In Season Four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.

comic spoiler

From the fact the they got the virus, Neuman is going to win the presidency and the new black noir looks like they are going with an adaptation of the ending of the comics with homelanders coup and butcher trying to do genocide

I wonder what will they change the may make homelanders coup super january 6 which would be very funny

    I’m kinda with ya, I still watch the show but the more extreme stuff really grates on me. I used to feel frustrated, like I was being coddled, when things like that were only implied and not shown, but some of the shit that goes down in this show (and in Invincible, as someone who’s read the comic all the way through) is so grotesque it actually turns me away a little, makes me hesitate before queuing up an episode. Maybe I grew out of wanting to witness such things, I dunno.

      Cartoon violence doesnt really do it for me, except if they go way over the top like with Cyberpunk Edgerunners. My dudes would punch a cop car and blood would just squirt out like it’s a Ketchup Pork Piñata. In those cases I just get annoyed mostly.

      With real people though? Shit goes into my brain and refuses to leave. Just reading about The Boys and I see the first scene of season 1 quite clearly in my mind. The one where that dude ran through the woman kombucha-disgust
