I agree that Ryan is Homelander's last tether to humanity, but what happens when Homelander realizes that is what's keeping him "human" wouldn't Homelander then go after Ryan? Then there is also the twisted biblical parody of God sacrificing his only son. I think that Butcher will see Homelander about to kill Ryan, sacrifice himself and in the aftermath Ryan will snap out of it and kill/neutralize Homelander. This season has seen a lot of MM learning how to be a more effective leader, so I think that he is the natural successor to Butcher. Starlight will get her powers back when she stops caring what people think about her and she starts making decisions based on her ethics, and not based who will think she's right or wrong.

I think that's gonna backfire big time. Without really realising it, Homelander is teaching Ryan to punish people he believes to have done bad things. We still don't really know the upper levels of Ryans powers, just they're similar to Homelanders. Given Soldier Boy could neither fly or shoot lazers but his biological son Homelander can, it begs the question what can Ryan do that Homelander cant? What is Ryan, with his outspoken desire to help people who need help, going to do when he finds out his old man is the most evil entity on the planet?

I think Homelander is losing but wasnt expecting Ryan to be cruel and enjoy it, the kid nailed it. The two of them together are an unstoppable force, but i think the virus wont kill Ryan because he was born naturally super

[@begcoins]

Right because he doesn't have the V formula in his blood

[@MattchewX]

Homelander is a natural supe too, though, isn't he? Everyone thought Ryan was the first originally because up until Season 3 we didn't know Soldier Boy was Homelander's biological father and assumed he was also just given Compound V as a child.

[@ultimaweapon991]

​@@MattchewX technically speaking... no. He was injected with compound V while in the womb or something I believe.

[@SMLL-crow]

​@@ultimaweapon991 yes, homelander received V in utero, in the same way as sephiroth if you've played final fantasy 7, in both cases their dosage is more "pure/concentrated" and are more powerful then their fellows who were children or babies when given V ( or Genova cells ), but also both become unstable and harbor mommy issues after being raised in sterile controlled environments

[@kaddy2]

​​@@MattchewXHomelander was conceived as a supe much like Ryan, but also given more compound V to basically see what would happen there. He would have been born supe regardless but the extra V in development created a stronger then what for Vought was a typical supe. He's the strongest as he was technically exposed to more compound V vs the others with him as adults basically. They got it after birth. Born human, enhanced with V to become supes. Ryan also we don't actually know as much about him as we do now Homelander. We do not know if he like Homelander was exposed to more V in utero as we don't know too much about his back story until we actually met him on screen. We don't know if Ryan was exposed to more or if simply being born from such a strong supe means inherently he is the same sorta super supe as Homelander. We get hints he's the same super supe as Homelander, but as yet no confirmation and also no real... Natural born supes are potentially able to be at Homeland level or the like.

Like why are Blacks born in the U.S.A. who have never been to Africa "African-Americans" while Whites are "Americans" by default? Different terms denote different status. So we *know* it's not _equal_ status. How is it 'politically correct' then to refer to people as unequal? total contradiction. See? No one notices these things in real life.

[@drphot6050]

My guess too

[@BreakingDownMedia]

Okay so when butcher falls in the shower he thinks he’s reaching out to Becca, touches the shower. When he meets joe he daps him up and hugs him. I think that is to show he is an actual person. We don’t know what part of government joe is with in the tv show maybe he wants to stay under the boys nose. I think it’s more a line on home lander molding Ryan and joe molding butcher (editors note ep 6 of season 4 and I’m aware I’m wrong now by now but I still think it would’ve been a better narrative point if they did that. It kinda feels cheap to just say he wasn’t ever there)

[@Orchidreads]

That rabbit was a foreshadowing of what’s happening to butcher

[@AG-fg1uk]

Exactly. That sentient parasite is going to spill out his guts in the future when he is no longer useful to it. That's why it's manipulating him to take out Homelander and other supes. The sentient worm is playing chess and taking out all of its threats 😂

[@shahrukh31]

In that scene where Homelander has everyone bash Cameron, if you focus closely, he asks A Train to show his wrath, but in exchange, A Train hesitates. During this scene, Homelander and Sage's exchange reveals or at least hints they know about A Train. They both see A Train as the actual leak, and A Train is hesitant, which confirms any doubt Homelander might have. They both may be playing the longer game and may have planned something terrible for A Train and The Boys.

