The Boys Season 3 ended on a mind blowing cliffhanger, Homelander lazers a guy in front of a crowd of people. And this time it wasn’t all in his head, it happened for real.
But in a shocking twist, the fans begin to cheer him – ignoring the fact that Homelander just murder a man right in front of their eyes.
There’s so much to upack about the ending scene, like why is Ryan smiling at the end? But there’s also so much to say about this final episode. What’s Victoria Neuman up to, what’s happened to Soldier Boy. And how is the world going to react to what Homelander just did. And we got to talk about how the ending of season 3 sets up the story for season 4, and probably the rest of the show.
At the start of the season, Homelander told the Deep that [clip]. But This is the actual first time the public saw who Homelander really is – A murdering psychopath. And they love him for that.
Homelander and Vought are masters of manipulation, rebranding lies as the truth.
Just another product that is sold by their own media companies to the public, who are nothing more than consumers.
The truth is just disingenuous posturing, rebranded, repackaged and sold as validation to a target audience. Pandering to extreme ideology and opinions.
That’s the product the people want, they don’t want to hear anything that challenges their beliefs. Nope, they want to hear their opinions echoed by people with authority.
That’s why Homelander is so appealing to certain groups in America.
Ironically, this idea is represented visually – the dead guy wears a “Belive Stormlight” shirt. Homelander kills him in front of a group of fanatic fans. Killing the truth in broad-daylight.
Just like all the lies, the people swallow the murder, adjusting it into their own wrapped word-view.
Todd – MM’s ex-wife’s husband, who’s soon to be MM’s ex-wife’s ex-husband – breaks the silence by cheering Homelander.
And then on cue, the others join Todd. Almost like they just needed validation from one person to cheer, that it’s ok to celebrate murder because that guy did it first. The crowd is a validation slut, just like Homelander.
They don’t cheer Homlander out of fear, they do it because they want to believe in him. In their minds, he stood up for himself and them.
That guy is a Starlight supporter, and he is the enemy.
In his interviews with Cameron Coleman, Homelander created the narrative of us vs them. Putting himself on the same team as the people, while creating those shadowy figures called the “they”.
The “they” are an abstract, they can be anyone who’s against the “us”. They are the “lame-stram media”, the rich and powerful, politicians, and anyone else. Anyone who Homelander choses as an enemy.
History is filled with people who used the “us vs them” propaganda.
This is how fanatic leaders weaponizing words, creating propaganda, to convice their followrs to execute genocides and holocusts.
How civilians decide to ignore the horrific crimes of their leaders, lying to themselves that it’s necessary for their protection and freedom.
So the Homelander’s fanatical fans cheer him for killing the enemy.
And this gives Homelander the toxic validation he so desperately craves.
This outburst is the first time people see the real Homelander.
Not the pendering lie, not the god-chosen idol Vaguht created.
No this is the Homelander that only a few has ever seen.
For so long he was afraid of how people would react to his true self, and to his complete disbelief, the people cheer him, they still love him, even when they see the murdering deranged monster he truly is.

What did you think of the ending?
They'll need Soldier Boy to hit Homelander with the power-damp beam before Butcher can actually defeat him.
There will not be nearly enough time to do enough experiments on SB to create a duplicate of his ability. In the story timeline, less than six months before total ware between supes… and you *KNOW* we can't portray the Russian supes as being any less homicidal than Homelander (though making them worse would be a mighty stretch since, to be so, they would need to pretty much annihilate an entire global power such as China or India).
Bs… I think it’s a great way to interpret an eye for an eye. A lot of liberals nowadays think it’s ok to attack using violence and suffer no repercussion. That moron attacked the little boy and Homelander simply returned the favor. See, it’s only fun and games when the rioting and looting and censorship is on the liberal side. But it’s always the worst when the other side does it. Literally how children think. I’m not saying Homelander’s reaction was ok. A bit overboard… but violence begets violence.
Not a big fan of the "fake outs" the show did this season. A-Train should have died, Maeve should have sacrificed herself, and Kimiko should have stayed depowered. It is cheap for the show to just do something major only to take it back and say "oh nevermind" that was just for the suspense of the moment. It makes the story less enjoyable for the fans.
Either not have the characters appear to die in the first place, or if they "die" they should stay dead.
I think the show will end in a billy homlander last stand but also setting up Starlight and hughie by having them learn their parents mistakes to become the adoptive mother and father for ryan
Looks like the situation in America now…..ehhh with Trump…..say wat
Sounds like the U.S political system today.
so the they i bad but sertain pepoole is ok
i hpe the go for the civil war route
Homelander did nothing wrong.
