The Boys' Series Finale Says Goodbye In the Grimmest Way Possible

Frenchie’s funeral opens the aftermath of his sacrifice, leaving the team devastated, especially Kimiko, who returns to a mute, signing state. Kimiko later regains the ability to depower supes by firing a blast from her chest, demonstrated by testing it on Sister Sage, who loses her super-intelligence. With a method to take down Homelander, the team mobilizes and breaks into the White House during Homelander’s planned Easter address. The assault kills key allies and enemies, including Oh Father and The Deep, while Starlight delivers a cathartic beatdown. Homelander’s declarations are interrupted by Kimiko, Billy Butcher, and Ryan, culminating in Kimiko depowering Homelander and ending his godhood performance.

And The Deep (Chace Crawford) dies at the hands of the sea life he betrayed, following an epic beatdown by Starlight (which, considering their long history, did include a note of catharsis)."

"As for Homelander, there's plenty of ultra-violence as Kimiko, Billy, and late arrival Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) interrupt his declarations of Godhood for an Oval Office beatdown, one that does eventually conclude with Kimiko de-powering him. (Tomer Capone appears as Frenchie in one last fantasy sequen"
