I'm Antony Starr and this is The Wired Complete Interview.
2
First question.
3
Tommy Nook, anyone else find themselves copying Homelander's mannerisms in a video?
4
That's actually interesting.
5
That was after a rally where I skip and I hallucinate my father.
6
That moment of me going,
7
has been my favorite meme.
8
A lot of memes have come out of this character in this show.
9
That's my favorite because people blew the cheeks up and it just became,
10
it went everywhere and it's so funny.
11
What a great mannerism role model Homelander is.
12
That's the only thing you should copy that that character does.
13
Kirby Brass.
14
What's the most fucked up thing Homelander did?
15
Wow.
16
I think the most fucked up thing Homelander did is in season five,
17
which I can't spoil, obviously.
18
I can't wait for you to see that.
19
But up to then, two things with planes,
20
waving to a little kid in a plane in episode one,
21
the last scene, and then lasering the plane in half and letting the child and his father plunge to their demise.
22
That was pretty bad.
23
And then another plane in episode four,
24
I think it was, season one,
25
was leaving a whole plane load of passengers to die.
26
Probably not great.
27
People bring up pushing the son off the roof.
28
I think that's good parenting.
29
See, I just think that that's like old school fathering when the kid falls over,
30
ah, yeah, your knee looks fine,
31
there's no blood, get on with it.
32
Plus, he knew that the kid had superpowers,
33
so he was gonna be all right.
34
So the kid learned a valuable lesson.
35
And I also thought the little squeal that Ryan,
36
the son Cameron made, as he went off the roof.
37
I think that's the hardest I laughed up to that point in the shock.
38
Calendar duel, 1487.
39
Fear of heights.
40
How do people with this phobia manage flying?
41
Ah, I think the more you do something,
42
the less afraid you get.
43
Having said that, I've been flying a lot lately
44
and I just flew in yesterday and there was a big bump and I grabbed the little old lady next to me.
45
I literally grabbed her arm because I don't like heights.
46
And I thought I'd dealt with it, but I haven't.
47
One of them shots, it was actually on Gen V, the spinoff series.
48
I had to fly in to the scene.
49
Didn't think about it.
50
Stunt guy goes, oh, yeah,
51
we're going to put you up on the ropes.
52
These little, like, piano wire,
53
thin wires that go onto the harness.
54
I never thought about that's a long way off the ground.
55
So they clipped me in,
56
harnessed me up about 40 feet up, which was halfway.
57
I started going, oh, this is not good.
58
And I started swearing a lot.
59
Fuck off.
60
I think it was 85 feet at the top.
61
And I was freaking out.
62
That was actually a moment that really enlightened me as to,
63
like I really do have a fear of heights that I didn't realize I had.
64
Look, I'm still here.
65
So I say go into it.
66
If you can, find ways to challenge that fear.
67
The Reason Seeker asks, Do you think there's any real humanity left in Homelander?
68
Or is he just a rabid animal?
69
Interesting choice of words.
70
I think there is humanity left in him,
71
and I think that is basically the character's main issue with himself.
72
If we look at Homelander as an inverted Superman,
73
his kryptonite has been his humanity.
74
He's always wanted to be rid of,
75
but unfortunately he can't because he is actually a man.
76
I can't think of what a redemption arc would look like for this character,
77
so I'm gonna say he's like 50-50 human and rabid animal.
78
Hi, I love this, asks,
79
will the boys be next to join the list of controversial,
80
some bad endings or provide a satisfying conclusion?
81
Has any show ever provided an ending that satisfies everyone?
82
I don't know that you can,
83
I think, you know, cause everyone's different and everyone wants different things,
84
but something just finished.
85
I won't say what, and nobody died.
86
I was scratching my head at the end going,
87
there's nowhere else to go.
88
This is the end of the run.
89
Kill some people.
90
As our boss, Eric has said,
91
don't get attached to any characters on this show because everyone's head is potentially on the block.
92
Jared MMS asks, does Homelander genuinely think he's a hero?
93
Yeah, you know, I think it is hard of hearts he knows
94
that some of the things he does seem to have bad consequences,
95
but I think in the moment as well,
96
he just acts on impulse.
