The Boys Just REVEALED The Writers Failed Season 5! Episode 7 Review

Added: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]Thank you for saving me.

[00:00:02]>> No, you saved me.

[00:00:11]>> We're talking the boy. Season 5, episode 7, the Frenchman, the female, and the man called Mother's Milk. Man, I have to tell you, I am not very optimistic after that episode. I'm actually on the verge of going on a rant on here. I am very upset with the lackluster writing, the lackluster events and even the lackluster deaths that happened in this season going down to the wire. We were at episode seven here, but I want to talk about it. Let me know what you thought of the season or let me know what you thought of the episode. Uh leave your comments down below. I'll ask some questions down there, so feel free to answer those. This is Miley Films.

[00:00:41]Hit that like button, hit that sub button. We are chasing 5K, so help us out there. Continue to subscribe so we can keep this conversation going.

[00:00:47]Without further ado, man, we got to jump into this.

[00:00:50]>> It's over. We lost.

[00:00:54]We ain't done yet.

[00:00:56]Even if I have to drag your broken [ __ ] carcasses over the finish line.

[00:01:02]>> So, I I have all the show notes written down from the episode, but I there is no way I can start this without ranting about this episode and how this season is going. And I had a conversation with somebody in the comments and they said, "This has gone full Game of Thrones."

[00:01:16]And I'm like, "No, not quite. I have enjoyed the little moments in the show and some of the writing I thought was good." And at parts it just felt like some let downs and now I'm like man they might have been right. Look two two other shows Game of Thrones and Stranger Things both flopped in the final season.

[00:01:34]Now we know why that happened. Game of Thrones the writers wanted to do something else or producer whatever they want to do something else. They want to move on. They rushed that last season had things just happening and all fast really without consequence just started moving through stuff. I understand that Stranger Things their their screenwriter left and left and off the final season.

[00:01:53]They just started running stuff in that just didn't make any sense. So, I understand why those two flopped. I don't know what happened with the boys.

[00:01:59]I have no clue what happened with the boys. If there's some major thing behind the scenes that happened, please let me know down in the comments cuz I just might be unaware of because as far as big events here, this is not the same level of writing as any of the other seasons. one, two, three, and four all had big events happen, good writing through, setting up, surprises, deaths, everything worked well and was choreographed to the one of the best four seasons of any show that that has been out there, just like those other two. And in this fifth season, we are getting the most antilimactic deaths, lackluster writing, no battle. Still, we are seven episodes in and we have not gotten any memorable battles. I just talked about in my last video I did right before this episode dropped and things that need to happen in in season seven to or the things that need to happen episode 7 episode 8 to fill this season has been complete and to complete out the story arc of the boys which is a great show in a show I love and I have to say like we keep it a hunter here we keep it honest here like I don't have Scotty here to rant with me this time he'll be back soon but I have to tell you like I am highly disappointed with the direction this show is going because it has me feeling like I'm getting episodes at the episode seven. This feels like an episode two of a season two. Like this does not feel like episode seven of the final season of The Boys. Like I I just it just doesn't there's no It doesn't feel like there's any stakes. They are going on regular Joe missions. Like this mission could have happened at any time. They don't even It feels like and I really liked episode 6. We go back to that. That kind of got us back on pace and I'm like, "Okay, they brought episode six. They're going to bring these last two episodes."

[00:03:42]It feels like episode six didn't even happen. Like how much of this episode feels like Homelander even got the V1.

