Non-spoiler behind the scenes info: In the comics Hughie was drawn as Simon Pegg, because of that, the show runners wanted Simon Pegg in the TV show, but felt he was now too old to be Hughie, so opted to go with him playing Hughies father instead. I'm glad you like fellow New Zealander Karl Urban, I hear the NZ accent slip in quite a lot when he speaks as Billy Butcher
No love for other Kiwi, Anthony Starr? He's practically the ........um.....star......of the show (pun...intended?) with a virtuoso performance as Homelander, which basically just makes this show.
No he said Homelander is a Saint because he doesn’t have any of the vices of the others. But keep watching for what Butcher really thinks of Homelander
Holy crap yeah, he’s blond in the comics right? A bit less “friendly” than the tv one but definitely conniving and menacing- and I probably only say that cause he plays a nicer character for 4seasons after.
"Why am i looking???" i laughed so hard. In case you didn't notice this show can be very violent, but still, the story is so good i dont think you will regret watching it. Keep it up!
This show is so good, I was amazed how much I enjoyed it. They adapted the comics perfectly, toned things down exactly where they needed to. So looking forward to season 2!
jimmers123 i agree. At many points, the comics can feel gratuitous and way too far with the violence and fucked up-ness. Some of the stuff in the comics just feels like its there to make you uncomfortable and not to serve the story.
Both Karl Urban and Antony Starr (Homelander) display one of the best actings that's seen in TV in recent years definitely, they both are absolutely superb. I am glad you decided to start this.
I would call Hughie mild mannered, given the super hero context, it fits. That is how they called Clark Kent in the comics, and even Peter Parker could be called the same. This episode could be called Hughie's origin story. Plus, if this was any other story, Hughie might have become a villain. He could have become very Joker-esque considering what he was faced with.
Honestly even into season 2 he could have still gone down a path into a leading villain if the show was to last for over 6 seasons but obviously this is a world of greys so that’s not happening
When he said “homelanders the only saint “ I had a feeling he was going to be the most evil of them all and I was happily right ,,, homelander is the best of em all ...
...That does make me wonder what a Jante/progressive/social-democrat/well-bureacratised-welfarist/conformity-fika-n-hygge version of a superhero world would be like!
Subbed for The Boys! Billy knew Translucent was coming because the bug Huey put in the table has a tracker in it and he saw that it was following them.
Really love that you're watching this. It's really good. In the graphic novel, Hughie was drawn to look like Simon Pegg, but since he's too old, he's playing Hughie's dad.
Sir John Dalberg-Acton (1837-1869) is the originator of the saying "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" during a letter he wrote to an Anglican Bishop.
Glad you decided to do this. When I first started watching this series I was like you guys...WTF!! Look forward to watching the rest of the season with you guys. Just finished watching The Witcher with you guys BTW.
and thats just ep1 for this emotional roller coaster, btw love those facial reactions. enjoy the other 7eps and lastly, love your hair and make-up Kat!!
I loved how R- rated this show was ! And more real and human than PG versions ! Coz as someone said “ POWER BREEDS PERVERSION” so yeah if someone had superhuman power they would be so tempted to abuse it if they ca get away with it ..... kinda like Money ;)
OMG yes, so excited to see your reactions to each of these episodes! By far one of the greatest shows ever made, especially fiction/super hero related. And that opening scene with his girlfriend always sets the stage for anyone watching
It's just like our world except supers are treated like movie and sports stars, the wealthy and politicians. Definitely what we'd see if supers existed.
I only watched The Boys recently - late to the party - and I'm really happy that I found your channel to watch it "again". You have pretty much the same thoughts along the way as I did when I watched, maybe a few questions more even than I asked myself (because I was not watching with anyone else, so I missed them in all the excitement!) Will be along for the ride, for sure! (even though this is 2 years late, maybe you still appreciate my comments now and then.)
Homelander blasts plane. "Ok, he's the worst of them!" "Perhaps?" LOL. Understatement. I love that there are still people who haven't seen this series yet. Get ready for an awesome ride.
You guys always look great and always love your commentary. I am lowkey hoping that in one of your future reacts to this show that you both cosplay as Hughie and Annie 🤣
So into you doing this Kat & Sonny! Great reaction, your going to love this trip. You seem like really good people, your positive views are appreciated.
