The Boys season 3: 7 crucial moments from the season 3 finale

The Boys season 3 finale was full of scenes and moments that will shape the future of this series. Here are the most important ones.

The Boys season 3 finale on Amazon Prime Video has come and gone. The finale had everything that a fan of the show could ask for. The violence, hilarious quotes, and scenes are there, but those are a small part of the season 3 ending. The key to it’s greatness was how the story progressed.

There were many moments from The Boys season 3 that showed how amazing the creative team is. The finale was no different. If you enjoyed the show from the beginning, then you’ll be anticipating the season finale. These moments coming up are the most important of season 3. They’re so good that they’ll influence The Boys going forward.

7. Homelander finds Ryan in The Boys season 3 finale

Mallory and Ryan spent the last year moving to different places so Homelander wouldn’t find them. Well, thanks to Victoria Neuman, Homelander discovered their location. As you’d assume, the reunion went well.

Homelander said he wasn’t mad at Ryan for blasting Stormfront with his laser eyes. He said he understood what it’s like to have powers at a young age. In reality, he knows that he needs Ryan. He has Homelander’s DNA and he needs someone to carry his legacy. This one interaction changed the entire course of the series. Because, in the end, Ryan chose Homelander over Butcher.

6. Homelander kills Black Noir

This writer thought it was going to be Homelander and Black Noir versus Soldier Boy and Billy Butcher. The four were supposed to have a battle that would shake the world. That idea was destroyed by Homelander when he killed Black Noir.

Homelander hated that Noir didn’t tell him he had a father out there.  This writer was shocked that Black Noir was killed. He thought that he was too entertaining to not make it. Well, he was wrong.

It makes sense for Homelander, though. He’s impulsive and emotionally unstable. This won’t be the last time he does something like this. In fact, Homelander makes another rash move at the end of the episode (it’ll be mentioned in the final section).

5. The Boys vs Soldier Boy

After Soldier Boy puts Ryan in danger, Butcher has to make a decision: Does he protect his dead wife’s son from Soldier Boy or fight Homelander with Maeve? Butcher chose to fight Soldier Boy. At that moment, Butcher knew that Soldier Boy was more dangerous than Homelander.

Try as he might, Butcher couldn’t beat him. He’s lucky Annie January and Mother’s Milk showed up. Without them, Butcher would have been killed. However, even their might wasn’t enough. Soldier Boy is close to Homelander’s power level and is a better fighter. Just like in the season 2 finale, Maeve came in and saved the day.

4. Soldier Boy’s big bang finale

Just like Butcher, Queen Maeve had a choice to make: Does she finish off Homelander or save the heroes from Soldier Boy’s radioactive blast? For the second time in the series, Homelander was moments away from death. Instead of finishing off Homelander, Maeve grabbed Soldier Boy and jumped out of a window with him. Soldier Boy let out his blast with Maeve with him.

It looked like Maeve was dead. Vought International even put out a video commemorating her life as a hero. The blast takes the powers away from supes. And, from that height, the fall should have killed her. Thankfully for her, it didn’t. Maeve survived with some injuries and no longer has her powers. Maeve and her girlfriend are going to get away and live a normal life together.

3. Butcher has a year to live

Butcher knew that the Compound V24 was putting holes in his brain. After the final battle, he fell. When we saw him next, he was in the hospital. The doctor mumbled something, but the bottom line is Butcher has a year to live. Eighteen months tops. If Butcher keeps the same personality that he does in The Boys, he’s going to live his final days trying to kill every supe that’s a threat to the world.

2. Annie January is one of The Boys

Despite everything she’s been through with The Seven and Vought International, Annie January still wanted to be a hero. Via social media, she continued to tell the world that Vought and Homelander were evil. The fight may be over, but the war continues. To help, Annie does something unlike the comic book: She officially joins The Boys.

Annie joining The Boys was a nice, but expected twist. This Annie January is nothing like the comic book. She’s more assertive and ready to sacrifice her life to save people. Something a true hero would do. Now The Boys have someone with superpowers and another person to make sure Butcher doesn’t get out of line.

1. Whatever he wants

This is where things get scary. Early in the finale, Homelander had The Deep kill a candidate for Vice President of the United States. This put Victoria Neuman in place to take the spot next to the likely next president, Robert “Dakota Bob” Singer.

It got worse. Homelander introduced the world to his son at a rally in front of Vaught International. When someone threw a bottle that hit Ryan, Homelander killed him with his laser eyes. After a hush fell over the crown, Todd (the stepfather of M.M.’s daughter) cheered for Homelander. This started the moment that made everyone cheer.

It’s now official. Homelander can do whatever the hell he wants. Season 4 is going to be even more diabolical than anything we’ve seen so far.
