Transcripts

ladies gentlemen fellow boys out there

welcome we're here at the finale of

season 4 and that was pretty damn

diabolical if I do say so myself man

there's some things that I thought might

happen there's some things I actually

thought could happen but didn't happen

so honestly we just need to Dive Right

into this go ahead and leave me your

thoughts on the finale down in the

comments below any theories you have

going into next season and everything

like that and of course like this video

if you do go on to enoy and if you've

enjoyed the coverage of the boys this

season and uh yeah can't wait to get

into next season even though that's

quite a while away so right at the

beginning I I I really did enjoy I guess

you could say uh the intro there's a

little bit of a news report in how

they're cancelling the at Train movie

and I think you know I'm I'm pretty sure

this is the case that it's a bit of a

piss take as the boys does but this time

maybe kind of aimed at War on the

brothers because since they've canceled

the A Train movie we have Ashley comment

as the CEO and despite the movie being

completely finished she says that uh we

we just realized we'd make more money

from the right off now a train uh I have

to talk about that for a second because

he wasn't in this episode at all now

some of you may say that was obvious but

not necessarily I did have a prediction

in how he might die this season but he

wasn't even in this final episode which

did still surprise me because I know he

got out but I thought we' cut to a scene

with him at some point so I am wondering

if he's coming back for the fth and

final season but then I do think to

myself would he really do that if he's

got out and he's out there in safety so

to speak but I suppose it could bring

back that whole situation of where he

was talking to mm last episode in the

penultimate episode saying do you really

think that homelander wouldn't be going

here or that it wouldn't go Global so I

I think with if a train takes his own

advice there with how he motivated mm to

not run away last episode and just you

know let the super domination commence

then surely at train will know that his

family or nobody will ever be safe

including his family if he just stays in

the wind so let me know if you agree

with me and you think at train could

come back next season now as for the

boys and everything going on we have

Frenchie still cooking up the virus but

everyone is feeling the pressure because

obviously they have the assassin on the

loose and they don't know that it's

actually Annie and this is where

speaking of the Assassin we cut to the

shape shifter star light and things just

get pretty damn awkward here I know

everyone's feeling sorry for huie this

season but it gets kind of worse with

her proposing to him and then he planned

to do that anyway they spend some time

together in bed once again uh with a bit

of chatter about uh uh not one finger

but two in the activities that they're

doing if you will and this is when her

skin starts to come off so she needs a

little bit of a top up so she goes to

see Annie she does that she also takes

the piss out of Annie and is it even a

she because I mean the the shape shifter

does comment that they barely remember

what they looked like because they've

been doing this for so long but I did

enjoy how this gave Ain morati a chance

to kind of act you know in a different

kind of performance to that of her usual

Starlight performance so I imagine that

was quite fun for her to do as she was

really digging into Starlight and her

insecurities but we then visit Homeland

during the episode and he's looking at

his little jar of Grays um yeah

absolutely wonderful there but he also

goes into Ryan's bag he sees the picture

of Butcher and Becca he gets very angry

In This Moment moment because obviously

this is a whole other insecurity with

homelander if there's one shed of

humanity he has and one kind of weakness

that messes him up on top of I guess you

know dying or like getting older and

turning gray it's Ryan and I did say it

in my last review right at the end that

what if homelander kills Ryan and in

this moment I have to admit I was the

again old down with how pissed off

homelander was when he was like come

here get here now and then Ryan walks

away I was like oh my God are we going

to kind of get to that point or

somewhere near that but I also did say I

wouldn't be surprised if and only if

Ryan dies through homeland's hands that

could happen in season five and

obviously Ryan didn't die this episode

and if anything he could be going more

to his father's side but that could

still be a thing that happens because

again we know butcher is committing

himself to the very thing that he was

refraining from doing but Ryan albeit

you know he he kind of walks off and it

seems like he's going more towards his

father's Direction I do still think

there's going to be a bit of flipping

next season and again to stress this

point Ryan isn't so much of a thing in

the comics if you know about that um so

I really do feel like he's completely on

the board in terms of being taken out

next season but to add on to that theory

one more time with the obvious thing

that Kesler wants of course I need to

put on the table that it could be

butcher uh to be the one to actually

