Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
"So what they're all starving but one of them's got a f*cking cell phone" destroys me every time.
You would not believe me if I told you there are people here on CZcams who think and said the same thing homelander said about Africans and think that colonialism and genocide was beneficial for the entire Africa. The most ironic thing was that those homelander like people were Americans.
Edit: even after 2 weeks this comment is getting replied from triggered people.🤣
He has a Point 😅
@@anthonykoller4459 ok todd
people say the exact same thing about refugees..
he's got a better point than you realize.
(yeah I know tons of Africans have cellphones, but not usually the ones that claim they're starving or whatever)
Homelander is exactly why we all should be grateful super powers don’t exist in the real world.
This homelander is tame compared to that. Hell the comic version of noire is what the real world supers would be like.
Unless we get a Superman
@@Panther-Strife4724 the thing is no one believes in a good superman anymore, all they do is strawman the same 'power corrupts absolutely' trope that the thought of someone using his powers for good is a childish fantasy in a world of bad people, tending to forget that Good people exist it's just that the bad actions of few get more attention than the majority of good is swept out as average, and I'm just sick of these bad takes that an Evil Superman is 'realistic' when no it's a psychotic concept than any sane person wouldn't do because consequences, powerful or normal still happen.
I am him without super powers. Life is shit without super powers
@@mainakbasu9740 No youre not. If you were trust me you'd be a lot worse than him
"So what they're all starving but one of them's got a fucking cell phone." Is such a clever line, they had to make Homelander say the SINGLE most asshole, sociopathic thing possible in reaction to being called out and it was an ingenious one liner. Writing villains like him is so much fun.
It's like someone hearing that a girl was assaulted, and them replying with "well maybe she shouldn't have dressed like that."
@@crona1794 Exactly, it's the LEAST human thing you could say in that situation and Homelander goes for the throat every time and Starr's delivery was on point. Guy should be winning every award for this role.
He’s got a point
@@nitroturbo7248 If you in any way relate to Homelander you've missed the entire point of the show. Also you should speak to somebody.
@@LucifersAngel-mu4mwyou can disagree with the person but like one of their ideas
1:22 Love how he says ‘ohhhh’ as if it was a tiny accident like leaving a light on overnight, rather than taking a human life lmfao
Makes sense bc he views himself as superior to normal people - "mud people"
It was barely human.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Your propile pic says you barely look human.
@@TheStraightestWhitest
Bless, you’re trying your hardest.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Black haired barbaros wearing shades. Not exactly whitest and definitely not straightest
Ashley's actress is SO underrated. Just how TANGIBLY she conveys absolute terror whenever she must deliver bad news...and Homelander gets mad at them. When HL glares at "9 and a half" she really is silently begging for her life then and there. Truly amazing performance!
So why not look up her name? That's Colby Minifie. Indeed she's super talented.
I think that's why he keeps her around. He equates fear with respect, and he can exercise power over her, in place of the corporate overlords under whose authority he chafes.
I love how shes so meek with homelander but is like GET THE FUCK OUT to her subordinates lmao
The way she begs Homelander to stay quiet until crisis team has actionable strategy.
She was on TWD too if I remember. She kidnapped Carol and Maggie.
It is strange to hear Homelander asking someone of something with a sincere "please"..... you know.. like a human....
Marty is a good guy
@@jayma2733Yeah feel like Marty got him shake shack before
He is human.
@@wildhunt6350e doesn't make mistakes. He's not like the rest of us. He's stronger, he's smarter... He's BETTER. HE IS BETTER.
@@haihuynh8337 And that's exactly why Clark has no problems with his imense powers he just gotta be holding back badly so he wont punch off someone's head off when stopping criminals just like Homelander or punching so hard, that he rewrites realities. its insane to compare or to imagine the sheer power Superman holds and the literal infinite power and potential has.
The way he dramatically waves his arms signifying that the supe terrorist was not scary to him just made me laugh for some reason.
Heat vision is so fucking OP when it's as powerful as Superman's, or even Homelander's. He's right not to be scared of anyone, it's an instant death look.
@@hansolo631 true story

That was the best part 😂😂😂
For some reason? It's supposed to be funny 😅
The show is a comedy bro
Even the darkest parts of the show have some great comedic timing from the actors 😅
"Girls get it on."
😹 He's the best.
"Look at these strong female lesbians! I'm inspired. You inspired?"
@@notimetowaste6012 ''Yes it's very inspiring.''
''Girl get it onnnn!''
''Done*, girls get it done.''
''They sure do.''
he was still in the mood to annoy his ex, that's why lol
They definitely turns something on 😏😏
Thanks to lesbians everywhere for making it so that I never have to watch p0rn with a guy in it!
That “Ohhh…” gets me every time. 😂
I like to think it took him a second to realize that the human’s life mattered since he only values humans to click a like button.
