Bur it’s not just him. Starlight escapes and A-Train is somewhere, no? Queen Maeve is in hiding.
Except we’ve seen his face.
He’s black.
Queen Maeve has no powers I think.
We have?? God I don’t remember that at all. I thought he just showed up.
Yep, he was eating/drinking so had his mask up.
Was there an explanation for Starlight losing her powers? No one else in the show ever had the same issue and hers just conveniently came back for the final scenes.
She’s going through some stuff!
Also, seemed really out of character for her to be mad at Huey. Seems like the writers are just trying to inject conflict there, but it really wasn’t fair or like her at all.
Episode 4 was amazing. So intense.
Homelander goes back to where he was brought up.
Huey kills someone.
There’s a 6 hour telethon for Starlight.
And Huey forgives A-train, which really felt nice, surprisingly, going back to the first episode there
The old Butcher felt like he was back? Maybe?
The only thing that felt weird about this episode is the editing felt a bit off to me. There were several scenes that weren’t edited like a normal episode of The Boys. There were some short cuts, like they were editing around scenes they didn’t get right or something, it was weird. And certain shots were not fully in focus. It gave the episode a weird feel.
Episode 6 also feels weird, not just for editing, but for the content (flying sheep)
I’ve been laughing at this video all day.

Are they in character? Maybe…
Probably will get its own thread one day, but since it’s relevant here:
The Boys is just so entertaining, as was Gen V, so hey, I’m down for more.
Soldier Boy and Storm front founded that herogasm orgy, but it seems everybody’s forgotten that Stormfront and HL were also a thing.
So she banged father and son.
Also, in Season 4 we find out Starlight was pregnant, so Supes can get pregnant, not just become pregnant by a Supe, like Becca did.
So the obvious question here is can Supes get pregnant from other supes?
Seems that surely they can?
I am always down for more Jensen Ackles.
Episode 7 - I loved this one so much. I know they did episodes before where a character might have thought about just leaving and letting this be someone else’s problem, but I loved that multiple characters in this episode were in that mindset. Just leave me alone and let someone else handle it.
I made it through, I say it like that because I kept trying to watch it and falling asleep on the couch, or getting distracted, and I was utterly lost when I tried to pick it up. So thanks to a bout of food poisoning I went 1-8 over two days of being awake and sober. Man, this show does a lot, and it does NOT dole out explanatory exposition freely.
The gore is getting silly, and I found it a funny coincidence that Simon Pegg was in the show, since Shaun of the Dead is the movie that, for me, kicked that off. It always shocked/bugged me to have a humorous zombie film with some zombie gore, we’re all having fun, la la la and then right at the end the smarmy guy gets ripped apart and eaten on camera. That was such a total mood change but everyone seemed to accept it back then; that’s when I knew millennials were shitheads. ;)
Anyway, The Boys: Season 4. Pretty good. After watching it multiple times, all the questions were fairly answered even if you had to squint and pay rapt attention to catch them
(how the V got into Hugh’s IV, Black Noir as an actor who is also a supe. Sage needing to lobotomize herself to fuck Deep but not Noir, etc. etc.)
One thing that did seem to really change in a big way this season is how invulnerable most supes are. Whoever the new Noir is is completely bulletproof. Neuman was immune to Homelander’s eyebeam, previously the pinnacle weapon in the universe (though torn apart by Butcher’s tentacles), Deep was hyperstrong, etc.
Eh? There are loads of them, going back at least as far as Dawn of the Dead.
It’s a really subtle and likely entirely personal take. Grindhouse/splatter movies, even when somewhat tongue-in-cheek, you knew what you were getting into when you bought the ticket. Shaun of the Dead felt like a bigger mainstream movie and did such a fantastic job of setting the tone at the start, which was firmly on the humor side, that when for one scene it went super gore it threw me. It was like watching the Three Stooges for an entire episode and then right at the end when Moe hits Curly with the hammer it rips off Curly’s cheek and he starts spraying blood, The End. Just a big WTF was that? moment.
Your spoiler text is not spoilered for me.
Sorry about that, looks like it wouldn’t carry across a hard return?
Yeah that seemed like the problem. In this case I’ve already read the Wikipedia episode summaries, and I always like to know things in advance anyway, so no harm done. :)
I also finished the season last night.
- I really enjoyed Hughie’s story this season
- I really didn’t like Frenchie and Komiko’s backward step this season
- I really enjoyed Butcher’s journey this season
- I liked Homelander, Ryan, A-Train and Mother’s Milk and Annie and Ashley and other characters this season too, including the Vice President elect.
- It’s exciting to think about next season being the last. It feels like everything could be on the table as a result. I hope we get some kind of happy ending.