[00:03:49]Like they're just like other than them moping around like a it's over. Oh, we lost. And we do get some good moments from that. It it doesn't even feel like the stakes are that high. Like it almost feel like the stakes were are lower than when they were just searching for the V1. Like it just it doesn't feel like anybody has any sense of urgency, any sense of feeling danger. like it just really like and I understand the characters are trying to express that as we get Sage in a depression, the boys are moping around. We get some good inspirational speeches, but as far as the writing and the tension that the show is supposed to present to us, it just it's just not there. And like again, I have I have some notes. We'll jump into some like important moments in here, but outside of a couple good speeches, I thought Butcher gave one that that was really good. I liked MM's mode where he tells his backstory and how he got the nick the nickname. I like that. Everything else that I mentioned that needs to happen. I I'll run you through the eight things right now if you want to know. One of the main things I said is this show needs to go scorched earth. Did we get any scorched earth here? No. We barely got a fight. We get to see Starlight getting washed again like she's gotten washed all see like can she beat anybody without any interference from another character or distraction? And the dog guy fine. Maybe he's strong. Maybe, you know, maybe he's agile. like I've we've seen him a couple times, but I have to again reiterate Starlight was a member of the seven. I understand it's probably because she had some religious appeal and to bring in that audience because they had the big religious fest in season 1 and certain things like that, but we've had main characters, the deep homelander who have been worried about her powers and told her, "Hey, keep your hands down. Don't let your eyes bluff. You do that, I got to take you out right now because I am afraid of what you're going to do." We have her getting washed again. Mm over there with no powers, he could fight better than Starlight. Like if it wasn't for MM, Starlight would be dead. And we go back to last episode, it wasn't for Huey, you feel like Starlight would be dead. Like it just makes no sense how they have nerfed this character. Um, another thing I talked about the Genv characters. We bring in Marie Monroe. I understand a lot of the boys fans who went out watch Jin V, they're pretty split on it. I enjoy Jinv. I'm cool being in that little section that did. I thought it gave us characters that you cared about more and kind of the same kind of setup as the boys. I thought they did that. Well, you're bringing Marie Maro over and for people who don't really care about that character and didn't watch those two seasons, you're like, "Okay, we got this hype. We got this character that's this godlike, you know, Homelander like power." Well, when she comes in now, she's on the big stage. She's been missing for a year.

[00:06:27]What she's going to do? She walks in and it's like, "Hey, you're you're that girl, right? You're that one that has the same Project Odessa Homelander ability and the first thing she says, "Hey, I'm a bit overrated."

[00:06:40]Seriously, you don't want to build up any hype or any anticipation on what this character can do? Cuz now if she comes out in episode 8 and starts flipping the world over and really showing her abilities that we seen building up from GenV, it's like, "Well, where'd that come from?" Cuz you just told us you're a bit overrated. Like it you're writing yourself into a wall. And they've done it in so many areas of this. Like Starlight cannot I I like I I will come on here and start cussing because she cannot have a big hero moment in episode 8 in the final one against anybody worth a fight because she has gotten washed all season. I will be pissed if that happens because that's terrible writing a leadup and us not even feel like this character is a threat. That cannot happen. Also too, like uh Soulja Boy, got to start with him. I I like I said this was this was happening with the character arcs episode we did. If you missed that, go check that out. But his character RC need to finish. And I said, one of my biggest beasts with Soulja Boy is that he is so flippy floppy. And even before he flipped back in episode 6, I said, "You know what? Soulja Boy is going to flip again. He's going to go back against Homelander." And he does it in episode. And then he flips back. And guess what? We get to episode seven.

[00:07:52]Well, golly G, he's flipped again. Like, yeah, you can't make this up. Like, we knew this was coming. Why would you give him the V1? You could have wrote in Homelander, got the V1 any other way.

[00:08:07]The whole where Solder Boy is like, okay, like he got it. I didn't have any input here. I didn't stop him from getting it, but like fine, you got it. I want to get out of here. Which we know.

[00:08:15]Do we know that character better than the writers? Because we knew he was not going to be with Homelander. He finds him annoying. He doesn't like being around him. He feels he's soft. Like he doesn't like that character at all. And and also too, like does anyone in this show have any lack of awareness? Soulja Boy by now he's been around him for what, three seasons? Since season three.

[00:08:42]He's been around him this long. He knows he's mentally unstable. He knows that Homelander is dying out to impress him, have him as his dad figure and, you know, just be like the guy that he wants to look up to and hang around and work and I don't want to say worship because he wants to be the god himself, but just like look up to this man says, "Yeah, I understand you want me around, but you know, I'm good off that. Let me walk out of here and like have no awareness of what you're doing and leave you behind my back." reminiscent of the deep and noir situation last episode just like it. Of course, chokes him out, throws him back in the in the um cryo chamber or whatever because of course he wasn't going to let him walk out that you just you knew that as a character you got some awareness like that is not going to happen. Like I I just cannot believe the aloofness of this character. And and another thing like we just I can't go this industry more but we just lost one of the core characters from the beginning. One of our more one of the characters with more heart like the reason I like Jen Vito's characters have way more heart than the characters of the boys. I'm like y'all are all evil terrible people. You die you die.

