What did you think of the episode? What do you feel is going to happen next? Discuss below!
Mallory really just fumbled the ball at the last minute. Butcher was being an actually good father for a solid minute and then had to let all hell loose after her little mishap with Ryan.
I found it somewhat jarring to the point of it being funny how Butcher’s beard just lost all white when Kessler took over. I get the intention behind it, but I’m just imagining Butcher stopping for some makeup for some Extra™ Beard Spray.
Also, damn you writers for jumping straight for the gut with Kimiko’s first words being those of denial, anger and loss. Not cool.
Grace’s little emotional breakdown moment, recalling her grandkids was great, she should have just let Ryan breathe for a second, he only asked for time think, at first…
And yeah lol, the Butcher upgrade was quite jarring XD Though it’s V, it’s pretty much magic.
That whole U-turn was a gut punch ;-;
Ya. Grace totally fumbled it. Ryan was almost there and she had to charge in and screw it all up.
Awesome episode but some huge gut punches.
Holy freaking shite, what a finale!
Random assortment of thoughts:
- Nice and quick joke at the WB Batgirl debacle with the A-Train movie getting pulled out.
- Erin Moriarty’s performance as both Annie and the shapeshifter was jaw-breaking, loved it! Finally she got some great scenes.
- Shapeshifter’s skin peeling is disgusting as hell.
- Karl’s makeup for sick butcher was spot on. Also love Kessler’s portrayal, very well acted.
- Ryan’s actor(s?) is doing a really good job too, he’s got some talent at a young age.
- Still on that topic of Ryan, nice to see him disobey HL. Half expected a brawl in that scorched room.
- Shapeshifter’s quick correction of psycopath -> sociopath was interesting to see. Again excellent acting from Erin. Great insight into Annie’s character too.
- HL is just a complete wildcard at this point, he just freaking ratted Vichy like that.
- Rip Ashley II, kinda poetic that she was killed by Noir II (with a murder boner lol). Cold death though.
- Ashley I took V! Looking forward to seeing her powers in Gen V S2, maybe??
- Always love Frenchie’s lab scenes. Reminds me of S1.
- Connect 4 was cute. Grace fucked it up pretty badly and pushed Ryan too far. He shouldn’t have killed her, but she was playing with fire.
- Deep just disgusts me further every episode.
- Firecracker got a classic HL treatment, she’s probably starting to think more about her life choices.
- Annie’s escape scene was absolutely brutal. The special/visual effects on this show are quite something.
- Shapeshifter’s rampage on the bunker was nice, loved the use of dolls for that guy getting bent backwards.
- Kimiko getting her neck 180’d was… yeah.
- Annie vs shapeshifter 🔥 though I thought it was a bit short, was expecting a bit more of a fight. Was sorta nice they didn’t get Kimiko back in time to help Annie, and instead let her have it all by herself.
- Hughie and Annie’s little fight was pretty cute, ngl. Her comeback later with “shapershifter syphilis” was great xD
- Vichy’s call to Hughie was touching.
- I kinda expected the pub writer to live, but the Deep is HL’s little puppy.
- 🇫🇷🥰
- Butcher’s realization that Grace’s death was fucked and his slow nod to Kessler was 👌
- Oh my gawd! Vichy’s death was so fucking brutal and unexpected, jfc. Poor Zoe, had to watch that and get sent to Red River (though she was quite violent too). That’s some bad stuff brewing for Gen V S2, I smell it.
- Butcher was looking sooo much healthier, though. As soon as he yielded to Kessler, he stopped being sabotaged by it. Fuck cancer.
- Sage is such a wildcard too, but at least we got to see some of her motive? Does she just want to test some theories of her at a real scale, thus cementing how brilliant she is? Does she just want power because that’s ultimately what somebody can achieve in their lifespan (doesn’t make all that much sense)?
- Rip Dakota Bob
- HL’s last speech and close up was nice. From what I can tell, they are closing the gap between the show and the comics.