kill Ryan and that would obviously be

very tragic and this is where we get the

the first very big thing that happens in

the episode and that's when we have

homelander and Victoria Newman go on

firecracker truth bomb show and

homelander reveals that Newman is a soup

much against her will we can't forget

how homelander has gone off of Sage's

plan even though the thing is Sage

basically reveals later that she saw all

of this coming and this is a part of her

plan so homelander not following the

plan is kind of the plan here because we

can't forget that her main goal really

is to cause an avalanche was the first

Pebble of the Avalanche that we saw

throughout the early episodes of this

season but more or less even with her

out the picture and homelander thinking

okay we're not going with her plan that

the chaos has still been successful and

obviously Newman isn't on board of this

this isn't exactly what she thought was

going to happen she's been keeping that

a very big secret but homelander reveals

to her that she's going to do everything

according to his desires when she is

President and she will be a puppet so as

I said last episode I felt like this was

a very obvious thing that was coming

that I I said I wouldn't be surprised if

Newman actually does or if huy did get

through to Newman last episode so I

guess like he didn't but it kind of left

the door a jar and homelander opened the

door the whole way for her to kind of

flip and go along with the boys this

episode and just ultimately want out she

wants out of the race out of singer um

and his men and just I guess to run away

with Samir and Zoe this is where

honestly speaking of Sage's plan the

Avalanche is absolutely raining down

Hellfire because all hell breaks loose

here despite Newman being outed as a

soup we have the singer Newman elections

still being certified there's protests

erupting all over the country New World

new rules homelander is getting to the

point of what he was planning to do with

tech Knights prisons you know the camps

and stuff so this will involve arresting

a lot of people who will be against his

plan and you know not really arresting

them as Newman said but killing them so

he gets a list of all of those who have

dirt on them in VA informs Noir in the

deep that okay we're going to take out

Robert Singer and also you know we're

going to put every VA hero to surround

the capital White House and Pentagon and

basically you know you're going to have

to go and kill these people of which

obviously the Deep doesn't really have

an issue with and Noir certainly doesn't

have a issue with given how happy he was

after killing the other Ashley who

wasn't even on the list throughout this

episode we also had firecracker coughing

a lot it was in this moment in that

meeting where she revealed that she's

having heart palpitations and fever

because of the medication that she's

taking we have homelander tell her to

move down the table and you just have

that terrible awkward look on her face

basically further reinforcing how she

only has one news to him and given that

she just gets more sick throughout this

episode but then is I guess kind of okay

by the end of it that the main point I'm

getting to is that she doesn't die off

this episode so she's going into season

five and it's making me wonder that even

though I don't have a lot of faith in

her flipping round to the other side and

going against homelander I am wondering

that you know is she going to go out

like loving homelander still so she's

probably and I think obviously going to

die next season but will it kind of be a

thing where she's still like holding his

face saying I love you in a bit of a

Stormfront kind of way or will she

actually get sick and tired of how

belittling Homeland it is to her it

would be pretty crazy honestly if next

season butcher manages to discreetly put

the virus into her and then you have her

milk be absorbed by homelander and

that's how he gets the virus but anyway

this is when Ashley figures out that

she's on the list after overhearing it

and she starts running for her life

which is just you know you know she

hasn't got much of an option left so she

injects herself with compound v as a as

an attempt I guess to give herself a

chance at some kind of defense and she

falls down in agony and her wig falls

off her head was Rippling like her skull

bones were Rippling I guess in the way

that comp V does Ripple as we've seen

down people's backs before but she ends

up looking like Gollum and I was just

like damn so what I found interesting is

that we don't see what this is this

episode we don't see her for the rest of

the episode I feel like what they could

do with Ashley going in season 5 is that

she could be very useful with whatever

kind of power she might get from this

compound V knowing the boys they might

have actually have given her a

ridiculous yet hilarious crap power and

it's going to use her as a bit of a joke

next season or one that could be useful

and threatening to vot or both if you

know what I mean I'm sure it'll be

hilarious but how crazy would it be if

Ashley actually could do some harm next

season with her abilities now back with

the boys this is where things ramp up

for them very much so here because uh

they well huy goes to find the files on

Newman but there's no files thanks to

