I've been thinking a little about these things that destroy our lives. Where did we go wrong? Is it our fault for being the way we are? Kimiko also thinks about it a lot in this episode, the need to live a life lost because of s*it that happened in the past. Even if I question the exposition that the script uses to make this feeling of the character explicit, I cannot deny that the phrase "I'll never be a normal girl who likes roller coasters. I've been destroyed, and I can't fix it" really moved me. It's not about liking roller coasters, it's about not being able to enjoy roller coasters at the right time.

Don't get me wrong, the first episode was a phenomenal start to the season. But, it was a bit transitory between the feelings and "high" the Boys were riding at the end of last season and the renewed tension for this one. This one sets things really in gear. Multiple major, character-defining moments as well as excellent action and badass visuals. This season will be fun.

A really good episode with a semi-surprising ending.

Throughout the episode, we see the parallel between Butcher and Homelander, one with the hour-super serum, and the other with getting owned by everyone. And they both go nuts at the end when the straw breaks the camel's back.

I actually didn't notice this parallel until writing this review, I don't if you can call it that or not, but to me, they're both kinda paralleling each other.

First, we have Billy, which got the V24, and characteristically wants to destroy it, and struggles with the idea for a bit. First, he has a nightmare about it, as you do, then he goes to blackmail Gunpowder but it doesn't work out, and gets shot. He watches a Lego video his wife's son made with her mom's voice and calls Hughie to say that he was right and they should leave this line of work, but the opposite happens to Hughie and now he tells Butcher that they should get their hands dirty if they want to get things done and he changes Butcher's mind.

Which kinda feels repetitive? This "it's a new season and our heroes are separated and don't want to do what they did for x seasons, so we spend the first 2-3 episodes with them fighting and eventually reuniting again" thing that I thought they already did in season 2? But at least they're not dragging it, and I mean it's only 8 episodes, so they can't drag that trope that long anyway.

And Butcher, unsurprisingly, goes full psycho on Gunpowder and brutalizes him. (Although I was expecting his skull to be have been crushed beyond recognition).

On the other hand, we have Homelander, the birthday boy, which probably has the worst birthday a bratty attention seeker could have. This man can't have anything in this episode. Every attempt of his at bossing someone or assert dominance is shut down by everyone around him. (Let's not forget the whole cocaptain thing). And if that wasn't enough, Stormfront kills herself, and the straw that karate chopped the camel's back was the guy that mocked Stormfront being dead into Homelander's face.

And I say semi-surprising because it's not surprising that he would get fed up after all that and let it out like that for everyone. But it's still a little surprising that he would do that, considering that the most important thing he cares about is his public perception and that people should love him, and that's the whole point of Queen Maeve's blackmail, although it wasn't as bad him killing all those people in season 2.

We get a reveal about Nadia which is not surprising but it's a good reveal nonetheless.

Mother's Milk is struggling with choosing Butcher or his daughter and it seems like he had a past with Soldier Boy that might be related to his dad, which I'm glad they're doing, because it makes an actual connection between our protagonists and Soldier Boy and he's not just there to be there for no reason, it serves the plot and gives meaningful motivation to Marvin.

We get some stuff related to Kimiko and Frenchie too and they have a really bloody scene too with Andrea from Walking Dead which was nice. But I didn't care for the Kimiko stuff and her wanting to be a kid or something. They'll probably further that plot more in the next episodes, but for now, it's not that interesting to be honest. Didn't we get lots of backstory for her in last season?

Oh, and Hughie might have adopted a supe child.

All in all, this was a really good episode with some typical Boys' bodies exploding and blood rain scenes, Butcher and Homelander going nut, reveals about Neuman, Butcher taking the V, Soldier Boy working with Grace Mallory, Stormfront's death, and we're probably gonna see Homelander go even crazier since his fake public persona is wearing off. (Unless he gets even more popular in the eyes of public)

This episode was insane, Homelander is getting more insane this season. I feel like at some point this season he's just going to fully snap and kill everyone. That scene with the girl was an incredibly horrifying scene. And the ending to this episode was just horrifying. I cannot believe what is happening, it's amazing!

Billy messing with the serum was interesting to see, and I love how that's going to come into play in this season.

The amusement park scene was incredible, it was cute at first, then turned messy fast! It's really interesting seeing how Kimiko not wanting to really be in this business, and instead has a childlike wonder to her.

To be honest, I was a little skeptical of this season at first, but this season is shaping up to be one of my favourite seasons of TV of 2022!

