I'd like to doff my WBAH cap to Anthony Starr. He had a difficult part to play and I think he pulled it off well. Props to Australia and good on ya, mate.
New Zealand didn't do too badly either.
But after five years of this **** nothing could prepare me for the most shocking death this episode. You know the one I'm talking about. RIP Terrah. 🥲🐶
I hope Vought Rising has some present day sequences. Stan is still a ****ing ****. (Boy, will I be glad not to have Butchah in my head anymore.)
I only have two questions. Okay, three:
Why didn't Marvin's arms get ripped off when he stuffed the titanium gag in Oh Father's gob? And what the **** kind of octopus was that who could pierce Kevin's skull? And most importantly, where did Hughie learn to pull of a pitch perfect Karl Urban impression?!?

Not too much of a shock because I could tell he (not to be insensitive with this word choice)flatlined by the way he was laying in the shot. How things were playing out, it seemed predictable.
1. Well, “she” did detail the strength of it.
2. I wasn’t happy with his speed. Thought he’d be much faster like the DC character.
3. While watching, my wife laughed and remarked, “He’s been around him long enough.”

I was joking about with the spoilers. Of course it was predictable. A fitting punishment for the other guy's ruthless actions in the series even if he was on the side of good. He still had it coming.
1. She also mentioned the strap was reinforced but his attacker didn't even tie it. It should have popped out with the force, taking his arms with it.
2. Presumably his opponent would've been equally as fast if their powers came from the same source. Whiny little git complained about her spoiling his day when he was the one that assaulted her in the first season.
3. I'm sure your wife was joking. Nobody could hang around someone for long enough to be able to do that so well without any kind of foreshadowing in the script. They had to dub the other guy's voice.
I don't mind the above asspulls. At least they didn't go for a downer ending.
I felt the final ending was fine. My wife felt it a bit anticlimactic because they sped up the last episode from what the first four seasons built. She didn’t watch Gen V with me, but I felt that wasn’t utilised as best it could. I still haven’t read the comics, but was filled in watching Charlie’s reviews from Emergency Awesome.
No doubt about Anthony Starr. I only watched a few episodes of Banshee when that debuted and didn’t know it was the same actor when The Boys previewed. Homelander, pre-politics, is definitely one of the scariest characters ever, but not as scary as people with unlimited money.
The pacing of the final season certainly was erratic but I think they mostly stuck the landing despite my worst misgivings. I'm sure those **** s on r/the boys will rip it to shreds but I couldn't give a ****.
As a lifelong comics fan I would heavily advise against reading The Boys or its follow up Dear Becky. They're not badly written but in my opinion the series is a mean-spirited screed against superheroes with a lot less warmth and heart than the show. Kripke's digs against the superhero craze and Hollywood were a little bit more nuanced, I felt, and they managed to work in some effective political allegory without derailing the concept.
Having watched the initial season I'll fit in Gen V S02 later at some point. I feel for those who were suckered into watching both seasons thinking it was pivotal to the main show and would have some kind of impact on the climax but it's pretty well made and acted in itself from what I could tell from S02E01.
Of course the real world is scarier. I come to shows like this to escape it.
My wife was more than happy to watch the series due to the Supernatural characters being in it.
I feel for me it was more someone actually put on screen the what if people labelled as heroes did bad things. Superman III and Justice League had brief moments of Superman unleashed. Spider-Man, a bit of that with the symbiote , but that first few minutes of S1E1 really used the quote “You didn’t see that coming?” for the next four seasons for viewers.

Maybe it's innovative for movies and tv but like my friends who read comics I'm so sick of the supes gone bad thing as it's been done to death in the comics. I'm with James Gunn when he says these days just wanting to make the world a better place might be the real rebellion. Tom Taylor's Injustice tie-in was done pretty well, though.
