craziest moment from the episode on the video
we'll do top 10 and easter eggs as we go along just careful for spoilers
from the boys season 2 episode 4 so starting with number 10
they start with those funny jokes of the video interviews that the deep is doing
with the church of the collective interviewing different women to become
his wife quote unquote in an arranged marriage that they claim will
rehabilitate his image and get him back on the seven
i think we're all in agreement that of course that's ridiculous and that's not
going to get him back on the seven the church is just trying to brainwash
him indoctrinate him like they try to get other superheroes
this is a very clear parody of big organizations like scientology or other
religions we're making all these jokes about the fresca cult too
they didn't hammer home the fresca jokes in this episode but i'd be willing to
bet that if you could look in the background of most of the scenes
involving the church in this new church character you'd probably see a can of
fresca somewhere they have this montage of different
women that are kind of funny in their own different ways each one has their
own sort of kink or weirdness or weird backstory that they tell and as
funny as that super slutty one was at the end where he's like oh definitely
that one we want that one the one that will do anything that i say
they just remind you how deeply he's let the church sink its hooks into him
because they're like of course you get to choose who you marry but no
you're going to marry this girl right here the funny thing about the one that they
chose for him to marry is that she's the one that was all about that lover's pack
the ones that died together and were found
fossilized so it almost sounds like she's going to try and have some sort of
death pact with the deep so somebody warn him that's a bit of a red flag
number nine kimiko and frenchie's arc takes a left turn when she drills down
on stormfront obsessed with getting revenge
for the death of her brother who vote is calling a supervillain they even blame
him for all the people the stormfront killed in that building in the damage
that she caused it's just another example of what they
did to butcher when homelander killed stilwell
they control the media the television stations the broadcasting the shows so
it's all part of their giant pr machine spinning things the way they want to
spin them he's barely able to stop her from throwing her life away like there's
no way that you're going to walk away from this alive please
don't do it let's go home you're not going to be able to beat her like this
there's a couple really cool stormfront moments from the comic book that they
might wind up including in later episodes so i don't want to talk about
those too much now in case they wind up being spoilers
there's also that frenchie moment with his other girlfriend where they talk
about lamplighter foreshadowing something
later this season he's going to be coming onto the show
they actually kicked the character off the seven right before the events of
season one episode one the premiere that's when starlight joined the seven
replacing lamplighter so i'll talk more about what's going on with lamplighter
when he actually shows up in an episode which should be pretty soon
but number eight homelander in the shape shifter still well this is probably one
of the funnier more parts of the episode
the reveal is kind of shocking too and you don't really know what's going on
until the end of the episode but for a brief second i actually
thought that he was hallucinating her when we first met her because he is so
nuts it's not completely out of the realm of possibilities
but it's just another superhero that has shape-shifting abilities that he
probably pays to live out his fetish fantasies with the replacement stillwell
i kind of wonder now if he was visiting this person while stillwell was still
alive because he didn't really consummate his
relationship with stilwell till right before he wound up killing her
it's every bit as nuts as you would expect him telling her
everything you think he wants to hear you're amazing everything you do is
incredible just being the mommy that he thinks that
he wants you're the most powerful person on the planet
then obviously the real twist is the ending which we'll talk about in a
second because i think they're also foreshadowing a major comic book twist
down the road number seven though mother's milk huey and starlight's big
road trip i really liked a lot of their casual
scenes together that didn't involve a lot of action it was more about big
reveals and them just having fun together learning about people's
backstories singing a whole bunch of billy joel
while they traveled to learn the secret of the superhero liberty from back
during the vietnam war era of the 70s did this whole thing with starlight and
huey's relationship they're probably the most wholesome couple
on the show there's still a couple mostly just a couple that can't see each
other for now because of how serious things are getting
you get a ton of mother's milk backstory you learn his father was killed by
vaught because he tried to expose them after something quote-unquote happened
to mother's milk involving vot when he was a child i
think this is just meant to be a big comic book easter egg for mother's milk
and his powers i don't know if they're going to do this on
the tv show but he does have powers in the comics he has some
minor superpowers like enhanced strength when he drinks
get it his mother's milk that's why his name is mother's milk
he and homelander would definitely have some stuff to talk about but tv show
mother's milk probably was just a test subject of vaught and compound v
when he was a child and something went sideways usually vaught only tests or
injects compound v into newborn babies or really
really young kids but in some special cases the effects are much greater when
they inject it during the fetus stages of development
that's what they did with people like homelander they injected massive amounts
of compound v into his mother's womb when he was still a fetus developing
number six though starlight versus homelander he gives her the business or
tries to give her the business in the elevator after that little stillwell of
the fake stillwell pep talk totally eats up all
her lies it seems like he's pretty easily manipulated as his conversation
with stormfront proves later on the showrunner said that this is because
homelanders real weakness is more psychological than it is physical like
you might not be able to hurt him physically very
easily but the right speech the right phrases can completely cripple him
emotionally for now though she's still on the seven
she's still in the clear with homelander which we cannot save for a train
so number five everyone press f in the chat to pay respects to a train
homelander just gives him that funny speech like we thank you for your
service buddy now get the hell out of here don't let the door hit you in the
ass on the way out there was some season 2 trailer footage
of him in that ohio dive bar with the deep just drowning their
sorrows to make as many puns as possible so maybe that's where he goes to seek
some solace like you also got kicked off the seven i just got kicked off the
seven so let's hang out together it'll be real funny to see how he reacts
to all the deep's weird cold stuff if the deep tries to get him to also
join the church of the collective number four though black noir and that
analysts were some of the mvps of the episode the hijacks to track down
butcher they had some of the funniest scenes
in the entire episode and it's all because everyone's so terrified of black
noir and because he doesn't speak it makes
him even scarier just because you've seen the things that
he can do especially with that opening scene from season 2 episode 1.
