Take a look at Season 4 ofThe Boysbelow
Up until yesterdayThe BoysSeason 4 was a little hit or miss with fans, with many saying the season seemed to focus primarily onhow it can disturb or shock the viewerrather than tell a good story.
But this season’s finale was an emotional rollercoaster, and possibly one of the best finales of the show so far depending on who you ask.

The way things ended also seem to be tying into thecomic run, in which Billy Butcher, in his never-ending crusade to kill all superheroes, goes rogue.
Not only does he succeed in killing an army of supes, including Homelander, he also takes out The Boys before having a final confrontation with Hughie atop the Empire State building.
Of course this could just be a bit of clever misdirection from the writers, especially since the comics didn’t have a living version of Soldier Boy that could burn out the Compound V in a superhero’s blood…just saying.

Only time will tell, and hopefully the Season 5 finale leans a bit further away from the comics, otherwise there’ll be a lot of viewers who already know how the show will end.
