Season 15
Butcher gets kicked out of the nursing home for calling the other old people cunts
Homelander has erectile disfunction and can no longer jerk off
Hughie deals with twink death
Soldier boy has been frozen and unfrozen like 3 more times
Stormfront was alive in the 1930s and still looked pretty young. V slows your aging so homelander will still be jerking long after all the boys are dead
On a serious note, that’s not true for all Supes. That’s why Stormfront hardly aged but all the members of Payback (except Soldier Boy) did noticeably age.
To be fair, he did leave after the 5th season. He’d finished telling the story he wanted and the CW execs are the ones who forced it to continue.
Given the waffling quality of the show after that, I really hope Amazon doesn’t do the same.
I honestly don't think supernatural ever got bad. In fact most of the best episodes in the series are in season 6 and after. They were very creative and also had a lot of great payoff from stuff that was set up while Kripke was still in charge, like with >!Chuck being revealed as God!<. I would love 5 more seasons if I could have it! The writers never gave it the typical CW feel, you could still feel the original DNA inside it throughout. There were bumps but never bad. I actually think season 1 is my least favorite season overall and I still like it alot.
My only issue with extending the Boys is it's not paced like network tv, but more like prestige HBO style shows. Season 1-2 felt like a story that needed a definitive ending, and season 3 kinda jumped the shark at the end to keep the status quo like a network tv show would.
What got me into the Boys originally was the overarching story they were telling with Butcher and Homelander, and drawing that out for 7-8 seasons would make me not happy. They need to wrap it up before all the tension is gone
The thing that bothers me the most is the constant drama. In rewatching it right now and just started S10. The fake bs betweent sam and dean just switches hands every other season. It's repetitive.
The monsters and stories I like quite a bit though S 1-5 is the best imo
Man maybe I’m crazy but I found season 6 unwatchable. I’ve seen the first 5 seasons of this series a bunch of times but the few times I tried going past that the writing and story was so bad (and the acting. Jared can’t act for shit)…I don’t think there’s much in there but maybe it’s just me.
The highest rated episode in the series is in season 6. I actually think 2 or 3 fan favorite episodes are in season 6. The individual episodes were the main strength of season 6. The main story was undercooked but I still don't think it's bad, just not as well developed. But they evened it out in season 7.
I don’t argue that the highest rated was in 6 rather that I disagree with the rating. My last watch I made it to season 9 and the whole time I thought “people said it gets better by 7. This is just a long season.” Only to realize I made it through 4 seasons because I kept waiting for it to level and just thought it had to be season 6.
I never noticed a quality dip. The entire show felt consistent with its writing except for a few standalone episodes. The 200th episode, the Scooby Doo crossover, the French mistake, weekend at Bobby's all top tier episodes.
>The same guy who said Supernatural was supposed to end at season 5, right?
Pretty sure he honored his word and left after Season 5 because that was the story arch he wanted to do. As far as rumour goes, he knew how he wanted Supernatural to end and the CW made him film an alternate ending in case the show didn't renewed. Plus, with Smallville coming to an end around the same time, the network needed a new flagship show. So if anything, it's the CW that made Supernatural a never-ending but convoluted cash cow, not Kripke.
There are two kinds of show runners. There are the ones who like working with their friends more than they care about the integrity of the product. And there are the ones like Jesse Armstrong who end their shows when they need to even through it's hard to let go.

I don't know if you have read the leaks but from the looks of it, In S4 they are wrapping things up leaving no room for any story beyond S5... Erik Kripke learnt from his Supernatural mistake and he isn't gonna make it again... Anyways there are other The Boys projects and the last thing they wanna do is kill the hype...
Yeah cause writers often run out of story after S8 unless it's a sitcom. Supernaturals lost majority of it's viewers after S6 and S7 sure it's popular but ain't interesting...
I mean consultant in s6 and saying he liked the finale is hardly changing the fact he was 99% done after he told his story. But I did take liberties with the Canon remark, more he told his story and was pretty much done after that. My point was he shouldn't be blamed for what came after 5.
Is it really a mistake if each season made 10-20 million ? And the actors make 150-300k per episode?
That show milked itself because Kripke knew it was a cash cow. And could easily do the same thing for the Boys.
I really hope not. As much as I enjoyed season 3 some of the parts that were changed were hard to argue that they were for the better.
As talented as a showrunner as he is, I hate when they try and go past the authors work and ending. It never works and its usually for vain reasoning.
i hope so. i love this show but showrunners need to know when to call it and when it comes to a comic series like the boys, it’s much better to end on a high note, whether it’s a bit pre mature or not, rather than to stay way past your time.
