Sage's attempt at 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:39.080 V one recreation, he bleeds out of his rectimens and dies. 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.280 We meet Paul Riiser as the Legend. We meet the 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.520 other old timer v one Soup's bomb Site, and Goldie 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:54.000 the Deep has his pipeline disaster and films a propaganda 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.440 video about how the sea life loves oil and then 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.440 privately admits to a fish that they all kind of 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:04.240 hated and this turns the ocean basically against him. Sage 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.919 Sister Sage defects. The Soldier Boy has a long reverie 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:18.600 about stormfront Uh and then Soldier Boy goes back to 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.440 Vaught Tower presents Homelander with the V one after having 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.560 stolen it from the boys. He depowers bomb site by 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.160 burning the V one out of him with his nuclear beam, 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:34.040 and then Homelander uses his heat vision to open a 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.040 wound in his own arm. He injects himself with the 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.440 V one and he is now immortal. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:39.240 Scary. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:48.680 Episode seven, penultimate episode, which was strangely strangely divisive episode. 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.320 Yeah, very divisive. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.800 It was super Producer Joel was a big fan of 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.519 this episode, felt like it really worked. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.720 I felt quite neutral about the whole season, like it 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.560 didn't excite me. Greatly. It didn't like sev me, but 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.040 it was a very divisive episode. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.480 We'd already had the fill episodes conversation, and with episode 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.760 seven we kind of started to feel people feeling a 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.799 fatigue with the show and where it was going. I 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.440 think maybe because it was going exactly where we. 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:17.600 All knew it was gonna go. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.360 And when you know that and it does deliver on 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:25.040 what you're expecting, the question is like, it's all about execution, 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.400 and sometimes it's not gonna work for people. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.080 So in episode seven, where you've got the big build 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:37.480 up to Homelander is God, Oh Father, is you know, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:43.120 rehearsing for the big Homelander is God reveal. Homelander is, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:47.560 of course now immortal. He makes a list of things 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:52.240 that he wants done. They include make the Democratic Church 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:57.840 of America in the national religion, send troops into sanctuary cities, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:05.120 ban abortion, one on abortion, on all nut milk, no 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.640 pure breast milk or milk cow milk only. That's it. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.720 No more nut milk. It's a it's a scourge on 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:17.680 the country. Calhoun, President Calhoun, the sock puppet. President cal 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.960 Kunling lightly pushes back on stuff and Homelander kills him. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.239 I was gonna say bad idea, like extremely bad idea. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:31.479 Ashley Barrett is not president. Homelander dissolves the Seven, declares 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.640 he doesn't need them anymore because he is. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.440 God pride before a fool my guy like you are. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.559 He falls into this so quickly and so obviously. Again, 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.200 I do think this is one of the issues, is 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.320 like you would hope that someone who's so evil semoniacal. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.039 We know he's fucked up, we know he's like stuck 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:53.400 in this kind of you know, frozen in childhood, but like, 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.960 who isn't my guy, we don't know become like crazy fascists. 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.400 We're all dealing with actual. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.520 Mode, Like come on, So yeah, it's uh he I 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.480 feel like he falls for it too fast, but he's 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:03.880 just like, fuck it, I don't need anyone. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.320 I'm tough, I'm a god, I'm immortal. It's gonna be. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.400 Badly, very pathetically pleased to stay on in it. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.280 Hard to watch consistently. 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.760 Yes, in this show, we shouted him out, like when 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.520 we were talking about the boys before, But like Chase 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.520 Crawford is just what a role like unafraid to just 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.200 be the absolute fucking worst at all. Times and always 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.920 be showing the worst possible side of this character is simpering, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.440 like begging to be involved, begging to be allowed to 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.400 be part of like the world's worst fascist government. It's 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.520 so pathetic it is hard to watch. You're right, which 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:40.640 is a credit to him. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:47.599 We see Soldier Boy in cryo and this and a 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:52.960 scene that feels like a handoff to the Vote Rising prequel. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:58.480 The boys irradiate Comiko. He hears Kamiko screaming, finds Frenchy 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.560 and Butcher exposing her to massive of enriched uranium in 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.680 the safe house. They are trying, of course, to replicate 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.719 the original Russian experiments that gave Soldier Boys his power 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:13.560 stripping nuclear check collassed U. It's very painful. Huey's horrified, 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.600 Butcher and Frenchy insists this is the only thing that 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.960 they can do, and Camiko's like, yeah, I want this 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:20.200 keep going. 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.440 I want sick nuclear powers. 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:29.120 Now here come the youngsters. Marie Moreau Jordan show up. 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.120 Annie initially tries to dismiss Marie, saying her powers are 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.640 too unstable to be useful, which is. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:39.600 Yes, is where the conversation started. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.080 But it does not make sense, doesn't Marie then throws 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.800 Annie's online back at her, saying, since when did hopeful 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.080 and I You've become the same thing. The four of 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.560 them stake out Vought Studios, where O father has been 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.200 spending a lot of time. They discover oh father is 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.480 running a focus group screening of the Easter Homelander unveiling 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.640 for ordinary folks, with she Line and dog Knot and 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.839 two of the teenage kicks embedding the audience to basically 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.080 murder anybody who doesn't believe that crazy that this is true. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.680 She Line and dog Knot are disgusting, sniffing each other, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:22.080 licking each other. MM and Annie are are horrified listening 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.720 and watching them through the events, and when they start 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.360 murdering the crowd, MM and Annie get involved hell she 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.200 Line and dog Knot and Annie evacuates the focus group 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.840 to safety. We get the emotional core of the episode, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:41.080 which is MM telling Annie where his nickname comes from. 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.560 As a kid, he found a baby bird. He nursed 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.000 it back to health, and the kid and neighborhood kids 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.600 were mocking him, but it stuck. 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.960 I'm going to tell you something, guys, five million times 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.080 fucking bat than where he got them in the comics, 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.280 do not google it, do not fucking read it. 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:57.760 Fuck that. 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.800 You can guess, you can get guess you can guess 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:06.480 based on the coming. Butcher and Hughey infiltrate Vought's studios separately, 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.880 they're captured by Synaps, who is a shape shifter. Synaps 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.880 pulls the Joe Kessler hallucination right out of Butcher's head 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.960 use it against him. We basically find out that Butcher 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.320 was the only member of his SA S unit to 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.320 survive or remission because he'd do the most horrible things 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.120 he needed to do in order to complete the objective. 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.800 Butcher is broken psychologically, and Synaps extracts the location of 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.439 the boys safe house where Sage and Kimiko are. Huey 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.199 buys time by distracting Synaps, and Butcher kills him. Homelander 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.680 goes to the base and you know, Camiko and Sage 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.640 are in there. French. He volunteers to be bait. He 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:51.000 loures Homelander towards the uranium chamber, talking big shit in 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:57.360 French talking. They've already replicated Soldier boys depowering ability, and 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.560 you know we're going to use it on you very soon, 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.960 he French. He locks himself inside the radiation chamber gives 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.480 Homelander to the finger, you know, implying that the chamber 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.120 will kill a Homelander even though it won't. Homelander is 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.599 v one immortal. He does not take the bait regardless, 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.240 instead reaches through the glass through Frenchy's chests and rips 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:21.319 out his organs. Yeah, Kamiko finds him blading. Yeah, Kamiko 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:26.080 finds him bleeding out, and they have a heartwarming moment 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:30.480 together as he you know, says Chitim mccor all of 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:36.719 his his most notable phrases. And also this to your 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:43.120 point about comics authenticity, this was this was very much 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:48.720 like the comic version of his death, although you know better. 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.720 Yeah, As with everything in this show, it was just 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:52.320 so funny. 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.520 And then finally we end with sister Sage, just like 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:01.560 in a depression spiral, she realizes she can't predict the 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.600 impact of like love. She can only impact like predict 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.040 like hate and stuff and her own heartbreak over Thomas 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:16.719 Goodalkin it has basically like totally broken her and so 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.920 she's useless. So she keeps lobotomizing herself and binge watching 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.560 Love Island, another trash TV good fab Now we come 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:30.319 to the finale Homelander. We get you know, basically a 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.400 we open with a body count montage, basically setting us 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:40.160 up for hopefully a very satisfying end of Homelander, letting 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.840 us know all the terrible things that he's done. We 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:49.200 go to Frenchie's funeral. It's all the boys, you know, Butcher, Hueye, CANi, Go, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.400 m m Annie and Sage standing around. Hue reads Frenchy's will, 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.600 which is crude and funny as you would expect. 