Glad you are watching this. The whole series is incredible. Episode 2 is maybe a bit of a scene setter, but then it just gets better and better. And I once saw a comment that said you could cosplay as Hughie and Starlight, and they weren't wrong.
Knew you guys would love 😍 it. The 2 main Protagonists are Kiwi Karl Urban obviously & Anthony Starr as Homelander another Kiwi Anthony Starr also in Banshee a great graphic type American series from Cinemax.
Hi Kat & Sonny, this is such a great series. Glad that your reacting to this, hang on tight, it's a crazy ride. Love the absolute power quote, it's one of my favorites. ✌
Great choice for a new show! It started out shockingly to set the tone of the episode. Acting was great, music on point. I will enjoy the journey along with you
the shot of the plane going down remains to this day one of my favorite shots in the series, the complete and sudden certainty that homelander is one of the worst heroes on the show, the plane going down, and then the slow turn as homelander faces the camera as the lighting flickers on his face, and you look at it wondering just what's going through his mind, as his face is unreadable. its an amazing shot
Happily finishing watching The Witcher with you and starting this one now, I love watching your videos after watching episodes, that lengthens the pleasure of looking those very cool tv shows and you have very interesting views and reactions. You are very relevant for lots of things there: casting, music, topics raised (specially about "grey" characters nowadays and society issues as sex assaulting), thanks K&S!! A great beginning with that first episode! I have loved too how they refer to pop culture in it, mentionning Matrix as for tshirts of Hughie (Nirvana and Ramones), my favorites scene was the meeting on the bench in front of the lookalike Ironman tower of the Seven in the park. I would give a good 8/10 for that episode!
Welcome to the club! I absolutely LOVED The Boys- especially in its allusions/homages to Zack Snyder’s superhero films. 🤗 FYI- Season 2 is in postproduction and due to drop later this year.
Funny that you guys keep watching my series... The Boys is just fun! I loved it... These characters are dope and especially Antony Starr as Homelander, he is killing it! He was in a series before named Banshee and that´s also an GREAT series, best fighting scenes beside Daredevil in a series EVER!
AWESOME! I had just finished this series when I started watching your channel. I'll enjoy watching these ones! Enjoy. It is consistently good, very funny. very very funny. #Dolphin
Oh, I am going to enjoy seeing your reactions to this one, hehe. I haven't seen that much of the series, but it is only gets more insane from here, hehe.
It's funny that Kat always has a reason for why her smile might be off or whatever :P It's all good :) whatever reaction you give is fine by us :) Anyway I'm glad you guys are finally watching the show :D
He also played around some of these in Captain America civil war. Where the consensus was some of them needed to be put in check because they were acting unilaterally and there was damaged left behind. So even though it's kind of...... Weird. Truth be told if people had superpowers there's no way they're all going to be altruistic. Lol and you can bet the first thing some company would do with try to market it. Or government even. Outsource national defense.
I don't normally leave comments but I just wanted to say that I love both of u and appreciate what you do. it's nice to pretend I have friends to watch things with
After re-reading my last comment, it did sound rude and I apologize. What I meant was intending to sound more polite. Thank you for your reactions to GoT, The Expanse and The Boys. I love that you can appreciate my culture (American) and not say rude things about it. Thank you to both of you.
Just a note for Kat & Sonny! FIRSTLY, thanks for loving my comment on your last Witcher video, HATERS ARE JUST FANS IN DENIAL :D, remember that. SECONDLY, I was absolutely thrilled to see you guys notice some of the iconic actors, Simon Pegg & Karl Urban specifically. I went into this show knowing its about superheroes and that they are monetized and as you just saw are celebrities/religious figures in their society. That's all I knew and going in, WOW you are in for a ride. I know Kat hates graphic content, not to say she doesn't watch them, like for example she watches GOT & just finished the Witcher (can't wait for season 2 hype, VESEMIR & LAMBERT ARE COMING). But I truly think you'll both enjoy the show. Writing is great, cinematography is on point, they really aimed for that blue grey tint for most of it but it fits the atmosphere so well. Hope to see more of THE BOYS! CHEERS!
Why do you guys lowkey look like Starlight and Hughie. 😂👍🏼
I genuinly thought he was jack quaid 😂
He has Jack Quaids Eyes. Like 100%
He looks a LOT like Hughie, I think she's just blonde lol
I concur maybe they can be casted?.