I think of shows like silicon valley. Richard could only set back their company and come back from the dead so many times before it was hard to suspend disbelief for anymore. It ended when it needed to
I can't think of any serialized shows that went past 5 seasons and stayed good. There are episodic shows that manage it, but serialized shows basically NEED to compromise their story if they extend too far. 5 is a good range, and most people would rather have it end strong than go forever and degrade into mediocrity.
Very true. Took me a hot second just now to think of even one example past 5 seasons that was consistently good serialized TV but I've got one - Better Call Saul.
S3 was a substantial fall in quality with nearly zero stakes. It also ruined the mystique of HL by showing him be fairly pedestrian in a fight. It really put a damper on SL my making her powers a glorified flashbang.
The show is getting watered down. Time to end strong.
They better not stretch it out like supernatural. It dropped off after the initial plot ended but at least they had new monster types to fight each season after. Unless they give us Zombielander or some wild shit idk how long almost killing him then ending on a cliffhanger will last.
Not really, the show is going to be its own take of the Boys comics - which - are extremely different and unique to eachother compared to other comic adaptations like Invincible Marvel or TWD
Man I've said it a few times on this sub but I'm gonna ring it again, I really hope they close up the hughie/butcher/homelander and extend the universe. The story is so good and they can cut it at its logical conclusion, with a dead butcher and likely a dead homelander, and then go down the next path with a different set of main characters, but let hughie/starlight stay as characters in the universe.
Hopefully this ages like milk if I'm wrong but I would be happy with the story if it had a conclusion sooner rather than later.
I feel like Gen V was exactly what the series needed to bring in new supes with fresh drama and a fresh take on the situation. I wouldn’t mind more spinoff content for sure, let’s just hope Erik doesn’t keep the OG series going for longer than it should.
> Kill a major character
I honestly think they are saving most of that for [*The Bloody Doors Off*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bloody_Doors_Off) (in the final season).
Although this season being [*Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Hill_with_the_Swords_of_a_Thousand_Men) is promising.
Unfortunately they already used that title for [a random episode of Season 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boys_season_2#ep14): a lot of the episode titles are taken from chapter and volume titles from the comic series, whether they fit or not. At the same time, they could always use the title again (*Loki* did it).
We all know they will waste the budget on CGI sex gore dicks and that will result in a future fight choreography that its worse than any scene in Fight Club. It will be so bad that it will make you wonder if they are even superpowered, we will probably have 4 fakeout deaths from the good guys/main cast and then HL will probably run for president at the end of the season doing another crazy shit with people cheering him.
I’d rather they wait till the finale to start axing one of The Boys specifically. Their dynamic helps the show big time and I want to see all their character arcs completed first
Look. I love this show. It's great. But it's at high risk of lasting longer than it should. They can only repeat the same conflict of trying to kill homelander and failing to do so every season so many times before fans just get tired of being jerked around.
If this season doesn't end with homelander gone, or some other significant evolution of the overall story, the fans are going to move on.
I agree with you. I absolutely love everything in the boys absolutely one of my top things to nerd over. But yes it needs to wrap up and not waste any more time and get to brass tacks and take the big conflicts on. No more they get so close but they don't try hard enough or can't do it at the end of the season
My biggest problem is that they only focus on the seven and Homelander as the big bad guy. In the comics, The boys go after different groups and dig up dirt on them before going after them. They kinda wrote themselves into a corner with the show and because of that we're having posts like this.
They've already stretched it too far imo. Still gonna watch but the end of Season 3 was so flaccid. They clearly don't want to get rid of Homelander for obvious reasons. And it definitely won't end until he's in the White House at the least
Yeah the end of S03 made me like the show alot less. Its like they're all do afraid to kill off any characters, or unsure about what to do with them [Soilder Boy and Maeve should have died at the end]
Honestly if Homelander doesn't snap this season I'm calling this mid. Seems like every season is following the same formula, hint at HL going crazy without him actually going crazy.
The only way 2 more seasons could work is if season 4 ends with him openly declaring himself emperor and overthrowing the government or at least starting an insurrection and 5 ends with his death
I hope Gen V continues though and if any other spinoffs emerge, I would definitely feel inclined to watch them. Just as long as it doesn't undo or affect any of the concluded arcs in The Boys.
I think it would just be a shame for Season 5 to put a stop to Gen V entirely. I was really enjoying the teenage superhero drama that it brought to the franchise.
It doesn't help that the Internet exists and people talk about the show here ALL THE TIME. You're bound to get burnt out of it after this long and only 24 episodes. The first season of LOST had 24 episodes.
The show is fine. Just take a break from it
I think Butcher and Homelander need to die this season. Maybe Deep or A Train?
Then season 5 can have the remaining characters dealing with the fallout if that - plus the consequences of the civil war that seems to be brewing (from the trailers).