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.840 Lots of talk about He's seen the fucking asses and 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.800 the assholes and their dick and get it lovely. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:11.120 Kimiko can't speak. She has also apparently lost the ability 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:16.200 to fire the depowering blast because of butcher diagnosis. It 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.600 has because of like the emotional trauma of losing Frenchy. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.079 Ryan is hiding somewhere in Russia and the wilds of Russia, 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:30.079 still watching watching TV, which I guess goes out around 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.280 the world in English. Yeah, of course famous Homelanders shows up. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.280 Now if you want immortal, basically trying to like make 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.800 up with Ryan is like you should come come back 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.559 with a tower you have, like you have a whole floor. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.360 You have my blood. It's very important that like the 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.839 son of God, you know, like you could just you know, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.520 you can just kill people in the street like me. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.800 It's gonna be great. Ryan is out of it, but 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.360 you're in. Sage return to Frenchy's grave, where Kimmiko is 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.520 still there. Stage launches into it very mean monologue in 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.880 which she refers to Kimiko as friend, she's pet and 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.840 this is French She never got to be happy because 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.439 of her, and that his death is because of her. 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:14.880 Chimico's rage builds, and she does fire the powering blast 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.280 as out of like emotional destroyers. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.839 When I get into. 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.199 Firing the blast, Sage takes a full hit and when 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.600 she gets up, she's dumb. Now she's just a regular person. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.640 She can't dream. 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.000 She's wanted this forever. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.480 Due She really upset about this, that like she's evil. 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:36.920 Why did she get what she wants? 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.679 I'm like just labby dumb, Like it's much less they 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.560 in dressed to everyone.

They're going to use the underground 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.319 tunnel the JFK supposed leads to sneak. Marilyn Monroe in 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.200 Sage announces that she's not coming because she doesn't she 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.280 can't do anything anyway, and all she wants to do 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:37.920 is go to Harry Potter World in Universal Universal Studios. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:38.800 It's very funny. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.840 Do you think they added that to be like she's 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.280 still evil? They were like that's the only place she 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.439 wants to go. They were just like, she's just normy. 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.079 She's like, she's just annoy me. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:52.120 I think that's what they're saying. The boys, Marie, Marie, Jordan, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:57.840 Emma evacuate the rescued focus group people to Canada. They're now, yeah, yeah, 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.440 go away, go to the border. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.880 Hey, what do you mean this is one of the 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.280 best ships we've ever had in the hole of the 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.720 fucking Boys universe, and not even that, two of the 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:11.319 most interesting powers we've ever seen. Like, even if Marie's 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.640 obviously I'm not gonna lie, I feel like I gotta 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:17.320 know the behind the scenes choices here Crippkey is saying 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:21.400 it's because in season three there's season three that got 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.600 canceled of GENV it would have been Marie's like Dagabar 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.440 Yoda learning her training season. But I feel like we 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.440 actually got that with her in Godolkin. 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.680 That was kind of the point. She was being trained 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:32.400 by the most. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.000 Evil, fucking powerful guy who created Soups, So it was 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.720 like she was being trained to be the Homelander, you know, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.240 a bomb. I think it's crazy that for some reason 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.760 that got delayed at it think I would have just 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.240 loved to see her. Imagine if she'd just like they'd 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.160 let her try like halfway through the episode and you'd 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:51.760 be like, why is this happening and she just like 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.040 blew off his arm or something, and they were like, 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.360 for fuck's sake, you're not powerful enough, like go train 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.920 anything better than just like go Like she can let 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.240 really control people. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.000 Cancel the show and that's it. Yeah, that's why. That's honestly, 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.480 I does feel like that, right, that's why the show. 