It has got to be the most anticlimactic 'ultimate showdown with the big bad' I've ever seen in any media.The Boys writers can't possibly write superpowered fighting scenes, it's all just normal fighting (awful choreography too) with some lackluster display of powers sprinkled in.

Homelander took the Musk parody to space and came back in like, two seconds in this same episode, straight up teleported near Frenchie in the one before. He was fast enough to save Butcher from an explosion that literally blew in his face, he chased the fastest speedster in the world.

All that, and he can't get away to save his own skin? He's lasered a plane in half, shot up a whole nuke to the sky after getting juiced by the V1 and suddenly, all his lasers can do is merely pushing Butcher, Ryan and Kimiko back? He's by far the strongest supe ever but he can't get away from Butcher's tentacles? Can't overpower Ryan and Butcher?

And where was Marie, an Odessa level supe with crazy blood powers? Really, she's just there to drive the civilians away alongside the rest of the Gen V crew?

Nothing made sense about how it all went down. The only silver lining was Homelander dying in a way that suited his pathetic self, for all the world to see, with all the snivelling.
