I don't think this is working out between us.
They got some weird kinks☠️☠️☠️
hunny bunny, when you are really smart you throw assumptions out like those little velcro balls and see what sticks, and what gets crushed.
@@Doctor_Dank did you forget to meet daddy at the dick docks? you know how he hates tardiness.
The way Sameer looked off to the side kinda confused at where Butcher was looking at Joe, definitely seems like Joe is a hallucination
Yea we knew already knew that he was a hallucination from last episode
@@warden1733 wdym?
@@warden1733 maybe we're watching different shows because it was never proven that he was a hallucination in the last ep. Or are you theorizing that he's an illusion? If that's the case, your theory doesn't automatically make it a fact.
@@ccc34678 its quite obvious that he is a hallucination, and I’m saying that you could’ve already known it from previous episodes, ofc it’s not a fact u fkn nerd, but it’s highly likely to be
Whats up with these hallucination theories??💀 last week people kept saying Hugies mom is a hallucination
Bro, Frenchy's line about the sheep fucking killed me -- "This man is in no shape to fuck a sheep"
Cuz he’s drugged up 😭😭
"They would eat him"
I was on the floor 😭😭
He's French, what do you expect?😂
@@aliengranpahis not Welsh
But Hughie is in shape to fart on a chocolate cake. Tek Knight would enjoy that.
I'm just glad we can kill the theories that Hughie's mom is a hallucination and I appreciate Hughie's arc with his Dad.

I was convinced she wasn't real. Like I would have bet money on it.
Same, I really didn’t like that theory. It doesn’t make any sense
@@aliengranpamaking both butcher, hughie, and technically Frenchie all having hallucinations seems kinda repetitive tho
I just find it incredibly stupid that the v just happened to fall out of his jacket, then his mother knowing what that even is, and without hesitating injecting hughies father with it without saying anything
Bro Hughie's Father pulled a reverse-flash in the Cop at the Hospital
Yess!! Thought that, toooo. Hugie can reverse-flash, too!
The showrunners really did a lotta us proud referencing that Reverse-flash move, too dope!!
Ok I'll bite: what's a reverse-Flash? Running backwards in slow-motion?
@@mattgilbert7347 no, speedsters can phase allowing them to vibrate and pass through objects, reverse flash uses it to pass inside the body and riping his heart, search "reverse flash kills cisco" its the same scene as in these episode of the boys
@@mattgilbert7347 no just search "reverse flash kills cisco" and you ll understand the scene similarities
Dam this episode is F diabolical, I thought Ryan will think badly of his father, instead of giving him a chance and letting him be manipulated again, and seeing Butcher become a human being a bit, end up seeing him become a monster again. Every character in this episode clearly trying to fight their inner demons but end up ironically, kind a sad and that's kind a how life work in real life
Check my community tab for spoilers/leaks on this season 4.
What?
@@mrj4082 basiically, the episode highlights how each character is struggling with their inner demons, leading to a somewhat sad and ironic outcome, which mirrors the struggles and imperfections of real life.
I'm so used to seeing "kind a" as either kinda or kind of, and reading this comment broke my brain. I am now gonna go crawl in a cave.
Hughies dads death was so sad acting was so good show just gets better and better
That's Simon Pegg for you
Arent he just back to coma?, i mean sure his not have many day left but his not dead yet
@@bintangun8347 Hughie explained to Daphne that he was mixing chemicals that would painlessly kill his dad. Hugh Sr. is 100% dead now.
Probably yeah@@decepticonxhunter4850

The biggest surprise for me was when homelander actually realised that he was doing the same thing to ryan.
And continues to do it 😂😂😂😂
He's free from control. He's not free from being a violent sociopath
To me Homelands just uses his 'honesty' and 'realisations' to give Ryan false hope/trust to get manipulated even more. I didn't like how quickly Ryan became 'Evil' again after just a few seconds after saying "I want to help people".
@@Ezol1I don’t see how he was evil, he’s a kid. Man is abusive to women, tells a weak woman to beat him up equals justice. At least that’s the level of justice we display in most hero media especially for kids
Honestly, the moment Stan came on screen, I really didn’t care about anyone else. that’s not anything to do with bad writing or the characters, it’s literally just Esposito’s portrayal of the character.
