Man Homelander scares the crap out of me, the worst part is how much he seems to despise normal Humans, also Antony Starr was perfect, he was so good I can't imagine anyone else playing Homelander. Also how about a video about Compound V, I believe it gets more fleshed out in the comics and I think it deserves it's own video.
He doesn't hate anyone. He just doesn't value their lives... At all. Human life means absolutely nothing to him. Like fruit flies in your kitchen, you wouldn't go out of your way to make sure they survive, or think about whether or not they'll feel pain. They're too small and insignificant.
I don't know, the Brigtburn kid had a nice childhood and went nuts either because of his alien nature, or manipulation from the space ship. We can imagine that if Homelander had a loving familly growing up, he could have been a nice guy. That's what makes him interesting and tragic in my opinion.
I'd say Homelander is worse, Brightburn was just a force of destructive nature lashing out, Homelander has a far more intelligent use of his vile nature.
@@colinsowka1459 Other than being bullied on a few occasions he really had no reason to go apeshit on everyone like he did. He seemed to be more of a sociopath by nature than a product of his environment.
Was just looking for this comment to point that out.. Homelander was being quite realistic about that crash incident where Maeve was like "Can't you lift the plane?" Uh no not with the physical structure of planes. It's not like in Superman Returns or anything Superman has ever caught/saved lol
That is only one of reasons Homelander stated. He does also mention that not being on solid ground is also a problem. And that chances are he'd either obliterate the plane entire or go straight through the entire thing all together.
@@Nerdiness1985 I also like the part where he said he couldn't take the passengers off the plane back and forth. He wouldn't have enough time and the passengers wouldn't survive being that high up and moving that fast to the ground due to air pressure. Great scene
Was looking for the structure and speed points being commented on. You guys are spot on. The scene doesn't show his limitations, it points out the limitations of the plane and people to survive his speed and strength.
Correction; homelanders strength is unknown, the scene with the plane doomed to crash land Homelander says that he cannot stop the plane as it would tear apart if he would try slowing it down. It seems quite clear. And makes perfect sense as the shell of the plane could not support his small(perspective) hands from simply tearing into the aircraft.
travis ala Or he was lying possibly, he didn’t really want to save those people on the plane so maybe he was using the “ I need to be against a solid surface to carry this” as an excuse to let them die.
Luke Loughlin he wanted to save them all or none at all no in btwn...and because he couldn’t save them all due to the physics of the situation he let them die...saving them all would’ve helped their pr so he definitely wanted to save them initially
Yeah, it doesn’t mean he’s not able to support such a weight class; it just means that THE PLANE can’t support HIS weight-repulsion force class; the limits of his feats are the other way around
5:30 nope.. his limitations were physics.. how to hold up a plane when a single point lift would make him punch a hole clean through the thin skin, etc.
Terrell Littleton he expands his personal field of energy to objects he lifts keeping them solid. Homelander can’t do that. And true his limitations are a physical thing. The closest he could get to saving the plane would be to show more control hitting the terrorist with the lasers, maybe. If he could increase his surface area cover as much of the front of the plane and try slowing it down by flying towards the direction of the plane, or the only other thing that might work would be if homelander were to bend the pitch areas on the wings to try and generate a little lift to keep the decent slower.
@@das_2379 I bet he could have used the landing gear mounts to steer the plane, and he could definitely have done what Maeve suggested and saved a few, hell tied them all together like in that (I think it was Iron man? I dont remember) and landed them in the water safetly, but he wasnt going to do that, because they saw him fuck up and ruin the plane. Saving a few hundred lives wasnt worth his reputation.
@@wodthehunter8145 No normal human could endure the skin-shredding winds, frigid temperatures, and oxygen-starved air for long if they were taken out of that moving plane - they'd be dead before they even reached the ground. His best bet was likely to fly along the underside the plane to catch up to its speed and then try to stabilize it to get it to a landing, but he'd still have the problem of how the heck he was gonna slow it down, and yea, he definitely wasn't gonna do all that shit haha.
You're right. He couldn't. The surface area of his hands is too small to support that plane without punching through. Adding realistic physics problems to the show was a nice touch. Like yea no that superman shit would never really work. Think about it.
