Welcome back everyone it's Charlie, the boys is here, diabolical.
This is going to be my season 2 episode 1, 2 and 3 video they dropped the first 3 episodes.
I will be doing weekly episode videos for all them.
So be sure to subscribe to get everything.
We're doing an Amazon giveaway all you have to do to enter is be subscriber and leave
your favorite moment from the episodes on the video.
Normally I would do top 10 and Easter eggs, but there's so much stuff happening in these
episodes and it's all 3 episodes in this one video that it should be like top 100.
And it's the boys series.
So it's way crazier than most television shows, because they drop the first three episodes
just careful for spoilers for episodes 1 to 3.
So what i'll do is i'll number these as we go along through the episodes and cover all
the Easter eggs, but if you don't follow them on social media, they actually dropped the
episodes a day early Thursday instead of Friday when they were supposed to drop as part of
this big promotional campaign.
It was meant to be a joke about Vought taking over the boys twitter account in the boys
and butcher leaking the episodes in retaliation a day early.
The titles of the episodes are also titles of the comic book chapters, but the actual
chapters don't necessarily correspond the plot of the episodes, but it starts with the
CEO of Vought played by Giancarlo Esposito's much bigger character during Season 2.
His name is Stan Edgar so Homelander's like the evil Superman of this equation he would
be more like the Lex Luther he's negotiating with Jim beaver from supernatural who works
for the government about the terms of putting superheroes in the military that whole thing
they're trying to set during season one wall black noir is busy on his mission to take
out the new foreign villain Homelander help create the very purpose of convincing the
government in the military to let superheroes in all while sympathy for the devil by the
stones is playing.
I guess that kind of makes Giancarlo Esposito's character that quote of quote devil of the
situation.
Even though you can think of black noir is a devil of sorts and a lot of people are wondering
how different or how similar he's going to be the comic book version of his character.
Please don't post spoilers about black noir in the comments, because while this hit mission
is going on the takes down this for a superhero.
He soaks a bunch of damage revealing that he has a whole bunch of powers that you didn't
know about.
But the sympathy for the devil song also applies to him because this scene where he brings
the severed head and this bunny in to freak that little kid out of the next room.
That's also a reference to comic book black noir being the worst worst possible person.
You can imagine.
If you think characters on the TV show or bad black noir in the comics is so so much
worse so much more.
If you didn't see my video about it.
There's a bunch of supernatural characters and people that worked on the supernatural
TV show that are associated with the boys TV show now.
So I reference Jim beaver who played Bobby on supernatural Jensen Ackles is actually
good to be playing soldier boy or a version of soldier boy during season three.
I don't know how many episodes is going to be in, but I worry that a video about that.
So a link at the end of this but Eric Kripkey who's the showrunner of the boys actually
used to be the showrunner of supernatural so maybe we get Jared Padalecki in the future
Season 2 just complete the circle.
One of the big Easter eggs they have during this conversation, though, when Giancarlo
Esposito's talking to Jim beaver is makes a reference to telling the president what
to do, the United States president and that's a big arc in the comic books Vauxhall mission
is that they want more power.
But in order to get real power they have to be able to get superheroes in the government.
So superheroes in the military is a big thing right now on the show, but the next big step
as they tease here is putting superheroes in the White House and I love the joke about
collateral damage.
34% of any city that they go to was superheroes the wind up trashing so they almost cause
as much damage as they prevent the canap\'e9 that off by the time we get to episode three
with Kimiko's brother in Stormfront going after both of them which he completely trashes
in entire building just because she feels like it but then they transition to the funeral
for translucent with Homelander giving this really terrible speech trying to continue
to spin this is a big PR move everything that Vought does is basically a PR move.
Up until this point, pretty much everything that they say everything that they do is all
meant to just continue to feed their big merchandising machine cell more Murch he see couple jokes
about that to when Hughie goes out on the street walking around you see merch for the
seven all over the place in then when they go to the warehouse with all the superhero
costumes it's all Vought Merch.
They also have wall-to-wall commercials and TV shows all trying to pump up this narrative
that they're trying to feed to the public about what Vought wants them to believe they
try to pin everything on butcher in spin him is this crazy person they're not wrong about
that.
Butcher is definitely crazy as a sort of implied later in the episodes you can kind of see
that Vought is trying to control everything we meet up with the deep who still stuck in
Ohio and exile from the seven drinking his problems away getting kicked out of some TGI
Friday's looking bar his arc is kind of hilarious in a very sad way, like the sorely spirals
out of control in that waterpark.
The funny thing about his arc with the Colts because he totally falls for he totally eats
up everything that they feed him is it is meant to be a parallel for Hughie's arc because
he's also spiraling out of control and he keeps watching that Billy Joel music video,
they actually included the beginning of episode three.
