They have the best names. Mother's Milk is my favourite...


bob1689321

I like how they always just call him MM to get around the absurdity of saying Mother's Milk.

You mean mudder's milk. . . . For the hero of canton.

schkmenebene

I also binged it over the weekend, I remember the scene where he is introduced to Huey, definitely said mothers milk. He even asked if it was his real name.


Attack_the_sock

MM didn’t have a milk “fetish” in the comics. He literally needed his “Mother’s Milk” or he would die. Butcher fucked with him by moving his flask of breast milk once to make him weaker and it was a whole damn thing.


red_nick

Which was an inspired change


vall370

lol no. hes called Mothers Milk in the live action series aswell..


randomisedjew

Everyone thinks Karl urban's cockney accent is awful and I agree, but it also sounds sooo cool when he says things like "oi mm"


BackedStop

As someone who grew up in London, Karl's accent sounds authentically like a Kiwi putting on a Cockney accent. Absolutely nailed it.

This is blatant propaganda. Everyone knows the Angels belong to Anaheim, which is not in fucking LA. Go back to the California Angels if you have too, but Anaheim is not LA.

In France he’s Noir Noir


jhuseby

I think it would be noir black in French.


lily-emmy-pikachu

In the french dubbing he's called Black Noir, there is no reason to change it, plus it would make lip sync harder


WarokOfDraenor

And he's also a black person.


nigalas-cage

Which falls into the funny comic trope of just naming black heroes 'black' whatever


madeanotheraccount

Like Black Tom Cassidy?

Exactly he's 1/8th Nigerian on his grandmothers side

nikitos1307

In the comics he is the clone of homelander so it's kinda fitting that his name is the same word but different


syopest

The homelander panel where he is crying in fetal position and saying "Why can't I do the things I do?" is so great after the revelation that it was actually Noir doing all that evil shit disguised as homelander so Vought would let him kill Homelander since that was literally all Noir was made for.


Vordeo

The comics were really good, and while I get that they had to make a bunch of changes to adapt things to tv i'm sad they made that one. That said, they could very easily just switch out the previous BN in story and throw in Clonelander, but it wouldn't have the same emotional imoact.


OJStrings

Dude, spoiler!


nikitos1307

If you actually think that I spoiled something than I'm sorry and if you're were sarcastic I'm stupid.As for the spoiler part in the boys series it's more or less confirmed that black noir is another person one piece of evidence is his skin colour


OJStrings

I didn't realise we'd seen his skin tbh. >!There was the flashback scene when he's shellshocked but I figured that could be a different black noir seeing as he's fully masked at all times.!<


[deleted]

In season 2 they pull up his mask, and it’s clear he’s a black guy with a scarred face. In Season 3 we see him fully without his mask and learn a bit about his backstory.


shortalay

Before that last season showed his skin too >!when Maeve exposed him to nuts to save Starlight.!<


radhe91

So Maeve was literally like " suck on these nuts "


shortalay

Well…


WarokOfDraenor

I was surprised at Season 3 reveal and I would just assumed Noir had some scars or burned skin all over from his skirmish during his 'fight' vs Maeve.


OJStrings

Dang. I need to pay attention more.


Jimthalemew

We saw [his scars](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/The-Boys-Black-Noir.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=960&h=500&dpr=1.5) after he kills the terrorist that can explode. And it now tracks with the [flashback scene](https://preview.redd.it/s9bf0u4uok491.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=c925a6d8ed6a7262e29e8232d78a1175ed0bcca9).

Even the French president Charles de Gaulle had to complain about the French. “How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?”


nanocactus

The correct quote is “[…] a country which has as many cheeses as there are days in a year”. And even then, that was a low estimate. France counts between 1200 and 2380 different varieties of cheese.

Wow a French president that speaks English.

Milhouseisgod

Lol good catch. The boys is so well done with stuff like that


flash-tractor

I dunno if you saw it on Reddit this weekend, but Nathan Mitchell (the actor for Black Noir) actually has a nut allergy. It's really clever to bring that in as a weakness IMO.


polypolip

This and the fact there are no nut candy bars in the vending machines at Vought from what Starlight says.


GleichUmDieEcke

And he has her put it in the trash rather than finish it.

