See i disagree. Stilwell as a man acts as Homelanders father figure, and goes quite a bit into Freudian psychology. Their dynamic is far more interesting than the shows I feel
I tried to read the comic. It was unreadable for me. Horrible comic. The art style was all over the place and I didn't really like the storys either. The series on the other hand is amazing.
A-Train doesn't run through Hughie's girlfriend in the comics. He throws a bad guy hard enough to rip her arms off and slam her into a wall, turning her into a pancake.
@@deathserpent9747 Oh my bad, I thought by brutal you meant like more gory or unsettling or whatever, from like a reader’s pov. Getting obliterated like that is more brutal, fair.
In the comics, "compound v" is reserved for the Boys only. They take it. It makes them more super than the supes, making them feel weak in comparison to The Boys. It's just a completely different story, more about revenge than satire.
So is this basically how season 3 will play out? I'm guessing they'll find some way to get ahold of some super-er version of compound v. I kinda figured, at some point, they would do something like this i'm just surprised Butcher didn't inject any yet.
@@FragmentedR_YT but just like in the comics, the comic butcher is way more anti super than the tv show, and in the comic book he took the v, so I think it would make sense
I dont think the boys are stronger than the 7 in the comics. The 7 overall are more powerful, but the boys have actual strategic planning and coordination that make them more effective overall. Its discussed directly in the comics when some organization (i forget which) is theorizing over who would win a Boys vs 7 conflict.
Note, if you foward the video until the end and then rewind and foward and so on, all the ads go away or you will only get one but its a small price to watch without other ads
Like in the comics everyone has access to compound v and use it to fight on even terms so they don’t need supers unlike the show, also most of the heroes on the show are pretty true to the comics in terms of strength, with the only exception being the boys (who are so much stronger and also act as an actual CIA branch in the comics, they can take out B tier teams like nothing).
This is such a base level understanding of the boys, it’s not just a satire/ parody of superheroes but also a satire of how the worlds run today. We put celebrities and people in charge on such a high pedestal that we turn a blind eye to when they abuse their power, just like in the boys.
yes! I can also add that it satires modern media superheroes too, look what they did with she-hulk, they created a garbage product and will try to defend it, no matter how bad it is, they go balls deep into trying to convince you thay it's good, and slowly turning al super hero content into a money producing machine instead of dedicating enough time for to be good
A version of Uncle Ben is out there where he became Spider-Man. He comes out in the spider-verse storyline. He ends up becoming Grandpa Ben and taking care of baby Ben in marvel universe 2 also being there for spider girl.
It's one of the first times where I can say I don't mind the changes, the comics are great, the series is grate, I just hope they don't screw it up like always
Just a quick correction. Simon Pegg is English, not Scottish. However the character of Hughie in the comics is Scottish. Only his likeness was based on Pegg
I was looking for this as well. I only watched the series, so I’m pretty interested if they will actually use the Cloned Homelander as Black Noir. It’s been said that we haven’t seen the last of him.
@@DrkEmotionless The series is great. I think they will bring back Black Noir as homelanders over powered and over psychotic clone. It would fit as no one would recognize the difference. But the stories changed drastically so who knows. Looking forward to see where they take it
@@DrkEmotionlesshomelander mentions he can see though his mask and see his face, he would’ve mentioned their similarities. Also, he’s black in the flashback before he gets his face melted.
@@kronickruesaderthe only chance would be a new Black Noir (just like s4 one) with Zinc mask (Homelander can't see through Zinc) then reveals himself as his clone. It would be a cool ending, but umh... how can there be a clone of Homelander and no one knows about it? That's something hard to pull off.
The Stilwell change was fantastic. They gave the cold unfeeling calculated nature that affects Homelander to Edgar, while giving the closeness and this uncomfortable intimacy with Madelyn and Homelander. I also really like what the series did for Starlight. Watching the series of unfortunate events in one character is far less gripping than what they did with her in the series
Totally! Starlight from the comics sounds a lot like a passive victim, which is grating on several levels. Having her actively try to fight for what she believes is right, but still suffer the indignities of having to work with this bunch of crooks, is much more relateable.
