The Boys

In reality he definitely would've just slammed through the hull for sure, that Superman shit doesn't actually work

I just watched all the cool scenes on youtube and skipped watching any actual episodes.

He's retardedly powerful, he could've done it. Can't completely recall, but I think that in the comic (where he's a very different character; way more retarded and almost completely without self-control) he fucks shit up real bad and decides to bail, but then turns around to try and help but ends up instead tearing the plane in half by flying into it. Or maybe that was another plane? He has enough power to stop a plane anyway. He's just not smart enough to use it properly.
At least in the comics.

enough force to lift the plane concentrated on the surface area of 2 hands will just make a hole in the plane rather than lift it up, he fucked up when he lasered the control panel

this and only this

Did the Frenchfag really just forget about her girlfriend for the mute Nip pussy?

It seems so yellow fever is a hell of a drug

this He would have just ripped it apart. Imagine holding wet tissue paper in your fingertips out the window of a moving car. I think what they could have done is gently angled the altitude rudder on both wings down to create upwards momentum but Maeve can't fly in the series so that would be another shit show.

The line was kino, don't be a bitch.

You're just mad The Boys does a cooler Superman than DC does.

Because, no matter what, Superman is still supposed to be the best humanity can raise a boy to be. The Homelander was literally made to be a superweapon that would end WW2..

He basically said what would happen that happens in the comic, if he decided to take action. TV Homelander is more intelligent than the comic version. He realized there was no point in fucking around with it.

But I still don't buy that he couldn't have glided the plane by holding it underneath and just more or less soft-landing into the water.

>love Karl Urban

Seriously, I don't give the slightest fuck about capeshit, but I watched 4 episodes in a row last night.

The Boys is anti-capeshit disguised in capeshit. It's the reason why most of Yea Forums fucking hate it.

Makes sense, my comicfag buddy said he didn't bother finishing it because it was "basically pornographic." Based on what he told me about it, they toned the edginess down a bit for the show, and it seems to have worked. Also, I don't think I've ever heard Karl Urban use his natural straya accent, so it's got that going for it too.

>Yea Forums fucking hate it.
But that's a good thing.
Why would take anyone serious who jizzes over calarts trash?

>>disguised
Nothing about Ennis' loathing of super heroes is "disguised".

lol I forgot about her too now that you mentioned it

your buddy sounds like a retard even by comicfaggotry standards

he would have used his super speed to tie everyones coats together then have them all grab it and hold on as he flies them to the ocean

Tell us again how little you care about capeshit

a few plot holes: letting a train live when they broke his leg? wasnt getting revenge on him one of their main objectives? and it took way too long to kill translucent. why not poison him? or drown him? or gas him?

What bothered me the most was that they didn't buy at least a pack of flower and then caked him with it to be able to see him. Or forced him to wear something.

>Because, no matter what, Superman is still supposed to be the best humanity can raise a boy to be.

And that's why he keeps failing at the box office. Nobody wants to see that version of him anymore. Superman sucks!

The Boys is what the Justice League should be. Imperfect perfection, interesting, charismatic... flawed. DC will always fail because their characters are outdated and lame.

>and it took way too long to kill translucent. why not poison him? or drown him? or gas him?
They talked about how drowning him didn't work, that had been tried.
I did think they were gonna poison him though, I thought Hughie actually poisoned him with the water he gave him at first.

He keeps failing at the box office because that's not the version of him they show. We're just getting beaten over the head with snyder's confused jesus obsession combined with a solid dose of faux-bayhem.

Yea Forumsfags do despise this show, which means it's Yea Forums approved

By the way the guy that wrote the comic is called Garth Ennis, a really good writer
I recommend Crossed, it acts as sort of a mockery of the typical "glorious post apocalypse" story where heroes fight back against the monsters in the same way The Boys is to most superhero stories

You cannot compare Marvel characters to deformed DC characters. Marvel heroes are God-Tier.

In fairness, when Superman saves the plane in Returns, he doesn't just lift it, he first has to get rid of the wings, then slowly decelerate it over what looks like a lengthy descent. You see the ripples going through the fuselage etc.

