my theory is that they were worried no one would understand a Scottish accent
a scottish and aussie main character duo would have been the most kino cast. too bad you'd need someone like James McAvoy to pull off a decent accent. shit is 100x harder than your cookie cutter english accent you hear in every single movie with a UK character
>aussie
Butcher is meant to be British, though. Also, Karl Urban is from New Zealand.
American audience needed a sojastalk to identify with.
>The Boys
>founded by a lady
>20% of the current crew is female
What did they mean by this?
Karl Urban was hard enough to understand with his Bill Sikes impression.
he's aussie in the show
can't fool me kiwi
Because Simon Pegg was too old
What’s with Simon pegs character? Is he really a wimpy mild mannered nerd who loves tv or something else?
Nobody would want to watch if he looked like that.
They should have made the dad Scottish then, and he calls Hughie Wee Hughie.
I do find it weird. If he was a Scottish character, that'd at least do its part for making him feel a little less generic.
Scottish accents are only bad for the working class people. There are plenty of posh actors they could have chosen.
that would have made sense, then he could say jings
What the fuck does jings mean
Unironically this
french calls him petit hughie ___once___
Why didn't Simon Pegg play Hughie? They look fucking identical.
>he's aussie in the show
what? no he isn't. he uses cockney rhyming slang, references the Spice Girls and I'm pretty sure he even outright says he's from ENgland at some point
That's what I thought they were going to do when they cast Pegg, but apparently even that was too foreign for them.
How are we supposed to feel bad for Hughie's dead gf when he is fucking a much cuter, nicer and richer girl 5 episodes later?
Because Simon Pegg is old as fuck now. When the character was written and drawn with him in mind, it was when he was much younger.
Pegg is too old now and looks like the cryptkeeper
Is Frenchie really "French"?
In the comic there are contradictions to his backstory that imply he may not even be an actual Frenchman. Of course, in the comics he's so insane that he may actually have just decided to be French one day.
what happened to the teddy at the end of episode 8?
no i mean ethnically
Hughie's dad (Simon Pegg) actually said jings ONCE.
reminder these are his parents
What did he mean by this?
I fucking hated Hughie in the comics. Whiny cunt
he looks like a young max payne
He would make a good Max Payne.
Lucky guy, he could've turned into a fucking mutant
He's from Marseille, of course he's not french.
He speaks French with no accent at least. Looks like a typical southerner.
the nose is big like his fathers with her mothers nostrils
i had not a god damn clue about the making of this show until just now, due to this thread. and im already disappointed
it was surprisingly good for a modern prime/netflix rapejob.
I wanted a cute boy so I could fap now I have to fap to this mediocre nepotism whore
um sweetie girls can be boys too
I thought he was aussie until they said he that he was supposed to be british, the accent is not very convincing.
WHACK 'IM
he looks like a slim and young version of that dude from the office
>supergod
>irredeemable
>the boys
Other comics about evil superheroes?
I hate everything British. I hate the people, the shit languages, the perception they have of themselves, their accents, their cunt faces EVERYTHING. God squatted next to Europe and shat out Britain.
the fuck happend to the deep
enjoyed the gill fingering so much, we went out for some more
why is the source material discussed so much for this show, especially when most claim the comics are mediocre? other tv adaptations i don't see the source material discussed nearly as much
Will they do the thumb scene with black noir? Or any of herogasm?
In the show he mentions Marseille, so he might be from the south of France.
He kinda looks like it too.
I think the actor is actually an israelite (which is basicaly the same as being french nowadays)
>then he could say jings
He doesn't say jings in the show? This is very troubling
Do you remember which issues cover Herogasm? I can’t remember
Why does the Homelander actor look dead inside?
Elizabeth Shue oozes sex.
youtu.be
youtu.be
It was its own mini
I don't know but he is one handsome fucker.