- The U-turn on The Boys’ escape completely caught me off-guard, but was pretty good. As I’ve seen mentioned, t’was a bit of a Endgame portal moment, but nice nonetheless.
- Kimiko’s screams and pleads were devastating 😭 Sam was just completely unfazed by anything :/ Kind of expected Frenchie to commit suicide, but I guess he can be more useful to make some sort of antidote to the virus?
- Poor MM, with his Love Sausage encounters. It was the 3rd now! Nobody deserves a phallic slap.
- Why did they get Eleven™️? I thought she hated Vought&Co for all the shit they did to her. Felt very out of place.
- On the other hand, Star(f)light go brrrrrrrr. Dunno how she draws power when flying in the sky…
- I swear to god they played a tiny snippet of the Avenger theme, completely out of tune, when they panned to Soldier Boy’s face, in the mid-credits scene. Curious to see his role in the next season.
Well, that was quite lengthy lmao. But it was a very packed episode, much more so than all other 7 episodes in this season, I feel like.
Eleven threw me too. But maybe she really hates humans more than anything? Who knows.
The Boys getting away at the end wa- whoops not so fast! Lol. Really cool ending.
To me it felt like the writers just wanted to have her back (because she’s very cool, let’s be honest). They’ll most likely flesh out her motivations more in the next season.
The ending was indeed very cool. Incredible episode.
Me and my bros theorize that Ashley’s powers are going to be hair related
Honestly not that outlandish. Would be very interesting and most likely visually gory in typical The Boys fashion xD
I knew something would be a shock this being the final, but damn they can squeeze in a ton of turns. Vicky getting called out, then killed.
Evil Annie was great fun. I’m Annie January and- Fuck you!
I’m surprised they went down the list in the tower in the same episode. I was totally expecting that to be a next season thing.
Fence kiss was very cute and finally happened.
Was definitely not expecting grampa to come back.I’m gonna stop with a list, cuz Tmpod basically covered it all lol.
I was really worried before this season came out that this would a filler season. But man it might be one of the best seasons yet. Every episode was a banger.
Yeeeah, it was a jam-packed episode, lots happening.
I’m surprised they went down the list in the tower in the same episode. I was totally expecting that to be a next season thing.
Same tbh. We got some quick (bro) scenes and Ashley’s V 💉. I bet the first episode of S5 will feature the aftermath of this purge significantly. HL is just isolating himself more and more. Stan’s comment from that dead ass scene is getting realer :P
But man it might be one of the best seasons yet. Every episode was a banger.
I actually thought it wasn’t the best. In between episodes, I started rewatching S1 (ended up finishing it all up and going through S2 and S3 too… I’m terrible >.<) and man, it was so freaking good. First season is peak The Boys for me. Second and third are also good, but the first one is so solid. The fourth one had more ups and downs imo. The fourth episode (with HL’s visit to his ex-home lab) was an obvious up, but there were weaker episodes imo, like the one where they got Stan out (sad we didn’t get to see him in the finale, he’s out because of Vichy, is he not?).
Granted, I admit to not having watched the older seasons in a long time. I have no doubt S1 is probably the best. I should have said “except for S1”.
Stan being out is a little strange now that you mention it. I forgot about it, its like a little footnote. Did he survive? Is he going to be in s5?
I was surprised Ash didn’t fight anyone after the V. She’s gotta be either in ep5_1 or maybe she’s going to be some crazy slow burn thing that’ll be nuts.
Stan did survive yeah, Vichy blew up the driver’s head and let him out. I feel like he will play a minor part in S5 (maybe putting his manipulation skills back against HL?).
Ash might appear in Gen V S2 (sometime next year?) even before the main series’ last season. Anyway, I hope she will appear in ep 1.
Removed by mod
please put an end to Firecracker
I feel as though she will be next season’s mole. She is already feeling like she is getting pushed from the 7 with her just coughing.
