Where to Take The Boys Season 4

The Boys just wrapped up season 3 with a controversial finale, so where does it go from here? In this video I go over everything from Homelander and Solider Boy to Starlight and Stan Edgar.

What character do you want to see more of in season 4?

Depowered homelander having to pretend like he's still god would be amazing. Ryan losing respect for him and possibly hurting him would also be great. Also with marvel studios clearly moving towards a young avengers lineup, I think it would be great for the boys to tackle how fucked up it is to actually have a bunch of 12 year olds fighting crime

All I know is I want more Soldier Boy. That cannot be the last we see of him.

They will probably cover how Ryan will react to Homelander’s position as his father figure now. You can expect some possible growth from Ryan after he makes his own mind on his father. The Boys will also try to stop Victoria Newman from winning the election and becoming the Vice President.

Excited to see what they do. May be the first show that is definitively better than the comic.

You are right about Ackles being a great addition. He was my favorite this season.

[andrewrogers]

Black Noir deserves to have his rematch against Soldier Boy, they can’t let that setup die.

S3 rly amped up the show’s intensity. I can’t imagine what’ll happen in s4, but I hope it can live up to that hype

[Barkugou]

I'm hoping for Ryan becoming the new Soldier Boy only based on the reference to how soldier boy in the comics shouts out the names of the states when fighting

And Ryan does the same when he's stressed

I think it was a mistake to put Soldier Boy back in the box. Made the whole season feel pointless as we ended up back where we started with minor tweaks. At least leaving Soldier Boy out and about adds some intrigue to the show in how he would be utilized again. He added such an interesting and fresh dynamic.

Plus it’s always great to see Jensen Ackles. Dean was my favorite Supernatural character.

I know season 5 will be the final season because Kripke already confirmed he will only do five seasons. And Jensen Ackles will be returning for season 4.

I think for season 4 you get a fun parody of Ryan being the “Super Boy” stand in. Also, with homelander being de powered or maybe weakened due a new form of V, you could have a cool” death of Superman” inspired scene with maybe a Compound V enabled Butcher who is trying to end things before his time is up.

[DIGITALBREAD_]

my biggest problem with season 3 (and i guess the whole show) is how quickly it’s brushed over when becca died. like the whole show was built off of butcher trying to find his wife, he finally gets her back then she dies. AND IT DOESNT SEEM TO BE ADDRESSED AGAIN? no showing butcher/ryan’s grief it’s just forgotten about other than him mentioning the “promise”

I've noticed a pattern in the Boys that I think might continue:

TL;DR: I think they're going to introduce a character called Tek-Knight and he's going to draw a lot of focus

In season one we got The Seven who are a parody of the Justice League
In season two we got stormfront who in the comics is meant to be a play on Thor, they are also the leader of Payback in the Comics, and in turn Payback is based of of the Avengers.
In season three we got Soldier Boy an obvious play on Captain America and the leader of the show's version of Payback.

But there's one character missing from the comic version of Payback: Tek-Knight who in the comics is a play on both Iron-Man and Batman, being a billionaire who "builds" (it's made by Vought scientists) a suit to stand on the same level as the Supes

Now think about it, he was seemingly purposely left out of season three, with Black Noir out of the picture the Seven need a Batman figure to fill the vacant spot, and the show seems to place emphasis parody of a main member of "Marvel's Big Three" those being Thor, Captain America and Iron-Man every subsequent season, so it makes sense for season four they would go with Tek-Knight.

Also, This doesn't really add to my point but imagine what the writers could do with a more realistic take on the "Benevolent Billionaire" superhero trope, it could be both funny and poignant.

What I'm honestly most looking forward too is finally seeing how Homelander performs as a father figure now that he has "full custody" of Ryan. I'm thinking Ryan turns out like the kid from the movie Brightburn but maybe I'm wrong. In his own sick and twisted way I think Homelander wants to give Ryan the childhood he never had and while that might include murder I think that's kind of sweet in a way.

If queen Maeve survived the blast from Soldier boy + the fall + the beating from Homelander, then Soldier boy 100% survived the fall

[simonjonwatson]

Personally I was hoping they would be able to keep Soilder Boy on ice for a season and bring him back in season 5 or 6. However Butcher being given limited life span might mean things have to move forward a lot faster.

[fransesco]

Would be cool to see you make a video about the final season of Better Call Saul when it ends. The season has been amazing so far and the show as a whole as well

[MrTJPAS]

I can see a depowered Homelander plotline going in such a way that most of the rest of the world isn't aware that he is without powers, but he still has to get people (mainly Vought, A-Train and the Deep) to do what he wants. Thus, he uses the (now empty) threat of killing them to keep them in line and plays off their fear of him to get what he wants without even needing to flash his laser eyes.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised by S4 having Homelander getting his most loyal followers to use Temp V and commit acts of violence on his behalf. It would be a challenge the Boys could fight and provide some good action, and it could also be reminiscent of Homelander's supe uprising in the comics.

I really want next season to be home lander losing his power from soldier boy and being imprisoned for his crimes then the season after would be him in prison being tortured mentally by billy butcher and Stan Edgar visiting him
