I heard solider Boy talk once and immediately had hair on my chest
His voice is so deep
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast it is Incredibly deep
I heard Soldier Boy talk once and not gonna lie….
Kind of wanted to join the army.
“You’re that asshole from the lab” *Instantly grows beard*

Soldier Boy was the best thing to happen to the Boys. I miss him.
I agree he was so cool
Luckily he'll most likley be back in season 4
@@KingSlayer_. do we know for sure?
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 he is alive tho
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 Jensen commented on a S4 post from one of the cast members.
What got me about SB was how emotionally blind he was with Crimson Countess. He genuinely thought they loved each other. He was totally shocked when she told him she hated him. His tragedy is that he's utterly incapable of empathy.
I agree. It’s just such a beautifully tragic moment. So subtle so amazing.
@@vlc-cosplayer homelander never really struck me as emotionally tone deaf. More actively evil. Like the scene where he forces the girl to kill herself, he knows what he's doing but he loves it. SB aint half as sadistic
Empathy? More like self awareness. Even homelander had some.
Homelander is Kefka Levels of Evil.
Yeah Homelander is a sadist who likes torturing his teammates, while Soldier Boy is oblivious to how much his teammates hate him.
Soldier Boy : “My day is ruined, and my disappointment is immeasurable!”
Homelander : “It’s Homin’ time….”
It homin time!
One of the best characters in the whole series. Less than 20 mins of screentime. Incredible.
Absolutely. It’s insane the impact he has on the screen. Truly amazing
I really want soldier boy to come back in a later season. The fact that he can seemingly nullify compound v is an amazing concept. Also I loved the scene where homelander told soldier boy he was him and how he disappointedly said "I know".
Yea it’s a great scene. I’m sure he’ll be back it makes too much sense for him not to
Butcher's betrayal of Soldier Boy was a cvnt move of the year.
The most butcher cvnt move you could think of haha
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast , exactly)
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcastfucking hatet that moment. All that hype up and than this shit
One of his greatest lines
“if you’re going to act hysterical I’m going to smack you like Connery”
What a reference!
I loved that line and I loved Sean conery haha so sad he passed away 🙏🏻
Soldier Boy/Ben is one of the most complex characters in The Boys, which is pretty impressive considering he's only in a handful of episodes. He is a dangerous cocktail of insecurity, toxic masculinity, and PTSD. Unlike Homelander, he had a human childhood with a real family, and unlike Homelander, he's not insane and can be reasoned with. I also believe him when he says he didn't mean to kill people when he blacked out and "Herogasmed". That being said, he's also a violent, selfish prick who takes out his own pain on everyone around him. It seems like he gets particularly nasty with anyone who triggers his insecurities -- when Black Noir wanted to go into movies (Soldier Boy's forte) Soldier Boy viciously attacks him while mocking him for wanting to "move on up" (a bit of a racist statement, referencing The Jeffersons theme song). When he arrives in 2020s NYC, he gives the interracial gay couple a disbelieving look but doesn't attack them or berate them; perhaps gay men simply don't threaten him. Mallory's rejection of his gross come-ons clearly pisses him off -- probably because his ego demands that every female in the vicinity be fawning over him.
Did he really love Crimson Countess? I posit that he did not, although he might have cared more for her than he did for other women. He clearly had a LOT of sexual partners and hits on Mallory right in front of Countess. How well could he have really known Countess without noticing how much she hated him? How frightened of him she was? He and Countess are a very obvious parallel to Homelander and Maeve. Soldier Boy didn't love Countess anymore than Homelander loved Maeve. Countess was arm candy for him, a beautiful woman to play the role of dutiful girlfriend and supply him with sex to keep him under control.
That brings me to the subject of Gunpowder. I go back and forth on whether I believe Butcher's statement that Soldier Boy sexually abused Gunpowder. Gunpowder straight up denies it. But is he telling the truth? Is he in denial because admitting to being a sexual abuse victim of an older, more powerful man would destroy his credibility with his super-right wing, conservative base? Or did Butcher just assume the abuse was sexual in nature? I can definitely imagine a scenario in which Soldier Boy dragged 16 year old Gunpowder to the Herogasm orgy to "make you into a real man".
Soldier Boy's fighting skills, including shooting, reconnaissance and cool head under pressure suggest he really did see combat, despite what The Legend claims. It's worth noting that The Legend isn't old enough to have actually known Soldier Boy during World War II. Soldier Boy may not have stormed Normandy, but he may have seen action in the Pacific and his rant about Afghanistan seems personal, so I suspect he really did participate in black ops in Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion.
The most telling scene about Soldier Boy is actually one he isn't in: when Homelander asks Black Noir what he was really like. This is a complex question that deserves a complex answer, and Black Noir isn't capable of giving Homelander that answer. One of the most tragic aspects of the show (and a great example of Vought's utter villainy) is that all the while Homelander yearned for a parent's love, Soldier Boy deeply wanted children. If Vought had allowed him to interact with Homelander, he would've parented him and Homelander wouldn't have grown up in the artificial environment. I mean, Soldier Boy would've screwed him up in other ways but Homelander wouldn't have turned out AS bad as the one in the show. But Vought created Homelander to be a product, a replacement, for Soldier Boy and not a son; just as they created Soldier Boy to be propaganda and not a hero. They are both victims of corporatism.
When referring to his love for the countess I believe he believed he loved her. If that makes sense. While it isn’t an ideal form of love I do believe he had emotional attachment and bonds to her. If he didn’t he wouldn’t have had almost cried killing her. He was pissed off everyone betrayed him but when he found out countess was a part of it. He was heart broken.
I agree with homelander and soldier boy both being messed up victims of vaught. 100% going to look at a video regarding that soon. When it comes to the gunpowder thing I think it’s more of the “be a real man” kinda thing or some kind of messed up thing we’d rather not know about. Soldier boys ptsd though has such a strain on him. Even a man who’s essentially invincible now has something to fear. Flashbacks of pain. It’s a terrifying thought
No. Soldier boy is based.
What gives you the right to talk about masculinity?
This was in my recomended yo, keep grinding your about to explodese
Thanks bro that means the world to me! I’ll remember you homie!
Soldier Boy stole every scene he was in.I have the same love/hate relationship with him as I do Homelander.He isn't completely bad but he is far from good.Loved this video,9.5/10.
Thank you for the kinda words! I also just loved his performance. Such a manly man who draws the audience in and grabs our attention
No one is completely bad,lol
Not even Stormfront
@@atanaZion still pretty fucking bad
The theme of parenthood in the Boys and Invincible is pretty powerful
Yes the theme of parent hood and almost the lack thereof is powerful
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast yep I agree. When you look at how Superman turned out through more cynical eyes you sort of say to yourself how the hell did Clark Kent avoid the pitfalls of being a "god" among men?
Although I don’t think Soldier boy is as Crazy or Sadistic as Homelander, he’s still a Gigantic Piece of Shit. Just because he was treated Badly by his Father doesn’t excuse any of the actions he did, and I truly believe that even if he did get a chance to raise Homelander he would just beat him and mold him into an exact copy of Himself.
100% agree. All because bad shit happened to you doesn’t mean you don’t try to change
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast it concerns me when people “root” for soldier boy but also have adverse personal and vicarious reactions to other abusive characters in all sorts of media
Please keep making more of this, it's actually very beautiful.

