History Awesome / TheBoys2019

* Hughie, through sheer force of will, chokes down a [[FreakOut panic attack]] on seeing A-Train in Seven Tower, shakes his hand, graciously accepts his apology, and proceeds with the mission (he bungles it later, but that had absolutely nothing to do with the giant brass balls he demonstrates in this moment).

** His 'Bad Product" line echoes the final words of his comic book counterpart. There, it was the first genuine sign of a VillainousBreakdown as even after successfully avoiding the fallout of Homelander's actions, Comicbook Edgar was forced to face the fact that superhumans, the marketing structure upon which Vought had built its empire, were inherently flawed as a concept and a bad idea that would eventually lead to inevitable ruin, and all his efforts to keep the company afloat would eventually be AllForNothing. Here, it's Edgar admitting the same thing... but thanks to Homelander ousting him, it's a personal ''triumph'' for him, as he has a valid reason to be excised from the oncoming disaster he can see coming plain as day. He lets Homelander know that it's truly NothingPersonal on his end because Edgar's brief humiliation will be ''nothing'' compared to Homelander's upcoming downfall. Edgar walks out with the last word, powerless in name but with all the control over himself and the situation that so defines Edgar, and which bring Homelander's own lack of self-control into sharp relief.

** And you know what else is incredible? The impeccable teamwork between Soldier Boy, Butcher, and Hughie despite the fact they didn’t plan this ahead of time. They’re all just that in sync. Soldier Boy was the tank, Butcher was offense, and Hughie was support. They knew their own strengths and played them off each other to a tee without planning for the subsequent fight ahead.

As a cynical and violent R-rated deconstruction of the superhero genre, ''Series/TheBoys2019'' is filled with awesome moments, from amazing fight sequences and clever plot twists within the series.
