The biggest issue I have with V1 is that the entire final season revolves around it, yet in the end, it barely matters at all.

For almost the whole season, the Boys are desperately trying to stop Homelander from getting V1. It’s treated like this terrifying game-changing thing that could make him unstoppable. The plot constantly builds tension around the idea that if Homelander gets V1, everything is over.

Then, after six episodes of stalling, side plots, and wandering around, Homelander finally gets it supposedly because “it’s what Clara would have wanted.” This should have been the turning point of the season just like many other parts in the past.. but no.. nothing happens. Nothing ever happens.

For one episode, the show tries to create a pseudo-Soldier Boy situation where they can neutralize Homelander’s V1 powers using Kimiko. Frenchie dies in the process, and we briefly see hints of V1 doing something, but overall it feels incredibly underwhelming. By the finale, V1 barely affects the fight at all.

omelander doesn’t feel significantly stronger AT ALL In fact, he feels almost equal to Butcher and Kimiko despite them not even having V1 themselves. The supposed allpowerful immortal syringe did batshit after all.

And then, within minutes of the final battle, Homelander loses those powers anyway, making the entire V1 storyline feel pointless in retrospect.

The frustrating part is that the show never properly explains why V1 seemed so ineffective. There are possible explanations the audience can come up with:

Maybe V1 only works properly if someone has had it since birth. Maybe Homelander already having Compound V caused some kind of backlash.

But none of this is actually addressed in the story. The audience is left to speculate because the show never commits to an explanation.

So the end result is that the season spends enormous time building up V1 as the ultimate threat, only for it to barely matter in the finale before being removed almost immediately. Instead of feeling like the climax of the entire series, it ends up feeling like a massive setup with no payoff.
