Homelander’s Origin Is AMAZING | The Boys Diabolical

[sunupclips]

This whole show is a huge example of why you should be a good parent and how bad or no parenting can have consequences

[iam-v]

This is start of a bromance
The show: ya about that

[twstudios]

Nothing could PUNCH a hole through their bromance

[The_True_Guy_Who_Asked]

Also the fact that he actually TRIED to be a hero at first

[Ligmaballin]

Their bromance didn't end so well, it felt like a real punch to the gut...

[TheMrBonzz]

This episode basically confirmed that Black Noir's identity isn't like the one in his Comics counterparts.

[dominicbuck]

He drank through a straw at a party through his mask. Pretty funny

[MopeyToapy]

Black Noir is left handed. Pretty Cool

[iosefaiese]

Pretty sure this is the only canon episode which explains Homelanders relationship with Noir. Homelander didnt necessarily show sadness when he killed him but had that”why did you make me do this!” Attitude which is far more of a reaction than he had to killing anyone else. Also pretty sad to see that there was a point where he really did want to just be your stereotypical superhero.

I just realised this was part of Black Noire’s plan of gaining Homelander’s trust to prepare for Soldier Boy’s return.

[spencerjacobs]

That’s amazing. They actually humanized homelander. Showed he once actually had a heart

[anonymity]

The fact that Homelander killed Noir after everything they've been through just because he didn't tell him that Soldier Boy was his sperm donor is irredeemable

[sanicthehoghegde]

Well black noir mixes coffee grounds with his drink so drinking through his mask is the best filter

[alonsoarana]

This was great foreshadowing for Soldier Boy's arc and his last words to Homelander on being a disappointment. Noir is essentially in the spotlight which he previously hadn't been because of Soldier Boy and Homelander has always been starved for attention which is taken from him by his dad's enemy. This episode is key once you have revisited season 3

[Ultra_Necrozma]

Black Noir sips his drink through the mask because he is just Batman but different.

I didn't realize it until after watching episode eight of season three. That Edgar wasn't just insulting HL by calling him a bad product, he was telling the truth.
And when you think about it. Everything about HL makes sense.
Homelander was supposed to be stronger than Soldier. Better in every way. That's why they had soldier boy give Vought some of his seed so they could make a better him.

But they failed. My best guess is that when HL was born and grew and matured enough they did all sorts of tests to make sure they succeeded such as durability. Strength. Intelligence etc. Most of them came back negative.
The doctors panicked and gave HL more powers to compensate. The Bad Room, is the room they did all the injections to give him more powers. But they couldn't fix his mind.

The only thing that makes HL better than Soldier Boy is that he's got more powers. That's it. Vought spent trillions of dollars and countless hours of time making a product that never lived up to their expectations and by the time they realized what they had done, it was already too late.

What's happening now is simply Lady Karma coming to collect her dues.

after seeing his origins I can't help but kinda feel pity for homelander, think about it....he grew up where he was never shown love and the one time he does is with people cheering him on so ofc he wouldn't want that to be taken from him and he can't even get therapy on top of it and as someone with bpd I can kinda relate with the outbursts and lashing out but then the feeling bad after because it's like a blackout but with him he was never told "don't do this" because people were too scared of his powers so it's like everyone he knew failed him to where he turned out a kinda feel bad for him

[raulalonso]

the boys: diabolical is what I thought “what if” would be

[cxireen]

If they make an animated spin-off. I really hope that they use this animation continuity

[nanaaddae]

You can actually sip drinks through a mesh mask. It’s possible.