@@Micolashcage1 considering they left out the propaganda that was in the comics, it makes no sense to call her "queen". The shock of compound V being public wasn't so bad in the show as it was in the comics.

Funny how 1 year later we would get introduced into some things from this video, like The Legend, Maeve Alcoholic, MM true reason to hate Vought, etc. This show is so good. Can't wait to see more.
I've only watched the tv show so can't imagine Stillwell and Stormfront being men, I think them being women makes far more sense. Plus from his description in this video there's a male stillwell anyway when Giancarlo is introduced.
Don't forget that instead of Black Noir being the contingency plan for when Homelander goes rouge, Ryan Butcher replaces him as the contingency plan in the show.
Idk black noir had a few moments where I thought he was gonna fight homelander but hes just waiting on him to cross that line in front of him because there was one scene in particular with starlight where black noir started to get up like he was gonna do something to homelander
@@jancarlosmanon4556 at least in the series he's significantly older than anyone in the 7, he was in the original Payback team along with Soldier Boy, so he couldn't be Homelander's clone
You forgot to mention how in comics Black Noir was an evil clone of Homelander, prepared to kill him if things ever went out of control. He was also stronger than homelander. Whereas in the show black noir appears way weaker than homelander and has an allergy to nuts. He also doesn't seem like a clone.
this show is a fantastic example of how you can take a piece of media and adapt it differently to improve it. The Boys is great as a loose adaptation, mostly because the story in the show is so much more compelling and better.
I don’t think Black Noir could carry a spin off unless it’s something like the Mandalorian but I think the creators said that Black Noir would not have his identity revealed
In the comics, as opposed to just The Deep sexually assaulting Starlight, the other men of The Seven do so as well. I believe it was Homelander that initiated it in the comics, as well. The comics are way too wild to be adapted more directly. I think one of the biggest differences is the relationship The Boys have with Compound V in the comics. I enjoy the comics and the show, but they are almost as different as they are alike.
Well. In the comics its just the 3 guys, Black Noir, Homelander, and A-Train. True though, where I think the comic series is infinitely better, its way too wild to have a direct adaptation. Homelander (cough) devouring a baby is kinda intense.
I think the legend got a throw away line by Maeve. When she was telling Elana about this producer who sat next to her at a premiere or something and was talking to her all night but Homelander killed him? Idk sounds pretty plausible to me
So far I feel most of the changes work very well, especially Hughie being American, cause it just cuts out the middle man of him needing to then go to America after his girlfriend's death. I'm going to spoil the comics a lot now, so Spoiler Warning. I doubt Black Noir is still going to be a Homelander clone in the show, which he was in the comics. The thing that makes me sure about that more than anything is Diabolical, since Black Noir went out of his way to help Homelander and protect his image, potentially being the only person Homelander can actually trust. In the comics, Black Noir was created to stop Homelander in case he went off the rails, and went crazy from being told "kill this man but only when we tell you to" then being kept in close proximity to him. I believe Black Noir does end up killing Homelander, and he's left damaged enough (literally torn apart) from the fight to then be killed. I think Homelander's son will be filling in for this role, since he will also have Homelander's powers, and has the potential to become just as, if not stronger than Homelander, though hopefully won't be insane.
Homelander clone black nior version is stupid anyways. Doesn't make sense, vaught thought "ohhh we are going to make a super un-killable insanely powerful evil Superman that can wipe out the human race if he wanted to, and our contingency plan is to make 2 of them!!! " Dumb plan
Welp, the opposite happened in the serie, Homlander killed Black Noir, the serie gonna have different ending after season 3, I mean, having Becky alive and the Ryan already changed the story permanently
Eh, in the context of One Piece it actually doesn’t offer much of anything in terms of additive ability outside of being all but immune to blunt force attacks. *Luffy* (who is a super prodigy according to Reileigh) spent 10 years learning to make them usable.
