When all the others are tired, Kimiko is happy to see Frenchie. Honestly, Karen Fukuhara just owns the part of Kimiko and is just a joy to watch
The actress also has a UA-cam channel:D !
I was in shock when kimiko screamed i got goosebumps what an awesome finale.
I was like, who's saying no? 😂 took me a sec
It actually made me tear up fr
Gave me goosebumps to
So dramatic and tragic, great moment
You are easily amused
Ashley getting powers?
Butcher got power?
Starlight flying?
Sage back?
Kimiko speaks?
SOLDIER BOY BACK?!
SEASON 5 GON BE CRAZZZZYYYYYYYY
Let's not overhype it this time
They announced season five is going to be the last season and it’ll end in a movie. Don’t get your hopes too high up😢
Technically Butcher doesn't have the power his tumor inside him does, just like episode 7 of The Boys presents Diabolical
ye in 2026 rip
@@57.ltgaming Kripke Never said it'll end in a movie. MM + Homelander's actor said they are up to it.
MM's shirt saying 'dead prez' was WILD
😅facts, thought more folks would've caught that
They filmed this almost a year ago, and this was planned to come out when it did 6 months ago.. they could have no clue that the state of America would be what it is when this dropped
MM always wear 80s to 90s Hip Hop group t-shirts. Just a coincidence but the timing of this episode makes you wonder right? 😅
@@julianponce1854 which makes it all that much crazier. If things played out a little differently, I bet we would have had a delay of release followed by some obvious CGI covering his shirt.
He always wears hip hop shirts and it was perfect for the theme
M.M and Huey not being able to keep it together killed me lmfaoooooooo
SAME!
Starlight took off at the end was sick like superman almost.
I liked it so bad
They can do flying and super speed so well, it's so impressive.
It’s the exact same effect used for flying characters since Smallville
more like ironman
Reminded me of Neo in the Matrix
RIP Ashley 2 😭😭😭😭
Gone too soon
@@nickneuharthbut went out in style
*Ashlee
On god
I love the way butcher angles his head when he says something sinister 😅
It’s like Wanda
The infamously known Kubrick stare and the Dutch angle
@@erikfinkel2717isn't the Kubrick stare the one Jenna adapted for Wednesday? Where they look basically like at their eyebrows and scowl?
@@Stoned_Loki No clue
@@erikfinkel2717 Lmaoo 😂.
I was actually sad to see Victoria die. That scene was insane.
Sameee! It felt gut wrenching (oh damn, pun unintended, sorry).
I rarely disagree with Jessica but Frenchie and Kamiko’s relationship realization was not out of the blue. On the contrary it was a long time coming and I actually cheered and said “it’s an about time”.
Thank you! I don't understand where people are getting the " family vibes" fro? . Frenchie has always loved kimiko and even in season 1 ,kimiko tried to make herself prettier for him. They almost blew it and I'm glad it was a happy cinematic kiss and tragic ending. Frenchie was always there for his "Mon coer" since day 1
ryan killed the two people that loved him thats going to play a part
I feel like he's a lost cause at this point,him not showing ANY remorse or hesitation after killing one of the people that actually loved him. That did it for me.
@@tinashe9616the whole family is dying the next season for sure soldie boy, homelander, ryan and butcher
@@tinashe9616 idk wtf the writers are doing with him because he's all over the place at this point. One moment he's crying over accidentally hurting someone, the next he's viewing himself as a god and playing with people like toys. He becomes whatever the scene needs him to be, worst past of S4 imo.
@@yderga8707I found him quite convincing. Mostly because he is meant to be 11 years old. He hasn't even hit puberty. And he has been so confused for the last year-ish. Meeting homelander, finding out his childhood neighbourhood was a total lie, his mother has been keeping secrets from him his whole life, he has superpowers that he did not know about at all, everyone wants him to be a weapon for their side, he has unreal power, and again he is 11 years old.
