Loved the season and loved where almost everyone ended up

I did not like how they handled Homelander. Feels very "back to where we started this season" with him.

Screw Noir, Ryan's innocence is the saddest casualty this season. Thought that Kimiko or Frenchie potentially dying would be my Joker origin story, guess I was wrong.

It isn't "back to the start of the season" when he casually murdered someone in public and got overwhelming applause for it, the facade was still intact at the beginning.

Okay, okay, holy shit. Okay.

That finale went in the exact fucking OPPOSITE direction I expected.

Noir dying caught me off guard HARD. I wasn't expecting that in the slightest. But fuck man...RIP Noir. Someone called it in another topic, he'd die seeing his animated friends slowly fade away. Fuck. That was rough.

Maeve got some incredible licks in, I wasn't expecting her to actually do ANY damage. But when you saw blood, God DAMN. And she got to live to boot. I wonder if this is her send-off?

Homelander, as always, a fantastic villain. Him actually having some weakness and trying to be a good dad with Ryan? Like...my God, that's so fucked up but adorable. But Ryan is positively fucked now, I don't think there's any coming back.

Soldier Boy is still their own solution to this crazy fucker, I think. I don't think they can remove Homelander in any other way. And I hate to say it, but him removing HL and Ryan was probably the only way they could have finished him off. Unless we turn Ryan against his dad(seems impossible at this point), of course. I still love his character, though. You could see him about to break down as he called HL weak and shit. And, honestly, I still don't know how he's racist? They haven't showed a single second of him being racist, but MM saying as much...idk, it seemed out of left field.

And The Boys have an interesting new dynamic now. Starlight being a part of them, Butcher on his way to death's door, MM finally isn't ashamed of who he is, Hughie...hasn't really changed much, Kimiko and Frenchie looking way better than they were a few episodes ago too lol.

God I'm so fucking excited for the next season.

He made a couple of very racist comments about 2 or 3 episodes back, but also unfortunately the norm for his time living in the 40s to 80s

He did? I honestly don't remember that bit, maybe I was a bit tired when watching them. There was the Cosby reference, which wasn't racist. And him referring to Mallory as 'Captain *****' bit(Don't want to get modded for quoting the show now lol). But that's about all I remember.

yea it's stupid, but Soldier Boy did take a few laser blasts without the shield and got off without injury too.

I wish I could remember. I just remember thinking, oh he is racist. But it wasn't like Stormfront racism. More like casual 1980s white privilege racism

Like i get Noires ending but it was really really really really anti-climactic. And his power level must have been middling if it went down like that.

More so this depicts Maeve as really fucking up there to survive ALLLLL of that while Noire took one shot....

I mean there probably should have been a bit more weight behind the attack visually, but it was clearly done so they could get time to grab the canister with the gas to knock him out.

Well if the cartoon flashback in the previous episode was any indication, Soldier Boy was able to beat the absolute shit out of him easily, so not too difficult to believe Homelander could kill him the way he did.

I guess i cant help but compare him to his comic counter part. The one that punched homelanders fucking jaw off and killed him.

Id rather the comics dumb reveal then this pittiful ending.....

In this particular case, I'd say it's the best case scenario.

Especially now, Homelander is fine killing people in public now.

Butcher should have opened up to Ryan like MM did to Janine. At least Ryan wouldn't have ended up there that easily.

Or you know, just don't make the kid feel like he was a fuck up because of his powers.

Their only hope, at this point, is to HOPE Homelander fucks up at some point and Ryan realizes he's the bad guy. There is no other way I can see Ryan turning against Homelander at this point tbh.

That's what I consider too far gone.

Yeahhhhh Ryan turning face again would take some really dramatic and ridiculous writing to pull off.

Butcher really fucked up, Ryan believes only HL has his best interest at heart. And watching him be showered with love and praise by his fans is only brainwashing him further.

I really hope they dont try to turn him back at this point.

We know Homelander doesn't have any sort of regenerative power (like Kimiko), so he is probably partially or fully deaf in his left ear.

Yeah, I prefer the stupid Comic book plot twist than how they ended Black Noir there. A huge wasted potential and very anti-climatic, though I guess that is what they were going for.

Also wasted potential was Soldier Boy. I get he's not dead so there's room for him in next season, but I expected something more out of him.

At least Maeve got a good ending, glad out of all the shit she had to go through she finally got to live with her girlfriend peacefully.

Homelander literally killing his opposition in cold blood like that, something is telling me they took Trump's quote literally as inspiration lol. Ryan is headed in the wrong direction with this crap.

At least now The Boys aren't just Butcher's lap dogs. I'm looking forward to next season.

They spent a lot of time with Noire for that to be his end. I highly doubt theyll do anymore with him but im completely fine if they do.

Considering they like to experiment on supes i wouldnt put it past them to fuck with his body.

Really disappointed in this finale..

The show doesn't have the balls to progress the story in an interesting way or kill anyone off. Nothing of note has changed all that much from the start of the season and character arcs felt wasted.

Starlight was kind of a joke. Homelanders powers are all over the place.

I enjoy the show more than the comic, mostly because the writing for the protagonists is much better, but it was a mistake not to follow the comic in focusing on the boys working their through vought while building up to a final confrontation with the seven. Having the show focus on the same conflict between homelander and the boys over and over is wearing thin, especially since that arc is now basically back in the same place it ended in both season 1 and 2. also really not liking that they're setting up ryan for the exact same arc he already went through last season, being drawn to homelander because he of the alienation he feels from his powers and life in isolation before homelander's psychopathy pushes him back to butcher. hopefully they do something different with him in s4.

I liked the season a lot.

I think one of my favorite subtle characterizations is how obvious it is that Ashley truly wants to help Maeve and Starlight but she's so caught up in it now that she's scared of homelander more. When she saw Maeve in the cell my heart broke for the two of them. I absolutely love that she deleted the tape.

I'm thinking we're gonna get a Brightburn scenario here, where even if Homelander does bite it, Ryan will be too far gone.

Stupid af
It's not the kid's fault though. He hasn't done anything "bad." Not yet at least.

Anyway, killing off Noir like that so easily was really disappointing. I was hoping he would get a few licks in against Soldier Boy. Maybe Noir survived? I dunno.He could come back and try and kill Homelander.

Great season finale overall.
