Oh, firecracker is going to press charges? Cool. So should Starlight for revealing her medical records to the world without consent.

I liked the scene with Ryan and the director since Ryan's first act of intentional violence was performed for the sake of helping someone. It shows that at his core, he is still a good person , but his father's mindset is finally starting to erode his moral fiber

joe kessler is definitely a hallucination, right when he has neumans husband in the barn, the guy looks over to see who butchers talking to.

Stan Edgar, the man who stared down Homelander, was scared by a chicken has to be my favorite scene Ironic because in the alternate universe, he runs chicken restaurant franchise and a drug empire specializing in blue stuff that kinda gives users superpower

In season 5 homelander is definitely gonna take over america with a fuck load of supes and kill the president. Thats definitely what he ment when he gave that " when the time will come" speech

Sage definitely knows about A-Train but it makes sense not to out him,she clearly has her own agenda and is making anti-Homelander plans for sure... waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

My mother is bipolar, boarderline skizophrenic, her father had alzheimers, and in the end he didnt know me because I wasn't a small child anymore. This shit with Huey hit me in the feels. Neagan is Tyler Derdan.

Rip Hugh Campbell Sr. 😢

this episode kinda brings light that compound V can create parasites or make it even stronger. Obviously the scene where butcher finds the rabbit and a parasite comes out of it, makes me wonder if Compound V can give users parasites or even AMP up whatever existing parasites they have him in them like butchers cancer that mutated due to his exposure to compound V

Maaan coming from a black guy.. I’d love to see “Black at it”! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think they missed an opportunity for Sam to connect with Ryan and Homelander

That one scene with that parasite coming out of the rabbit was terrifying i hope we don’t see something like that coming out of Butcher.

i just finished the episode how the hell you got this up already

I think Joe Kessler is real actually, he was the one to saw off the leg, and the rest of stuff. I think only Becca is Butcher hallucinating but Joe is made to look to be the same until the end of this season when someone else speaks to him as well by name or he interacts with another person other than The Butcher. I don't buy the "He's a hallucination" scenario Also Sammeer just lost his leg and woke up inside a barn, he has the right to look as confused as ever, or maybe he recognized Joe Kessler and that's why he gave that look.

finally a episode without a evil maniac killing everyone rather it was about father and daughter (Stan&Victoria, mothers milk & his daughter)and father and son(Huighe and his dad) caring for each other.

Yea, Joe Kessler is 100% in butchers imagination

that tentacle part was simliar to the diabolical episode when the japanese cancer patient had v

This episode was straight wild, but glad the season is getting better and better by the minute. 👍🔥

Butcher with Symbiote(Parody) would be awesome tbh

Felt like they revived Hughies dad just to kill him for no reason whatsoever; kinda hard to feel bad after we watch him brutalize a hospital

In my opinion i just feel like the whole Hughie's storyline with his parents was just a waste of screen time that doesn't bring anything to the plot. Giving his dad V and then kill him off ? I really just don't care about Frenchie's storyline either. I liked the aftermath of Homelander's passage in the lab and his new approach with his son. And i hope we will know more about Sage motivations and her plans with A-train, which are the most interesting storylines so far.

You buggin out brodie, this episode was amazing lmao

I'm actually concerned that homelander and sage are only tricking A train. Kinda obvious but still. But I really want A train"s redemption to be complete.

The Boys is pretige level satire and will be emulated for years to come This episode was a great reminder of that. Lots of funny moments this episode

the MCU trolling in this episode 🤣🤣🤣 and the FOX trolling 'Vought Soul' 😂😂🤣

So I don’t get why they didn’t just use the sheep’s blood. If the virus is spread through bodily fluids, couldn’t they just use the bodily fluids of the dead sheep that got infected?

I just kinda thought the powers for hugie Sr. was a rife on the whole like father like son thing. Hugie could teleport while hopped up on V24 while his dad could go anywhere. Not the same powers but kinda similar. I only thought of that with the nature of the kills both did when super.

i knew Hughie's father waking up was going to turn sour quick cause every supes power discovery results in the death of a another person

Only thing annoying me this season is the fact they keep bumping into Neumann a need she’s letting them live every time. So wouldn’t happpen

Sage is a master manipulator . I doubt she will rat out A-train because he might be useful to her especially because she knows A- train is the mole..

I'm watching late. Just wanna thank you for your breakdown videos

Yeah this season started pretty slow, but it's nice to see all the plots they introduced this season are finally paying off.

this episode hurt spoliers below: i still believe joe is just fake because he finally has a scene with another person aside from butcher and yet the person didnt acknowledge or look at joe i commented this before i watched

Frenchie is so dead

I wonder how many of the people who kept rationalizing hugheys mom being a hallucination are here like wtf bahaha

Wait why was Tek Knight at the seven tower in the last scene with Cameron Coleman?

1. You're the goat, even earlier than heavy spoilers! 2. After the previous episode, i was very disappointed with this episode. I don't feel it moved the story forward very significantly. 3. Homelander is manipulating Ryan. He wants to bring Ryan down to his level.

