Who's not making it out of the end of the season? Neuman, Butcher, Singer or A-Train? Let me know your thoughts!

Definitely Butcher, but I think something will happen he will not die

Neuman 100% Trailer spoiled it unfortunately

Well we know Butcher is going to get killed off sadly but I think possibly Neuman or Singer, A-Train's chip has been removed and he has possibly run away.

The new Noir this season is really interesting to me, he hasn't got much screen time but these little things that build up like sage doesn't lobotomise herself with him, he can fly and mainly his talk with the deep make me think they could be building him up to something. I feel like in the finale or next season he could take what deep said to heart and find out why Noir loved killing, finally understanding the old noir's motives and character (maybe even mentally connecting to the drawings he mentioned in ep 6). I could see Noir going on a rampage in the finale maybe even killing someone like Ashley or Frenchie (he probably isnt getting screentime if we're being fr)

[@EsoArcane]

Correction: Ashley swings back and forth between right and wrong. Starlight almost got her to help last season. She also deleted the footage of Maeve escaping. I'm also pretty sure she knew about the leak in crime analytics but just looked the other way.

My theory is that sage decided not to tell him after he lasered the assistant before she even had the time to say anything. She knew it was a necessary part of her plan but he had to not know because in every universe where he finds out it ends up wrecking the plan.

[@HeathThen]

Ashley's personality is quite clear in my opinion. Whenever someone bully her, she would find someone else to bully, continuing her endless abusive cycle. That is until Cameron Coleman's death. She now has no one to bully and she became broken. Is she redeeming herself? Probably not, she is, at her core, an abusive person being born from an abusive household.

[@khaoss4024]

Ashley isn’t really like that. Throughout the seasons it is clear that she has been stressed out and her rudeness came from that, but her domination kink stemmed from the fact that during those moments, she actually had control, when she hasn’t in years. I’m fairly certain she was never a killer, she just lived along them, and Cameron is the first person that she not only knew but was directly involved in getting him killed. And now she feels like she is just as bad as everyone else in the Seven.

Written on their hand dummy hihi

[@khaoss4024]

A couple things. I’m fairly certain the dirt on Neuman isn’t gone but in the wrong hands. Neumann wasn’t afraid to kill Hughie because of the evidence because she could’ve done that whenever she wanted but she still cherishes Hughie. Secondly Sage was never really able to predict Homelander. She couldn’t predict him showing up to her door, or him killing the lady with the glasses, or him killing Web Weaver, etc. and the person that Homelander can’t defeat without Sage’s help is actually Edgar. Stan Edgar is back and he is the one mastermind that can only be brought down by someone like Sage or Neuman

@@RyomenAyeni225 It doesn't say much new about either. We knew they both had screwed up pasts already. For Frenchie's storyline specifically, it felt like they made it just to write him out of the last episode because his actor wasn't able to shoot that day 😂. New information or not it's not interesting

[@understanding77]

Idk what you’re talking about, the scene where they share their traumas made me tear up a bit

[@cobrakaiworld23]

I wonder what Grace Mallory is planning to do with Soldier Boy

[@Collfuse]

I always thought under starlight skirt was safety short. Good to know it’s not lol

[@Jiraiyashouse666]

Yep, now more floating please.

[@datboygrimace5995]

you have not been paying close attention if you think ashley has never shown remorse or genuine terror to what has happened over the course of the series

[@isaiahmercado_]

A-train has been my favorite character this season. I loved how he saved starlight which is a parallel to when he killed Hughie's previous gf. I think A train is gonna save the day in the next episode as the boys' plan gets screwed up.

[@karandeepbadatch3390]

You said starlight merced, she got beat and was about to get killed until a train saved her

[@DvoTee-un9hw]

They make Homelander dumb for no reason he’s basically human lie detector along with sister Sage and Tech knight

[@blakelandry9313]

Also, in the first season, Homelander wasn’t an idiot. I don’t know why they changed his character.

[@taragnor]

HL isn't really a human lie detector. He can hear heartbeats, but that just measures anxiety. It can sometimes help him to recognize someone is tense, but isn't a true lie detector. I imagine given how erratic he's been acting, it's become far less reliable as more and more people are afraid of the guy, so heartrates probably go up just from him entering the room.

[@Squeam9750]

The thing with Homelander is that he's fundamentally an idiot. He got in way over his head when he took the company from Stan Edgar for starters. Then he killed the scientists that wronged him from childhood to shed his humanity. Only for him to come crawling back when literal breast milk was shot at him. He's a man child simple as that.

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

Homelander has become increasingly dumber because he's become increasingly more narcissistic and sure of himself. Homelander being able to hear someone's heart beat doesn't equate to him having high observational skills like Sage or Tek Knight. Homelander tends to cultivate a culture of fear around him anyway, so ppl being nervous around him wouldn't register as suspicious behavior.