the shape shifter so now all they've got

is defense so they go directly to Robert

Singer and they inform the Secret

Service of the situ situation and In

This Moment it's when the shape shifter

says to huie that I'm warm it's like a

furnace in here and he remembers her or

The Shape Shifter saying that when she

was that woman in the shape shifter's

apartment but this is when obviously The

Shape Shifter puts it together because

they can't help but act very awkward and

yeah this this is where things get nuts

I mean when that secret service agent

gets pushed or thrown into that cabinet

his back just bends very much so some uh

Boy action here with the Assassin in

doing Assassin things and this is where

we have Starlight arri and I have to

admit in this moment I was like this

seems so contrived like how did she know

where they were I know I know she gave a

reason for it saying oh yeah find my

friends on iPhone but I have to say in

like a presidential bunker protection

place like that I'm pretty sure there

wouldn't be a signal for ordinary phones

like mine and yours like obviously they

would have communications through their

own means because they would communicate

out of a place like that but I'm pretty

sure if we would down there I would have

no signal to ordinary phone network so I

do have to admit the way Starlight got

there uh I felt was a bit forced but

either way I guess you know had to be

done so she could save the day and she

did I was thinking in this moment I

don't know if it occurred to anyone else

was like are they actually about to kill

Annie because I thought when she choked

out the Assassin that maybe she wasn't

really down and there was going to be

this moment where she just punches

through Annie and kills her because I

was expecting some kind of deaths this

episode and I know we got a death with

Newman and whatnot but um yeah everyone

for the most part on the boy side was

pretty safe but let me know if you

thought that was going to happen in that

moment to Starlight I also feel like I

don't know Starlight is trained I guess

but I don't know if she would be able to

take on a trained assassin like that she

was like running over the walls Matrix

Neo style and doing all this stuff and I

you know I think Annie again she's

trained but I don't know if it was so

believable that she could take out the

Assassin now back at their HQ with

Frenchie he informs him that the virus

is made we have a bit of a chat between

Starlight and huy which was pretty funny

like I can't blame Starlight at all

she's obviously a bit pissed off with

what she's learned about huie even

though he didn't know that it wasn't

really her but he was putting some Clues

together along the way it still is very

awkward very messed up for Annie to deal

with and then huy tells the boys about

letting human in and and allowing her to

flip and maybe helping out the situation

because ultimately they wanted to take

Newman out this whole season but if

she's still if she's not going to be

president anymore this is still a

similar outcome they don't really want

to forgive her but that's been quite a

big theme this season amongst you know

not only this moment but other

characters which reminds me we get that

moment with Kimo and Frenchie talking

about the Newman situation and talking

about forgiveness and how they need to

kind of forgive themselves and how can

they do that but they're going to try

each and every day and we finally got

that moment oh my God guys this made me

way more emotional than what I was

expecting and she kissed him and and

Frenchie kind of reacted like he did

before when they first kissed and it

kind of seemed that Kimo was getting

embarrassed I was like no no no not

again not again but then he reciprocates

it and kisses her back and I was just

like thank you it was such a warming

moment it was so cute as well when Kimo

tells Starlight I think this is just

something most fans of the boys have

just wanted to see and it's really nice

uh that we finally got there with these

two especially with what they're both

grappling with they're just like perfect

for each other but now we need to talk

about when Ryan visits butcher in

hospital so initially you know they're

talking about and easing him into like

okay you know you can't go back to

Homeland of v tower he's like I kind of

like it there well you know parts of it

so they're further getting into how Ryan

you know deep down that like this isn't

right your father isn't right do you

really want to be there but this is when

Grace you know I guess with the pressure

of everything in this episode just like

how Frenchie had pressure with the virus

and so this forced the boys to do other

things well there's the pressure that

mallerie has now with the threat of

homelander because the country is a

blaze and this is just crazy so she

decides to basically reveal to him that

the assassination attempt was on his

father's orders Flight 37 homelander

killed Every Soul on board and that they

have it on video and not only that he

wasn't having an affair with her mother

let's just say you know without speaking

to plainly here he forced that situation

on her and that's how Ryan came to be

and so this is a lot of information for

him to deal with and we know that Ryan

can get overwhelmed but he he initially

was you know like I need to think I need

