That’s it, that’s all I want to try and do as a superhero, supervillain or antihero! ☕️
@@PortableUruguay i think so, he hates supes in general. thats why he and starlight have a back and forth relationship, even had her in his crosshairs at one point but decided not to pull the trigger bc of hughie
Giving an average person Compound V makes them incredibly strong. So I love how this scene shows that when someone like Butcher gets it, he pretty much becomes another Homelander. Although he’s probably still weaker than him since this is Temporary V.
Love that if you rank ordered every human on the planet that the supes wouldn't want to have powers, Butcher would be at the very top. He ends up getting powers that allow him to easily overpower other powerful, well trained supes like Gunpowder. Ha
In the comics he’s an ex-member of the Royal Marines. In the series he’s ex-SAS. The scene when he leaves to join the SAS does not makes a lot of sense though. People don’t just join the SAS - they have to apply for it after already joining the military, passing their training and serving in their chosen regiment/unit up to a certain amount of time.
@@sadaasdafa8635 maybe he went to the army first, then passed the SAS trials later. Its very possible that his Dad simply wasn't being precise when he said Billy went off to join the SAS
All of the supes in this series have advanced strength, generally around the same level, all are bulletproof and whatever, pop claw was squatting like 9 plates for reps and they said this season the max bench is 5 tons I think? So there’s a lot of variance but butcher is obviously on the high end for strength, gunpowder wasn’t even close.
In season 2 there was a lot of talk in the episodes with the hospital. Lamplighter said they were turning compound V to give solid powers every time and that the people there were just test subjects. The point of this version of compound V is to give reliable solid powers.
Yeah in the comics and the show supes vary wildly in strength, a person like Homelander being far above almost any other supe, whereas some are just humans with powers like Mesmer In the comics Butcher also takes V he doesn’t get powers but he does get Super strength and durability like here, it’s stated that he’s on the higher end of Supes, still would get destroyed by homelander and most of the 7 but able to outfight almost any other supe with exceptions like Stormfront
I kinda like the idea that whatever power V gives you is the kind of power you want deep down. For Hughie, it's having the ability to get people he cares about to safety. For Butcher, it's having Homelander's powers.
I love how in the show both butcher and homelander make it look like using the laser eyes isn’t effortless. It takes effort and is even a little bit painful. It’s a cool detail that gives the show a realistic take on superheros
I think at first it takes quite a bit of effort and it's quite painful having all that heat and energy coming out of your eyes but after using it a few times you get used to it and it starts to be quite easy to use.
Don't know if ironic is the word for it.... Maybe it has something to do with personality, Homelander and Butcher are polar opposites but very similar at the same time.
I have the power to break you chain because of my NANOMACHINES SON (they harden in response to physical trauma, you can't hurt me Jack) I could break your quotes in two, with my bare hands !
Butcher vs. A member of the Boondock Saints so awesome. His powers starting to manifest as he fought Gunpowder so crazy. What I loved about Butcher was the scene at his apartment watching the lego video Ryan made paying tribute to his mom. In that moment you can tell Butcher really that spark of light, that moment of normalcy. That was a beautiful gift Becca's son gave to Billy Butcher.
I liked the explanation somebody gave that compound V gives the power based on the person itself and is not a random power up nor is it interchangeable, is like an stats based power up (which is true now that they have shown them use it twice and get the same ability), So Butcher getting similar powers to Homelander shows that the only thing he seeks is revenge and needs to be equal to him to beat him while somebody like M.M could possibly get something similar but also a medicinal related power because of his background and nature, Hughie makes sense having teletransportation powers since through all the series hes done the most infiltration while also tryng to run away from everything
yeah essentially thats his draw (no pun) but its safe to say he does have a modest level of durability given how much of a beat down he took off of a suped up butcher plus his precision aim might be a power, something in his brain that allows for fast and very accurate calculations
I hope Sean Patrick Flanery will one day make Boondock Saints III. I'm glad that he was able to draw attention to himself again with a small role in The Boys.
I’m very curious to find out how far they’ve actually gotten with the experimental serum. Like, was what Butcher took supposed to give those specific powers, or was it random?
the thing about temp v is that it doesnt change who you are, but infects your brain regardless, temp v gives powers to people based on their personality, butchers so filled up with revenge against homelander that the v gave him the abilities of him, hughie got the ability to teleport, most of the time he feels trapped and just wants to leave.
His power comes from trauma. Just like Homelander. Homelander looked up to solider boy. Similarly Butcher looks up to Homelander. Not the same way. But the same way. V formula amplifies these trauma/emotion/need. The need to be powerful.
it's interesting how everyone gets a different power according to their nature. people like homelander, soldier boy, butcher get superior ones while hughie gets a power to just get away from situations just like he always wants to get away from his problems.
What He never wants to get away from his problems There are like 6 scenes in the first season just about how much his father wants him to let the past in the past and do nothing, but Hughie didn't like that idea
Butcher wasn't a whole lot stronger, and didn't use his laser vision until after he won... But he had the experience from fighting people as strong as him, knew where to get hit and hit in return.
I haven't gotten to season 3 yet. But from what I've seen, it seems that when Butcher takes the temporary V he gets only two of the powers that Homelander has. Resistance to any damage (supposedly) And laser eyes. But he can't fly, he can't see through walls and he doesn't have enhanced hearing.
I loved how painful they made heat vision for someone using it for the first time How unpredictable and very high recoil? For lack of a better word Like its a high strain if you're not used to it
I have a feeling this William fella might have a bit of an anger issue, I sure do hope he manages to work through it with the help of friends and family, maybe a wife or brother!
What superpower would you love to have?
I guess the basics. You know, super strength, endurance, and being bulletproof.
Butcher's he is the real og
i would have the basics like trase said but then additionally i would choose invisibility or teleport
The basics for me, super strength, super speed, the ability to fly, being bulletproof, heat vision, super hearing, etc. But I would also add the ability to read / control minds, read body language, the ability to control / stop time and also travel through time by singing and dancing to different genres of songs and music, wall through wall, super sonic scream, the ability to shapeshift myself and other people by using our reflections in the mirror (or maybe just switch bodies, to make things easier for the both of us) and the ability to juggling.

@༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ ye the new episode kinda debunked that
So did Butcher pretest his superpowers before facing Gunpowder? Because it would be very awkward if bulletproof wasn't one of them.
We saw his cut on his cheek was already healed, even if he didn't know he had bulletproof skin he probably assumed he had similar powers to Kimiko
