half way through. Why would the goverment not have their own Supers already in employment. Love the show so far but it seems odd that all the supers are concentrated in one corporations.
Half way through. Why would the goverment not have their own Supers already in employment...
The 7 are the government's property
Cuz the script says otherwise.
They tried to explain it away as it essentially privatizing war. Or demoralizing the current soldiers, etc.
It doesn't bother me that much.
They're walking WMD, thought it was explained if they employed them then the other countries might use nukes since they don't have Supes
yea one of the few weak points in the show
Nope. They work for Vought, a private company.
Though they want to be contracted by the US military as mercenaries.
In the comics, Vought has tried to insert superheroes into the military before but failed because Vought was lazy and cut corners by not training them to be soldiers. The current president hated superheroes because of this precedent. They're also the ego factor with getting superheroes to act like normal human beings when they have tremendous power.
>implying other countries wouldnt already use them
>implying using them against your own citizens would acceptable to use wmds against but not against foreign brown people
>implying other countries wouldn't already use them
It's like you didn't even watch the show, because it's clearly fucking explained that Vought has been manufacturing them and they're only in America.
Kinda in the best interest to humanize them.
You can see how badly things go if they let go of their humanity.
yea I clearly said i was half way through
They literally explain it later in the season user. Don't listen to the others.
Because all the big military contractors fought tooth and nail to to oppose government supes because it would mean they’re irrelevant.
its explaiend later,
the supers were actually all generated by the Vaught company, they know every kid who was injected so they can keep tabs on them. They wouldn't let them work for the gov, they would give them a better offer etc etc then ingratiate them into the supe life.
Its assisted in that a lot of the parents are probably like starlights mom, so they can rely on the parents pushing the kids to be a company superhero from a young age.
In the comics the Supes aren't even that Super anyway.
because a corporation developed compound V mate. very simple to understand.
Then shut the fuck up and finish before you share you cinema sins tier observations.
this and its why theres only supes in america
obviously if they were naturally born they would be popping up everywhere
the supes being from other countries is because homelander set up blacksites to inject foreign terrorists with the drug to try create supervillians, he uses a-train to run around the globe with the shit
It's because of a myriad of political issues. A senator mentions how his fellow Congressmen don't want supes in the military as it could potential cause some defense companies (like Lockheed or Boeing) to lay off their voters. The notion of adding supes to the military would make other counters more likely to use nukes as much of their regular arsenal has no chance against supes.
The supes are only found in America due to a plotline that is covered later in the film. Of the supes in America, many may work elsewhere but if they won't to go to the "big leagues", they try to get hired by Vought. "The Seven" are obviously Justice League in terms of popularity but there are some smaller teamups floating, such as the team that A-train and Popclaw met each other on.
>Then shut the fuck up and finish before you share you cinema sins tier observations.
Just turn your brains off!
Hughie is relentlessly handsome. I want to kiss him relentlessly.
Wait the government doesn’t have compound v.
How the fuck are they going to kill Homelander?
No? Did you literally miss the episode where Homelander kills that Mayor because he might spread the existence of it. Are you a literal brainlet?
All the smaller teams are accounted for; regarding that plotline that is covered later.
>finishing something is the same as turning your brain off
Cringe
>you must finish something before asking questions
Cringe!
Using his stronger clone obviously
Sorry, I was rude. Please have sex.
Ok, I'll be ready in 30 minutes, come ASAP!
because they're uncontrollable
How do you guys feel about how the show is handling the supes compared to the comics? They're a lot more redeemable in this and have a lot personality it feels. Especially Maeve, but I also prefer how they handled the assault in the show more than in the comics. It felt almost like the supes were too detached at the start. In the show it feels a lot more naturally almost? Like their vices are more grounded also show The Deep > comics The Deep
Natural* I also wanted to add that I think I like how the comics handled the plane crash more because of the fact that it was 9/11 and how it really showed just how incompetent the heroes are
Honestly the supes other than homelander seem like giant pussies that you could just chem weapon. Homelander from the show seems like the only one that other countries would have an issue with.
they're vought's property, that's the primary reason the government doesn't want them. in the comic there were a few naturally occurring supes in the world before vought started manufacturing them but they were independant of the military
what is noir's problem Yea Forumsmblr anons explain
Everyone except homelander can be killed within reasonable, only some who have stronger skin or durability but can literally just be killed with a bullet
Whats black black in french power?
