Agree with most people here that it was a great ending to the episode, sets up next season really well. The previous episodes in the season were weak though.
Television The Boys
- Thread starter marukomu
- Start date
I'm forgetting whom some of the characters were. Who was the agent guy that Butcher was imagining, I don't recall him at all. And who was the lady, aunt something, that Ryan killed at the end. How is she related to him?
The first was someone from Butcher's past. Grace has been in several episodes. Did you actually watch the show?
Yes but I forget a lot
Jesus dude. My memory is terrible but she's been in it all along, on and off. She featured most heavily in S2 but I checked and she's been in 13 episodes.
The seasons are released what, every two years? If you don't do a rewatch and your memories already bad, I can imagine her being forgettable tbf.
I suppose. Now that you mention it I realise I only started watching it in the last 6 months so didn't have a huge break at all.
Good finale, sets up the final season nicely. Overall this season was the worst one though.
Just finished off and agree with the general sentiment. Strong ending to the weakest season yet, looking forward to more Gen V action too.
I'd say it was only the weakest season because it had to spin its wheels a bit to set up the series finale season. The writing, acting, comedy, suspense, etc were as great as usually but some plot lines had to drag a bit. It's not like a later season Dexter or Prison Break or Sons of Anarchy or sadly, GoT
She was Aunt in name only. She took on hiding him after the boys rescued him. Ex boss of the boys but appears they split after her grand children were killed by a sup that the boys (frenchie) were supposed to be tracking. Think that's it anyway!
Thanks!
I'll have to rewatch the older seasons as I don't remember this bit and I find it interesting to the plot
Starlight giving Hughie shit for sleeping with the clone was bullshit too. It was her with all her memories and everything! How could he have known?
I think it was more a case of her being angry that he seemed to prefer that version of Starlight, after he was drifting apart from the real one. But his response to that was that he eventually realised it wasn’t her because she lacked all the imperfections he loved about her.
I didn’t love this season but I actually liked how this bit was handled tbh. His smile after she told him he’d need to get checked for every STD was great.
Just finished this. The season lacked direction and the powers are now getting more and more inconsistent.
My thoughts:
My thoughts:
Butcher getting that power could be interesting but I wished it would change his horrible accent
Frenchie clearly asked the showrunners that he wants to snog the beautiful Kimiko and they agreed... Only if he has some Mano e Mano sex first
The shapeshift supe was wasted. Surely have that character take over one of the boys the whole season, make us believe there's a traitor in the group and then reveal it later?
I need to see Firecrackers boobies
I was confused with Tek Knight... It's he from gen v or something?
Decent ending and I look forward to finishing this off

just finished the finale
I only started the series a few weeks ago, felt like quite a huge drop off in quality in the last season
it's always been outrageous and gratuitous but for some reason just feels like they're trying too hard now or something
took me ages to realise Homelander is Lucas Hood for some reason ... it's so obvious when you see it!

Better stay out of this thread for a while.

Oh definitely stay out but it's very good. Enjoy!

he plays him the exact same only embracing the sadictic side more.She started the Boys to try and take down the supes. She recruited Butcher, MM, and Frenchie but quit when her grandchildren were killed.
Didn't you see his fist bump when she said your not giving me Shifter Syphilis.
Rewatching this and on S2 right now. The difference in quality of the first two to the latest is pretty vast.
Hopefully the setup for S5 will make for a strong finish. I am half expecting a bit of a drag for the first few episodes though, considering they all got captured and will likely spend time getting out and reconvening.

On S3 now this is pretty bonkers. Funny though.
Too many dicks.
They are really milking the tits off this, and it's going to go the way of The Walking Dead, just meaningless episode following meaningless episode, plus surprise shock death. And penises.
Agree to a point but that prequel could be decent… a dark Cap America/Red Skull type thing
Maybe, but it's hard to do a prequel to a show that already is rudderless, because we "know the ending" and they've been spinning their wheels for at least an entire season (if not two). I doubt it's like House of the Dragons (dragon house?), where it takes place in a whole different age, but who knows. Aya Cash was absolutely the worst thing about that season, though.
Watched the first 4-5 episodes of this season and it is beyond awful, to the point of probably not bothering to continue watching. This is a shame cause the first two seasons were phenomenal and the third season was in parts even better, albeit by the end of it not much has changed since the beginning.
But this one is basically Dexter 5-8 or GoT 7-8 level of fall from grace.

Aye, and the teaser at the end, if they carry on this seasons form they will probably waste, wait, don't read this
Soldier Boy's return
The Deep and New Black Noir being Dude, wheres my car level eejits was probably the best part of this season.
Coward.
I meant to write, "one can never have Too many dicks."
Yeah, it's bad. I will say that the VFX and gore SFX are amazing. Antony Starr is still carrying this whole show on his shoulders, but the whole show has lost any semblance of a plot, and now it's about how many shocking images can they cram into an episode.
Crazy girl logic.
Like when your missus gets mad at you because she dreamed that you cheated on her.
I had an ex like that
To be fair to her she would tell me to give her a little while because that's what had happened and she knew it was dumb and would laugh at herself over it.
Got the S4 finale to watch tonight. Have enjoyed this overall and it seems it keeps ramping up the silliness.
Good fun though.
Good fun though.
this went from mostly serious action show with occasional silliness, to a mostly silly show that is occasionally serious. the plot itself is non-existent at this point and it's all about concealing that simple fact with shock scenes. meaning, there are more farts, jerking, pissing and ass fecking jokes plus octopus, Frenchy and that silly secretary scenes than the actual superhero stuff from previous three seasons.
it's still The Boys so I'm watching it regardless, but it declined soooooo much compared to the previous seasons. watching Homelander vs Soldier Boy scenes at the end of the S3 and awaiting more of that, but only getting farts in the end... come on.

I agree with all of this. I finished season 4 last night. The shock scenes are like being bludgeoned repeatedly. The Deep screwing his octopus girlfriend, Pegg materializing in people and having them burst, Homelander ripping a dude in half, the entire Tek Knight dungeon scene, just on and on.
How did Butcher end up killing Neumann when Homeland's lasers didn't even smear her makeup?
I also feel that for the next and final season they are going to
present Ryan as basically The Omen and The Boys From Brazil combined into one. The way he killed the woman who had looked after him, his smile when the assistant slapped the shit out of the director, he's a sadist. I wonder if they're going to somehow kill Homelander in the next season only for Ryan to emerge at the end as an ever greater threat.
Don't forget Soldier Boy has to fit into all this too.
Was kinda bummed about Neumann, great character.
