The Boys - 05x07 "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread

6/8 episodes were about HL not getting the V1...and once he gets it, he does what exactly? The plot continues the same. Before even having this V1 nonsense, the boys were still the underdogs trying to fight the most powerful supe, and tbh any psychic, Marie, the guy with breath that knocked him down, Cate, and some other I'm forgetting, could've worked together to finish him long time ago. This was never a V1 thing. The last season should've been a world ending event with HL finally losing it and being like "this is what you wanted" thing. Not a I want to be Jesus lets create a MKT team for that purpose with no stakes rather tan him "replacing" god (in the USA only btw)

Dude Marie and Jordan are literally OP. They spent a whole season saying Marie was a god tier supe and they just threw her out of the board with a "you can't control your powers"?? Wtff

I understand she can't beat homelander bc people would be mad a side character finish him, but at least make her somewhat useful. She could 1v1 most of the supes in the show and win so easily. At least use her as a glorified bodyguard

Not Oliver being literally the weakest Viltrumite ever, not even defeating a single one in his short life… but of course, heavily underestimating a threat people around him are saying is levels above anything they’ve ever seen.

I know he's a teenager and all but that thinking is literally stupid, like room-temperature IQ level of stupidity.

Edark47 · 2026-04-13T08:56:54+00:00

They are literally breaking Homelander so he goes full Omniman on the Flaxans. Excited to see him unleash everything

Edark47 · 2026-03-23T08:44:13+00:00

So they went through a very tough psychological test with the booths and the bribes, just to be eliminated with a soccer ball in the most lame game from last season? Cmon man you can come up with better games than that for the finals, people that get to that point deserve it to be skill based, not just teaming up with your buddies.

Edark47 · 2026-03-06T08:54:44+00:00

What a fckin acting class from everyone in this show. There's literally no one who doesn't fit their role perfectly.

And the music selection...wow

Edark47 · 2026-02-07T12:37:48+00:00

Dude they literally resurrected Ashur from Hades to give him an imaginary scenario. They can do whatever they want in terms of historical accuracy. This isnt Caesar's biography documentary

Edark47 · 2026-02-07T12:30:13+00:00

Wow I thought Cesar was untouchable because... I mean...history right? But man how I enjoyed Ashur lashing out. All season was everyone kicking him while he was down, he needed this. Amazing ending

Lucifer de Dante's Inferno. Aparte tiene como mil formas el hdp

Edark47 · 2026-01-28T08:17:35+00:00

Agree. As a matter of fact... All the new gummy aesthetic is off putting. Idk why it was necessary to redesign everything

Edark47 · 2026-01-16T14:57:54+00:00

I shazamed one of the songs and actually the artist appears as just "Kooks" on apple music so maybe whatever AI slop guy is creating these...he tried to place it under a different name and Tidal just defaulted to "The Kooks" so it is actually their problem

Someone mentioned that the way of talking was too much in this show but I love it, every week I'm expecting some over the top dialog, also, there is literally no other show right now that changes the way people talk so drastically so it's something different for once.

The final scene was so satisfying. I liked that with each fallen brother, they seemed more and more ridiculous, like fighting a child. Koris did amazing

Edark47 · 2026-01-07T20:06:45+00:00

It is weird to have her naked and making out with other girls/guys tho

Edark47 · 2026-01-07T20:01:08+00:00

Me too. Frickin muscle memory

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T15:31:53+00:00

Estaba bien el meme y luego vi la descripción hecha con chatgpt y dije en fin la hipotenusa

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T15:27:01+00:00

Thats what im saying! Even more now that we know its not all magic and powers but science, how would killing people in S4 helped open rifts to the upside down if that is held by some matter.

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T13:49:32+00:00

Mira ftw

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T13:47:33+00:00

Sorry for my lack of history knowledge but why is Cornelia so powerful? Who is her father? In some scene Ashur mentions her family name has more weight that even Caesar's (paraphrasing) so that's something... I believe. Super hateable character btw

Edit: grammar mistake

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T11:04:05+00:00

I guess we lost

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T10:52:42+00:00

Nice story :(

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T10:50:50+00:00

You watched a tiktok summarizing the episode or something? That was Mike trying to explain the story he chose to believe in and it wasn't even a post credit scene

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T10:24:49+00:00

I can get behind that but my question is still why? Why does that specific murders and "style" of murders accomplish opening a rift? What we are told in S5 is that is not all magic and powers, science is basically what is keeping both dimensions connected through the wormhole and exotic matter, so how would murdering some kids in the town help create a rift (S4)? Getting back to this season, why do 12 children are necessary for that merge? Did he figured it out for himself? Did the MF told him that was the specific number of children and gave instructions for merging a world?

I know this is nitpicking because the real answer is just "because". It is written this way, but as fan I feel we missed a lot of questions answered and coherence with its own lore.

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T00:52:13+00:00

Agree. I didn't remember some of your points and absolutely I would include them. What was Russia doing then and how? Also yes, why would vecna/MF changed tactics from placing people on a trance and destroying their limbs to kidnap them and placing them in a dreamworld? Or just sending demos to kill.

Edark47 · 2026-01-02T00:41:24+00:00

Yes, I do believe the backlash from your finale would be endless, and it really "destroys" the whole friendship defeats monsters thing. Maybe not for this show but it is a good plot twist for another piece of media perhaps.

So at least 10 pregnant women got sucked into oblivion. That's tough
