1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:07,040 Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another episode of the geek Verse podcast. 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,240 I am your host, Taylor, and today we are continuing our spoilers 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,279 in depth review of The Boys season four. Now, of course I might 4 00:00:15,359 --> 00:00:20,440 be wondering where's Travis Well in light of a recent video that he had posted, 5 00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:24,519 I had to take legal action. My lawyers finally came to the aid 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,440 that I find I needed them to help me. Finally they let them. 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,600 They've been slacking so bad. It's been absolutely horrendous, the quality of service 8 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,280 they've been providing, and just the fact that Travis has been able to just 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,119 spread all this distant misinformation online. It's been horrible. And so the final 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,320 straw was this video. That was the that was the kicker, And so 11 00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:46,079 the lawyers came down hard removed him from being on the review this week because 12 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:51,280 this is just absolutely horrible. It's it's unjustified, it's it's terrible, terrible, 13 00:00:51,359 --> 00:00:55,200 terrible, terrible. So he's not here and we'll see maybe he might, 14 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,640 he might fight back. While he's going to fight back, he might 15 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,960 be back next week, who knows. But for now, I'm running the 16 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,079 show. I'm running things right now here Today tonight. This is geek Verse 17 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,000 podcast.

But there's always just something nice that's dropping on there, 30 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,000 like our exclusive Patreon shows, like our originals, and we have bread and 31 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,239 at our topics as well. I get confused which one is which that drops 32 00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:07,079 on our public feeds, but one of them drops exclusively on our Patreon and 33 00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:08,400 then you can get a ton of other stuff as well.

I can't remember off of my head 40 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:42,360 the official dates, but it is the beginning of August and it's gonna be 41 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,919 a good time. Basically, it's you can look at us kind of like 42 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,800 a Patreon event of source, because if we get newer Patreon subscribers, this 43 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,520 nine hour event is going to continue, and we're gonna be adding more hours 44 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,400 to it the more subscriptions that we get, and so we're gonna be sliding 45 00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:00,800 a whole bunch of stuff. There's a again, there's supposed to be something 46 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,400 going on between me and Travis, but we'll see if the lawyers keep it 47 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:05,879 at Bay. We got a whole bunch of other things going on, like 48 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,759 Geek Versus Trivia twenty twelve, Golden Geeks. There's so much content that's gonna 49 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:14,039 be dropping. It's gonna be an absolute good time, so you'll definitely want 50 00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:17,520 to be checking that out. What else do we got going on? A 51 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,360 lot of movies that have been popping off here. We got Long Legs. 52 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,360 I think me and Travis are gonna try and do a review for that. 53 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,159 We have Maxine, although me and Travis are seeing it later. I don't 54 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,360 think we're gonna review it. We might just talk about it on newscast and 55 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:35,400 just in retrospect, give our thoughts. And what else do we got we 56 00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:38,479 got? This is the month Wolverine, Deadpool, We're coming around. It's 57 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,719 gonna be here soon, so you can expect that review. And yeah, 58 00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:45,400 I guess we've got Ailien Rodmulus and a bunch of other stuff as well. 59 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,080 I guess that's another thing. Actually, we're doing a retro for Logan and 60 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,400 a couple of X Men related things, So there's just tons of stuff. 61 00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:58,280 It's wonderful. But that's four minutes of your time, me just rambling on 62 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,439 now, And you guys want to ye about The Boys episode six. So 63 00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:05,080 we're going to get into our non spoilers thoughts first and then we will deep 64 00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:11,639 dive into our spoilers thoughts after. So this episode, man, I stayed 65 00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:15,000 up till midnight I was watching it, and this was just an absolute delight 66 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,040 to this show. In parton me, if I'm probably extremely biased, I 67 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:23,600 love this show. This show just it cracks me up, and it has 68 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:30,240 certain keynotes of innocent humor that really just land for me. And that's the 69 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,319 way the cast members react to these different scenarios and the scenarios that just happened, 70 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:40,000 like it's just such a realistic situation in this world that they've created. 