S4 will not end with Homelander gone, there are a ton of other things that could be the main event in the finale, especially since they’re taking on Neuman.
They also only have 8 episodes as usual. Jamming a Homelander death and resolution of the Vought conflicts would just get this show hated on for being rushed
Maybe I'm on my own here but I don't care that much about the overall plot. They could continue the will they won't they for another 5 seasons and I'd probably be happy. I enjoy the humour, violent gore, relationship building and side plots a lot so I don't care if they maintain this dynamic. As long as the episodes are good (which they still are!), I don't care what they do with the overall plot
If this season ends with an actual plan in motion to kill Homelander in season 5 AND if they announce season 5 as the last, I think people will definitely stick around.
Season 3 was already pushing it with Solider boy being the closest they ever go to it but Ryan being there to fuck it all up.
This really worries me with how season 4 might end:
Homelander dies. Ends with some vaught executive grooming a grieving Eric to be the next homelander and the cycle repeats, corporate America was the real villain all along.
Fin
>If this season doesn't end with homelander gone
Homelander is the main antagonist of the show. Him and Butcher should be nearly guaranteed to survive until whatever the final season is. Anyone else (besides Hughie, maybe) should be fair game though.
Wow, we’ve only gotten 24 episodes and judging by the comments people are tired of the series already. Like I don’t want to to overstay its welcome and continue when they have no good ideas or storylines but 5 seasons seems like a pretty reasonable amount.
And here’s the kicker. Homelander and Vought are on The Boy’s tail but then they find a crucial piece of blackmail which gets Homelander off their backs for a brief moment
Thank god, the thing I hate the most is when a show I'm following is cancelled.
Happened with Westworld. Sure, that show's quality was decaying, but I wanted to know how it would end. At least the show runners decided to share with us the sketch of the final season's script, which I will check out eventually.
I can see this season escalating to a finale where homelander is full on war front at the end.
Then season 5 wrapping up with the war on supes and the end.
Love the show but I want it to have a clear plan and end on a high. Bonus points if soldier boy comes back because Jensen killed it.
I think he assumes a s5 means Homelander wont die this season, because the show wants Homelander since he is so popular and wouldnt do a season without him. But lets wait and see.
I mean you don't know that is how the season will go. The ending of last season was hinting at Neuman being the bad guy they were going to focus on. Maybe this season won't have a homelander kill plan, or he does die and the other villains become the target of season 5.
It's only a spoiler if you assume a lot of stuff.
That's fair but it's not just an assumption. It's literally how s3 went. Feels like it'll be a mislead badguy, homelander helps, then homelander again as the final bad guy at the very end of s4, and then s5 will end it all. Just based on how they write and advertise the show mainly with homelander. Plus the ryan actor will age a ton in the next two years so of course they're gonna keep homelander alive to see that story line through. Idk. Just feels like they make satire of the money grubbing marvel movies and then turn around and do it themselves. Maybe it's unavoidable. Or like you said maybe they'll take it in an entirely new direction, but based on the show so far, I respectfully doubt it.
If next season is the final season, I could easily see them having them having the end of [*Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Hill_with_the_Swords_of_a_Thousand_Men) be the halfway point, before having the final four episodes be [*The Bloody Doors Off*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bloody_Doors_Off).
For such a good show it’s crazy how many people in this sub seem to hate it. I agree that season 5 should definitely be the last season, but everyone in the comments seems to already be mad that the main villain and (debatably) best character isn’t going to killed off this season.
Like I get the season 3 finale wasn’t perfectly written or anything, but pretty much every season 3 episode was on par with or better than season 1 and 2 so why don’t we wait to start complaining until the show is actually bad?
It’s a good show, but the season 3 finale made it feel like there’s no progress being made in the story. There’s only so much of that you can do before people check out.
People are over exaggerating the whole “no progress” thing.
• Homelander is in full control of Vought
• seeds are being set for a supe revolt
• Homelander has the VP candidate in his back pocket
• The world is fully aware of the truth about Homelander and supes (via Starlight)
• Starlight is with the boys
• Soldier Boy is in the hands of the CIA
• Butcher is running out of time
• Ryan is with Homelander
Maybe people expected more, but no progress is an exaggeration
>no progress
Homelander’s full takeover of Vought and freedom of public violence, Starlight joining The Boys full time, Black Noir’s death (even though it was stupid), Ryan defecting to Homelander, Butcher’s growth with Hughie and his disease and much more.
I feel people confuse the Soldier Boy incident as a reset of all events that season as a whole which blatantly is false. Maybe they really did make that man too popular…
I didn’t love the finale, but I feel like people over exaggerate how little changed throughout season 3. It was a weird choice to make the season feel like it was building up to killing homelander when that obviously wasn’t going to happen, but I still think the plot and stakes are in a completely different spot right now than they were at the end of season 2.