It's like he can't stand her, how are his interviews with other cast members
He is pretty based
youtu.be
unfortunate truth
comic Hughie would wipe the floor with this idiot - but then again, the tv series is shit compared to the comic in general
Because simon pegg cant act
Why didn't they kill A-Train when they broke his leg?
Throw some make-up and hair dye on him. The dude playing Hughie already looks old anyways, so gives a shit.
Rogen really wanted the guy from The Flash but couldn't get him.
Why should we feel bad for the dude that got his dick snapped off (by accident) when he got to shag an ice princess more than once.
Is that the guy from The Day after Tomorrow? Who's the mum?
t. American
are you 14 years old?
>once
He calls him that a bunch of times until Hughie calls him out on it
How the fuck could you think that accent was Australian?
i meant in the show
Because he's not Homelander in real life
So did I.
He's also from that movie with the Sean Connery dragon.
fair enough mustve missed it
The did cast him as Hughie, just Hughie Sr
don't see much chemistry between this cast
the poor girl only got a stupid question
This.
goggle orgasm actress and find out
Tbh so did I. I knew he was saying something before Hughie when talking about Hughie but he says it so fast it's only the last time you hear it clearly and Hughie responds with "why do you keep calling me that..."
He's a Jew? Wtf I thought he's an Arab for sure, hence Frenchie.
>Tomer Kapon (also Kappon or Capon, Hebrew: תומר קאפון; born 15 July 1985) is an Israeli film and television actor and model.
>Kapon grew up in Holon, Israel, and in Rishon LeZion, to a Jewish family. He is the second son of business-owner parents. He enlisted in the Israeli Defence Forces in 2004, where he was a battalion combat soldier and later a squad commander in the Paratroopers Brigade. He participated in the Israeli disengagement from Gaza and in the 2006 Lebanon War.
>At the age of 26 he was living in Tel Aviv's Hatikva Quarter, and studied at the Yoram Levinstein's acting school for a year.
playing the long game
He’s basically given up since Hughie’s mother left, is the vibe I got.
He’s just coasting the rest of his life away watching TV.
scottish equivalent of dang
black actor
Like "jinkees." You know, what Velma from Scooby Doo says?
Because Urban is kiwi and the accent he does in the show doesnt remotely sound british. So I just assumed aussie.
This desu, Yanks would be genuinely lost if Hughie was Scottish and they can't tell the difference between a cockney and an Australian so many of them think Butcher sounds legit.
> show doesnt remotely sound british
It does though
Because they have sense.
Genius move to just make the mc a young white male who's a dweeb but cute enough.
And Frenchie. Couldn't understand a thing he said
Maybe to an American but not to anyone else. Every now and then he manages to get a line out without slipping up but 90% of the time its obvious he's a kiwi trying be a cockney and it just comes out sounding like an aussie.
omg, meg ryan is his mom
I'm British, he gets it fine.
He gets the character right, but the accent is abysmal. You need to get your hearing checked
He auditioned with a fake name, he got the role on his own
I want Popclaw to be my strung out junkiefu
model? HOW
No you do
t. northerner whos only idea of what a cockney sounds like is Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.
Seriously mate I'm from the part of England that Butcher is supposed to be from, I've been around this accent all my life and he's fucking terrible at it. He does a good job at everything else, but that voice coach for this show is slacking off.
popclaw said he had a British accent, I just assumed she was retarded because I definitely thought Butcher was Australian and I had no clue Urban was from New Zealand.
>northerner
Wrong. Cockney is extinct now anyway nigger you've never heard it in your life.
He does fucking not. I didn't even realise he was attempting to do an English accent. He sounds kiwi 50% of the time.
>even starts thread with a comic panel
Seriously, are Yea Forumsfags retarded?
How is this not a comics thread?
Yea Forumschads don't give a fuck who Hughie was in your picture books. How old are you faggots anyway, still reading comic books. Bet you get laid all the time... NOT.
his dad says it once towards the end of the season
is this post ironic? I don't want to believe you posted this sincerely
The character in the comic looks old as fuck. I don't understand the problem?
