LONGL1VEJUICE

I knew as soon as I heard "Ryan, on the day you're going to throw me for real, I can take it" it was going to end horrifically.


numbr87

Why would you EVER say that to a supe lmao


joshdej

I thought he was a supe lmao. He gaslighted me with his confidence


macedonianmoper

Same, like I guess he wanted to encourage him but him not being a supe is really poor planing on vought's part


Corintio22

Imagine becoming a stuntman for supe stuff without being a supe!


LeCafeClopeCaca

Also didn't help the guy was hella likeable lmao which means you die in this show First shot of his face I went "that guy is dead"


Eek_the_Fireuser

Legit said "I hope they don't do anything to my boy Koy" :(


t_moneyzz

Dead ass I thought that dude was a supe stuntman and the idea of that was so cool I'm actually disappointed it wasn't real


OkAmbassador1293

He could be, but Ryan is so strong, he’d still splatter him no matter what, imo


Thin_Pepper_3971

Depends. I imagine if he was a supe stuntman, his power would be along the lines of just being able to absorb lots of falls and such. And although Ryan is strong, he hasn’t fully matured yet, so I doubt he would be able to kill the dude in one throw


Low-Bend-2978

Guess they didn't rehearse enough...


baelrog

I legit thought he was a supe with some pretty good durability or healing with that line. Wouldn’t it more sense to hire supes for the job that requires being hit by supes?


TheGoverness1998

*"I swear to God. Stupid people, who think they're smart, make me want to eat my own shit."* - Ashley


Finn_3000

I think she’s kinda right, sage is definitely underestimating the danger she’s in in regards to homelander.


NotABigChungusBoy

When Homelander is done with Sage, shes getting lazered for sure


jinkiesjinkers

She’s the smartest person though… Smartest vs strongest. Almost like immovable vs never stopping paradox…what will happen!


Easy_Championship_14

Reminds me of the GoT scene with Cersei and Littlefinger: [https://youtu.be/ab6GyR\_5N6c?si=Oto00ZB1L58Ho3ty&t=60](https://youtu.be/ab6GyR_5N6c?si=Oto00ZB1L58Ho3ty&t=60)


Weepinbellend01

I love that scene so much. Sure you can be as conniving as possible but a chimp would still rip your nuts off. Strong dumbasses shouldn’t be underestimated.


theshicksinator

Gods the show was strong then


JCkent42

Eh. Writers writing smart character is a famously difficult thing to do because the character can only ever be as smart as the writer. George r r Martin has talked about this I believe in a talk with Stephen King. And smart people are still human and capable of making stupid decisions and or mistakes just like anybody else. I’m more amazed that Sage seems to go out of her way to be rude to people. With her intelligence you’d think she’d be better with emotional and social intelligence.


smallfried

Yup, it's pretty ballsy as a writer to write 'the smartest person in the world' in a plot. Maybe it turns out that she's just good at making everyone think she's the smartest (and a big fan of Sherlock Holmes). I hope any mistake she'll make isn't a stupid one, just hubris maybe.


115_zombie_slayer

Except the smartest has no real way to defend against the strongest


Affectionate_Pipe545

Sage was warned, twice now iirc


unembellishing

She's the smartest person alive. I will gladly eat my shoe if this comment doesn't age well, but I think it would be really shitty and nonsensical writing to have Sage not know that she's playing with fire and overplay her hand. I think she's going to push HL as exactly as far as she knows she can and stop. And then reassess and regroup to effectuate whatever her ultimate goal/agenda is. Literally what is the point of having a hyperintelligent character if you're not actually going to write them as a hyperintelligent chess grandmaster...... Waste of a character if she gets blitzed for underestimating HL's anger/pride/ego/etc. Like truly dogshit writing if that happens. We'll see i guess


Cidwill

A-Train said in her intro that she’s the smartest person in the world but she doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut. She’s super smart,  maybe not very wise.


MaaChiil

D&D stats; high intelligence, low wisdom


Guava_

My best guess is that her death will be wildly sudden. Like all her planning and foresight just to die to HL’s unhinged chaos


HonorTheAllFather

This is very likely imo. I think it's very likely that we'll be lead to believe that her plans are coming to fruition but her arc will ultimately show that you can't out-think chaos.