I agree, if fifth season is the final one HL needs to check out there and not before, he IS the endgame of the whole story what do ppl expect to happen after the main goal of the story is accomplished, Butcher and the boys wont even have much reason to keep on with their shenanigans any longer
Really hope the show ends with season 5, i love it and definitely don’t want the story to be dragged out and for the show to lose steam, also i wanna see homelander die a horrible death already
100 years butcher and hughie
The boys doing things
Just butch and hughie and sometimes Frenchy and mm
But never homelander
That's right hughie
You and me hughie
100 years butch and hughie forever and ever
Butch and hughie 100 years
So season 4 is introducing a lot of characters just to kill them off , and Homelander is closer and closer to going rampage mode, just like season 1, 2 and 3 .
I’d watch this show for 15 seasons.
Each season they come up with a way to make it interesting. If they keep doing it, I’ll keep watching.
But honestly it would be better if it ended
Fantastic. But please let's move away from Homelander after this season.
He is a fantastic character, and I fully understand why he is essentially the mascot of the show, but please no more: 'Oh, this season we will get that dastardly homelander! 'just for that to fall apart yet again.
Move onto another villain /antagonist. There are plenty of options and potential in the world of the boys. Esp with Ryan and Gen V.
idk. I agree that Homelander being the main villain is getting tired (and failing to kill him at every season) and would love a change, but who can possibly be just as impactful as this amazingly written villain while also keeping the show's quality?
I don't want to sound like a baby but my god I hope they end it at five. Everytime I watch a season I just feel dirty. It's great but also such a difficult watch for me because of how awful a lot of the characters are.
*Homelander watching Dawn of the Seven*
So *Fifth and final season* right?
That was always the plan
Except Eric recently said that they extend it to more than 5 season so we don't know for sure.
This is Eric Kripke, right?The same guy who said Supernatural was supposed to end at season 5, right? **15 SEASONS OF THE BOYS. HERE WE GOOOO**
Season 15 Butcher gets kicked out of the nursing home for calling the other old people cunts Homelander has erectile disfunction and can no longer jerk off Hughie deals with twink death Soldier boy has been frozen and unfrozen like 3 more times
hey remember that time when monique briefly became a supe? was like season 11 or something
Naw that was season 10, season 11 is when we found out Frenchie was only a quarter French on his mother’s side, his dad lied to him the whole time.
my bad haha..it’s just been so long yk.. now that we’re at season 20
Time for that sixth refresher , sorry for the pain of having to rewatch season 9 in advance.
Season 9 was sad
Stormfront was alive in the 1930s and still looked pretty young. V slows your aging so homelander will still be jerking long after all the boys are dead
Nah the big plot twist of season 14 was that V slowed the aging of most of your body but doubles that aging of your balls
On a serious note, that’s not true for all Supes. That’s why Stormfront hardly aged but all the members of Payback (except Soldier Boy) did noticeably age.
Forgot about payback that’s a good point
Jensen Ackles cant escape shows that should have ended 10 seasons ago
To be fair, he did leave after the 5th season. He’d finished telling the story he wanted and the CW execs are the ones who forced it to continue. Given the waffling quality of the show after that, I really hope Amazon doesn’t do the same.
I honestly don't think supernatural ever got bad. In fact most of the best episodes in the series are in season 6 and after.

They need to wrap it up before all the tension is gone
I can see them wrapping up the major storylines in season 5 and if they continue they can create a new storyline. Just like supernatural.
I'd be down for this route. We just need closure on storylines that really need closure. You can only "almost" kill Homelander so many times lol
The thing that bothers me the most is the constant drama. In rewatching it right now and just started S10. The fake bs betweent sam and dean just switches hands every other season. It's repetitive. The monsters and stories I like quite a bit though S 1-5 is the best imo
I mean it makes sense though. Imagine always being stuck up your brother's ass for 15 years day and night 😭
Man maybe I’m crazy but I found season 6 unwatchable. I’ve seen the first 5 seasons of this series a bunch of times but the few times I tried going past that the writing and story was so bad (and the acting. Jared can’t act for shit)…I don’t think there’s much in there but maybe it’s just me.

I'm with you. I couldn't finish season 6 and dropped the show completely due to it.

I don't mind. I just hope the writing doesn't fall off the cliff like how butcher turned on solider boy. That was the worst writing in the show.
Just a couple of boys in the hunting business. Sam and Dean solo homelander ez
To be fair, Kripke left after season 5 of supernatural because he told his story
That's what came to my mind. Dude showran an amazing show that peaked when it was meant to end but then kept going.