It still couldn't be done in real life, but they didn't just have him lift it lengthways.

Name three "glorious post apocalypse" stories.

>Garth Ennis, a really good writer
These words do not have any business being in a sentence.

Absolutely.

genre only matters for things that suck

Lmao he didnt even purposely pull the wings off. He clearly tried to guide it with one of the wings and it just broke off. Watch that scene again

Tony couldn't have pulled that off either.

There might be a very outside chance that Homelander could have gotten some life rafts going and tried to save a few people that way (shorter distance, just down to the raft and then back up again), but you're still talking about a bare handful of people. The majority of the passengers on that plane would still be dead.

First volume is just fine.

And you'd be a retard to deny the webcomic with the nun wasn't anything less than great.

Karl Urban is a kiwi and I think he is doing a particularly bad attempt at a cockney accent in The Boys.

After the talk between Frenchie and Hughie about drugs I was expecting them to drug Translucent and overdose him.

t. didn't read the comic. Ennis' contempt for capeshit is universal you equivalent of a console warring twerp.

It doesn't become edgy murder porn until after the initial run of the original group. Then other writers take over and just go overboard.

With the way certain wealthy powerful people behave, and how starstruck normies worship the ground they walk on despite being genuine assholes, I find it eerily realistic too.

They wrote themselves into a corner with A-Train living. They just needed a reason to get Hughie to escape but conveniently forgot about the reason theyre even doing that so they could still have A-Train for season 2

But A Train doesnt live...

Whoever contributes to the success of any sort of that pig-devil - Seth Rogan is not my friend.

He can easily be written to be on a coma for now.

Why is Homelander so kino? Every scene he is in becomes a hundred times better.

It lost a bit of steam in the last half. Some kinda half assed plot lines and characters that feel oddly glossed over. Still really fucking good though.

I would have liked to know why they couldn't gas or suffocate Translucent as well. Can he hold his breath forever or what.

Instant transmission is OP as fuck, Homelander isn't that powerful

that wouldn't give them the scene they wanted so it wouldn't work

Made me actually care for shitheads like Homelander, Deep, and A-Train who I couldn't have cared less about in the comic. Whole comic is really just counting down the minutes Butcher and the gang gives them their come uppence. Wasn't terrible. Somewhat more competent than Rogen's Preacher.

Not even him but every faithful adaptation of Superman did well at the box office, hell even some of the unfaithful ones did. It's that he isn't written well for the screen.

If he'd just punched the terrorist's head off, he wouldn't have had the problem.

Homelander seems to be very careless in general with his eye lasers. He doesn't need to bother actually hitting somebody when he can just laser them to death, so he's gotten complacent.

It's an interesting contrast to comics Superman, who usually avoids the heat vision unless he really has to, it's his nuclear option.

It's more a comment on Homelander seeming complacent about his abilities in general than a "he should have done this instead" comment, but okay.

He has the same laser vision complacency when he wipes out that building the SEAL (Delta? SOG?) team were approaching. Just walks in and lasers them all one or two at a time. Doesn't fly, doesn't move at superspeed (he could superspeed-laser them all if he wanted), doesn't throw punches.

Yep, that's me.

this actually ties in to EVERYTHING about the boys and why he helped form them to begin with, I mean if he doesn't have a dead brother, he doesn't try to fix up Hughie as his moral tether, same thing with Terror being absent, the dude doesn't have much sanity left, this isn't even including his situation with the wife

Truer words have never been spoken

Please.

We see Homelander use his heat vision juuuust enough to kill Stillwell without burning through her head and wrecking the house.

He intentionally used his heat vision to fuck up the controls, leaving a 0% chance of landing the plane so that it'd crash and the tragedy would make people vote for him into the military.

Homelander is a player of 4D, maybe even 5D chess. Dude was playing it so well, he removed Butcher's blackmail before he even took her hostage.

Was pretty good, not sure why Frenchie's gf fucked off and we never hear from again but aside from a few plotholes, it was decent. Anything that makes Yea Forums cringe and whine is ok in my books, get fucked Yea Forums !!!