71 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,759 And I think it's that sense of realism and the seriousness of how these characters 72 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,199 respawn is just what really cracks me up. And these different circumstances. And 73 00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:54,920 this episode had just such an outrageous situation that really it blew my mind. 74 00:04:54,959 --> 00:05:00,920 It was it was hilarious. But I think how things progress in this episode, 75 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,120 we got an interesting moment with one of our characters, and to me, 76 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,240 I felt like if there was ever a turning point or a potential moment 77 00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:13,920 to kind of sway said character over this could have been that time, but 78 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,879 due to certain actions of another character, it just was reinforced and cemented this 79 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:27,199 character's position in this certain narrative with their surrounding members. So there's that, 80 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,519 you have the interesting stuff that kind of again happens with Homelander and just the 81 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,920 characters that he surrounded himself with. That was very interesting, and you get 82 00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:39,600 a little bit more of the backstory on the overall kind of goal and plot 83 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,600 for what the certain certain members were trying to do. There was one good 84 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:48,040 revelation here and if you well, I won't say that that's a spoiler, 85 00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:54,519 but it's a Travis told you, so I'll leave it at that. Other 86 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,759 than that, we got some very very fun, like I said, humorous 87 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,759 moments too. I I just think this episode was absolutely just a step up 88 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,519 from where we've been so far, and it just felt silly and ridiculous, 89 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,720 and I like that. There's not really any filler episodes. Well, some 90 00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:13,040 of the stuff is filler. It's filler in the sense where it's progressing the 91 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,560 narrative, but in this case, in this episode that we got to it 92 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,519 just feels like we're we're on a little bit of a side adventure, but 93 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:24,240 it's not really a side adventure because it is also progressing in a narrative. 94 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,959 But I just I like these small little objectives and missions like Okay, today, 95 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,920 the Boy's got to go do this. It's like, Okay, we're 96 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:32,600 gonna go and enjoy an hour long adventure of what the boys are up to, 97 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,240 and then just shit hits the fan, all help breaks loose, and 98 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,920 it just totally doesn't go their way. And I love that. Every single 99 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,000 week this is just this is a highlight, and I really enjoy my my 100 00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:48,680 Thursdays when I get to sit back and indulge in a little bit of the 101 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,480 Boys because the episodes don't disappoint. They really really don't. And so I 102 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,399 really want to go ahead and rewatch this because I think it's it just cracks 103 00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:02,000 me up. Oh my goodness. A lot of familiar faces too, again 104 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,319 for looking at gen V. I guess one particular familiar face from gen V 105 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,759 which was interesting nonetheless, but yeah, it was just there's just some interesting 106 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,399 stuff that happens with their characters, and it's not much else I can say 107 00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:21,920 that's non spoilers because it'll just be spoilers. So we're going to call it 108 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,319 their end of the review that I'm just kidding our first ad break and then 109 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,800 we'll be getting into spoilers right after that. And we are back. So 110 00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:36,879 where do we start here? I guess we get the boys spider Man officially 111 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:44,959 introduced, and they can't label it any harder of a Spider Man than just 112 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,920 the safe words and they so we got web Weaver and his introduction was just, 113 00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:54,680 oh my gosh, what the heck? And then just had to go 114 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,079 in there and like shoot these drugs up his backside, back end, and 115 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,800 then got some web put on his cheek and just say, oh, his 116 00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:07,079 apartments webbed everywhere, Oh my goodness. Basically, there's a secret meeting going 117 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,120 on and a train let the boys know that this meeting was taking place. 