I think in the end of this season sage is going to have firecracker power up starlight to temporarily burn homelanders eyes out and then at the beginning of season 5 homelanders eyes are magically back with no explanation. Sounds about right

I feel like that scene where that girl slaps the director dude, might be like a foreshadowing of something, possibly Ryan beating up homelander.

I agree with you there are a lot of plot premises that dont make much sense just in favor of the plot.

Been loving this season!

This show like HL can be really unpredictable. I could certainly see A-train or Ashley being killed by HL before seasons end. A-train could be running and along comes HL who picks up A-train and flies really high and then HL just drops him to his death for taking the V from HLs apt . I'm just guessing I don't know what will happen.

Great breakdown! Agree with most of it. GenV totally seemed like a forced cameo. Solid video. We need a Butcher unhinged episode.

I completely agree as far as the relationship between Homelander and Ryan. it just seems his character is very inconsistent. I understand he’s only like 12 years old and he still learning a lot about himself, but I kind of wish that they would pick an angle with him. I’m curious to know if Butcher is going to be some type of version of the venom character. With the whole good and bad side. I’m wondering if eventually he might need to be put down…

That kinda went right by me I thought she had problems with her power cause there was almost zero electricity where they were after that light bulb 💡 popped out. I don’t think there was any electricity in that barn. That what I thought atleast 🤷🏻‍♂️ dunno 😂 - and i absolutely love homelander and his boy now it was too fun to see it was too good to evil lol 😂 but a really cool look into the future of the “vcu “and I have to say human look screwed 😅😅😅

This is my favorite episode of the season so far

I’m soooo hyped to see what role of the parasite inside butcher is going to have. I wish it becomes like a knock off version of venom and covers his whole body head to toe, large mouth, gooey, big eyes etc, not just tentacles 👀 😊😂

I get you with the Ryan point - but I mean look at his father figures on both sides. Taking enjoyment from somebody who seems like they deserve it suffering is appreciated on both sides

This was the best episode of the season

Joe isn't there he's the thing in his brain

“HOMELANDER’S CALLIN’ ☎️! ARE YOU GONNA PICK UP?!” (*”PICK UP THE PHONE BABY 🗣️🗣️🗣️”*)

I feel like there running low on there budget cause i find it funny this is the second time they did a off screen kill i want the gore bring back the GORE!! I also have a theory that homelander is actually manipulating Ryan to start off with low punishments like having the woman slap the guy and start working his way up to murder without empathy and the whole talk about him not manipulating Ryan is BS to ease Ryan's ideas about homelander/his father not manipulating him so he thinks homelander knows what it's like to be tricked so why would he do it and kinda have him trapped in this idea.

And also personally I wanna see Homelander: Justice served, say what you want about Homelander as a person but you can’t deny he’s a damn good actor 1:19

The KFCs were the outstanding moments in this episode: Killer F'n Chickens.😂

About Sage, it feels like she's playing something herself. Since the day one the way she looks at everyone just feels like she got something going on behind the scenes. Maybe even had some kind of plan before she got into the seven.

tf i was tearing up when hughies dad died 😭😭

Crazy theory, but Ryan will be the one who gives Homelander the virus, mirroring the scene with Hughie and his dad.

I think Butcher took the temp v while in the bunker after letting the rabbit go. I feel like he will use the temp v…

I don’t think butcher has powers. It might just be the parasite doing the work for him

This episode, " in my opinion " was all over the place😢. Killer farm animals, Frenchie all confused, Homelander's manipulation of his son, Hughie's pops situation " which was sad"....i can go on and on.....

I loved the convo bewteen frenchie and Annie

That episode was awesome🔥

This episode was kinda meh. The v52 + Hughie hospital scenes were completly useless mostly.

Joe is definitely not real also remember when he was talking with Butcher about Ryan, he was questioning himself if he should kill him or not if things go bad

This episode was one of the best for me.

I think Sage is keeping her cards close to her chest

Homelander just having dealt with how he was raised could just be making a real attempt to be better raising Ryan but you know in the were better than everyone way

6:01 conscience, conscious is the adjective

Most definitely the best episode this season!

Theory time....they unleash the virus and defrost soldier boy to burn the V from Starlight and Kimiko or any other supe that doesn't want to throw up their organs.....makes sense.

Next episode we will finally get the black noir in action I think only makes sense I think that’s missing from. The the trailer

Neither Hughie nor his mom seem feel at all responsible for the people killed by dad. He's sad his dad died but nothing about the innocent people violently KILLED BECAUSE OF THEIR ACTIONS. Am I the only person who noticed this?

They didn't even shown how they killed Cameron Coleman, I was excited to see that and then they cut to another scenes, C'mon!!!

We have old school comic book Bucher in the house now and everybody should be very ,very scared because Bucher is going to take everybody off at the knees. It's going to be a bloody ending, just like the comic, and no one may make it out of season five alive

There has been a wide spread theory that Sam was the new Black Noir but he’s clearly Guardians of Godolkin, unless he’s playing double duty…who is under the costume. A Homelander clone like the comics?

