The Review: The Boys Season 5

The Boys Season 5 (1/10)

Spoilers I guess. I have been trying to figure out how to do a review for this last season of The Boys for over a week now. I kind of forgot the new season was starting and was able to watch half the season in one day and had no feelings towards it. This started as a parody of many superhero movies/TV shows and ended up becoming a parody of itself. I enjoyed the previous ones so much but felt that it couldn't continue for much longer. The break in between seasons along with that terrible series Gen-V did not help. I watched this and saw people I had seen for years feel as if they were pretending to be those characters again and it felt just flat to me. People died and I felt nothing. Others survived and felt nothing. This was just a bland ass time for me. Even deaths I had waited years for didn't make me cheer or anything. I just went “Okay.” For those that wanna know who died here they are. Homelander (killed by Butcher after being depowered by Kimiko who has Soldier Boy's abilities), Butcher (shot by Hughie after being depowered by Kimiko and planning to still kill all supes), A-Train (killed by Homelander), The Deep (killed by sea life), Black Noir 2 (killed by The Deep), Frenchie (killed by uranium and Homelander), and Firecracker (killed by Homelander).

The Review: The Boys Season 4

The Boys Season 4 (9/10)

Full of all the spoilers. I enjoyed the hell out of this season. The only reason I did not give it a 10/10 is because there were a few deux ex machina type situations that happened where I went “Okay, that was weird.” Still, shocked that four seasons in I was still looking forward to watching this each week so much.

The Boys Season 3 (10/10)

Holy shit this show is good! This gonna be full of spoilers. I need to figure out how the hell I am even gonna write about this because there are a lot of people and a lot of things happening. Maybe I will just go character by character and try to tie all of their stories together and see how it goes. This is gonna be a mess. This season was the most violent, funniest, most somehow emotional, and best acted season so far. First season was good. Second was great. This was incredible!

The Review: The Boys S2E7

 

"Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker"

Another crazy ass episode with a lot of stuff happening. I would have been screwed if I tried to cover this whole season with one post when it finished. This starts with a guy that worships the Supes. He wakes up, goes on walks, watches TV, and he is just filled with nothing but propaganda about how it is up to people to stop super terrorists. One day at the store he sees a guy and thinks he saw light in his eyes. He builds up the courage and pulls a gun on the guy asking if he is a super terrorist and if he is bullet proof. He shoots the guy in the face killing him. Meanwhile Homelander and Stormfront are at a rally saying they need more Supes to fight for America. Stormfront sees her grand-daughter and gets a sad face. Homelander is like “Lemme show ya somethin'!” I was like “Aw, fuck.” They end up heading to Becca's place where he introduces Stormfront as his new girlfriend and he wants her to be friends with his son Ryan. Becca knows that this can not end well in any way.

The Review: The Boys S2E6

 

"The Bloody Doors Off"

This episode was full of so much information and gives some backstory to characters we have heard of and ones we thought we knew. I need to mention that this episode jumps back and forth with time so trying to write this in order ain't gonna happen. Frenchie is shown with his old crew eight years ago doing drugs. He is dating a guy and the lady we've met before. He gets caught by Mallory because he is good at stealing and mixing chemicals that are effective even against Supes. She says she will stop him and his friends from going to prison if he helps. He is skeptical but the shit works. She, Mother's Milk, and Butcher blackmail Lamplighter after making fun of his ass. Apparently he looks good in lace. Frenchie is told to tail Lamplighter on the night that he murdered Mallory's children.

"Nothing Like It in the World"

This episode had a lot going on! The Deep is being set up by his church cult to get a new bride. The episode has cuts of different women speaking and you're not sure what it is about until it is revealed that Deep is supposed to choose one. He wants the nasty one but that is not what his ass is gonna get. Frenchie is snorting coke and goes to console Kimiko and tries to kiss her. She shoves his ass away and leaves. He dumb. He shouldn't have done that. Homelander confronts Starlight over not killing Hughie when he told her to and uses his lie detecting ability while jamming his hand into her ribs. He lets her live. For now. 

Grace gives Billy an old ad with this hero Liberty we keep seeing hints of and he sends Mother's Milk and Hughie to go see what's up. She also gives Billy the location of where Becca is because she just straight up feels bad for him now. Billy finds Becca and they set up a secret meeting and start boning down and smoking. He wants her to run away with him but she is reluctant having a kid and all. It is Homelander's kid but still. It's hers. I don't know. I ain't a parent. 

The Review: The Boys S2E3

"Over The Hill With The Swords Of A Thousand Men"

Homelander is scary. I have discovered that nothing is scarier than Homelander being at your kitchen table with no intention of leaving. This bastard is pretending that he knows how to be people and hanging out at Becca's place and trying to be a family. She wants absolutely none of it. He brings his son Ryan onto the roof and tells him to jump. Ryan is like “I can't fly, dad” and Homelander is like “Aw, you called me dad.” Then he shoves him off the roof. Becca rushes out and it turns out Ryan is fine. Homelander says of course because he is his son. Becca goes off on Homelander and he grabs her wrist. Ryna shoves him to the ground and his eyes laser up! Becca takes him inside and Homelander's weird ass if all proud.

The Review: The Boys S2E2

"Proper Preparation and Planning"

I have completed the first three episodes of The Boys that have been released and am so damned happy they didn't put them all out at once since I am re-watching season one with CK and letting her know when not to look at the screen. This show graphic as fuck but I still want her to be able to enjoy it because the acting, story, and style of the show is incredible. Butcher heads to Raynor's funeral (she got her head blown up) and meets with Grace. She is the lady that recruited him and sent him after Homelander and told him what happened to Becca his wife. She tells Butcher that if he can bring in the loose super terrorist that she can tell him where Becca is. He tries to recall where he was when he saw her at the house with a kid and can't recall much.

The Review: The Boys S2E1

"The Big Ride"

Last night I watched the first episode of the new season of The Boys. They released three of them but I am not trying to plow through since there are so many other good shows to watch right now and I am rationing shit out. I loved the first season of this and was way to excited when I found out the second would be coming out so soon. This picks up right after the previous season which I liked because I was dreading a massive flash forward. It begins with Black Noir in the middle east going after that super powered terrorist that can blow himself up but not die. It is one of the most gruesome ass scenes but I was here for it. People get throats cut, faces pulled apart, just everything. It was also more of him fighting than last season combined. He takes the guys head with him and plays with a bunny with a child. Its weird.

10 Reasons Why You Should Have Watched The Boys

The Boys 9/10

This will be full of spoilers. Last weekend I watched the new Amazon series The Boys. I have read some of the comic book it is based off of but did not remember enough about it to sit and watch this show and complain about what was changed and what did not happen in the comics. I was planning on writing a The Review about this but did not wanna sit here and do a recap. Instead I am gonna list the 10 Reasons Why You Should Have Watched The Boys. The only reason why I didn't give this a 10/10 is because towards the end of the series things started to lag a tiny bit and since I binged this it felt longer than it actually was.

This is about a group of people that want to take the superheroes of the world down because for the most part they ain't shit. Publicly they are amazing. They save people, avert disasters, make movies, and sponsor great causes. Privately they do drugs, rape folks, and cause hundreds of people to die for PR. As the series progresses it is clear that there are no actual good guys in this world. Just people who have better than others reasons to be assholes or not and victims. This show has a fish man committing sexual assault, a tiny man diving into a lady's vajayjay, a very religious hero that is all the way gay but sponsors pray the gay away programs, and a beloved hero that is jealous of a baby and the attention it gets. Its fucked up and brilliant.