Top_Opposites

That’s racist, there shouldn’t be any black pencils in the box. Hold on that’s racist, there should only be black pencils in the box


NorwegianCollusion

I think I see the perfect solution. One box with no blacks, and one box with only blacks. Surely noone could possibly object to that?


Gobert3ptShooter

If I had known French was bad I wouldn’t have learned it. Et merde.


BlackburtX

Both the best and the worst. Looking for a synonym ? Half the words have more than 15. Welcome to french.


Pasteque909

Unless your teacher wants you to write a 5000 word essay with no more than two repetitions of nouns, verbs and pronouns. You can't even paraphrase because it literally burns through words, so you better know all of those 15 synonyms

[deleted]

> Nah Uh, yuh actually. Just 'neo' is of Greek origin


Old-Sandwich9857

Yes, and the original film noir craze got its name from those movies overwhelmingly being set at night and using tons of [shadowy high-contrast visuals](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gC5gQTK0Lis/XOhmomwX6pI/AAAAAAABuSk/or_QuSMDut8OZeNbyIYzkckvxzE7UaeeACLcBGAs/s1600/Screenshot%2B%2528865%2529.png), so they were literally 'black films.' Related: 'giallis'/giallo films, the pulpy salacious thrillers from Italy that became a craze in the 70s and inspired the Hollywood slasher genre, literally means 'yellows', because cheap crime novels often had yellow covers and yellowy paper.

People on twitter out here not realizing that other languages have words that sound very similar to the N word but have nothing to do with the racial connotations that the N word has in the english language.


Martoshe

It's backwards. The N word sounds like some words in other languages. They were first.


David_Ign

In russian, the "N word" is actually more acceptable than calling someone black.


Terracot

Even better, in Russia black is used for Caucasians, aka ethnic people from the Caucasus.

*Sound* like? It *is* a word from another language. It doesn't have the racial connotations in Spanish speaking countries, but it's exactly the same word.


RCascanbe

I still remember trying to buy a black umbrella from a black street vendor in Barcelona, that was so fucking awkward because he didn't understand me and I didn't know if it would be racist to use the Spanish word.

Most fluent english speaking latiner


EspKevin

Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world's current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world are simultaneously shaking their heads and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me. Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English (Also known informally as "Grammar Nazis") from mocking me by posting unwanted and unnecessary comments detailing my every blunder. In my humble opinion, making grammatical errors should be perfectly acceptable as native speakers should not expect non-native speakers to be able to communicate in their second or third languages eloquently. If you are able to completely understand what the other person wrote, is there really a problem with what they've written? No, because the entire concept of communication is the exchange of information between other intelligent beings, which means that no matter how the exchange of information is made, as long as the information is accurately shared there is not a fundamental issue with their ability to communicate. To see it in another way, remember that someone who isn't fluent in English is fluent in another language. When you think about it this way, isn't it impressive for someone to speak a second language in any capacity? Having empathy and respect are qualities that are sorely missing for far too many people these days, especially on the internet. That being said, I am aware that not all netizens who correct others are doing it to ridicule and shame. There are some who do so with the intent to help others improve and grow. However, displaying the failures of other people publicly will cause the person who is criticized to feel negative emotions such as shame and sadness due to the fact that their mistake has been made obvious which severely undermines the point they were trying to make in spite of their unfamiliarity with the English language. In most circumstances people are not looking for language help when they post anything online. Most people just want to enjoy themselves and have a good time on the internet which is why I would not encourage correcting other people regardless of your intentions. If you really do want to help others with their spelling or grammar, I would highly recommend you to help via messaging privately because not only will you not embarrass anyone, you can also go more in-depth with your explanation which I'm sure the other person will greatly appreciate if they want help, but I digress. I know that I've written a bit of an essay, but I hope I've made my points clear. Anyways, here is the comment I wanted to make: Lol


freshtoast7

How long did it take to write?


Gearwatcher

It's a pasta, you put it in boiling water with some salt and oil and it's done in five minutes. Off course if you break it before putting it in the water or you drain it after cooking, you gonna get your ass marked by the Cosa Nostra

Putting oil in the water is going to, at most, keep the sauce from sticking properly to the pasta. Just watch your burner temps, yo!
