Holden, Thank you for being one of the only youtubers who takes issue with how Hughie gets treated after that assault, was sitting there thinking the same when i watched it, and could'nt believe Annie/Starlight blamed him instead of understanding him considering she went through a same type of thing!
and literally just a few episodes after already sexually traumatizing Hughie, with a side serving of the fact its very unlikely after what happened in 4x6 that he would be interested in anything related to sex for a bit, and they just move on like that episode never happened
Its even worse. An interviewer asked Kripke: "Let’s start with the Tek Knight sex dungeon part. Where did the idea come for it? And why bring Hughie into this situation now - kicking him when he’s down by having him sexually assaulted by his childhood hero after his dad just died" He answered: "Well, that’s a dark way to look at it! We view it as hilarious". Just disgusting and disappointing to hear the showrunner saying that rape is funny if the victim is a man.
Please react to Gen V. The first season was like a bridge from the end of The Boys s3 to season 4, and its next season shows what the world looks like with Homelander and other supes in charge of the Government. Plus, all the characters of Gen V are fascinating and have cool powers
Season 4 felt like one big set up for Season 5. Which is Great for Season 5 because everything should be full throttle, but Season 4 suffers for it. It’s not “bad” but it’s lacking after seasons 2 and 3
I would definitely call it bad. There are so many plotholes and repeated story parts like Frenchies and Kimikos past. Even season 3 wasnt as good as season 1 and 2 but it had Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy and he absolutely carried it
You guys should watch Gen V, the good quality that was missed in this season definitely went to Gen V, and it just gives you a better understanding of some characters/plot lines
I really didn't like how they handled Hughie this season, poor guy couldn't catch a break. His dad dies, then he gets SA'd 3 episodes in a row. I'm hoping this is like his lowest point and get some sort of complete arc in season 5.
I hate how Hugie gets R worded and they had Starlight, who was also assaulted, victim blame him. Itd be understandable if like alot of this show it was a political commentary but considering it usually only attacks extreme rights while this is a common extreme left issue and comments made outside the show by the producer about episode 6 I dont think it is and its just revolting. Im glad its on its final season because if it were longer I couldn't continue supporting it.

Without seeing Gen V, all of the backstory of the Supe killing drug, the characters that took Frenchie away in the van(The guy that Komiko punched with no effect and the girl that whispered in Frenchie's ear) is lost on you. (Like Newman's husband. You meet him in Gen V). It's obvious that they will be characters in the last Boys season and you know nothing about them. It's like watching Avengers Infinity War/Endgame, but missing 3or 4 of the Marvel movies that went before it. Yes, you will still like the movie but you will miss the meaning of a lot of the dialogue. Remember... Weather they say it or not, the creators WANT you to watch BOTH series in order to get the FULL story. And you can be sure that the next chapter of this story will NOT be The Boys season 4... It will be GEN V season 2!
May I make a request? Y’all should do a reaction to The One with Jet Li. I rewatched it a few months ago for the first time in a LONG time. Some of it is still goofy but the beginning STILL holds up.
I hope y'all watch The Wild Robot. I think it will personally wreck Jen because of its themes. Best animated movie of the year by a long shot. It buries Inside Out 2 imo
If you can't explain something in your MAIN show, even a 2 minute thing, you're telling a story poorly. people should not have to google to understand, unless its an arty pretentious thing.
To me the show started to slowly decline in season 3 and fully declined now in season 4. It became the type of show that they made fun of and parodied the whole time. Now I know how Obi-Wan felt like after he beat Anakin in episode 3. "You were supposed to make fun of those shows, not join them". Even Kripke admitted it recently. I just hope he learned and will bring it back to the roots without the unnecessary "wtf" factor that they nowadays add just to get a reaction.
Hated having Homelander’s son kill her for no reason- felt like they had been trying to seed it beforehand but instead the fact that he already knew he needed to be careful just indicates that he’s now just a murderer with no development behind it
Wrong. Ryan was still trying to hold back on pushing Grace away but it still killed her. Compare that to when he shoved that Stunt guy, he was a smear against that building. Ryan didn't mean to kill her, let's not call him a killer until after we see how he reacts
The whole scene just felt incredibly contrived and like a plot point they wanted to occur rather than anything based on character development and who we know these people to be Plot informing character rather than the other way around
yeah, I agree, I think season 4 of the Boys is my least favorite, I feel it is the weakness season in my opinion, I think the first 3 seasons were bangers, I think what made this season fall to the ground was Gen V (2023) I think it change the whole concept of season 4, I think episode 7 and 8 were the best of this season, this season got too political and too slow for me, but still my favorite show , it's rsnk at #1 still for me, good reaction.
Season 4 was without a doubt the worst of all the previous seasons. The shock value is gone and it doesn't matter how many times the writers try to make that so, it falls flat.
Holden critiqued this season perfectly unfortunately this season for me was horrible seems liek they added all that edgy/political stuff because they lacked story it's becoming a meme show
Overall not a fan of S4. It’s pretty clearly the weakest of the 4 seasons. It just can’t stop with the political commentary. Yes it’s always been there but it never was made so plot focused like it was this season. It usually was just an off the cuff line or setting that didn’t really matter but the entire 4th season feels like it’s poking fun at real life politics. I don’t care whether you’re left or right it’s just too on the nose about it. I’m hoping it’s better in S5 but based on the fact that the political party that Homelander is clearly supposed to represent actually won IRL I doubt it’ll get any better.
There's something I never understood in the Boys. Why are almost all superheroes bulletproof? I mean, it's just a shapeshifter, why is a shapeshifter bulletproof? This makes no sense.
@@DLites151 this would be nonsensical even if I did make a comment that suggested anything about my worldview. It’s even more nonsensical to suggest an election occurring (newsflash, this is the second election since the show began) has anything to do with whether people watch a show because one of its elements happens to be political satire…