Oh, are there others? Just kidding, I of course watch WhoCulture and TrekCulture. But that's only because Charlie doesn't talk about those. But if anyone else talks about the stuff he does, the algorithm has never suggested any of them to me

The "Indian" in the RL anti-littering PSA was actually an Italian guy.

[@adrielneely7543]

correct me if I'm wrong but when Newman came into the room everyone's nose began to bleed except Stan..... She did that on purpose

[@ielohim2423]

Sister Sage knows A-Train is the leak. She just covered for him incase she needs someone to have her back against Firecracker or Homelander.

[@AchmedComedy_]

My theory is Sage knows it’s A train. She read that man like a book when she mentioned the leaks. That girl is weaving her web!!

[@reignman30]

She also said to A-Train, "that footage didn't just run itself out of crime analytics", as she looked at him sideways.

[@RealRustled]

I have a theory about the latest episode involving the interaction with the bunny and Butcher. (And a gripe) It seemed to me that the act of Butcher releasing the bunny might have been influenced by the parasite or V in an attempt to save itself. I believe that when Butcher found the dying bunny, it symbolized the parasite panicking as its host was dying, much like what happened with Butcher and Ezekiel. This led Butcher to recognize the parasite is his problem and responded by stomping on the bunny. I was really bothered by the team's struggle with the sheep when they had Neuman on the team in that episode. It seemed like an "easy" situation for them to get out of, especially given the severity of having one dose of the virus. Neuman has shown she doesn't need Line of Sight (LoS) or have problems with moving targets throughout the show. In that episode alone, she exhibited her powers without LoS in the lab and dealing with moving targets when the chicken attacked Stan and the target driving the vehicle Stan was in. The sheep walked in the barn slowly, noticed them, and screeched. It seemed unrealistic and forced for time and plot's sake that she didn't handle it differently. She could have just taken out the two instead of running away, risking everyone's lives going into the entire flock of them. This also gave a possibility for Butcher to do what he did with Sameer. Maybe I'm nitpicking but just seemed really inconsistent with the shows past. EDIT FOR SPELL CHECK ETC

[@adrianutter7278]

#20 was def Sage showing Tech Knight something in a journal/diary… they zoomed in to A-Train to show that he was worried that she was telling people he was the leak

The guy who plays the Native American in the real ad wasn't even native, he was an Italian actor 😂

[@r7ahtesham885]

That's the point It's making fun of how Hollywood does not take the natives seriously and just pretends they care What makes it worse is how when an actual native American complains about it, they usually don't have any form of native heritage at all

[@shaman8375]

It’s parody of Iron Eyes Cody, the ‘crying Indian’ in the 70s, where after he died, they found out he was Sicilian.

There's another deep-cut connection between Simon Pegg and Jar Jar Binks. In the TV show "Spaced" (which is certainly the first role I saw Pegg in, before SOTD), his character has such a issue with The Phantom Menace that he's been barred from every video (or possibly comic book?) shop in his area. It might even be the first episode.

[@Novakane78]

I believe Monkey is a hallucination. He knows too many intimate details about The Boys. He said things that I feel like only people in the team would know. Also, Sameer reacted to Butcher saying "us" like "what do you mean us? Its only you here and who are you looking at".

