The Boys (Amazon Prime Video)

I'm assuming people clicking this know there are spoilers, but just in case, spoilers for the finale.
I have to say I was disappointed with Starlight's charge up power because it built up like she was going to toast Soldier Boy and it came off like a sneeze. C'mon! That should have been some Ironman firing a blast directly out of his arc reactor stuff! I also like the look between Butcher and Homelander when Butcher defends Ryan and attacks Soldier Boy. It was pretty funny.
 
Thought the finale would have much more action. After all that building up of how powerful Soldier Boy was, really had me looking forward to a much more epic battle. Didn’t come close to what was expected.

The Boys are back!
Making Frenchie gay and letting go of the chemistry him and Kamiko had was a mistake I think. Did this happen in the comics?

Damn seriously?
TV show has veered from the comics pretty significantly and is now pretty much its own thing. I still think its truthful to the spirit of the source material (a human watchdog over superheroes) but plotwise its a different beast with some major story changes.

Im guessing Frenchie is more bi than just gay. He had a girlfriend in seaosn 1 and apparently slept with the wife of one of the mafia bosses and was hunted as a result so him being fully gay would be a retcon. Im actually fine with Frenchie and Kimiko not being together since that pairing honestly felt a little odd to me (they seemed more like parent and child or brother and sister until season 3)
 
Watched episodes 1-3 of season 4, so far so good. I heard season 5 will be the last, maybe that is why they moved away from the comics?

Its been a while. A reminder would be nice.

Episode 1 wasnt great with too much political commentary but episode 2 is much better.
Why is Neuman invincible in episode 1. Shrugged off strong acid and a bullet to the head at point blank. I know she can control her blood from Gen V but why? Im glad A-Train is finally likely to be a good guy. Even though he was the instigator for the show and the first villain, he was showing signs of actual redemption from season 3 and I was actually expecting a heel-face turn at the end of it.

Maybe end of season 4 if he doesnt get killed as a result. Im also not a fan of the Annie retcon in 3 to be a pageant mean girl when we know she hated the circuit and is the "hope" of good supes. Episode 3 was kind of a mess but A-Train might be my favorite character this season. Also a guess but Im guessing Sister Sage sometimes stabs her brain or something to make her "stupid" to take a break (hence why she was watching reality tv). That or Chase Crawford is naturally good at getting smart girls to fall for him.

There was a whole flashback scene with Frenchie in a 3 way relationship with Cherie and Jay. Cherie makes mention that Frenchie is a little bit gay.
 
I suppose at some point I will get around to watching this. By the time the last season came out I was getting kind of tired of it. I mean, every person on the show is a deplorable piece of crap. It's kind of like Shameless with super powers.
 
Still a fun show but it's getting a little desensitized. People die and it's not really a shock anymore. Now there are 10 different storylines to keep track of and it just seems messy and less shocking. I hope they wrap some things up and put them away.