[@timhardy9872]

This season isn’t as bad as people make it to be. To me it’s been pretty good, a little slow on pace but I dont mind

[@blakelandry9313]

I agree I don’t think it’s bad but it’s definitely not as good as the last three seasons

[@StarOfVoid]

I think a lot of the hate comes from people feeling called on their politics

[@sathvikreddy9106]

nah compared to the last 3 it is bad, S1 was peak imo

[@errorx_x1063]

Considering this episode and obviously the finale. You can tell where the budget went

[@Megafreakx3]

For me it been going is everything direction bit the actual plot. It just lack focus, and side questions in the most adhd kind of way

[@eddiea.2909]

If a train hides in a lead lined bunker underground he should be good....

[@IamHomelander]

*Zinc lined bunker

[@jurt00]

It’s obvious that Ryan will be the one who finally kills Homelander, and I’m okay with that.

[@loveq.8216]

Lol Sister Sage didn't have to stab her brain to sleep with Black Noir lol

[@a.k.rundizbeat3212]

From the Boy's IMDB page, it seems like Cindy and Love sausage from season 2 are gonna show up next, definitely for more team-ups with Homelander(tho not sure why that Love sausage guy🤣🤣).

[@DatBoiChris420]

Glad I'm not the only 1 who thought the A-Train puppet looking dead wasn't a sign, Also glad I'm not the only 1 who kept thinking Homelander was everywhere A Train was

[@kmcm5975]

Is the Maeve notebook Sage drops after saying there’s someone Homelander will never defeat a sign??

[@raythomas7392]

Did anyone realize the chameleon didn’t have all the sugary starlight did? It looks like the old starlight now the new one

[@jameshuayta2794]

Homelander: Why didn’t you tel me the truth. Also him. Kills instantly without letting anyone know.

[@Alarik52]

Have a feeling Firecracker may have some video of her released satisfying Homelander... Ashley redemption arc????

[@alldayagain]

Sister Sage's response to WebWeaver seemed sarcastic, tho 😅

[@angelh6345]

I thought for sure homelander was getting a-train when he went back for Ashley

[@dragonballoblivion8273]

I was devastated over a trains betrayal How dare he betray our hero like that

[@leahcimwerdna5209]

That shape shifter has to be able to take memories. How did it know the safe code and that the suit was thrown away?

[@ryanphung320]

Why did we waste time with frenchies arc just to have him return an episode later..?

[@BrainPilot]

Yeah, I was disappointed in that. No real repurcussions or acceptance of what he did in the past

[@emmanuelj18.]

I disagrere! Ashley does show remorse in the previous season towards Maeve. Once when Starlight questions her about Meave and the second time is deleting the footage showing Maeve is alive. I dont remember if there are others.

[@Barsavius]

4:30 I’m gonna stop you right there🖐️ I’ll bet you $20 that Homelander ends up trying to kill Ryan next week💀

[@JustinTaylormade]

I have a feeling Hughies mom is a supe who will see thru the shapeshifter because her powers allowed her to see the V in his pocket. If she’s not the shapeshifter who walks in the room at the end with starlight

[@rellikx7519]

"imagine having to tear off your flesh to take on a new form" I mean... That kinda is a way to do it lol, just might not survive

[@conormcginn3312]

Then it sounds like it is as good as the previous seasons. Also, we’ve seen Ashley act sympathetic towards the victims since last season, so her doing so here makes complete sense.

[@dstuhlpfarrer]

How did Homelander know where the boys' headquarter is to send the deep and noir to? If he knew their location anyway why didn't he go there earlier to stop them from interfering?

[@matenzo]

Love Ashley. I never expected it but she's become one of my favorite characters in the show. She's the only non-superhero perspective left in Vought. In that sense her gradual moral decline makes perfect sense. She's trying to survive in a prison cell surrounded by monsters and she'll do what she has to. But she knows she's turning into a monster herself. "It's so easy to become a monster in this place" pretty much says it all.

[@KryptoKnightly]

I like how serious A-Train is, I always thought he could be a tough supe to deal with now that he's got a new heart and off the V. Seeing him fight deep and be on point I really hope he doesn't die at least until the last season.

[@yeahboy7465]

I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing, but I literally have no idea, like no idea at all about how season 4 will conclude. This episode didn't really have a sense of finality to it, it doesn't feel like we are close to the conclusion, a lot of plotlines are still hanging right now. A lot of character are just talking and teasing how "something big and bad is about to happen", but that's all, they are just talking. What would have made this episode better was at least one more death beside Webweaver, so that we can actually feel those high stakes, not just being told about them verbally, but I guess this whole season is just one big build up for the final season. Episode itself is an 8/10, but considering this is a penultimate episode of the season, it's an 7/10.

[@JAKE-iv8yd]

Sage has a lot of book smarts but the reason people act the way they act probably is one of the only things that confuse her because stupidity is very unpredictable I think they wrote her character pretty well most smart people I know have zero social skills whatsoever so I think it makes sense she has no clue about social shit like making and keeping friends would probably be hard for her because she is so smart