He’s absolutely captivating.
Also, whoever did his fashion? They should be proud of themselves. The man walked out of prison like he owned the ground he walked on.
I was actually a little underwhelmed by his character after the initial hype of his reintroduction
@@TheRockerXtrue, but I’m more excited about what’s yet to come. He’s definitely got something on the way. Whether that’s a covert takeover of Vought or what, it’ll be interesting to see it all unfold.
@@TheRockerXhe still commands respect and has perfect wit. But seeing him being sweet to Neumann is definitely new and unexpected
@@TheRockerXhe does some interview on UA-cam not long ago, he even said "give me temp V i want to kick some ass" or smth along those lines when asked what he'd want for his character's conclusion.
And man, i know people've always point the fact that Giancarlo plays the same type of villain, i humbly disagree, i walked through Far Cry 6, BB/BCS, and The Mandalorian prior to catching up with The Boys..
And i kid you not, every single one of his character had a subtle uniqueness, either in manner of speech, gestures, or simply the way they interact with other characters.
Giancarlo might be coming quite late into the industry, but i'm glad he and Bryan got the chance to steal the spotlight for over a decade now.
Felt the same way!!!
9:36 Stan likes starlight because she actually was a “real hero” she wasn’t like the other infants on the 99th floor. She didn’t kill prostitutes or throw tantrums she actually wanted to help people
☝️💯
she still casually kills or severely hurts people
@@FriendlyGhost-rf7tq
But never with Purposeful intent! She Always believed she was doing genuine good!
@@FriendlyGhost-rf7tqlike who ?
@@danielramsey6141 she purposely killed the guy to steal his car
How did Butcher have the time to chop off Sameer's leg and then tie him up without anyone else noticing? And how did they not find Sameer after searching.
He just kidnapped him and chopped his leg off later before the forensics arrived.
Butcher has powers based on his multiple personality disorder he has created out of result of overuse of V and maybe a sentient super powered cancer. That’s how he exploded Ezekiel.
he had a power😊l
I agree
Because the forensics were literally there in one of the following scenes & showed Victoria Sameer’s leg as “proof” of his passing
Seems abit contrived
It’s interesting to know that both Hughie and his father share similar powers both of them having to do with spatial manipulation Hughie could teleport while on Temp V while his father can phase through things. this could mean that whatever V does to your cells that makes you into a superhero has some sort of hereditary factor.
Yeah I think one of the kids in Gen V also had similar powers to his father
But what about Victoria's doughter?
@@razvanrisnoveanu1513 yeah her powers are way different from neuman's , in gen v there was a guy who could manipulate metal and his son had the same power as well. I don't think we'll ever get an actual explanation
@@pep4338 I think the powers are more based on mental trauma that all the characters face. Or at least what kind of headspace they are in.
@@pep4338 or its what her FATHERS powers WOULD have been? i swear you redditors share the same liberal braincell
I'm just surprised how they didn't have Tek Knight interrogate everyone in that room one by one.
True
true, but that would be boring.
It would kill the plot and I think Sage already knows that A-Train is the betrayer.
Kate could know instantly, she reads minds
@@pacificplugThe look sage gave to homelander after they started killing cameron is that they defo know it was a train
Am I the only one who thinks that Victoria has her own more reasonable agenda? No necessarily better. I don’t think she has the same disdain towards nonsupes as Homelander does.
We already know the answer, Stan specifically says he raised her to ALWAYS play both sides. She will never be one-sided on any position (clearly even with her own daughter).
So her ideas will always be less radical and therefore "better" than Homelander's radicalized psychotic beliefs.
That "a what?"
When Stan almost says "monster".
I guess she is playing both sides, but the finale being her assuming the role of US President along with her supe status reveal'll stir things up, legally, and emotionally.
One thing for sure is she'd be around for Season 5.

They should try to be besties with her I don't get it.
That was already shown long ago
My theory is that Ashley took a sample of compound V to take for herself because of how threatened she felt by the 7
that or she figures out something with the hair
I don't think it's that deep, I think she just went there to leave a floater like Cameron suggested when she was venting to him.