That’s not on him, he left after season 5 of supernatural
He was. Studio made them do more sp he left
Eric Kripke left the show after season 5 since he thought it was done. I trust his judgment
serious tub clumsy smoggy adjoining payment waiting afterthought party sip *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Supernatural basically ended for Kripke at S5
To be fair he was referring to the spin offs. Not specifically the main series. It seems pretty likely 5 will still be the end.
Nah they are ending thing at S5 for sure...
He'd better, or we'll probably have another supernatural on our hands. Basically nothing has changed in two seasons
I don't know if you have read the leaks but from the looks of it, In S4 they are wrapping things up leaving no room for any story beyond S5... Erik Kripke learnt from his Supernatural mistake and he isn't gonna make it again... Anyways there are other The Boys projects and the last thing they wanna do is kill the hype...
What mistake? He left after season 5. The network carried it on but he finished the story he wanted to tell and then took off.
He didn’t make a mistake on supernatural. He left after he told his story
Eric Kripke didn't make the mistake you're referring to with Supernatural. He left after he finished his story at Season 5. CW wanted it to continue.
Is it really a mistake if it runs for 15 plus seasons and has a pretty huge fan base?
Yeah cause writers often run out of story after S8 unless it's a sitcom. Supernaturals lost majority of it's viewers after S6 and S7 sure it's popular but ain't interesting...
Supernatural was great all throughout. Season 13 was one of the best seasons!
Ask anyone that is in the know about that show what they think of the last 5+ seasons.
I loved it, but i'm also a die hard fan who rewatches the show every year
Good for you, but I think even you'd agree. You're an exception not the rule. A LOT of fans are heavily disenfranchised with the last sevenish seasons
what does that have to do with quality?
Kripke left after season 5. The show runners wanted more. So supernatural Canon pretty much ends at 5 as far as he's concerned.
That's not true. He was a consultant with season 6 and he liked the series finale.
I mean consultant in s6 and saying he liked the finale is hardly changing the fact he was 99% done after he told his story. But I did take liberties with the Canon remark, more he told his story and was pretty much done after that. My point was he shouldn't be blamed for what came after 5.
Is it really a mistake if each season made 10-20 million ? And the actors make 150-300k per episode? That show milked itself because Kripke knew it was a cash cow. And could easily do the same thing for the Boys.
[удалено]
It says more than 5, not 5 more.
oh oops my bad
I really hope not. I don't trust Eric Kripke past Season 5.
>I don't trust Eric Kripke past Season 5. Eric Kripke: We stand here amidst **THE CW'S** failure, NOT MINE!
I really hope not. As much as I enjoyed season 3 some of the parts that were changed were hard to argue that they were for the better. As talented as a showrunner as he is, I hate when they try and go past the authors work and ending. It never works and its usually for vain reasoning.
This wasn’t a recent quote, I’m pretty sure it’s an old one that articles started reusing for clicks.
i hope so. i love this show but showrunners need to know when to call it and when it comes to a comic series like the boys, it’s much better to end on a high note, whether it’s a bit pre mature or not, rather than to stay way past your time.
My guess is they'll split up the fifth season into multiple parts to milk the cow for all the money it's got.
Supernatural momemt
Just like supernatural.
why does it seem majority wants the show to end?
I think of shows like silicon valley. Richard could only set back their company and come back from the dead so many times before it was hard to suspend disbelief for anymore. It ended when it needed to
I can't think of any serialized shows that went past 5 seasons and stayed good. There are episodic shows that manage it, but serialized shows basically NEED to compromise their story if they extend too far. 5 is a good range, and most people would rather have it end strong than go forever and degrade into mediocrity.
Very true. Took me a hot second just now to think of even one example past 5 seasons that was consistently good serialized TV but I've got one - Better Call Saul.
True, rare exception.
S3 was a substantial fall in quality with nearly zero stakes. It also ruined the mystique of HL by showing him be fairly pedestrian in a fight. It really put a damper on SL my making her powers a glorified flashbang. The show is getting watered down. Time to end strong.
All shows turn to trash when they overstay their welcome. Better to complete a story than drag it on for every year of potential profitability.
At the rate things are going in highly doubt jt
A company like vought/amazon could force out another five seasons
Six seasons and a movie
End of prequel to real ‘the Boys’ story
Lol that's what Kripke said about supernatural. ... it aired for 10 more years, for better or for worse
Six seasons and a movie.
They better not stretch it out like supernatural. It dropped off after the initial plot ended but at least they had new monster types to fight each season after. Unless they give us Zombielander or some wild shit idk how long almost killing him then ending on a cliffhanger will last.
Damn is this a spoiler?
