Drink a shot every time a head gets mangled, crushed or blown up on The Boys

[zach]

Damn the Gen V recap really had me getting all emotional RIP Chance Perdomo

[victorjozek]

Great recap ! I would also add that Butcher sees Hughie as his long lost brother, that Newman has the same blood powers as Marie, and that Homelander's murder of an entire C37 plane is still hidden from the public.

[simplicit]

Did not realize they recast Ryan til this video 🤣

[joshuagordon]

You kinda skipped some important context, such as Kate and Andre hooking up before Luke's death, Kate using her power to take Sam's regret and remorse away, making him more violent and dangerous, Soldier Boy was also emotionally and verbally abused by his father and the reason he didnt accept Homelander and called him a disappointment was not because of ego, but because he saw Homelander as a reflection of himself. Also, Homelander wasn't crazy the entire show...vain, and a liar, yes, but he became more and more psychotic as it went on, in the first season he was quite rational--he even figured out what happened to Tranlucent--but lazy and apathetic. He also saw Black Noir as one of his only true friends, and his death actually affected Homelander.

Great recap though!

Before watching this, I had completely forgotten that Gen V exists and had been trying to mix its plot with The Boys. Thanks for the recap

[pervysage]

Can't really say black noir has regeneration, if he did have that, he would've been talking

[getdachoppa]

This, this is the recap format I've been looking for. No talking dogs or sock puppets, where nothings "poppin'". Subscribed.

[whatdidyousay]

r.i.p to the metal control guy, great actor

[jc]

Thank you so much for your amazing recap. I wasn’t trying to watch 5 more episodes of gen v today and wait until tomorrow for the boys

[Blujay]

Thanks a bunch for making this video, it's been a hot minute since I've watched The Boys and I needed a recap before I watch season 4

[MShaiqable]

Amazing recap! Thanks!! I was so lost watching the first ep of s4

[DesiS]

I start this today. Needed this quick brush up. This is 1 of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Funny, bloody, exciting etc. 4am so got a few hours to wait.

[evansonhakeem]

Finally something new and fresh from the stereotypical drivel being jammed down our throats for the past couple of years. None of the clichés either. Dark, gory hilarious, ethically mind bending. Like how far would you twist justice to serve your needs, what price would you be willing to pay for revenge is it worth losing your humanity? . A definite must watch epically if you enjoyed titles like Titans.

[RudeXII]

I really do want to know what they're going to do about Andre now that his actor is dead

[martialartist]

Can't wait to watch the 3 episodes that will release on the first day.

[slushpupppy]

good recap way better than the 5 min one I just watched lol.

[jackmason]

Thank you for a quick yet detailed recap!! Love it!

[Subo]

They blew it with the Soldier Boy storyline last season…should have brought him back

[SamHuerta]

This was a very good recap. I’m now ready to watch s4 of the boys!
