"The
Big Ride"
Last
night I watched the first episode of the new season of The Boys. They
released three of them but I am not trying to plow through since
there are so many other good shows to watch right now and I am
rationing shit out. I loved the first season of this and was way to
excited when I found out the second would be coming out so soon. This
picks up right after the previous season which I liked because I was
dreading a massive flash forward. It begins with Black Noir in the
middle east going after that super powered terrorist that can blow
himself up but not die. It is one of the most gruesome ass scenes but
I was here for it. People get throats cut, faces pulled apart, just
everything. It was also more of him fighting than last season
combined. He takes the guys head with him and plays with a bunny with
a child. Its weird.
There
is a funeral for Translucent that Homelander is using to rile people
up for superheroes to be able to fight for the military. Starlight
sings a song. It is ultra cheesy. The guy that runs Vought Industries
Mr. Edgar is explaining how she is gonna be running now. The group of
Hughie, Mother's Milk, Frenchie, and Kimiko are in a basement hiding.
There is a show about how Billy Butcher blew up Stillwell. We know he
did blow the building up but Homelander burned her face off before
all that and then flew Billy to his still living wife and a boy with
powers like Homelander. They wanna just run away but Hughie is
plotting with Starlight to get some Compound V and expose it and
clear their names. Mother's Milk is not happy about this.
One of
Frenchie's friends show up with his arm all mangled and expecting
them to fix it. They find the spot where he was hurt and a ship is in
the damn street. They find video and people were being shipped to the
country illegally and one of them used powers to throw the damn ship
at the dude. Kimiko finds an origami bird and tries to explain its
meaning to Frenchie who doesn't understand her. She just writes “boy”
on a piece of paper. The team go to Raynor from the CIA and she just
puts it together how Vought is running shit to pretty much take over
the military. Hughie notices her nose starting to bleed and then her
damn heads explodes! They run as they should. Meanwhile Annie films
this guy that works in the labs at Vought and films him charging a
guy to cut his limbs off. They grow back and give lunatics joy from
killing but not. She blackmails him into getting some Compound V for
her.
Jesus.
I haven't even mentioned Deep. He is still in Cleveland losing his
shit. His legacy is being erased from The Seven and he spends his
time drinking and yelling at kids at a water park. He gets arrested
and bailed out by a guy named Eagle the Archer. He wakes up and Eagle
is there with a lady named Susan. She wants to help Deep like she did
Eagle through a group called the Church of the Collective. Ashley who
Homelander recruited to replace Stillwell wants to show him the new
guy she brought in to join The Seven. But first he has a big drink of
Stillwell's old breast milk. It was special. She shows him this cool
ass blind dude that is acrobatic as hell and can fight. So of course
Homelander claps his ears so hard his ears start bleeding. He lets
her know no one joins the team unless he brings them in.
A new
team member named Stormfront crashes a commercial that Homelander and
Queen Maeve are filming. She is broadcasting all of this live online
and if she wasn't I am sure Homelander would have ended her life.
Homelander goes to talk to Mr. Edgar about how his contract is
expiring soon and he may pursue other options. Edgar gives no fucks.
He lets Homelander know about the history of the company and how
Homelander has assumed that it is for superheroes when in fact it is
a pharmaceutical company that he has fucked over by giving out
Compound V to foreign countries and how they have to clean up his
mess. Homelander tries to stare him down and he doesn't even blink.
No one has ever talked this this crazy bastard this way and I loved
it. He flies off in a huff to visit Butcher's not dead wife. And then
Butcher shows back up to meet The Boys!