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:13.560 And they probably had her on a studio option for 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:19.360 appearances in other Boys properties contingent on gen V continuing 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.840 and it didn't, so they they could have had her 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:22.400 in it more. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:23.400 But bro, I got it. 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.320 He actually they'd probably have to sign her to a 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:25.760 new deal. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.440 And so this is what I needs happened. I need. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.560 The only way that I will support. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.400 Vat Rising is if it's secretly a show about Marie 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.080 Ramireau going back in time and killing all those Nazis. 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.440 Eric Kripkey, you got to surprise us, because no one 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.080 want to watch that Nazi romance show. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:46.480 So the Boys infiltrate the White House through the fuck Tunnel. Homelander, however, 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.840 has anticipated this and locked the door behind them, and 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.360 the mission is very nearly doomed. But then President Ashley Barrett, 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:59.160 acting on her conscience after spending the entire episode not 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.040 able to tap into her Voldemort head because of an 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:07.480 argument they had in episode seven, goes down and lets 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:11.520 them through, and the other actually is basically like you 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:11.880 did it. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.120 Bitch, Congratulations, good job, good job. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.120 And he kills the deep. They have a fight. They 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:22.760 have a fight over by like a shoreline, and she 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.000 gives him one last chance to renounce Homelander. Of course 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:29.320 he can't. He blames her for ruining his life. She 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.560 into the ocean and the sea life. Finally get the 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:36.560 revenge octopus tentacle through the through the ass, up through 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.000 the mouth, and he is dead. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.280 Good. It was like he was. He was always abusing 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:42.840 that octopus. This is what he does. 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.640 He was terrible to all sea creatures that he knew 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.200 it was wrong. Hue and m M get into it, 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.960 get into a fight with o father in the studio 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.880 in the TV studio. Oh father is about to blast 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:03.520 hue but then and EMM puts the instructible ballgag that 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.960 Ashley had given him into his mouth and as he's 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.040 using his like scream and it blows his head apart 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.600 and sprays Hueye with gore. And Huey is like, why 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:16.280 am I doing. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.960 This very multiverse of madness? Ye black belt coded what mouth? 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:26.600 That's so good? Homelander is in his the middle of 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.160 his divinity speech. He's basically gone off teleprompter and he's 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:36.119 being like the most you know, vengeful, openly evil version 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.560 of a god telling people like I'm going to live 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:43.720 forever and the world is destroyed and his ashes, I 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.040 will be the god of the ashes, like fuck you all. 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.399 Butcher blows a hole in the Oval office and they 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:54.480 start fighting. It's a pretty even fight until Ryan arrives 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.800 and the two of them are grappling with Homelander as 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.640 Kimiko comes in and it seems like she's not gonna 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.480 be able to blast them with her deeppowering blast, but 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:09.040 she has a vision of Frenchy who's like, you can 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.639 do it, and she does it. And now Butcher, Ryan 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.880 and Homelander are deep power free. Ryan honestly so good 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.360 for him. Ryan was, i think, is happy with this 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.000 that to happen. Homelander then begs For's life. It is pathetic, 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.200 it is it's. 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:24.920 And it's like tel. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.520 Is saying he will do anything like it's so bad, 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:36.800 Like it's really it's exactly what cowards would do, but 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.240 it's also what men who look up to cowards don't 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:41.440 want cowards to do. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.720 So it's like it at this moment Homeland that loses everything. 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.800 I think that aspect of ritual humiliation was something I 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.520 didn't think they were going to bring to it, and 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.199 I did think that was quite cathartic. 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.600 I do think this was still a long overdue death. 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.200 I don't necessarily know if it delivered, but I did 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.520 think that that I did. I like how both one 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.760 again and now this kind of us this idea of 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.520 like public humiliation from men who have tried to use 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.800 the media to kind of reshape the world in that 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.320 image is really interesting. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.360 And then we get like an extended kind of cruise. 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:21.000 Towards the end, we see we see Stan Edgar announcing 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.520 he's returning to Vaught, and we see the kind of fallout. 