Now that season 2 of The Boys is finished, what questions do we need answered in season 3? Spoilers from The Boys season 2 finale are ahead.
Unlike most of the shows on streaming platforms (and its own first season), Amazon’s The Boys season 2 did not drop all of its episodes at once. It took a different route, releasing three episodes on the first Friday while the next five episodes came out weekly – an idea that worked in the show’s favor. People may have been upset at first, but millions continued to tune in every Friday. Now, season 2 has been completed and it was a wild ride.
The second season came to an end with a memorable finale in “What I Know”. During it, Stormfront was exposed for being a Nazi. Soon after, she was beaten down by Kimiko, Starlight and Maeve, lost her limbs, and was charred by Ryan’s heat vision. During Ryan’s heat vision blast, however, Becca was killed.
Among all of the carnage, there was some good news. The Boys had their records cleared. With that came M.M. getting back to his family, Kimiko and Frenchie seemed to be happy (for a change), Homelander looked rattled, and A-Train was allowed back into the Seven. Within all the good and bad, we had a plethora of random and unexpected occurrences that happened throughout the finale. Things that led to questions that we absolutely need answered.
6. What happens to The deep?
The Boys season 2 started with The Deep being lost. He was kicked out of The Seven and was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. Then, he joined the Church of the Collective and things started to look up. He fixed his image, got married, and was allowed back into The Seven.
When the season ended, A-Train was allowed back into The Seven instead of The Deep. In his anger for not being let back in, The Deep left the Church of the Collective and was back to square one.
What’s going to happen to the Deep now? He’s not back in The Seven and that was his entire purpose of this season. It’s his reason for living. Now, he may be worse than when he started. He’s married to someone he loathes and divorce will make him look bad. It’ll be interesting to see him constantly spiral down. Considering what kind of person he is, the Deep deserves everything he gets.
5. Is Stormfront dead?
As mentioned earlier, Stormfront met something of a grizzly end that many had been expecting all season. She’s now been crippled, deformed, and is probably out of her mind due to pain and defeat. But is she actually dead?
We didn’t see her die. And since she can heal, who knows what’s next for her. Considering her life was exposed, a lot of her fans won’t be rushing to help her. However, if she’s alive, someone may love and want her for their cause. There’s no way she doesn’t still have followers. Actually, she may find a way to have more now.
4. Is this just the beginning for Homelander?
At the end of season, Homelander looked defeated. This was the first time this had happened in the entire series of The Boys. He’s used to getting his way and leaving the scene with a smile. This time, however, he was defeated. He lost his girlfriend, his son, and publicly had to allow Starlight back into The Seven.
At the end of the episode, Homelander was pleasuring himself on top of a building while saying, “I can do whatever I want” until he finished. This may seem like he’s breaking, but this could also be the beginning of his ultimate plan.
In The Boys comic book, Homelander eventually brought most of the supes together. His plan was to take over the world. Who was going to stop them? He certainly has enough power to defeat an army on his own. Imagine if a hundred supes got together. No one could stop them. This loss may be the moment in which he finally realizes that he’s had enough of obeying normal people.
3. Who will replace The Deep?
The Deep is out of The Seven (still). That said, you can’t be The Seven with only six members. The name doesn’t make sense. Now, it wouldn’t be shocking if the Deep was let back onto the team. One highly public heroic deed and he’s back in Vought International’s good graces.
Until then, however, they’ll have to replace him. Easy money would be on Jack from Jupiter. We’ve already seen him in the adult video Lamplighter was watching. If he’s in one of those movies, then he’s well-known. Plus, he’s a member of The Seven in The Boys comic book.
2. Will the team take Compound V?
At some point, The Boys will realize that they’re outpowered by The Supes. There may come a time when Kimiko just won’t be enough. If and when that does happen, they’re going to need more power. The easy solution to this conundrum would be for them to take Compound V. However, if they do this, they’ll become everything they hate. Easily fixed: Butcher could trick them into taking it or sneak it into their drinks. If he takes Mallory’s offer to join the supe-defending team (like in The Boys comic), he’ll take the compound. With his wife dead, he’s going to hate supes even more and will do whatever it takes to kill them all – even if it means killing himself in the process.
1. What’s up with Victoria Neuman?
Lastly, we finally saw who was blowing up heads. All this time it was Victoria Neuman. She played us all. When we thought she was all for helping innocent people, we now realize that she has a motive of her own. The question is what is it? Maybe she thinks these deaths were for the good of the world. If that was the case, then why didn’t she kill Homelander or Stormfront? Or did she try and it didn’t work? She’s still continuing her political campaign and now Hughie is with her as well. She’s probably going to be the big bad next season.
