The Boys fans agree shock Homelander twist will 'never be topped'

The season four finale of The Boys is upon us and fans have been discussing a plot twist that lives long in the memory.

Inspired by the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comics of the same name, The Boys which premiered on Amazon’s Prime Video in 2019 is a satirical show that centres around a “superhero” group named The Seven run by the evil Vought International.

However, The Seven are no superheroes, who abuse their power and unnatural privilege to rule as they see fit with Homelander (played by Antony Starr) leading the way with no morals other than his own and no regard for human life.

This week, fans of The Boys are excited to see the final episode of season four making way for its fifth and final season, but before we say goodbye, fans have been discussing the most shocking moments of the series (and there’s a lot).

Now, before I proceed, I will be going into spoiler territory for the conclusion to the first-ever episode in season one, so please consider this to be your final spoiler warning.

Making his early claim as a dastardly “superhero”, on the orders of Vought International executive, Madelyn Stillwell, she orders Homehander to destroy Senator Calhoun’s plane mid-air (his young son was also a passenger) after he tried to blackmail her.

“Could the show ever pull a twist like this again?” asked Redditor CretaceousClock.

“This is the scene that hooked me,” replied BillyDeeisCobra. “There were audacious leaps in season one that were for shock value, and that was the magic formula.”

“I thought they would've made Homelander into a good guy doing horrible things for Vought and that he would've been a tragic villain but man, was I wrong,” said Dono_X_Dono.

“Season one was amazing, pretty much the last time Homelander still felt like an existential threat,” Eifand exclaimed.

“If they did this scene now, there would be 50 people on that plane having sex,” claimed FamousLoser, who probably isn't wrong.

The final episode of season four of The Boys is available to stream now on Prime Video.
