Annie's powers weren't working because she didn't know who she was, she didn't know whether she could be Annie after being Starlight for so long. She was depressed, angry, and uncertain about her path which are things that she couldn't be as Starlight. By the end of the season she's starting to integrate her identity as Starlight with who she sees herself as a person and so her powers start to work again, and then in the last scene she knows exactly what she has to do moving forward so her powers are full strength/even more powerful.
This is absolutely it. Thank you for phrasing it so perfectly.
That makes total sense, thank you!
We see this on Spiderman 2 of Sam Raimi Peter have problems with his powers and his identity ❤ Good Coment
@@everybodylovesrae_ you should do react on banshee if want to see antony starr in his best.
One of the many things about this episode that absolutely fucking destroyed me is the look on Butcher's face after Ryan killed Grace. The absolute sorrow on his face. I was confused at first why the whole season danced around the idea of Butcher dying just for him to end up fine. Watching this episode again, I get it now. When Ryan ( the one person that made Butcher want to fight to right all his wrongs before he passed) killed Grace, the new leaf Butcher had been trying to turn over died with her. In a manner of speaking, Butcher DID die in this episode. Now it's just the cancer 💔
Yes exactly, I felt the same way!
Annie’s power represents her inner strength, you don’t have it when you are angry depressed and lost your identity,
and the fact that she beat her own insecurities "shapeshifter" lead to her power coming back
Annie had a spiderman moment, just like him the moment she was doubting herself to the point of her existence her powers started to fail. Firecracker destroyed her Ego and secrets, the Shifter destroyed her whole persona. the powers work as nerves, when doubt and depresssion hit that hard that you denies yourself is like accepting brain death, so the powers wich is embedded into your system act like your dying.
oh wait cool, thanks for explaining!
Yep, and she's not the only character whose powers have been shown to be affected by the person's psychology. Little Cricket in Gen V is another example.
Kimiko's first spoken word is the same as the first word spoken by Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and by Darth Vader in Revenge of the Sith. Screaming "NO!" is even more epic when it comes from a previously silent character!
why should ryan give a fuck not gonna sugercoat him killing grace but he was right they were gonna do the exact thing that they did to his father
People do not understand this. They think Ryan is in a context where he doesnt exist as an individual and only has to make two decisions: to be on Homelander side or on the other side. They can't see him as a kid that lived apart from society almost all of his life, and as a kid that just learned that his father raped his mother, and as a kid that is being threatened by someone that "loves" him.
I thought this was the best season finale and many of the actors had their best performances this season imo. I felt bad for Hughie all season. In earlier episodes I kinda felt kimiko was actually really lying to frenchie I felt like her getting drunk was also her not knowing how she felt or doing with it but her and frencies pasts helped them forgive themselves. I'm really nervous about some season 5. The ending was heartbreaking for me but I also loved Annie getting even more powerful. She can actually fly faster than Homelander she is literally a star
I'm ready for Annie to kick Homelander's ass
Kimiko went silent to save her life. Only to break that mental block and speak again to save someone else’s.
Never thought her first words in the series would break me like that.
As for this season. I actually really liked it. Not all of it, but certain developments and character arcs. Oh and the acting, even this episode was incredible. Annie's actor's double acting duty, Butcher's tearing up saying what he genuinely seemed to believe would be his final farewell to Hughie, and John's actor, always managing to find new ways of seeming unhinged and crazed, even with just his facial expressions.
I agree with you over Hughie though, and this season. I thought the small conflict with Annie in this episode did make sense, because I do think Annie has some certain insecurities, and the shape shifter seems incredibly manipulative, but also quite cunning. They did after all get quite intense with their analysis of Annie, and probably called them out on some self doubt issues and insecurities they had. Like they straight up taunted them over how they proposed to Hughie and the sex they were having.. Unlike many shape shifters in other stories, this one got to have access to the person they shifted into, memories and insights into them via that... Thats an incredible potent tool as far as the ability to manipulate and mess with people. So to me, Annie was just being frustrated, upset, emotional, and insecure with what she said to Hughie.