Black Noir is a more powerful clone of Homelander whose entire purpose for being is to kill Homelander if he gets out of line. Has to live and work with Homelander for years and years, makes him go crazy, so he frames Homelander - taking pictures of himself killing people, eating babies, skullfucking people, etc. Noir also raped and killed Butcher's wife and lots of other things. Noir sends the pics to The Boys hoping they'll just leak it all and he will finally be told to kill Homelander. When Homelander sees the pictures of shit that "he" had done and can't remember it, he gets sick and eventually concludes he's doomed anyway and he's clearly a psychopath, so he might as well just start doing whatever he feels like doing as nobody can stop him and leads a rebellion to take over the country with Supes.

I'm pretty sure he destroyed the controls because he was being careless

Dude, that ending, my God, poor Billy.

Naw, he CAN control his heat vision.

He didn't even need to heat vision the dude. He wanted that plane to go down. He could've very easily snapped the terrorist in half before he got a shot off. Homelander just didn't want to.

>He intentionally used his heat vision to fuck up the controls
I doubt it, he seemed at least mildly surprised. It doesn't really matter in the end though to him. If he doesn't laser the controls, then they can fly the plane to landing and play on saving a plane. If he does, let everybody die and play on the tragedy that they "couldn't get there" to his advantage. Either way, he wins.

Wrong

Homelander fucked up because this is the first time he is actually handling a sensitive situation where he needs more than his powers, but because he is more Kardashian than Superhero his first instinct is to blow the guy away because that is what he does 99% of the time in situations where he is dealing with petty crime and not one where he would actually need some sort of military training and professionalism. Note that he thinks he "saved" the situation by giving the speech. To Homelander his job as a hero is not to save people, but to look good for the camera

Yeah, she looks better, but I would rather be with someone like Kimiko myself.

Based Homielander knew that they'd expect people in the wreckage.

I have a softspot for his lowbrow shit but let's not kid ourselves. Ennis outside of comics about war or Frank is garbage.

But Homelander is the one who cucks.

For the most part you're right, but Hitman is protocapekino.

Why didn't homelander just fly the passengers to the ocean one by one

everyone would have survived, people can swim AND they have floating jackets in planes

He can fly fast but not at supersonic speeds. he wouldn't have enough time to save everyone which would make him look bad and he can't have that

>He could've very easily snapped the terrorist in half before he got a shot off. Homelander just didn't want to.

Correct.

If they managed to land the plane the net effect would have been the same.

There was a throwaway line that it has been tried by people before

What was up with those random flies that kept appearing in scenes? I counted three of them that randomly buzzed into shot

There's a lot of flies during Toronto summers and they didn't bother dealing with them
I thought it meant something but apparently there was just a lot of flies at the time

Why not just glide it down slowly? Have it slowly land in the water might not work but you could still blame the terrorists if it didn’t work

no it was television

I have to ask something, did they do Butcher justice? Was he the shitbag with nothing to lose and no one left to hold him back?

The fact that butcher didnt snap the kid's neck because it was a supe kinda ruins his character. Hes all about killing all supes but won't kill a baby thats already killed multiple people.

we're still pretending this show makes any kind of sense?

So I realized in this discussion between "Homelander did it on purpose" and "Homelander did it by accident" that we're doing exactly what the writers want- trying to discern his motives.

And that I think is exactly why he is such a good character.

The main character kid annoys the shit out of me. And him saving A-train was down right annoying and stupid.

>tfw the totally off the wall comic is more well thought out then the show

In the comics he only holds back against literal retards (and that's because Wee Hughie reminds him that they're retards) or when he can actually make a bigger kill by letting one live for now.

In the comics he punts his head off when A-Train doesn't even realize why he's mad at him and then immediately regrets it.

>lanklet, pencildick being able to bring a super to orgasm

Comicfags seriously need to make a thread on Yea Forums if they want to go off topic, fucking retards.

Like he tells Maeve. There's nothing for him to push against, and messing with a plane moving at that speed risks sending it end over end.

