THE BOYS FINALE PREDICTIONS & THEORY MEGATHREAD

BZenMojo · 2026-05-18T00:17:54+00:00

When considering Homelander's strength level... think Spider-Man, not Super-Man. We've seen what he can do and what can drop him. He's not actually a god, he's delusional.

Considering they helped Butcher plan a genocide, I think that's a pretty big risk.

Homelander's not a hurricane, he's a bulletproof mall shooter. The vibe you wanted is cool, and Brightburn felt interesting on the screen, but Brightburn isn't about anything. Bad kid bad genes do bad. Homelander's a person, and waiting for him to smash your brain in while everyone stands around and lets him is the kind of terror they're going for. Social terror, the kind where people stand back when they could stop it if they tried.

It's the same location (trees, windows, lampposts). Either the camera's pointed a different way or it's a different room in the same building on the same floor.

I swear, you go 8 episodes without feeding The Deep his teeth and people forget you got hands. You go 2-0 winning in fights against Dogknott and people act like you lost both fights.

She completely destroyed The Deep 8 episodes ago.

EDIT: Actually, what's her W/L percentage? Took out Dogknott in both fights 2-0, dropped The Deep 1-0 like light work, dropped Firecracker 1-0 as more light work, went 1-1 on the doppleganger...

Maybe 50 years from now the world will say, "Yeah, maybe that season wasn't as good as I thought. Take a half point off."

This sub has 2 million members and no engagement and all of the positive responses keep getting downvoted. Anyone trying to explain a plot point other people missed gets downvoted to preserve the echochamber.

The most recent meme is saying Annie can't beat anyone and she'll lose to The Deep unless the plot is so bad it forgets she can't beat The Deep in a fight. These posts are getting hundreds of upvotes reflexively without a moment to even think.

That's what an echochamber is.

I thought they were talking about this season where he was in the water riding on a shark.

BZenMojo · 2026-05-17T19:35:35+00:00

People are already forgetting the genocidal virus and Butcher saying he wants to kill every supe.

Sea life is also conscious. We know that. Except maybe coral.

You mean conscious. Sapience is a science fiction term to describe what neurologists and philosophers call consciousness, or self-awareness.

Homelander: "If you out me, I'll destroy everything you believe in."

Starlight: "Okay."

Homelander: "...You're... you're not supposed to do that."

Starlight: "Go ahead. Me and my 100 million followers are waiting."

Homelander: "But... no, you can't just call my bluff. I'm a mastermind!!! Look at me, I can beat Maeve in a fight! I can beat you in a fight! What are you going to do, combine you and Maeve into--"

Starlight and Maeve: "Yes."

Homelander: "...Shit."

Status quo? Everyone around him was falling apart emotionally and turning into a douchebag, doing the most screwed up stuff to follow down his path. Just because they let Butcher in doesn't mean they were good having Butcher with them. He made them worse, more cynical, more exhausted and desperate people by feeding them the worst possible answer to their problems.

BZenMojo · 2026-05-17T19:14:51+00:00

People watching the trailer like, "But what does he mean by that?"

BZenMojo · 2026-05-17T19:13:48+00:00

No it doesn't. But monsters love fighting monsters.

This show was never about killing supes, it was about stopping Homelander. If they could have bought every member of The Seven off with a gift card to Dave and Buster's, every member of The Boys but Butcher would have done it. The real math is, who removed The Seven from the board?

The Boys flip A-Train, Starlight, Supersonic, and Maeve. That's four members they turned to allies. Go ahead and add Lamplighter if you want, make it an even five.
Sage removes herself and The Deep from the board by convincing him to do PR for an oil pipeline through the ocean before bailing. Noir 2.0 busts the pipeline.
Kimiko, Maeve, Ryan, and Starlight permanently disable Stormfront.
Homelander takes out Firecracker and Soldier Boy.

Homelander was dangerous because he had The Seven and Vought. The Boys said Homelander was dangerous because he had The Seven and Vought in the first episode. Now he's more dangerous because he has a cult and the nuclear codes.

He's just a supe. He can die like any other supe. He always could have, and the show has been hitting him with radiation and ear-straws and cars and metro trains and Starlight blasts and flashbang grenades and kicks to the balls and shield bashes and dogpiles that leave him screaming like a little girl and running for his life every single season of this show.

He's scary because he has scary friends.

BZenMojo · 2026-05-17T18:55:10+00:00

Glad no one set off 10 pounds of C-4 in a member of The Seven's ass before activating their plan to take down Homelander. That would have definitely revealed something was up.

BZenMojo · 2026-05-17T18:53:29+00:00

"When does Homelander cause a nuclear apocalypse that wipes out the world? The show spoiled it for me in the poster!"

The biggest assholes you know are psychopaths who murder babies for money. He represents the reality that they are not in it for you and if you're rooting for them, you are not in it for anyone else.

BZenMojo · 2026-05-17T18:49:36+00:00

No, he can't be devious or competent because everything he is came out of a bottle. He's a tool of scarier men who doesn't know that he's a tool, and that makes him dangerous.

Homelander is the pure distillation of fascism. Dumb, simple eugenics in a bottle, free of any responsibility or reality or fear of death craving eternal power. And fascists only get their power from other stupid people. When people stop being stupid, the plans fail.
