That last look Sameer gave in the end 100% confirmed it for me that Kessler is a hallucination

Lmao Homelander turning Ryan into King Joffrey right before our eyes

Homelander was very sly with the way he parented Ryan in this episode. He was nice to him, he let him make his own decisions and he made it clear that he supported his decisions. He knows Ryan is not okay with hurting just any humans but he knows he can let out Ryan’s mean streak by having him think he’s helping people and punishing bad people who deserve it. Homelander thinks this can lead to Ryan being like him but I don’t think that’s going to happen. I don’t think this relationship dynamic we saw in his episode will last long. They will be at odds.

You guys don’t need to tip toe around the theory Butcher is hallucinating Kessler. The entire fanbase has figured it out already.

“This man is in no condition to fuck a sheep” is right up there as one the funniest lines of the show so far😂😂

Shout out to Hughie becoming an absolute BOSS this season. Dude has stepped up big time.

Simon Pegg out here doing the best work of his career.

Hughie Sr having dementia with his powers reminds me of Professor X in Logan. The most powerful mind in the world having dementia episodes is a terrible thing to witness. It would be like Black Bolt having Tourette’s.

Ezekiel was such a great reoccurring character, i had the honour to be baptised by him when i was 12, My Cheeks still hurt but he will be missed regardless 🕊️🙏

I completely didn't realise about Butcher imagining his friend until i saw the comments to this reaction.

Nooooo, Squirt is corrupting Ryan 💔

The fact that sheep could fly better than starlight 😂

Butcher poured Joe a drink in ep 1, Joe didn't drink it. Joe never touched the powder in ep 3, the scene just has the powder already on the counter. All the signs pointing to Becca and Joe being the angel and devil on his shoulders.

As someone who lost 2 of my grandparents to Alzheimers, this episode hit especially hard. Simon Pegg also did a phenomenal job portraying what can be like for someone people. They can become who they aren’t because they’re confused or scared

How the hell did Butcher capture that guy and chop off his leg when they were all together lol

"My Wee Hughie." 😭😭😭

I never thought I would think this or be so tense but I want A-Train to just get the F out of there

Jeffre's character is basically throwback to Tyler Durden from Fight's Club. You'll notice that his character is basically 2nd version who has to agree with Butchers words all the time. Like first scene that who came up with stoopid name like The Boys, definitely what Butcher thinks 'bout it. Another example is them talking about sons and if he would've done something to his son and another example was in this: Butcher told him that Kimiko is good person and Annie isn't! it's like he is talking with himself and trying to justify everything or saying that his team is useless without him and they cannot do things properly. Basically Jeffreys character is justifying and approving all ideas and thought of Butcher, like when he said that his team are good guys and WE are bad ones so we gonna solve everything. This character is his alter-ego

"YOU CAN RUN FASTER THAN THAT!" Will Ferrell is the best sleeper addition to this season

Chris: She's the world's greatest detective. Me: I thought that honor went to Tek Knight.

I just rewatched the ending of episode 5 and when butcher says we’ll patch you up and looks at Kessler and sameer looks that way it’s almost like he’s looking around for whoever he’s talking to so yeah I think Kessler is a hallucination. Damn!!!!

I never expected The Boys of all shows to make me cry, but they did it. Simon Pegg was amazing this episode and the whole Campbell plotline this season just broke me this episode.

Just noticed Butcher’s line this episode right after meeting Sameer: “I say we fucking leg it” Insane.

Butcher's tumor most likely is what that thing was. An organism whose only drive is to survive and keep growing, now imbued with superpowers from his injection of temp V. Not a good combination, and it explains the hallucinations - the tumor wants him to keep going because it needs him to stay alive, so appeals to his conscience in the form of his late wife. And Joe is likely the other side of it, the side that's encouraging Butcher's worst sadistic tendencies and violence to further his own desires. It'll possibly come to a head in the season finale, maybe in a moment where Ryan is confirmed that his father is indeed a monster.

