HOMELANDER IS OUR NEW LORD & SAVIOR...The Boys Season 5 Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - THE BOYS Season 5 Episode 1 & 2 REACTION https://youtu.be/zne1Sb6w6Ds - Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Gregory Alba, Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey dive into one of the wildest and most game-changing episodes yet, bringing you their The Boys Season 5 Episode 3 reaction, recap, commentary, breakdown, analysis, and full spoiler review!! Gregory Alba, Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey react to and break down The Boys Season 5 Episode 3, the Prime Video series created by Eric Kripke and starring Antony Starr (Banshee) as Homelander, Karl Urban (The Boys, Dredd) as Billy Butcher, and Jack Quaid (Scream, Oppenheimer) as Hughie Campbell, as the stakes escalate to terrifying new levels. This episode introduces the terrifying concept of V1, the original Compound V formula, revealing a version far more powerful and unstable than anything currently in circulation. As highlighted in the reaction, the idea that Homelander could become immune to the virus—or even immortal—raises the tension across every storyline and sets up a race to find the last remaining traces before he does . At the same time, the episode dives deeper into Homelander’s psyche, delivering one of the most disturbing sequences of the season as he spirals further into delusion, reinforcing his god complex and pushing him toward even more extreme actions. Meanwhile, Butcher’s storyline takes a major turn as his connection with Ryan intensifies, leading to a morally complex and emotionally charged confrontation that forces impossible choices about sacrifice and survival. The episode also expands the world through returning Gen V characters and deeper Vought conspiracies, while multiple storylines collide with brutal consequences, betrayals, and shifting alliances. From shocking reveals about the past to explosive present-day confrontations, everything feels like it’s building toward a catastrophic endgame. Greg, Coy & John break down the massive lore drops, Homelander’s escalating threat, the emotional weight of Ryan’s arc, and why this episode pushes The Boys into even darker and more unpredictable territory. #TheBoys #TheBoysSeason5 #Homelander #BillyButcher #PrimeVideo #TheBoysReaction #TVReaction #Vought #RyanButcher #GenV #Reaction Real Steel Reaction: https://youtu.be/A96hFHxwLFA Dredd Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/fLNP1BDcerk X-MEN: APOCALYPSE: https://youtu.be/oQE93-rQ3Jg Follow *Coy Jandreau* https://www.youtube.com/@CoyJandreau https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?lang=en https://www.instagram.com/coyjandreau/?hl=en https://twitter.com/CoyJandreau Follow *Greg Alba* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba 0:00 - Checking in! 1:11 - The Boys 5x3 Reaction 30:26 - The Boys 5x3 Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermedia Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

the reunion of samir and zoey was also a parallel to the reunion of ryan and homelander.. one met with hugs and the other met with a beatdown. Zoey and her dad instantly teamed up to destroy the virus and ryan and homelander butting heads and not seeing eye to eye

Not Butcher playing Ryan, knowing he was still gonna confront Homelander virus or not. He figured Homelander would beat him up, just like Butcher and his dad which will drive Ryan to want to kill Homelander, like Butcher killed his father. The cycle continues.
