      You know that, The Boys Season 5 will be released in 2026, because Gen V Season 2 will be released in 2025. That is, first, for Marie and her friends to escape from prison (probably), then they will meet Hughie, Frenchie, Butcher and the team in The Boys (including A-Train and Maeve), and in The Boys Season 5 they will take against Vought.

    Initially I was thinking "This finale isn't very eventful". But that last 10 minutes was INSANE.
    Also I'm so glad they didn't do the "Which one do I shoot?" trope with Annie and the shifter.
    Also also, I think Starlight is now able to use natural photons for her powers. When she showed Hughie in the car, right before the boat fell, you would think if she was using the electricity of the car, it would have sputtered a bit.
    And then the intensity of how she flies away seems way stronger than if she was harnessing the electricity of just the nearby vehicles.

      Umm did you forget that she was literally being mentally tortured for days by the shapeshifter? It’s not shocking for her to be pissed and feeling betrayed when Hughie slept with shapeshifter Annie 20 times and he still couldn’t fully figure it out, or rather he didn’t want to. It’s stated he DID have suspicions but he ignored them because he was getting laid and everything was “perfect”. So yeah I think it’s justified for her to be pissed. It would have been stupid and bad writing if she was just all sunshine and rainbows after escaping, that would just make no sense. Besides, she moved on after she cooled down, but it’s understandable she was upset at first. This is Starlights best season by far in my opinion…

      It's debatable. Ryan definitely meant to shove Mallory out of the way to get out, and his reaction afterwards shows that he didn't much care what happened to her. But on the other hand as we saw with the 'bank robbery' setup a few episodes ago, even a fraction of his true strength is enough to send a full-grown man over a hundred metres and burst his head like a pinata on impact. If Ryan was really trying to kill Mallory there'd be nothing but jam on that wall.

    I just need to applaud you and your team for that breakdown of Black Lives Matter. When people aren't being intentionally ignorant, I think they understand that it's never been about some kind of superiority complex. That's insane. I've been Black my whole life and the one thing I've never been treated as in this country is "superior". It was always a plea to remember that our lives are just as valuable. So when shootings happen in our neighborhood, it shouldn't be treated any differently than when it happens in yours. When a little girl goes missing in our community, it should have that same Nancy Grace energy when one goes missing in yours. But that's not the case. And police brutality is just the most obvious example of it: if a Black person dies in police custody, most people are willing to accept that it probably was justified and not ask questions. Which leads to abuse. When cops know they COULD get away with killing or abusing a certain type of person, eventually that awareness becomes a tool for some officers. While the vast majority of cops are superheroes, there are inevitably a few assholes who know they CAN get away with it and abuse the system to do so. If our lives mattered just as much as white lives, heads would roll when injustice occurs. But instead, people accept it. It's the same way sex workers are treated re: homicide cases, thus why so many serial killers target sex workers. It's not that hard to understand, unless you just don't want to. But nothing is more insulting than arguing for civil rights and being told that that very argument is actually pretty uppity of us to make. Thanks for being real for a sec there.

    The Starlight-Huey conflict doesn’t get a ton of screen time, but it does seem that she comes to her senses after the initial shock has worn off. Her line about him needing to get tested is also played as a bit of a comedy beat, with Huey realizing it meant she didn’t want to catch anything from him and he got excited. The race to the finale meant some stuff ended up getting less attention, so the fallout of the shapeshifter thing fell flat. Likely they didn’t want to go over the same ground they did post TekKnight, and even then, Huey’s main trauma was over his dad. The other stuff just broke through his false front hiding his grief.

He literally cried for accidentally killing that stunt man then bullies that creep director (rightfully so) and seems to really enjoy that, he then stands up against the bullshit message that vought made him advertise on live TV and now he kills Mallory and doesn't seem to feel any remorse or rethink his actions and just walks away? Like I understand that he felt the pressure and that he's just a kid and Mallory shouldn't have threaten him to lock up but even so doesn't he realise that Homelander is not a good person? He literally tells Ryan that humans are just toys and kills people in broad daylight. And speaking of Mallory, her character felt very off this episode, she's not the type to lose her cool and act desperate especially when she knows that Ryan is very volatile.

      He will definitely come back, I think Ryan pissed off Homelander too much to the point he no longer cares for Ryan, and Ryan will have to either fight for himself, or speak Butcher out of it, Like I think Butcher is now too cruel because of seeing Ryan kill Mallory, to the point where not even someone like Lenny means anything to him, while Homelander sees Ryan as a validation token so Ryan will have to take a choise, to either take the side of Homelander and possibly Soldier Boy, or try and speak Butcher out of Genocide with The Boys,
      Starlight may also bring in Supes like The Gen V supes, Ashley, A-Train, The Boys, and probably Ryan, and there’s some theories that OG Black Noir actually healed back and is just trying to get back at Homelander, and if that’s true, then I think Starlight will try to get in Black Noir, or Starlight will get Stan Edgar which might have to do something with Noir, but unless Noir is still alive somehow, maybe just maybe, but then again, Stan Edgar trusted Noir enough to let Noir be his Right Hand Man so maybe there’s something special about OG Noir that hasn’t been shown, other than the fact he was THE LOYAL VOUGHT WORKER

    Just to mention it ends with a Nirvana song which is joked about at the V52 expo. The song is Heart Shaped Box which contains the line "I wish I could eat your cancer when it turns black" which is likely a reference to Butcher

    annie is quite justified for being angry at huey. imagine being held for 10 days while being impersonated and all the while you partner lives and sleeps with the imposter to the point of being engaged??? anyone would be pissed, what matters is that he was sorry and she forgave him. they were both victims.

    16:00 I read Annie's treatment of Hughie to be coming from a place of PTSD and frustration. She's been chained up in a basement for ten days while her boyfriend has been having a great time oblivious to the fact that she's been missing; nobody is going to be in the calm state of mind needed to be polite in that situation.
    BUT, minutes later she passively let's him know that the relationship is not over when she orders that he is getting tested for every std because she doesn't want to catch syphilis, and Hughie picks up on this implication of future sex and celebrates.
    So calm down and let the characters have their natural reactions.

    I didn’t see if anyone else mentioned this yet, but one of the Easter eggs you missed was when the President (Robert Singer) was practicing his golf putting and said “balls” a couple times. This is a reference to his character Bobby in Supernatural who said that often!

    Re: Starlight;
    She was upset that nobody noticed she'd been replaced, and that the shapeshifter being dtf non stop apparently made Hughie want to propose. She felt rejected.
    That's why Hughie telling her all the little things that made him realise something was wrong calmed her down.
    And once she had time to process she made the comment about him getting tested, like "I'm not happy with what happened but I'll get over it"