[00:09:55]Frenchie and mm have had the most heart of any of these characters to the point where you're like dang. like if anybody makes it out and I guess you can throw Kimo in there cuz of her circumstances, but those two have been there from the start. And you're like, well, if these two make it out or, you know, something bad happens to them, I'm going to feel it. Like, I'm going to feel the pain if something bad happens to these characters. If they don't not make it out and walk out into the happiness, if we predict who's going to die, we knew Frenchie was going to die. There was just there was just no way that like I said, both couples were going to make it out happy. And I thought Huey and Starlight, they're they're more of the stars. they'll probably have a better chance of making it out without an emotional death. And of course, Kimmy Co and and Frenchie probably won't go be it. Especially the way they were loved.

[00:10:35]They've been happy. Frenchie's been, you know, snapping his fingers, dancing, bobbing, having a good time. He even gives an inspirational speech in this episode, which definitely do not do.

[00:10:44]That's how you go get yourself killed.

[00:10:45]But we knew that. That's what the leaks out out there were saying. That's what the rumors out there were saying. We expected it. And he gets in a room with Homelander talking crazy to him. And we don't even get a death that's like that even makes you cringe or like oh don't do my guy like that. Like it was just like well hell if you get stuck with Homelander out of ways to go that is probably the easiest route you could have. Like honestly you walked out well when he walked out when he got out of there just crawling for him like heck he might even live. Homelander don't know he just left out and said f this. But it's like it didn't even feel emot like the deaths have been so cheapened in this season that it's like you left Homelander in a room with Frenchie. Have him choke him out. Have him do something menacy. Like the boys to almost the levels of exploitation have gone to these deaths. They made them gruesome. They made you like oh like that that's like I don't want to go like that. Like that sucks. They've they've gone to these high of levels. we get into season five, the final season.

[00:11:56]The deaths we have got is somebody's head getting put on a pike really quickly, so they don't even know what's going on. We get a knife to the neck, no blood, really no fighting leading up to that. And we get one of our main central characters, the way people have gone out, one of the most peaceful deaths you've seen in the season. Like you've seen people you don't know like randomly on the street get it way worse than that. It's just like, and I'm not saying you got to use exploitation in a death, but make your audience feel something. Like I the way I I'm like, hey, like Frenchie lucky like he went out in a way like if I'm in this situation in this show, the way I've seen people go out, that's the way I want to go out. And it wasn't even off of a badass action scene or it wasn't even off like a really good moment. It's off not a lot happening and now we get this. I just Man, let let me know down.

[00:12:48]I know I'm ranting. I'm sorry. Sorry, I want to go through the episode at least some to go on with with what's going on here. But let me know what what you thought of all this stuff cuz I I I don't want to say I'm pissed, but I am highly upset and I'm not even looking.

[00:13:03]They might go score in the finale, but I'm not even looking forward to what happens. But it's it anyway, here we go.

[00:13:10]So, basically the rundown to end this episode 7. I want to talk about a couple things here. One, I got I got to give O Father some some key. I thought that opening song and note and dance just being in black churches for a long time.

[00:13:23]I thought that was fantastic. That song was actually kind of catchy. I'm like, "All right, I could I kind of rock with this Homelander stuff like that was fun.

[00:13:29]I do like that. And I do I do really like that character. I want to see that actor in more stuff. I haven't seen him in a lot." And that could just be a me thing, but I do really like that character. But obviously it it was is straight from the comics. Homelander takes over the White House. I don't I don't necessarily know and I don't have Scotty here unfortunately, but I know he probably takes it over by force in the comics. here just comes in and he's chilling there like all right Homelander like there nothing we can do. So there you have it. Uses Ashley to realize a president who we all know is just scared of him and doesn't feel he's a true god and kills him which you could have killed him five episodes ago. You knew that. We all knew that. Everyone in the room you don't what do you need Ashley for? Everybody knows the president is just scared of you so he's going to do whatever you're going to say. No he doesn't believe in you as this god. This whole believe in him as his god plotline is ridiculous because no one's gonna believe he's he's the god lord and savior in five minutes. Even old father is like, "Can you give me a week? Can you give me a little more time?" Like, "Give me something." Anyway, I'm I'm moving on. Okay, so like I said, we finally get the characters from Jenv.

[00:14:31]Jordan and Marie, who if you don't watch Jenvy, Jordan can fight. Like Jordan is a good fighter. I don't know where she's going to go in the level, but if she's fighting somebody like the diva, taking them on, you're probably cool with that.