Mothers Milk story in the series could still be the same as the comic (or almost) as he didn't explain it much, he skipped the issue that got his father making a lawsuit against Vought.
@@aguyinabox5098 I’m pretty sure his mother worked in a factory and was exposed to compound v causing MM to develop powers and also become addicted to his mothers breast milk hence the name (will actually die without it) his mentally handicapped brother also had powers but died brutally due to them manifesting, this made his dad file a lawsuit against vought basically solidifying them onto their shit list
I’m pretty sure A-Train knew Popclaw in the comics because he was formally on the same team as her which is “Teenage Kix”. But hey we don’t know we have no evidence.
"The Legend doesn't exist" didn't age well 😂. They've introduced him now. Thanks for making the video by the way, because I was never going to check out the comics myself.
They went and made an irredamble character in the comics one of the MOST tragic characters in the series. I felt so bad for what happened to Noir, he was arguably one of the few 'good' supes in the series
Side note: In context the female's origin in the comic is presented as anything but a reliable narrative, especially since it is related by Frenchie (and take a look at his origin tale).
If you didn't go to that point in the comics you can't understand the spoiler, hence it's not a spoiler, it like saying a photo of luke and darth vader is a spoiler
The single biggest difference which was also included in the thumbnail of black noir not being a clone of homelander is somehow not in this video but the fact that terror is present in the show...less than in the comics is

Hulk was an attempt to recreate the "effect" of the super soldier serum. Not the exact formula. As was Luke cage, wolverine (as well as everyone else in weapon x) and most other government experiments
Frenchie, in the series, calls Hughie as Petit Hughie in the first season even though Jack Quaid is over 6ft tall. He even retorts, "I am not that short.". This is because comic book Hughie is a short, portly man.
Actually, villains can also go through tragic losses. Villains aren’t just evil by default, something terrible must happen to them as a reason. Example, a bully intimidates others to avoid getting bullied again :/
Fun fact: Different from media shows, bullies usually are surrounded by friends, they always act in group. The bullied is always the quiet person, with no friends and who dont punch back.
He's talking about villains in the sense of superhero media. The classic villain is generally someone who comes into great power and abuses it. (and the first definition for 'villain' is literally 'a wicked or evil person' so one can argue they ARE evil, if not by default then by definition lmao)
@@ThePipojp My problem with Ennis' work in general. He does a great work with some of the pre-existing characters (Superman, Punisher, Wonder Woman), but his original work is most gross, disturbing stuff for the sake of shock factor and the story isn't always flashed out enough
If Starlight turn electric energy into light energy. Why then didn’t she use Stormfront’s power to charge herself? And to add she should be able to use electrical energy humans produce to charge her power.
Humans doesn't generate nearly as enough energy for it to be interesting to her. At ease, we generate the EQUIVALENT of 100W, but almost none of that is actual electricity. You couldn't light a bulb with that... Even less so recharge a supe.
Watching this after season 3 has started makes me realise what new things they are bringing into the show and their origin.. the legend, temporary V and a few other points have seeped in.
@@brynnamoran4320 She's meant to be like some kind of satire of strong female characters being used for nothing other than to be a feminist icon for the masses is she not? Like a whole point of the show is that she is much more as a person deep down than what public image she entails
Im happy they changed homelander's son's actor from season 1 to 2. The one from season 1 looks like a bully you'd see in disney movies. It's a lot easier to sympathise with the one from season 2
Also, Hughie's dad says "Jinks" at some point in the show, referencing some of the very first pages of the comic, where Hughie says it and the soon-to-be dead Robin brings it up.
4:14 and what a turning point that was! It really caught me off guard... Rarely I have felt disgust and anger watching a scene play out, and oh boy how this one delivered! Definitely a scene worth an award for the show.
I'm a sucker for super heroes and brutal violence..not to mention the great mix of modern humor and perfect reflection of the problems we face today with politics, media, and social culture. My respects mmhm.
In the comics, Maeve, Homelander, and Black Noir are considered "The Big Three" of the Seven (irreplaceable) so it isn't too much of a stretch to call them the Holy Trinity.