i like this fun fact
No love for other Kiwi, Anthony Starr?
He's practically the ........um.....star......of the show (pun...intended?) with a virtuoso performance as Homelander, which basically just makes this show.
@@Cbricklyne He'll always be Munter to me
@@Mach1Greeble You mean Van/Jethro? I remember seeing Banshee for the first time and took me awhile to realize why he looked so familiar.
@@Cbricklyne Also he was Hood from BANSHEE ! my favourite show
He said Homelander is alright hahahaha
They all say that in episode one.....
........and then the last scene happens.
No he said Homelander is a Saint because he doesn’t have any of the vices of the others. But keep watching for what Butcher really thinks of Homelander
Antony Starr kills it as Homelander ; ).... And like many others, I think he would be perfect as Eobard Thawne (Reverse Flash) in the DCU.
Holy crap yeah, he’s blond in the comics right? A bit less “friendly” than the tv one but definitely conniving and menacing- and I probably only say that cause he plays a nicer character for 4seasons after.

Their Batman alagory is Black Noir (realizing now just how stupidly redundant his name is XD)
Their Batman alagory is Black Noir (realizing now just how stupidly redundant his name is XD)
Karl Urban, one of the most underused underrated actor there is. I had a similar reaction to you when I saw Pegg and him.
Kat watching The Boys??? i'm sorry but at the same time can't wait hahahaha
She will turn her head 80% of the time :D
@@user-se3qm2se2t that what i thought straight away
I had the same reaction and came here for this comment before watching the video. I feel for her, this series is gonna be hard.
@@user-se3qm2se2t She was very good about it this time, though! Good work, Kat!
Hahahhaa you people are savage ❤️

"My little rock heart..." Awww... Kat, you're adorable.
Probably my favorite show to watch reactions for. There's at least 1 WTF, shocking moments in every single episode.
Also read the comics.You ll love every page.And its completed.
"This is so absurd," says the Scandanivians.
"This is exactly how it would be," say the Americans, Australians, Canadians and Brits.😢

@Vincent Kinney Try self reflection instead of projection.
@Vincent Kinney how are you not more embarrassed to be yourself?

You know what they say about intelligence.

@@KatSonny I dig that a lot. It reminds me of a certain Socrates quote, if it were also a sick burn.
Subbed for The Boys! Billy knew Translucent was coming because the bug Huey put in the table has a tracker in it and he saw that it was following them.
Oh man, what a show. Enjoy the ride!
Robin got hit like Maneo hitting the ring in The Expanse...
That’s not Robin’s only link to the Expanse....

Superheroes from the upside down.
I loved how R- rated this show was ! And more real and human than PG versions ! Coz as someone said “ POWER BREEDS PERVERSION” so yeah if someone had superhuman power they would be so tempted to abuse it if they ca get away with it ..... kinda like Money ;)
Love how you said I'm afraid to smile to widely then instantly smile and laugh throughout 😁😁 great reaction guys, fan of you two ✌️✌️☺️☺️
OMG yes, so excited to see your reactions to each of these episodes! By far one of the greatest shows ever made, especially fiction/super hero related.
And that opening scene with his girlfriend always sets the stage for anyone watching
Lmao "all of them are assholes but homelander is alright"
He really is ALRIGHT? 😂
"Homelander's alright", he said. Ahahaha!
Once again you two are hitting it out of the park with your comments. Keep it up. You two are becoming my favorite reactors.
I loved this show because feel it’s exactly about American capitalism would handle super heroes if they existed.
It's just like our world except supers are treated like movie and sports stars, the wealthy and politicians. Definitely what we'd see if supers existed.
I only watched The Boys recently - late to the party - and I'm really happy that I found your channel to watch it "again".

So into you doing this Kat & Sonny! Great reaction, your going to love this trip. You seem like really good people, your positive views are appreciated.
Yessssss!!! Saw u posted while I was at work couldn't wait to get off so i could watch! Luv u guys
Awesome reaction guys. I never seen Kat laugh so hard that was Epic. Keep up the good work 🤟
Heard so much about this show. Thanks Kat & Sonny for reacting to it.
“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts
Absolutely.”
John Edward Acton, 1887, in his letter written to Bishop Mandell.
I love the fact that every reactors first words tend to be WTF!! They are all really great actors, you’ll see more & it’s just an awesome series.
Can't wait to see you guys continue to watch this amazing show. You guys are just starting this rollercoaster ride of a show.
Hahaha I love it when Kat gets into a show-or in this instance, starts singing along with a song she knows 😂👏
This series is perfectly cast. Every single actor gave fantastic performance.
Excellent choice! This was my 2nd favorite show of 2019 after Watchmen. You're in for a fun ride.
This show surprised me with its depth and intelligence.
Nice reaction video guys, I binged this sucker right after release, but It's fun to watch you watch it. Kate looking like a 12 on a 1-10 scale today ❤
Glad you are watching this. The whole series is incredible. Episode 2 is maybe a bit of a scene setter, but then it just gets better and better. And I once saw a comment that said you could cosplay as Hughie and Starlight, and they weren't wrong.
Also the "Dog" is a reference from the comics ( and probably season 2)
Yea, he has a bulldog in the comics. Goes everywhere with him.
Knew you guys would love 😍 it. The 2 main Protagonists are Kiwi Karl Urban obviously & Anthony Starr as Homelander another Kiwi Anthony Starr also in Banshee a great graphic type American series from Cinemax.
Hi Kat & Sonny, this is such a great series. Glad that your reacting to this, hang on tight, it's a crazy ride. Love the absolute power quote, it's one of my favorites. ✌