I don't think a kid with that many issues would have any kid of consistency in their actions.
But that's just me, I've taught a lot of kids this age and their allegiances are very fleeting.
@@roronoauchiha69 you promise? Lol
Ashley is the thinker
so the same like Sage but with a big visable brain?
@@daytondemeester9307 probably can see a little into the future that would be cool
mhm and we getting a gen v season 2.
Or the leader from incredible hulk
More like the tickler.... Poor Huey....
Was speechless when Neumann got cooked
That was wild
Felt like it came out of no where honestly
Wish it hadn’t happened
I couldn’t look away from the screen omg.
The satisfaction ❤
Calling Kim and frenchies relationship “rushed” is crazy like it didn’t take us till season 4 to get them to admit their feelings n kiss 😭 I thought it was done great. We all wanted it. U did too
Annie being mad at hughie for literally being assaulted is ridiculous
I would too but moved on.
They literally made up by the end of the episode, if you were trapped for ten days without any of your friends realizing wouldn't you also be emotional or overdramatic?
They made up didnt they?
Deadass!
They made up like 2 minutes later. Not a big deal, it was played off for more comedic reasons
Ashley bouta be a problem next season
"ASHLEE" - The Peak
or an ally
The shape shifter assassination attempt was reminiscent of the opening scene of Xmen 2, with nightcrawler.
my immediate thought. It was such a nice homage
Or Mystique in days of future past
I felt a lot of X-Men from the shifter honestly. Especially a Mystique vibe. There was the obvious shapeshifting part, but also that wall run when they put that agent's head onto the coat hooks. It felt like the kind of fast paced crazy acrobatics Mystique did in the Fox X-Men films to me.
Ryan was on his way to maybe bring a good dude until Grace fucked it up
The quickest way to get a teenager to NOT do something, is to tell them they have to.
yup...why he walked away from homelander earlier too.
Plus regardless of how he feels towards his dads actions, killing him is a leap since it would be the first time he’d kill someone on purpose
Idk if you'd call Ryan a "good dude". His morality was ping ponging all over the place this season.
I get that Homelander was influencing him, but he either cared too much or didn't seem to care about his father at all switching back and forth between a sympathetic kid and a cocky murderous bastard. I know he's a teenager but it was still ridiculously polarizing.
It seemed like the narritive used him for whatever he needed to be in any given scene.
@@yderga8707 I found myself agreeing with Kessler that Ryan is too much of a wild card. lol
They should have just let him go, to figure things out on his own that was a lot to drop on a kid at on time. He probably would have come back
The one person Homelander can't defeat is definitely himself, 100%.
His psyche is his own demise
I thought they were talking about his father aka soldier boy
probably connected to the versions of himself he sees in the mirror in someway.
No it’s not it’s Ryan
Hughie gets essentially SA
Annie: I can't believe you've done this.
so basically male SA victims in general
@@oldmanlokiexactly. Hughie has been SA several times this season and everyone just brushed it off.
@@lilgibbyvert349literally and the writers have said multiple times that they think it’s funny when it happens to hughie
To be charitable, if I had just escaped after 10 days of being locked up by someone who occasionally returned and taunted me, I might not be in much of a position to recognize others' traumas. As they say: "Hurt people, hurt people."
@@jebeda I understand that but he literally got sa the episode before by tech night after having to kill his dad. And still nobody seemed to really give af abt him getting sa by tech night and ashley
No I thought that Kimiko and Frenchie was well set up and that they absolutely belong together
Me too people especially people with very traumatic pasts like Kimiko and Frenchie would definitely push each other away because they feel they're not good enough for them
There was a build-up spanning across seasons between the two... And I'm not saying that they just threw in Collin-- but they kinda did... 'course it's a hook-up kind of situation, but a lot of people really mistook it as something else, and really threw the fan base off by a couple miles from what they already were setting up kimiko and Frenchie with.