Homelander - Hey, Deep. What can't I see through? The Deep - Zinc, Homelander Homelander - Correct and what is the box made of Deep? silence as The Deep thinks The Deep - Zinc
Git Gud I feel that both villains, at least their live action counterparts, are deep and morally complex characters that make you really think about why it is the way that they are. In terms of danger though, live action homelander could definitely give live action Thanos (before he retrieves the stones) a decent beat down, but in the comics, Thanos would absolutely smear Homelander just with raw strength (at least in my opinion. Comic Thanos is about as overpowered as they come). Both are interesting and thought provoking characters, regardless of media.

Didn’t Homelander save Billy from the bomb to make Billy suffer a fate worse than death through the knowledge that Becca was alive all this time and that she’s been raising Homelander’s son under Vought’s (and Homelander’s) eye? There’s no way he did it out of respect for Billy’s courage and/or resolve.
I was just thinking about this. DC Comics should try to do a cross-over story line where Superman comes into contact and confrontation with every Superman parody and rip-off(and I know, there are a lot). But the actual logistics of it might be too difficult to pull off because then DC would have to get all of the different publishers who have created Superman parodies and rip-offs to go along with it.
Jla would absolutely destroy the seven. The jla are actual warriors who fight superpowered being on a regular basis so they know how, the seven are just glorified celebrities they are weaklings in the dc universe.
Homelander is definitely not beating supes. He has little experience with fighting other super powered beings that actually provide a challenge so he just tries to laser everything. Honestly don’t think any of the seven can even come close to beating their dc counterpart. A train definitely ain’t beating flash whether it’s Barry Allen or Wally West(especially if it’s wally) and I think the others speak for themselves

Like the nature nurture conflict of the superman-brightburn stories, homelander shows how power reveals a person’s nature through time, not fundamentally change them. And I love this series for that theme
@@taegire superman couldn't if they were obeying physics but comic books and super heroes so it doesn't matter as much, it's just the boys is trying to be more realistic
The more his character development progressed the more sympathy I end up feeling for him; he was grown in a laboratory without any type of human connection whatsoever it is indeed What has contributed to him becoming the man he is!💯😁😉👍
Homelander: I'm Homelander, I stand for freedom, liberty, and independence, and I can do whatever the f**k I want! Me: Strong words from someone who is on a leash.....
Homelander is the combination of Regime Superman but with Flashpoint superman's origin story where he was a lab rat for his entire upbringing. difference is however is that Regime Superman makes Homelander look tame.
I just realized the comic reveal was how it was cause Superman was one of the few heroes that Garth Ennis actually liked, same reason he wrote amazing superman stories
He's like a dark mirror of superman. Superman isn't a good person just because he's "special" or something like that. He's a good person because he was nurtured and raised by two good people. Of course there are other factors like personality, experiences, etc but the core reason is because of his environment. The environment someone is born into and what they are predisposed to heavily impact their psyche especially at a young age. Homelander was raised in a cold unfeeling environment. Which led to him being well... Rather sociopathic. Not to mention he's mainly haughty because that's what vought was building him up to be, he was forced from the moment of birth to be "the strongest, most amazing superhero" unlike superman he didn't choose to be well.. "a hero".
Amazing video, as usual! As a person who doesn't mind spoilers, that was a good ending. I believe Homelander says it's not that he couldn't "lift" the plane, more so that at those speeds he would just go through the plane. Implying that IRL superman could never catch an airplane because they were never designed to handle those kinds of stresses.
About super strengh... it's not that he has limitations per se... it's abour physics : you can stop a plane with a hand no matter your strengh because of presure. There's an episode of Because Science about it precisely. And that's actualy a bonus point for this show imho. Since it wants to depict a "what if" super heroes were to be in a real world
As always great content and I was actually surprised to see you doing a video on Homelander and the Boys. He’s easily one of the best super villains I’ve seen. My next request however, is actually Superian from The Tick, which I think could make a great comparison to Homelander in a few respects.
The Invisible Man was in the comic. Just not the version we saw in the show ( I think there were copyright issues regarding why they had it be a thief that stole the formula, instead of the original scientist.)