to leave let me think but Grace just

kept going and going saying you're the

only one that can stop him basically

saying we can train you he starts using

his vision and notices that the walls

are 6' deep in here so he basically

knows that they're trapping him in a

cage unless he agrees to be their weapon

and as soon as he said just like they

did to my dad I was like no like surely

you're not going to identify going more

with your dad and going down that path

when you've just learned what happened

to your mom Flight 37 homelanders or

ordering an assassination he's a kid who

is getting overwhelmed and he needs time

to think but he's being given all of

this he's being told he can't leave so

he pushes Grace mallerie and she dies

and it it kind of did feel like that

moment you know I guess in Star Wars

when you know your journey to the dark

side is now complete now that killed on

mallerie so to speak I feel like the

episode the show is trying to convey to

you that okay this is his Anakin

Skywalker moment even though he knows

this info about his dad now he's kind of

chosen a path but I do want to go back

to what I said earlier even though we

have basically a firm path being

committed to by butcher with what he did

at the end of the episode this is the

last we see of Ryan so I know he walked

away I know he's killed mallerie but in

season five I do think he still has the

capability to help out because his path

from here on out as we're going to see

in season 5 is that all while I think in

the first few episodes he's going to be

with his dad he's going to kind of still

be like oh damn well I've killed Grace

now I guess I have to be here and he's

been tolerating it just like this whole

season and he's been going along with

what his father wants even though you

see this wavering of conflict within him

I expect that same stuff to happen but

even more so but there will be this

moment in where ultimately you know

Homeland is homelander he's going to do

that thing just like where he got the

phone call last episode episode and that

was kind of the straw that broke the

camels back for Ryan again there's going

to be another thing like that where I

think Ryan's going to be pushed over the

edge and he's going to do something I

don't know what it is but I think that's

going to lead to that moment in where I

don't know if homelander will kill him

as we were theorizing about or something

else or it could go the other way and

he's just fill on you know his father's

little sidekick and butcher is going to

be forced to take him out I'm not sure

but I wouldn't write Ryan off right now

despite what we saw in this moment

however though this is when appears and

it basically confirms to butcher what he

needs to do now basically end of the

episode is now we have butcher arrive he

says no deals and all of his tentacle

cancer tentacles come out and he's

basically like the dock hok of cancer

which is something I never thought I

would say and he takes out Zoe who

doesn't die and it's really sad what

happens to her she basically ends up at

the Red River group home just like her

mother grew up in and he pulls Victoria

Newman apart I've seen some people say

on social media already that they think

that this isn't the end of Newman but I

think it is she's gone like yeah very

evidently gone and I was a bit

frustrated at butcher because it's kind

of like why are you doing I know he

subscribed to a plan but at the end of

the day the plan was to take out Newman

because it would be a disaster if she

was a super president they didn't want

that now the thing is since she's no

longer going to be president and she

wants out she's no longer a threat in

the same way that they they saw her as

so it was a bit frustrating that butcher

was just like well you know I'm going to

do it anyway but I guess at this point

he's at the point of no return even

though I I still think there's going to

be some moments of the other good side

of Billy coming through but for now he's

you know fully committed to kesler's way

of doing things he takes the virus of

Frenchie and now I guess he's on his way

to commit soup genocide and this puts a

massive Rift between Billy and the boys

because it's now like are the boys going

to want to stop Billy because they

obviously don't want you know every soup

is bad I mean Annie's one of them chemo

is one of them so next season I I think

it'd be really sad but maybe a necessary

thing to do if I wouldn't be surprised

again shooting a theory out here what if

huy is the one to take out butcher right

before I don't know the said moment

happens in terms of you know whatever

could happen with the virus Rippling out

to create a massive soup pandemic I mean

we all know that butcher is going to die

as well as homelander next season but I

wonder if there's going to be other

people involved in that like huie maybe

not homelander to be the one to kill

butcher but actually huie himself this

is where we have Newman's death being

reported on the news it's pinned on

Robert's singer because there's a

recording of him getting out there and

we have Sage arrived to homelander she

reveals kind of what we went over

earlier this was all a part of her plan

and you know Homeland is a bit struck

like why you why did you do this you

know I threw you out like trash and was

