After having a few days to let it sink in...the only two with the right idea in the entire final conflict were Soldier Boy and Maeve. And SB got absolutely screwed out of his deal. He did everything he was asked to do, and entirely followed through with his deal, only to get screwed over in the end.

And seriously? SB was a bigger fucking priority than HOMELANDER??? In what fucking world is that true? After this final hurrah, I could 100% see SB just fucking off and spending the rest of his days either doing stuff for Vought or just chilling somewhere with his women and drugs shit. Homelander is actively THREATENING THE HUMAN RACE WITH POSSIBLE EXTINCTION.

But yes, he's definitely the priority here.

Maeve got it. Everyone else needs to fuck off. And why the fuck is Starlight practically trying to let Homelander live despite him having recently killed a good friend of hers, as well as constantly threatening Hughie's life?

MM has a reason for his grudge, I guess, but we still haven't seen any racism to speak up. We've heard of racism, but haven't seen it.

Fuck man. Such a simple solution and they all fuck it up.

Good fucking job, Boys. You did it. You pissed off the only Supe with a secret weapon that can remove Homelander. Now tell me what the fuck you guys are gonna do?

Going after The Boys version of AoC, is the answer. I guess. Good job?

Well, Soldier Boy has PTSD and if he loses control could blow up a city block. So they need to keep him under control. Starlight is trying to like, actually do something good with being a hero, and that means stopping the bigger threat first.

And the only reason it changed in the finale was Homelander basically bringing in Ryan to hide behind. Butcher wasn't gonna let his not-really-his-son-but-still die.

Yeah, they should've just taken out Homelander first and then dealt with Soldier Boy afterwards if they really had to.

Butcher ruined his entire operation for Ryan, and I get it was to show that Butcher is trying to not be like his dad while Soldier Boy is becoming his dad, but it still fucked things up and made for an annoying finale.

Especially since Soldier Boy was actually going to kill Homelander for them and was making good on their agreement. Which is never going to happen again if he ever wakes up again.

Now the Boys are back to square 1 again and can't even use V anymore unless they want to die. This was their only chance against Homelander and Butcher fuckin blew it for everyone.

Soldier Boy could destroy 8 city blocks all at once, solo, in seconds, and he'd still he a lesser threat than Homelander.

Deal with Homelander first. Then deal with SB. You already have Frenchie and Kimiko making the gas that'll KO the dude IF YOU NEED TO, let him finish his damn job. Throw hands with Butcher if need be.

Ryan would be MUCH happier without powers anyway.

Is he dead? We're talking about a series full of pharmaceutical-created superhumans with game breaking powers, including regenerating vital body parts from near fatal wounds. What are his show powers supposed to be anyway? Were they ever specific about it yet?

I agree, that would actually be a waste. Arguably bad writing too.

The only ones who could hurt him are Soldier Boy, who was the OG strongest, Butcher, who got literally Homelander's strengths besides flight, and Maeve, who also has super strength.

Of those three, only Maeve seems kinda out of the blue, but I can buy her being at least physically on par with him, just not as durable and such. She never had a chance of winning, but her getting a few licks in is reasonable.

It's not like someone like Deep or A-Train was suddenly fucking Homelander up or something.

I mean SB can blow up a whole block so of course The Boys would consider him top priority.

The only reason Butcher turned on SB because it was implied that SB was going to kill both Homelander and Ryan and Butcher in the past has shown to change his mind last minute regarding people he absolutely loves. Like in season 2 finale where Edgar's team was suppose to capture Ryan at the house and Butcher changes his mind last minute. So it's not out of character for Butcher to be illogical.

And no, Maeve didn't go after Homelander because she "got it", she went after him because she has personal beef with him. For the last 2 seasons she's gotten nothing but shit and feared for her life against Homelander and this was the only opportunity to get rid of him for good.

As for SB, he was contemplating the whole time what he would do and ultimately yes held his end of the bargain. This finale would've been completely different had he teamed up with Homelander and Ryan.

He should've, but we never actually got to seem him fight so it was only speculation how strong he actually was. Hell, I don't think Homelander actually had to fight someone hand to hand until he met SB. He normally just laser beams all his enemies.

There's been no evidence of Homelander wanting to commit genocide against regular humans. He thinks he is superior to them or course, but he cares more about his image.

Soldier boy doesn't care about casualties and has no moral compass. He will kill anyone who wronged him and anyone in his way. The rest of Payback was pretty much killed before the last fight, so his part of the deal was done. He did try to fulfill his deal, but doesn't care about casualties.

