Why it's such a great opening scene
0:01
This is what the show is. You're either in or you're out. It's kind of like a buckle up. Buckle up, buckaroo. Boys
0:06
Great show. What's your number five favorite scene? My number five is actually the opening scene to the show
0:12
You're saying the A-Train scene? Yes. That's my number five as well. So A-Train, this very fast superhero
0:17
who's basically the equivalent to The Flash in a way. There's a couple standing here
0:21
They're holding hands, having a cute moment. You know, if we move in together, what'd you just say
0:26
You're getting to feel this character. and then bam, the girlfriend is gone
0:30
It's just like this absolute freight train just like runs through her, like through her body
0:35
What the just happened? Do I just turn this on? Yeah. And there's a girl who literally just exploded
0:39
and he's sitting there holding her pants. This is such a graphic show. That's a great wide, such a great opening scene
0:45
I kind of feel like their version of being like, all right, this is what the show is. You're either in or you're out
0:49
Yeah. It's kind of like a buckle up. Buckle up, buckaroo. So my number four is the scene where after all the people
0:56
were against the Seven in the show, who's essentially the Avengers. They figure out like, hey, superheroes aren't natural
1:02
and they break into this baby nursery where they're injecting babies with superpowers
1:07
Compound V. Easy with that. If you get some air in there, you could kill the kid. Well, wouldn't that be a corn shine
1:12
There's a baby in this little bed thing, and just shoots lasers and hits a glass
1:17
It's a protective glass thing. And you're like, oh my god, this baby has superpowers. Yeah, this baby's basically Homelander 2
1:22
They're injecting him with Compound V. this baby's gonna have crazy insane powers
1:26
So when all the security storms into the room, Billy Butcher gets this great idea to grab the baby
1:32
out of the vacinette and just be like, all right, I'm gonna use you like a laser gun
1:36
And just holds the baby's head. It is like just kills all the security
1:40
evaporates some of the baby. Holy . That was diabolical. It's like the perfect combination of like
1:47
it's dark and graphic like the Watchmen, but it's also like kind of Deadpool kick-ass
1:53
where it's like there's also some up jokes. Like a lot of the really scenes are like weirdly funny You always calling people or but I just I never really got how that an insult Okay so my number four is in season two
2:08
when Homelander goes to the 99th floor to meet with Stan Edgar, the CEO of Voss
2:14
Morning, Homelander. Do what do I owe the pleasure? You can't not think that's Gustav Frank
2:18
He's Gustav Frank, like he's Gus. That scene basically Homelander threatens, he's like
2:22
you know what? You hired Stormfront, I'm the king of this place
2:26
You didn't consult with me. You run a superhero company and you never check in with your superheroes
2:32
Maybe when my contract's up next year, I'll just leave. Contract's up. End of this year
2:36
Maybe it's time I move on. I love that there's corporate superhero in this show
2:41
Stan just shuts him down and is like, do you know the history of this company
2:45
And he goes through the whole history about how Vaught basically was a Nazi, and he was in charge of a concentration camp, and he's really up
2:51
We don't tell anyone, but yeah, we're a chemical company. You are under a misconception that we are a superhero company
2:57
We are not. What we are, really, is a pharmaceutical company. That's one of the many reasons why the show is so good
3:03
Yeah. What if superheroes were a business? What if this was a real thing? And what would a business that does that do
3:09
They would make movies so that they could sell merchandise because they're just trying to make money
3:13
Capitalism. Capitalism. My number three is this scene where it's basically just a big girl fight
3:19
There you are, you slippery little . I love a good woman-led scene, of course
3:23
Cut by girlfriends, but basically we have a Starlight who's like the new and upcoming superhero
3:29
She's got the good girl who just figured out that the whole system's corrupt. Yeah, and
3:33
Maeve feel like second-in-command who's like also good, but like trying to figure out are up against
3:39
Stormfront who is the evil evil Nazi She has so much power because she's like the og
3:46
And so it's just like a scene where they're basically just like kick it out of her Yeah, until it's like she kind of like mercies and like pops up the other part of this
3:53
that scene that I love, but also I'm kind of like, what? Is they just start kind of like kicking her
3:58
