Seriously, how bad was this guy nerfed in the final battle? just look how fast he blitzes soilder boy and then compare it to whatever this is. writers really don't give a shit about power inconsistencies.

All that buildup all that god talk to smiting the non believers and ripping babies from their wombs, all those cool posters and cool lines this is the most brutal rampage ever. And kimiko being the saviour with her Frenchie force ghost lol

Crazy how hard the show dipped after S3. Earlier seasons felt sharp and unpredictable. Didn’t hate it, but it definitely felt off compared to the previous seasons.

Just a quick reminder.

These wonderful people put a ton of hard work and you gotta admit they always gave it their all. It ismt any of the cast's fault that the writing was so dogshit 💀.

We gotta give credit where its due as well: Antony Starr and Karl Urban killed it with their performances and personally, were the driving force in my motivation to keep watching.

Speaking of, Antony Starr was robbed of an Oscar, lets be honest folks. The perfect asshole.

The sudden demeanor, and voice change, and his speech about destroying the heretics. I was honestly coping so much when I first watched the episode telling myself: “Oh shit! This might be the high-budget VFX Military leak!!”

Dawg, Black Noir II caused MORE damage to the world than Homelander, and it was offscreen too… Just how the hell did The Boys go from S1-3, then a sudden downfall to S4-5?

Also, did V1 even buff, or do anything to Homelander?? (Aside from immortality ofc) They dealt with him so damn easily it felt really weird.

He could’ve just lasered Kimiko in half like what he did in the first episode, steady/focus his laser on Butcher for atleast a few seconds to incapacitate him, then just fuck off before Ryan comes into play.

also, this guy looks kinda like Butcher.

In the first season I genuinely didn't care about her, but in the second season I clasped my hands and prayed to every entity imaginable for that spoiled brat to die in a way more humiliating than the Love Sausage.

The fact that she NEVER received the slightest punishment for what she did to that poor, innocent human saleswoman infuriates me. God, the girl received threats of abuse because that foreskin didn't want to put her own ass on the line in her protests.

And worse! I'll never know what happened to that woman! Because of that spoiled brat, she became known as a starlighter at a university full of superhuman beings who could do whatever they wanted to her without any consequences. And the story wants me to believe that Harper is a good person! Screw that!

I got it off my chest....

How am I even supposed to look at Homelander the same way again after that ending? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved his ending, the son of bitch had it coming, but, he always had this infinite aura and a terrifying, intimidating presence. But now? After he desperately begged for his life to the point of offering Butcher a blowjob?

That was the most humiliating character degradation I have ever witnessed. He became the most pathetic character I've ever seen, and trust me, I've watched a ton of movies and TV shows, he reached a whole new level of pathetic that even The Deep couldn't match. My entire perspective on Homelander will be flipped 180° whenever I rewatch the show.

The show has constantly pointed out just how pathetic he is without his powers, but I never expected to see it put on display so clearly.

Him pitifully begging Butcher for mercy is definitely realistic and consistent with his character, but the thing is, he was always this terrifying dictator, and now his disgusting, pathetic truth has been exposed. I don't have any criticism to his ending, it just caught my attention how exposed he is now.

Seeing people say that it was just for immortality but if that’s true then what was the point of this scene even

I'm starting to believe this mf was a supe all along. He took a bullet in the shoulder and suffered no consequences, and now this. Sure, the thing in his mouth was very resistant, but all that force would be directed at his fingers. At best, MM wouldn't have any appendages left on his hands; at worst, Hughie's head would be the stationary object meeting an unstoppable projectile.