A lot of the Boys agreed to save everyone in Vought Tower. Even if they aren't worthy of being saved, as Huey out it. They agreed on it.

Maeve wanted Homelander dead from the start, but saw the immediate threat with Soldier Boy at the moment and helped her allies in need.

Then there's Butcher who drew the line with Homelanders son, which is when he decided to go against Soldier Boy..

Didn't Soldier Boy say he will kill the son cause he is blood related to him after anyway?

He literally threatened Starlight (and Maeve) that he would wipe New York and their hometowns off the map if the truth about the plane got out.

Soldier Boy objectively has a better moral compass than Homelander. He's a dick about it, but he's also stuck in the 1940s and with an unhealthy dose of toxic masculinity, and he's never wanted to involve civilians.

No, he didn't say that. He only fought Ryan when Ryan got involved.

And the tower was EVACUATED. They weren't agreeing to save fucking Homelander as a 'welp, he technically is in the tower too' lmao.

Idk how you can get to this point and think Homelander isn't a threat to the entire human race. He believes himself to he a GOD. He has planned out exactly how to take out humanity, and has detailed it already. He doesn't want to...but he could. And is willing to. And now, he's getting fucking cheers for BLATANT MURDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

Dude...SB isn't even a thimble of bad compared to that shit.

the ending showed that homelander is the much bigger threat. him lasering that guy's face shows that he only cares about his image and nothing else. he's perfectly willing to kill if people are inconvenient to him, based on supersonic and noir. he forces people to do what he wants, like deep, a-train, and ashley, and knows they only follow him because he'll kill them if they don't

soldier boy meanwhile seems to sorta want to do the right thing, in a weird 40s way of going about it. with the time spent with the unpowered people, he didn't show any contempt at their birth, just their character. he was fine with butcher, and didn't like hughie since he was kinda wimpy. i don't think he showed racism against MM, and had PTSD flashbacks when encountering russians (rightly so)

also, was anybody in danger of getting killed by soldier boy's beam? kimiko took a blast and survived, so homelander and the kid would just be without powers. they didn't know that ryan would be there so really the bigger target going in would have still been homelander, especially with the ability to incapacitate soldier boy more easily than homelander. soldier boy doesn't have the super speed, hearing, and flight that would make it harder to use the gas on him

He lasered him because he threw a can at his son. Beyond his image, Homelander cares about his son, at least in the capacity that he wants a family. He loves Ryan because he's his son, but not because he's Ryan, if that makes sense.

He's definitely worse than Soldier Boy, of course, but I don't think the show ever tried to make us think otherwise. Soldier Boy's probably more dangerous since he can go nuclear without meaning to, but that's about it, and he's still a bigoted asshole, but he's easy to take out compared to Homelander.

and with soulja boy out of the picture, would they even want to deal with homelander?? sure they could rescue ryan from hl but it's the kid's decision and it already showed that butcher accepted it

The only ones in danger at a concentrated blast were Ryan and Homelander, from what I remember.

It also made MM look like a hypocrite since he was cheering Butch on for fucking up Soldier Boy, even though he was against him using V to fight Homelander.

This isn't a knock against MM, cuz I get it, and he was still a great character this season, but that moment had me do a mental double-take real quick.

but the plan was to evacuate the tower so the only people that might have died would be homelander, maybe anyone else who had to hold him down. sure, SB has his random explosions but they could let him take care of HL, gas SB to put him under and everything's solved. no HL, no SB

Nah it was because Kimiko got depowered and then impaled.

Cant say for sure about Ryan but from Homelander vs Maeves fight, he seems to be slightly more durable than maeve. So he'd survive the blast just fine.

But yeah, that final fight was another piece of shit writing. SuBvErTiNg OuR eXpEcTaTiOnS straight out of Rian Johnson's book.

That blast almost killed Kimiko.
Not only does it depower you, it also fries you severley.
There's no guarantee Ryan could survive after being depowered.
Somehow Maeve survived.. The last was in the middle of the air, several stories up... and she just survived a fall of several stories with no powers.. Story plot I guess.

Honestly, Butcher fucking over SB to save his dead wife's bastard son was the dumbest thing ever. The kid is obviously a prick and respects his murdering father. He's always been since he was first introduced. Homelander and that fool would have been dead. But I guess that doesn't make good tv

i honestly think we're seeing the results of them realizing the show is bigger than they expected, so they hurried up and threw something in there to add a couple more seasons