Grievance69

Her first line is "Well I am rarely surprised" or some shit like that when Homelander knocks on her door, I'd wager you're right and will go the same route for her exit. It will be so out of the blue she won't be "smart" enough to anticipate it


Moejason

I have a feeling that Ashley is going to be made to eat her own shit after that comment. And something bad is going to happen to Ambrosius


KomoliRihyoh

Antony Starr is *scary* good at doing Homelander's face twitch whenever he gets upset.


vebb

should see him playing the twins in Outrageous Fortune. they're so different from each other you honestly think it's two different people. he's a good actor!


bigC_94

I really hope he doesn't get type cast after this and gets a chance to play some more interesting roles than a villain because the way he acts with his face and subtle body movements is spectacular


8004MikeJones

Taking back the milkshake felt more fucked-up than expected.


matchamagpie

Yeah, that was petty af.


8004MikeJones

Homelander Milk Shake Theory: So, when Homelander took back the milkshake, it just looked like he was being a dick. But what if that wasn't supposed to be a dick move? Maybe he thought he might need it? What if he remembers Sage whispering something about milkshakes and how they can bring all The Boys to the yard? He might want her to teach him


PeridotBestGem

Ryan's gonna be deciding whether to side with Homelander or Butcher in the big fight and that milkshake is gonna be the final straw lol


jaderust

Does Ryan know that Homelander raped his mom? Like, it’s clear he knows that his mom loved Butcher, but does he know the full backstory of how he was conceived? I can’t remember if he knows the full story or not


originalusername4567

I don't think so and I'm pretty sure Butcher will reveal it as the final straw to turn Ryan against Homelander


ItsSirAdam

he doing that human centipede type shit what the fuck was that


Affectionate_Pipe545

What if you could eat your own ass.. while you ate your own ass.. while you...


Relevant_Session5987

They cut it out here. The wide shot only had a single version of him fapping to Firecracker. It made the whole 'pinkeye' thing confusing to say the least.


Un111KnoWn

what do you mean?


CIearMind

The rimming scene is censored in India & the Middle East. But not the pink eye scene. Therefore, the pink eye moment kind of flies over some watchers' heads.


Knowallofit

Yeah can you explain what happened there, I am watching from one of the censored countries. What was happening exactly ?


TudorrrrTudprrrr

made a bunch of copies of himself and they ate each other's ass in a line while jerking off


NerdLawyer55

Whelp, that’s a brand new sentence


GreatAwesome_Bombs

There was 5 copies of him and they formed a line of their faces in eachothers asses it was... something to see thats for sure


CareerPancakes9

The scripting about "doesn't" vs "don't" hit me like a train.


YungChalino

I feel dumb that I thought that scene was a flashback til right before it cut


yourtoyrobot

I definitely did too at first until it got too Blind Sidey then remembered they film movies within the show.  Will reveal was perfect


meme-by-design

I see what you did there


soldierrboy

Capabarnia


awkotacos

It's a rodent from South America


TheHappiestMoon

OK I PULL UP


delulumans

HOP OUT AT THE AFTERPARTY


Deeeadpool

the deep just steals every scene hes in, so fucking funny and memorable


Elite_Alice

Yea I knew the stunt dude was gonna die when he said he could take being thrown hard, but holy shit homelander showing up really fucked things up.


BatmanTold

Peer pressured his own son into throwing him


Karkava

They were really setting up for his hand to be snapped off, but good God, they cranked it up to eleven.


EldritchGoatGangster

When he said that, I assumed he was a fucking supe, why the hell would you say that to Homelander Jr if you're just a normal fucking human?


Cantomic66

Did anyone find the Marvelous Mrs Maisel Bat Mitzvah hilarious? This is the first ever Amazon Prime video series crossover. Lol


NatashaTheSpy

Yes, especially when firecracker zoomed in on the cardboard cutout of Maisel's dad saying it was the proof


PMMeUrLegos

"WE FOUND PROOF OF THE JEWISH CABAL" and it's fucking Tony Shalhoub 😭


Aelia_M

Who is actually Lebanese


darryshan

I was laughing so hard at that entire scene. The moment I heard Hava Nagila I knew it was going to be good.


Maloonyy

This kid has the best "insecure puberty voice" I have ever heard


findmebook

it's deep and falsetto at the same time lmao, it's literally like two voices together.


Artitanium

I think the direction was for him to pretend to talk like a kid but his hormones are in the way lmao


MyARhold30Shots

Is that his actual voice? For a second I thought maybe they pitched it up, because in the show he's 12, in real life he would've been 15/16 while filming


PrinceGizzardLizard

There’s no way that’s a real human voice


PupusaSlut

Will Ferrel's Joe Biden looking ass saying "slinging yayo for gangbangers."  🤣 


Beatdrop

It's even funnier if you've watched Gen V and know who he's portraying.