Frenchie said he was worried kimiko would hate him but more worried she wouldn’t ? I was confused at first so that means he wants her to hate him because he feels he deserves it, because he hates himself...

Annie's temper keeps getting the better of her, which she obviously didn't learned from last episode.

That Neegan Fight Club Prediction Is Brilliant

Simon Pegg is legitimately unsettling in this, which I never thought I’d see, but man is really pulls it off

I hate that I'm just realizing that Ryan's voice cracking in the first 4 episodes was intentional by the actor, not just him going through it. He sounds so much more confident here

Simon Pegg deserves to win an Emmy for this episode tbh, he was fantastic

i dont know why but the scene where A-train looks to sage in a "you see this shit?" kinda way only to realize she doesnt gaf was crazy to me.

Bugs me how those sheep fly better than Starlight’s first flight 😅

Simon Pegg’s performance left me shattered! The Temp V effects and his character’s stroke-induced mental decline made for a heart-wrenchingly bleak scene. He absolutely crushed it!

Frenchie has never been in a situation where he has had to directly address who he has killed. Yes, he addressed the one making him kill, but imo that was just the beginning of addressing frenchie's past. So in my opinion, yes, meeting colin was a good way of showing how his past can always catch up to him.

33:58 Yeah I saw someone else say this, and I can understand it so ill try say it again for them the best I can The theory is, that when you are an adult and you are injected with comp.V , your superpower is based off your personality/trauma, Butcher gets laser vison/strength because of homelander, Hughie gets teleportation because in his eyes, his mother teleported out of his life. And when Hugh gets V, his superpower is phasing through matter, because his wife "phased" out of his/his son's life

Easily my favourite part is Ryan really making his decisions and standing up for them and homelander really seeing how he can work with Ryan’s ideals properly

That Hughie arc got me crying

My boy Ryan finally embracing his super nature. Hes basically going to become The punisher. Or more accurately a batman who kills considering he has more of a sense of justice, so basically Ben Afflecks Batman but with 0.5% of Supermans powers.

I don't understand why you guys are so amazed that Numans daughter and Numan are bulletproof. And keep saying how numan is upgrading and all that. Its made very clear threwout the entire show than most of the supes are. Butcher shot starlight with a 50 cal rifle like 3 times. Soldier boy, homelander, queen mave , translucent, number of people on gen v as well. All bulletproof. The damn animals in this episode as well are all bulletproof, point is most of them are strong a durable on top of what ever powers. Lower tier supes arnt like gunpowder, mezmier, ect. That's all. Also, numans powers arnt to pop heads , she's a blood bender same as the girl in gen v. She said it in gen v. Poping heads is just her preferred way of killing . She can just control people's blood

I think what Homelander learned from both Sage and his reunion in the lab, while seeming positive in a sense at first, as a less unhinged approach, is really disturbing. He decides that in order to win over Ryan as his son to use as a pawn in his plan to overthrow the world, he's found a middle ground in dominating humans, in which he can warm his son up to easier. Instead of brutally killing humans directly, which his son reacts negatively to, he's simply easing his son into mass murder by now exploiting his virtuousness in teaching him that 'As long as your intentions are good, forcing good people to do bad things to bad guys isn't in itself a bad thing.' Imagine the chaos releasing a super-powered fourteen year old kid with that kind of mindset would cause on an international scale. This is part of one of the reasons why I love Amazon's adaptation of the The Boys, as they take the show's narrative questions in that direction often, while grounding the show in a way that's not self-serious. Based on Ryan's recent discussions with Butcher, and his maturing age though, I figured he'd be smarter than to fall for that sort of carrot from Homelander.

The butcher saw the death of the rabbit and the parasite leaving its body. Just remember that the compound v and the temporary, which can be more difficult due to their situation. and added that Kessler is a hallucination of his traumas that he makes him see!!!

Surge should really watch Alias since he brings up Lost so much.