It's crap writing, as most of the fan base says
It's just weird what they did with them this season I feel. Like they knew where the characters began and ended but just filled the middle with weird filler that didn't help their ending.
I agree completely!!
@@soupfromyonder8232I feel the exact opposite
Ashlee getting Prehensile hair is a brilliant Idea. Now I want it to happen.
Like medusa from inhumans?
@@darkspaces5776 yup
That would be amazing
Either that or mind control powers.
Born and raised southerner here- "Bless your heart" doesn't really mean "F-you". It's more of a way to say something really mean about or to a person in a nice way (i.e. "That is the dumbest person I have ever met, bless their heart" or "Bless your heart, you tried but clearly it didn't work.")
Yep, we say it in the uk too haha
But NOT always. When said as an intro here I think it just means "welcome".
@@raduck5240makes sense given the origin of the south
Actually- it acts as a “polite” substitute- so you don’t have to say they are dumb. “Bless their heart, they did their best” infers a gross lack of skill at whatever was attempted.
You may mean it that way but delivery is everything mostly Christians do it in a way that's really insulting
bobby singer saying "balls" is an awesome reference fr
And idjit
Absolutely! As a rabid fan of Supernatural, I loved it and I had nobody I could call and say "Did you see that?!?" Thank you!
I was so there for the Bobby Singer Supernatural references with Dakota Bob. Awesome
Shape shifters and all.
@@JonnyAugz should have brought some silver.
I literally smiled so hard when he said idjit😂
Balls 😂
I freaked when he said “idgits” and “balls” !!! Loved it so much
What if Homelander experiments on Solider Boy to try and gain access to his durability/anti-aging power? Maybe that's why they've been so focused on Homelander's gray hairs.
I think grey hairs is showing his aging and getting weaker and now butcher might be strong enough to kill bim
He doesn’t have anti aging, he was frozen, out for a little and frozen again.
@@truffle6082 Agreed, but I also think it'd be an interesting and almost irresistible avenue to take if Homelander is so preoccupied with aging that he tries to exploit one of the only "powers" Solider Boy has that he doesn't. Just think, what wouldn't he do if could stop aging and make himself almost "immortal"...
“Bless your heart” can also be another way of calling someone really stupid but in a nice way🥰🥰
I think soldier boy is actually gonna team up with homelander in season 5 if he's woken up one of the reasons he killed the members of payback is because they turned him into a prisoner i cant imagine he'd be very angry with the boy's for doing the same.
Likee father and son.
Might just be a threeway war between Homelander, SoldierBoy, and the Boys. Soldier Boy might agree to work w/ Homelander but it's clear SoldierBoy does not like Homelander in the slightest. Would be interesting to see some threeway tug of war between Homelander, Soldier Boy, and Butcher; I wouldn't be surprised if those three end up just killing each other mid season 5 and leaving the rest of the Boys and the 7 and Ryan to pick up the pieces of what to do next
I like the idea that homelander often goes to see soldier boy in cryo-sleep and speaks to him like a mirror on the wall. Then when he wakes up soldier boy still hates the shit outta homelander
Maybe Soldier Boy is gonna do his own thing and they’re doing a civil war storyline between supes who support vought and those who want whatever soldier boy goes for and between them are the boys?
Considering the main characters of Gen V have split up that’s not a bad theory
Victoria’s death just felt weird
Right!!!
Agreed. Known about it for months, but it never did seem right. It was exactly as described and just off.
Weird how?
Seriously they could use Karl fricking urban to do some physical brutality to neumann instead he just stands there menacingly with the bad cgi tentacle doing all the works. Even love sausage's sausage are more intimidating than these discount venom.
It might have been the shapeshifter
Butcher is finna go on a murder spree if you read the comics than you know what butcher is about to do😂😂
As soon as he showed up looking nice and healthy again, I was expecting WAY more than just Neumann going down
Facts
Trust you will see more than just that next season@@TheRMF1
Frenchie and Kimiko kissing is one of my favorite moments! I've been rooting for them since the beginning. Glad the whole Collin thing is out the window.