If the Emmys - or any award show, really - still meant anything, I would've said he definitely deserves one. First actor in a long time that made me feel a chill run down my spine :')
The plane thing: He was saying that the structure of the plane could not withstand the force required to keep it in the air because it would be focused onto his small surface area and he would simply burst through the thin aluminium skin of the plane. He wasn't saying he couldn't generate that force.
I always hate superman's pussiness on letting villians live and always saving people for no reason but I'm glad he is the way he is now, after seeing what someone with his powers could do if they let loose, just scary AF. Imagine someone with all the power and you cant help but feel weak.
What you just said is exactly the point. If Superman wasn't the way he is and was more like Homelander(or the kid from the horror movie, Brightburn), yes, it would be completely terrifying and scary as f***.
3:43 There are around 2,000 superheroes in the series (I think) that vought currently manage in their PR video right before they introduced Starlight in the TV series.
Hey Niat(I think that's how you spell it), the reason Homelander had issues with the plane wasn't because he couldn't use his full strength in flight. It's that the Boys pays attention to physics in ways most hero shows/comics/movies don't. Unlike Superman, he doesn't have the bio-aura that lets him pick up heavy things without them being destroyed by their own weight. So if he tried to stop it, the plane would probably shear in half or flip over from all of that force and momentum suddenly being stopped by an object the size of a human. It's the same reason A-Train ran into someone at full speed and they exploded like a can or soup, instead of just flying through the air like when Quicksilver runs into someone at Mach 21 or something.
Big error at 5:34. You say he can't use his full strength in flight but no such thing was said or even implied I those scenes. Homelander said at these speeds I would punch straight through the hull. Also, he may have been lying because he wanted it to crash anyway. Neither possibility matches what you claim.
Homelander makes me appreciate Superman/Clark Kent a whole lot more now. The former is a clear, terrifying example of what could have easily had the Kryptonian not landed near the Kents and raised with love and morals. Let alone what would certainly happen if a super-powered being existed in the real world and captured by the government instead. Or just the wrong hands in general. . . 🤔
Best scene in season 1 Home lander killing everyone on flight 37 without giving a shit Funniest scene Butcher using the baby’s eye lasers to kill the guards in the hospital
9:00 : *reveals climax of the movie* (homelander saving billy) 9:05 : "ok now i'm seriously about to head into spoiler territory" u w0t m9 edit: ah okay, he's talking about a bigger twist.
Man, this was so good. The way my perspective of homelander changes from superhero to cold blooded, lab produced, in-human pychopath. Which in reality is terrifying.
Anyone else wondering what would happen if the Tv show version of Homelander meet Superman the levels of rage and jealousy he would feel to learn that Clark enjoyed the life that he never had and always wanted that would be a delight
The guy who plays Homelander is a really good actor. His mannerism and facial expressions make Homelander a quite a scary character.

In the comics, Homelander also has a supersonic scream, which is loud enough to shatter a person's eardrums.
I was just looking up stuff about the boys a few days ago when I heard someone mention them and about how some capes might abuse their power and here you go make a vid sorta on it. Thanks for that and all the vids you do
Like the nature nurture conflict of the superman-brightburn stories, homelander shows how power reveals a person’s nature through time, not fundamentally change them. And I love this series for that theme
Oh frick this suddenly appeared in my notifications and I got so excited. I love the boys and I'm so excited for season 2
Liar
Anthony Starr deserves a Oscar for his performance
He couldn't lift the plane because of physics, he'd have pushed straight through it if he tried because of the pressure
So why is it that Superman can?
@@taegire he has some kind of aura, from what I have read.
But the fact that he can fly is fine
@@taegire superman couldn't if they were obeying physics but comic books and super heroes so it doesn't matter as much, it's just the boys is trying to be more realistic
Homelander is basically the Indominus Rex in Superman form.
I love this series because it shows that being a hero isn’t all sunshine and rainbows but there is rather a dark side to being a supe
Homelander is what Brandon Breyer (brightburn) grows up to be.
Not even close lol
that kid is more ultra man, while homelander is more of a live action version of Captain Hero from Drawn Together, but smarter
@@pyrolee17 and The Cómic Book version Is literally just Captain Hero
@@ironmaster6496 agreed
So he can see through anything but couldn’t see that black noir is a clone of him???
Wut???
Zinc lined suit.