97
I think he's so corrupted.
98
You know, bad people don't walk around thinking they're bad people.
99
They just walk around doing what they do because that's what they've learned to do to survive.
100
So I think, yeah, he probably does think he's a hero because since such a young age,
101
he's just been brainwashed into thinking that.
102
He also would prefer to be a god,
103
which is a little bit of a step up.
104
The Nice Titten Bar asks,
105
this is perhaps my favorite shot of Homelander in the entire series.
106
The emotion on his, my face makes you genuinely feel sorry for him
107
and it is a side we've never seen from him.
108
This is when potential love of his life stormfront,
109
she's blown up by Homelander's son.
110
And this is him coming across her charred remains.
111
Oh, well, first of all,
112
I think it's a very, it's a lovely shot.
113
And I think the slow-mo does a lot to sell the impact.
114
I would push back a little bit.
115
There's actually moments through the show when we do see a lot of weakness.
116
I think that's one of the things I love about the character is
117
that we've been able to go there
118
and really flesh it out to provide a reason for why he is what he is,
119
but it doesn't necessarily engender empathy, but we do understand.
120
And I think that makes it a much more compelling villain.
121
No amphibian 6039, any reason Hollywood psychopaths or villains drink milk,
122
and there's me drinking milk,
123
There's Hans Laude, was it?
124
From Inglorious Bastards.
125
The infamous Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men.
126
And then we've got Jean Reno from Leon and Malcolm McDowell and his droog accompaniment.
127
Why do they drink milk?
128
Good question.
129
Well, first of all, I would argue as well that at least Jean Reno,
130
even though he's a hitman in that movie,
131
he becomes the protector of this abused young girl.
132
So not necessarily a bad guy,
133
but he's a very tough guy and he's a hit man.
134
And I think, you know,
135
it's like, it's the thing about opposites.
136
You know, you've got the worst people with basically like such a childish little wholesome drink.
137
I mean, that's what you're taught as a child,
138
like glass of milk a day,
139
you know, it's good for your bones,
140
which I don't think it is.
141
Um, just saying broccoli's better.
142
I think it's that.
143
I think it's like the worst people drinking the most innocent, like childish drink.
144
And I think it just,
145
it's a good mix of opposites.
146
Under the wet stars.
147
Anthony Starr does so much with his face.
148
At every moment you can see the tiny nuances in Homelander's thoughts
149
and feelings evolving as rapidly and fluidly as in reality with a clip.
150
Yeah, that was just after I killed someone and got away with it.
151
This has been said a lot and I'm always like,
152
oh, very grateful to, it's a lovely thing to say.
153
I don't plan any of it.
154
I'm a nerd when it comes to the writing and the script and really working on the scenes,
155
getting everything super down so I know exactly what every line,
156
every moment means and then
157
throw that all away because that's all in there
158
and then just leave it to Beaver and and leave it up to the moment and see what happens.
159
Because you're also, you're never alone.
160
You're always reacting off someone else,
161
right unless 90% of the time anyway so it's all pretty spontaneous
162
and I think as long as you've got the thing the thoughts going on
163
if you're thinking as the character the this does the rest optimistic doc
164
that was fucking diabolical what was the scene
165
that made you think what the fuck and let's watch Carl with the laser baby What you learn, son? That was fucking diabolical.
166
What was the scene that made me think,
167
what the heck, what the fuck?
168
Actually, when in season four,
169
Firecracker had been taking hormones to produce breast milk,
170
and she reveals that to me by squirting some in my face.
171
And then in that moment,
172
I realize what she's done for me done for me
173
and the loyalty and devotion is something that really catches the character's heart.
174
We played it like a love scene.
175
You know, we both got a little misty and it was so delicate and nice.
176
You did this for me.
177
And it became so beautiful and like a lover's moment about the most ridiculous thing that we've shot in the show.
178
And I remember after one take,
179
just looking at Val going,
180
what the fuck are we doing?
181
That was the moment I was like,
182
I could have been a lawyer, an accountant.
183
I could have done anything and now this is how I'm earning my money.
184
Jada Communication.
