Crazy that they can weave together so many character arcs that bang this hard. Hopefully Frenchie stays in jail Im sick of his ass

[@stormtraitor6545]

I hate to say it, but yeah, Frenchie has been reduced to nothing at this stage. Kind of like Finn in Rise of Skywalker.

agreed lol

"You either die a villain or you live long enough to see yourself become the hero."

[@nail_HK]

the scene with the boy and A-Train might be my favorite in the whole series so far

[@spottedslash4256]

It's a genuine Hero moment. Those hope filled eyes from that kid will do it .

[@darianlewis6837]

Batman: One Night Always Makes The Difference A-Train: I now know what you mean

[@YasharelYahawadah]

1:35 Take note Homelander cult...this is what it looks and feels like to be a real hero.

[@cultureofignorance4410]

Shit made a gangsta tear up, not gonna lie. Lmao

[@melkroll6962]

Bro I know. I got a bad feeling it’s not going to end well and I’m not ready for it

[@lukedaykin2067]

A-Train has quickly gone from one of my most hated characters of all time to one of my favorite. What a character development arc he has gone through and the actor is superb.

[@noncloud8965]

This scene is so freaking lovely, i'll never forget this.

[@nicktroisi6347]

“Y’know when I carried your ass to the ER, there was a kid there. His eyes were like “Holy shit!”. Looking at me, like I was a hero. None of this screaming fans, no cameras, nobody even knew. Except for this one kid. That felt better than *anything* that I had done at Vought, because for once I didn’t hate myself”

[@kishanbhatt1206]

Probably one of the most satisfying and heartwarming scenes in this series

[@tonyspro]

This was hands down the best episode of the boys thus far, plus the whole “kimiko communicating through book covers” is genius and well shot

[@WJen8]

That kid was incredibly important to bringing A-Train's redemption full circle 👌

[@RYSHU20]

That part with the kid and A-Train was arguably the most wholesome scene in the entire show A-Train might be redeemed but i think he'll die

[@kcbm225]

I love how kimiko can find the exact book titles she needs to communicate. It's not like Sage had a pen and book before they entered the room

[@marianodiaz2946]

That smile worthed more than all the millions and sponsors A train had in his whole life

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

A-Train finally got to be a hero and he loves it, but at the cost of his safety and probably his life. This is the price you pay to be a real hero.

[@av-vl5nf]

The first dude to start off the entire show is the first one to actually be a superhero? I dig it

[@fatesquadron2332]

I like that in this adaptation they actually made A-Train a normal character and not a impeccable douche that gets somehow kidnapped by Butcher and killed in the next panel.

[@aaronbarroso494]

Looks like a train gets to live to see another season. Neuman won’t tho

[@kokorice123]

A-Train acting like a true 'Redeeming character that dies at the end' 😂

[@dispater101]

They really giving A-Train an "Enjoy while he's still here" amount of screentime...brother is def taking a sabbatical soon

[@aeric_]

A-Train literally carrying this season on his shoulders.

[@TheeUnkillableCat]

First time someone was ACTUALLY a hero in the boys

[@Jancker8]

Annie is a hero too

[@MuLt0]

maeve too

[@Hyarakg]

​@@MuLt0she not😂

[@TheeUnkillableCat]

@@Jancker8 Flickering lights to "intimidate" people don't do shit, plus It takes a whole month to charge up and shoot and anyone can just close their eyes

[@lunavioleta001]

​@@TheeUnkillableCatShe saved a person from being violated and saving Hughie and the rest of the boys in season 1. Unfortunately, on screen she mostly focuses on how to take down Voight.

[@k1rb0i]

A-Train finally understanding the feeling to being a hero. A REAL HERO.

[@blankblank6919]

This is probably A train’a first time saving someone and have it being acknowledged, no acting or cameras

[@sentientmango3259]

That slowly spreading smile from disbelief to sheer joy was beautiful :')

[@tylerwigington3333]

Hands down one of my all time favorite scenes from this season, just those two giving each other that smile goes such a long way! The writers knew exactly what they were doing!

[@masterzombie161]

I’m very glad that for once he got to know what it’s like to be a hero to someone. That’s something even in the recent Marvel movies fail to have.

[@benkirkman1866]

I loved this. Probably the first time someone has looked at him as a hero and not just as a celebrity and you can tell it felt good for A train

[@jennaaaxoxo]

A-Train is just getting better and better in each episode, his king era. 🙌🙏👏🎉

[@rayanaccorsini]

1:36 The moment you see your life flash right before your eyes. Every decision that led up to this moment, and a single question rear its head into your mind: "What if...?"

[@Paladin_Lawbro]

Please, let this man survive. I’d love to see him get to be a hero for more than like 3 episodes

[@mindgames9980]

something about 1:20-1:40 that just hits you right in the feels

[@agidokiyt2164]

he is the first seven member with actual redemption arc. Maeve was already decent since S1, especially Starlight too.

[@CatChaos369]

Aw that kids reaction was so well done a small scene that carried so much well done to both actors!

[@mridulmahajan978]

His smile at the end was the best part of the whole episode

[@Legendarial]

when the boys has been roasting superhero culture for so long that I've genuinely forgotten how a superhero scene done well can be so wholesome and impactful until this scene like in a world where cynicism seems to be the rightful dominant attitude i'm grateful that the boys writers show that people can still do genuine good in a corrupted world

[@the_simple_editor]

he finally got that second real save

[@juantony]

That boy’s smile, the purest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

[@smileyheadshot]

Saved the last 3 episodes to watch for tonight and I really enjoyed this… perfect moment for a-train

[@andyhorbort969]

This was genuinely sweet to see, at least A Train will die a real hero

[@tedflanc1024]

Now A-Train finally knows what it’s like to be a real hero and how people will look at him differently!!!

[@Shuffles_Art]

I’m so happy to see how far A-train’s come since the start of the show, you’d kinda assume that he was supposed to be some sort of big bad considering his connection with Hughie, but really all of that’s in the past now and it’s really given A-train the opportunity to really make up for what he’s done and become a true superhero. Just that small scene of that kid looking over at A-train and him smiling like that is some of the most wholesome subtle character writing that this show has had so far and I’m so happy to see where it’ll go from here.

[@Repudiate]

His character progressing bit by bit is what makes it so satisfying and believable. It really reminds me of Zuko's redemption arc, A-Train's Iroh being his brother.

[@giorgiobedolla]

Nah, I'd say that MM is A-Train's Iroh.

[@Repudiate]

​@@giorgiobedolla Well A Train's brother has been there since the beginning, always steering him towards good, despite A Train consistently choosing the bad route. There's even more similarities now that I think about it.

[@JRF1004]

One of the most beautiful scenes in the whole show :(