Fun fact: Black Noir being narcoleptic was added in as a joke because the actor playing him was often found napping on set! lol
Not just napping on set apparently he's narcoleptic as well so they just added it into the character

Now, please watch The Penguin & X-Men 97 Animated series 🙏. Please?
Death Note and Penguin
X men 97 PLEASE I want to watch their face when they see episode 5
You guys should watch Gen V, the good quality that was missed in this season definitely went to Gen V, and it just gives you a better understanding of some characters/plot lines
Hope you guys will watch Gen V, it's truly more than just a spin-off
I'm excited for y'all to start Arcane next. I hope y'all react to Cobra Kai after Arcane, especially since Cobra Kai S6 Part 2 releases this Friday.
Why so they can predict entire episodes 5 minutes it? Arcane was written like someone just got out of HS. It's trash outside of the animation.
@@RevRyukin7Who burnt your toast?
Dam what a lack of reaction for kimiko speaking

Damn 23 mins for both. Yall just wanted to get through this and done lol
fr the cuts are insane..from starlight flying then straight to the after credits scene💀
@ 💀💀💀💀
for a finale too. They dedicated more time on earlier / lesser eps lmao
Idk why they even bother
They're republicans. They're idiots.
@@SaintPaul-bp3qr Why are you guys acting like they don't actually watch the scenes we don't see them react to lol.
You guys have to watch the penguin, easily the best show in such a long time, 8 episodes and not a single bad or filler episode
2 episodes in 20 minutes 😅, this was like a Bourne movie edit, so many cuts 😂
11:00. Same thing also happened in Fringe when Fauxlivia switched herself with Olivia and came back with Walter and Peter and had was with Peter
yeah this season felt more like everything setting up for the season finale / final season next
Don't mind this coming late, I enjoyed the reaction anyways and it had some really great moments! ❤
I dont know if ur already planning on it but u guys should definitely check out gen v it was honestly great and will tie up a few loose ends.
I love Jen’s Selena & Aaliyah shirt. 💕
I am so happy you guys watched this I love this episode

Just say raped, censoring it for no reason💀
@@jcolin16he’s probably another SJW

Y'all crazy !! This season was good. Season 5 is the last season and its gonna be crazy !!!!
You guys should definitely watch Gen-V!
May I make a request? Y’all should do a reaction to The One with Jet Li. I rewatched it a few months ago for the first time in a LONG time. Some of it is still goofy but the beginning STILL holds up.
2 characters at the end with Kumiko and Frenchy is from Gen V , nuff said.
Please react to gen v
Can you guys watch Gen V? It's going to have a new season next year it's a good show
Justified series
See Holden thats why i watch your videos totally forgot about batgirl being cancelled
Please Watch Transformers One !!
Strongly Agree 👍.
Best movie of the year
Hopefully they don’t make it 5 minutes lol
I hope y'all watch The Wild Robot. I think it will personally wreck Jen because of its themes. Best animated movie of the year by a long shot. It buries Inside Out 2 imo
Gen V ???
You guys better watch Gen V, its pretty good
not watching Gen V and watching this season was not a smart decision. theres a reason for spinoffs and release order...

You both should do cobra Kai absolutely and the karate kid franchise as well
Cobra Kai part 2 , Arcane, Penguin hopefully next

Me personally I loved it and I think if they made Season 4 feel like the final season then once the Final season arrived it would've been a huge flop
Do you guys have plans to watch Vox Machina? It's pretty unique how they adapted it to show form!
Season 4 was without a doubt the worst of all the previous seasons.
The shock value is gone and it doesn't matter how many times the writers try to make that so, it falls flat.
10:18 lol

Hey I am a friend of your daughter from school
She was so embarrassed when we found out about your channel 😅

i saw boys and I little like it. can you react to marvel shows Echo shows. Echo is a Hawkeye spinof
The penguin?
