I loved the fight between Maeve and Homelander. She made him bleed, and didn’t get killed, so I’d call that a win.
I was sad to see Black Noir die. I was really starting to like him.
Going forward, I honestly don’t see how The Boys can win. No more super powers, since V24 kills. And of the three most powerful supes, two are against them, and the third has been put in containment again (and would probably be against them anyway). Unless they can get Ryan to ultimately turn against his father, I don’t see how they can win.
So, Head Popper is VP now (or will be). That’s yet another extremely powerful supe against them, and this one will be able to sick the US government on them. Hell, by then she might be President. Unless Homelander kills her.
Either way, I’m not sure I’ll be watching when the show starts up again. The story just seems to be dragging now, with no obvious way for the “good guys” to win. At least, not one that wouldn’t probably be ludicrous. Between that, and the usual Hollywood bias on steriods, I’m just not sure I’d enjoy it much anymore.