118 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,600 Hey, you're gonna want to get in there. It's at tech Knight's house 119 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,879 and tech Night was from gen V And so the plan is Hueye is going 120 00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:24,600 to wear Webweaver's costume and basically sneak in there because web wea we was somehow 121 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,519 invited by tech Knight to come to the party. Now, the reason he 122 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,000 was invited is, Huey slowly begins to learn is that oh, he's here 123 00:08:31,039 --> 00:08:37,039 to be his sidekick, and not in a heroic sense, more so a 124 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:43,480 I need to fuck your whole sort of sets and just led to this crazy, 125 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,240 crazy thing where he goes into the basement dungeon of Tech Knight, and 126 00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:56,799 Ashley ends up going down there and has a very vigorous experience tickling Huey's feet 127 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,039 is Huey is still at full in costume and gets this hue gets like like 128 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,240 saddled and strapped into this this bench thing and they're just like teasing him and 129 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,679 tickling him, and he's just he doesn't know the safe for it, so 130 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:16,480 he's just spouting out like oh Torrentula like different things. It just absolutely cracks 131 00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:20,919 me up, just the bockle that he's in, and it escalates quite heavily 132 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,159 too, because originally he's he's in there and he's not supposed to see the 133 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,120 seven, but the seven is there, which is not great. And so 134 00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:31,320 he's got MM on the outside, he's got chemico and he's got starlight on 135 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,480 the outside too, So they're all basically keeping tabs on him as he's supposed 136 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:39,440 to get in plant the bugs and get out and derails obviously when Tech Night's 137 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,399 like, hey, let's go to my dungeons. He Hue follows along with 138 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,879 him, but that whole dungeon sequence, he just it's absolutely bonkers. It's 139 00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:50,799 some crazy shit, and I could not stop laughing at just how Hue was 140 00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:54,639 handling it. And this is the fallout too, of how he's dealing with 141 00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:01,559 his dad dying and now he's in this freaking dungeon, just being uh dominated 142 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,559 and having to sit on a cake and fart on it just to appease tech 143 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:11,440 Night as he's like choking himself. It's just some crazy shit. Oh my 144 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:16,879 goodness, absolutely bonkers. But the real thing you're going on with this party 145 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:22,360 is that you have a lot of political I guess powers where Homelanders trying to 146 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,039 appeal to them. He wants to get them on his side, and a 147 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:33,799 lot of these guys are very much living in radical and ancient mindsets, and 148 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,039 so when Homelanders kind of prescribing to them like hey, this is what we 149 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:45,440 need to do this that they're they're not totally sold on it. And I 150 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:52,840 think when he's trying to lean on Sister Sage, it's interesting because again that 151 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,639 kind of falls to the sidelines because Sister Sage gets brain damage, and so 152 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,320 she can't technically help him in this sense, which it works out because there's 153 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,759 a whole bunch of stuff here that it could backfire, like a tran could 154 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:07,919 have been caught as the bad guy here. There's so many things that go 155 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,279 sideways here, and so that bites Homeliner in the bite. This Homeliner is 156 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:16,000 trying to pitch to our radical political powers here that hey, we need to 157 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,279 do this and this and this, and so they're basically counteracting and saying, 158 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,120 well, if I'm being Devil's advocate, what are you gonna do about this 159 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:26,360 party of people and this and that and that, And so it ends up 160 00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:31,960 really kind of wearing him down. I guess you could say, you get 161 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:37,440 to see him be emotionally compromised in this sense. And so he's he's turning 162 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:43,480 to Sister stage. But Sister Sage was briefly caught by MM and Starlight and 163 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,840 Chemico and MM ends up shooting her in the head, and so that leads 164 00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:50,919 to brain damage. And we've seen that she does that to herself just to 165 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,200 kind of let off steam, and so she immediately turns and she's just this 166 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:03,279 basic person who is just talking ridiculous and not not anywhere near the intelligence intelligence 167 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:07,720 that Homelighter needed at this time. And I think it's just it was funny 168 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:18,080 because you see now what what his his his reaction to Sister stage, because 169 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,120 no one has seen this except for the deep and I thought that maybe it 170 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,399 would be a little bit more of a progressive thing, or it would just 171 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,759 kind of open up and or people would figure it out as like a weakness. 