It still makes no sense to me that the V’d up animals could go through human bodies but not wooden beams
Human bodies are softer. You saw how easily they tore through Neuman's people
i mean human is really really soft
Coz they don't have thinking capacity, those animals are after flesh n blood & V made them monstrous
@@duyanhng8430a human body is harder to punch through than a wooden door
@@uzii6540 not really I believe. The bones are pretty much the only thing difficult to get through but flesh and skin isn't really an obstacle.
Victoria blowing up one chickens head then apparently forgetting her superpowers when it came to the sheep because the rest of the plot had to happen
Yeah, this is kinda bothering me too.
I justified it in my mind by thinking that she was afraid that while she's busy targetting the sheep one by one (because it seems she needs to be actually looking at what she wants to pop for it to happen) , one of them will get her, because they're fast and flying.
But yeah. I am not convinced by that justification myself.
I think she has to be able to stand in place for like 5 seconds before popping a head. With like 5 sheep one could’ve easily killed her while she just kills 1 sheep and she worth more than that
The chickens were moving at a much slower velocity than the sheeps. Vic can't explode high velocity targets, which is why she only killed the driver at the end of the episode when the car reached the stop sign.
Its V52 because Vought was founded in 1952.
Whoa. I forgot that. Cool😅
It’s also a reference to DC Comics relaunching as “The New 52” in 2011
52 weeks in a year.
Check my community tab for spoilers/leaks on this season 4.
@@byronlee1261 I had the same conclusion when seeing the V52
I love the camera work in this episode because the reveal is always a nice surprise. Also Simon Pegg's character pulling off a Shadowcat move passing through walls, no control over his powers as he kills people in the hospital is bonkers.

Poor guy!! Powers he didn't ask for and now Vought will probably taint his legacy
And it makes u think will hughie feel how those families feel remember his gf died the same way his dad is running around killing them in the hospital this show is so good it’s full circle his whole reason for going up against vought he and his mom made the dad the exact thing
Imagine Ashley’s been somehow poisoning homelander causing him to lose his hair and age

Holeeeeeeeee........! I think you just won today's internet..!
@@user-ul8rh2su3nerm sir i think you just won the internet!!! Have my updoot! * Tips fedora *
That would change the whole show lol.
@@suryasingh9738how ? That would actually be the most unexpected plot twist
Starlight has projectile dysfunction probably because of the Firecracker assault, abortion, and her foster home being vandalized.
Virus. Watch GenV
@@AlexKwiatek no, kimiko has no issues with the virus and neither does neuman. The virus spreads through DIRECT contact.
@@AlexKwiatek and the virus doesnt make u lose powers, it just makes u sick
@@AlexKwiatek The virus can only be caught directly or through bodily fluids. Starlight is in her own head, which is the cause of her inability to fire her powers up. She's obviously afraid that she's going to lose control of herself again, so she's subconsciously preventing herself from being able to use them. That's just my 2 cents though.
She’s suffering from spider-man 2 syndrome.
9:41 I think Stan was her “silent helper” type (kinda like Neumann and Marie from Gen V). He’s the reason why she’s in the seven, and he made her co-captain specifically to denounce homelander’s behavior. Keep in mind that Edgar and Starlight share disdain for the same people (Edgar dislikes pretty much every supe except Noir)
I bawled watching Hughie say goodbye to his dad. My mom was sick in the end and I would have struggled similarly if given the chance. But I know she's not suffering anymore....ugh
I think kessler is his parasite talking to him, its his guilt manifesting just like becca because he couldn't save them both. At one point kessler also said that " How bout we go to a mission, just the 2 of us" or something like that. And also its kinda weird that kessler shows up at the most random places.
man i hate how they have handled frenchie and Kimiko
definitely. like they built up 3 seasons worth of kimiko and frenchie dynamic only to throw it all away into the gutter
@@wwa2016 what dynamic?
@@wwa2016Nah, in season 3 they tried kissing but it didn’t feel right and they said they’d be better as family. You might not remember cause you haven’t rewatched season 3
They made it very clear in season 3 that Frenchie and Kimiko are friends/siblings nothing more
@@maddyc2412 right some people have selective memory lol 👀
I think Kessler isn't real, Hughie's mom is obviously, but definitely think Kessler is, hes never been on camera with anyone, he shows up when Butcher seems to doubt himself abd then you don't see his wife, shes the angel, Kesslers the devil on his shoulder. I just got finished watching it, this season finally feels like its ramping up more, 1-3 were meh, good but meh, I think 4 and 5 have really amped it back up. I have never laughed so hard at a pack of sheep, the sheep inparticular were so fucking funny to me. I liked how they balanced the emotional heavy stuff with that little bit of humor to take the edge off but I think the actors really shined in their performances too. Just my opinion!❤
Episode 5 is a masterclass in "how to" write character interactions..