Season 4 "speculation" shouldn't include direct spoilers from the books.
Now I know that a bunch of supes are going to attack the WH. Thanks for that, can't wait to be not surprised.
The boys gave me a BIG…. Wait, scratch that. MASSIVE BOOOOOOOONNNNERRRR.
Murdering deranged monster killing all subjective bad guys original patriotic concept! If everything else hadn't worked, why the hell or not go with it! Monsters get things done! Yeah!
Maeve ended up with one less eye. But Homelander survived having a metal rod inserted into his brain.
14:16 she cant, she tried with Butcher, but he was on temp V and just fell to the ground
After watching season 2 again there’s one supe that escapes forest grove and she’s like the most dangerous, forgot her name but maybe they will reintroduce her cause they made the point to shoot the scene where she hitches a ride and disappears
Antony Starr is an incredible actor. Give him an Emmy.
I know the politician villain. I was SHOOK when she had powers and her backstory. Great addition to the show.
What about the other head popping girl?
Thus was not a murder it was an execution. There's a difference between the two.
I'm thinking about Edgar and Grace team up
1:51 *Starlight
More garbage leftist Hollywood politicking.
“Criticise the media-political establishment and you are a Nazi…”
Talk about a show thats all woke and embodies all thats wrong with the world…this piece of Amazon trash is it. Try leaving an accurate review on amazon, they delete it. Can you believe to leave a review they say " your review will be processed and may take a few days" then it just disapeears by the corporate censorship knotsees.
I really really want to see Edgar come back. He was an absolute badass
That last scene reminded me when Trump said: "I could shoot somebody and not lose any voters."
That last scene when Homelander lasered that guy reminded me when Trump said: "I could shoot somebody and not lose any voters."
Love your small edits "that is americas ass" etc. Subscribed 😁
Butcher fumbled the bag with Soldier Boy. Could’ve easily killed 2 birds with one stone
They should release a identical copy of The Boys, but everyone’s voice is dubbed over with Billy Butcher’s. Call it The Lads.
I hope the parallel between Homlander and Trump is not lost on Republican voters…….
Personally, I don’t want them to just kill off Homelander. I’d love to see him de-powered. He’s spent his entire life as a god, it’d be wild to see how he reacts to being a normal human.
as long as the Deep has less screentime, I think we should be good , the guy doesn't even do anything, just fucks an octopus 😂
I think Ryan is the one who thinks that it's okay to kill people who disagree and homelander does not stop him
How Antony Starr hasn't won an award for Homie yet is ridiculous.
Maeve Survival Theory: When Maeve "got it on" with Butcher, she got pregnant, although she doesn't know it yet. The writers must have written that scene for a reason! It could turn out that her fetus is a Supe that has healing powers. So when Maeve got hit with Soldier Boy's blast, it eliminated Maeve's powers and she would have died in that 80-story fall. But her body mostly tanked the blast, and protected her fetus, so when Maeve hit the ground her powers were gone BUT the fetus (mostly) insta-healed her from serious injury.
Given that Supe powers can manifest even in infants, and given that Butcher is now dying a slow death, this baby could also be the solution to saving Butcher's life in season 4.
Saving Private Ryan
Honestly I think Black noir should’ve at least had a fight scene with Homelander so he could go out in an epic way
I don’t think season 4 is gonna be the end of things, My guess is there will be 5 or 6 seasons
1:52 Believe Starlight shirt, not Believe Stormfront. That would have a completely different connotation.
Ending explained? Homelander lasered a meatbag.
This guy explains it so well I wonder if he realises liberals do this in real life?

My theory with Noir is that he's basically Kenny from South Park. He died after he ate an almond joy I thought…. Also, Soldier boy knocks his brain out of his head. I think they'll just bring him back next season without explaining anything. Pretty much what they did with him this season after the Almond Joy.
Well first thing first: The dead guy wear's a "Believe Starlight" shirt.
Second: Your comments are total crap.
Third: The comments in the lines under are written by a bunch of
narcissistic soyboys.
" . .in my opinion . ." " . .they should . ." " . .I would like . ." " . . My theory . ."
Stay the fuck out of this field. You trying snowflakes fucking bunch of poess¨s can not even suck mummys tits clean. Who ask for your opinions?
Butcher was stupid af at the end he let Hollander live like tf fuck Ryan to he’s also a supe just like homlander to much power no matter for who
