 What is going on guys welcome back to channel critical overload here's any time of the boy season 3 episode 3 This will be the recap for it episode 3 opens with a young starlight preparing for one of her pageants One of her little miss hero pageants as a kid since we know that stuff that we've had talked about As it retains to the revelation of compound V the revelation that she doesn't really have natural born powers And the revelation that her mom was of course using her for her mom's own personal interest Not necessarily the interest of starlight's best benefit in terms of starlight's perspective things We know have already been addressed in season one, but to see a flashback like this was very nice So it's 17 years ago to be exact in this flashback. She's doing a performance involving Britney Spears Then we jump to present time where starlight is watching homelanders record it meltdown And so was homeowner on a repeat cycle until Ashley interrupts him and finds him naked So I guess he was masturbating to himself. I guess she informs him that his popularity went up from his life Speech meltdown for being unapologetic Butcher is shown recovering from his 24-hour soup rush and killing gunpowder Huey reunites with mother's milk Frenchie butcher and Kamiko He tells butcher that they need to hide Ryan because Newman instead Edgar know where he is Starlight has a meeting about supersonic's role on American hero and his position history with starlight There's commentary on ships and fan popularity here that I really enjoyed the boys go to see Ryan at Mallory's again Mother's milk has a grudge with soldier boy We find out because he killed mother's milk's family when he was a kid Supersonic meets with starlight who tells him that he should turn down the opportunity because homelander is a threat a train has a reunion moment with his brother Ryan is shown playing connected or connect for with Kamiko Kamiko and Ryan then share a conversation about regretting their powers now this scene is a scene I think many of you need to just remember when I say this because it's foreshadowing different events that go on later on in the season So inside Mallory Inside the location where Mallory is she's informed about Newman's suit status Butcher confronts her about the knowledge of Mallory's prior connection to payback as a case manager and Mallory reveals her involvement with Operation operation Charlie. She was in charge of trafficking cocaine into the US I believe that's what was mentioned. She was responsible for helping sell the drugs to minorities in the States Payback is present in these flashbacks and we see Mallory meet Stan Edgar Mallory catches black noir and Stan having a conversation and noir has his mask off back in modern times Homelander meets with starlight and Ashley about adding members of the seven Homelander recommends adding deep back, but that makes starlight uncomfortable due to their history from the pilot episode Starlight tries to blackmail homelander over the flight crash footage and he tells her to do it because he'll just terrorize America in return Butcher is still have is still having bad effects from those 24 hours of suit powers You're still you're shown starlight calling Huey and telling him about home letters insanity becoming worse Huey says they are on to something that can kill Homelander a train reunites with his family and it's told about Blue Hawks terror in the black community something that I've that that they use Very I directly and heavily to talk about black lives matter that current stuff and again all the current trends Political themes in this season are probably the most timely they've ever been So Butcher then goes back to the room where Mallory's flashback continues after an and Bush Mallory finds black noir with a disfigured face from the explosions explaining why his mask is always on Count Countess tells Mallory that the Russians killed soldier boy with this weapon and took his body This event is what seems to spark Mallory and started the boys to take out Vaughn. That's what I gathered That's just what I gathered. I might be wrong Butcher is mad about knowing how Mallory approached him years ago Ask him to join the boys after Becca was missing because Mallory was aware of this weapon the whole time Ryan and Butcher get into an argument before he and the boys leave Back at Vaughn international a dinner has had to celebrate deep return to the seven Homelander compels himself to Martin Luther King for how they were both vilified in the media He then says he's free at last because of his recent public meltdown The boys meet back up at their headquarters and French reveals He was being detained all day by little Nina an old Russian friend of Frenchies who is a major problem also for him This whole season Butcher says to set up a meeting with little Nina because he plans to go to Russia This of course, we involve trying to track down anything related to soldier boy Supersonic reveals to Starlight that he talked to the producers and he's sticking around Because Starlight stuck around for him when it got tough Butcher volments and Huey's face while they talk back on American hero Homelander and Starlight select Supersonic to join the seven the deep is then revealed as another selection on live TV in front of the Contestants, which they of course don't like because it's like, okay Well, why was I here? Homelander reveals that he and Starlight are in a relationship and then the hash light home light But of course that the hashtag home light is their cup couple tag I guess you will say that's their couple name So he starts saying to put out hashtag home light which I think of course will be something you start seeing in our actual World since this is a hit series But of course, it's all for the fan base watching the series Like how this episode ended to kind of highlight how things with again the media are not to be trusted even as far as reality TV Things can be staged things can be not as they appear They can be presented to you one way because they know how people will Respond to it if you can hit an emotional core like there's certain things I like how they're trying to commentate on the fact that the media certain things in place that we put up put Above ourselves is that oh, we need to listen to them. They know how we operate They observe us. They know what what makes us sad what will get us riled up and they Purposely will do things or might stage certain things to either make you happy make you talk make you upset do all these different things to just kind of get under your skin and Of course, they all have their own Agendas for it. They don't really seem to care about you I really love all the comments here that's going on so far with the political aspects here The home light stuff is going to be of course stuff that of course deals with Everything going into the future episodes and the future exposure of things with Vaught with homelander There's a lot to still come in this season so far for me in the season I did think the episode 3 was my favorite But then we got to episode 4 you got to episode 5 6 7 8 like just from here on out It just started getting more and more progressively compelling the season so far has been good But season season 3 episode 3's ending is just I think where I was like, okay This is this is taking some interesting directions and it just got better as the season progressed again There's going to be released week to week.