The moment Stan catch his breath, we could've had a quip to escalate the situation, but no, instead we're given great build up for Frenchie's decision later on, and the fact that Starlight sort of mediates Kimiko and Frenchie made it all the more endearing, only for cgi bull to get ripped by flying sheeps, diabolical whiplash, this episode perfectly encapsulates The Boys' first season.
I love that analogy about the devil and the angel on his shoulders. I wonder if you rewatch, you’ll only see them on the left or the right on Butcher.
Sumir or w.e definitely didn't acknowledge Kessler at all
@alessandrajackson3768 now you're gonna make me go back and watch all fhe times! Lol, I'm so curious now! I like the idea, we know Butcher can be bad but he does have a softer side and it looks like whatever inside him is really taking control because we've seen Kessler a lot now, so back to old Butcher! Man I have to go back and watch that now to see the sided lol❤️
@wrestlerecap1324 Butcher stops and looks over at him, and says "we", and he looks to where Kessler is standing and raises his eyebrows, giving a very distinct wtf look, and I'm not the only one saying this. I think most people think Kessler isn't real at this point, or I'm seeing that anyway, but go back and watch when Butcher looks at Kessler and then he looks to where Kessler should be, but I don't think he sees him. Acknowledge him, no, but look over to the spot where he should be, he does and makes a wincing confused face
Right on time, I just finished the episode myself.
Edit: Pretty sure the thing sage was talking to Tek-knight was about A-train being the leaker, possibly
I doubt it, she seems to know A-Train is on the “good” side but doesn’t share it yet and may even play the long game to be a good guy herself or use A-Train to infiltrate the boys
I think he will die fighting. But he will die as hero. I hated him in season one. But now I care for him as I did for black noir.
At this point nobody can convince me Joe isn’t a hallucination. Sameer looked genuinely confused when Butcher said “we” and looked at where butcher was looking at. Not to mention it seems like Joe just appeared out of nowhere like he’s been doing.
If Butcher's buddy is indeed a hallucination, then who is providing Butcher with all the intel? I hope he's real, because him being a hallucination is kinda dumb.
I got sort of a crazy hypothesis here. It’d be nice to know if he’s real, but it could be both real and a hallucination. Rather, he’s manifesting this man into something real, but something only he can see and he doesn’t realize it. I think butcher may have gotten a smidge of permanent powers from taking too much temp v, and this is one of those benefits.
Baseless, but a fun thought nonetheless.

Maybe it's like a Tyler Durden from Fight Club situation.
@@reginaldbutcha4844He literally took real V as well...
I think Sister Sage was showing Tek Knight a crime that she solved with her super intelligence that he either got wrong / didn't know the answer to. A cute bonding moment between analytical, curious minds!
thank youuu ! i was waiting for this
Kessler gave Butcher physical documents while they sat on a bench and I think on other occasions as well. So I believe he’s real.
We need to see him actually interact with another person. Documents could just be how Butcher's mind conceptualizes, or rather compartmentalizes, information and ideas he associates with the Kessler personality
@@mattgilbert7347 I watched some clips of Butcher interacting with Kessler and you might be right. Now that I think about it the documents Kessler gives him are about the Virus that kills supes, of which existence Butcher was already aware since he found the location where it was made at the end of the GenV show. The drugs Kessler gives him can be easily found by Butcher seeing his connections and all. Besides, since Becca is his Angel on the shoulder Kessler could very well be his Demon. And on top of that we never see Kessler interact with his surroundings: when he’s introduced he never touches the coffee cup and the camera never really focuses on him, or if it does it cuts away almost immediately.
it could very well be a tyler durden situation
Thing is, for anybody who watched _Gen V_ , they would remember Butcher going through The Woods and seeing those bodies himself. He wouldn't need documents because he was actually there.