[00:14:42]If Black Noir, probably fine because she fought Golden Boy, who was the Homelander of the Boys before he got there. Now, I don't know, Golden Boy's powers compared to the rest of these, you know, seven because we never got to see that. But Jordan can fight. So, she shows up, Marie shows up. The first thing, aren't you that, like I mentioned a little bit, aren't you that girl? Oh, I'm I'm overrated.

[00:15:03]She has been gone for a year.

[00:15:06]We can we get some level of training for Marie? This goes whole back to the Jinv thing. And if you never watched Genvy, the most important thing in Genevie was good coming back. The original scientist who helped create the V and part of those original experiments and creating soups and came in as this overpowered V1 godlike soup uh ability. And they killed him in the end of episode in the season finale, episode 8 of season two where basically he was trying to level up Marie. That was his whole goal. And to wipe him out and now have Marie come in still underwhelming. It just it it it feels like the biggest plot the like the ruining of season five of The Boys, I swear for me, started at the end of Jinv when they could have had different v another character, another big-time character have another opposition to Homelander. Like that's a true threat because he doesn't have any threats right now. Soulja Boy is, you know, it's whatever or I'll help him. The boys, they don't have any suits that can challenge him, including Marie. like the Dulkin would have been the guy, but you know, whatever. Moving on. Anyway, come to find out, I'm trying to figure out what basically O Father's been up to, which we know he's trying to convert people over, get them to believe. I'm I'm not happy with that story line, but it looks like O Father, who I thought may be up to something else, seems like he's fully on board with Homelander. He has a little bit of problem with with Homelander, just wiping people out. And you kind of see that. So, he will probably flip some point in episode 8, but that that is what he's up to. So, anyway, we we we got that going on.

[00:16:32]Starlight tells Marie, you know, you can't help us get out of here. Moving on uh from that. So, obviously the big thing here was Kimo going into this episode. We talked about it in um kind of the rumors that were going around.

[00:16:43]They were going to try to li level Kimo up and give her basically the level of power to take Homelanders B1 away.

[00:16:51]Basically working on that with Uranium.

[00:16:53]B the same thing they were doing in the experiments when they went to that um com I forgot the fort Harmony for Harmony. Basically the same thing there that they're exposing her to to uranium and trying to get enough radiation to kind of give her that power and doing it really quickly. Now Sage is not helping.

[00:17:08]This is a butcher and Frenchy thing cuz Sage is like we're cooked. It's over.

[00:17:12]I'm just going to labotize myself and watch Love Island which I will get to in a minute. But anyway, they're doing that. So they're just doing it on a whim trying to level Kimico up. They come to say like hey like we need to figure out what old father's doing. That's our plan. We're trying to go nab him. I do like Butcher's speech using Posh Spice.

[00:17:30]Basically saying like she wasn't the best spice. She was the most talented, but hey, she found a way to make it through, so we'll make it through. And they're all like, "Well, that kind of sucked as as an inspirational plan, but we'll go with it." But I thought that was a good moment.

[00:17:48]But so basically, they run to go nab. O father. Um during this moment, Frenchie has a moment with Sage where I said she's mentioned Love Island and he uses that as a as a way to get her to help him saying it's a little talk about love and basically Sage is like that kind of unpredict unpredictability is something I go against. Why? because of the stuff that happened with Gdulkan in the last season of Jinv and just him going crazy in episode which was just terrible writing as well but just him going crazy in episode and just the unpredictability like she said like Soulja Boy there's no way he should have turned and helped out Homelander but he did because of Clara which still makes no sense see our last video for that it still makes no sense that he did that but fine and she's acknowled at least she's acknowledging that in the show that made no sense and he kind of uses which also too just a mentioned. I'm I'm not a fan of reality TV and it's just funny that that Sage had to lobomize herself to watch that and enjoy it. It's just kind of funny.

[00:18:43]Kind of a shot maybe at those audiences, but I I thought it was pretty funny. But basically, Frenchie uses that to convince her like, "Hey, I love Kimiko.

[00:18:50]Help me out." And she says, "You know what? You're going to keep bothering me, so fine. Like, I'll help you out. All our lives are at stake anyway, and look, I I can figure it out and try to and try to help us get through this situation."