I think for the deep it winds up being the Colts that he runs to but like Hughie says
we get to episode three.
He talks about starlight being his quote of quote second wind, like the Billy Joel song
for set up.
The whole compound V are trying to expose Vought.
I know a lot of people heard that compound V in their wondering if the going to do that
big q. week comic book twists because he keeps talking about being this normal guy.
I'm just a normal guy that nobody thinks his special, but it makes all these pop-culture
references like I could be the Harry Potter of this group.
I don't want to talk too much about that in case winds up being spoilers later this season
is a big twist with Hughie's character in the comics that you can go read if you want
to right now, but they might wind up doing that for his character by the end of this
season.
The mission that the boys sent her on though is part of this to get her former squad made
to turn and help her with a compound V is actually right out of the comics to she used
to be part of the super religious thing group called the young Americans drummer boy in
the comics is the person she used to go out with this person is called gecko.
So just a minor change in the comics, but that was all in service of this big twist
they could have this scene of him getting paid to let people hack limbs off even says
to let them chop is junk off if he gives an extra thousand bucks.
I also love this hilarious look on starlight's face like this is gross, but it's not the
worst thing she seen in the last year they said.
The whole cult arc with the deep's character getting bailed out of jail by Eagle who's
obviously a big parity of Hawkeye in the Avengers.
There are a lot of Marvel Avengers Easter eggs throughout the series and during Season
2 the seven are just a Justice league parody, and Homelander sent to be evil Superman, but
there a lot of other Marvel base character parities in the show that he's part of the
church of the collective either willingly or unwillingly maybe he's been brainwashed
to it's hard to tell how much he believes what's going on, but they said that the big
fresco running joke.
So anytime a cult member walks in and introduces themselves.
They keep trying to give you Fresca so fair warning if anybody in real life offers you
a fresco you turn and you run the opposite way.
I don't know which writer it was on the show who declared war on Fresca, but it's actually
hilarious when they go back to the boys that make a reference on the TV about Stillwell's
baby surviving and being found 17 miles away.
So as Homelander really did say that they be just dropped it off while he was taking
butcher to his wife's house.
It is so weird and gross, watching him drink that to milk the way he does.
He's so obsessed with it.
He drinks milk so weird on the show so many different times that you just have to laugh
out loud have a big joke about Ashley kind of catching him doing it to I think she definitely
saw him drinking that to milk they have another big Marvel Easter egg with this daredevil
parity character Homelander just completely turns on a dime to just slapping his ears.
I love how Anthony stars so good at that too, like he seems like he's kind of going along
with things congratulating him, giving him the usual spiel he would do in front of cameras
and completely gives her the business about being the one in charge.
You can inform me on everything that's going on inside corporate and I'm going to do whatever
I want to do that is really last very long to you can see by the end of episode three
Homelander is just ready to just completely blow apart at the seams because he feels like
he's completely lost control the situation.
This is a lot of references during episode one to this Tek Knight movie this getting
ready to come out.
He's basically a version of Batman and Iron Man.
If you're not a big comic book reader.
He's a superhero that is a ton of money but no real superpowers other than the technology
that he uses to fight crime.
He also has a big Batcave to we need more members of the church of the collective as
the deep slowly kind of get sucked in through all the Fresca they make him trip balls and
he starts talking to his gills which are voiced by Patton Oswalt when they announced that
he was going to be a character on the show.
I thought he was edgy to be a real character, but this is way crazier than I ever expected.
Then they introduce Stormfront for the first time played by Aya cash most of you might
recognize her from some other TV show.
She does a lot of comedy stuff.
She's meant to be a character.
This just as bad if not worse than Homelander, but in the first three episodes she's a bit
of a slow burn like the slowly easing you into how crazy she really is until the end
of episode three.
The whole thing with her is that she's actually almost as powerful as Homelander to she's
meant to be this check and balance that Oscar puts on the team as a strategic move to sort
of neutralize Homelander, but even though Homelander seems like he hates her at the
beginning of the season and for most of the episodes like the end of episode three.
It seems like he's getting ready to stare a hole right through her like he wants to
laser the crap out of her Aya cash said that she slowly wins him over, over the course
of the season when she reveals what's really going on and if you see the trailer like the
scene of him lays during her chest and her enjoying it than them getting it on.
Obviously that was not in the first three episodes, so it sounds as though how the confrontation
pretty soon, but everyone present Evan the chat for that deputy director the CIA from
season one the one that had been together with butcher for a while helping them out
to fully explain why her head blew up only that Vought has tabs on pretty much everybody
in a position of power just trying to keep the lid on compound be in the reason why she
died is because she got too close to the secret, but the secret gets out by episode three.
