Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul and I can tell you my love for you
will still be strong after the Boys Season 3 trailers gone.
Thank you I'm here all week and with the new teaser now hitting the internet I thought
I'd breakdown all the easter eggs, hidden details and things you missed.
There will be some spoilers here in regards to the comics so if you don't want anything
ruined then I recommend that you turn off now. With that out the way, you guys are the
real heroes, now let's get into our boys Season 3 breakdown.
Now the biggest takeaway from this teaser is that the bous will taking Compound V themselves
and this also pulls directly from the comics. In order to level the playing field they injected
themselves with the substance to gain powers which they demonstrate at severl points.
The trailer opens with Butcher immediately after he's just taken it and throughout we
watch as he tries to keep this under wraps. You very much get the feeling of rage within
him and he shoots lasers out of his eyes which is very much something that Homelander also
does all the time as well.
During one moment we see him fighting a supes and he kicks the crap out of him which shows
how much it's improved his strength.
He vomits at one point and I'm guessing that this is a side effect of the drug.
The song you hear in the background is Bones by Imagine dragons and this is very much discussing
a new magic within someone which is of course represented by Butchers transformation.
This teaser is very much begins as a character piece in which we see several of the people
in quick shots throughout.
Butcher looking in the mirror is reflected by Homelander who we see doing the same thing.
Whereas the former is in a rundown bathroom, the latter is in a luxury apartment surrounded
by artwork. It's difficult to make out what all of this is but it's all heavily based
around old wars which sort of foreshadows the battles that will be happening in the
show.
Now just in the same way that Butcher now has powers that reflect Homelander we then
get them both followed by Black Noir. In the comics it's revealed that he and Homelander
are a lot closer than you'd think and though I don't wanna spoil one of the big potential
twists, it's important to bear these three people in mind as they're somewhat in a triangle
in which the three are very much tied with one another.
Next we cut to Hughie and whereas the last 3 were in positions of power, he seems very
vulnerable. I'm guessing that he's hiding out after finding out about Victoria who he
ended up working for at the end of Season 2.
Victoria Neuman was revealed to be a Vought plant within the Government last season and
they'd obviously wanna cover this up. Vic is based on the character Vic The Veep who
in the comics was also a vought plant as well.
Unlike the show though, Victor didnt' have any powers and this might help with something
that we'll talk about in just a bit.
Now Vought eventually manipulated events so that he became the President of the United
States and thus they had someone in the white house who could basically greenlight all of
their operations. However his presidency didn't last that long as he was eventually killed
by Homelander in his Superhero uprising.
In the comics they eventually build up to this through Homelander slowly being driven
insane by blackmail material sent to him by Black Noir.
However with Victoria being a supes herself, it's gonna be interesting to see how they
play it. She's definitely someone that could stand up to Homelander and even when he arrived
at the crowd during season 2, you could see her staring at him, ready to pop his head
off. I think that Hughie will of course discover that she's actually a vought plant and this
will get him back in with the boys.
and later on in the teaser he gets his arm broken by Kimiko. Her doing this could be
because he's had a bit of V himself and he will of course need it if the Supes discover
he knows the truth about Vic.

Now whereas the first handful of shots were focused on heads, we next get a focus on hands,
namely the clenching of them. The trailer shows a scene that was dropped online last
month in which Starlight and Homelander talk to the press. She clenches her fist behind
her back because she knows she's lying about what really happened in season 2. Starlight
is well aware of the plane crash and it's cover up but she's keeping the peace so that
the supes war doesn't end up destroying the planet.
Her hand clenching is followed by Mothers Milk and we get more mirroring shots with
Stan Edgar taking his glasses off which is then followed by Frenchy.
Lots of amazing couplings in this between the two sides and it really works well for
the teaser I think.
Now we know that the first episode will be called Payback which is the name of a superhero
team in the comics. Originally they were led by Stormfront and the term payback could also
be used to signify them getting revenge on The Boys for what they did to her and the
Seven.
Another key member of the group was Soldier Boy who will be played by Janson Ackles in
the next Season. He's basically a captain america parody that a super patriot only interested
in proving that America is the best. In the comics there were several characters that
took up the mantle and one that even ended up sleeping with Homelander. It'll be interesting
to see if they go this route but I think most likely that we'll get him facing off against
Homelander as they both vie for control.
At one point we get a wall of superhero misdeeds on Newpapers.This includes Soldier boy who
is referred to as a Fallen soldier. Judging by the end of the trailer it looks like thye're
doing a similar story to captain america where they pretended that he died and then revived
him. He very much seems like he's been kept in status or something and much like stormfront
he's an extremely old character who's retained their Youth through compound v
We see him fighting in the trailer and due to the vignette over the footage that makes
it seem older im guessing this is one of his last missions before he was put in status.
Guy seems off the leash and just going wild so they probably had to put a stop to him.
Now though they need him back after Stormfront was revealed to be a Nazi and it makes sense
that Vought would bring out a World War 2 hero to show they don't have any affiliations
to thenm.
