How poetic would it be if Soldier Boy and Ryan teamed up to kill Homelander. His family, the one thing he desperately wanted, leads to his demise. The irony would be comical

[@CherryJuli]

They were kind of hinting at Ryan becoming like his father.

[@ObsidianKingSlade]

Mallory couldve done this, Obviously ryan isnt ready yet, but with soldier boys helo they could get it done easy. Mallory knew about soldierboy, idk why she pretends he isnt an option. Especially with the perfect offer of soldier boy getting to raise a son he always wanted, assuming butcher dies. Mallory was a clown this episode, Its sad to see her fall from grace, literally. Especially with her prior knowledge and experience.

[@mikailamod6831]

That would be the best ending. Soldier boy gets a redemption arc and raise a son, HL story comes full circle and Butcher keeps his promise to Becca

Butcher is having his villain arc after witnessing his Ryan kill Grace. He has lost hope and accepted the imaginary Kessler in him. He was awakened, ready for chaos.

[@forensikarie]

Are we sure that Grace is dead? In The Boys, if someone doesn't die in the most horrible way, they're usually not dead lol

[@merlin5662]

i doubt it was butcher after grace was dead, to me it was very clear that keester was right according to butcher, but butcher was on the brink of death (literally). however when we seeing him after that, he is all cleaned up, his eyes aren't bloodshot, and now can use the supe powers. this isn't butchers villian arc, it is literally the death of butcher and now its kessler (as seen in the final shot with butcher in the car)

[@Thefrayenters]

Villain arc.. 😂 Yall say anything.. Butcher.. was never the Hero

He's not a villain; he right. Did you read the comics? Supes are "bad product" no matter what.

[@Heisenburger42008]

[@johnelmartagbago3764]

I love how S4 flipped the story of the comics: - Newman is the one who died, not the president - Superheroes were legally put in the position of power, instead of coup - Homelander actually got in his position at the end for the same reason, instead of just mindlessly taking over the White House.

[@rudrathakore]

Newman died in comics after becoming president here Newman died before becoming president

[@rgloria40]

This is where the story of the BOY commentary on satire diverts to real life since Trump's assassination attempt by the Democrats and Biden indicating his involvement to place a "Bullseye" on Trump (Biden statement on July 8, 2024). I hope the Boys writer can realign the satire story line to present and future prediction of the 2024 US elections. ...Or they can pull a Mandella Effect.

So the girl whispered something secret about Frenchie, so Frenchie agreed to go with him similarly like hughie in another scene.

I'm not mad at Butcher for chosing to go tumor monster after having witnessed his wife's assault baby casually kill the one person alive who treated him as his own

[@theboard3476]

I agree. They play on Ryan’s child innocence way too much to explain his actions. But if he could literally kill the closest person to him other than his mother and with no remorse? Yeah idk about that. It is expected for children to get violent when upset/confused, but Ryan’s at an age where anyone would expect him to start to get a grip on it. Especially since he knows he’s a Supe. He’s just way too much of a liability at this point.

[@ToddToTheBlack]

I feel bad for Ryan, he's a victim, actually they all are. But it's gotten old with Ryan and his tantrums and "Not knowing his own strength" He's killed too many people, including his own mother.

[@ToddToTheBlack]

@@ron4293 Yeh, big question, is he going back to homelander, which more than likely will be the case, or will he just run off.

I’m gonna be honest I really don’t like how sage is written, her super intelligence isn’t written like she’s super smart but rather like she could see the future, like how did she know any of these very specific things were going to happen, like the boys killing nueman.

[@ninjaeddy1717]

My take is that she didn’t know any of it would happen, she just acts like she knew.

[@mon_nobi]

Of course she knew, it makes sense that Neumann would be a defiant patsy and that the Boys would get caught on camera conspiring with Singer to kill Nuemann, so it makes sense that all of the ending outcome was according to her plans. My only issue is I wish they made it more clear whether or not it was also part of her plan to get shot by MM. Cuz I feel like when she's dumb she's not aware or in control but otherwise she was always aware and in control.

[@diany3061]

I mean, is very difficult to write a super intelligent character when you are limited to your own intelligence, i can understand why she was poorly executed tbh

[@ashley.taylor174]

Here we go. There’s always a hater. 🙄

[@axeyaxe938]

Yeah, sometimes a super intelligent character is written as if intelligence is a superpower (pardon the irony). Sherlock Holmes was originally a very intelligent consulting detective who used deduction and experimentation to figure out the mystery, but later renditions turn him into basically a clairvoyant. It's lazy writing by dumb people who perceive intelligence as a natural talent or a gift, rather than something that requires years and years of hard work.

[@gluesnifferr]

I think starlight can harness energy directly from the sun now, her powers seem to get buffed every season

[@guythatlovespotato]

Homelander and Soldier Boy are similar. They seek validation to their father, Soldier Boy's origin and why he became supe is because he wants the attention of his father, he wants his father to be proud of him, but his father is not happy cos he "cheated" his way through it by being a supe.

[@mhm5443]

Soldier Boy will be the TV version of Black Noir/Homelander from the comics.