185
Why do people even try to commit crimes in this universe?
186
Good point, really good point.
187
Again, if they didn't, we wouldn't have much of a show,
188
but I think it's human nature,
189
like people do bad things.
190
So I think wherever you take people,
191
there's gonna be a mix and there's always gonna be light and shade.
192
And I'm glad they do because we literally wouldn't have a show again.
193
Plenty Salary, 97001.
194
What is your favorite fight scene from the boys and why?
195
I haven't had a lot,
196
which is kind of great because I'm 50 years old and I don't like doing that shit anymore.
197
It's really hard on the body.
198
It would be when Soldier Boy and Butcher try and take me out.
199
That was great.
200
That was really fun.
201
Our stunt coordinator, John Koyama,
202
he's now won two Emmys for the show and he's brilliant.
203
It's tough because, you know,
204
we're not a Marvel, movie,
205
we don't have the money that they have.
206
So within that, there's a lot of different constraints.
207
So to be as creative as John is,
208
and create the sequences that he's created is just amazing.
209
But it was just a really cool,
210
fun fight, you know, with these great moments in between where my character doesn't realize
211
that Butch's character has superpowers now and it's like, what's wrong?
212
What, what, you should be dead.
213
And it was just really fun to do.
214
And Jack Quaid, who has a temporary superpower of he can teleport,
215
but in the teleportation process, he loses all clothes.
216
So he just turns up naked everywhere.
217
So he nakedly joins the fight.
218
So there's this very typical strain of humor in this very serious moment,
219
which is one of the hallmarks of the show.
220
I'm gonna mangle this name, apologize.
221
Ayruhi Jaglan.
222
Who is the most hated character on the show?
223
So we're seeing me, go figure.
224
Aya Cash that played Stormfront,
225
that was the season two girlfriend of Homelander.
226
The Deep, who's kind of an idiot.
227
And A-Train, he's like a pro athlete,
228
just trying to hold onto his career as he goes into decline.
229
So the most hated character on the show,
230
I think the lovely human being Aya Cash that played Stormfront,
231
she got a lot of hate,
232
which means one, she did a fantastic job,
233
two, the character was a seasoned antagonist,
234
so it was perfect, three,
235
she got blown up at the end and that's the best thing that could happen to a Nazi,
236
so it's Rye Guy 24.
237
Can we just talk about for a second how fucking spot on the casting of this TV show is?
238
I actually agree.
239
I think it's been really well cast.
240
Interestingly, they got two people from New Zealand to play,
241
a guy from England and a guy from America, so thanks.
242
Is there any casting where you're like,
243
wow, this person brought something to the script that I didn't see in the script?
244
Maybe Chase Crawford, who plays The Deep.
245
Like, I didn't expect him to be quite so funny.
246
Every time we're doing a scene,
247
like I can barely get through it when we're doing his coverage
248
because he goes off script a lot and adds and subtracts and he's just hysterical.
249
Aside from them being perfectly cast for their characters,
250
everyone across the board, just a really great bunch of people.
251
You know, when I came on,
252
Eric said he had a no asshole policy and it's 100% right.
253
And so it's been really great.
254
We've had five seasons over eight years.
255
And as we go around doing the press for this last season,
256
catching up with everyone and getting to say goodbye to each other
257
and the show that's been such a big part of our lives has just been amazing.
258
Secret, Wajian man?
259
New to the show, but why doesn't Homelander just kill the boys?
260
Well, then we don't have a show.
261
That would be like a five minute YouTube clip.
262
They've come to blows a few times over the seasons,
263
but you know, we're in season five,
264
so who knows what will happen?
265
But what I will say is nothing is gonna be left to the imagination,
266
so good shit to look forward to.
267
Nightforce asks, I believe in the boys,
268
Butcher is the real villain,
269
and Homelander is not a villain.
270
Amen.
271
What I would say is that if he's not the villain,
272
he is a serial killer.
273
I don't really think you could debate whether Homie's the bad guy or not.
274
It's pretty clear Homelander's the bad guy and Butch is not a great guy,
275
but at least he's got his heart's in the right place and he's trying to do the right thing.