A-Train killed Pop Claw out of mercy because we was certain Vought or more likely Homelander would take her out after finding out she gave the boys secret info. He wasn’t naive nor hopeful enough to believe he could save her so he decided to save her from a painful gruesome death. It ties into how terrified they all are of Homelander, to the point that while A-Train is basically a douchey super-powered athlete with an ego, at the heart of it he’s a scared guy who has little to no hope in fighting this world’s true evils, even when he has a reason to want to.
@@Nitzah just started watching it. homelander did have a part in it. but i do feel like it was a mercy killing( either he kills her or vought/homelander comes after her.)
Every change they did was remarkably well done.. usually you get hundreds of thousands of angry people when you change anything but The Boys is the 1 outlier
He says stretchy powers are useless, yet when characters in fiction use it they are pretty powerful. For example Mr Fantastic the *LEADER* of the fantastic 4 and luffy from one piece.
Black Noir in the comics: Literally dismembers Homelander, eats a baby and kills Butcher's wife and is a clone of homelander. vs. Black Noir in the live-action series: Schizophrenic dude, not homelander.
Obviously this was made before season 3 and The Legend has made an appearance there. I really appreciate the way that the different storylines between the graphic novels and tv series have been dealt with in such a way that nobody knows what's coming next but best of all, current events have enabled the filming team to make it into a satire of fake American values and take a good old honest swipe at some of the US's dirty deeds in the past.
I really like both the show and the comic even though they’re so different from each other. The comic was kinda short and really brutal and the show still gets dirty but has more lighthearted moments. I just hope they change the ending entirely in the show too cause my heart can’t take the pain a second time
This video nails it: The series strength is its satire. When A-Train did a Kendal Kenner Pepsi commercial for his own soft drink, it was satire gold. I laughed my buttocks off. This is a brilliant series. Raw, yes but brilliant.

The comics are way too wild to be adapted more directly. I think one of the biggest differences is the relationship The Boys have with Compound V in the comics. I enjoy the comics and the show, but they are almost as different as they are alike.
Well. In the comics its just the 3 guys, Black Noir, Homelander, and A-Train. True though, where I think the comic series is infinitely better, its way too wild to have a direct adaptation. Homelander (cough) devouring a baby is kinda intense.
@@samuelwood8010 that was not homelander ...., it was black noir
How can u enjoy something so terribly written and disgusting?
@@spideyguy3315 What are you talking about?
@@BranceCrantly the comics
I think the legend got a throw away line by Maeve. When she was telling Elana about this producer who sat next to her at a premiere or something and was talking to her all night but Homelander killed him? Idk sounds pretty plausible to me
I know you probably know by now but the legend is introduced in season 3
@@joyc9844 The perks of living in the future.
Legend is back in S3, though he talk more about Soldier Boy and snorting cokes occasionally
So far I feel most of the changes work very well, especially Hughie being American, cause it just cuts out the middle man of him needing to then go to America after his girlfriend's death.
I'm going to spoil the comics a lot now, so Spoiler Warning. I doubt Black Noir is still going to be a Homelander clone in the show, which he was in the comics. The thing that makes me sure about that more than anything is Diabolical, since Black Noir went out of his way to help Homelander and protect his image, potentially being the only person Homelander can actually trust. In the comics, Black Noir was created to stop Homelander in case he went off the rails, and went crazy from being told "kill this man but only when we tell you to" then being kept in close proximity to him. I believe Black Noir does end up killing Homelander, and he's left damaged enough (literally torn apart) from the fight to then be killed. I think Homelander's son will be filling in for this role, since he will also have Homelander's powers, and has the potential to become just as, if not stronger than Homelander, though hopefully won't be insane.
Homelander clone black nior version is stupid anyways. Doesn't make sense, vaught thought "ohhh we are going to make a super un-killable insanely powerful evil Superman that can wipe out the human race if he wanted to, and our contingency plan is to make 2 of them!!! " Dumb plan
With season 3, they confirmed your suspicions with Black Noir literally being black
@@lilricebowl9731 didn't the original black noir die in Nicaragua?
