to the chest because i put down my final cat of five that i had growing up earlier this year and i was so angry and upset i was powerless to do anything to stop it
Ugh same, my dad passed in February in the hospital and I actually had to just FF through the end of their scene
I'm wondering if there's gonna be consequences for Hughie and his mom. They gave Hughie's dad compound V and he went on a little murder spree in the hospital. How would they not catch manslaughter charges?
Vought cover-up
My thought too. Vought/Homelander must be thinking who gave Hughie the V and this might be the end of A Train
I think Whiskey Sunrise was a parody of Tequila Sunrise.
I agree less fighting between butcher and starlight
13:34 how do you NOT mention this scene referencing breaking bad, especially with giancarlo espocito (stan/gus fring) RIGHT THERE
I didn't even make that link damn that was good 😂
The Vchickens will forever be a reference to the murder chickens of kakariko village
I love Giancarlo Esposito. His performance this episode was fantastic as always. I'm so glad he didn't get eaten by a dire sheep.
It’s funny how they had random people with them in the barns scenes. They included extra people just for them to be the ones to die 😂
NR videos are becoming less and less easter egg, fun facts and more of just recapping the main story points. Disappointing
Agreed.
i think the reason why Hugh randomly went for that guy's heart, and why the animals are aggressive is going to lead to zombies in season 5
I swore Neuman was neutralizing Starlights powers 😭 I was like “Yooo this itch is strong asffff”
You could also mention that Sameer, when Butcher was talking to Kessler, looked very confused. As if watching Butcher turn and speak to someone that wasn’t even there.
The tek knight pitch about "nirvana hits" was definitely a batman reference, the last batman movie had that "underneath the bridge" nirvana song in the beginning and at the end
That was the best picture of Prince Andrew that I have seen! lol Great Job!!
In regards to the news article about Stan Edgar’s homes, does anybody expect season 5 to make references to Puff Daddy bc it would definitely fit in the Boys universe
Small point it was Huey’s mom that gave his Dad the V. Js..
Blue Thunder - 1983 - Roy Schieder and Malcolm McDowell starring.
how come it seems like no one is mentioning the gen V actor Chance Perdomo who passed away in real life?
My dad is having heart surgery tomorrow...and I just watched the Hughie's dad dying scene. Messed me up!😭
The Whiskey Sunrise poster was a parody of the film Tequila Sunrise
I just finished the episode, so glad I waited!
I just love how fast you guys are. And hey, it's cosplay, not cosperfect, you could totally rock either Starlight outfit!
The actor who plays Samir is the same as Dr Pershing in Mando isn’t he? Now we have Pershing and Gideon in the Boys😂
5:00 I feel "Vought Studio" logo looks like the "Marvel Studio" logo
Duh
Mcbain: Thats the joke...
Sameer also looks at butcher almost like he talking to noone. More proof, Jeffrey D Morgan's character is part of Butcher's hallucinations
you can't help but wonder how sage feels about being the only member who doesn't get a movie
Since those farm animals mutated because they consumed V-contaminated water, I wonder if the same thing can happen to humans…
14:08 I’m pretty sure the joke was that they’re playing the version by Joseph William Morgan instead of the original by Marvin Gaye, another race swap.
5:50 yes it is baby❤❤❤😍😍😍
Simon Pegg wrote a fairly scathing article about JarJar and the Phantom Menace for Hotdog Magazine in 1999/2000. That river runs deep.
Idk how the wood door is stopping V'd up sheep that can carry a V'd up bull like nothing!?
Facts
When the secret service members walked into the barn the first time I thought “oh cool some redcoats”
Been waiting !!!
Same
Justice for Jar Jar Binks!! Goated character
Imagine mentioning the True Blue Miracle line and skipping the Sesame Street reference. Kids these days.
I believe in season 3, when we have the flashback of Grace with Payback, Stan Edgar mentions Vought American, and that was in 1984. So the 52 in V52 can't be from when the company's name changed. When I saw V52 I immediately thought it was just a reference to DC's Earth-52
Simon Pegg definitely made up with the Star Wars crowd. He was even in Episode 7.
Who did he play?
Diabolical is butchers favorite word he said it in sesosn 1
And 2 and 3 lol
Hey, the line about the virus only being able to be transmitted though "blood, saliva and semen" it's a reference to the OTHER must fucked up comic by the author of The Boys, that's "Crossed"
5:51 So? Anyone should and can dress up however they want as long as they're comfortable and are having fun.
"Iron Eyes Cody total fugazzi." If you know this reference we can be friends