Antony Starr needs an EMMY!!!
Kills it. Chews every frame.
Antony*
@@RoyalWuun petty like that huh…
Yes. But for Banshee
@@RoyalWuun done…lol
Not a fan of Cindy being team Homelander off the bat.
Every locked up supe got probably mind controlled by Cate on Homelander's order
pretty sure Cate made them do it.
Omg…. That makes sense now thanks!
Literally makes no sense
Yeah Cindy did not seem like the forgiving type while breaking out, so mind control certainly makes sense.
I loved the dollar store balloon Sage gave to Homelander 😂
It's funny you say that because I am pretty sure we actually sell that exact balloon in our store.
@@Blasted2Oblivion you're about to be sold out of that balloon now lol
Kimiko became Kenny from South Park this season.
Oh my God. You killed Kimiko.
Frenchie: Yoū bãstårds
If we dont get a scene next season with Soilder Boy, butcher imagining Kessler, and whoever Jared Palecki plays next season all together I will scream.
If Jared isn’t in s5 I’ll be upset cause he already said he’s super down to join!
There will be a time jump in season 5 and Jared will be playing a full grown Ryan 😂
You really think they'd bring on Jared just to not have a scene with Jensen and JDM? On top of it being the Final Season too?
@@DatBoiChris420 think the director confirm he comin
Jessica, my take was that Sage’s plan was ALWAYS to have Calhoun take over. Either Singer was assassinated and Neuman takes the fall or Singer survives and goes out when Neuman is killed.
This was such a good season. I was crying multiple times throughout the entire episode. Not because it was so good but because I have to wait 10 years for season 5
😂😂😂Lol
I think the Butcher did more harm than good in this episode, he ruined the whole "peaceful" plan for them.
Peace was never an option
@@Curtis69213it totally was, and he screwed it up.
@mattloyselle9218 what kind of peace? Homelander was going to take over regardless.
@@channelZER01 With Homelander maybe not, but with Victoria Neuman?
Been waiting all day for this!!!
Oi! Me to
Same
Oi me four !!! i don’t got any friends to talk abt it with !
*Starlight mewing*@@mjanejunkrat
Just finished this episode and…. I’m speechless
Butcher looked healed. His eye color was a normal color. And Neuman and Malory dying were more as 1 for 1 deaths for each side. To keep it balanced.
It’s because he ‘relapsed’ on the drug
@@Jandujo no, his cancer is like a venom symbiote and healed him. He was rejecting it and now it seems to have almost taken the driver seat
@@TheRMF1 that's how I saw it too, he let his evil persona take over
@@TheRMF1 kinda sounds like a drug relapse minus the drug healing you
Even though Season 4 hasn’t been my favourite, that finale is the best in the whole series! Absolutely hyped for the final season
I still can’t believe Hughie got SA’d and Starlight was like “I can’t believe you would cheat on me 😠”
literally it pissed me off to no end
To be charitable, if I had just escaped after 10 days of being locked up by someone who occasionally returned and taunted me, I might not be in much of a position to recognize others' traumas. As they say: "Hurt people, hurt people."
@@jebedahow do u have some much charity to give? That’s a lot.
@@jebedaYou must be a saint because no normal human would be this much charitable.
One got held as a prisoner for a few days, while the other got mislead, SA'd, and thought he was marrying his gf, and then for no real reason got shat on by Starlight's bs accusations. Even though he had NO idea that starlight was replaced by shifter. It was traumatic for him too when he realised that he was living a lie for the past few days.
Also hughie got SA'd in the tek knight episode and Starlight and everybody did not even talk about it or treat it as a big deal.
Starlight really love to play the victim card.