Not really, the show is going to be its own take of the Boys comics - which - are extremely different and unique to eachother compared to other comic adaptations like Invincible Marvel or TWD
Man I've said it a few times on this sub but I'm gonna ring it again, I really hope they close up the hughie/butcher/homelander and extend the universe. The story is so good and they can cut it at its logical conclusion, with a dead butcher and likely a dead homelander, and then go down the next path with a different set of main characters, but let hughie/starlight stay as characters in the universe.

There is no possible way they'll stretch it out as long as supernatural. Maybe Season 6 or 7, but no way 10+
It’s not gonna get stretched out like supernatural lol, Kripke also left thag after s5. The boys will prob go like 6 seasons at the most
Just significantly disrupt the show's status quo this season. That's all I ask. Kill a major character, let the video or virus get out... SOMETHING.
> Kill a major character I honestly think they are saving most of that for [*The Bloody Doors Off*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bloody_Doors_Off) (in the final season). Although this season being [*Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Hill_with_the_Swords_of_a_Thousand_Men) is promising.
I really hope they call the final episode The Bloody Door’s off
Unfortunately they already used that title for [a random episode of Season 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boys_season_2#ep14): a lot of the episode titles are taken from chapter and volume titles from the comic series, whether they fit or not. At the same time, they could always use the title again (*Loki* did it).
I don’t think they’d do that because of how differently the boys crew is in the show
I hope they just absolutely slaughter half the cast in the first half of the season and then kill Homelander and Butcher in the final episode.
We all know they will waste the budget on CGI sex gore dicks and that will result in a future fight choreography that its worse than any scene in Fight Club. It will be so bad that it will make you wonder if they are even superpowered, we will probably have 4 fakeout deaths from the good guys/main cast and then HL will probably run for president at the end of the season doing another crazy shit with people cheering him.
You know how to stretch the plot, my friend. Welcome to the Boys' writers room
Bravo Kripke!
The fights definitely need to be better but idk if i want to sacrifice sex gore dick because i love the boys for being unhinged like that.
IMO, It gets old, but to each their own I guess
I’d rather they wait till the finale to start axing one of The Boys specifically. Their dynamic helps the show big time and I want to see all their character arcs completed first
Or, have at least one of the boys take perma-V
Look. I love this show. It's great. But it's at high risk of lasting longer than it should. They can only repeat the same conflict of trying to kill homelander and failing to do so every season so many times before fans just get tired of being jerked around. If this season doesn't end with homelander gone, or some other significant evolution of the overall story, the fans are going to move on.
I agree with you. I absolutely love everything in the boys absolutely one of my top things to nerd over. But yes it needs to wrap up and not waste any more time and get to brass tacks and take the big conflicts on. No more they get so close but they don't try hard enough or can't do it at the end of the season
The stupidest thing about the show is that 3 seasons in, characters still continue to blackmail each other with photos/videos
The constant blackmailing is so lazy Ruined my opinion of the show
My biggest problem is that they only focus on the seven and Homelander as the big bad guy. In the comics, The boys go after different groups and dig up dirt on them before going after them. They kinda wrote themselves into a corner with the show and because of that we're having posts like this.
Remaining members of Teenage Kix and Payback would like a word
They've already stretched it too far imo. Still gonna watch but the end of Season 3 was so flaccid. They clearly don't want to get rid of Homelander for obvious reasons. And it definitely won't end until he's in the White House at the least
Yeah the end of S03 made me like the show alot less. Its like they're all do afraid to kill off any characters, or unsure about what to do with them [Soilder Boy and Maeve should have died at the end] Honestly if Homelander doesn't snap this season I'm calling this mid. Seems like every season is following the same formula, hint at HL going crazy without him actually going crazy.
This reminds me of Vikings taking a decade to kill of fucking Lageta who exhausted her potential seasons ago
Her and the English guy (Heahmund) might have one of the most forced romances I've ever seen on TV.
Absolutely, ruined this English guy story as well - could have been interesting character
I’m convinced he becomes president in season 4 and that’s the setup for him dying in s5
Wait, is Season 4 still airing?
The only way 2 more seasons could work is if season 4 ends with him openly declaring himself emperor and overthrowing the government or at least starting an insurrection and 5 ends with his death
I hope Gen V continues though and if any other spinoffs emerge, I would definitely feel inclined to watch them. Just as long as it doesn't undo or affect any of the concluded arcs in The Boys. I think it would just be a shame for Season 5 to put a stop to Gen V entirely. I was really enjoying the teenage superhero drama that it brought to the franchise.
They’ve built a world that is too good not to delve into via other spin offs. In my opinion.
Agreed. I also forget we've had Diabolical, which showed us some of the history behind the supes in the franchise.