Oh trust me we know butcher getting his own video soon! Also thank you so much for the kind words! I love your name and picture btw haha
I truly do think Solider Boy while the most evil at least on a mental level, is really the most tragic character. It’s sad to see both sides of him to but truly made him what he is. Great video well made
Thank you for the support that means a lot. I agree with that. He mentally is pretty messed up but overall just a sad story to see.
Soldier boy is a bad guy but the final episode that he was in he was nothing but reasonable
100% agree. The bro wasn’t a good guy but doesn’t change the fact that no one ever took his feelings into account. Bro was a side character in his own life
The only real person is yourself
The only people you see is others
Soldier boy and Homelander, Both products of poor treatment and funny enough, Of being treated like an actual product instead of a human. All in all, Vought is the true Villian
100% agree and may or may not have a video about that in the works ;)
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast All here for it 👍
I never felt bad for Soldier Boy. He ruined his own life. He and Homelander are disgraces of superheroes. They don't deserve to be look up to.
Yea I agree 100% a bro is his own mistakes still
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast With the power he had, he was spoiled and had a huge ego and a bully. He thought he can do whatever he wanted without facing consequences. If he had face Superman and Captain America, both heroes would show him who the real heroes are.
If he had Omni Man, Soldier Boy would be in a body bag.
Agreed. Homelander became like if not worse then soldier boy but soldier boy didn't want that for his kids. He want them to be better then him but instead Homelander became a darker reflection of him.
Exactlyyyyy
Idk what you’re talking about Jenson makes Soldier Boy such a great character with such little screen time
I’m not saying he as a character is bad. He’s an S tier character by far. Like so amazing. I’m saying within their universe he as a person and as a hero is a disappointment you know?
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast oh okay I understand the way you’re looking at it
To me Ryan looks a lot more like his Grandfather than his Father.
He does. They actually changed the actor of Ryan from season 2 finale and season 3
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast I think you mean Season 1 Finale
Do you think there is a chance Soldier Boy can redeem himself (without being forgiven)? Like he gives up his life to take out Homelander and/or Vought and other evil/dangerous/unprovoked supes?
For redemption I believe that means his past acts can be forgiven however unfortunately with soldier boy it’ll be very hard for him to get to that point. He’s a villain and ruthless murderer for a reason. I’d like to see it but he’d have to go major good guy mode to see even a possibility of it happening
He's probably going to be a loose Cannon if he escapes from stasis or cryo since he wouldn't like butcher and the rest and definitely wouldn't like vought since they replaced him
@@username.exenotfound2943 that be hype tho. I hope that happens
In my eyes he is Redeemed somewhat
He was string minded and would have killed Homie if Butcher didn't interfere
Dope that you’re a newer channel. I appreciate your in-depth looks. I was A little apprehensive due to the title because I actually liked this character but it was a very well rounded video.
Thanks man! I know the video is a little misleading but he even says himself that the word defines him
Maybe soldier boy becomes black noir under the mask for Edgar. Wild prediction I know, it's hard for anyone to tell what is going to happen in the next season of the boys
Maybe just to fuck with homelander. That’d be funny to see haha
I feel like soilder boy might have a big impact in s4
He should. The theories I’ve seen y’all make are amazing. Tbh might make a video about that
Why? Why would they bring him back after frozing him again?? At least they could have made the arc having an open ending
I just found you in recommendations and Im so glad i did can't wait to see more
Thanks man that means a lot! Love the support!
Just started watching your vides like 20 minutes ago, loving them so far