I think Ryan is well aware that his father is insane. They made a point in previous seasons to highlight how smart he is. Homelander assumes that the manipulations that he was vulnerable to Ryan is also vulnerable to but Ryan had a mother and was taught right for a good portion of his childhood he knows if he doesn’t play along his father will lose his shit. It will be interesting to find out who Ashley gave V to I think she is secretly trying to create powered people to take out the seven. It’s clear her being demoted was liberating as she still welds a lot of power but nobody in the seven is really paying attention to her. I also maintain that the person in the noir costume is homelanders clone. It’s clear that he doesn’t have the same fear of homelander as the rest of the team does. He is almost trolling him because n the scenes we have seen them together in. Kripke says black noir would not be the clone as he was in the comics and that was true but black noir is dead and the guy in the suit could be anyone. It’s doubtful that homelander would personally select someone as they only needed someone to be in the suit to make appearances not actually function as a member of the group. Which is why he isn’t there at the end when homelander is giving his speech. Ryan won’t be the one to kill homelander he knows his mother would not want him to be a killer he is playing along for now because he has to but now that he has no rules I expect he’ll take advantage of that and go off maybe to visit Butcher or maybe to find his own way of stopping his father. Sage is going to be shown as insane as she seemed legitimately surprised that her plans didn’t quite work as intended and she hasn’t fooled everyone. Ultimately I think her goal is to make everything burn and kill everyone on the planet. It’s was established that she likes being isolated and just reading and learning but has never tried to contribute. She plans on the supes oppressing people until they finally rebel causing a massacre and then release the virus herself which she would have finished to be airborne.

JOE?! is the evil side of Butcher? Butcher is the evil side of Butcher...

A train into the multiverse probably better then flash

Sage definitely has her own goals Homelander is naive to think that someone like sister sage (the smartest person ever) would be completely willing to give him a hand without some sort of motivation Obviously Homelander can just kill her because of the strength difference and survival could be her motivation with helping him But sister sage has something he needs Which is guidance and help running things like Vought She knows if she played her cards right Homelander would not kill just her unless he’s inflicted with some crazy hysteria As for what she’s truly after well I can’t say Before this she was just living life giving herself lobotomies and reading books Now she is the shadow that controls vought Maybe her goal is entertainment Super heroes have always had guilty pleasures and stuff so maybe she gets her rocks off by helping Homelander some way Maybe she’s a good person and has a grand plan for systemic change to make sure people like Homelander are never made again (which would fit into the themes of the series) Hell maybe she plans on becoming a god legit cannot say

I loved this episode I think it was really good. Funny and well acted

I will be real this was easily the worst episode of the season by far. I feel like Sam and Cate didnt even need to be in this episode. I really thought Sam and Homelander would have a moment together. Also why cant Neuman kill the sheep herself, like she can control blood, so she can kill at least one or two by herself. Hughie and his family was easily the strongest part of this episode imo, I also like how they are setting up the eventual Homelander taking control by force situation with all the supes. I dont really know where they are going with Sage and A-train, like Sage has to know already that its A-train, maybe she is gonna hold him "hostage" with the information so he doesnt fully betray Homelander.

I was a bit disappointed with this episode it was ok but I had higher expectations, farm part was ok but it could be more and Hughie and the dad part was ok but expected zombies and (dont stop me now) scenes

She might use atrain to save her if homelander tries to kill her I think he gonna die saving someone this season

I thought Annie couldn't use her powers because she wasn't close enough to a strong source of electricity. She had her strength during the sheep scenes, but her light/electrical powers would have been more helpful against them. Regarding Ryan and other story arcs, all I have to say is the writing is really... really... reeeaalllyyy bad. But the characters are fun and relatable which more than makes up for it... for now.

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH HES BACCCk

How much compound V does one need to upload this quick.

Butcher's friend is so obviously not real.

this ryan fella is bipolar

Such an amazing episode, all the parodying to marvel lol

But Cate can hear anyone's thoughts, she couldn't find out who's the mole?

that joe could be the brother of butcher talked to ryan?

Shaun of the dead is now dead 😑

Really find the Hughie subplot really boring... and same with frenchie

Last 2 episodes blanked

Worst episode of S4 so far, tough since it seems like the first by a new(?) writer on the team. Loved Sage (watching), Deep (confident abuser) and A-Train (keep "cool"). Considering Sage keeps using a rockslide metaphor, if FC can beat her it won't be about smarts. Episode 4 was very much focused on forgiveness, 5 didn't feel tight like that. Relationship with violence? As for Ryan, he spoke Spanish and made lego movies. It's stuff that HL doesn't recognize that I like about their dynamic, as well as HL being a dad. I'm let down by most writing choices for Ryan and was hoping he'd make a less sadistic choice, a wholly Becca(?) choice leading to HL's unconditional support and irritated confusion.

Your voice sounds different, care to share?

They really shat all over Disney and Comic-Con with this… even tho I’m a marvel stan that was a highlight for me lol… also I HATTTTE HUGHIES whole arc this season it’s sooooo tired. How much longer will we have to watch hughie be such a wuss

In my opinion everyone else is great but Hughies arch is so rushed and lack luster

Episode 5?!
