Idk if others will complain about this season finale but I liked it. Butcher has gone completely insane after witnessing what Ryan did, supes taking control of the country and The Boys getting disbanded. We finally got Kimichie and they couldn't even wait for a single episode to break them apart. MM and the love sausage reunion was hilarious. I'm more curious to see what Ashley's power is going to be now and whether the boys will team up again.
At least, my boy A-Train didn't get killed now and I hope he stays tf away from this hot mess and Sage prevents HL from going after him.
Best episode of the series. Last season finale was probably the worst.
Agreed
The boys will defo get back together again. It was needed to disband. Like the enemy you’re fighting is now basically the fucking government. It was really sad to see though.
Oh, I definitely think we have not seen the last of Ashley or a train.

MM just can’t get a break from giant penises
What the fuck happened to Ashley Barrett?!
She got the power to skip to the next season
Seeing as we didn't get a reaction from homelander, she got powers and escaped and is setup for next season (calling it now she will kill deep in s5)
I wonder if Kimiko is gonna say more next season
Omg they just killed Victoria like she was nothing
Pretty insane misdirection IMO. Everybody in this sub, myself included, getting geared up for A-Train’s demise only to have the seemingly invincible Neuman ripped in half by Butcher.
Really bummed to see her go. I liked her, despite her homicidal tendencies.
Seeing her violent death and corpse on the ground was genuinely upsetting.
Grace: "Your dad's a genocidal rapist and we need you to kill him"
Butcher: "Who the FUCK starts a conversation like that? We're playing connect 4! He JUST sat down!"
oh man I felt that NO
Oh yeah. My poor heart couldn’t take it
Ryan is going through it with all the revelations and then killing Mallory but I’m not sure how he’s going to forgive Homelander. It’s still setup for them to showdown and for him to take him down. I’m not sure how the Boys win otherwise
Between Ryan, Soldier Boy, the virus, and Sister Sage having a last minute out of left field solution for Homelander, there are still options on the table
Can't get over how much better Butcher looked physically once the super-tumor started cooperating. On some Venom shit.
MF looked like he finally took a shower after 4 seasons lol

I'm glad that they finally gave her the strength to use her powers again. I'm sure it will come in use to start the last season and break everyone out of where they are being held.
So a supe genocide it is then?
What the fuck
"Bro."
("Murder boner.")
Sending Zoe to Red River is fucked
I think Edgar is going to take her out of Red River.
Butchers brain worm did not disappoint.
You noice butcher looks a lot more healthier too
"You're a writer you don't get paid shit"
best line of the episode lmao
And the quick tax write-off joke thrown in there as well
Cilantro😗😗
Grace really regressed in this episode. She fucked it all up when she dumped everything at once onto Ryan. Who was already in an agitiated state. Even Butcher knew better than to do that.
Even mentioned the virus, I was like Grace what are you doing?