[@nuhwannnun]

i saw neuman's saving edgar more as she has nobody left and he's the only one she would have she can trust, so she freed him because her man "died" plays into the theme of everybody in this show being a narcissist

[@Sunstar808]

Great call on Kessler. As soon as you mentioned it, it makes total sense. 💡

[@Viltzu-hk5wh]

I think the specific words of "into the multiverse" comes from Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse due to both main characters being black. Ahh, racism is funny when it's just comedy. AHH NO... The Kessler theory makes so much sense, it's horrific. Looking back on those scenes with him... HE DOESN'T JUST INTERACT WITH NO OTHER PERSON, HE INTERACTS WITH NO OBJECT. He has not said anything but exactly what you'd expect butchers hallucination to say. It's 10.30pm so I can't really speak straight but man, if you look at those scenes you will not find anything but reasons for Kessler to be his imagination. He tries to make him the old bad butcher, make him do fucked up shit. Same things as Becca hallucination, just in a different way.

[@Anderson_Se7en]

If you notice the locked eyes of Sage and A-Train after all the blaxploitation pictures Vought was putting out you recognize that she sees how Vought is treating them because of their race and neither of them was cool with it. A lot was said in the look. A-train was like “if you’re so smart, how are you cool with this? Sage recognized it and was genuinely out of sorts. I think she knows A-Train is guilty of the leak but is building individuals around Homelander that can attempt to make a run at him.

[@NeoMatrixYT]

Fairly certain Butcher is going through a Fight Club + Akira scenario.

[@Grimstone]

The Jabberwocky is Hughie's dad. "Remember" song line plays in the background when Sage is leaving A-Train after suspecting him (dope), and the farm is a huge play on the book "Animal Farm," where the animals take over and ideaologies lead to the downfall of the farm.

[@caramellamccrea8344]

I can't wait for Butcher's new powers. I saw a leak about Butcher's power which is almost the same as Venom or ( something like Alex Mercer Prototype power thing ). Moreover, in the Marvel Universe, Eddie sometimes calls Venom something other than a symbiote (parasite), in accordance with The Boys Universe which also calls it a parasite, but in Prototype universe, they call it Virus.

[@SvenDoes]

I genuinely thought Frenchie said: "I cant believe this is happening again" because he might have seen smth like that when he was stoned.. 😂

The fact that the next episode falls on 4th of July gets me excited for next week 😂

[@bungalowfeuhler1541]

I got the impression that Sage helped Ashley set up her Sub as the leak, fully knowing that A-Train is the actual leak. Sage’s actual plan is bound to be a huge twist. She hates her powers, knows how much damage supes do, and can obviously see that she is enabling Homelander to do exactly what Stormfront wanted. A large part of her drive seems to be race-based. I suspect that she sees A-Train as someone who can truly work WITH HER.

[@Sk0p3rIII]

I already had a hunch that Hughies dad would have some problems as it was stated that he's virtually brain dead and was left to die by the doctors before getting V'd up by Daphne. I was sure that some brain damage must've been done and it couldn't be like "Oh look he's back! Everythings alright now!" and everything was right w him

[@andrewbloxon1495]

I think the hallucination Kessler theory is too on the nose for this show. They started showing us Becca and made it clear that she’s a hallucination, but they didn’t do it too quickly. They revealed her at the same time they revealed Kessler. The differences that most of Kessler scenes are alone with Butcher, whereas Becca just appears regardless of who Butchers around . he’s around other people. I think the misdirect here is that Kessler is a real character. He is a real person, the reason we haven’t seen him interacting with anyone else because he’s not supposed to. He and butcher are on a private investigation that he doesn’t wanna let anyone else know about. It seems like they were setting this up from the beginning they’re showing us Becca being a hallucination and tricking us with a lot of the same tactics as with Kessler. In this episode the ending of Samir looking over and having a confused face stands out to me as the biggest misdirect possible. I don’t think it’s him not SEEING anyone, I think it’s Samir not RECOGNIZING him because he wasn’t with the boys earlier.

After rewatching the last scene, (when they pulled up the house) it didn't look like there was anyone sitting on the passenger side... then it cuts to them getting out of the car... my prediction is when Butcher was fighting Ezekiel, the parasite sacrificed to save Butcher, killing the part of the parasite that manifests Becca... seeing how we haven't seen her since. And with that part of the parasite dead, Monkey is a stronger presence.