@@aarnavchaturvedi2552 no you see him still alive, he just can’t talk and it seems like he got brain damage too
Welp, the opposite happened in the serie, Homlander killed Black Noir, the serie gonna have different ending after season 3, I mean, having Becky alive and the Ryan already changed the story permanently
Stretching isn’t the worst power ask luffy
Then again luffy is made of rubber
When he was talking shit about stretchy powers all I could think of was Luffy’s KKG like sure, ‘worst power’ that can fold a fucking island
Eh, in the context of One Piece it actually doesn’t offer much of anything in terms of additive ability outside of being all but immune to blunt force attacks. *Luffy* (who is a super prodigy according to Reileigh) spent 10 years learning to make them usable.
Not bad in bed too

Why wouldn't they put Simon Pegg in The Boys?
@@unfortunatewitnessXsimon said he was too old to play hughie so he played his dad
Mothers Milk story in the series could still be the same as the comic (or almost) as he didn't explain it much, he skipped the issue that got his father making a lawsuit against Vought.
What is his story in comics tell
@@aguyinabox5098 I’m pretty sure his mother worked in a factory and was exposed to compound v causing MM to develop powers and also become addicted to his mothers breast milk hence the name (will actually die without it) his mentally handicapped brother also had powers but died brutally due to them manifesting, this made his dad file a lawsuit against vought basically solidifying them onto their shit list
@@billyd-fr7fl It was less he got addicted and more like when they tried multiple times to wean him off of it as a baby he almost died every time.
@@leadpaintchips9461 I would say that qualifies as being addicted no?
@@billyd-fr7fl That's dependent, not addicted. If that was the case, we're all addicted to water and air.
The Legend is now in The Boys.
He was in the new episode 5 that just came out
I’m pretty sure A-Train knew Popclaw in the comics because he was formally on the same team as her which is “Teenage Kix”. But hey we don’t know we have no evidence.
"The Legend doesn't exist" didn't age well 😂. They've introduced him now. Thanks for making the video by the way, because I was never going to check out the comics myself.
They went and made an irredamble character in the comics one of the MOST tragic characters in the series. I felt so bad for what happened to Noir, he was arguably one of the few 'good' supes in the series
Side note: In context the female's origin in the comic is presented as anything but a reliable narrative, especially since it is related by Frenchie (and take a look at his origin tale).
Bruh this thumbnail is such a spoiler for the comics lol like I’m glad I read it already
It's a very very very stupid decision on their part. Who tf approved this? Smfh
@Owen Wijaya ignorant lol my comment literally says the thumbnail is a spoiler for the COMICS
@Owen Wijaya learn how to read LMAOOO
@Owen Wijaya small brain
If you didn't go to that point in the comics you can't understand the spoiler, hence it's not a spoiler, it like saying a photo of luke and darth vader is a spoiler
Hope they get a boost in funding for season 3! I feel we’re in for a big supe fight soon
The single biggest difference which was also included in the thumbnail of black noir not being a clone of homelander is somehow not in this video but the fact that terror is present in the show...less than in the comics is
Recap:
1/gender swap
2/homlander more of a killing machine in comic
3/jack from jupiter becomes translucent in the show
4/in comic the plane crush in a bridge
5/the boys use compund v
6/the deep
7/the origine of the female
8/hughie

The Hulk was not the result of super soldier serum - He was bombarded with Gamma radiation.
That’s Comic Hulk. MCU Hulk was the result of both.
Hulk was an attempt to recreate the "effect" of the super soldier serum. Not the exact formula. As was Luke cage, wolverine (as well as everyone else in weapon x) and most other government experiments
@@fox2569 The default cannon for super heroes as far as I'm concerned is their original appearances. In this case, the comics.
He was exposed during a job he was doing for Gen Ross to recreate the super soldier serum.
These ads keep messing up my comment reading....
Frenchie, in the series, calls Hughie as Petit Hughie in the first season even though Jack Quaid is over 6ft tall. He even retorts, "I am not that short.". This is because comic book Hughie is a short, portly man.
