The Boys, final season (2026, shorunner Eric Kripke)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv0leN8TmR8
It’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It’s the climax, people.

Although the show lost its initial shine it was still entertaining and I will watch it especially since I believe its going to wrap up both the boys and the gen v storylines.
I completely agree. The show peaked at season 1, when it was an underdog story of “normal people” VS “powered people” (sponsored by big Corp).
After “the Boys” started to get juiced up, the series de-evolved into tired trope of “if you can’t beat ‘em join’ em” sup VS sup.
Of course, it didn’t stop me from watching all the episodes and Gen V. … But I’m really looking forward to having this ride finally end.
It’s funny that in the original show they are juiced up and stronger than most of the supes on day one. MM is actually a supe on his own right. His original beef was that his mother was contaminated with V so his brother died when his powers appeared.
Vought estimated that if they were you fight, they boys would lose by a small margin, with heavy casualties in the 7 with only Homelander, queen and maybe noir surviving, so they have a “truce” of not direct aggression
They are still the underdog in terms of sheer numbers. In a full supes vs boys scenario it wouldn’t be a contest.
Are they going to do that stupid shit and release it on 2 or more stages? I fucking hate that and it’s making me drop streaming services.
I hope Eric “Endings are hard” Kripke can actually deliver this time, this is the only show of his that has not disappointed me and I hope he sticks the landing
I already got bored of the show about halfway through season 3.

Do we have to watch Gen V to continue this series or is just watching The Boys enough?
I remember when Arrow split and you had to also watch Flash to stay current. Then they added a third one! I just dropped it.
I think you could probably get by without watching Gen V, but it really adds some additional context and depth for the characters from Gen V.
Also, I really like it and it holds up on its own.