Oh Man Hugh Campbell's death was so sad. I was almost sent to tears. But the way he walked through people was horrifying! Compound V is some sick twisted bile!

You guys are definitely one of the best reaction channels ❤❤❤

I dont think Homelander is manipulating Ryan, I think he just wants him to learn from experience instead of through orders. Like when your child wants to drink what you're drinking, and you say okay knowing full well they wont like black coffee. By letting Ryan do what he wants, Ryan will eventually see that maybe his dad was right all along. That maybe they do have the power to do whatever they want, and that humans are so vile that maybe they should rule over them, and that he can genuinely help man kind if he learns to use his power. Like Mark in season 2 episode 1 of invincible.

With the amount of tease Tom Hanks has been getting, he better do a cameo in this show!

The writers of this show will not allow Hughie to be happy!

Sincere sympathy to whoever had to cut this video, there was just too much awesome craziness to fit in the time allotted.

Chris reaction to the bull scene got me cryin😂

That Mf is Not Real!! ... Feel Like Butcher is the only one who sees Kessler. 5 eps in and He has had 0 zero scenes with any other character🤣

I don’t get why Neuman wasn’t popping sheep heads tbh

I think everyone is overlooking that Hughie’s dad’s forgetfulness/dementia is a very common result from a stroke in real life - it wasn’t a side-effect of the V. The V gave him Kitty Pryde powers and the dementia made it difficult for him to control those powers.

the scenes with Hughies dad crushed meee omg i was crying so bad. but Simon is an incredible actor.

I like how they wrote Hughes last words to be “Tom Hanks” and Robins last words were “Billy Joel”. My man Hughie can't catch a break.

23:51 “It’s time to put him to go” 😂 Pat thinks he’s takeout

14:25 Hmmm sounds like Navi knows what she's talking about. Navi be getting freaky!! It's always the ones you least expect it from. 😂😂

love you normies‼️

Don't forget that Ryan as Homelander's son shares the same powers with hum. He knew Adam was lying because of his heart rate. Homelander has sensed lies like that in previous seasons.

This show shows how scary super powers could be

This episode left me crying, amazingly emotional. Also, I honestly think it's really nice Hughie named his cat Jar Jar.

Suraj with the Zelda reference got me because I immediately flashed back to Ocarina of Time getting swarmed by cuccos

The whole sheep section reminded me of a horror comedy film called ''Black Sheep'' so much fun, lol.

I also feel like negan is just a hallucination, either its the infection or hes just going crazy

But if negan is not real, who took the drugs for ryan to butcher? In this episode when butcher arrives that house, who opens and closes the other door of the car? Lol

22:42 poor mm man, they’ve been driving him crazy since season 1

Technically, Butcher’s ‘hallucination’ of Lenny was possibly just a bad dream and the other time in season 3 was brought on by Mindstorm’s powers. As for Butcher’s hallucination of Kessler, I do think that is what’s happening, but less like Venom and more like Hulk. The only connection with Venom is that he’s actively talking with his ‘persona’ and the weird worm thing inside him, but him blacking out, lashing out like a monster and destroying Ezekiel looked more like Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk. Also, I agree with Chris about the connection Hugh Sr’s powers have with Hughie’s when he took Temp V. Teleportation is just another form of super speed in a way and speeding your molecules so fast you go through objects and people is something the Flash and Reverse Flash do, and it would also tie with A-Train like how Butcher’s powers were like the same as Homelander’s.

You should definitely check out society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, ,the acting was amazing.

Sage knows who the real moles are and she's okay with the discord A-Train and Ashley are sowing among the Seven. The one thing standing in her way is Homelander, the chaotic variable in her plan. Because remember what he told her in Episode 1? "We could put some your theories into practice on a global scale." Homelander only assumes he's part of that plan.

I think Butcher is going to figure out Kessler isn't real when Becca talks to him and Kessler tells him to ignore her

Becca is the angel telling Billy to do good and Kessler is the devil telling him to do bad.