You were born without a penis

Those are all boys aren't they

Imagine how horrifying it might be to think you're saved and a few moments later he goes all psycho rage and leave you to crash and die.
He fucked up big time by lasering the sandnigger in the cockpit, he could have just broke his neck or something, then figure something else to land the plane but no he had to lasering fucking everything

Homelander is a mommyfag, that's based

While Karl Urban is based, they fucked up Butcher's character

SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I LASER YOU!!!

superman did it just fine though. Why can't he?

For the last time: the Homelander actor from Banshee is too good to waste on the book’s one-dimensional version of the character. They are mixing up the Billy/Becca/Homelander dynamic to give Antony a meatier part. If it bothers you that this means you may not get a panel-for-panel remake of your favorite issue you are an infant

They made it better

Comic book Butcher was Ennis's power fantasy self insert character

TV Butcher exposes the facade of the "badass antihero who don't take no shit" troupe and exposes him as a sad lonely drunk with no self control and is a cuck

top-tip, this is a lie.
every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
The fact he moves through the air at all as he does means he doesn't need a solid object to push off of.
Homelander knew before they even left to respond to the situation he was going to let those people die, he had his speech planned out well in advance in order to put pressure on the government to let supes into the military.
There are clues to this, such as how Homeland outright says he needs help with his speeches. He can't just be that off-the-cuff, he knew exactly what he was going to do.,
He was also incredibly casual walking through that plane even though he could hear the heartbeats of the terrorists at the front of the plane.
He was also the one that ruined the flight controls even though his lasers have pin-point precision.

you have a good eye, pat yourself on the back for that one.

Because Superman was written as a cartoon for children where actual physics don't matter

And don't bring up the "Superman has a magical biostasis field" after the fact excuse that nerds made up to explain the fantastical bullshit

Thank you.

Imagine being this smoothbrained

i think you're the one being infantile here

Has there ever been a cooler depiction of laser beam eyes?

Because Superman is bullshit. That's kinda Garth's point with Homelander. You've got a man sized object attempting to slow something the size of a plane moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Homelander would punch through it.

Yes it was.

While I agree with you, they just killed his motivation and in the comics at least he knew wtf is going on and was well informed on the supes
In the TV show he's outsmarted all the time, doesn't seem to know shit about them while being on their tail for almost what? A decade ?and based Homelander could've killed him

>not realizing that the entire show is going on inside Homelander's head as he's dying on a doctor's bed in vietnam

Literally kill every single one of your coworkers you faggot shill

Cuckoldry is a literary motif.

have sex incel

found that hot and cute

More like they show is forcing the character to reevaluate his motivation

In the comic the only arc he has is that he learns he should have hated Black Noir instead (who is just an identical clone of Homelander)

Homelander could have literally dug into the plane and manually controlled it from the inside.
In case you didn't realize, he damaged the controls on purpose.
He was never going to save those people.

Superman's flight has become some kind of gravity manipulation that he can extend to other objects. If you look closely in newer adaptations, when he flies small objects float around him

What about him and Maeve pulling on the rudders to keep the plane from nose diving and landing it in the water.

The rudders are no stronger than the rest of the plane. They'd rip them off.

All correct.

This is unironically the first TV series I've actually watched in years that wasn't a documentary series

Attached: 1564192030790.jpg (500x371, 41K)

Did you even watch the episode

He terrorist shot the pilot and his immediate instinct is to blast the guy with his lasers because that is what he is used to doing all the time

Making Black Noir a Homelander clone wouldn't even make sense at this point (not that it made sense before).

I'm not the one you wanna fuck with.

And you're gonna find out in the next thread comicfag...

He has absolute precision blasts and could have just as easily fisted the guy through the chest.
>"wow such a shame I dragged my laser eyes all the way to the right conveniently over the flight controls and no further
He knew what he was doing 100%, he knew he could "flip it" before the plane had even gone down.

homelander is a genius though

Way to be condescending while saying nothing all at the same time.

