The Boys (TV Series) - Timeline

[selfishmisery]

Holy ******* ****….

Context: They didn't go full cynical with Sam's family reunion.

YET. Screw spoilers, the cynical nature lately has burned me of this universe, especially how Hughie's dad went out, but I appreciate that Sam's parents didn't get blasted by their son, they forgive him for a BRIEF lash out he had (no one died) and actually gave him character growth and comfort by the end of the newest episode.

Keep it that way, writers.

Noticed the episode had a calendar matching September 2025. There's nothing that states the school year has to start in August so this could fit (obviously ignoring the days of the week matching 2025) or enough time's passed to where the past couple episodes are in early September.

This universe is so dower I fully expected Sam to kill them both. It's nice to not have people die every couple minutes for once.

The September calendar is definitely a clue of the month, but I don't think they show the year on it so...not overt enough, again.

I put it as late-August because they were captured and sent to the juvie prison in September of the previous year...they always referring to that time locked up as "many months ago". Putting the 2nd season entirely in September wouldn't make sense why they wouldn't refer to it as "a year ago".

Yeah they don't show the year but the days of the week on the calendar match 2025. Not saying it means much, just noting. S1 isn't specific in when it's starts either beyond it being the start of the Fall semester, we just assume the school year is the same as any university when that necessarily dosen't have to be the case and it could begin in September as much as August. I'm just saying if need be it could move. Even if it's close to a year (given both seasons start at the beginning of the school year and not much times passes in S1 it'd have to be) I still think they can refer to their time since the finale as months.

Look at what had to be done with Iron Fist on the MCU timeline. They refer to the events of the first season as being months ago even though at that point it'd be well over a year.

Yeah, at this point, I've given up on the entire franchise, since everything is all so "Too Bleak, Stopped Caring".

Say what you will about Garth Ennis, but atleast the comics gave Hughie and Annie a Happy Ending (and handled certain subjects more tactfully than the show did). By the way things are going, the show's probably gonna give them both a Downer Ending.

I wouldn't be shocked if they are the last survivors in the show too, considering what Season 5 episode 7 is titled...

That said, season five killing off all the PoC protagonists and leaving the two white ones alive is HUGELY problematic…

I guess this is canon?

I'll look into it.

2024...

 

[selfishmisery]

Watching the new episode now.

 

[selfishmisery]

Emma says in the newest episode she spent 8 months in Elmira (between season 1 and 2). I gotta figure out that timeline...

EDIT: Adjusted to fit that.

14 minutes until Gen V's season 2 (series?) finale.

 

[selfishmisery]

Meh.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Meh.

Lemme guess... it sucked, didn't it?

It felt too safe.

Felt like I was watching a later season finale of The Flash.

Also, Rufus doesn't die.
Spoiler: He lives and gets saved by the protagonists and he's like "Woah, you saved me? Thanks."

I guess he's not...evil anymore? Even though he is evil and always will be because what he did was unforgivable and vile.

... bruh

Yeah they tried to 'redeem' or 'humanize', I guess, the rapist character.

That never works from a writing standpoint. Especially after Cate's story about him in season 1...

Wait until you hear about the Deep

Finale was decent.

Ethan Slater was good as Godolkin but I keep picturing SpongeBob so I could never see him with the same aura as Cipher. I still loved every moment of him on screen.

The V-One lore drop was interesting, and I felt really bad for Doug.

New Noir was funny, and I liked Sage here.

I'm glad he called out Annabeth being lowkey cheeks lmao. Outside of that prison, she's been a chronic seller

It's gonna be weird seeing these guys in The Boys Season 5

 

[BabyBomber]

Rufus doesn't die.

Yea he should've got slimed out. I had so much hope when Godolkin started clowning him

 

[selfishmisery]

Wait until you hear about the Deep

I get the feeling he'll get ripped apart a slow painful way by the ocean itself in the final The Boys season.

Perhaps for polluting it under Homelander's fascist regime...

As someone who STILL hates how Pennyworth ended on a 4th season set-up that will never happen, when they were LUCKY to get a 3rd season on HBO Max, I relate 1000% to Noir II's annoyance at the desperate sequel bait instead of closure in whatever alien movie with Polarity he was talking about haha.