This is unlikely to be explored, but I wonder how other countries in The Boys' universe reacted to the USA's sudden turn with their Supes. Having Supes as celebrities is one thing, them becoming part of their government and armed forces is another. Would NATO and Europe be affected with this sudden change in the US? What about Russia and China, as well as other major countries like India, Japan, Brazil, etc. Would nukes become more important to deter the Supes? Russia and the USSR had been experimenting on Soldier Boy for decades. And Stan mentioned back in Season 2 Episode 1 how they'd need a codename for Compound V so that China doesn't find out. With how Compound V was leaked back in Season 2, I wouldn't be surprised if other major countries, somehow, covertly, managed to get their hands on Compound V at some point during Seasons 2-4, and are keeping this secret until they manage to reproduce this themselves, or are simply waiting for the right time to reveal this as a deterrent.

[@Jdmenendez22]

Ironically most American commentaries have the same issue of thinking they're the only country on earth. You'd think more would criticize that but I've seen Monument Mythos. I'm not hoping for other countries being mentioned

[@Tonylaces]

I read somewhere that some spin-off series are being considered, where supes are in other countries. Maybe, after what happened at the end of this season, they will talk more about what other countries are saying about the US with supes in charge!

[@Lucas-g5e8b]

i think other countries dont have many supes V is made by vought and used in american soil, all international supes we saw in the show were also made by vought/homelander to function as terrorists, it's fair to assume usa constrols 99.9% of the supes

[@Familiop]

I think that's the reason of why they are making THE BOYS mexico, probably to explore the F up world of the boys after homelander takes the president.

[@canaan5337]

The Russians had soldier boy since the 80s. I’m sure they’ve been trying to figure out how to make compound V for the past 40 years.

[@siwonton284]

I think there might be something to be said about how the Ved up parasite seemed to acknowledge Kimiko and Starlight, but did not attack them. Seems maybe Butcher is fighting the kill all supes mentality that Kessler is bringing. He'll probably fail resisting him though in season 5, and go scorched earth. Cannot wait for the last season. I was little upset with how they were handling Hughie getting sexually assaulted literally every other episode but I think Annie's reaction is somewhat realistic. Initial shock and being upset, and then literally two scenes later she's like 'yeah I shouldn't be upset at him how could he have known.'

[@anonymususer1728]

@siwonton284 "I think Annie's reaction is somewhat realistic. Initial shock and being upset, and then literally two scenes later she's like 'yeah I shouldn't be upset at him how could he have known.'

[@lacrartezorok4975]

1) You forget that in the comic Butcher goes full villain and makes Hughie kill him. I think that's an appropriate finale for the series. 2) Ryan arc reminds me a lot at the one of Jack from Supernatural (a show created by Eric Kripke, The Boys' show runner). He was the son of Lucifer (and played by the same actor who played Rufus in Generation V) but always preferred being with the Winchesters. After accidentally killing Mary Winchester, God (yes, that one) intended that Dean (Jensen Ackles character) killed him in vengeance, but he refused, and in the end Jack was the one who defeated God, took his power and his place as an actually empathetic ruler of all creation.

She's sick in the head man. She's smiling ear to ear when homelander tells the deep to do what he made starlight do to himself. And she got her ex killed because he dumped her (he's an awful human too). Not to mention all the things she's witnessed from her time as CEO and saying nothing .... Daredevil wannabe having his ears burst, the coverups of sexual assaults against starlight...etc. Then in the final episode she writes of an execution list for her own coworkers and doesn't warn anyone

season 4 was some of the best television ive ever seen in my entire life. truly incredible stuff. left me totally speachless by the end. great recap!

[@carsarescary]

I think Soldier Boy is going to depower and unintentionally cure Butcher. Soldier Boy doesn't just burn the Compound V out of people but also emits high level of radiation, which tends to kill damaged cells faster than healthy ones; basically Soldier Boy is going to be the unintentional chemo treatment for Butcher. If Butcher's cancer was in full defensive mode, fully exposed while making Butcher more durable then he could survive some of the blast. This would leave things up in the air for who would actually deal with Homelander.

[@km_1911]

One correction I wanted to point out. Ashley didn’t knowingly do that to Hughie. They thought it was Web Weaver, who would have otherwise fully consented to what they were doing. Ashley is way closer to being good than not imo.

[@mon_nobi]

She's actually been one of my favs this season, she is terrible but only because she's a terrified person who happened to girl boss her way into a tough spot at one of the worst places to work ever. She acts like a shallow mean obsequious person with crazy dominatrix kinks but her true nature is that she fires people she likes to keep them safe, hides evidence in order to protect people, and is generally reacting like any sane person would in an insane environment.

[@rauf4436]

You know, I have a theory about Ashley's powers. It probably won't be some kind of superpower or mutation, as far as I'm concerned it could be high intelligence. Introducing a persona like Sage is cheating, and how do you beat a persona like that? That's right, another cheater character. Ashley I think is perfect for this role, because before they have already had snacks with Sage and this accumulated hatred 100% will force against Sage in the battle of intellects. It's just absurd really, what we saw was Sage's plan, then it makes more sense to pit an equally intelligent character against her in season 5.
