minutemancl Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 20 hours ago, THE DUKE said: Very up and down first 3 episodes. Not sure how they don't realize they have just about everything they need. They have Sister Sage meeting with the three guys directly before they were murdered, video and photos of A-Train, Noir, and Deep going in and Homelander coming out directly after the timeframe the guys were murdered. About the only really gripping things are Butcher trying to connect with Ryan, Starlight having at least some dirt to make her interesting, and I agree that the new talking Noir has probably been the funniest thing this season. This is what is keeping me hooked. Spoiler Butcher tossing those cookies is maybe the biggest piece of character development we've gotten out of him, and it was really nice to see as a viewer. It's the last thing I expected. I think, maybe, it is setting up for Butcher to have to actually be vulnerable and embrace a dad role to Ryan to ultimately "win" at the end.

Fresh Prince Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 This season is making me root for Homelander. Won’t happen, but would love for hughie to get killed, worst character in the show IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltman Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Has felt like most shows after a big contract reup or like the first season fully developed while a shows already landed. First 3 seasons they kinda had the gist for going in, this one you can kinda feel them trying to hold onto that magic a bit too hard. Just the feeling of those first 3 eps, felt like a lot of let’s spin the wheels on every character to give them something little to do on their own. Hopefully it’s just a start of the season thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM being in charge just doesn't seem to work, but then again, I think it's supposed to feel that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Episode 4 was definitely better than the first 3, but I think the show is starting to have the same problems the comic had. It's absurd, grotesque, and obscene for the purposes of being absurd, grotesque, and obscene. The only characters actually growing as characters are Butcher and Ryan, and that's why they are easily the most interesting characters this season. Starlight's arc and character were helped a bit by this episode as well. Antony Starr is obviously amazing as Homelander, and he's still killing it, but it has been the same character now for 4 seasons and it is getting a little old. Yeah, we know he is sadistic and psychotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make it a bit surprising why anyone familiar with his upbringing doesn't fully understand why he is this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I have a hard time seeing them keep the momentum for another season. Yes there are new characters. The problem is they don’t really add much to the show. And their extreme moments just feel like “been there done that”. Black Noir, Sister Sage & Firecracker just aren’t adding much juice to the show yet. And we’re definitely getting fatigue on how many different trials we can put on the gang members. I’m having a hard time getting into Frenchie & Kimiko’s arcs Homelander, Butcher / Ryan & Starlight arcs are decent. The rest just aren’t nearly as interesting. Maybe Kessler will add some juice to the Boys but it definitely feels like they’re more into shock value gore than doing something fresh and interesting. There’s still time but I wonder how they make the next 12 eps catch & keep my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 The Frenchie storyline feels like it's not going anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) E4 was excellent. Liking this season so far. Firecracker makes me laugh but not really sure how she's a supe. I know they displayed her "powers" earlier but I feel there's got to be more to them. Edited June 24 by BobbyPhil1781 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it’s just a start of the season thing I agree feels like the show is wasting time on boring subplots like Frenchie and his love interest. I’ve been skipping some of their scenes together sorry it’s boring lol. I wish they would use the time building more of the Boys universe and we get to see more interesting supes. Splinter despite how mentally unstable he was had cool powers. More impressive than most of the seven tbh. Hopefully the show picks up momentum for the series finale.

Originally they had Translucent, Mavae, Homelander and A-Train they all had impressive powers. Even the original Black Noir was more impressive. Now it’s really just Homelander and A-train. Everyone else are lackluster lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Lamp Lighter seemed like he was pretty dope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homelander doesn't want the slightest threat of anyone half as powerful as him. His ego can't handle not being seen as the best and most perfect guy who ever existed and he thinks he's strong enough to handle anything or anyone on his own the rest of The Seven are just decorative ornaments in his mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