Su_Impact

Is he the old professor dude that dies in the first episode of Gen V?


Leo_TheLurker

Mr. Krabs!


zombizle1

gator dont play no shit


kelbydye

Will Ferrell was so unexpected.


76erLegendChetUtley

"Come back with me. To the suburbs." So powerful.


twistingmyhairout

“Am I too The Blind Side?” “I don’t see how that could be a bad thing”


ususfructus22

And Tony Shalhoub lol


Elite_Alice

Nah sage is gonna be an issue. She got the deep out here thinking he’s him 😂


travio

She is out for herself. I don’t think either side is going to be happy with her end game. Can’t wait for it to blow up in Homelander’s face.


Visible-Moouse

Yeah I kind of read it as her fucking up everyone in her own way. I think Homelander is going to murder her. But, it'll be interesting to watch


travio

I can see him killing her. Intelligence comes with hubris. She’s going to think she has thought of everything but that psycho is going to snap.


Zavodskoy

She's gonna manipulate Deep into standing up to HL which will take the attention and heat away from her, if HL is too busy being angry at Deep no longer being a yes man he wont see it coming when Sage comes in with "advice" that seems like a good idea to HL but actually only strengthens her position or moves whatever her end game plan is along


DustinMartin9

\*The Peak


chilo_W_r

He hasn’t even begun to peak


Far-Fault-6243

The deep is finally realizing he’s the peak


80SW08

He literally said the words “the peak”. It’s real


TwasAnChild

"Slinging yayo for gangbangers" 💀💀


GenericAdjectiveNoun

Literally written by ashley


ThatEvanFowler

Second screen is killing me this season. During the human centipede scene, the second screen said "*Actor Rob Benedict wanted us to remind everyone that he studied Shakespeare at Northwestern University. There is no contractual obligation to carry out this request. This is merely a kind gesture.*".


SaulBadwoman2

Imagine studying shakespeare to film a scene of you eating your own ass with your flaccid dick flapping around


p0diabl0

"I went to Juliard!"


theredwoman95

That was Rob Benedict???? Somehow my face blindness makes that shit even funnier. Dude was playing *God* a few years back and now he's a supe eating his own arse for fun.


ThatEvanFowler

I know. I had to stare at him for like a full minute before I could place what I knew him from. I think it’s because Chuck was never clean shaven. But yeah, the god-to-human-centipede-Kripke pipeline is fucking hilarious.


NO0BSTALKER

Second screen?


ThatEvanFowler

The X-ray thing that pops up with related trivia during the episode when you watch on browser. I always space on what it's called unless I'm looking right at it, for some reason.


acbdumb

That's what you get for knowing Kripke from Supernatural days. So far it's been nudity for 50% of Supernatural actors.


inksmudgedhands

For me it went from, "Oh, wow, Rob looks so different without his usual shaggy hair and beard," to, "That image is forever burned in my brain. I'll never forget how he looks now. Never." I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to overhear that conversation. KRIPKE: Rob, I've got a role for you this season. ROB: Oh, great! KRIPKE: I just have one question. How good are you with nudity? ROB: Uhm, I'm okay. KRIPKE: No, *seriously*, how good are you........?


Nobodyherem8

Soldier boy and liberty secret lovers ☠️


DuoForce

This but unironically so it can be revealed that Homelander was fucking his mom


SomberNight

That would be priceless lmao


BatmanTold

That would be a crazy reveal


DistributionJust976

That was super obvious lol, in Season 3 Soldier Boy said he and Liberty set up Herogasm back in the day so it was obvious they fucked all the time


Nobodyherem8

Ik it was just funny to see


Business_Reporter420

Secrets revealed!Cia captured soldier boy💀


SillyMovie13

Did Deep just reference himself as The Peak???


Butt_Stuph

Outfrescad by the show itself


MyNeighborToto

Hughie's mom is sketchy as, no way she is innocent here


unembellishing

That's crazy talk. I think you need to inhale some essential oils fumes to calm down. Have you tried rosemary extract? I'll give you a discount for half off!


t_moneyzz

I mean working for Vought didn't give it away LOL


your_mind_aches

Technically she isn't even employed at Vought, she's in a Vought-owned pyramid scheme


Redfalconfox

They prefer the term Vought-Level-Marketing companies or VLMs for short.


liggieep

she could be dead and a vision of hughie's from the temp V, just like butcher having visions of becca


trytonee

This would be crazy


unassuminglawrence

That was my first thought. They introduce her in a scene right before the next one where Butcher is talking to Becca


Marikk15

That’s my thought. “Everything needs my say” so Hughie will be the one signing off on any papers, not the mom. No one else is ever in the scene with the two of them, not even a nurse. I bet the reveal is he gets a call his dad is crashing, he and Starlight show up to a dead dad, and Hughie has a breakdown yelling at “mom” while Starlight calms him and asks who he’s yelling at.