@@decepticonxhunter4850 Well yes but like Matt Gilbert said the “documents” in question could be how Butcher sees the information he already has and associates them to Kessler. He basically reminded himself of the virus through his evil side which is represented by Kessler and the memories he has of the Woods are the documents that are perfectly fit for Kessler’s character. I don’t know if I made it clear enough because this is some Freudian type of shit and English isn’t my native language.
Right when i finished watching episode 5 his video popped up
I dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet but the biggest secret that Ashely has is that she either has/deleted footage of The Boys rescuing Queen Mave and that shes still alive somewhere.
Love the vid bro! I like this type of content👍
Simon Pegg with super powers was kinda lit.🔥
What’s interesting to me is that they’ve done w very clear and obvious job making the viewers think Kessler isn’t real… isn’t like a subtle thing where you need to go back and see it, it perfectly aligns and is even what I believe a reasonable person would expect. So wouldn’t surprise me if they are doing it to throw us off and he either ends up being really him… or a shape shifting supe with more nefarious intentions?
I think A-Train was talking about Ashley deleting the footage of Maeve surviving at the end of S3.
Oh damn I forgot about lol
Oh yea I forgot about that lol but I don't know how A train would know about that.
so sad hughies dad had to die, not gonna lie his power was hax he could most likely beat homelander with that ability
Seeing as stan edgar is still alive i hope we have a scene homelander meeting James stillwell before the attack on the white house in the comics.
Very interested in the temp V parasites. We never really got an origin on V other than it being designed by the nazis, but no info on where it came from, what its derived from etc etc. Im curious if these worms are just juiced up tapeworms or something entirely more sinister. First Neumans daughter, then Butcher with Eziekiel and now the rabbit
Neumanns daughter has nothing to do with the parasites lol
You think neuman's daughter's powers are the same as the parasites? Could be but i think she'd die from that ,i think they're their own thing , a mutation like popclaw's claws for example
??? Why would Neuman's daughter get a TEMP V parasite from Compound V ...
Wtf episode 5 is already out 😱🏃💨.
There’s a new episode every Thursday
@@thomaslemos2240 thanks a lot 🤝
The strange thing is that despite how strange everyone was in this episode....Butcher's decision is one of the few that makes sense.
Mmm. Nope. He chopped a man's leg off and told him his prosthetic would be made in time for him being forced to make Butcher more virus that kills Supes indiscriminately. The whole series we've begun to see Supes worth keeping alive, so unless they figure out a non-lethal way of reversing V, killing them all in succession would be something of nightmares, kimiko, starlight, even butcher himself has V in his body, and who knows who else by the time this is cooked up. I promise you for what butcher is supposed to be, this is a turn for the worse on his part. Butcher's decision was betrayal for the selfish goal of killing all supes blindly. Which could also go wrong like it literally did in the newest episode. Kimiko said it's not about the V that makes someone bad, it's the person using it. Are you missing the point of entire plot lines lol
@@infernalsorcery7923 All that yapping but the main plot of the show hasn't clicked: Butcher wants to kill Homelander & free Ryan from his influence, in memory of his late wife. You typed all that condescending nonsense & still omitted the main thread that ensures the show continues. Butcher has always had his eyes on the prize, since Season 1. So him keeping that doctor alive was very aligned with his character, idk what you think you're watching😂
Translucent's film bombed because nobody saw it.
You stole this from another recap
thanks for the video
something I'm not sure if anyone picked up on: they just kinda left the dead sheep full of the virus lying around for scavengers, and since the virus passes by bodily fluids it's likely to pass onto the babies of those scavengers, pretty much immediately actually as they'll be feeding the dead sheep to their young, we might be seeing it spread fairly quickly through vultures, bugs(flying ones namely), wolves, lions, crows, raccoons, you name it
Anyone else think Neuman may have caused Hugh's stroke to sideline Hughie during all of this?
Not outside the realm of possibility
This has been the best breakdown of all the ones I've watched, New Rockstars, heavy spoilers etc.
It's becoming my go to channel
You know an episode is good when it starts with Butcher saying we are gonna need a presidential pardon & ends with us in tears!
It seems like hughie family has abilities that relate to spacial manipulation
Yeah his dad has similar powers but they seem more powerful but also uncontrollable
*that plot armor is op*
Check my community tab for spoilers/leaks on this season 4.
