The Boys S5 E5

Spoilers

“One-Shots”

What seemed like it started out as another filler episode turned out to be one of the most significant episodes of the year.

The episode is split into sections featuring different characters including Firecracker, Sister Sage, Black Noir, Soldier Boy, and… Terror, Butcher’s dog?

Each of these sections focus in on these characters, seeing their real thoughts and their struggles.

And what a bloodbath…

We lose Adam Bourke to eels going up his butt while sitting on the toilet.

We lose Malchemical, Mr. Marathon are killed by Soldier Boy. The Supernatural reunion of these characters did not last long.

Then we lose Seth Rogan, Kumail Ali Nanjiani, Will Forte, Christopher Mintz-Plasse… all brutally killed as Mr. Marathon runs through them all… set up by Soldier Boy.

And… most shocking… Firecracker, as Homelander stabs her head with the eagle statue’s wing.

This was way better than it should have been. The different POV’s of the episode were truly amazing. It went from unbelievably hilarious moments to horrendous dramatic moments.

We get Sister Sage’s master plan. We get further trouble between Black Noir and The Deep. We get Stan Edgar broken, thanks to a threat to his granddaughter. Terror ate some chocolate and dreams of humping Homelander.

The show is rushing toward the finale. No one is safe.