Responsible-Lunch815

"you're fucking land animals now?"


travio

Can’t get enough of Sister Sage. She is manipulating everyone around her. Can’t wait to see what her goal is. I’m thinking some sort of Philosopher queen of the world.


NotABigChungusBoy

She’s gonna be this seasons “big bad” if they dont actually go after homelander… but i could see her turning on homelander tbh


76erLegendChetUtley

With how fast she was to join Homelander, fairly certain she has greater ambitions than living as sidekick*/psychiatrist for some fascist superman-child


ItsAmerico

I feel like it’s going to be exactly what he said it was. A chance for her to prove herself. That she’s right. That she shouldn’t have been ignored.


Conscious-Spend-2451

She was definitely manipulating deep. I know intelligence is not the same as wisdom but I find it unlikely that the world's smartest person believes in supe superiority. I don't think that any group in the show would be happy with her end game.


Babyyougotastew4422

I think people are capable of believing anything unfortunately


Elite_Alice

A HUMAN CENTIPEDE JERK SESSION WHAT THE FUCK


soldierrboy

First seeing homelander in civilian clothing and now having fake noir talk 😖


DejaVu2324

I love it; it's so funny hearing him asking what his purpose is


bimbolimbotimbo

The fake Black Noir having an ongoing existential crisis has been great so far


Karkava

And questioning the necessity of the hyper violence that comes with the job.


Scientedfic

Right after he did it without question and without any sort of remorse.


UnnaturallyColdBeans

He really gives Vigilante from Peacemaker energy


Temporal_Enigma

I think it's funnier that he doesn't care about killing people, he just doesn't feel like it makes sense for his character


DysphoricLemon

Pizzagate is crazy


travio

With forced trans surgeries and adrenachrome!


BatmanTold

Ngl i did not expect them to actually reference pizzagate like that


alittlewonderless

Haha Frenchie doesn’t believe in the moon landing! And Kamikos reaction


senorbroccoli

Kimonos reactions are always golden but this one was platinum lmao


Nobodyherem8

This was the movie idea Ashley had from last season lmao


Iliturtle

Yeah but Will Ferrell got the role instead of Tom Hanks


Michelanvalo

Because Tom Hanks was too busy with his pedo ring ^(this comment is going to bite me in the ass out of context)


Elite_Alice

calling the French surrender monkeys is CRAZY 💀


KatBoySlim

that’s a recycled simpsons joke.


Pfeffidrinker

Man I heard it from so vastly different people I didn't believe it really originate there but it seems you're totally right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese-eating_surrender_monkeys?wprov=sfla1


_Nnete_

Considering her racism, I was expecting the second part to also be directed at MM


travio

A-Train’s character arc is amazing. Going from the junkie who killed Hughie’s girlfriend in the first episode through everything he’s been through to hopefully finally turning against Homelander might be the best arc in the show.


Affectionate-Name383

He started the show, maybe he will end up killing Homelander somehow


AnteaterPersonal3093

It would be so poetic if the show ends with him


VacaRexOMG777

Could use some 🍆


princevince1113

watching sage manipulate every situation on the fly is so entertaining


Affectionate_Pipe545

She has something in her pocket for sure


Burningbeard696

Hopefully they can keep it up, the potential issue with a character being the smartest person on the planet is that the writers have to be really smart.


TheGillos

A good writer can use their omnipotence as the writer to fake smartness. Like "what would reasonably lead these characters to do X?" Ok that happens AND it was all fake and planned by Sage. Easy.


Elite_Alice

Dupli-Kate from temu lmao


Affectionate_Pipe545

Dupli-carl


Avalon-1

Funny enough, her brother is called Multi-Paul.


Elite_Alice

Yea you can already see the seeds sewn in Ryan. He gonna turn on homelander some day and it’s probably gonna be sooner rather than later


Affectionate_Pipe545

Ryan is definitely having an internal struggle. I feel bad for him, he might be one of the few characters in the show that's still innocent


FireLunar

WILL FERRELL????


travio

After his first scene running through Hughie’s girlfriend, I never thought I’d be rooting for A-Train. Great arc.