What should we expect for season 2?
I thought Hugh would turn into a psychic super villain but nah, hes just an anime character
they explain it very soon
supes work for a corporation
corporation wants to be contracted by the government
in-case it's not clear, the V in compound-v is for Vought.
The question would be how Frenchie could reverse-engineer the drug if the government couldn't, but I guess the threat of the supes has just kept the government away from the substance all together.
He's an insane clone of Homelander with the sole mission to kill Homelander if he gets out of line.
Read on for more spoilers
In the comics he frames Homelander by dressing up as him and doing nutty shit like skull fucking decapitated corpses and eating babies. He takes pictures of this and leaks them out. Homelander sees them and snaps because he doesn't even remember doing these things, but he feels like that makes it even worse. He eventually says "Fuck it" and decides he'll rule the world, so Noir gets to finally murder him and live out his life's purpose. Their battle ends with Homelander's torso in a dying Noir's grasp as Butcher grabs a bit of Noir's brain and basically lands the final blow. Credits
>reverse-engineer the drug if the government
The government didn't know about it bro
The actress who plays the Female is great, she would have been a perfect choice to play Alita.
does homelander have superhealing?
>women wrote the worse two episodes
suprise surprise
half way through. why would the government not have their own suits already. love the movie so far but it seems odd that all the suits are concentrated in one corporation
>why would the government not have their own suits already.
I mean that's pretty much the plot to Iron Man 1 and 2.
how about maeve though, she even has magic armor
i mean homelander fired that machine gun at her for like 2m away and even her armor wasnt scratched
Actually watch the show first.
From what I can remember, he doesn't
Side note, check out Herogasm. It's a weird in-universe event that makes fun of those big two crossover events
yikes, saved the thumbnail
where did you watch it gib link
I know it's also a big plot point of the boys except instead of the gov't insisting they have their own it's the corporation insisting the government start a program for them
also if it were at all based on reality the government would own the formula when they pay for the contract because the us government has to have license to all IP it's using for defense
found it nvm
so does noir have the same powers as homelander?
whos in charge of noir? Mr vought?
thanks user but i ain't signing up for crap
Why were Vought that obsessed with giving them nicknames and other superhero shit?
Doesn't seem like it since The Female made him bleed easily
I'm pretty sure he has the same power set as him, but everything is slightly better because of the compound they used for him? And yeah, Vought in general are in charge of him
anyone have a screencap of homelander flying menacingly outside the airplane window nightmare at 40,000 ft style ? it was when he shot down the mayor of baltimore's plane.

did kimiko make him bleed? i actually dont remember, i know she managed to stab him
i thought the blood was coming from her
>The question would be how Frenchie could reverse-engineer the drug if the government couldn't
LSD and MDMA
I'm just a student so I get it for $30 a year. Saves me a bunch of time and money when getting books/supplies delivered and prime is a nice bonus
i had a eerily similar issue with trying to get Anno1880 a few months ago, ubisoft and epic are such cunts
i gave up right before buying it after finally getting to the store page frmo recovering accounts etc
ended up jsut pirating it
money isnt the issue, seems like an alright deal, its the fucking hoops you gotta jump through
You know, for all the power Homelander has, he'll never have what Stillwell's baby did.
And the very idea of all his power not granting him what a baby has is hilarious.
