The Boys on Amazon Prime
Flashback time!
We get to see the 8 years ago at Christmas time, and we see Butcher and his wife at Vought, she actually works at the company and Butcher meets Homelander face to face. She was actually handling his marketing and Twitter account.
So many pieces fitting in, and we know that Homelander has seen images from the team now, from Mesmer. Grimey little Mesmer has sold them all out in hopes for a better hero future. Will he get it, the answer is probably no, and stuff like this always has it’s shit coming around.
Hughie and Starlight appear to be…moving along, but Butcher is totally following them and is Hughie even aware anymore? Is it all a played game, and poor Starlight is just in it for the long, fake haul.
The poor Deep, let’s be honest, he brought this on himself, I mean they kind of all did, but we never see him out of his costume, even when he’s home, why? Like seriously, the heroes that stay out of costume when alone? Well at least one of them shows the reason why, well at least part of the reason why it’s always dressed at least.
I love how Homelander lectures everyone about their recent behaviour, and then he decides to leak one of the photos to the group. He flags it to the group and sadly Starlight takes the brunt of the fall. But Homelander is putting all the pieces together, and is making everyone remember the faces they’ve seen.
I love Maeve! Just comes out swinging and stands up for once in her life, honestly it may end in her death. Anytime you try to to take a stand, it just ends in your death.
The closer I get to the end, the less I want to reveal, it’s just so good. Hughie’s cover is blow, Frenchie and Kumiko are playing house, and does Mother’s Milk even work anymore? How do these people pay for bills and food and everything?
They are all finding out that they’re burned, just all about to die, or worse.
COMIC CON EDITION 2016! LOVE IT, ugh, I have so many of those. Yeah, I’m super fan 99.
Holy shit, A-Train finally gives a good compelling speech, just finally, he had almost nothing worth saying the entire season and you think it’s because he’s a shit character, but he just played a REALLY excellent pawn.
Homelander is grilling Stillwell about what happened with Becca Butcher, since she just disappeared. Stillwell is oddly distracted when talking about her, was it a mess she cleaned up and took too far, just like Homelander did with Popclaw? Turns out that statement is half true.
Mesmer pays the price of his actions, and we have so many flashbacks of Butcher and his past that haunts him, including how he even found out about his wife. She says she CIA, but Butcher said the same thing, is this just everyone lying about the agency they work with. OMG, she’s the Mallory that they talked about, the one that took the hit last time they tried to bring the Supes down…and this explains why he feels he can go to the CIA about Vought.
Everything the Deep touches literally turns to crap when he’s trying to do the right thing, and you feel almost bad for him cause if that’s all he gets when he tries to be good?
Since everyone is burnt, they’re all a bit cramped together in the hideout with all the families.
**SUPER GIANT SPOILERS COMING UP**
Dr. Vogelbam, apparently the guy that raised Homelander in a lab, because he was the missing key, Becca Butcher was pregnant, from Homelander’s moment with her.
The baby clawed his way out, and killed Becca Butcher, and then died moments later, but is that true? Money says the kid lived, and possibly Becca as well.
The doctor is feeling guilt for how Homelander was raised and believe it’s the reason why he’s so violent.
At least he’s blunt, and honest, about all the awful things he did and how he believes that Homelander was an error. Big giant red X.
The Boys are finally working with the CIA, the families get protection and Vought is brought to light. They present Vought with their “options” and then they see a super villain in the flesh, well it may make some things difficult.
The Female wasn’t the only one out there as their reasoning for extreme measures.
Well Hughie is finally open with Annie, about Compound V, and what Vought has been doing. Life lesson, right after a girl finds out you’ve been using her (kind of while falling for her), don’t also tell her that she wasn’t special, that she’s corporate made.
Life lesson right there.