172 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,840 But I think that it just he doesn't know exactly what is going on 173 00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:33,480 here because she got shot in the head and he sees that, but he 174 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,440 doesn't know exactly what's going on, and you don't. He doesn't know until 175 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:45,759 later when Firecracker or fire Starter, I don't know fire Lamplighter. I'm getting 176 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,200 Lamplighter confused with h with them. It's Firecracker, I believe, Yes, 177 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:58,720 so many fires Lamplighters and all that. So Firecracker is basically dealing with Starlight 178 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,720 in this in this tech Knight's house. And that's where I was alluding to 179 00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:09,559 in the non spoilers where it felt briefly, briefly like Firecracker could have turned 180 00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:16,480 over maybe if Starlight had been more sincere and not like drugged her and knocked 181 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:22,399 her out unconscious and then escaped because she really genuinely seemed like she was listening 182 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,440 to what Starlight was saying, So that would have been an advantage to them 183 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,519 if they were able to kind of reel her in, because she's already feeling 184 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,799 exiled from Sister Sage and Homelander and a few other characters too, so she's 185 00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:41,279 feeling alone and that's something that again it's not that you want to take advantage 186 00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,480 of it, but it's something that could have tipped the scales over towards the 187 00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:50,679 boys over towards Starlight, because I think Firecracker would have leaned towards that reconciliation 188 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:54,600 that they had there briefly, but of course Starlight kind of side railed that 189 00:13:54,759 --> 00:14:01,600 when she drugged her and basically left her out there. That comes back into 190 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,960 the fold at the end of the episode when Homelander is just like what happened 191 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:13,120 to everyone and he's in his suite and Firecracker basically confronts him, lets him 192 00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:15,960 know like, oh, you basically made me who I am. I owe 193 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:22,480 you everything. He's accusing her of being the spy because when Firecracker tells him 194 00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:28,639 that tech Night's dead, Starlight escaped all this stuff. He's thinking, Okay, 195 00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:31,200 well you let Starlight escape, then how do I know you're not the 196 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,000 spy? And so that's when she confides in him, tells him everything, 197 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,600 YadA, YadA, YadA, and he believes her. And the final kicker 198 00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:41,720 here is that this is something Travis pointed out to me a couple episodes ago, 199 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,519 was that in her trailer there are some drugs that helped produce, like 200 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,480 breast milk and whatnot, and she was taking these drugs. And so when 201 00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:54,960 she's confiding and telling Homelander everything that she would do everything for him, she 202 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:58,279 pulls her shirt down and just squirts the load right onto him and he's just 203 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:05,200 like flabbergasted and like can't barely process it, and it's like head over heels, 204 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,120 like oh my god. And then you get this scene where he's just 205 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,720 curled up and yeah, just going to town feeding away and he's just so 206 00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:22,039 on cloud nine. So it's going to be really interesting to see how that 207 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:28,919 dynamic is going to progress, especially becomes Firecracker now holds a significant amount of 208 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,399 power over Homelander, and originally Travis hid Pitchell maybe this is something that Sister 209 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,360 Sage and Firecracker are doing to get the edge over Homelander. But it seems 210 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,159 like Sister Sage and Firecracker are very much opposite ends here and not on the 211 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,600 same team. So this is definitely how Homelander gets into the team and the 212 00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:54,720 court of Firecracker. Sister Sage definitely botched her her position here when she was 213 00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:58,399 supposed to help, but Victoria Newman ended up helping Homelander in this meeting, 214 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,320 so Sister Stage really ruined that for herself. Of course, it wasn't her 215 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,000 fault. She got shot in the head and that well warranted her to be 216 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,000 a little bit a little not all there. So that's that and that's where 217 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,440 things concluded. We