Homelander's reaction to the video is genuinely hilarious. Only time I can recall this character making me laugh.
The only? Nah you're
Tripping
His panic attack and anxiety scenes are just as funny tbf.
Oh common! You're telling me Yummers didn't make you laugh?? I call bs.
@@deadforever99bro that scene scared the shit outta me. I thought I am gonna see A train cut in half.
Yeah and what about "Girls get it on!" lmao come on son, you lying, you know you laugh at more things he's done/said.
Love the “ooohhh” like he sent the wrong email or something and didn’t just take a human life 😂
"their all starving but one of thems gotta a cellphone" that was funny!!!! 😂😂😂😂
*they are
@@condor07usa They're*
You forgot the word fuck, which is the best part of the line.
Stages of Homelander:
Season 1 = Deteriorating mental health sanity
Season 2 = Child abuse and violent thoughts
Season 3 = Death threats and anger issues
Season 4 = Worldwide domination
u forgot crying for validation
Season 1 should be deteriorating mental health sanity
Mortal Kombat = Guest Character
Pre-Season 1: Rape
@@red_five3325Relatable
I love this series. I also love how as the series continues Homelander's true self starts to surface little by little
Just like modern celebs vs the older generations. With the advent of cellphones and internet we know things like Matthew Broderick killing two people in a car accident, or Victor Salva (director of Jeepers Creepers) soliciting oral from a minor. Compared to those like Jimmy Saville or Rolf Harris who kept their nastiness behind closed doors until the end of their life/career, and whose 'shifty' or 'shady' moments would be likely overlooked without the benefit of 2 million people watching the clip of those losing it on YT.
Homelanders actor Antony Starr needs an Emmy nomination for his performance as homelander
Antony Starr nail's it every time he's on screen.
Ironically The Air Bender guy had more Balls than the Entirety of The Seven combined because He’s one of the only Few Supes who actually fought Homelander.
“Fought” is a strong word…
Dude used his powers before homelander got there and then got one shot, that's worse then the blind supe 😂
@@droid5785 Dude knew who was coming.
@@kgpspyguy He still stood his Ground and wasn’t scared shitless.
@@therealmr.incredible3179
I don’t know, I feel like this was more a case of some random dude committing an act of terror, then Homelander shows up and kills him in 1 second.
The delivery of “so what, they are all starving but one of them got a fucking cellphone” fucking kills me every time 😂😂
It’s crazy how Homelander says it, and everyone agrees it’s an “asshole thing to say”- yet when people say this in REAL life, they think they said something intelligent-sounding:
“How are you poor but have an iPhone!”🤪
“Sell your iPhone and buy food”🤪
@@KingRemojilmao it does cost a lot just to keep a phone. You have to pay for a charger, phone bills, internet, electricity, etc. So the point still stands
@@KingRemojiI haven't seen anyone who has said that and not be heavily criticized. Cellphones are basically essential at this point
@@KingRemoji But heres a thing. There are tons of cheap smartphones and iPhones are definitely not on the list.
If you're poor and still bought an iPhone or galaxy s ultra or something then you're just being irresponsible.
It’s actually nice how he addresses Marty, presumably a random crewman, by name and with a “please”. He IS able to not be a douche to you, if you’re just minding your business and not threatening his ego😂
This is truly a GREAT actor. He sweats extreme evil........
The video of him putting his hands up and saying "Oooooh!" followed by him watching the video saying "Ohhhhh" that sells it. What a terrific narcissist.
at 0:26 you can see the golf cart behind homelander but then 5 seconds later ashley comes out of nowhere on the golfcart never noticed that mistake before
Blud thinks he’s cinemasins
Ashley is secretly a supe
@@IceBear-jb1ip cinemasins and wins are the fucking worst
Are we supposed to believe this is so kind of magic golf cart? Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder
Someone drove the first one the then Ashley came
"I'm here when you want me" - little did we know what that would mean between those two
She meant exactly "that".
I just noticed this- when the video begins 0:58 the supposed “super terrorist” watches and waits until the people run behind him, only attacks once everyone was behind him so that he could protect them from Homelander. He wasn’t attacking the people he was defending them!
I thought I was the only one who noticed! 😢
The boys established that Homelander sent a bunch of V to bad people around the world. I imagine this is probably some local warlord terrorizing a village for whatever reason. Homelander kills bad people all the time the issue is that he doesn't do it for some moral or ethical reason, but just to be popular.
@@Alan-wj5zcI mean, does he look like a warlord? He was dressed in casual attire, not even a single soldier/henchman in site. He was clearly just chilling.
@@abdulkarimelnaas7595in fairness, there's a weirdly high amount of African warlords who did that
@@abdulkarimelnaas7595 notice how nobody ran up to mourn the supe he killed. Dude was clearly terrorizing them.