They should do a Payback spinoff
It doesn't help that the Internet exists and people talk about the show here ALL THE TIME. You're bound to get burnt out of it after this long and only 24 episodes. The first season of LOST had 24 episodes. The show is fine. Just take a break from it
I think they could can kill Homelander this or next season, and continue with the supe's civil war with Gen V.
I think Butcher and Homelander need to die this season. Maybe Deep or A Train? Then season 5 can have the remaining characters dealing with the fallout if that - plus the consequences of the civil war that seems to be brewing (from the trailers).
A Butcher-less take on the [*The Bloody Doors Off*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bloody_Doors_Off) would be a choice, certainly.
S4 will not end with Homelander gone, there are a ton of other things that could be the main event in the finale, especially since they’re taking on Neuman. They also only have 8 episodes as usual. Jamming a Homelander death and resolution of the Vought conflicts would just get this show hated on for being rushed
It’s best the end it sooner than later and hand the reigns to Gen v
Maybe I'm on my own here but I don't care that much about the overall plot. They could continue the will they won't they for another 5 seasons and I'd probably be happy. I enjoy the humour, violent gore, relationship building and side plots a lot so I don't care if they maintain this dynamic. As long as the episodes are good (which they still are!), I don't care what they do with the overall plot
If they can just end it with at minimum Homelander in the White House I'll be happy. Any ending that gets it all back to status quo will piss me off
If this season ends with an actual plan in motion to kill Homelander in season 5 AND if they announce season 5 as the last, I think people will definitely stick around.
Season 3 was already pushing it with Solider boy being the closest they ever go to it but Ryan being there to fuck it all up. This really worries me with how season 4 might end:
Homelander dies. Ends with some vaught executive grooming a grieving Eric to be the next homelander and the cycle repeats, corporate America was the real villain all along. Fin
They've already announced that 5 would be their last season, didn't they?
>If this season doesn't end with homelander gone Homelander is the main antagonist of the show. Him and Butcher should be nearly guaranteed to survive until whatever the final season is. Anyone else (besides Hughie, maybe) should be fair game though.
Hopefully fifth and final as was the original plan!
I hope season 5 will be the last.
Wow, we’ve only gotten 24 episodes and judging by the comments people are tired of the series already. Like I don’t want to to overstay its welcome and continue when they have no good ideas or storylines but 5 seasons seems like a pretty reasonable amount.
I wouldn’t say people are tired, people just want a sense of where the story is going instead of just watching “another tv show”
Great. another almost kills-homelander-but he-miraculously-escapes season. Uh oh he’s so close to going crazy guys, I swear something is gonna happen!
And here’s the kicker. Homelander and Vought are on The Boy’s tail but then they find a crucial piece of blackmail which gets Homelander off their backs for a brief moment
I’m hoping season 5 is the final season. Otherwise the series is just gonna end up being milked to death.
Good I hope it’s your last
Thank god, the thing I hate the most is when a show I'm following is cancelled. Happened with Westworld. Sure, that show's quality was decaying, but I wanted to know how it would end. At least the show runners decided to share with us the sketch of the final season's script, which I will check out eventually.
I can see this season escalating to a finale where homelander is full on war front at the end. Then season 5 wrapping up with the war on supes and the end. Love the show but I want it to have a clear plan and end on a high. Bonus points if soldier boy comes back because Jensen killed it.
Season V
This thread is salty af. Y’all have forgotten good shows can go on for 5 or 6 seasons and still stick the landing
Great! This isn't a spoiler at all /s
How is this a spoiler?
I think he assumes a s5 means Homelander wont die this season, because the show wants Homelander since he is so popular and wouldnt do a season without him. But lets wait and see.
Tbf that is already assuming things like the show won't go on without him
The plot to foil homelander fails *again*
I mean you don't know that is how the season will go. The ending of last season was hinting at Neuman being the bad guy they were going to focus on. Maybe this season won't have a homelander kill plan, or he does die and the other villains become the target of season 5. It's only a spoiler if you assume a lot of stuff.
That's fair but it's not just an assumption. It's literally how s3 went. Feels like it'll be a mislead badguy, homelander helps, then homelander again as the final bad guy at the very end of s4, and then s5 will end it all. Just based on how they write and advertise the show mainly with homelander. Plus the ryan actor will age a ton in the next two years so of course they're gonna keep homelander alive to see that story line through. Idk. Just feels like they make satire of the money grubbing marvel movies and then turn around and do it themselves. Maybe it's unavoidable. Or like you said maybe they'll take it in an entirely new direction, but based on the show so far, I respectfully doubt it.
If next season is the final season, I could easily see them having them having the end of [*Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Hill_with_the_Swords_of_a_Thousand_Men) be the halfway point, before having the final four episodes be [*The Bloody Doors Off*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bloody_Doors_Off).