276
Just the wrong way.
277
QuirkyData, 3,500.
278
What makes Homelander one of the greatest villains in television?
279
Oh, that's kind of you.
280
I don't know if I can answer that because it's weird talking about yourself in that context.
281
But what I would say is what makes him compelling.
282
I think one of the things that we've tried to do since day one is not go for the mustache twirly villain,
283
really tried to go into the backstory and explain why he is who he is and what he is.
284
And I think people find that compelling.
285
It's a lot more complex than superheroes,
286
I'm gonna say used to be because I think audiences now expect a lot more from a villain, you know.
287
My favorite villain, and keep mentioning Marvel,
288
but my favorite villain of recent memory is Thanos because I think he was doing a horrific thing,
289
but he had such a good philosophy behind it about like balancing the universe.
290
And there's a little part of me that's like,
291
he's got a pretty good point, you know.
292
I don't think Homelander has anywhere near the same philosophy or intention,
293
but you know, the point being,
294
like, he's complex, you know,
295
there's more to him than just the bad guy.
296
And I think people respond to that.
297
ImprovementThin235.
298
What would be Homelander's ideal in fantasy world where he can truly do whatever the fuck he wants?
299
Ooh.
300
Well, the character, you know,
301
has threatened from quite a long time ago that he'll just end the world and kill everyone.
302
But then the one thing that he craves is love and adoration.
303
So difficult to know where that would sit.
304
set.
305
I don't think there is one.
306
I really don't because, um,
307
because of that contradiction and,
308
and who he is as again,
309
like his humanity is, is kryptonite.
310
So he desperately needs people,
311
but hates the humanity in himself.
312
That's, that's the dilemma for him is
313
that he will never get what he wants because he can never accept his own truth.
314
Okay guys, That's all the questions I got.
315
I learned a lot, and I hope you learned a little something, too.

Durch die Interaktion mit derartigen Inhalten können Lernende ihre mündlichen Fähigkeiten verbessern, während sie gleichzeitig Einblicke in umgangssprachliche und kulturelle Aspekte des Englischen erhalten.
Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext
In dem Video verwendet Antony Starr verschiedene sprachliche Strukturen, die nützlich für Lernende sind:
- Fragen stellen: Die Art und Weise, wie Fragen formuliert werden, ist entscheidend. Beispielsweise: „Was ist das Verrückteste, was Homelander getan hat?“ Dies zeigt, wie man Neugier ausdrückt und Diskussionen anregt.
- Verwendung von Vergangenheitsformen: Starr spricht über Ereignisse in der Vergangenheit, was den Lernenden hilft, die korrekte Verwendung der Vergangenheit im Gespräch zu üben. Sätze wie „Ich habe viel geflogen“ ermutigen zur Bildung eigener Sätze.
- Umgangssprache: Durch die Verwendung von Ausdrücken wie „nicht großartig“ oder „echt verrückt“ lernen Lernende alltägliche, informelle Sprache kennen, die in Gesprächen häufig verwendet wird.
Häufige Aussprachfallen
Einige Wörter und Ausdrücke in diesem Video können für Lernende eine Herausforderung darstellen. Beispielsweise:
- „superpowers“ – Das Wort wird oft zu schnell ausgesprochen, was zu Missverständnissen führen kann. Eine langsame und deutliche Aussprache ist wichtig, um die Klarheit zu gewährleisten.
- „mannerisms“ – Die Betonung liegt auf der zweiten Silbe, was nicht intuitiv sein kann. Es ist hilfreich, dieses Wort im Englisch Shadowing zu wiederholen, um die richtige Aussprache zu verinnerlichen.
- „phobia“ – Oft wird das „o“ in der Mitte überhört. Eine klare Aussprache ist essentielle, um Missverständnisse zu vermeiden.
Indem Sie diese Aspekte in Ihre Übungen einbeziehen, können Sie Ihre Englische Aussprache verbessern und effektiver mit anderen in Kontakt treten. Nutzen Sie das Video, um Ihre Fähigkeiten im Englisch lernen mit YouTube zu erweitern und die Aussprache zu perfektionieren.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