I'd like to throw in that A Trains side effects from abusing Compound V are all things that would technically make him faster
MM not having powers makes things a lot different but the whole soldier boy thing now has given him a nice new arch
Actually, villains can also go through tragic losses. Villains aren’t just evil by default, something terrible must happen to them as a reason. Example, a bully intimidates others to avoid getting bullied again :/
Fun fact: Different from media shows, bullies usually are surrounded by friends, they always act in group. The bullied is always the quiet person, with no friends and who dont punch back.
Not true
He's talking about villains in the sense of superhero media. The classic villain is generally someone who comes into great power and abuses it. (and the first definition for 'villain' is literally 'a wicked or evil person' so one can argue they ARE evil, if not by default then by definition lmao)
Jack homer breaks that rule
"Nobody in the Comics is dead except Uncle Ben"
Peter Parker: I know, I know...
The only thing you need to know is that the comics is disturbing enough that no studio would dare touch some of its subject matters, not even Amazon.
like Tek Knight getting it on with a meteorite
It's more that the comic is honestly pretty edgy and convoluted
@@ThePipojp My problem with Ennis' work in general. He does a great work with some of the pre-existing characters (Superman, Punisher, Wonder Woman), but his original work is most gross, disturbing stuff for the sake of shock factor and the story isn't always flashed out enough
Cbr: he has the worst super power stretchy powers
Luffy: am I a joke to you
Luffy is a joke tho
@@aro4322 I mean kinda
@@aro4322 Snake man was dope though
Plastic Man: hold my gear
If Starlight turn electric energy into light energy. Why then didn’t she use Stormfront’s power to charge herself?
And to add she should be able to use electrical energy humans produce to charge her power.
Humans doesn't generate nearly as enough energy for it to be interesting to her. At ease, we generate the EQUIVALENT of 100W, but almost none of that is actual electricity. You couldn't light a bulb with that... Even less so recharge a supe.
I was literally thinking of this as they were fighting, like shouldn’t pure lightning be more than enough to like supercharge her powers??
"Ezekiel had the worst powers known to superpowers, stretchy."
I mean, One Piece makes having a rubbery body seem pretty sick.
Well after the reveal his main powers are not just a rubbery body but the powers of Sun God Nika too
Watching this after season 3 has started makes me realise what new things they are bringing into the show and their origin.. the legend, temporary V and a few other points have seeped in.
The Boys isn't really a critique of superheroes or the superhero genre, it's a critique of American capitalism
If it really were accurate there'd be a socialist superhero simping for megacorps
@@diesemautokerl2181 What is Queen Maeve if not a neoliberal girlboss?
@@brynnamoran4320 She's meant to be like some kind of satire of strong female characters being used for nothing other than to be a feminist icon for the masses is she not? Like a whole point of the show is that she is much more as a person deep down than what public image she entails
feel like it can be both
@@diesemautokerl2181 socialism isn't the only criticism of capitalism
Pls just call her kimiko they changed it from "the female" for a reasonnn
Pls stop crying nerd
Im happy they changed homelander's son's actor from season 1 to 2. The one from season 1 looks like a bully you'd see in disney movies. It's a lot easier to sympathise with the one from season 2
heres the real difference
comics- objectively worst character
show- objectively best character
The worst superpower from superpower-dom: STRETCHY POWER
Mr. Fantastic: "How DARE you..." *chokes them with his 'worst super power'*
Plastic Man: *laughs in literally one of the strongest characters in the DC universe*
This deconstructs the superhero genre with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
I like how in season 3 they introduce The Legend
1:01 I CANNOT BELIEVE that a modern day show gender swapped a _MAN TO A WOMAN!_ That's pretty shocking!
Also, Hughie's dad says "Jinks" at some point in the show, referencing some of the very first pages of the comic, where Hughie says it and the soon-to-be dead Robin brings it up.
8:50 it looks more like: what if celebrities got superpowers.
