Welcome back everyone it's charlie big surprise the boys dropped a season three
teaser for jensen ackle's character he dropped a video this morning
announcing that he's going to be playing the original
soldier boy during the boys season 3. he's a big parody of captain america the
first avenger from the marvel movies in the comics
the boy's official accounts confirmed the news after so i'll explain
what's going on with his character and i'll talk about the other big marvel
easter egg that we just got sean ashmore from the x-men movies who
played iceman is going to be playing lamplighter during season two we know
more about what's going on with his story so i'll explain the jensen ackles
stuff first then i'll talk about lamplighter
if you're wondering why jensen ackles is coming to the boys the showrunner on the
boys also ran supernatural for a while so
that's the connection jeffrey dean morgan who played his
father on supernatural and has been in a bunch of other big comic book movies
is going to be starring during season 3 as well as a mystery character they
haven't revealed yet we already have bobby from supernatural
in that opening scene from season 2 talking to giancarlo esposito so there's
just a lot of supernatural people coming to the boys the message that the
showrunner tweeted out so that he'd be playing the original superhero and make
some jokes about his sole purpose in life being to create new jobs for jensen
ackles but that just implies that he's going to be playing the original
version of soldier boy captain america we also have some pictures of him
from the set of season two so there'll be some soldier boy stuff happening
during season two if you're a big boys comic book fan
the boys series changes a lot about the comic book backstories of the characters
so i'll try to explain how they might be changing his comic book backstory
because they're kind of combining some things from a couple different
characters the new version of stormfront played by
aya cash during season two is just the latest example that big
changes to her backstory from the comics completely different character so i'll
try to explain as we go along because it sounds like they're giving
some of the stormfront comic book backstory to jensen ackle's character
but this picture of the monument is of jensen ackle's character from the boys
season two this scene is from that big rally moment that homelander and
stormfront are having from the trailer with the seven and all the protesters
this is early in the season when they're still trying to drum up support for
their plan to get superheroes in the military and you have homelander going a
little bit nuts it seems like he lasers some of these soldiers in front he's
just going to be lasering everybody left and right during season 2.
the monument of jensen apple's character makes it seem like he's dressed in world
war ii gear i don't know what kind of gun he's holding here
but you can see some of the comic booky parts of his costume like he has the
radiation symbol belt buckle in the comics there are a couple
different versions of the character there's one from world war
ii from a long time ago and then there's another version of soldier boy in
present day that gets involved in the hero gasm in a bunch of really wtf crazy
stuff both of them have really wtf crazy
backstories it's just the one in present day
is way crazier than the one in the past but the version of the character that
jensen ackles is playing from way way back in world war
ii is just like the modern superheroes so one of the big themes of the boys if
you haven't noticed already is that all the people who have been
given powers through compound v by vaude american are actually really
terrible at being superheroes most of them don't know how to use their
abilities most of them don't know how to work on a team together
they make that huge joke about collateral damage during the opening
scene from season two episode one i'll add a link for that video at the
end of this but it's basically them talking about
thirty percent collateral damage to any city that superheroes vot
sends it's the exact same situation with jensen ackel's character back during
world war ii they create him to be the superhero
as part of their version of the captain america super soldier program sort of a
prototype for modern day bought american superheroes but he's a
terrible superhero he doesn't know how to use his super powers
and he leads a team during world war ii called quote-unquote the avenging squad
guess what that's a parody of technically even though it sounds like
it's meant to be marvel avengers obviously
it's also kind of inspired by captain america's invaders team that he had
during world war ii but soldier boy as you can guess was
part of some of the earliest experiments the united states had
trying to create their own version of a superhero so you were talking about
captain america first avenger easter eggs here
but way back during world war ii soldier boy was so
incompetent as a soldier that he got his whole team killed
one of his squad mates that managed to survive was mallory
that's actually played by this woman on the tv show so just a couple comic book
changes here in the original story what happened
though is that soldier boy lay half dead screaming for help malory sees him and
hates him so much for being so incompetent in getting all of their
buddies killed that he himself kills him with a grenade
and then goes on to create the boys with butcher later
i know i said that iceman from the x-men movies is going to be playing
lamplighter during season two there's actually a connection between
mallory and lamplighter in butcher that i'll explain in a second too
what the tv show is probably going to do with jensen echols character though is
they're just going to say that he's the original prototype
for homelanders i can't wait to see what they do with jensen ackles i'm assuming
most of his scenes will probably be flashbacks or there'll be newsreel
footage or something like that moving into x-men iceman lamplighter
territory so they just announced sean ashmore most of you know him as iceman
from the x-men movies is going to be playing lamplighter
he actually joked about not being done playing comic book superheroes
now he's going to be in the season 2 episodes jensen ackles won't show up to
the season 3 episodes if you remember season 1 lamplighter
actually used to be a member of the seven he was kicked out before the
events of season one remember when starlight joined the seven
in the first few episodes of season one she was actually replacing lamplighter
on the team it was all part of a big vaude american conspiracy
the cover story that they put out was that lamplighter was quote unquote
retiring what actually happened is is the
lamplighter found out that mallory this woman here was coming for the seven
investigating them so in order to protect the team
lamplighter goes rogue burns and kills all of her grandchildren it's super
crazy wtf and it was such a huge cover-up that
vaught's only way to avoid open retaliation from the u.s government
was to vanish lamplighter from public view so
they cast him aside and that's when mallory helps butcher
found the boys on the tv show so that's the connection between all the
characters and sean ashmore's lamplighter actually does have some
scenes in the season 2 trailer so there's a picture of him here that
they tweeted out with the lighter this is inside the sevens main meeting room
because you can see the big mural behind them
in the season two trailer footage you see this giant fireball explosion
in this room during a big fight scene that's what this is from
some huge fight scene where it seems like maybe lamplighter is helping the
boys out because you also see starlight over here
in the middle of this knockdown drag out fight with black noir like you see him
pounding her head into the table and then she blasts him up into the ceiling
with her abilities so maybe butcher has been able to turn
lamplighter against the seven and use his abilities to try and infiltrate
vaude i will be doing episode videos for all

channel you should see those when they post
