If I had to write season 5 of the boys, I would do it like this, please give it a read.
Instead of wasting whole season talking and finding V1 I could have made Sister sage already cracked the V1 formula using soldier boys blood till episode 3, and in episode 4 after getting the V1 formula she gave it to Homelander and also keep one dose for herself as well, so after getting the V1, Homelander becomes invincible and start thinking he is god so like in the last episode we all saw he arranged a live broadcast from the white House, but according to me he does it in episode 5 but as soon as live broadcast gets start someone hacked his live broadcast and plays the video of him doing with storefront and also cctv footage of him killing the black noir from previous season, and the live was not hacked none other then by Sister Sage she wanted a world war supe and the one dose she save for herself she had given to Butcher so when Homelander sees the broadcast and there is this words written on his Image "False God" as soon as he sees this Ashley comes to him and says sir we are having a problem people are leaving your broadcast and also we see increment in the number of your memes and post about you doing Storm front and "False God" is trending on twitter, I guess we need to stop this broadcast sir. Homelander looks at her and says " You don't need to do anything now Ashley". And he laser her right infront of the live broadcast. He kills all the people in the building camera gets drop on the floor and we only hear people screaming and running blood and laser sound, after he is done he picks up the camera full of blood and says by looking at the camera " God is Dead" and he drops it. Butcher sees this and realises at last Homelander snaped so he also injects himself with V1 to be prepared for the upcoming fight. Homelander goes to the vought building there he sees deep and Oh father, Oh father is raged by ashleys death and also terrified what Homelander did to her, he tries to attack him by screaming but Homelander grabs his mouth and snatches away the lower jaw and pull out his wind pipe using hands deep sees this and gets terrified and tries to run Homelander grabs him by neck and grabs his one leg and rip his one leg away after that out of pure adrenaline deep punches him as hard as he could but it does nothing to Homelander, homelander grabs his fist crushes it and rip his arm off after that he grabs does same to his other limbs, and finally crushing his face by stepping on it. And at the vought tower he sees throught the window which he had on his confrence room to the city and flies through the ceiling after this the episode ends and the episode 6 starts with news report of mass killing by Homelander shows video and photos of people getting killed by Homelander, and also the bought tower is destroyed and toppled. Butcher sees this and ask his team member to go hide somewhere, he asks sister sage to help his team hide at first she refuses but after some time she agrees to keep only females with her including Kimiko, starlight and the guys daughter who created the virus at this point starlight is already pregnant of 2 weeks. butcher asks his fellow men including ryan to think for a plan to kill Homelander, they meet at a hideout and plans what can be done while the news broadcast that military is struggling to fight the Homelander in the background. Mm suggests that now Butcher is also invincible, with the help of Ryan and solder boy we can go all in but frenchie ask they haven't seen soldier boy recently butcher notices this and also get curious where is Soldier boy, so butcher gives Ryan a risky task he asks him to confront Homelander and ask him to stop and also asking where is Soldier Boy? At first Ryan gets scared but butcher says "don't be scared boy I am with ya" so according to plan when Homelander lasering people through sky Ryan silently appear floating behind him Homelander turns and he was to going laser him but stops and realises he is Ryan, and he yelled and said "Why are you here? To stop me? To save these ants? To prove i am a false god? Ryan replies by saying " to be with you father" Homelander pause for a moment and starts illuminating his eyes and said " what are you really trying to do here?" He replies " "nothing, i am just trying to be a good Son" Homelander senses his heartbeat and sees it is normal he believes he might be saying truth, so he asks why now? Because I am killing these fu**ers?Ryan replies no because I have realised that all you ever tried was to be a good father and a good son, everyone does some mistakes and you did too but we can make things better we can be good. We can live as a happy family, you me and Grandpa. Homelander hugs him and cries and says finally someone understood me. All I ever wanted is to be loved by someone for real not by fear not for fame but as a person. Come son, i am gonna let you meet your grandpa, they both flies out of there, and goes to the very place where he first kept Ryan and becca, they both gets inside the house and Homelander shows Ryan the cryogenic chamber where Soldier boy is hibernating and tells me don't worry he is not dead, I just kept him there because I love him and I hope he love me too someday(crying), Ryan touches the glass panel and says I know he would be very happy to meet us as a family, can we get him out of there? Homelander yells and says no, not this early first let me prepare world for us, let me make the world bow to us, Ryan nodes as yes but deep down he just wants to tell butcher about the location. It is middle of the night and Ryan is laying on his bed and thinking about the way to tell butcher about the location he hears something slowly gets up from his bed again he hears something he slowly goes to the source of the sound and finds the room from where the sound is coming he uses his Xray vision to see through the wall and gets very scared for what he sees, he a crying and scared lady sitting on a sofa and Homelander laying on his lap and breast feeding, Ryan gets very scared and slowly turns away and instead of walking he flies just inches above the floor and goes towards his bed and lays there silently, and starts crying, Homelander comes to his room looking at him laying on his bed, ryan stops crying and pretends he is sleeping but Homelander hears his heartbeat and says don't try you know I can sense your heartbeat for a moment Ryan does nothing but when Homelander tries to touch him he flips and shows Homelander his laser eyes, Homelander asks what happened? Nightmare? Ryan realises and says sorry I just saw a nightmare, Homelander says it's okay, I also do sometimes, I really gets excited thinking what things can make strongest person on earth scared. He says it's okay son, and hugs him, next morning Homelander says he has to go somewhere he will be back in few hours, Ryan keeps his act and tell me bye. Homelander flies away as soon as he flies away Ryan tries to find some thing to connect to Butcher and others, he finds nothing and at last he gets an idea to go himself to Butcher and tell his location but thinks this is very risky, he abondons the plans and went towards his room to think about something else but he notices the same room which he has yesterday night he goes inside the room and sees blood stain all over the sofa and realises that Homelander is already ended his sanity so he just rushes to the ground floor and went to soldier boys chamber and looks at him for few seconds then he pressed the button unfreezing soldier boy and grabs his body and flies away to the butcher location, Homelander comes back his whole body covered in blood, comes inside house and calls out for Ryan but didn't get an answer he went to the kitchen and grabs a milk bottle from the fridge and starts drinking, while drinking he crosses chamber room his side eye catches glimpse of the chamber and he went back and sees the open chamber the bottle drops from his hand and flies upwards braking the above floor he goes to Ryan's room and sees him missing too, and gets very angry and the episode ends with him illuminating his eyes.....
