The Boys (TV Series) - Timeline

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.
 
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

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.

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...

That... WHAT?! So in other words, they pulled a 13 Reasons Why on the rapist?! That's just so fucked up and tone deaf.

(For context, 13RW has two rapists (Bryce and Monty) that are given sympathetic aspects/redeeming qualities in Seasons 3 & 4, despite both being vile scumbags in the original two seasons.)

You can never convince me that Sage is even a good character. I just found her to be so bloody obnoxious for what was essentially someone who was a literal walking example of the "Smartest person in the world" trope.

I can see how her being an obnoxious know-it-all can be grating but I didn't mind it bc it was funny at times and pretty clearly manipulating people toward her greater goal

I always liked that she actually challenged Homelander, but at the time I didn't like that their approach to her masterminding was "Heh actually I was behind it even when I wasn't around."

After rewatching Sesson 4, I appreciated that aspect a bit more (I could finally relate to having to orchestrate something around someone being a petty moron). They kinda lean into that here, but in reverse since she orchestrated a plan around someone nearly as smart as her but it fell apart bc Godolkin was a know-it-all who knew less

I also appreciated their approach to the "why doesn't this genius just fix everything?" question that comes up with super-genius characters, because there's nothing realer than knowing you're right and something entirely preventable happening bc you didn't get listened to.

Understandable. Personally, though, she's trying too hard to be a Magnificent Baddie or a villainous chessmaster, a la a certain BLEACH villain (Aizen) whom I've been spoiled to death and back on about, despite being nowhere near his stuff.

That works for YJ's Vandal Savage, cause he gained his knowledge from 50,000 years of life.