>he damaged the controls on purpose.
Nigga what, the whole point of the mission way to try and show how effective Supes could be if they were allowed to work internationally. Saving that plane would have done wonders for them but he fucked it up royally and bailed because that would make them look awful and ruin any chance of the bill passing.

Did anyone find the shot where black noir starts playing the piano kind of weird?

He couldn't, but there was probably other ways to save everyone. Maybe move everyone to the back, cut the plane in half, and carry the side with people

>dun maeg fun ob meh!

What was that, little retard? Couldn't quite make that out.

He flips it with ease because that is what he does

He does use precision blast but is so accustomed to dealing with petty criminals and has no real training so his first instinct when startled is to blast the guy uncontrollably

Homelander is smart, just not smart at saving people

Because he's the only really interesting character.

Also a zero substance comment.

Now I want a scene of special forces supes that are all tacticool and do quick lasers and stuff.

Doubt it, this version of Homelander lets women dominate him in bed

This. When he takes out the drug den in the middle east he does the same shit. Drags his laser beams in wild directions without precision.
Unless he has time he doesn't give two shits about accuracy.

Really rude to be honest.

It's called mommydom

Attached: 1563885226176.png (959x1024, 756K)

Most submissive guys aren't immediately submissive. They typically play the part of a dom until they sense that the woman is into that shit

Having some people live and some people die is bad for business. In fact some of the survivors wou,d probabky have sued him for damages if they were injured during the landing. It was a lose lose after he blew up the controls.

I didn't know you maggots were allowed to watch programs not aired on Fox News.

>he whole point of the mission way to try and show how effective Supes could be if they were allowed to work internationally.
no, that's what Vought wanted the mission to be.
Homelander got sick of that shit and wanted to speed things up.
Don't you think it's odd that a man so convicted to super military that he gave a terrorist compound-v was simultaneously so casual about whether or not the rescue mission succeeded?
He planned the flip from the moment he knew those people were in trouble.

We know he's not actually that good of a PR guy, he needs help with his speeches and marketing and yet he already had the perfect speech ready for the news following the crash, one he had crafted all on his own.
It was pre-meditated.
During the 7 minutes it took him to fly there he figured out if he fails it looks like the military's fault but if he succeeds it's just another day where Homelander succeeds.

every episode was great except the one that note for note felt like it was written by a middleschool atheist.
even in a satirical show it missed the mark. not edgy, absurd, or meaningful enough to be anything but exhausting. just fake deep tangents taken from the diary of an angsty child and put to use as a script.

as a whole - 8.5/10
god bad episode - 3/10

Given how we see homelander flying, I'm fairly confident that he could have saved the entire plane.

kind of like the comic. what else did you expect from Seth Rogenstein

I'm thinking the kid is actually butchers but he got super powers from being sprayed with super jizz in the womb.

So at first I was weirded out by no mention of Supes outside of America but as I get further in I get it, but it raises more questions. Wouldn't there be a giant question as to why they are only in America? Or in the comics are there others outside of America before the villians appear?

what happened to lamplighter bros? I assume he was killed by butcher and co or someone else but i want to see some grandkid burner kino

He looked at shit and laser beamed it. He wasn't thinking about consequences when he killed that terrorist. He fucked up, plain and simple. He fucked up and he knew he fucked up.

Nobody said they dont have precision. But Homelander has been shown on multiple occasions to also not give a fuck and just blast away in the general vicinity of his targets.
The whole not giving a fuck about bystander causalities is a pretty big theme of the show.

He was aiming at one spot, not sweeping

missed the point of

Did anyone notice how Vaught basically had the capacity to predict most crimes? That's pretty dark if you think about it, they allow things to happen enough to send in the supes to pose.

you smoothbrains really don't want to admit when you're wrong do you?
If he "fucked up" he would have reacted to fucking up.
He didn't, he didn't even hesitate to decide the plane was going down and they couldn't do anything about it.
In both situations, a hostage was at gunpoint.
On the street Homelander can melt specifically at the gun, but on a plane where damage would be an issue suddenly he decides to sweep and just conveniently onto the control panel?
Homelander decided the plane was going down before he even stepped on board.

