My guess is it just comes down to a battle between Homelander vs Ryan and BB. With both BB and Homelander dying. We don't see Solider Boy out of the tube. Instead of Homelander's clone killing him, it is his son. Ryan maybe even shows up dressed as Black Noir with a zinc mask.

Not sure how they're going to wrap up everything in the final episode. Feels like it's giving off Game of Thrones ending vibes.

The last episode was 70 minutes long and the only plot that moved forward was killing Frenchy. If Kimiko magically has Soldier Boy's power and takes down Homelander in the final episode after the mere idea of that being a possibility was introduced in the second-to-last episode, it might well challenge Game of Thrones for worst finale of a huge show in the 21st century.

What has really nagged me lately is the ridiculous simplicity of a couple of fights. The Deep kills Noir in like10 seconds. Noir is strong and can fly and goes out just like that. Same with Homelander getting the drop on Soldier Boy in the last episode. SB is unconscious in like 8 seconds. Definitely feels like they're constantly changing power levels for convenience.

That wasn't the original Noir. The original Noir was killed by HL.

Btw, if you're watching this and not watching Invincible, you're missing the best superhero show out there. Fantastic cast and great story

It was great until Mark goes off to save the universe and his gf aborts their baby and somehow the show heaps all the guilt on his shoulders for some reason.

Yeah, Invincible is nothing but just emo-Mark now. I thought it was bad when he was dating Amber in the early seasons, but this whole season with Mark and his ****ing emotions was just a beating.

Eric Kripke on why they’re not doing a ‘super-sized’ finale for ‘The Boys’

“I think the audience might have ended up getting bored had we gone that long”

Finale runtime is 1 hour and 5 minutes

I got news for Kripke, this whole season has been boring.

The original Noir couldn't fly. This one definitely can. This is a fight scene from Season 4 where it's already Noir 2.

Synapse's shirt was awesome. Would make a great white elephant gift, or maybe something you make a groom wear during his bachelor party.

I bashed a lot the last 24 hours, but I did like the Jesus/Homelander commercial. I think they intentionally made the crown of thorns look intentionally awkward on Homie's head.
