And butcher is too inconsistent for me. He's always flip flopping with his decisions
It makes sense because he has too many people and memories making him second guess himself constantly.

Huey (pseudo Lenny)

Ryan (only thing around that reminds him of his late wife)

Traumatic memories from his childhood.

He WANTS to go all the way but apart of him doesn't want to become a complete monster.
Since he is dying though, who knows :mjlit:

The finale didnt hit IMO at least not the final confrontation. Soldier Boy really didnt have a reason to hate and want to kill Homelander. You cant tell me the deal he had with Butcher was iron clad and Soldier Boy has such upstanding morals that he felt he was bound to it. He could have easily been like "naa im good, how about i join the 7 and then go about my merry day fukking old bytches"

The irony of the whole family line is hubris. They are the strongest supes around.

Soldier Boy didn't come to his conclusion overnight, he had time to think about it.

When Homelander explained Ryan, he looks at Butcher with slight contempt like "You failed to tell me I have a granson too, a$$hole"
But when looking upon both of them, he is thinking about his own dad's words over and over.

He realized that apart of what his father said to him, he truly believes. Homelander is running around caring about what people think of him to the point where it affects everything he does.
That clearly disgusted him, hence the "You are a disappointment" line. Full circle :wow:

Knowing that Ryan came from Homelander meant that the kid was gonna be just as emotional weak as his daddy, so him going "fukk them kids" makes sense.

I agree that part made sense to me. When soldier boy was talking about the kind of kids he would have the image in his head wasn’t Homelander and Ryan. Like his father, it was like he was ashamed at what they ended up becoming not something in his image.

He probably didn’t want them to become his legacy. Man shyt

Its like waking up out a coma and someone tells you saucy Santana is your son

I always call this type of circular writing, pinky and the brain syndrome. If they ever accomplish their goal the show ends.

Thats how i feel about the boys. If they kill homelander they end the show, so they gotta write some contrived plot point where everyone acts out of character and makes stupid decisions to keep the loop going. Next season, “we have to kill homelander” rinse and repeat

Can't say I agree with any of this breh.

I get that Butcher's primary character motivation is "kill Homelander" but even if Homelander died in the season finale, their world isn't any better. Neuman is still gonna be VP....if she kills Singer she'll run the whole fukking country.

Hell, I thought after Homelander/Ryan walked out they were written off the show. Not permanently obviously but after the Neuman VP reveal I figured they'd be gone until around the middle of season 4. When they showed back up in the finale scene I was surprised.