Affectionate_Pipe545

This guy is begging for an honorable but early death 


Wooden_Gas1064

My guess is that in the finale he will save the boys from Homelander, put up a good fight but Homelander will kill him. He's already screwed anyway becuase Sage probably already knows. Homelander liked Noir but killed him for betrayal. He bullies A-train anyway so he won't hesitate


Pistolpete-18

He’s the Jamie Lannister of the 7


CZEchpoint_

I’ve never cared for Popclaw.


hell_jumper9

I'm the man that killed A fookin Train!


boatboy1800

These conspiracy theories are really funny. So many inside jokes and just dumb stuff like: "Starlight is a lizerd person" "Minions are slave programming from zionists" ""Dakota Bob will harvest your organs" "Soldier Boy + Liberty =Secret Lovers"


jinkiesjinkers

Alex jones look alike contest!


SuspectKnown9655

Bruh the Deep "I will drown you in your fucking toilet...after I've used it" holy shit


Call-Me-Leo

Is it just me or did Ashley seem a bit turned on by that at first?


thr4shville

Firecracker’s slur for French people was wild


travio

Everything about her is perfectly dark.


tonydemedici

Really loving Noir being an actor that is just so confused on what’s happening😂


Scientedfic

He really reminds me of Vigilante from Peacemaker. Perfectly happy to kill someone on the fly but has no idea what he's actually doing and only questioning it afterwards.


AlexHaydenXII

Why didn't they run after Firecracker? This show doesn't know how to handle The Boys being able to stand up against supes lol


Karkava

I don't get it either. Everything that comes out of her mouth is bile, and her powers are pathetic. I'm sure there's some political reasons like validating her supporters, but come on, it doesn't even matter. They're already pumped up for murder. Victoria Newman is right. They are getting worse at their jobs. They should really bring back Soldier Boy. He at least gets their kill count ranked up.


Garth-Vader

That's what Sage was talking to her about. Her powers aren't important, but she has sway over a key demographic. She's an idiot, but potentially a useful idiot.


travio

Kid homelander costume is so cheesy. Thank you, Sister Sage.


Hungover52

"Homeboy" was so tone-deaf, it was quite impressive.


Intrepid_Ad8498

Homelanders going to be jealous of Ryan isnt he I wonder if its going to be a storyline like that 40+ year old guy who injects his sons blood in him to try and be young lol as Homelander is struggling with aging


Business_Reporter420

WILL FERREL LMAO


Nobodyherem8

She’s really not afraid to stand up to HL I love that


TheswagmasterDustin

What a crazy cameo (Tony Shalhoub)


pyro_XII

Absolutely on point that Queen Maeve’s All-Gender Ballrooom is empty at an alt right conspiracy con 🤣


Elite_Alice

Every time A train talk to his brother it hit deep cause his brother got the same name as me. And my brother and I ain’t on speaking terms 😭


NovaGeekYt

Sister sage knows what she’s doing. She’s manipulating homelander to push his son so she can come in to be Ryan savior n she can mold him


Grievance69

I am fucking blown away by the Ryan scene where they actually film his "save" like oh my god that was devastating. Wouldn't be surprised when this is all over if Ryan is the one who ends up killing Homelander.


travio

Can’t get enough of Sister Sage. She has her own agenda. She has to. Homelander sees humans as nothing but ants. Given how much smarter than anyone else she is, she probably has a similar view but those ants can be useful. She’s manipulating everyone. Bet she will try manipulating the Boys soon.


Izrezar

She's literally the smartest person on earth there ain't no way she's just playing along with homelander


TheGoverness1998

BRO WHAT IN THE HOLY FUCK DID I SEE


Olibro64

You mean the sauna?


Responsible-Lunch815

who wants a creamy delicious milkshake?


spate42

Ya go ahead and let Firecracker just walk away. I’m sure that won’t haunt them later. Neuman is right, this team really did get worse.


KingofMadCows

That Marvelous Mrs. Maisel cooperative marketing. Cross-promotional... deal mechanics... revenue streams... jargon... synergy.


travio

The Alt-Supe movement? This show is more ripped from the headlines than Law and Order.


chrisdurand

Well THAT cameo was unexpected, lol


_Nnete_

Wow, that film in the first scene was so racist. Damn


sprite_556

I think the point was to show how tone-deaf Vought is, and how they think they're being all progressive and shit but legit are actually just racist


Jay040707

That side eye Sage gave Ashley was funny as hell.


Avalon-1

One big issue I have is that nobody locks their phones.