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:27.840 Ashley is president for like an hour is eventually like 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.960 and it just gets impeached, like impeached immediately by the 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.239 by the United Congress and Senate. After saying like I 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.000 had nothing to do. He's like, I. 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:36.960 Didn't do anything wrong. 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.159 I'm the president now, and that like absolutely fucking doult bitch, 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.080 You'll get impeached Extreme vat vibes. 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:48.480 Butcher meanwhile has a vial of the soup killing virus 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:53.240 and slips away. While everybody's feeling like this whole thing 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:59.240 is over, he goes to Vaught, but hue notices and 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.359 meets him there, and then they have this conversation about, 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.720 you know, whether or not to drop the virus and 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.399 kill all the soup, kill every last soup. Butcher's like 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.480 waiting in Vought for like all the soups to come 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:19.200 in to work, and instead Huey shoots him and apologize 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.080 for doing it, and so the all the soups who 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.560 are currently alive get to continue being sous. 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.199 Which obviously he has to do because his girlfriend is 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:29.639 a soup. 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:31.920 Like obviously I have I'm eiger to. 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:36.560 Talk about this and have Joelle call me a genocider 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.840 of all soups, but like, I'm I'm e going to talk, 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.520 I'm eager to talk about this. Then we get the epilogue. 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.760 Robert Singer, president elect framed in season four, is president again. 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.480 Hughey and Annie are together. They go back to work 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:56.560 at like the radio shack type store, and Annie is 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.080 pregnant with Hughey's child. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.639 We hope, Yeah, who is called Robin? Please tell me? 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.160 Was that the name of like? Is that the name 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.560 of his girlfriend who got killed in the first episode? 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:08.280 I can't remember. 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:13.320 I heard no, God, Oh that's so weird. Okay, no, 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.800 but actually that's nice. That's nice. 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:18.399 I take it back kind but it kind of is. 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:19.159 I don't know. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.280 I think it's nice. I think that's nice. 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.000 This breach has just gone on like a superhero killing 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.359 like Nightmare Journey because of that woman's death. And then 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.919 he's like, I'm gonna name a baby after so I 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.040 can always remember all the people I killed. 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:36.560 I like the mentality. I think it's nice. Mm reunites 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.120 with his family, Ryan joins. 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:43.200 Oh yeah, Mm finally gets to get like engaged or 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:44.320 like Mary isiance. Like. 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:45.880 I love that he got a happy ending. 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.160 That was like probably the only person I was invested 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:49.320 in getting a happy ending. 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.360 I didn't really care about anyone else by the end. 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:52.919 So I think that was a nice moment. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.680 Unexpected kind of goes against what you expect from a 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:58.399 comic adaptation like this, So I did like that moment. 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:03.119 Kimiko goes to Marshall Franchi's hometown where you know, the 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:06.480 two had talked about going there together, and she gets 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:10.639 the dog that they had been talking about getting. She 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:15.600 has her voice back and she seems happy, and you know, 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:20.480 Stan Edgar is the CEO of lot so let's take 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:24.119 a break, insane. No, let's take a break and be 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.439 back to talk about this episode in the season boys 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:44.080 in general. Yeah, and we're back. Okay, what do we think, Rosie, 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:44.960 what do we think? 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.040 I think it was a this is my I was 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:49.760 I was walking this one and through my little walk 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:51.320 and I was like, this is kind of this is 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:55.400 I'm gonna say that it was a it was a phenomena. 0:22:56.640 --> 0:23:01.760 It was a men like, like, Okay, I thought it 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.800 was fine. I think like I think it was it 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:05.920 did what he needed to do. 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:10.280 I think unfortunately, this season has felt to me a 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.840 little bit like it's serviceable, and at times it's been 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.919 really great. But I think like this felt like a 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.600 serviceable finale. But like, I'm not gonna lie. When they 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.320 did the Butcher thing with him still having the virus, 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:25.400 I was like, oh my god, they're gonna kill all 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:28.640 the soups, And I thought that was an really crazy 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:32.720 interesting route to go because also set up Hueiye, he 0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:34.800
