Welcome back everyone is Charlie this is going to be my video for the boys season 2
teaser that they just released for stormfronts character they explained a
whole bunch of what's going on with the storyline when things are when they pick
up in Episode one there's a bunch of Easter eggs so we'll break it all down
if you're new to my channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos for the
boys season two we're actually going to be getting episodes way sooner than I
thought so we'll just break this down top five style and it is very as
you would expect from the boys starting with number five meet I Akash as
Stormfront from the boys comics one of the worst characters next to Homelander
if not even worse because of her origin story if you've read the boys comic book
they have made some changes to stormfronts backstory in the way they're
using the character in the war between the boys in the seven during season two
does the same way that they changed the comic book plot during season one so no
big surprise that they changed things a little bit Anthony's star the actor who
plays Homelander says that she's basically the grenade that gets thrown
into Homelander world in the world of the seven Homelander says she causes me
so many problems so many different types of problems what are those problems I'll
get into those in a second because some of them are a little bit funnier and
than the others some of them are physical problems like actual fighting
but some of them are much more complicated so number four Homelander
versus stormfront in the war between the boys in the seven what is
her relationship with Homelander in the seven what is her relationship with
Billy butcher in the boys because in the comics stormfront actually spends most
of his comic book story with Billy butcher in the boys that's where you get
most of that you also find out a lot about the team that stormfront leads in
the comics like the seven is the main team like the Justice League or the
Avengers of the world of the boys they're the a-list heroes but there are
other really big superhero teams stormfront leads a team called payback even
though there are a ton of characters and a ton of agendas going on inside the
world of the boys everyone has their own angle that they're trying to play it's
mostly a story about Billy butcher trying to use the boys to tear down the
seven in people's perception of the seven these are superheroes they're
terrible people and even though Billy butcher doesn't have super powers in the
traditional sense his real superpower is actually the way he uses information
against superheroes so he learns all about their weaknesses usually he gets
that information through all kinds of different means through intimidation
through blackmail any way that he can so in the comics Billy butcher tries to use
stormfront against homeland err I don't know if they're necessarily implying
it's going to be exactly like that during season two for the most part stormfront
is meant to be a character that homeland er can't intimidate the way that he
intimidates everyone else everyone is terrified of him we've seen that during
season one because he is the world's most powerful superhero the thing about
stormfront is that she's almost as powerful as him more powerful than Queen
Maeve like they say that within the world of the seven Queen Maeve is also
one of the world's strongest superheroes but she can't fly she doesn't have
nearly as many abilities as home planner is and she's not quite as invulnerable
just to make a Dragon ball Z analogy stormfront is kind of like the Vegeta
of the series just in terms of power scaling so if Homelanderis an evil
version of Goku imagine Stormfront is a more evil version of Vegeta so even
though they might not be at each other's throats
all the time there is this rivalry between the two of them if you haven't
read the comics obviously all the superheroes are meant to be parodies of
traditional DC Comics and Marvel Comics superheroes Stormfront is meant to be a
parody of Thor in Shazam she can fly she has Lightning based powers like she can
literally spit lightning out of her mouth the way the actors are describing
stormfronts storyline when things pick up during season 2 episode 1 is that
she's thrown into the mix into the 7 and she becomes this Chernobyl for them
causing them to melt down starting with homeland ur number 3 stormfronts
costume and all the big comic book changes they made in a bunch of Easter
eggs that you're probably spotting here this is what stormfronts costume looks
like in the comics so obviously this is the modern version of that because in
the comics stormfront is actually one of the original if not the original
superhero created by Vaught during World War two they didn't really get into it
during season one of the TV series but you have this line of superheroes
originating from all these German experiments during World War Two from
the Third Reich and that's basically where Vaught developed the technology
for creating superheroes and compound B so after World War 2 Opera
and paperclip happened and you have all these German scientists including Vogel
BOM who created compound B coming to the United States taking on new identities
and that's when they created bought American and started their modern