Anthony Starr does such a good job at this role. I mean I found myself hating him and scared for people talking to him haha. I love knowing he can pull both of those emotions.
He’s an asshole but I can’t hate him at all, dude’s too funny
Who all thought this was a clip from season 4 of the boys during the murder trial
A little part of me was like *OH FUCK*
But… should have known better.
Yea, talking about blue balls
It is kinda weird to be making this vid now wasn’t this season 2?
I love the sarcastic terror flex he does before he blasts him.
Hes simply the best villan ever
Yeah he's super evil but I just cant hate him 😂
Whats hilariously funny is in most cases of superhero movie battles. They make the case of "You cant save everyone" and "It's 10s of 100s of lives versus millions" but in this instant they have actual footage of Homelander carelessly killing, and expressing disgust before leaving, so they cant even play that card 😂
Joss rewrite really sings 😂
1:11 I like the pose he makes before he flies up up and away.
I really like how his approach to address the situation is like every CZcams apology, I just hope next season they have a ukulele apology
The burning question...will Ashley survive the series run.
Not with her hair
Don’t think so. The anxiety and stress will break her, she’ll say something to homelander and he’s just gonna laser her.
*Girls get it onnn*
Uh, girls get it done sir 😰
They sure do😏
1:02 Best moment.
Sarcastic OOHH
0:05 I’m deaaaddd. “This new Joss rewrite really sings, huh?” I knew the movie was based off Zack Snyder’s DCEU films, but I didn’t think they’d hit it so on the nose here. Alluding to Joss Whedon’s terrible rewrites of the Justice League movie, this has got to be the funniest reference ever.
Antony Starr not winning an award for homelander is a war crime.
The real war crime here.
He's the real actor.
- Girls get it on!
- “Done” girls get it done sir
- they sure do Ashley
Cracks me everytime 😂
If anything, Homelander is the Prime example of why we, as a whole, should never turn to greed with powers. If he existed, we'd all be dead.
Homelander is a consequence of human evil. He is “god’s retribution”, in a way.
What do you expect if you do experiments on a child and deprive him of parents?
Then, when he is still weak at the age of 3-4, beat him down with other mature supes so that he learns how to fight back and be violent…
Keep him in solitary confinement until he is 12 or so.
Oh, and THEN, assign experienced mature female molester to manipulate him…
Sorry, but human psyche breaks after couple years of solitary confinement. Or torture, which he experienced (much like Soldier Boy, he felt pain, even though he is highly durable). Or 20 others messed up things that happened to him.
Homelander is the greatest victim of the series, and the fact he turned out somewhat socially functional (as opposed to a murderous, feral child like in Brightburn)…. Is a wonder, really.
Homelander must have head Superman-like level of compassion to stay sane after 5+ simultaneous abuses and crimes against humanity he was subjected to. And even that level of god-like tenacity was not….. enough. Nobody can psychologically recover from that level of damage.
That world can burn for what they did to him, for all I care. And him lashing out is just justice through vengeance.
If the world allows a monopolistic control on superpowers by a late-stage capitalist corrupt corporation, as well as child experimentation and “breaking” (like gaining elephants, but on infant supes)….
We as species don’t deserve to exist. We simply don’t.
That kind of world is not worth existing in.
To further clarify your point, Solider Boy illustrated your example much better than Homelander.
Homelander was messed up, but he got dealt the shittiest hand possible, and his turn to a monster is not his fault.
Soldier Boy chose to be a dick, a racist and an abuser. He is depiction of manageable psychological damage (toxic masculinity from his father’s side), resulting in power-trip when enabled.
He is charismatic, but really, he is fake and just a dick. Most people missed that due to being blinded with Homelander being a more obvious/potent evil, even though Soldier Boy is just as bad, if not more accountability-wise.
@@kingol4801 ''Soldier Boy chose to be a dick, a racist and an abuser.'' That's why we love him. Unfathomable based, redpilled, and utterly uncuckable.
Unless your overpowered yourself and rich to boot.
nah, he's way too tame. try something like the end of brightburn. a human mind with that kind of powers is just gonna go full psycho
My favorite part is when he says “I killed that a hole for them” when he is the one who gave that guy compound v to begin with
Homelander sure doesn't appreciate the value of a life.
Homelander: Whah? Noooo I mean I love these guys!
He had no mother to nuture him so he’s just pure rage
@@ennieminymoo6675flex the glutes I need a solid circle
Bruh he never did lmfao, he just did it for the attention, they literally said that he couldn’t/wouldn’t do shit if he never got attention
Nobody appreciated his value of life:
- Solitary confinement (12 years or so)
- Torture on a child
- Deprived of parental figures as a BABY
- Human/child experimentation
- Sexual manipulation by a mature female molester
- Labeling him as a product/asset of a company, neglecting his human rights
- Breach of any and all privacy/constant supervision.