I think our "Kevin Feige" character is the little director guy ashley fcked in the bathroom s3 ep 1
When you wanna combine Superman and captain America but the machine wasn’t ready
4:14 and what a turning point that was! It really caught me off guard... Rarely I have felt disgust and anger watching a scene play out, and oh boy how this one delivered! Definitely a scene worth an award for the show.
Anthony Starrs acting as Homelander is the second best acting I’ve seen in Comic book media
Whos 1st
Whos #1?

11:40 queen maeve rounds out the holy 'trinity' of the 'seven'? There is a lot of things wrong with this sentence 😂
In the comics, Maeve, Homelander, and Black Noir are considered "The Big Three" of the Seven (irreplaceable) so it isn't too much of a stretch to call them the Holy Trinity.
It's to continue the parody of batman, superman and wonder woman. They are called the Trinity.
"No one stays dead in comics....... except uncle Ben" had me on the floor
As a guy who just finished season 2 i really got disappointed with the thumbnail after searching it
they aren’t doing it in the show so dw
12:30 now we know the legend DOES exist
Crazy the legend just appeared this season
I like black noir alot he doesn't talk much but he's an awesome assassin
A-Train killed Pop Claw out of mercy because we was certain Vought or more likely Homelander would take her out after finding out she gave the boys secret info. He wasn’t naive nor hopeful enough to believe he could save her so he decided to save her from a painful gruesome death. It ties into how terrified they all are of Homelander, to the point that while A-Train is basically a douchey super-powered athlete with an ego, at the heart of it he’s a scared guy who has little to no hope in fighting this world’s true evils, even when he has a reason to want to.
He killed popclaw out of homelander's orders though?
@@KantHandleThis I don’t recall that being the case, Im fairly certain it was a mercy killing but I could be wrong.
@@Nitzah just started watching it. homelander did have a part in it. but i do feel like it was a mercy killing( either he kills her or vought/homelander comes after her.)
Comics Noir kills Homelander
Show: Homelander kills Noir
Every change they did was remarkably well done.. usually you get hundreds of thousands of angry people when you change anything but The Boys is the 1 outlier
"The worst Power in Super Powerdom, Stretchy Powers "😅😅 I think a certain Pirate named Luffy turned that around .
I love MM’s comic book version way more, that twist was so crazy
Feel obliged to point out that Simon Pegg isn't Scottish, he's English. Still cool to find out why they cast him as Hughie's Dad though
He says stretchy powers are useless, yet when characters in fiction use it they are pretty powerful. For example Mr Fantastic the *LEADER* of the fantastic 4 and luffy from one piece.
Black Noir in the comics: Literally dismembers Homelander, eats a baby and kills Butcher's wife and is a clone of homelander.
vs.
Black Noir in the live-action series: Schizophrenic dude, not homelander.
OI, Terror. Fuck it!
Obviously this was made before season 3 and The Legend has made an appearance there.
I really appreciate the way that the different storylines between the graphic novels and tv series have been dealt with in such a way that nobody knows what's coming next but best of all, current events have enabled the filming team to make it into a satire of fake American values and take a good old honest swipe at some of the US's dirty deeds in the past.
I really like both the show and the comic even though they’re so different from each other. The comic was kinda short and really brutal and the show still gets dirty but has more lighthearted moments. I just hope they change the ending entirely in the show too cause my heart can’t take the pain a second time
The show is 10 times better than the boner hate garth has for superheros
This video nails it: The series strength is its satire. When A-Train did a Kendal Kenner Pepsi commercial for his own soft drink, it was satire gold. I laughed my buttocks off. This is a brilliant series. Raw, yes but brilliant.
I want the boys to get powers two seasons before the end
“Darker secret” 💀 4:01
You didn’t even get into Stormfront being a dude in the comics
I like to imagine Venoms name would be something like “Blank ink” or “black goo”
Well the show's writers did a great job because often than not changing things fail and they still managed to pull a great story from it
I thought I was alone in thinking the show is waaaay better than the comic.
But seems most comments agree with me.
Simon Pegg isn't Scottish but still love the Spaced connection
