Amazon's 'The Boys' - fighting superheroes gone bad with an awesome Karl Urban Cockney accent

[belboid]

I'm not whether to be relieved at the final scene or not.

Spoiler

Was expecting Homelander to be wanking over Stormfronts maimed body

as I said on the prime thread, I believe that that is a scene they were made to cut from season 1

 

[tommers]

Well, wasn't that something.

 

[donkyboy]

Well well. Our head exploder was unexpected, but I liked who it was. Makes the next season interesting.

Phew - just watched it and wondered whether the series had ended there.

Would still work if it had ended on either season tbf.

 

[AverageJoe]

Loved it. LOVED IT

 

[T & P]

It was good

 

[belboid]

Teen spinoff coming, apparently

The Boys is getting a spin-off series featuring young superheroes

Hormonal supes? What could possibly go wrong?

As mentioned on the ' Prime ' thread, I think Season 2 was even better than S1.

' Don't be a cunt ' - Great line

I liked "wonder woman" kicking shit out of a nazi. Good golden age shit there.

Homie seems a lot less powerful than Superman.

Brilliant acting from that guy. And, well, all of them really. MM and Stormfront and Frenchie surely have some great gigs coming.

In what way?

I don't know if you've seen Banshee, but Antony Starr (Homelander) is fucking superlative in it.

No, haven’t seen it.

 

[T & P]

No, haven’t seen it.

On NowTV if you have it. One of the best action series out there and no mistake.

 

[Petcha]

Does Karl Urban's accent get any better throughout? I didnt watch the whole thing. Or was it all a gag and he comes out as a kiwi eventually. Coz that was the worst cockney accent ive ever heard.

 

[8ball]

In what way?

Stormfront was chucking him about a bit (in that scene), and moving tectonic plates and reversing time would be a bit beyond him, I think.

And his hair is bleachable.

Don’t have it, but will keep an eye out for any naughty streams.

 

[T & P]

Oh, the amount of naughty scenes (and violence) makes Game of Thrones feel like a PG-rated show. But on top of all of that it is a superb action-thriller, and Homelander guy is great in it.
Sorry for the derail everyone.

It really REALLY grows on you and is actually essential now. I wouldn't want him to have any other accent.

Er, no.

He's amazing, walks the line between being utterly, utterly hateful and yet having little glimmers where you realise he's such a product of his history.

He's a kiwi too, right? Hope Americans aren't having to put up with some awful cod-american accent like we're having to put up with Urban's fucking dick van dyke bullshit.

Apart from that though it really is a fucking brilliant series.

 

[Petcha]

I believe he's actually quite a decent actor. From what I saw Simon Pegg nailed an american one. how the fuck did urban get away with that?!

I meant STREAMS!!

Guys, these people inhabit a comic-book world of fantasy - Urban's accent not being realistically cockney is really not important.

I do not give a fuck about it being realistic, but I do give a fuck that it sounds like he's taking the piss cor blimey guvnor wot a load of carnts. Make the character a bloody kiwi already, or hire someone who can do the accent

Statham. We're all thinking it. The world can never have enough Statham.

 

[strung out]

I don't know why people are complaining, that's what Londoners actually sound like to the rest of us.

He pronounces 'twat' as 'twot' in films these days.