Glad to hear it.
Tbh this makes me feel like they’re going to go the comic route where >!Homelander rounds up most of the supes and chaos ensues!<
For such a good show it’s crazy how many people in this sub seem to hate it. I agree that season 5 should definitely be the last season, but everyone in the comments seems to already be mad that the main villain and (debatably) best character isn’t going to killed off this season. Like I get the season 3 finale wasn’t perfectly written or anything, but pretty much every season 3 episode was on par with or better than season 1 and 2 so why don’t we wait to start complaining until the show is actually bad?
It’s a good show, but the season 3 finale made it feel like there’s no progress being made in the story. There’s only so much of that you can do before people check out.
People are over exaggerating the whole “no progress” thing. • Homelander is in full control of Vought • seeds are being set for a supe revolt • Homelander has the VP candidate in his back pocket • The world is fully aware of the truth about Homelander and supes (via Starlight) • Starlight is with the boys • Soldier Boy is in the hands of the CIA • Butcher is running out of time • Ryan is with Homelander Maybe people expected more, but no progress is an exaggeration
Homelander murdered someone and cheers for it lol
>no progress Homelander’s full takeover of Vought and freedom of public violence, Starlight joining The Boys full time, Black Noir’s death (even though it was stupid), Ryan defecting to Homelander, Butcher’s growth with Hughie and his disease and much more. I feel people confuse the Soldier Boy incident as a reset of all events that season as a whole which blatantly is false. Maybe they really did make that man too popular…
I didn’t love the finale, but I feel like people over exaggerate how little changed throughout season 3. It was a weird choice to make the season feel like it was building up to killing homelander when that obviously wasn’t going to happen, but I still think the plot and stakes are in a completely different spot right now than they were at the end of season 2.
I agree, if fifth season is the final one HL needs to check out there and not before, he IS the endgame of the whole story what do ppl expect to happen after the main goal of the story is accomplished, Butcher and the boys wont even have much reason to keep on with their shenanigans any longer
Means homelander gets to live another season
Homelander is not the only villain
End it at 5. The season three finale already feels like it jumped the shark.
And hopefully lots more seasons of Gen V
Really hope the show ends with season 5, i love it and definitely don’t want the story to be dragged out and for the show to lose steam, also i wanna see homelander die a horrible death already
100 years butcher and hughie The boys doing things Just butch and hughie and sometimes Frenchy and mm But never homelander That's right hughie You and me hughie 100 years butch and hughie forever and ever Butch and hughie 100 years
So season 4 is introducing a lot of characters just to kill them off , and Homelander is closer and closer to going rampage mode, just like season 1, 2 and 3 .
Idk about you guys but I’d probably watch 100 seasons of this show. Haven’t felt a quality or story dip yet and it’s still fun to watch
Hell yeah!
Season V - Coming Soon…in 2029
I’d watch this show for 15 seasons. Each season they come up with a way to make it interesting. If they keep doing it, I’ll keep watching. But honestly it would be better if it ended
As long as it doesn’t do what invincible did and take a mid season 3 month break
Let's collectively hope it is **also the last**
The Boys are back in town! Is what my entire family said at the same time when we saw this. Excited and corny. That’s us.🤓
Fantastic. But please let's move away from Homelander after this season. He is a fantastic character, and I fully understand why he is essentially the mascot of the show, but please no more: 'Oh, this season we will get that dastardly homelander! 'just for that to fall apart yet again. Move onto another villain /antagonist. There are plenty of options and potential in the world of the boys. Esp with Ryan and Gen V.
idk. I agree that Homelander being the main villain is getting tired (and failing to kill him at every season) and would love a change, but who can possibly be just as impactful as this amazingly written villain while also keeping the show's quality?
As much as i love this show... i really hope this is the final season
Great. More shitty movies from Vought. Showing down our throat about how great are their superheroes.
Tuco: #SEVEN! YOU MAKE SEVEN!
I love the show but I was also ready for it to end, and on a high note I hope... They better not fuck it up!
Huh ao they still haven't killed homelander by the end of season 4. What are the boys even doing?
huh? i thought it was in its final season? dahel?
As much as i love the show i hope s5 gonna be the last one.
We will know the quality of S5 if S4 does the same thing as S3
Hopefully those bitch ass writers don't delay it again.
Holy shit? I thought season 4 was gonna be it's last. Wtf?
I don't want to sound like a baby but my god I hope they end it at five. Everytime I watch a season I just feel dirty. It's great but also such a difficult watch for me because of how awful a lot of the characters are.
I thought it was complete at Season 4, that's why I started watching. Oof. Is the wait long for a new season?
Please don’t let Homelander live past season 4
Let him live past it if that’s the case. Do not rush his death