Another article crhonicles the death of Hughie's girlfriend in the first season which pretty
much kickstarted the events that led to everything.
There's also a mention of the Tek Knight in one who is rumoured to be appearing in the
third season. He;s basically Batman with a bit of a weird fetish and he has one of the
funniest deaths in the entire book.
There's a lot of gun cocking and I love how the boys are clearly arming up whilst mothers
milk wears a t shirt that says stop the violence.
From here we cut to what seems like a protest between people wanting peace and the police.
A-train busts up in the middle of it and opens a can of Turbo rush which seems to quieten
thigns down. Now if you don't know, and i'm absolutely dying here, this is riffing ont
he Kendall Jenner pepsi ad in which she did somehtign similar. There was a big protest,
everyone kicking off but she arrived with some pepsi and saved
the day.
This commericalism is mirrored in the pop band that then appears and we see them at
two locations making me think that they do this throughout the season. The stars on their
chest are similar to Captain Americas so it could be riffing on the star spangled man
with a plan.
Ashley and the writer get it on with some of her hair falling out which is coupled by
a shot later on in which she rips it out. Her hair fell out in the second season after
the stress caused by homelander got too much and I'm guessing he rips it off which makes
her panic a bit.
Hughie kisses starlight in public and homelander pushes A-train stomach before threatening
similar to how he did to starlight in Season 2.
At this point we see a body exploding and it is difficult to make out who's doing this.
They have long hair and a red coat but it doesnt actually look like Victoria. Instead
I think it might actually be cindy who you may recall had similar powers to Victoria
in Season 2. We never got a resolution to her story and it makes sense that she'd still
be out there somewhere.
We later see her exploding someones jaw in what I believe is a moment that precedes this
one.
Later on Starlight sees a man exploding and though it might be linked to her, if you slow
down the footage you can actually see a man jumping out of him.
Guy probably done an ant-man and jumped up somones butt and then went back to normal
size which, yeah not a nice way to go.
There's a sign that says Lucky which he isn't, that's not even a joke. Wish I could show
all these exploding scenes but Youtube is really funny about them things and I'm probably
gonna get butchered for playing 4 seconds of imagine dragons so hash tag prayer for
Steven Spoilsberg.
Now
I think Homelander has a homelander dildo at one point which we'll not get into and
we also meet a brand new character in the crimson countess. She's very much a scarlett
witch parody who of course has had a lot of popularity recently with wandavision. Now
whereas The Scarlett Witches powers have sort of transcended into reality warping, the countess
has more of her first level abilities such as the ability to fire things from her hands.
This is usually fire, though in the teaser it does look like Red chaos energy. She was
very much used as a tool of propaganda against the Russians much in the same way that Soldier
boy was used in world War 2.
I don't think they'll go up to the level where shes able to change the world around her but
still there's lots of things they can do with the character and she might even bring her
vibrator to life or something.
Hey Wanda did it.
She's being played by Laurie Holden who was Andrea in the walking dead and I can't wait
to see what she brings to the show.
She destroys a statue of homelander which spills open with guts which, yeah no idea
what's going on there, maybe theres someone inside.
From here we catch the deep and he appears to be looking at an orgy. Later on he has
sex with someone but he's looking at an Octopus whilst doing it whichyeah, bro this trailer
man.
Now we also know that the season will have the events of Herogasm playing out in it show.
This was a limited six issue series in the comics that was basically a sordid sex party
for the supes. Annually theyd throw the event that basically allowed the characters to let
their hair down and have whatever their heart desired. Vought would create a cover story
for the group where they'd say that they'd go offworld to fight intergalactic threats
but they were really just sucking on dem titties.
The Boys ended up infiltrating this and Black Noir actually stuck his thumb up Hughies butt
at one point and he said Good Soldier. This was a reference to the Dark Knight Returns
and I had to read it several times to be like...did he actually do that?
Now from ehre we cut to Homelander landing at a rally. This has banners saying Keep America
Safe and also Gods, Guns and Homelander. In the crowd we can actually see someone wearing
horns and this is clearly a parody on the guy who wore the same thing during the January
6th Insurrection.
Getting very very political and clearly it's a comment on the climate in the US right now
which the boys has never shyed away from.
His son seems angry and i'm glad that he's returning and we even get old homelander milking
a cow which is a nod to how much I'm gonna be milking this show when it comes out.
Now an interesting part comes when we see Frenchy and Kimiko dancing in what seems to
be a musical. I'm guessing that this is a fantasy but it fits the music video asethetic
that this teaser is going for.
Now
as for my thoughts on the trailer I'm really really excited for it and I've loved the two
seasons as well as the animated spin off. There's something just really funny about
the boys and not only goes it do comic book parodies really well it also discusses things
like commercialism, politics and the way the woirld is.
Just bloody tells it like it is and I'm really excited to see the teaser after this new look.
I think Homelander is really gonna go off the edge in it and it's gonna be interesting
to just see a hero unleashed doing whatever they want with their abilities.
I think it's gonna be a great season and I can't wait until it releases in June.
Now obviously I'd love to hear your thoughts on it so make sure you comment below and let