she was just like because I wanted to

see if I could do it like it's all a big

you know ex mental exercise for her to

test her brain capabilties so she has

survived to next season so she's going

to be you know this is really disastrous

because there's such a f like there's so

much up against the boys and there such

a formidable thing for them to deal with

homelander in this new position now we

have the new president uh order freaking

martial law and he pledges full

allegiance to homelander so he's a

puppet I mean to the point of when

homelander basically kind of tells him

to get off stage and interrupts his

speech so he can do his new speech

there's so much for them to go against

how are they going to it's almost it

almost seems impossible especially with

them all being rounded up at the end of

the episode by the new regime that has

been put forward I mean as homelander

said in this moment that there's going

to be deputized superheroes Nationwide

who will report directly to homelander

himself whole entire armies of soups

will be called upon to root the traitors

out from the government and the streets

the boys themselves for the most part so

we have Kimo Frenchie huy who have been

rounded up mm like mm got freaking dick

slapped huy ended up in the car crash

Starlight got away so that's going to be

very helpful she jetted off in a very

badass badass way so um I mean she's not

going to be able to help alone but yeah

I feel like she's the only one outside

of butcher who's actually out in the

wind because if you think about it Kimo

has been restrained separately from

Frenchie cuz she's a soup so maybe they

wanted to handle her separately and they

were taken out by Kate and Sam from gen

V I imagine next episode in season 5

episode one will probably they'll show a

scene of Annie trying to break huy out

of a camp and I imagine the boys will

regroup like mm Frenchie Kimo so I think

it's going to be a bit of Camp prison

camp breaking from Starlight and then

they're going to try and I don't know

win back the day Against All Odds in a

secret HQ reminiscent to previous

Seasons if you remember when they were

like underground and operating from

there and couldn't really go out in

public and stuff I can easily imagine

things like that happening but still

they've got they've got a tidal wave to

go up against and don't get me started

on how Kimo's voice came back when she

was losing Frenchie screaming no that

was heartbreaking and as for the very

ending the president puppet being like

oh I've only just learned about this and

you were the first person I wanted to

tell but soja boy is still kicking

around and I know I briefly spoke about

this earlier but I'm wondering if we are

going to see him get out again and

actually that being something that

homelander himself can't resist doing

because he might let his dad go or at

least I don't know turn down the hallan

or whatever it is enough to wake him up

so we can have a conversation with him

which would be a big mistake but uh I

can imagine again homelander is is his

own greatest enemy and as Sage even

teased as you guys pointed out to me

that there's one person he will never be

able to defeat and that's himself and

this could be one of The Dominoes on top

of the other things he has going against

him potentially Ryan Billy's freaking

vile of virus but also his dad that he

might not be able to resist with waking

up who could also maybe help out the

boys once again in the final season um

and that would be pretty hilarious if he

wakes them up and then he escapes and

then I I don't know if the boys would

work with him again espe that would

cause all kinds of crazy stuff

especially for mm but I mean they're

going to need any ounce of help that

they can get next season so if you have

any theories with regards to soja boy

let me know down in the comments below

as well but that was the episode I mean

I could ramble for a lot longer but I've

been rambling for long enough as it is I

feel like I've got all the theories out

of me throughout the recap that I could

without repeating myself so much from my

last review I I still am pretty adamant

that this season not a bunch happened I

mean obviously a bunch has happened now

in by the finale but it did feel like

they were Bridging the Gap a little I

wouldn't say it's filler or anything

like that don't don't get me wrong but

it bridged the Gap to the fifth and

final season and where I think they're

going to go all gung-ho and and not hold

back whatsoever I mean after all it's

the fifth and final season so I think

next season's going to be way way way

crazier than this one so I guess I'm

just going to leave the floor open to

you guys what did you think of the

finale any theories that you have what

did you think of this season as a whole

I'll be chatting about it with you guys

down in that comment section but if

you've made it to this part of the video

and you've been watching my coverage of

the boys all season long would really

appreciate a like from you guys maybe

consider subscribing for other videos on

the channel and obviously the boys

season 5 when when we have eventually

get that but uh I'm going to love you

and leave you now so honestly just thank

you so much for watching I hope you all

have a lovely rest of your day and I'll

see you fellow boys in the next video

goodbye