[00:19:00]So, we got that going on. While that's going on, the others obviously go to O Father's uh this basic TV studio. While all that is happening, of course, the boys walk in, they have psychics going all around. Now, there's been talks about the psychic project the Homelander has going on, which for the most stupid reason. It's basically just saying like, hey, like these people got to believe I'm God. If if they're not if they don't believe that and in about five minutes, kill them. And it's like that's not any way to convince. No one's gonna one oh just okay just bear with me one to get this homeland de democratic church of America going on is like fine that could be a plot point. No one is going to be convinced that this is this is hap like homelander is god in like two seconds. And I and I one thing I do like is they do give a good homelander Jesus commercial which I thought was absolutely hilarious. And it's funny cuz everybody thinks it's stupid. So, it's kind of funny, but I did enjoy that moment. But it's just they have this thing going on with the psychic people and no one's going to just be convinced like that. It's just like how are you going to scale this on a massive scale?

[00:20:10]Like what are you going to do to convince people because no one's just going to be convinced that fast? That whole plan makes no sense. But okay.

[00:20:17]Anyway, let me know in the comments.

[00:20:18]Maybe it does. Anyway, so obviously they go there. The psychic dude, um, what's his name? Um, god dang it. Uh uh the the psychic dude synops can read minds. Like he actually has a pretty cool power because he can transform and shape shift and all that as well.

[00:20:44]But he can read minds. So when Butcher and Huey get there, he clearly can read their mind to see they're up to other plans and and basically takes them down about two seconds because he can just make them like pass out by bringing them out. Like honestly, his power is pretty badass. Like I I do like that that part of the episode. But yeah, so they go down pretty quickly. Just leaving MM and Starlight on the other side to continue to figure out what's what's happening.

[00:21:07]Um now, while while that's going on, something I did miss that I did want to talk about is I thought it was pretty funny to be the episode of all the things Homelander wanted to ban like um nutmilk and abortions and all that. Just playing off of some of like the political views and things like that, which I thought was some pretty good jokes written there. So, I did forget to mention that. I didn't want to throw those in there because I thought that was a funny moment. But yeah, basically they get caught up really quickly. We get that commercial where Homelander and Ozie Starlight and them are like, "What?" And after that, we get moments where they they know that they're there.

[00:21:40]They have moments where they call Huie and say like, "Hey, Hueie, where you at?" "Well, I'm here." "Okay, well, we'll meet up with you in a minute." And that's Starlight trying to talk to Huie and obviously he's a psychic guy who can also do voices. And yeah, so the cat and the doll character, they go in there, the one from Teenage Kids, not the doll character that's been around. They go in to the room um where Starlight and MM are just looking around like the the cat character goes in there, I guess, to the masturbator, eat her, lick herself, all the whatever it's going on, all that.

[00:22:06]And both the characters go in there while MM and Starlight are up in the ceiling like hiding. And this is the thing, this is definitely a boys moment.

[00:22:15]They're walking around sniffing each other's asses. Like I like I get it.

[00:22:19]That is definitely an onbrand boys moment. Just walking out of episode seven of the end of the last season.

[00:22:27]That should not be one of my more memorable things. And it is. And I hate to say it like I thought other jokes in the in the episode was better. And I'm not critiquing it. I don't think it's terrible. Maybe go on a little too long, but not terrible. But I just don't want that as one of my more memorable things going on. So I I don't mean to complain about I don't think it's terrible, but I I did not like, you know, I don't think that should be one of my that just a bad writing on the episode's part. Anywh who, that going on, obviously, they get out of that cuz um they get distracted and they go back into the room to u ask the people poll and see who's actually believes Homelander there is is their true savior and God. I I think the the Starlight MM moment that we get in there is one of one of the best of the season.

[00:23:11]I like Laz Alonzo kills it in this role, but just kind of getting a backstory of where he got the name for Mother's Milk and really kind of his character coming full circle from the beginning of the season and this is he's probably had the best character transformation throughout the season. um just going from that very beginning to where he was had given up all hope and all that to like now where he's admitting yeah through the events that's happened I kind of forgot where I was and going back to the story of how I got Mother's Milk and the bad things that happened with Soulja Boy and my grandfather and the kids making fun of me because I had compassion for a bird that needed help and that's just been my inspiration to help people and that is why like I do what I do. Yeah, I'm this dangerous guy. Yeah, I kill people if I have to, but like I am actively trying to save people. And for Annie who was saying, well, these people believe Homelanders are God. Like why are we trying to save them? I thought that's a good speech to kind of get these people back on track. Like that right there is an episode 7 moment. Probably the best or one of the two best moments in the episode. But that's a great episode 7 moment. So I I do want to announce it.

