I took Kimiko's situation as just TV characters surviving improbable shit. Her healing was immediately taken away from what they said.

Yeah this, from both Maeve and Kimiko. I'm fine because Kimiko still has a lot to offer for the show imo and Maeve deserves a happy ending for all the shit she put up with.

Seeing as how Butcher only has at most 18 months to live, I can't see this show going anymore than another season. I think 4 seasons would be a good way to wrap things up, or at least still having Homelander as an antagonist. Don't get me wrong, the actor is fucking amazing but Homelander (as a character himself) is getting tiring after awhile as the main bad guy. I would've preferred to have SB as the main bad dude for next season, but I'm putting hope that the writers know what they're doing.

Does homelander have regenerative abilities? If not, then is he permanently damaged in his left ear?
I assumed most/all supes have some degree of increased healing, not as powerful as Kimikos, but still better than a normal humans. Like with Hughies broken arm healing after he took temp V.

He's also African-American. There's honestly nothing weird about him being religious.

Majority of African Americans are Christians, it's really not that surprising. Did it come out of nowhere? Yeah, but so did those cartoon animals because we barely know anything about him.

Him being religious is what you don't get and not the Roger Rabbit cartoons that are constantly following him around and were probably following him around the entire time and we just didn't know since we never saw the show from his perspective before S3E7?

i dont get why everyone turned on soldier boy

because he was about to zap ryan along with homelander?

That's why Butcher turned on him. Everyone else was going there to kill Soldier Boy in the first place before he supernova'd

I really don't get the interest in Noir. He pretty much acted as a secondary character with the least amount of scenes or development out of all the mains and very little communication with anyone. I don't think he needs to make a comeback

The fact that he was so irrelevant is a big part of why people can't believe he's dead. They spent 3 seasons hyping him up and did absolutely nothing with him. Why was this character even here?

If he does come back there should be a major transformation. Like the ability to talk and no more mask. That may be interesting

He resembles nothing like his comic iteration tho.

And all people asked is for him to do something. He was cool in season 1 fighting Kimiko. Cool in season 2 walking through landmines.

But then he runs, gets a pep talk from woodland creatures, and then gets killed like that Daredevil copy.

Noir could have been interesting. The potential was there. But its like they went the WandaVision route of shooting for shock factor instead of a good plot for the character. Even the cartoon The Boys set Noir up to be more than he seems.

Hes the second OG Seven member to die and he goes out like a chump, alone, and his helmet taken like a trophy.

Being in the same episode as SB getting ganged up on because people dont know Russian musics makes him black out and kill people accidentally, instead of Homelander who kills on purpose? It just feels bitter, imo.

My friend was trying to use the "subverting expectation" excuse for Black Noir, but just like TLJ, if you're trying to subvert expectation with no pay off it just comes off flat and pointless. If the execution doesn't work, you make the audience feel "why even have this character/plot point there to begin with?".

To be fair, his comic version is anything but a joke considering he's a Homelander clone who is responsible for the most heinous stuff the real Homelander was thought to have done and is the one that kills Homelander.

They were obviously going in a different direction with him for the show, but I don't think you can fault people for thinking he'd be more than a joke character based on his importance in the original version of the series.

I mean sure, if you ignored how they treated him in the show though. He's always seemed like a comic relief character imo. Honestly most of the 7 did outside HL and Maeve until this season where they give A-Train a bit of character.

The dude definitely was not a joke in the same way The Deep is. Black Noir is comedic relief, yes. But he was taken seriously in conflict. He was also given a spotlight in the Diabolical show.

Dunno how his name means he cant be taken seriously when MM is in the same show.

I feel like the show has run its course, this season felt very filler-y and it's kinda starting to feel like it's just following the exact same formula

Butcher is an asshole, all The Boys decide they're done with him but then they aren't.

Homelander does evil thing, acts crazy and does thing with milk.

A-Train and Deep fill run time with pretty pointless stories that contribute nothing to the plot.

And then a weird shock scene thrown in every few episodes just to spice it up.

Like it's not terrible or anything but I'm losing interest in watching whenever season 4 happens

A-Train being brought back is garbage

And it's clear they have no idea what to do with The Deep.

The Homelander stuff is really starting to grate on me. The showrunners seem content to drag his whole "on the edge of snapping"/"will he lose his mind?" schtick out as long as they can

They should set up the entire final season like a season of 24. Have Homelander snap in the first episode and then have the entire season take place over like 24-48 hours.

I think my biggest gripe with this season is that it had so much potential. It was building up to a lot and then most of those storylines either end up being forgotten or they're back at where they were at the beginning of the season.

Only Homelander and Butcher really had anything meaningful stick by the last episode. A Train too but he's the most C-story ass character in the show. Both him and the Deep feel so detached from the rest of the story, which is fine, but their stories on their own aren't enough to carry their own segments imo.

MM gets some closure at least but it wasn't very satisfying. Maeve making it out alive was dumb. Noir dying was dumb. Annie and Hughie breaking up was dumb.

Overall I enjoyed the season but more for the action and the wackiness than the story.

Disapointing that the actual Black Noir character is really dead, but it's cool that the actor is at least coming back to do a new rendition on him. Probably explains why he didn't have a eulogy like Maeve did.
