We’re not lying when we say that the fourth season of The Boys It is one of the most anticipated TV productions of 2024. As its premiere on June 13 on Prime Video gets closer, more details come about what we can expect from its plot.
That’s why here we predict what will most likely happen this season and how it will lay the foundation for what could be a great ending for season five. After all, there are many things that indicate that goodbye to Billy Butcher and his group is very close.
The fourth season already paints a pretty dark picture for The Boys
If you have been following the trailers for the fourth season of The Boys you will have noticed a noticeable change in tone. The pasts always focused on Butcher’s constant battle to try to take down the supes and Vought, but now Homelander seems to be at his maximum power.
In addition to this, we have the knowledge from last season that Butcher only has a few months to live due to using the temporary V compound. In a certain way, everything this season is taking on the appearance of an episode prior to a big finale.
The advances of The Boys They also already let us see that Homelander is one step away from becoming a figure of great political importance. Especially for his support and control of Victoria Neuman who is on her way to becoming the new president. All without the majority of the people of the United States knowing that she is also a super and that she has used her powers for evil.
His position and public acceptance despite murdering innocents in broad daylight paints a very bleak picture for people who do not support the supers. In fact Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s character makes mention of this when he says that ‘it’s a matter of time before normal humans are rounded up in camps.’ A clear reference to the Nazis and the events of World War II.
What’s the only hope to stop Homelander?
The previews of the fourth season of The Boys They also already mark the importance of the events we saw in their spin-off series Gen V. Since in it a scientist was able to create an extremely lethal virus that only infects people with superpowers. In fact, in the final scene of its last episode we saw Butcher arrive at the laboratory in search of this pathogen.
In the most recent trailer, Butcher mentions this virus and how it could be his last resort. Although the fact still remains that not all supers are bad and releasing this biological weapon would affect absolutely everyone, with no way to control it.
Although we know that Butcher hates supers a lot and would be able to free her without thinking, we don’t know about the rest of The Boys. Especially when Starlight and Himiko would also be affected when they have been very effective allies practically from the beginning.
Perhaps this debate about using the virus or not will be one of the focal points this season. If for some reason they decide not to use it, there are already some theories of what could happen in the future of the series. The most popular one has to do with Homelander and Becca’s son.
Why Becca and Homelander’s son could be very important for the future of The Boys?
Becca and Homelander’s son has been a focus of attention since the second season of The Boys. In the third season he gained more weight when in the last episode he decided to stay with his father instead of going with Butcher. Furthermore, the trailers for the fourth season already showed him taking on Homelander’s sadistic attitudes.
Although for now it seems that he is just another villain, Some theories suggest that he may be the one who ends up defeating his own father. It is possible that after seeing his great descent into madness, and due to the teachings that his mother left him, he will have to face it.
In the comics it is Black Noir who ultimately ends up defeating Homelander, after it is revealed that they are both clones. Probably in the series the role of Black Noir will be taken by Ryan, since the clone’s history was apparently changed.
Nor can we forget that in the comics of The Boys, Homelander’s son dies in practically the same issue where he is introduced. That they kept him alive for so long in the series is an indicator that he will be very important, especially for the finale. Or will he become the main villain instead of a savior?
Why should The Boys end with its fifth season?
Fortunately The Boys maintains its high quality heading into its fourth season. Even its spin-off Gen V was very well received and expanded this universe very well. Although she has not fallen into a repetitive cycle nor is she hated by fans, it is wise to decide when to retire.
As we mentioned, so far the fourth season looks like the foundation for a great conclusion. The United States is about to fall under the control of a lunatic and with much fighting among its civilians, while the hero is in his last moments of life with little hope of triumph. YesNot to mention a more latent threat of the supers becoming more hostile towards the population. It would make no sense to lengthen it unnecessarily.
You can clearly see that its writers have an already established arc for what they want to do and are putting everything together so that it comes to an end. It doesn’t look like they want to keep inventing reasons for Butcher and his boys to continue facing Vought and Homelander for years and years to come. We believe that this is the best for The Boysotherwise the gloomy feeling of this fourth season would lose its meaning.
We must also not forget that a second season of Gen V is on the way that could further set the stage for the grand finale. We could even have something Avengers Endgame style where we will see the characters from both productions reunited to finish this story with a flourish.
We love The Boys but we believe that right now they have all the elements to say goodbye as one of the great television series and they should take advantage of it. Otherwise they could get fed up with the public and why not say goodbye when nothing has yet stained your legacy?