they were posting a bunch of pictures from behind the scenes a while ago this
is what the actor under the mask actually looks like but
after a case of red bull they find butcher at becca's secret compound
and i think the reason why this is an even bigger deal is because black noir
and the other members of the seven don't know about becca and they don't
know about homelanders son there was a moment during the season 2
trailer where we see some footage of black noir
on a rooftop in a suburban looking house so i'm hoping that this foreshadows
black noir going to becca's house to investigate
homelander's son in the sun using his powers to try and stop black
noir we've already seen that he can soak a ton of energy damage because that
opening scene and during this episode in particular
butcher and other people keep referencing the kids glowing eyes
and heat vision so i'm just hoping that they have a scene where he unleashes his
heat vision on black noir for the very first time just frying him a little
even giving him a full blast wouldn't be enough to kill him as we've seen it
seems like he regenerates pretty fast number three though butcher finds his
wife finally and somehow it's not even the biggest twist
of the episode but they answer a bunch of long-running questions about what
really happened to her back then she says she did not go willingly with a
capital r when referencing what happened with homelander son where that came from
she hates being trapped in vat's compound but the kid seems like he might
turn out alright with her influence and she doesn't want to abandon him to
vaught so that they can just turn him into
another psychopath like homelander becca also kind of says something that
foreshadows the stormfront reveal at the end of the episode too
she says there'd be two assholes out there then
which we know is actually true because now we know stormfront's secret
there are now two of them that we know about that are out there two really
terrible villains becca also seems like she does want to
be with butcher but she understands his dark side and how crazy he
gets but she needs to stay at the compound to protect the superboy
not because she doesn't want to be with butcher they did proceed to get it on
pretty quickly though and she will be in more of the episodes this season so they
will be following up on what's going on with her
in the sun here like the black noir foreshadowing that i mentioned
number two stormfront versus homelander and her big
secret so i think the chemistry between the two of them is great it's fun to
watch her talk circles around him and manipulate
him you could see the confusion on his face like he thinks this is all about
her wanting to take control of the seven but she really doesn't care about any of
that to her credit she does try to explain
the four-dimensional chess game that she's playing with the media and all
these people in the public i'm paying these bloggers with coupons
and you had to spend 270 million dollars the look of confusion on his face is
hilarious like she stops him dead in his tracks and you can see the hamster just
jump off the wheel in his head like wait what
just happened here what's going on what are you talking about he's clearly
affected by her verbal takedown too you're pathetic for needing people's
approval so desperately which they then pay off at the end of the episode
but obviously the even bigger reveal is that stormfront is actually just
liberty from the 1970s and she just changed her identity
and hasn't aged in the last 48 years so that would put her around the vietnam
era war when this flashback scene is happening
the really big stormfront comic book easter egg here too is actually for
the original version of the character in the comics he actually was created by
german scientists during world war ii mother's milk says
that she's around 78 years old in present day that would mean that she was
born in 1942 smack dab in the middle of world
war ii in the comics they do the exact same
thing with the character 2 in present day vaught creates a new
identity stormfront for this quote-unquote
hero and says that they're a viking because it's a big thor
marvel avengers easter egg he leads a team called payback which is another
avengers reference the difference with the tv show version
of the character is that after vaught came to the united states through
operation paperclip after world war ii and he started
experimenting on people it sounds like they found stormfront
as a baby experimented on compound v with her turned her into the liberty
character and once she reached maturity she just
stopped aging she's just been this age for the last 48 years but number one
though probably the biggest moment of the episode
has to be homelander almost one doing it with himself
and then two killing himself the way they played this was not subtle at all
it was like he was living out a domination fantasy of sorts
with himself like he was telling himself off you're weak you're nothing
then stormfront's earworm does its evil magic on him in his brain and he comes
to the realization that i don't need anyone to love me i don't need anyone's
approval which kind of implies that he's going to
become an even worse villain now because what happens when a psycho like him
doesn't care about the approval of other people that's a real super villain in
the making there so it just sounds like things are going to completely spiral
out of control in the best possible way i can't wait to see it all
go down the drain for them i don't want to talk too much about what
happens in the future of the comics in case the show winds up doing it
but this does imply that they might be going for a big
twist most of you who have read the comic probably know what i'm talking
about please don't post those spoilers in the