Anyway that they.
The big standoff with Homelander in the CEO sort of telling him what the business is and
giving us a big history lesson about the company Vought to change a couple minor things about
the comics, but for the most part it's a pretty accurate Backstory.
It all started in World War II Germany then through operation paperclip the company in
then compound V came to the United States where they founded Vought American butcher
comes back.
Finally daddy's home and explains to the rest the boys that his wife is still alive and
what is real plan is.
This can be a short movie that will cover the events between season one in season to
about what butcher was up to during that missing.
I think that's going to drop after the finale of Season 2 drops.
They finally reveal where she is when she drops her son offer piano lessons and races
back and we find out that Vought is been keeping her in this giant Jurassic Park looking facility
with a huge fence around it and I love the conversation that she has with the doctor
about what they're going to do about Homelander.
Now that he knows the secret.
I don't if there's anything we can do about it were just kind of hoping he'll get tired
and move on later.
They remind you just how powerful Homelander is when he tells her about that conversation
letting you know that he heard every word.
Even though he was a couple miles away Homelander also kind of gets real with his son for a
moment to look.
He tells the truth.
You know I kind of like you earlier.
I didn't really have a mom or a dad I didn't grow up with that many friends like a couple
brief moments during the episodes where you see him with his son actually enjoying himself
because he so badly wants a family, but he doesn't know how to do that he does not to
be human in Anthony Starr, the actor actually says that Homelander's real kryptonite quote
of quote for making Superman references is actually his humanity because he wants to
be a father to his son.
The father that he never had, but through his actions he almost winds of burning that
bridge because his sons powers finally activate when he threatens butcher's wife get away
from us.
I hate you I don't want to be anything like you that's big because their only a couple
people on the planet that are almost powerful enough to challenge Homelander and his son
would be one of those people Stormfront is almost as powerful as Homelander, but she's
a little bit better at spitting PR which is why she seems like she's more in control some
of the situations which also pieces Homelander off even more.
The set of the whole arc with Kimiko's brother.
He basically got the same compound V treatments from the same group the chemical did is that
she was rescued by the boys and he was not so he's still working for them to have a series
of conversations about what happened to them after they left their village they basically
explain that Homelander destroyed everyone there so there's no way that they could ever
go back even if they wanted to, but also he feels all this remorse for not being able
to protect her because he supposed to be her brother.
He tells the story about how he took the blame for her when she was about to get caught for
stealing they broke his hands, which they pay off at the end of episode three, when
he comes back to rescue her from Stormfront, but she breaks his hands and then kills them.
This is whole butcher versus Hughie thing going on in the first couple of episodes to
wear Hughley just as one of anything to do with butcher and butcher basically tells them
if you get in my way between me and my wife.
This plan all kill you and he is not joking.
The show is not subtle about it at all, but they wanted parallel butcher in Homelander
they're both meant to be psychopaths for the most part of their own way is just a question
of whether or not either will find any kind of redemption by the end of episode three
starlight's plan to leak the news about compound V is out, the world knows about it.
But Giancarlo Esposito's character winds up pinning the whole thing on Stillwell because
she can't say anything about it because she's dead now.
He also kind of pins Volga bomb on it like a small rogue group insider company the speech
the kid to Homelander earlier in the season is actually really good explains their business
really well.
We are a pharmaceutical company in our power is really that no one knows the secret of
superheroes that we make them.
There are no superheroes that are born naturally Homelander's son is one of the first big experiments
in that because he was born naturally.
He does have powers.
So now they know that it's at least possible for superheroes to be born one of the funnier
things though about that compound V reveal is that some of the members of the seven only
learned about it for the first time from the news they didn't know that they were created
superheroes.
They thought that they been born that way.
It was the deep the talked about learning about his powers for the first time when he
was a young child walking to the mall listening to all the goldfish screaming then you see
black noir crying in the hallway early's looks like he's crying underneath his mask their
couple really funny black noir background scenes to.
So he's all over the spectrum there a couple of the big cameos like PJ byrne, you probably
recognize him from a couple of the TV shows.
This is really just the beginning and obvious he there's a lot of stuff that I didn't include
in this video just because there's so much that we could talk about from each episode.
So by episode four video will post next Friday, but if he spotted any big Easter eggs that
I didn't include in the video just write them below in the comments like is that there's
a billion things that they reference during these will do is all talk more about some
of the new characters we get to the more the single episode videos like Stormfront.
There's a bunch of stuff going on with Stormfront that we could talk about where you wait for
everything.