[00:24:13]I'm trying to be fair here. I will announce it. Like that's a great moment.

[00:24:16]Also too, another thing we get like while that's going on is obviously the thing with with um Homeland I mean not Homelander with Huey and Butcher in the room and in the psych kind of mimicking the um what's it the character not the Joe Kesler character. So the Joe Kesler character, he's kind of mimicking him as as well and like going through his mind and you he uses that to figure out where Sage and Hu and Frenchie were, which I thought was pretty cool. But it just kind of gives you that back death into into Butcher's character a little bit and just kind of that warning for Huey that like Butcher cares about people, but he cares about his mission more. And if you get in his way, you're probably likely to get killed and he will sacrifice you. And I think that's a a good divisive moment. We've had moments where with with Butcher where it it felt like he slipped back and he's been a little more caring, but that's just who Butcher is. And I and I do like that.

[00:25:06]And it's kind of that episode with with Terror when we got the vantage point. I think that was five. Um yeah, where he's like, "Oh, well, you know, maybe I can give y'all got y'all some and try to, you know, help you out and hopefully protect you if we get the suit virus out and it kills all the suits. Maybe Starlight and, you know, Kimo will be okay." And it's like, we know the mission is up for him. So, I do like that moment because it's like, well, yeah, that that is who that character is. It's not at this point. It's impossible for him to change. That's just who he is. And I and I did like that moment a lot. Um, another great moment in this episode is the cameo of Samuel Jackson as the Deep has been depressed. I kind of skipped over that moment a little bit, but basically Homeland had cancelceled the seven. He's going with his full god thing and moving on with that. And then with the deep coming in and he's like the seven is all I got. He and he has he sacrificed everything for the seven. He obviously leaves disappointed, but he's been loyal. So Homelander doesn't kill him.

[00:25:55]And he goes back to the water and the shark like you about say old Jackson like oh yeah like hey man come in for a swim like just come hang out with me I I'll cheer you up and he's like no actually we know about that oil pipeline accident we know you I don't know how the fish know but we know you were proponent of that and went on a commercial to get it done and making sure it was all good and even though it's Black Noir's fault that the that the um oil rig got or the oil pipeline got a hole punched into it. They all blame the deep and hate him. So, I do think it's a good carry. That was a good moment. Also, another moment in the deep because I'll just wrap him up right now.

[00:26:29]So, where his character's going? He's trying to find other places to go and still do kind of a seven thing or be a hero somewhere. But a guy falls in the water and he's drowning and then they're like, "Oh, hey, there's the deep." Well, he'll see. The deep does not want to go in that water. So, maybe a little foreshadowing for his demise. Maybe the animals will get him in that water. I'm just hoping at this point that Deep does get somewhat of a a redemption moment.

[00:26:51]If that's saving Starlight, fighting Homelander, talking back to him, something like that. I I still have hope for that to come in the final episode.

[00:27:04]So, following all that stuff, obviously, we get um we get Starlight and MM going in there to save all the citizens who don't believe Homelander is a true god.

[00:27:13]And we get another fight scene. and again or got random before Starlight getting washed by the dog character.

[00:27:19]Basically, he beats her. If he wasn't distracted, he would have killed her just like everybody else would have killed Starlight because she can't fight for some reason and her powers just suck. She doesn't and and my thing is with these powers, she doesn't do anything with them. Like, we've seen her use her powers, the lights start changing, you know, things start glowing. Like, we're not getting it.

[00:27:40]Like, are they just saving all budget for episode eight? is like this like a threehour movie cinematic experience that they're about to roll out. Like it better be because we are so robbed on action in this show, but we get a we get a fight with her and the dog. We get Homelander versus the cat. Um MM I think does have some cool action moments in there. I I do like his and of course our life wins because MM distracts the dog by washing the um the catgirl from teenage kicks and of course like they beat them. So beat them, get them released. Um, obviously that obviously Butcher um the Huey has a good moment, good character moment too where he um he distracts the um what's his name? Uh I keep I keep forgetting this guy's name.