It's literally explained why they and only they have superheroes god damn watch the entire thing first before making threads whining about the story
nolan was right. its love, tars
Whats really really dumb about this is that they explain in the show that the 7 get phased in and out with other heroes. Ok I get if someone dies you replace them but why would you replace A-Train, just because some other guy runs a little faster when A-Train knows so much about the illegal inner workings and is complacent about it. A. He is clearly trustworthy. B. By firing him you risk him going public about it. This part was incredibly stupid. Same with the fishman you assume he knows about it so they punish him and boot him to the midwest yea that will end well.
marketing. superheroes rake in the cash
ask your mom to sign you up user. have her change your pee bowl as well
>supers
Why not call them supes like in the show
i actually think homeland is the only one who knew about the Vsyrem, A-train knew it as just some kinda cocaine for heroes that enhances powers, he might even realise it can gve others powers but i dont think he would have sussed out they were ALL lab creations since kids
i honestly dont think they are worried about someone like a-train or deep turning on them, in the end vought knows homelander will kill them or keep them in line and i think although we didnt see whats really happened to lamplighter in the show, they are gonna show him chained up next season, that alone would keep the others from leaking shit even if they got out
a-train killed his GF because he was scared of homelander, sure she did betray him but it was clear he did love her
>pee bowl
? ? ?
but black noir was shown fighting female of the species and she went toe to toe with him and he didnt pull out any of the powers homelander has
i think the show will be going with his son as the clone that can kill him
after all he is shown to be a two pump chump, and somehow he lasted three hours with dead girl? i think the made it all fabricated, she was paid to birth the clone and dissapear with him to keep him safe from homelanders influence
Maeve is bulletproof same with Starlight I think. Translucent to some degree I'm guessing Deep too and A train has super speed, could literally kill a thousand guys in a blink of an eye.
well, he doesn't fly in the comics either, in his disguise, it's a disguise
>Wah, we gotta type some numbers >in and remember some stuff. It's >all too hard
wow so Karen is just a slut that caused her husband to go on a homicidal path and ruined his life. In the end i only cared about Black Noir.
but she still fights him. and even if she loses she still makes him bleed
also question: does homelander know that black noir is his clone?
Translucent has normal human strength but absurdly tough skin. He should've kicked Butcher's ass like a fucking drum with one hit if he was super strong, but it took him a good beating.
It's weird. Even Starlight has super strength.
Speaking of, ever notice how they removed flight from a lot of heroes? Deep, Starlight, Maeve, all could fly in the comics but not the show.
>does homelander know that black noir is his clone?
fuck no
He has Xray vison, why hasn't he used it atleast once to see Noir's face
yeh wait why not
how is that explained in the comic, without a doubt he would have xrayed him before
Its probably to highlight Homelander as the most powerful or because cgi is expensive as fuck
Stop praising shows that have anti christian propaganda in them.
Single mommy cunt got what she deserved, so that's a plus.
Also fish rape, did the feminist rage about that on twitter or is fish rape allowed?
Also who wants to fuck a fish? A woman of course.
Funny how the government is actually not the bad guy this time but a big corporation is.
Pro government propaganda, shit.
>inb4 some asspull like noir's helmet is made of zinc and Homelander has never questioned why
cause muhhh jewish marxist subversion HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
user... I
maybe he just doesnt know his own face?
they say if you met a complete copy of yourself you wouldnt really realize its you
so maybe he just thinks hes an incredibly handsome man
>Everything is propaganda
Go read the Bible faggot it's the only thing that won't trigger your autism.

>*ear-shattering clapping and sharting*
Is it really this easy to deceive Americans?
Wouldn't be too much of an asspull. You're a superhero who wants to keep a secret identity, so you wear a mask Homelander can't see through for obvious reasons, not much there to question, that it's because he's Homelander's clone is a big fucking reach over simply "he doesn't want anyone to know what he looks like because that's his whole shtick".
I realized something major about cape comics from watching this:
There's no reason to worship a guy who walks on water and can make wine when you've got a shitload of superdicks around.
Excuse me but where the fuck is this good boy in the show? Do they have one single good reason to leave him out?
Having =/= knowing about you illiterate.
>Is it really this easy to deceive Americans?
Just remember that people worship other people, turn up to red carpet events to cheer, request selfies if randomly meeting them on the street and comment on their social media posts yet never get a single reply. It's not hard to imagine that this sickness would be so much worse in a meta-human universe.
People would still fear hell and you also have the supes praising god.
Hes in a flashback. Igroring the obvious its a bitch to train/cgi a dog theres no reason for terror to be in the show. In the comics terrors off limit because bucher has all that dirt and is backed by the govt. Hurting the dog is unthinkable. In the show nothing could stop supes from killing him and the boys are constantly on the run.