@@jebedaThats a neat way of saying devils advocate
12:06 the plan was never to kill the president. That’s why sage left A train give clues to the boys and that’s why the shapeshifter had a camera on
Agreed, the plan was for speaker of house and chaos
Butcher's tumor tenticals were straight diabolical.
I loved everything about this finale except Ryan. He has no reason to be acting so evil, especially after learning the truth about Homelander. I know they want his character to be divided between butcher and homelander but cmon.
Fr I was like omg he just killed Grace!?!?!… and he doesn’t care what? He did not look like he gaf
@@ciarareynolds8561he took too much joy in the director being beat a couple episodes. He’s too much like his dad, showing his sociopathic tendencies.
They planted him being like this in previous episodes though
@@roronoauchiha69I know they did, I still feel like it’s just been too rushed. We know he was broken about killing his mom so it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense why he seems to enjoy killing people now
@@slackstarfish8133I don't think he enjoys killing people, but he does seem to have taken his father's advice about not worrying about things breaking
The fart over Gal Gadot 😭
And they try and claim they’re not biased 🤦♂️
@@GustEdgeOfficial where
??
I know a lot of people was mixed about this episode but me personally I enjoyed it my only complaint is I thought Victoria should’ve had a better death. Also the ending tease got me super hyped I can’t wait to see the returning soldier boy.
Yeah Neuman died for no reason. Butcher could’ve just taken the virus and been on with his day. He actually made it worse since it got the president locked up and put homelander in full power.
I kept screaming for Mallory to get out of the way, seriously, just let the boy go!
WTF?! Frenchie and Kimiko ending up together is beautiful!
Victoria busted Stan out of custody when he was being driven back to prison.
The animaniacs ref is why I love NR
the reason why I was a little surprised by the way Kimiko and Frenchie were portrayed this season, was because in my head they had been together this whole time. The kiss felt overdue
" fenchie and kimiko fealt like a step backward" no colin relathinship was the step backward
Soldier Boy can work as a sort of the virus antidote, since his radioactive blast can deactivate the compound v within the supes and become inmune to the virus
I think Malory is to Ryan like Barbara is the John/Homelander. I think Malory was trying to use the same play of John wanting to feel love on Ryan, it's just that Ryan knows what real love feels like because of his mom, and how Butcher treats him when they are around each other so he didnt fall for Malory's manufactured love
Possible theory, For season 5 Finale
Butcher kills all superheroes and sets up a season finale fight with Homelander, but on the other hand, soldier boy hates both Homelander and including butcher after he finds out that he locked him up in his sleep cage.
Setting up a three way fight in the end. butcher Vs Homelander Vs Soldier boy
The only person Homelander can't beat is Father Time.
Hughie literally got assaulted TWICE now and Annie has the nerve to be mad at him for being taken of advantage off??And they never even acknowledged how bad that tek night episode affected him just kinda moved on like nothing happened
No one cares for us men sadly we can get abused and used and no one will care not even other men 😔
Starlight was held captive by a shape-shifting sociopath for 10 days
Ashley teaming up with the boys (plus a-train if he comes back to help) would be so peak😭🙏🏽
Ryan literally entered the facility. How did he not notice it wasn't a normal hospital?
Same.
I had a theory that the Shifter was actually a suped-up class pet hamster or gerbil with doppelganger powers. Which is why they keep biting people and why their first transformation was into a preschool teacher
That’d be insane if true
frenchy and kimiko's romantic engagement was something in the works from season 1 through season 3. they had to throw a small obstacle to test their love during most of season 4, but it worked out. it isn't weird that they ended back up with each other, because they were both tested. them getting back together was way too obvious! it was just a matter of time.
Why was starlight mad at Hughie!! Made me so angry watching those scenes
Been waiting for this and comes just in time for dinner, perfect
at midnight ?
@@artobaron399time zones
Such a satisfying ending to a phenomenal season... I think we can all agree that season 5 is going to be some of the craziest, jaw-dropping television we have ever seen! 2026 is too far away!
