Season Four Finale

Season 4 of The Boys was clearly a set up season for Season 5. It lacked a clear central narrative and sometimes felt like a bunch of unconnected things happening. Fortunately, all of those individual plots and character arch's came together in episode 8 for an incredible finale. From start to finish, this episode is incredibly exciting. It is genuinely one of the best episodes of this show so far (second to maybe Herogasm) and it really cleverly sneaks in reveals that will change the whole dynamic the final season. Mainly, it injects some much needed momentum back into the show and I couldn't be more excited to see how season 5 plays out.

I actually need more, it makes you want season 5 right now. What Herogasm does great, this episode actually do it a lot better, every character have time to shine, the way it drive your brain insane because of the plot twists, how it makes you think that something is going to happen for something totally different to actually happen is so crazy, the fact that theres always something happening. Just an episode full with just The Boys and Eric Kripke's magic.

It makes you think about a lot after watching the episode, whats going to happen next type stuff. Really brings up the hype for season 5, can't wait for it.

To be completely honest, this entire season could've been 3 episodes long and shown off everything that we need to know for the next & final season of The Boys.

Despite this, compared to almost EVERY other episode in this season, this one delivers on SO much more than any other so far.

Spoiler Free Complaint: As usual, though, Ryan is still a little poorly written/directed, many of his scenes could've been more smoothly written or acted out as to not have it seem like he's jumping the gun INSTANTLY in every single situation. It does make sense for his character thus far, though, so it's likely that this was intentional. Doesn't make it any less annoying to watch through.

Honestly, not much else to say after that. It's a great finale and a perfect setup for the final season, can't wait to see how all these characters are sent off in the final season!!!!

They Changed the name of the episode from "Assassination Run" (because of the Trump incident) to just Season 4 Finale though I hope they'll changed it into a thematic-one.

Kind of an Epic Conclusion despite me having minor issues. (Starlight v Shifter, unsatisfied) Wish there were some A-Train scenes. Direction and writing-wise, top notch. Pacing felt very cinematic too. Music choices towards the end were really good. Kripke directed this well. Butcher's last scene was justified because of how the events at Grace's went and if they're gonna go with the comic (I haven't read the comic but I know about all the important stuff), I'll be very pleased.

Tbh, after this episode, it feels like that's the only way this is gonna go now. The ending was beautiful. I'm trying to avoid setting the spoiler tag (because I want this to be read plainly), which is why I'm not spoiling anything. Anyways, great finale though lacked what I expected. It was more of a Character-focused finale rather than an action-packed and for that, they deserve praise. Looking forward to the Final. 9/10.

Not going to spoil anything, but that episode was insane. It perfectly tied all the pieces together nicely for season 5. The characters all had their perfect arks! I'm both surprised at who died and at who managed to survive! I literally couldn't take my eyes off, this episode was like a race car and the last 10 minutes will blow your mind!! Also Sage!!! I mean come on, she was awesome! The music, editing, writing, intrigue, everything was perfect down to the last minute detail! I enjoyed this season, even though some people disliked it, but the last three episodes were quite good in my opinion and really brought the show back!

On a cliffhanger like that I hope season 5 will be here by fall 2025 or something like that, because I don't know how long I'll be able to wait.