9/10 episode!

This scene was the point for me where Homelander truly embraced who he is. He knows he is a god among mortals and finally understands he doesn't have to bow down to anyone. "The only man in the sky, is me" is such a powerful line I couldn't help but get chills the way Anthony Starr delivered it to the poor unsuspecting woman. Homelander has finally declared himself an unapologetic GOD to the public and that is going to make this season very special.

Beautiful Episode, The boys are back together and it will be scary. No review or criticism here Just enjoy this series as it last.

But Yes, Please Tell Starlight, the plastic surgery wasn't needed here, you were better before doing this things to your cheeks.

Thank you.

So in the ep there's this video and then there's this phone call. And I was maybe almost tearing up just a little bit only to be moments later laughing my ass off. And there's that f'n ednding, god damn this episode was great.

Moments like this are an essential part as to why I watch this show and why I think it's great overall. I can give a million reasons as to why a lot of dramas fail at this imo and come off as cheap and emotionally exploitive. And at the viewers expense, even if they are done well. But this is a show where moments like this are earned and enjoyed, at least by me.

This is a great episode for The Boys with excellent performances all across the board from the whole cast. Crimson Countess and Gundpowder are fantastic additions and certainly add flavor and style to the show. Hughie and Starlight, and Frenchie and Kimiko still bring a lot of heart and we get to see some really good character development.

Talking about development, Marvin is struggling a lot and has probably one of his best episodes yet. Can't change who you are, right ? He's slowly getting back. So is Hughie, because of the events surrounding Nadia. Gotta do it Butcher's way. But that comes with a price too, because Billy has injected some Compound V and goes against his beliefs a little bit. Are we on for an addiction storyline ?

Homelander is still kicking off and ready to snap. Stormfront's apparent demise sends him even further, and his birthday special takes a turn. He's so far gone, he's ready to push a girl to jump from a building, because he doesn't find it just that she would survive, and not Stormfront.

We also get solid reveals and learn Victoria is basically Stan Edgar's daughter, and she comes from the Red River program. Is she Egar's fail safe plan to maybe go against Homelander someday ? Who knows. Talking about Red River, we get to see Teddy Stilwell, who also has superpowers.

Overall, the episode focuses a lot on identity themes, and what you are ready to do to succeed and reach your goals. How far are you willing to go ? Also a lot of trauma and memories, especially from M. M. and Kimiko. Homelander has enough and embraces who he is fully, but Billy goes the other way and takes some Compound V. Can't wait to see where that leads.

Episode 2: All thanks to the darkly talented Anthony Starr, this episode and most of The Boys shine in its own crazy way. The rest consist of eye-pleasing visual effects not for the faint hearted.

Whoever is not happy with and doesn't love insane and crazy, The Boys is not for you. Do not watch, then complain and give crappy 1-5 ratings.

I love shows insane and crazy moments and IMO, the producers should have graphically shown what Homelander did to that poor young girl who wanted to jump at first, but then got loca frightened, all because of the insane and unapologetic character that Homelander represents and it will only get worse, I'm sure of that.

The acting of Anthony Starr and Giancarlo Esposito way outshine the other puny ones. That disbalance should be fixed somehow!

This Episode begins with The Deep, he plays in a VTV commercial. Billy visits Mother's Milk at home, he gives him a present for his daughter. Kimiko fights with Crimson in the dressing room. Billy gets attacked in the parking lot. Billy got into a gunfight with Gunpowder. Stormfront committed suicide on Homelander his birthday. Billy fights with Gunpowder. Billy wants to know what killed Soldier Boy in 1984. Billy beats Gunpowder to death. Billy sliced Gunpowder his head in two halves. Amazing Episode of The Boys Season 3, what a great Episode. Billy is furious and killed Gunpowder! Looking forward for more action!

(S3. E2) My Reaction / Review for The Boys Season 3 Episode 2 ''The Only Man in the Sky'': Episode 1 was good and I gave it a rating of 9/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. Its kinda sad seeing Stormfront like that, it would be better if she just died. I don't really believe that there is a weapon that could really kill Homelander. Wait Edgar adopted Neuman? Is that it? So they are connected. Stormfront killed herself? Why? How? Homelander seems to be sad about it. Homelander forced that girl to kill herself, so evil. Super Butcher is badass, also I love how he killed Gunpowder, extremely brutal. Wow Homelander's monologue is crazy, I love it. Overall an amazing episode, my rating is 9.3/10.
