YMMV / The Boys S 0207 Butcher Baker Candlestick Maker

• Crosses the Line Twice: Hughie has to chop off the deceased Lamplighter's hand so that he can still use it to bypass security. The kicker is when he frees Donna and she asks "is that a human hand?" as though he's holding a mildly unusual garden ornament.
• Harsher in Hindsight: One of the pornos that Lamplighter watches with Hughie involves Homelander having sex with another man’s wife while calling him a “cuck”. It stops being funny when you realize that this is probably how Homelander sees his rape of Becca, and that he sees Billy Butcher as a cuckold.
• Special Effect Failure: A self-immulated Lamplighter is clearly a mannequin, standing perfectly still even as he screams.