That mayor explicitly stated he'd heard rumors. We don't know from whom. What we do know is that the CIA possibly did and that mayor, then near the end of the season the FBI finally learns and gains proof from Butcher. After being outteed, it's obvious more channels now know about the compound, but we're still not sure who all's in the loop.
Oh wait true, they're more relentless in the show, but still somehow less entertaining.
This scene is so unrealistic :
>No Loss of Cabin Pressurisation
>that one flying nigger in WW2 who practically handed those American soldiers to the krauts
The plane part is kind of stupid. Not stupid as in poorly written, but rather the way people are reacting to it.
The flight was going to be shot down. From the start those people were dead. All of them. They had a lottery chance on supes saving them and it fucked up. Homelander was careless. Homelander was crass. Homelander was sociopathic and psychotic.
But he did try, and it wasn't him who condemned those people to die, but the terrorists.
Hiomelander is definitely a psychotic piece of shit but the difference between people sympathizing with him or hating him during the plane scene is him being a little sadder.
1) Everyone outside the inner circle of Vought believes Supes are natural and not artificially created, until the later events of the season.
2) In the show, they say that enlisting superheroes could cause escalation and someone like Homelander might make a desperate nation use a WMD to defend themselves
>half way trough
Explaining that requires spoiling the finale, so be careful.
Supes don't get their powers naturally, Vought creates them. They find parents, pay them, and inject the babies with Compound V, giving them superpowers. Later on in their lives Vought approaches those kids with superpowers pretending they have nothing to do with it, and finance their super hero careers with the avail of their parents, who are involved in the process of making their kids superpowered. The government could never "get there first" and hire a hero as a soldier, because Vought was there from the start.
all the power in the world wont save your soul son.
>Hughie and Robin aren't Scottish
Dropped.
btw why did they turn hughie into sucha pussy.
in the comic that nigga share a fair amount of hero kills.
I think they gave butcher's wife compound V so she could carry the child to term and I also think Stillwell was on compound V to be able to have a baby at 55. Maybe microdosing V so they don't develop full powers or go semi-crazy like Kimiko, just added endurance or slight deaging.
You're right, those people were dead anyway.
So the metal rod Hughie shoves through Butcher in order to kill him after Butcher kills the rest of The Boys, will that make it into the show?
>Things that are objectively a bad deviation from the source material
>The boys not having compound V
Makes the fight shit, and takes away the in-universe realism and viciousness of the fights.
>Stitwell not being cold and completely unafraid of Supers
Seriously the best part was how little fucks he gave about his personal safety.
"the boys"
the 7 are an allegory for the 1%
Thank god. I went to read the comics after the series, and that is a detail that kind annoyed me.
Imagine being smug and talking shit about other countries, when your nation is not even independent. Like nigger, stop calling yourself scotish, that ain't even a country.
>that one person who falls out of the plane at the 10 second mark
That's what I would do in this situation.
If I'm going to die anyway, might as well see the sun setting.
>nobody got the bright idea to jump out paddling and kicking away from the plane to catch inertia and keep swimming right before it crashed
I can't wait for Herogasm and G-men and Superduper.
Gov hates Vought for numbers of reasons related to militarizing super and their past failures in WW2 and Vietnam with providing faulty equipment to the army.
>White male with blond hair
>Evil
So again, why is this show based?
omg did you guys see it this show?
instagram.com
This guys got it, huge amounts of the population idealise people for being good looking or good at sports. If superheroes where real they would be practically worshipped as gods.
Maybe in the show. I'm not sure how rare they are in the show. In the comic around the time Hughie's girlfriend gets killed there's like 200k known supes, some of them natural born.
Rare enough in the show for them to parallel hollywood celeb culture.
Hmm... That sounds gay.
Just watch the show and you will understand.
For those that doesn't want to read: Vought or what the company is called creates these supes by experimenting on children with drugs. That is why.
Doesn't need saving my dude. The church just made his so called exaltation at the cross into a save all you mud people moment because it makes it easier to swallow the fact that the romans caved in to the jews who cried out heresy and nothing divine stopped him from dying a long drawn out death among criminals.