[00:28:23]Synops synops by um by distracting him and talking about his brother and the things that happened to him. And I think he knows this because he used to work when he was working with Newman. I I think he knows it because of that and and things that are going on with his brother. Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's why he knows that and kind of uses to distract him and Butcher gets loose um as he gets the soup out, he gets synops out of his head, he gets loose with his um with his tentacles and obviously he rips him in half. So do that. But by then they already know that they synopsis has relayed the information where Frenchie, Sage, and all them are before that tries to call Frenchie. It doesn't work. They set up an alert at the um they set up an alert obviously and they know Homelander's coming. Now, right before that that moment, we do get MM and Starlight dropping off the prisoners or not really prisoners, but the other citizens that they didn't kill um over there with whole father and all that. The whole convent is a god situation. And we get Marie and Jordan again who got about two minutes of screen time in this episode and basically saying, "Okay, my fault y'all. I could use your help." So, they're up now. That is that is a good thing. We want to see what they can do.

[00:29:28]I want I really want to see what Maria and Jordan can do now on the big stage.

[00:29:32]So, we will get that episode 8. This this feels like a episode two introduction, but fine. We're finally going to get the Jim characters. And then obviously the last moment.

[00:29:42]Obviously, Sage and Frenchie use this final test to get Kimmy Co. Do we know if it works? Nope. We're going to find out later. And it probably did because Frenchie had to sacrifice himself for it, too. But Homelander's coming. They only got three minutes. Frenchie says, "Hey, you guys get in there." Homelander can't see through zinc. So, I'll go distract him. They he puts Sage and Kimo in there, runs, goes into the uranium room, turns on the uranium, obviously talks some talk crazy to Homelander, basically killing himself with the uranium, and just that moment, I already referenced this, so I won't go through it again. It just feels like it could have been such a good moment. If he's choking Frenchie out, if he, you know, gives him some kind of gruesome death, rips his heart out, like whatever. Like I think a a homelander killing him on screen would have just been better for an emotional moment for that character that pretty much I don't I don't I've never seen anybody even in the comments I never seen anybody say I hate Frenchie. So just a character that we all seem to like. I just thought if he's going to go out it's a it's a better way to do it to get an emotional reaction from the audience. We don't even get that. And I get it. It's not gruesome.

[00:30:42]Frenchie goes out saying Kimo I love you and all this but it's like I'm I'm over here like like it's almost like how did he die? You know, it's like I know how he died, but it's just like he just bleeding and you know, uranium and I guess, but it's just in Homelander, he just gets up and leaves. Like, he's just like, well, I I I guess they're not here. Like, let me not make sure and check the thing I couldn't see through two minutes ago, but I won't check it and I'm just going to move on and, you know, I'm just going to fly him out of here because I hate this French guy. He talk crazy to me. I'm too mentally unstable to go check something I couldn't see through two minutes ago.

[00:31:18]Fine. Okay. Anyway, yeah. So, Frenchie and Kimo, they have their moment. Obviously, he dies, which sucks. I I do like that character. And obviously, this gives Kimmy Co something to fight for in the season finale and and also Healey and Butcher get back really fast and they get back and obviously it's too late. And we get Frenchie going, which man, I am sad about. I did like that character. I thought it was a good performance. Now, people are upset with the actor because recently he's coming out, but I I do like that character. I I think it's an okay send off. I thought they could have did it better. I'm not completely upset at it, but I'm just like, man, this it just like oh man, it just this feels lackluster and I don't I don't know.

[00:32:01]Maybe did his death feel lackluster to you? Cuz it did to me. I don't know why.

[00:32:05]But I'm going to wrap this up because I've been just ranting for about 30 minutes and I want to wrap this up.

[00:32:10]Look, got episodes or videos of the boys coming out. I I did we just did a recent video. There's still some stuff on that page, but yeah, basically everything that needs to happen before the season ends. We also did another video with character arcs that need to wrap up as the season goes on. We got one episode left, people. We're in the last episode of The Boys. We still I still have hope.

[00:32:27]I'm still hoping it's a big time episode and they wrap this on a good ending, but man, I I think this season has al has almost failed to this point. Like, while not being terrible, they haven't gotten any of the big events right. I think the small little writing like the boys jokes, little stuff that's in there, but it just feels like a season two level writing. Like it does not feel like the end of a season. And even now it's like it doesn't feel like Homelander got the V1. I just man I I just I just have had it. I mean, I'm hoping it goes Scorch Durf in episode 8. The hope is out there. My fingers are crossed for all of us, but I'm just hoping. And that that's really all I got there. So, I want to hear Scotty's thoughts. We haven't talked about the episode yet. So, I will get his thoughts and he'll he'll be back on here. He went a little a little vague cake.