What plot armor?
Plot armor on all the character made this season kinda trash lol
@@Artists_wrldso who shoulda been killed this season? lol if you ask me I say the other seasons had wayyyyy more ‘plot armor'
They had it from beginning, like Homie could just fly and kill them
There is a hole in the story..namely, why cant they get the virus from the bodies ofnthe sheep?
6:52
So Butcher is basically Alex Mason in B01 imagining Viktor Reznov is still alive
What if butcher isn’t hallucinating and he can actually see dead people?
That'd be pretty lame for a sci-fi.
I think Kessler is real. When Butcher was hallucinating Becca earlier in the season after falling out of the shower, his hand went through her leg when he went to use it as leverage to get up, showing us that he can’t touch her so she’s a hallucination. He does a successful handshake and a hug with Kessler, showing us that he’s real.
52 is a reference to the relaunch DC Comics did in 2011 called “The New 52”
I cant believe cate , and sam were the least memorable scene but , i also feel like they had their scenes cut they looked very creepy when they showed their support for homelander though.
Tek and Sage working together is a terrifying sentiment. What did stan mean? Can he control ambient light in the opposite way? IE.... darkness? :o
Mark my words with this one: A train doesn't die this season, I kinda got the feeling.
Idk, any time I see a badish character get redemption like he has they die shortly thereafter. We had tonight's fakeout but I bet he's gone by the end of the season
@@TeddyOG Let's see then💀
@@Ark09995Leaks show he doesn't die
@@OliverRedit bro can deeping out so fast lol
I think homelander knew a train was up to something, it was kinda sketchy calling a train to beat up the reporter.
My current theory is that the supe virus is the Boy's version of a symbiote, as in its a virus that was enhanced with compound V. The idea of it attaching itself to a host and having bizarre tentacle powers was my main reasoning, but that was still mostly speculative. However, if Kessler is in fact a hallucination, it may mean that Butcher is having "venom" style conversations with himself as a result of the parasite. Note that Kessler is trying to maneuver a more despicable and violent side of Butcher, a sort of "Bully Maguire" dynamic. It wouldn't be the first hallucination Butcher has had either since his contracting the virus.
... why are people equating Temp V to supe virus .... he wouldn't have been exposed to the virus for as long as he had hallucinations, which was from TEMP V damage /mutations, made worse by taking real V. Did any of you bots watch the show
Joe isn’t a hallucination, the same people said Hughies mom is one and the same people also said Butcher hallucinated homelander in his apartment and he never did. Joe Kessler is real
I thought starlight had no powers due to minimal electricity in the area. The house is most likely off the grid, or minimal electricity unless it's clear that it's not .. so that neuman could conduct her tests
but isn't the whole point of this season is to find the virus that kill supe? How the hell can Hughie put down his father so easily with drugs from the hospital.
Yea??!!! Wtf. Or maybe it's because he wasn't born as a supe, so it was easy to kill him😅 idk.
Maybe they don't know hughie smart enough to know that? 😂
I think most supes in general can still be affected internally as much as a regular human (ex. Termite getting high from cocaine back in season 3)
I mean a train also killed popclaw with regular drugs
No, it's not to find a virus that just kills supe, but a virus that kills HOMELANDER. This episode literally says the virus they have isn't powerful enough for Homelander, their goal was to test it on Neuman. Do you guys actually watch?
And for all we know, Hugh doesn't get strong resistance from the V, everyone's different.
I was just stoked to see Esposito / Stan Edgar again. That dude’s delivery is just butter smooth. 😊
Homelander telling the seven they will no longer be celebrities feel like were finally transitioning vought ,and the seven into injustice society curious to see how each one of them will play a role in season 5.
I thought I was getting Viktor Reznov vibes from Joe Kessler.
100 Percent Chance Butcher’s tumor is a sentient telekinetic with the voice of Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
This is the fifth breakdown video I watched for episode 5, but you are the only one who mentioned Kates arm. At first I thought: "Am I missing something about her power set?"
It’s hilarious that Adam deserves punishment for his mistreatment of women, and Homelander uses the product of his UTMOST SA to administer the punishment.
I'm glad I binged Gen V between episodes this week. Perfect timing.