incarnation when they created Homelander based on all the technology that
they use developing Stormfront so even though there's no biological
relationship between these two characters stormfront was kind of like
the beta version of Homelander so notice all the paraphernalia
mixed with the American flag armbands is a little bit similar to what's going on
with home lenders character but in a much more overt way and obviously
referencing the comic book version of the character so it's not like she's
going to be going full-blown or anything like that the way this reads to
me is this should be something of a supremacist the actors also call
stormfronts character very old-fashioned in her beliefs but very
modern in her practices I'll explain what that modern means in a second
Anthony star who plays Homelander says that stormfront on the TV show isn't
quite into the celebrity culture and fanfare that the seven are in the way he
describes Homelander versus stormfront is this also the social media public
perception aspect to it because it's all about the way the public perceives the
seven and apparently homeland is just terrible at social media he has all
these other people running their accounts remember what happened to
butcher's wife during season one I know everyone's still wondering did she
willingly sleep with him what was going on with all that are they going to
explain it during season two remember that she was initially hired by bot to
handle all the social media in marketing for Homelander so because there's
something of a competition going on between Homelander and stormfront it
sounds like stormfront is also going to be using a lot of social media in public
perception to twist up Homelander in a way that he can't fight with his fists
they get into it in the comics a little bit more but the whole point of Vaud
american creating super heroes in the first place is purely to earn money in
order to do that they create all this merchandise they create comic books
based on fake backstories they create movies like all the fake movies that
black noir is starring in with Seth Rogen's director character all of that
is part of a giant propaganda merchandising machine for the purposes
of earning more money so while homelander is the world's most powerful
superhero physically he could kill everyone on the planet if
he wanted to he doesn't want to do that he wants a family he wants everyone's
love and admiration which is why that's a huge weakness for him so obviously
stormfront is going to be using those weaknesses against him during season two
number two stormfronts powers so she's almost as invulnerable as Homelander
she can fly just like Homelander but she can also give off lightning so
if you saw this Shazam movie if you saw any Marvel movie with Thor in it it's
basically like that the way the actors the producers talk about stormfront
versus homeander during season two is that she knows how to play him and will
do everything she can to avoid a one-on-one fight with him knowing that
she would probably lose so a lot of the things that she'll be doing will be more
sinister in addition to the traditional comic book fair obviously she has cool
powers she's super strong so you're going to see her beat the crap out of a
bunch of people think about it this way though they're both Psychopaths she's
just a slightly different type of psychopath than Homelander but number
one one of the episodes coming out when's the next big trailer going to
drop in what's going on with the boys season 3 so the good news is it sounds
like they've already soft renewed the boys for season 3 Karl Urban said that
he wasn't taking on a lot of other giant film projects because he was so
committed quote-unquote to the boys meaning that he would be busy filming
the boys season 3 later this year they'll be screening the first 10
minutes or so of the boys season 2 episode 1 this Sunday but I think that's
going to be a private event I don't know if they're going to drop all 10 minutes of
that online whatever they wind up releasing I will totally do a video for
but it's supposed to be the first 10 minutes of season 2 episode 1 they said
that because season 1 was so popular they gave them a giant budget for season
2 so there's going to be way more characters way more craziness way more
big battles Karl Urban also revealed that the season 2 episode 1 release date
was going to be somewhere around the middle of the summer but they could move
that up because of all the Disney Plus Falcon and Winter Soldier stuff is going to
be dropping later this summer so they might want to try and avoid that so good
news is we might get season 2 episode 1 even earlier than July but everyone let
me know in the comments if you have any big questions about the boys season 2
what's going on of course I'll do more bonus videos when they drop new footage
or a new big details it's going to be crazy in the best possible way whisper old
season 3 episode 1 is also starting on Sunday night I'll be 2
weekly videos for that so as long as you have alerts enabled for my channel you
should see all those videos when I post them every one click here for that brand
new black widow trailer with all the new taskmaster Avengers scenes and click
here for that new boys season 2 trailer video thank you so much for watching