>pick a shitty neighborhood with a high crime rate
>just have a supe waiting around to show up, solve an inevitable crime and be around with cameras

You can do the same thing with a ghetto tracker app

>If he "fucked up" he would have reacted to fucking up.
He didn't react to fucking up because he is a cavalier asshole who is incapable of empathy. You are an idiot.

Honestly is this Karl's best performance not as Dredd? I really think so

Attached: b96f026cda0565a5dcbf2753a531b8fd.jpg (736x885, 41K)

He reacted, what are you talking about? His reaction was out of proportion, granted, like he dropped a piece of food on the floor, but that's still a reaction

imagine a show giving you all the evidence, having someone else point it out to you, and still denying it.
I'm convinced you're just doubling down because you feel embarrassed for not paying attention.

Is he ugly or good looking? I honestly can't tell

Far as I know it's just an "America, fuck yeah!" type of hivemind were people just think "yeah, of course only Murrica would have superheroes. Cause we're.. you know... Murrica!"

>Or in the comics are there others outside of America before the villians appear?

There are foreign heroes in the comics. Love Sausage being prime among them.
There aren't really many "villain" supes because the majority of them know it would be far more profitable to play by Vought's rules instead of acting alone.

all he would need to do is fly below the plane at the same speed and little by little change the trajectory until the plane is flying vertically, wait for gravity to stop the plane and before it starts falling again grab it and safely take it to the ground

>he doesn't know about love sausage
given how much was changed, I don't know if he'll show up though. probably make him black, which would make ZERO sense

>The whole not giving a fuck about bystander causalities is a pretty big theme of the show.
That meeting Butcher brough Hughie to made for a very cool and unsettling scene.

that would mean the entire weight of the plane would be borne on a tiny area, not to mention that he couldnt actually balance the plane properly because its so big compared to him. Also we don't know how much lift he can generate and also the fact that he likely meant for the plane to go down with no survivors from the beginning.

Yes. And Homelander was doublekino.

He's handsome

The thing that took me out of the show most was the implication that Vaught somehow had the capacity to genetically engineer babies on that level in like the 1980s

He's very good looking. Hunk.

>that smirk
God, i'd choke on his dick and i'm not even gay

Wouldn't be gay at all to choke on his dick tbqh.

they use a super serum on babies, nothing to do with genetics

You're the one who thinks that lasering a terrorist and destroying a control panel DIRECTLY BEHIND said terrorist, is some impossible coincidence. Sad!

>literally the first scene of the show is him lasering past a hostage and onto a gun without going through it

eeh not that guy but Homelander just needed to laser his forehead, instead he did a diagonal sweep spanning like 3 feet and damaging the control panel

>lazer eyes in 2019 scientific
>lazer eyes in 1980 unscientific
you are the dumbest person i've ever talked to on Yea Forums

He didn't fucking care. He did not think that far ahead.

I'm saying that the technology required to manipulate an organism on such a level is far more unlikely to be possible in the 1980s. You are projecting

Guys, rewatch the scene again. The plane hits turbulence in the middle of him lasering the jihadi which diverts his aim. Plus, he did in the spur of the moment and instinctively, so he didn't have time to laser the terrorisy in a perfect manner

even in the ass?

I mean it is for homelander, but it's also deeper than that as your posts shows. They try to make you care for Deep even after what he did. A lot of shows would never do that.

It's actually great. The show isn't just super heroes being assholes.

Yes? The whole point of the costume is sex appeal so they'd pad her ass for marketing stuff

supes are literally the good guys, all of them
the bad guys are sticking bombs up people's asses and murdering people over literal accidents

>Homelander and A-Train are the only obvious psychopaths

They're trying to make A-Train sympathetic in the show as well. Season 2 will have to pick it up with Stormfront and, hopefully, the G-Men if they really want to sell the "supes = high on power psychos" angle. Granted, at the end of the comic the only one of the Seven to go through with the coup plan is Homelander. Everyone else bails.

>They're trying to make A-Train sympathetic in the show
When did they do this? Hes nearly as self absorbed as Homelander and completely delusional.