What is most interesting for me about Soldier Boy, is that he may be Narcissist and full of toxic masculinity, which he says is the way of being a true man. Yet he still sees himself as a failure due to that part. But he only realizes that when he sees someone like him (Homeland).
I think just like homelander he has two parts of his personality. One of which is War Hero (even tho he never was in any war) that deserves respect, without any of those"pussy" emotions, and the second personality is the little boy that was not loved by his father and wanted to show he is worth it, but then realized he is worthless and similarly bad person as his father.
But unlike Homelander where the two personalities talk with each other and basically merge. SB's first personality drowned his second one, where there are only glimpses of his self-hatred.
I think this may be weird to say, that while I think Homelander is incapable of redemption or reformation, soldier boy has a small chance of actual reformation, (even tho it is really unlikely). Cause unlike HM, he in some primal way realizes he is failure.
Exactly. But remember that scene where homelander talked to himself in the mirror and cutting that toxic human part of him out? That’s what solider boy did. He cut out the part that cared. He killed the last thing that made him human when he killed crimson countess. Cause he killed the only thing he loved
He don't see himself at Homelander and either feels bad for himself, if anything he thinks Homelander is ridiculous cause Homelander isn't more like himself
Really great video, thank you for doing this. Soldier Boy is my new favorite character AND new personal favorite villain in The Boys. Ngl, I was rooting for him in the finale and was really frustrated with what happened.
100% agree I wanted solider boy to do his thing. Bro just radiates coolness
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast I go back and forth on him, when watching the show, I pitied him and was disappointed how he was disposed of in the season finale.I can understand him when it comes to be betrayed and plus Jensen Ackles acting. However while Homelander is worse, Soldier Boy isn't a saint and some of the worst I have seen of people IRL up close I see in Soldier Boy which makes it unnecessarily complicated

Thanks bro I’m happy you enjoyed the content!
6:30 this hits hard please bring him back
For show analysis suggestion, I may be biased, but X-Men TAS analysis and/or retrospective would be interesting and in terms of a good show and good writing, how it holds up overall and its strengths and weaknesses?
Great idea. I’ve been meaning to watch the rest of the x men movies anyway. I also love the amazing spider man. Great ideas I’ll definitely look into it and see what original takes or videos I can come away with it
I can’t wait for you to get more popular I love your vids

Kinda out of context but I see myself emotionally as soldier bot and hl, boy in a body which can do wonders, seeking others approvals etc. It's just fucked.
Everybody seeks approval. That’s okay. We just can’t let the approval of others triumph the approval of ourselves. We are our own success. If you’re going through something I hope it gets better!
I loved soldier boy I know i am bias because I loved supernatural but he was really entertaining

Yea bro that one got me too
Give us more!
More on the way soon!!

As a character I love him so much. His acting is incredible. He’s the definition of a badass. Bro is a walking stud. I loved his character ever since he first spoke
I don’t know how I saw it but this is awesome video. I thought you have 600k subscribers at first :D looks like CZcams likes you, good luck!

Idk I’m sure he will. He didn’t die and he’s pretty important so you never know

Good video.
Thank you!
This was a good video soldier boy is the goat no cap
Thanks bro I hella appreciate that. Soldier boy the man bro. He’s my favorite
I've only watched a couple eposides of the show so I'm probably wrong but It felt like in another world he could have been like Steve Rodgers. Had he worked on himself and tried to be better then he could have been the only true hero in the world.
As fucked up as the show version of soldier boy is I can not see him being the one to kill JFK, sadly tho just with the way shows are we’ll prolly never get a backstory on soldier boys life
I agree. The bro deserves his own show or movie at this point
Yeah this will blow up
Thanks man I appreciate that so much!
Tbh I have no respect for him after knowing what he did to Black Noir. What reason does he have to be soo abusive?
No reasons. Just excuses. I agree
You should watch gods of America on prime, it's glamorously dark
Oooo definitely will give it a look!
He could be back doing work for government to cut time off his prison time
Maybe but supes don’t really do prison time if they are associated with vaught
Alot of people thought the finale showed how the season wasted Soldier Boy as a character as he had little impact or consequences for the show and was put back in the box. What would you say to that?
I would say that he wasn’t wasted at all. His explosion helps Maeve get her full arc and develop. It also now leads into huge cliff hangers on how he will react to hating the boys and homelander. He for all we know could be the “hero” of next season wanting to kill both and end supes
@@Sports_Questionmark_Podcast Why bringing him back again aftee putting him in the box? Why didn't they just let the ending open if he survived or not?