@@standepain I don't know about you, but If I was Homelander and saw that it'd make me pretty dammed suspicious...
They might not go for that angle in the show.
It would seem that show Black Noir is different from his comic counterpart
Maybe its different in the show who knows that would be also interesting
I’d love to see more of this franchise
It’s nice for Kiwis seeing two NZ actors starring.
The more his character development progressed the more sympathy I end up feeling for him; he was grown in a laboratory without any type of human connection whatsoever it is indeed What has contributed to him becoming the man he is!💯😁😉👍
I literally just finished binge watching The Boys... i couldn't stop after watching episode 1
Compound V, a parody version of Chemical X.
Maybe
Homelander is a sociopathic version of Superman
I knew nothing about this show before this but now im gonna check it out
Do it
It's great
Homelander: I'm Homelander, I stand for freedom, liberty, and independence, and I can do whatever the f**k I want!
Me: Strong words from someone who is on a leash.....
That was awesome, I am soooo excited for the next season, and hopefully to see you do some videos on Billy Butcher and his predecessor Malory.
Homelander is proof that Batman is right for keeping constant tabs on Superman
Homelander’s origin is more like a twisted and more tragic version of Captain America now that I think about it
Homelander is the combination of
Regime Superman but with Flashpoint superman's origin story where he was a lab rat for his entire upbringing.
difference is however is that Regime Superman makes Homelander look tame.
I just realized the comic reveal was how it was cause Superman was one of the few heroes that Garth Ennis actually liked, same reason he wrote amazing superman stories
He's like a dark mirror of superman. Superman isn't a good person just because he's "special" or something like that. He's a good person because he was nurtured and raised by two good people.
Of course there are other factors like personality, experiences, etc but the core reason is because of his environment. The environment someone is born into and what they are predisposed to heavily impact their psyche especially at a young age.
Homelander was raised in a cold unfeeling environment. Which led to him being well... Rather sociopathic. Not to mention he's mainly haughty because that's what vought was building him up to be, he was forced from the moment of birth to be "the strongest, most amazing superhero" unlike superman he didn't choose to be well.. "a hero".
Amazing video, as usual! As a person who doesn't mind spoilers, that was a good ending. I believe Homelander says it's not that he couldn't "lift" the plane, more so that at those speeds he would just go through the plane. Implying that IRL superman could never catch an airplane because they were never designed to handle those kinds of stresses.
Homelander definitely could have carried the plane if he wanted to
6:40, that part was very messed up!
Oh my gosh you did it -- thank you!
Either the seven or the boys video first, either would just be a treat!
About super strengh... it's not that he has limitations per se... it's abour physics : you can stop a plane with a hand no matter your strengh because of presure. There's an episode of Because Science about it precisely.
And that's actualy a bonus point for this show imho. Since it wants to depict a "what if" super heroes were to be in a real world
I think that Homeland I could easily lift the plane but he didn't because he didn't care about those people
Dude needs an Emmy or something , this show needs an award
As always great content and I was actually surprised to see you doing a video on Homelander and the Boys. He’s easily one of the best super villains I’ve seen.
My next request however, is actually Superian from The Tick, which I think could make a great comparison to Homelander in a few respects.
This Guy is a real psychopath and twist version of the man of steel
10:45, an Invisible man. Now where have I seen that before?LXG.
Not from the comic
Only in the TV show
Sean Connery: _Gentlemen_
The Invisible Man was in the comic. Just not the version we saw in the show ( I think there were copyright issues regarding why they had it be a thief that stole the formula, instead of the original scientist.)
Its MR iNDIA😂😂😂😂😂
If the Emmys - or any award show, really - still meant anything, I would've said he definitely deserves one. First actor in a long time that made me feel a chill run down my spine :')
The background music makes it very relaxing.
9:49 that might be the most hilarious panel from a comic I’ve seen
5:55, stuck the landing!😆
SUPERHERO LANDING !!!!!!
those things are terrible for your knees tho
He’s so unnerving! Every time he shows up in a scene I’m like “oh crud who’s he going to crush now?”
Superman is the American Dream and Homelander is the American Lie
The plane thing: He was saying that the structure of the plane could not withstand the force required to keep it in the air because it would be focused onto his small surface area and he would simply burst through the thin aluminium skin of the plane. He wasn't saying he couldn't generate that force.