Good to see you got hooked immediately as I did
Welcome to the club! I absolutely LOVED The Boys- especially in its allusions/homages to Zack Snyder’s superhero films.
🤗
FYI- Season 2 is in postproduction and due to drop later this year.
The heroes are the villains, the villains are the heroes, or somewhere in between.
Wow, this is a great show. Thanks for reminding me of the Homelander "All Lives Matter" poster BS. 😂
I just love to hear the "ok he is the worst"-comment. :D
Just the name Homelander is loaded with overtones.
Hes the worlds greatest superhero
Like what besides "homeland"?
Funny that you guys keep watching my series... The Boys is just fun! I loved it... These characters are dope and especially Antony Starr as Homelander, he is killing it! He was in a series before named Banshee and that´s also an GREAT series, best fighting scenes beside Daredevil in a series EVER!

She was horrified, but couldn’t resist humming along with the song 😂
Finally! :-) I really missed Homelander. This is going to be such a fun ride!
oh boy you two are in for a RIDE!!! :)
no spoilers, just a warning for kat: some scenes are quite graphic, keep that in mind
Lol, you don't say with that intro to Hughie?!
@@KatSonny Oh, that is almost comically graphical. There are definitely worse ones at later episodes.
Here with you rewatching it in preparation for season 2.
YAAAS!!! You’re reacting to the Boys!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
YAAAAAS WE ARE 🦄🦄🦄
ok, you two watching the boys... this is a gift. thank you
"So they're celebrities, a business, and politicians?" So basically a celebrity.
AWESOME! I had just finished this series when I started watching your channel. I'll enjoy watching these ones! Enjoy. It is consistently good, very funny. very very funny. #Dolphin

9:03 fun fact! in the comics, Queen Maeve likes to get double-teamed by bodybuilders
It's funny that Kat always has a reason for why her smile might be off or whatever :P It's all good :) whatever reaction you give is fine by us :) Anyway I'm glad you guys are finally watching the show :D
"So the Homelander is alright.."
Uh...about that..
"eww really" and "What the fuck" will be on repeat on this show :D
Did u seen the resemblance that Huey has with his dad.. Dennis Quaid
Pope Platinum and his mom Meg Ryan
@@norabossa9641 i can see them both when he makes certain looks
@@PopePlatinumBeats yeah , absolutely i get the same all the time with him.
You gotta watch HARLEY QUINN ANIMATED SHOW and Rick and Morty too ! Both R-rated and hilariously good shows
Such a great show. Really excited for the rest of your reactions! :)
Fyi - Starlight had it way worse in the comic books.
Thank you for your reactions can't wait for your reactions to the rest of the series.

Dude these guys look like Hughie and Star, lol. I thought it was the actors reacting to their own show.
"Hughie and Starlight watching a show about Hughie and Starlight"
I'm so glad you guys picked this show. It really is a gem.
Ironically, Huey's original design was based on Simon Pegg, that is part of the reason they cast him as Huey's father in the show.
I don't normally leave comments but I just wanted to say that I love both of u and appreciate what you do. it's nice to pretend I have friends to watch things with
Awwww!
You don't have to pretend ❤️ we're friends watching this but far apart and we have a free seat on the couch to sit on, reserved just for you 😇
Så fedt i er begyndt på den her!! Glæder mig til jeres reaktioner!
I just found you guy's channel and you two kinda look like hughey and starlight.
the guy looks like the main character of the show
yeeeeeeeeeeesssss, hope you guys love it!!! ♥♥♥
Can't wait for you to react to episode 4...it's mind blowing!
After re-reading my last comment, it did sound rude and I apologize. What I meant was intending to sound more polite. Thank you for your reactions to GoT, The Expanse and The Boys. I love that you can appreciate my culture (American) and not say rude things about it. Thank you to both of you.
In the comics the character Hewie actually resembles Simon Pegg.
Woohoo! You are finally watching this show! Every episode is Fantastic 🤩
Just a note for Kat & Sonny!
FIRSTLY, thanks for loving my comment on your last Witcher video, HATERS ARE JUST FANS IN DENIAL :D, remember that.
SECONDLY, I was absolutely thrilled to see you guys notice some of the iconic actors, Simon Pegg & Karl Urban specifically. I went into this show knowing its about superheroes and that they are monetized and as you just saw are celebrities/religious figures in their society. That's all I knew and going in, WOW you are in for a ride. I know Kat hates graphic content, not to say she doesn't watch them, like for example she watches GOT & just finished the Witcher (can't wait for season 2 hype, VESEMIR & LAMBERT ARE COMING). But I truly think you'll both enjoy the show. Writing is great, cinematography is on point, they really aimed for that blue grey tint for most of it but it fits the atmosphere so well.
