THE BOYS SEASON 4 EPISODE 5 REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING - 4X5 - REVIEW

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Hey guys! Thank you for joining us for another episode of "The Boys"! We got some insane sequences this episode. The suped up animals creating absolute chaos was a fun watch.

When you mentioned that The Seven as "an evil Justice League", I immediately started thinking of the Crime Syndicate of America,which is the Earth 2 version of the JLA..They run the entire infrastructure of the country like the mob,with each member being a crime boss,and having their own houses,made up of a pyramid of criminal supers under them,called "made men"..I could see Homelander in Ultraman's (evil Superman) role as the Boss of All Bosses.

[@belekai2840]

Call me paranoid, but that V brought back his brain dead dad once, im not convinced he is dead. I sincerely doubt injecting him with somthing lethal would do the trick, i mean he is a supe now, and the whole episode was about the only thing that can kill supes, the virus. If whatever Hughie gave his dad really worked, why not give it to J̶o̶h̶n̶ (sorry) Homelander? Nah man, something's cooking here i can smell it :D

[@reduxmod9178]

Hi guys. You've probably been told about it a million times already but I got to recommend the film Watchmen. I think you'll both really enjoy it. x

I think the Jeffery dean Morgan character is not real, but illusion because no one else sees him.

[@derick_kakuru]

Loved this episode...

[@shanecampbell7423]

Despite literally crying for him in this episode, can we appreciate how much of a fucking boss Hughie has become?!?

[@redjack9999]

The puzzled look Sameer gives Butcher when he says "We're" going to patch you up is giving more credence to the theory that Kessler is only a figment of Butcher's imagination. Likely due to the parasite.

[@aaronbeatdown]

I think the idea is that his subconscious broke off into two, with Becca being the good part and Kessler being the asshole.

But what about carfentanil that Kessler gives to butcher ?

[@aaronbeatdown]

@@adeenalikhan7991 Butcher blacked out and then killed Ezekiel, so it's possible he's the one that got it but has no recollection of doing so. During that conversation though Kessler says "He's not gonna be real happy with us when he wakes up." What does he care? He doesn't know Ryan. He also says "And if he doesn't listen to us?" Why would he listen to Kessler over Homelander, guy's a stranger. Not saying its' concrete but I'm like 95% sure.

I really hate how they completely wrecked characters this season! I've said Frenchie, Starlight and now Hughie's father. He was too good of a man there is no way that he would harm a fly and they made him a bloody killer :(. Him having to kill his dad was very powerful, but I really wish that they did it a different way

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Simon Pegg’s and Jack Quaid’s performance during those scenes…my god…heartbreaking!

[@thehorrorcounselors4747]

After the last episode I thought to myself we are gonna get a whole new Homelander after his “Therapy session” with those scientists and boy was I right, he isn’t being held back by love and affection no more seeing as he realised that truly was he weakness that was taught to him since birth and now he’s going into full fledged god mode, it’s gonna get real scary from here on out.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

And the lessons he keeps teaching Ryan…scary stuff. The speech was chilling. The future is looking grim for “The Boys” if they don’t get a way to counterattack quick

The scene with Hughie really hit home for me, last year my Father passed away from a double-stroke and neither I or my sister got a chance to say goodbye. It was an extremely painful experience and we're still going through it, I cannot even describe some of these feelings as they're too painful to be expressed.

[@emilianaught]

I mainly know Simon Pegg from his comedy movies, so seeing him in such a serious role and completely nailing his performance was a treat. I hope he gets more serious roles in the future

The guy with Butcher at the end here, not the scientist but his old friend, he's definitely a figment of his imagination. That parasite is gonna take over Butcher eventually.

Sad to see Simon Pegg leave the show since is involvement with the whole franchise. In the original graphics novels, Hughie was actually taken from his likeness without permission. He filed a lawsuit but after reading them dropped it immediately and when on to voice the character in the animated series.

All in all, this episode was a combination of diabolical and heartbreaking. For hughie and his dad and how difficult it was, how profound it was to see his process of saying goodbye to his dad. And butcher with Edar, who couldn't anticipate that either!😁 And they will be inspired by the comics of the virus that will destroy the supers 😗

Dean Morgans character is definitely an imagination like becca. How he never interecats with anyone or we never see him "arrive" or no one notices him, the way Sameer looked that way at the last scene is just confirmation to me he was like "who the fuck are you talking to"

They really did a great job of showing what it would be like for someone with brain damage from a stroke to get super powers. After a stroke people are often confused, more emotional, and can lash out in anger. Kudos to the writers and Simon Pegg. Well done, even though it's heartbreaking.

[@vampyre_with_a_suntan]

As much as I love the show - and I really (really!) love the show - this season feels.. off, to some extent. It's not the political aspects, I'm absolutely fine with them leaning into it - and I'm not wholly sure it's the writing either.. at least not entirely - I think it's the pacing. Theres been a lot of those weird things happening like the JDM, Urban, Sameer scene at the end there - snatch-and-grab and sawed his leg off... when, how, and where did it go down? It's just presented as having happened and that's all she wrote. Unfortunately those weird pacing issues starts rubbing off on the characters as well after a while. It's just weird to me. S4 takes place like 5-6 months after the finale of S3.. but if you had told me that it's been 2-3 years, I wouldnt have had an argument to really refute that.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

We noticed a bit of that too. I think the most likely reason is time restrictions when it comes to the episode itself. I can guarantee they probably shot all of that but in order to keep it as close to an hour as possible it had to be left in the cutting room.

So far, you are the only Boys reactors who noticed and commented on Victoria angrily complaining at Edgar for being ashamed of her , and how that was basically a confirmation that what Homelander was telling her back in the third episode was true, or at least, was something that got to her.

Oh… the original Ultimate X-Men explored more of Kitty Pryde’s abilities. She rescues a captured Peter Parker by pulling an episode 1 Queen Maeve and stopping the transport dead in its tracks. Turns out her power is density control, not phasing. Of course, that world has been retconned out of existence now, so I guess it never happened.

[@jenniferhanses]

In regards to Starlight's fall from grace, I found it troublesome not that she was a mean girl who wanted to get better, but that story of the mother that she blinded. And it was like Starlight had no accountability for that. Like if that happened, I'd want to make sure that woman had money to cover her medical bills. Or if you want to make the argument that Starlight was 13 and wouldn't think like that, I would still want to visit and apologize and keep track of her because it was my fault (and then as I got older bill paying would occur to me). But not only does Starlight NOT do something like that, now that she's confronted with this issue, it seems like she hasn't thought about it a day in her life since. And instead of saying "oh, my God, she's right. I should do something about that" She starts making excuses to the other people at the table "I was only 13 and couldn't control my powers." And she doesn't even talk about doing anything NOW to make it right either. It's not her problem. Her only problem is everyone knows about it. Then we have her losing her mind over Firecracker. Because fighting Firecracker in a dark alley? Sure. Fighting her on stage during taping? No, no, no. It's as if everything else doesn't matter. Maybe Starlight and A Train need to have a talk, since he's on an upwards swing.