like they're jumping her in a playground. Yeah it like they superheroes and they like literally like kicking on the floor They like what are they just kicking her What about your superpower I guess when you all have powers it like let just resort back to the basics when it really comes down to it Let get savage My number 3 is the baby scene
4:10
That's one of the funniest like one minute. It's like physical comedy
4:14
We didn't know he was gonna do that, but I think everybody watching was like, he should grab the baby. That's how he gets out of here
4:19
My number 2 is the scene where Homelander is on the roof with his son
4:24
Okay, that's my number 2 as well. Might be one of the hardest I've ever laughed for like the first time watching a scene ever
4:29
ever. So this kid is like half human, half superhero. It's Homelander's son. Yeah, it's Homelander's son. They're standing on the roof and he's like, you can fly
4:37
And the kid's like, no, I can't. Ready for what? To jump
4:41
He's just like, dad. I don't want to do this. Please, I really don't want to do this
4:45
I don't want to jump off the roof. And then literally he just kind of gives him a little pat on the back
4:49
and just pushes him off this like 20 foot roof and the kid just
4:53
Another physical comedy thing. Literally the kid just splats down, passes out
4:57
Passes out. He's out. Homeowner's face when he sees him in the garage. He's like
5:02
It's like, you just pushed your son off a roof. Yeah. But he's right in the end
5:06
The kid's fine. He's fine. He's fine. Look. See? Homeowner's like, yeah, he's invincible
5:12
Look at him. There's not a scratch on him. You know why? Because he's my son
5:16
My number one is the scene where Homelander basically has some bad PR and kind of up
5:23
and there's a protest against him. Everyone and he shows up to the protests like takes the mic and you know
5:31
It's trying to convince the crowd like things happen like we're all on the same team trying to basically like do some control
5:37
I just want you to know That I understand I'm upset too
5:41
How many times does a celebrity or a politician get in hot water and you're like just shut up everything you say makes this worse
5:49
But if you were in their situation, you'd be like you want to defend yourself. I can explain he shows up tries to please case
5:54
everyone in the crowd gets more pissed off at him. You don't speak for us
5:58
All of a sudden, his eyes light up, and his lasers just mow down everyone in the crowd Unbelievable shot too Yeah you get over you see everyone running and you just see everyone just plowed This is the first time Homelander ever had like some bad PR and the public is kind of like Homelander
6:14
And so when he does that, you're like, oh, it's over. Everybody now knows Homelander is bad
6:18
Okay, I guess this is the part of the series when inevitably they're all gonna realize that
6:21
But then- But then, all of a sudden, it just cuts back, and it was like a dream in his head
6:25
And that scene reminds me so much of the scene in Twilight, Breaking Dawn part two
6:30
The dad, Carlisle, gets his like head cut off, and everyone's like, and then it cuts to it was a dream
6:40
My number one scene is when Ashley officially takes over as PR
6:45
I am gonna fill Miss Stilwell's shoes as best I can. It's really happy. It's like, congratulations
6:52
You know, this is great. And she's like, I'm so excited. Thank you for helping me get this job
6:57
Happy. It's like a full three minute scene where she's like, oh, by the way, follow me. Lead the way
7:01
And they go into a room and there's Blindspot. He's a disabled superhero who can like throw knives
7:06
He can hear really well. He's basically Daredevil. And Homelander is like, wow, this is great
7:11
And then she says like, yeah, this will do really well with millennials because it's a business
7:15
Homelander really cares about the business. And clearly, this seems like a great PR move
7:19
And he's like, just quick question, you know, with everything. What happens if, I don't know, I do this
7:28
And then he claps his head. I'm not sure if you're supposed to assume that Blindspot then dies later
7:33
Or just goes deaf. Or he's deaf. But his ears are like bleeding. They're spurting blood
7:38
And then all of a sudden, he just, the home under switch of
7:42
which by the way, I don't know why, this is a funny scene to me. Because of this after part
7:45
Because it was just so aggressive out of nowhere. He's like, and now you're just another blind guy
7:50
No, you're just another useless blind guy. And then he does the turn to Ashley, look at me
7:57
And he's like, do you think I would ever look? And he says cripple, which I know is offensive, but he's like
8:01
I'm going to cripple in the seven? What made you think I would ever allow a cripple into the seven
8:07
For sakes. Like, it's just such a good show. It is such a good show