It made more sense in the comics where it was 9-11. If the supes hadn't intervened, either both planes would've been shot down or they'd have lost the WTC. Instead, they lost the Brooklyn Bridge, which in the long run caused more damage despite an initially lower loss of life.
read the comics its a WAY better story
Did they just remove this to make his mommy complex seem more sinister?
lol no
Man I cannot handle the Hughie x Starlight shit right now. It's really making me fucking sad.
they removed it because homelander didn't rape becka in the show, he's not that kind of evil
Yeah, the show seems pretty gay comparatively.
What's the difference between this and Watchmen? Also which is better?
in some regards, but there's lot's of shit in the comics that's stupid as hell, like how the boys use v for example
I guess, but how they use V isn't as important as the spirit, which is zanier and a lot more perverted.
>asking questions before finishing the show
OP's super power is turning his brain invisible
You know his brain isn't actually invisible, right? He's reflecting brainwaves. Full of carbon.
The Boys is a gross Watchmen. It's not really edgelord level though.
Why would he do that????
The Boys is whacky and like -teen- edgy, where cussing is the main dialogue filler.
The show fucking sucks
I should have quit after episode 2
But you didn't, and now you're probably gonna watch season 2. Welcome to the machine, sheep.
How do I use torent to download the files for free
It was explained in the show. Vought creates the supers by making private deals with their parents.
One with English subtitles maybe?
This girl jumps on you and starts to rip your chest open, what do?
Die, I guess
Rent?
The rest?
Well user, usually I'd tell you to go fuck yourself and I'm not spoonfeeding your retarded nigger ass, but today I'll give you a simple guide:
>Download torrent client (bittorrent, utorrent, transmission)
>Go to torrent site (thepiratebay, torrentz.eu, aiosearch)
>type name of what you want
>go to the one with the most seeders OR the one with the best quality to help that one seed
>use a VPN or seedbox (there are things you can get without one, but they're usually only very old foreign films or obscure stuff) otherwise your ISP is likely to slow your speed down
>peerblock can also help but you're not escaping Disney/Amazon/big American companies with it, so you might as well not use it and use a VPN or seedbox instead (there are free VPNs, Google them
>right-click the magnet link on the torrent you want
>copy the link location
>paste it into your torrent client so you're not downloading magnet files
>please keep seeding after, especially if it's a hard to get file, to help others keep the sharing going
V was created during WWII by nazi in the comics and created Stormfront. The inventor runned way and give the formula to Vought who mass produced it. But because Vought is shit at safety measure V leaked in the environnement and people were contaminated. V being instable as fuck the result were random and people have sometime power that cripple them and kill them.
Butcher ask to have a more stable version of the V, which just increase strengh and resistance (and longevity) to face sup
Show had potential but fell apart faster than a Chinese motorcycle. Not bothering with season 2
How so, pls explain
>Stormfront
That's the one change from the comics i'm fucking pissed off about. Why did they change him to be a lesbian kike? What the fuck is this shit?
They die to conventional weaponry, they're more like celebrities really
He's just a chick, lad, dunno where you're getting lesbian or kike from. Chill
Even Homelander?
Why its called "The Boys"?
Homelander is still pretty super but even then Black Noir died to bullets (I know he was injured but he should still be super durable but wtv)
the fbi woman already knew what compound v was when butcher mentioned it to her, they just didnt have any
>all women are lesbians
life is not porn you useless cumbrain
The story follows a small clandestine CIA squad, informally known as "The Boys", led by Butcher and also consisting of Mother's Milk, the Frenchman, the Female, and new addition "Wee" Hughie Campbell, who are charged with monitoring the superhero community, often leading to gruesome confrontations and dreadful results
Thanks. I don't think I need VPN. I'm not in usa
Why didn't they just drown Translucent?
>Butcher speaking to Susan (FBI lady)
"They call it Compound-V, blah blah blah." He proceeds to explain what it is.
>Susan in response
"It could be heroine or blah blah blah."
This was unironically a fetish of mine now I'm.terrified
I don't wanna be some footnote in some future CIA doco on the origins on some mutant woman or someshit
How are they going to kill his stronger clone?
Cum
