We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here

Quite frankly, the strongest episode of this season. Could have been more crisp with the writing. The whole thing with Butcher is a bit more concerning as it is badly written. The Boys aren't doing any better from last season. I wish the plot develops more. It's quite hard to keep watching this season as it's just doing nothing to satisfy the initial seasons. The frenchie plot seems to be abruptly cut - the butcher plot is good, convincing - I wish soldier boy comes back, he was entertaining. I don't know how it did. The writing has dipped way more than the expectations. I am being way generous with the ratings, but, writing team. Please get it better. We need more of The Boys.

I felt there was barely any progress to the story in these 3 episodes , must say im rather dissapointed after waiting for so long. Sure there are a couple of new interesting characters such as sister sage , will be interesting to see her development with Homalander. I cant help but to root for Homelander at this point , he is by far the most interesting character, Huey and his friends are just kind of annyoing and boring, especially MM I dont understand how he gets so much screentime like what the actual F?? And what in the world happened to Starlights face? Its unnerving to look at her now. Hoping for some better storytelling in the upcoming episodes , cause these ones felt like nothing but filler episodes. And can we ditch the Ryan/Homelander drama? Its so obvious where its leading , its a book ive read a 1000 times over now and its getting old , he goes from loving his dad and then to hate im in the next episode , just pick a team and stick with it.

The creators of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" made a bold and wise decision: they limited the series to three seasons. This allowed the story to reach a natural and satisfying conclusion, maintaining its momentum and keeping viewers engaged throughout its run.

This approach would have benefited "The Boys". What started as a gripping narrative has devolved into a series of relationship dramas and gratuitous gore, straying far from its original storyline. The show has lost its way, and the plot now seems to be merely an afterthought.

Many series could benefit from the "Avatar" model, focusing on concise, powerful storytelling rather than dragging on until the narrative becomes stale and the audience loses interest.

But hey, what do I know?

Season 4 seems to be leaning heavily into filler content with boring 'character development' taking in the form of Frenchie and Kimiko. He's never been a character that has been written well for and he's the weakest element in the show, him and Kimiko.

Besides that, the Boys make for a triumphant return even if it gets fairly heavy in it's own political satire that has the risk of ruining the illusion when it mirrors our own world so closely.

The show has the risk of going around in circles without actually pushing the narrative forward, hopefully that won't happen.

Butcher, for me, remains the most important element of The Boys and always has, and I really do hope his screentime isn't reduced any further than it already has.

This show should've ended a long time ago. Each character is a shell of its former self, mindlessly dragging along with no clear direction. The thin plot mirrors the writers desperation as they try to string along the weakest motives inserting any current day agenda they can to stay relevant, compensating for the lack of purpose of the characters, depriving them of any charm they once had.

Temp V was the last gimmick they clinged on to keep the story interesting. This season they have nothing, instead relying on cheap shock value scenes and pitiful rage bating storylines to keep audiences engaged.