That final 3 second shot of butcher before the credit scene
The smile
That solidified it for me I’d like to try my shot at being an actor
my theory is butcher’s parasite is a venom symbiote type thing and that’s why he’s losing his mind again
I was confused about the virus thing. The only thing I was aware of was the quick bit about Neumann taking the virus from the guy then killing him only for it to have become something prominent later in the episode. I was like, did I miss a really important story arc somewhere?
these closing clips are hilarious lollll
I love how the show version of this presents super heroes as thinly veiled allegories for celebrities in general
The rare thing is Huggies dad dying would’ve happened with our without him meeting the boys. His dad had a stroke but had he not ever met the boys he would’ve never gotten that goodbye
Was i the only one thinking Hugh senior pulled a Jack Torrance?
Episode was fire AF but Tek Knight could've been used to investigate the whole ordeal with the leak but seems like he got another mission from Sage.
Most likely scenario is that Sister Sage already knew that A-Train was the leak and her showing Tek Knight the notebook was her telling him that it was A-Train and not to let anyone know yet just in case he figures it out, hence her "hush" gesture. Why? Whatever Sage is cooking up or plotting in the future involves A-Train. My best guess, since Sage plans everything long term, she's most likely saving the "reveal" of A-Train of being the leak and weaponizing it at the proper moment.
@@Bluewolfzer That is a damn good on-point explanation there👍👍, it definitely could happen indeed.
@@Bluewolfzer but still it would’ve been interesting if tek night was the one who figured it out, and it would make the Gen V characters useful
@@Bluewolfzerso she would share it with him instead of Homelander ? I feel like that piece of info she would keep to herself for now
Sister sage might have a soft spot for A train
Nah, I think it's something petty
And I just realized Tek knight being there he might spot A train and do that lie detector thing on him oh no
Butcher: Oi! Oi! Oi! Homelander’s got me bloody son!
Starlight: 🗿🗿
I think sage is either the final boss or the hero of the entire series depending on what she has planned.
I didn’t think they would get someone like JDM in the show to be a figment of someone’s imagination until this episode.
Reverse flash exploring the multiverse 😂😂😂
The 52 is referring to comic 52 revival.
4:50 A-Train could be referring to her deleting the footage that showed Maeve survived the fall/explosion.
I realized Joe was a hallucination from episode 3 when all the time they kept meeting they were always alone with no one else to acknowledge he is real.
The guy who huey's father phased through in bed that looked like charles xavier's kid from legion.
David Haller. Just a passing resemblance.
I keep wondering why Annie doesn't sue Firecracker for slander and defamation. Is it because Vought has a team of lawyers and its not worth the effort?
That would most likely be the case since Vought had always been covering up whatever shit the supes would pull
Hugh Sr’s power was phase not teleportation, two very different things😅
First Anthony starr now simon pegg emmy all around for their incredible performance.
Sage definitely knew that it was A-Train that leaked the footage, she would’ve had Kate manipulate everyone in the room to find the rat. She needs A-Train for her plan to work
Every time I hear Victoria Newman I'm thinking of The Young And The Restless lolll
I love how starlight talked about forgivness while being starlight...
The fact that hughies whole mission was to stop vought bc his gf was literally ran through by a train and he contridicted himself by even getting the v for his dad his mom injecting it and his dad literally doing the same thing to strangers in the hospital ripping them apart by racing through them is such a great plot twist
Thoughts before watching
perhaps Joe Kesslar was once alive but is now dead and now Butcher is hallucinating him much like how Becca was once alive and now that she's actually dead, Butcher is hallucinating her as well.
I feel starlight is going through the same thing Peter Parker was going through in Sam Rami's Spider-Man 2
All right, the season's start was underwhelming, but ep 4 and ep 5 are absolute bangers.
4 and 5 saved it for me
Don't count the eggs before they hatch
why no one is talking bout Butcher's diabolic smile at the end, and that O McDonal song playing after that. The song became so dark in the context after what happened to those fucking sheep and hens in there. 😂😂
This episode was fuking insane 😂😂 omg
I think sister sage was sharing her notes with tek knight regarding her investigation into the mole. There is no way sister sage believes it was the reporter or the random worker. But she can’t go against homelander thoughts without having clear proof, especially if she is accusing another supe