I am so looking forward to seeing the boys. I'm glad you've done this video. Would you do Mr robot? From Mr robot
I always hate superman's pussiness on letting villians live and always saving people for no reason but I'm glad he is the way he is now, after seeing what someone with his powers could do if they let loose, just scary AF.
Imagine someone with all the power and you cant help but feel weak.
What you just said is exactly the point. If Superman wasn't the way he is and was more like Homelander(or the kid from the horror movie, Brightburn), yes, it would be completely terrifying and scary as f***.
Thanks man for reviewing.I am really hyped for season 2 of The boys.
We all are hyped AF :) :) :)
3:43 There are around 2,000 superheroes in the series (I think) that vought currently manage in their PR video right before they introduced Starlight in the TV series.
Hey Niat(I think that's how you spell it), the reason Homelander had issues with the plane wasn't because he couldn't use his full strength in flight. It's that the Boys pays attention to physics in ways most hero shows/comics/movies don't. Unlike Superman, he doesn't have the bio-aura that lets him pick up heavy things without them being destroyed by their own weight. So if he tried to stop it, the plane would probably shear in half or flip over from all of that force and momentum suddenly being stopped by an object the size of a human. It's the same reason A-Train ran into someone at full speed and they exploded like a can or soup, instead of just flying through the air like when Quicksilver runs into someone at Mach 21 or something.
That party with the plane scared the crap out of me
Big error at 5:34. You say he can't use his full strength in flight but no such thing was said or even implied I those scenes. Homelander said at these speeds I would punch straight through the hull. Also, he may have been lying because he wanted it to crash anyway. Neither possibility matches what you claim.
I love that errie feeling you leave at the end of your videos!
Ken Starr was literally born to play this role lol.
its literally brightburn (they got multiple superpowered kids there as well), but with a different origin story
"A Twistted Version of the DC Heros"
I'd say a more realistic Version.
This is a *what if real people/Humans would have Powers* scenario.
Much worse it's good we don't have superpower . human can be very twisted
Homelander makes me appreciate Superman/Clark Kent a whole lot more now. The former is a clear, terrifying example of what could have easily had the Kryptonian not landed near the Kents and raised with love and morals. Let alone what would certainly happen if a super-powered being existed in the real world and captured by the government instead. Or just the wrong hands in general. . . 🤔
the boys quickly became a fav
This ranks up there in depth with "Watchmen" for me. Amazing.
Best scene in season 1
Home lander killing everyone on flight 37 without giving a shit
Funniest scene
Butcher using the baby’s eye lasers to kill the guards in the hospital
That opening scene made me shiver. Chilling
9:00 : *reveals climax of the movie* (homelander saving billy)
9:05 : "ok now i'm seriously about to head into spoiler territory"
u w0t m9
edit: ah okay, he's talking about a bigger twist.
Man, this was so good.
The way my perspective of homelander changes from superhero to cold blooded, lab produced, in-human pychopath. Which in reality is terrifying.
Gud vid but can u do days gone hooligan virus
Adding it to the list now, thanks mate :)
Thank you so much
"No one to really keep him check".
Black Noir: ......
Please take a look at the Grimm from rwby
I'm adding it to the list now, thanks mate :)
I didnt expect to see that request. Good call and I am looking forward to it.
"You fucking fucking fuck you fucked my life!!!" is a great comic book quote lol
3:00, reminds me of what would happen if the Nazis got their hands on Superman and turned him into a weapon to be used against the Allies, and it did.
There is a comic with a nazi justice league
@@crimsonhunter7598 All i remember from that is Batman talking about interracial dating
@@maxhydekyle2425 ok?
5:25 If I'm not mistaken, it's not that he's not strong enough, it's that the plane is not strong enough to be carried from a single point
You are correct.
As much as I hate him and I really do hate him I can't help but feel sorry for him
me too! If he was brought up in a loving family he might have turned out more like Superman, if not at least less psychopathic.
Anyone else wondering what would happen if the Tv show version of Homelander meet Superman the levels of rage and jealousy he would feel to learn that Clark enjoyed the life that he never had and always wanted that would be a delight
im glad butcher and the boys try to kill supes, look at this menace
Yeah