Why should he appreciate lives of humanity then, if humanity did THAT to him?
He is pretty well composed, because any human when subjected to THAT level of damage would become completely psychotic, feral and murderous like Brightburn.
Every time he uses his laser vision it's the wrong choice.
1:22 that delivery is perfection
love how he makes the flying off gesture like that these little things man jesus
You know thank God Antony Star seems like a somewhat chill guy because he's acting here is so seamless it's scary. He's that good.
From what I hear about him, there’s not much difference between him and homelander 😂
The fact tat Antony is such a likeable guy in rl and yet Homelander is so damn loathsome makes a case on how amazingly talented he is..
Homelanders pose before he flies out 🤣🤣🤣
I love that the cameraman got an angle on the burning sheet like “oooooo, dis a great shot.”
Anthony is such a great actor. 🔥💯
He is so good I watched this scene line 20 times and his facial expressions / reactions is still funny
Homelander is just like “whoops I did again”
Man said "oooohhh" like i messed up..girls get it on 😂😂😂😂
It's not a war crime if there's no war 😏
So you’ve never heard of the war on terror then?
Your Russia is showing
@@ivyr336I think he was joking
@@treasurecatchermjp7083 as was I
@@ivyr336and america too
Terrific 👍
the way he says ohhh 🤣🤣
The “Oh” of realization is fucking gold
This scene is applicable to the joke "caught in 4k" lmao
Anikan hears war crimes and is like oh ho boy this is where the fun begins
"OHHHHHHHH, ohhh" underated line
Why can I see VLDL's Ben pulling off these facial expressions so fittingly?
I still laugh that homelander made Ashley take off her wig that time 😂😂😂
terrific
Lolololol not gonna lie he’s actually hilarious in this scene instead of terrifying like the other 95% of time he’s on screen
Stormfront must’ve watched that clip so many times
I am absolutely loving this show
I’m like 90% sure this was inspired by the opening of Batman v Superman
Prope to those two guys taking a lazer through the chest. Thats dedication to the roll
What makes Amazon Homelander is that he is smart compared to comic Homelander
Depends.
He is cunning, but not particularly smart.
Comic book’s Homelander is smarter-ish, but not at all perceptive (which is ironic, since he has super-perception as one of his distinguishing powers).
Comic book Homelander is bad at reading people, even though he has speed-thinking that he uses, A LOT.
His computation power + perception powers are stronger, but his social intelligence in bad in comics.
Smart VS cunning/manipulative are different criteria.
Homelander has got to be one of the best villains and antagonists of all time
The reality of having superpower of laser eyes like superman
"They're all starving, but one of thems got a cellphone??"
🤣
0:40 perfect representation of hollywood tese days
That "ooh" he did is the same one ppl do when a traffic camera catches them doing an illegal u-turn. There's no remorse, just mild embarrassment.
i like how homelander can fly, but he still choses using the stairs
He got sum notes from Anakin game recognizes game💯
Probably the best character of the show
everyone are great actors and actresses.
"girls get it on" Homelander is funny as hell
Ashley believes Homelander was saying "Girls get it on."; but what Homelander was saying is "Girls get it done." but impeded.
HOW IS HE SO TERRIFYING YET SO FUCKING FUNNY LMAOO
2:15 The subtitles here are hilarious. The subtitles say "[Music] [Applause]", when the exact opposite is going on and people are protesting against Homelander.
"This Joss rewrite sings"
Was that a Whedon and Singer sting?
“Girls get it on”
“Done”
They sure do ashley
Such a good actor swear lmao
Girls get it on! 😂😂😂
1:01 went a kid threatens me in COD
1:33 it's so damn good
Homelander just needs a worthy adversary to give him meaning
Scorched Earf!
From the looks of it, Homelander really wanted some supervillains roaming around. When Vought was thinking of a name for them, they had in mind stuff like superterrorist, super criminal etc, but he liked supervillain.
Not surprising, it must be boring to laser people instantly or one punch them to death etc, he probably wanted actual powerful enemies for the glory.
00:00 At least he says Please 😊
If a menace picks up super powers, its literally homelander
RIP Gust of Wind Man
Anthony Star is a great actor
Homelander like Homer Simpsons, Bender and Peter Griffen
I hope in season 4 we can see the younger version of him, like teenager Homelander having to deal with his powers and not having a family with him
Homelander is hilarious yet terrifying.
1:10 why he flew away like that😂
0:41 I fucking love her so much! 😂😍
1:22 The guy's wearing a "Lamp-Lighter" T-Shirt 😂
Another level acting
So messed up but his pfft was so classy.
Wow. Its amazing how relatable I am to him. Good thing I don't have powers 😂
Homelander is the perfect depiction and the embodiment of the US ))
Gotta give big props to the creators.
