Fun fact: in the comics Hughie is intentionally modeled after Simon Pegg, that’s why he plays Hughies dad in the show. He’s a bit too old now to play Hughie himself
@@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090 I'm not American myself but I cannot stand his bad accent haha. I hear the british undertones in the american whenever he says anything :P
Queen Maeve was a Celtic Warrior Queen, who invaded Ulster, and plays a part in the stories of a lot of Celtic mythological Heroes, like Cu Chulainn. So instead of being Greek mythology like Wonder Woman, it's Celtic
Queen Maeve was queen of Connaught, which is basically the west of Ireland. Her tomb is on the mountain behind my house. Knocknarea. The only cool thing about the west of ireland
@@ducksauce9187 depends, what kind of anime you're watching , cause some are just comedy or the classic stuff, but then you got the ones specifically created for people with fetishes
Yeah ..Jack Quaid (Hughie ) is the son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. You start to see them humanizing characters like A-Train and Popclaw ..they aren’t great people but you can understand their motivations. MM and Frenchie’s dynamic is great and provides for some of the funniest moments in the show . Anthony Starr is so good as Homelander .. he can switch so instantly from the charming ,wholesome public persona to the intimidating ,sociopathic true self
One of the reasons that make's this show great is that the writers treat everybody as human beings and not 1 dimensional characters or plot devices unlike the The Boys comic book series.
@@taimurmuggo1634 It also does have a optimistic outlook on true heroism as it demonstrates at the end. When it shows both sides of the spectrum of Supes and the regular people.
Camy Slays not necessarily feel for him but understand him He’s need to stay on top and his genuine love for Popclaw I feel humanized as much more then the asshole he was presented at the beginning
Ant was also in a New Zealand show called Outrageous Fortune where he played twins who were absolute opposites - asshole lawyer Jethro and stoner with a heart of gold Van. There's not many clips on YT but here's a short one: ruclips.net/video/ibew-vGffH0/видео.html He switched so easily between the two roles that I know people who've watched an entire season of the show without realising it was the same actor ;)
I feel like this series is the perfect example of what a gritty DCEU could have been. It’s still serious and pessimistic and dark but it’s not...well for lack of better words...like the DCEU. It’s not afraid to have a little comedy to break up the bleakness. Proving that you can have jokes in something with it still having that dark tone
@@cosmicmaster1006 I feel like its diffrent with deadpool i know hes dark and all but i really seem him more of a funny moive guy than dark, even though he does dark stuff
@@jakethebigbrain3182 i honestly can't fully remember what my full thoughts were last year but I believe what I was trying to say was like yea deadpool has comedy while still being fun whereas Joker was just dark and depressing the entire film without a single ounce of fun.
@@cosmicmaster1006the joker was supposed to be depressing. It couldn't really be a fun goofy movie like Deadpool because the characters are totally different.
@@abnercliff9624 oh i know that, and it was a great film but i preferred deadpool. And i think linking back to the initial comment, joker is an outlyer here. It being depressing works and makes sense for the story and whatnot but the others kinda feel like they're doing it just to say hey were mature haha
1:15 The mayor actually died because Himelander was flying outside the office window that night. Go watch the scene again. I just barely caught it my first time watching. I didn’t know it was homelander until he mentioned hearing it. I thought it was a random hero flying past.
I like that you like the actor for Homelander. If you like The Boys then you would like his previous show, Banshee. The first 2 episodes are full of action and jokes and the fights are f**king brutal. Such a good show.
*Eric,* as someone that was also diagnosed as pre-diabetic, your number one goal is to cut out all processed sugars. Which is not that easy. I've got to tell you though, in the first 6 months of doing that, I lost a lot of weight without exercising. One of the main things I always make to eat is a mixture of chicken, tomato and kale on pita bread. It's been maybe two years and I'm about 30 or 40 lb lighter. And one interesting change is that now when I do have even a little sugar, I find I start to itch. It's gotten so much easier to stay away from it. Checking the sugar content (esp _added_ sugar) as you shop is important. As well as _knowing exactly what the maximum daily allowance should be_ for you. But after doing it for a while, it gets easier. And, I feel much better than I ever did. Since going to a better diet, I don't have *any* of the digestive issues that I used to have. I'm not a vegetarian, I just don't eat red meat because it's too expensive. And that alone has made it easier to stay away from it.
Their reputation is important because that's what make them important for Vought. If they are not popular they will just be like popclaw. B rated sub with no money and no recognition.
13:00 "Dont kill him" Oh she will kill him, LOL! Just knowing the effed up way she was going to do it just put a smile on my face waiting for the Blind Wave crew to freak out! LOL!!
It's crazy to me that anyone would see Homelander as a good guy from ep 1 in this show. He immediately seemed to have crazy evil eyes when I first saw him.
Aarons reactions to needles are always great to look at, you should check out their reaction to stranger things s1 finale or just the best of blindwave 2017 for the best of the best
The fight cinematography is probably the biggest thing I want to be solved next season. Queen Maeve's training and the Woman vs Black Noir made me dizzy
The second use of points (when the guy mentioned his lawyer) is percentage points of gross or profit. Robert Downey Jr had "points" in Endgame, meaning his agent negotiated that his pay included a certain number of percentage points of the gross receipts.
You guys need to watch Banshee after this just for the actor who plays Homelander. It was a Punisher level show before Punisher and It's up there with Black Sails.
I was just re-watching the hunger games and I noticed that the actor the plays Hewey is the guy that kills Rue. Don't know if anyone else realized that
Homelander is Anthony Starr's breakout role. I mean he was great in Banshee but on Cinemax it wasnt really seen by a ton of people. I recommend people check it out if you like pulp style 80s action movies. Banshee is great. Anthony Starr was born to play Homelander though.
Well Queen Maeve seems to be kinda underpowered for a Wonder Woman reference, Homelander is definitely closer to Superman than she is to WW. Then again she's probably still in the top 3 strongest together with Homelander and doped up A-Train, so the rest of the Seven in general seem to be kinda underpowered in comparison to Homelander.
As you seen in this episode, it's more the corporation than the supes that's the problem. The things later on will shock you on how the company can control the supes.
I think the reason titans doesnt really work is because they chose to take 1 of the youngest and happiest teams and characters and tried to make them into essentially r rated junior batmen. They coulda picked another team likr the Suicide Squad or something
If you guys really like Homelander (Anthony Starr) you need to check out show before this call Banshee. Just as brutal as this show, but without super powers.
Speed comes from the muscle power of the legs, also the stride how long the foot touches the ground how much of the foot touches the ground, how far you move in the air with each stride and much more but yes basically in order to have super speed you would have to have super strength in your legs and ideally moderate strengthen your arms with a decently fitcore yet not over bulky on your upper body
They absolutely could take over the world, Homelander basically makes the same point to Maeve in this episode. But most of the supes are in it for fame and money. Why go through all the trouble to take over and rule, when you already have your every whim taken care of and the public loves you? If you're in big leagues, I mean. The minor supes could get some ideas, but then they just get branded as supervillains and The Seven takes care of them.

Banshee was AMAZING!!!!!!

Binge watched the whole season the day they watched episode one and thought "Oh seeing them react to that moment will be amazing 😂😂😂😂"
I never realized, until seeing many of Aaron's reactions to needles, just how many needle scenes there are on T.V.
I love how Calvin has been conditioned now to prepare for combat whenever he's sitting beside Aaron and a needle pops up on screen.
Blind wave you are the spice boys
Lol the intro was so funny constantly interrupting him