I can’t believe there are people who STILL believe Hughie’s mom is a hallucination

Kessler started telling about how Butcher saved him on a mission. He probably didn't.

Mann Simon Pegg is still so amazing.. his acting is stil genuine af

The Frenchie & Colin storyline is totally fitting with the whole theme of the season. The sins of your past catching up with you. Kimiko's storyline is the exact same thing and nobody seems to have an issue with that. In fact you all seem excited to know more. How is one character having to come to terms with their past, in a season devoted to the concept, so interesting while another is boring and - out of place?

Thanks rana she's cute lol for coming back thats awesome! 👍🎉❤😂

Another excellent episode.

Never laughed, and cried, so much at a Boys episode. man

Kimiko was right. '' Maybe your dad's supposed to die!'' Huey hangs on to people. If they just let Simon Pegg die those people at the hospital would still be alive.

I think it's more like Butcher has an angel and devil on his two shoulders. The angel being his ex-wife that's driven to save Ryan, and tbe devil being Negan that's driven to kill Homelander. It's like a war within him and he's going back and forth.

That whole thing with Butcher kidnapping Sameer is ridiculous. Made no sense at all how he would be able to do any of that without anybody hearing anything.

Butcher is doing Fight club. Kessler is not real. Its just Butcher hallucinating. Because only Butcher interacts with Kessler. Not even Samir looked to the side where Kessler was standing. Samir was looking only at Butcher.

I was not expecting Animal Farm on crack, man!

I'm glad they didn't throw away the entire plot of Gen V down the drain with just one episode. Plus the scientist is Neuman's bf so leverage

I know Antony Starr is amazing as Homelander. But we gotta give some props to Ryan's actor too. Cause now hes starting to become more like Homelander 😳

Honestly I thought Joe was so telegraphed to be a hallucination that I kind of expect it to be a bait & switch, but apparently a lot of people don't see that at all, so.

“Tom Hanks” being Hughie’s dad’s final words kind of reminds me of the last words that Hughie’s girlfriend ever heard in the pilot being “Billie Joel” idk why.

My only complaint about the sheep is that they all had the exact same powers. What are the odds of that?

Good thing we watched Gen V before season was 4. It's like MCU all over again.

i lowkey wanna see A-train Vs Homelander

I have a theory that Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character really doesn't exist...he might be another part of Butcher's hallucination like Becca...I think Jeffrey's character was once Butcher's close friend and also another victim of Homelander...The Parasite inside him continuously triggering him through those characters turning him into the actual crazy Billy Butcher with ultimate supe form

Becca is the Angel on Butcher’s shoulder and Joe is the Devil on his shoulder. As Butcher gets closer to death and more desperate we’re seeing Becca way less and Joe more because he feels like he has to give into his impulses to succeed

4:09 Maeve didn't die. Don't you remember the last episode in season 3? She was shown to be alive after the Soldier Boy explosion in CCTV camera and Ashley deleted the footage that showed it

11:31 Finally a reaction to "articulate" 😂😂

To answer that comment about phasing and regards to kitty. kitty would actually lose limbs and or completely out right have fatal injuries or die if she did that. Ex when she phased her hand into wolverines skull she lost her hand doing so

Yeah it definitely makes sense to me about him hallucinating Joe. It was always weird to me he knows everything about the boys and what they going through and even this episode knowing Frenchie a junkie

AS wild, funny and heartbreaking as the episode was the thing that made me laugh until I could hardly breath was Butcher's "I'd call you a c*nt but..." line. had to pause, collect myself, then text the quote to my husband at work. he doesn't even watch the show, but that line was just too good.

It does sort of make sense, if Kessler is another hallucination, He's serving as the devil on his shoulder convincing him to control or kill Ryan, where as Becca seems to be the angel on his shoulder who wants him to save Ryan. We have a dilemma folks, which side is going to win out??

Becca is the Angel on his shoulder; Kessler is the Devil.

Fun fact : Firecracker is also KARA from the game Detroit become human .
