Homelander and The Boys

 


     The Boys is now on its 4th season—five episodes are now available to watch, five bloody, brutal, gruesome and highly entertaining episodes. The Boys is about lab-made superheroes who abuse their superpowers and wreak chaos and havoc on the people instead of protecting them and the vigilantes (composed of ordinary people) called The Boys who are determined to stop them.

    Homelander, the strongest (he has powers similar to Superman’s), the baddest and the most terrifying superhero in the world, is now determined to control and rule the world—and The Boys are still trying their best to stop him. And I’ve just watched the most-talked about episode (so far) of the season, the fourth episode. Well, it’s a shocking episode, for sure. Its most talked-about scene: Homelander forced a scientist to masturbate in front of his co-workers and when he failed to make it hard, his dick was lasered and incinerated (with gusto by Homelander).

    A lot of people find the scene offensive but if you’ve been watching The Boys from day one, you know that the show is populated with scenes that can only be described as shocking and gross. In Episode 1 of Season 3, there's this scene where another lab-made freak, a man who has the power to shrink ala-Ant-Man, shrunk into the size of a termite and entered the penis of his boyfriend through the meatus (the boyfriend’s quirk) but while he was inside, he sneezed and returned to his actual size—you can imagine what happens next. You can’t find scenes like that in other shows. Lol.

    And there’s no denying how amazing the actor playing Homelander is—his portrayal of the screwy, deranged, immature, violent, approval-seeking, and love-seeking superhero or supervillain is simply perfection. Just him flashing a forced smile or clenching his jaw in disgust is enough to send chills down your spine, or rather, his enemies’ spine.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