2026?!!!
Choking out the shifter was the weakest kill ever
I mean to be fair enchanced durablity doesn't mean you cant die from something like that.
I was hoping for a neck snap at least
Been waiting for you guys to cook this up
I’d like to see Ashley get the enormous brain, eventually beating Sage as the smartest person on the planet.
The person that Homelander will never defeat is his own ego/hubris.
Modern day Sisyphus
I think Kimiko and Frenchie should’ve hugged around 15 seconds before the kiss occurred. A long 20 second hug scene would’ve been something cinematic. KISS on the forehead too.
I definitely disagree with your stance that we should’ve moved on from their relationship.
Kimiko crying no actually broke my heart it was so sad
Great video!! Even with “Kessler” in the drivers seat, there’s still enough “Butcher” in there, that he wouldn’t hurt Hughie.
I don't know how to feel about Neumans death
Left me like😦
Kimiko and Frenchie getting together was a win. This season would’ve fell flat if they didn’t give us that pay off. It didn’t feel rushed or out of place at all
Been waiting for this can't wait for s5 and gen z s2
The Kimiko and Frenchie thing has been hinted at so much, even in this season. It’s definitely a you thing
Erin Moriarty was so good in the dual roles this episode.
The cancellation of A-Train movie even after it was finished was actually a spoof on Batgirl movie getting cancelled.
35:00 The person Sage references that homelander can't defeat is himself.
I love the way Butcher angles his head when he says something sinister
Annie and Jean Grey must have some serious problems. Justice for Scott and Hughie. Also Hughie was SAed hard just have some mercy on him.
I 1000% believe Sage knew all this would happen always a step or several ahead like Yujin Heo from the Webtoon: It Was All You
Butcher is more like CARNAGE not Venom. They will go on a rampage next season
This season has a very The Empire Strikes Back vibe where almost everything seems hopeless and lost. Even moreso than last season. But we have A-Train unaccounted for, Ryan is MIA, Butcher as a wild card, Starlight on the run, and Ashley turning into god-knows-what. I assume Stan Edgar isn’t going to take his daughter’s death and granddaughter’s “incarceration” lightly, either.
when bobby said his catch phrase Idjit and balls i yelled out there my uncle bobby!
I love how Kripke made this shapeshifter the same way he made the first shapeshifter in Supernatural… able to have the memories of the people they are copying
Ashlee hiring a bunch of people also named Ashley knowing it would give the 7 confusion is clever
Sure that’s why
re: the passports according to the XRay feature on Amazon prime the Passports were Rock Star names "The name on all the prop passports that MM passes out are all names of famous rock stars. MM's alias is "John Bonham," Annie's is "Debbie Harry," Hughie's is "Robert Plant," Frenchie's is "Jimmy Page," and Kimiko's is "Joan Jett." another nod to Supernatural in this episode
poor huey getting the spiderman treatment
'LET'S HEAR IT FOR 'THE BOYS'(DENIECE WILLIAMS VOICE) ..
Perfect timing!
Also when Kessler says “I’m the one who gave you the juice.” Might be a supernatural reference as they use the term “juice” all the time to reference someone’s power
THANK YOUUU IVE BEEN WAITING 😭😭
I haven't seen this anywhere else but butchers tentacles are the same tentacles that came out of the dead bunny in the farm episode
The best review of this episode & I have seen several.
💯
I want to mention in a recent wired autocomplete interview at one point laz Alonso says “mm doesn’t get enough love in gen v” in which Jessie t usher responds with “yet” which may hint at the fact that they’re probably going to be locked up at the same place as the gen v kids and we could see them in season 2 of gen v
Now we wait for big names to cameo as deep cut heros from the comics!
OMGG THEM ALL BEING IN THE SAME VOUGHT PRISON IS SUCH A GOOD PREDICTION!!! id love to see Emma, Jordan, & Marie link up with the boys as cellmates