learned from this meeting as Victoria Newman is standing up for 218 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,960 Homelander and they're trying to appeal to all these political powers that they want to 219 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:25,159 use tech Night's resources and his prisons and turn them into concentration camps. For 220 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:30,240 I guess the people that are basically resistant, people that aren't necessarily listening to 221 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,919 this new power shift. So we can see where their homelanders trying to turn 222 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:45,519 the United States into like this totalitarian dictatorship of a country. So that's an 223 00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:48,879 interesting thing in itself to see how that's going to progress and how that's going 224 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:55,159 to turn into the next few episodes, and I guess the final season as 225 00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,159 well. So after all that, yeah, hue gets saved. We learned 226 00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:04,359 that tech Night gets he wants to put some holes into Hueie and and fuck 227 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,799 the holes. And tech Knight gets caught though, and so Kimiko is trying 228 00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:11,079 to torture him by stabbing him. He's like, oh, yeah, fucking 229 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,720 do it. Stabs just not working. So how do they actually upset him? 230 00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:21,200 They log into his laptop and do his bank account, start donating money 231 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,160 to like Black Lives Matter and all these different things, and he's freaking out 232 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,319 like no, no, like that's that's not what he wants. So his 233 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,920 butler, who raised him since he was a little boy, ends up choking 234 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,680 out Tech Night, killing him, and then that's when you learn Huey learns 235 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,839 the safe word is Indya. So Web Weaver is absolutely the Spider Man of 236 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:45,960 the Boys. And I guess Indya just like Will Ferrell is Cannon in uh 237 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:51,240 in this universe. So there you go. Everything we we were just so 238 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,160 freaking funny. It was absolutely hilarious. What else do we have in this 239 00:17:56,279 --> 00:18:00,039 episode? We have a moment here in the mansion of Tech night where and 240 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,920 then it was after he shoots sister stage in the head and he starts to 241 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,000 have like heart attack, panic attack, actually passes out on the ground, 242 00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:08,000 so they need to get him out of there. They call a train. 243 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,200 A train shows up real quick, like, okay, reluctantly, I'll take 244 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,319 you to a hospital, takes him them to the hospital. And as he 245 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,119 gets to the hospital and puts him of them on a bench, there's a 246 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,640 little kid there. A little kid looks up and just smiles at him, 247 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,920 and a train smiles and then and leaves. I love that so much. 248 00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:30,640 It felt like a real just a good moment for a character developing, and 249 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,000 I feel like something's gonna happen, a train's gonna die. But I like 250 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:36,880 that a train is actually officially helping the boys now, and I like that 251 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,680 a train had that moment with that kid. There's the oh, what was 252 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:47,839 it called The Boys? Will Ferrell and a trained movie that they're doing. 253 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:59,559 Gosh, was it called the Making Making a Train? Why can't I remember 254 00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:04,920 what it's called? Well, Anyways, it's the previous few episodes you get 255 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,480 to see that they're working on this movie a Train and Will Ferrell together, 256 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:14,799 and it's just kind of like the story of a train becoming the hero or 257 00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:18,759 something like that. And I feel like this season has been that where a 258 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,240 train is becoming the hero. And this was just a real big step for 259 00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:26,759 our character to do something like this that was just down to earth and simple, 260 00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:30,079 but it meant everything that little kid, and he's trying to do better 261 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,079 for his family as well and just try to appear like he is an actual 262 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,599 hero. And so I like that. I like what he's aspiring to be. 263 00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,720 So I think there's some good stuff to come from that character. As 264 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,039 far as other seven members go, Black Noir is just out. He doesn't 265 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:49,039 want to be Black Noir anymore. He's got his mask off so he can 266 00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,759 see what looks like and he's just he doesn't understand the character and he's a 267 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:56,400 wants to take a new gig. And then we got the Deep, who 268 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,200 is just trying to act like he's top, but he's not because he was 269 00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:07,319 left behind with Black Nor at the Tower, so Homelander does not need him. 270 00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:11,039 But their dialogue was pretty funny. I enjoyed it. What else do 271 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:22,039 we got in this episode? I better check my notes here. So Starlight 272 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:30,319 could have made favorite with Firecracker, Ashley Dungeon, web Weaver, Spiderman Sea, 273 00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,480 So I think I got all of that. The only other big kicker 274 00:20:33,559 --> 00:20:42,480 would be Butcher. So he has Victoria Newman's former hobby. Basically, we 275 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,400 saw that he got the leg off. He's keeping him hostage and wants him 276 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:53,200 to develop a supervirus from what the Sheep's head basically was that could target and 277 00:20:53,279 --> 00:21:03,240 kill soups. Now you have this dilemma here because it unfolds that what this 278 00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:07,799 doctor could create and why they stopped researching this virus was that if they needed 279 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,480 to get something strong enough to actually kill Homelander, they would have to make 280 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,920 something that would just be so potent it would be airborne, and on top 281 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,680 of that, it would basically spread and kill every soup on the planet. 282 00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:25,480 So that means a chemical in Starlight like his not his real son, but 283 00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:34,000 Ryan would also die. It would be so so terrible. So there's that, 284 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,839 and then you have Jeffrey Deane Morgan's character as well, And the whole 285 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,240 thing with that is he's egged on Butcher to try and go through with this. 286 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,240 You have Butcher's former wife who's appearing there, and you get this flash 287 00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:52,000 realization that oh my god, Jefferdine Morgan actually sezes his wife and how does 288 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:55,720 that possible? And then it goes through all the cut scenes of the fact 289 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,599 that this was a real character, but he's he died and he's just part 290 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:06,640 of Butcher's imagination now. And this is exactly what Travis called. So kudos 291 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,720 to you, Travis for landing this this prediction prediction. I think that was 292 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,480 pretty fantastic. They laid it on hard in this episode, and I was 293 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:15,799 when I was actively looking and watching it, I was like, Okay, 294 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:18,720 this is pretty apparent. You can see how Butcher is reacting to jeffreydine Morgan's 295 00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:23,160 character as opposed to the doctor, and how the doctor's reacting to uh, 296 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:27,480 to Butcher. So it really really well done, and I thought that was 297 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:32,440 that was an interesting revelation, just the fact that Butcher is just becoming more 298 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,880 and more unhealthy and it's not not looking good for him. Frenchie is still 299 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,640 in jail, he was not in this episode, but he is actively avoiding 300 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,759 any visitors of Kimmico is still going to the police station to try and see 301 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:47,240 him, but nothing is coming out of that. But yeah, I think 302 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,519 I think that is pretty much everything in a nutshell. We have some transfers 303 00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:56,359 of power, So Sister Stage is losing some of her power obviously because we 304 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:02,359 have Firecracker proving to be more valuable and dominant to Homelander at this point. 305 00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:07,000 We have Victoria Newman who had to make some really shitty alliances with these political 306 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,400 radical old idiots, and tech Night's house. Tech Night is now dead. 307 00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:18,599 And yeah, we have just a few interesting new developments. So it'll be 308 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,279 very interesting to see what happens in next week's episode. I guess next week 309 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,400 would be as Travis, It's the penultimate episode, so it'll be very cool 310 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,640 to see how that goes. What else is there? I think that is 311 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,960 everything, So anything that I missed we'll touch upon in next week's episode when 312 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,799 Travis may or may not come back, depending how the lawyer's fare against his 313 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:44,319 lawyers. So thank you everyone for tuning into this week's review of The Boys. 314 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,519 You can catch us again doing more reviews for The Star Wars, Acolyte 315 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,519 and House of Dragon. Will be back on Sunday, so there's that. 316 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,960 Yeah, thank you very much. Until next time, I am Taylor and 317 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,079 we'll see you in the search bar.