Problem is, that Hughie has also had an incredibly tough time recently, and the shape shifter was also manipulating and sexually assaulting him as well. Like its arguably to say that maybe he could have noticed his partners odd or unusual behaviour... I think a lot of us, would like to think if our partner or best friend was replaced, we know them well and intimately enough to catch on... In theory... However this shape shifter wasn't just pretending to be Annie, she had her memories as well, so could probably use those to be extra convincing. She after all used an actual real Annie memory and relationship to family, to propose and manipulate Hughie. If Hughie doesn't know the shape shifter can do that... Plus we sometimes act differently when we try to cheer up a loved one, and we also can act odd when we are nervous and thinking about proposing... Lots of ways how Hughie could have noticed Annie potentially acting a bit odd, but not in a negative way (both are clearly stressed, suffering from trauma of recent weeks, and really deserve a break). Like hypothetically if Hughie had been replaced, would Annie have figured it out right away, or take a few days?
That being said, I think Annie also sort of realised that, and why that conflict resolved pretty fast, but it would have still been nice if someone had a heart to heart moment with both of them, about the trauma of the situation. Moments like the one we got between Frenchie and Kimiko.
Annie and her powers, I think is semi related. Psychologically I think this season has been tough on her (and all our Boys). Probably getting to beat the ^%^% out of her literal "shadow self" in a doppleganger that tried to use psychological warfare on her, the same way that Firecracker has been all season, the shade her own mother threw at all, getting that release was probably quite therapeutic, and getting to get away with just Hughie and go on a road trip after all that probably worked wonders on resting and restoring her powers, and like a muscle, when you break it down, and then give it time to heal, it often comes back stronger, hence why her flying is so much better now.
I wrote too much, but great reaction as always. My fav The Boys/Gen V reactor (not just for the edits, but observations as well!). Any interest in watching X-Men 97? Its animated but does actually cover a lot of the same themes and material as the Boys. Might be worth looking into (its technically a follow on, but you can start off with it too).
starlight this episode is the coolest she’s ever been throughout the series
KIMIKO SCREAMING BROKES ME 😭😭😭
Grace threatened to lock Ryan in an underground bunker that is basically indestructible and put him to sleep with Halothane when all he wanted was to have a moment to think about what they told him, and she was clearly about to go through with said threat. Ryan had to push her if he wanted to get out, and the panic just caused him to push a bit too hard (it's been established that he doesn't have too much control over his strength).
I respect you for being openly sympathetic to John (Homelander), but I don't understand how anyone could blame Ryan for what Grace did to herself.
I don't think this will happen, but below is my wish list for the future!
1. Ryan, Cate and Sam (and Zoe) redemption arcs. We are getting the next Gen V season before the Boys final season. So I think one hurdle in trying to get Ryan on the side of angels, is that... Well he is really lacking in solid peer interaction. Kids has it rough since his mothers death, and since then he has been surrounded by his father, who well John is John, and sycophantic Vought yes men. He also did live with Grace for a while, and he has occasional positive interactions with Butcher here and there, but I can sympathise with why he might be a little lost and struggling. Not many can really understand his specific struggles either, and now he has killed another person he will probably feel incredibly guilty over. Alternatively, he seemed really happy with getting to hang with Zoe a little bit at the beginning of the season, and he is a bit older now, and closer to the Gen V characters in age... If Ryan got to hang out with Marie, Emma, Jordan, and Zoe and some other kids with powers?
Also I just get sad seeing Cate and Sam and where they are now. I do think it makes sense character wise, but I still think there is potential for redemption. Maeve, A-Train, also flipped. Zoe also is around the same age, and would be poetic to see the character escape the cycle that Neuman was worried about, especially since she'd also already fall victim to that same cycle, at the end of this season and ending up in the place Neuman was trying so hard to keep her from.
2. Somewhat related to above, but Frenchie and Kimiko, and Hughie and Starlight. Some of my fav scenes from the Boys was Ryan interacting with Kimiko. She is older, but her and Starlight are good examples for the younger Supe teens, that coexistence is not only possible, but mutually beneficial. Its like any real life loose comparison. Being different, not only isn't a negative, but it can be a spark for compatibility. If you only see the worst from the "other side", makes sense why some of them, like Kate, Sam, etc would be jaded. So I think some of these interactions of characters getting to met and mix in the future of the show would actually be really really fun (Kimiko and Annie as mentors for some of them?).
Offtopic .. but .. where is that picture at the wall on the left from ? Reminds me totally of a part of the inner city here in Bremen, Germany.
I think Firecracker is getting congestive heart failure. She has fluid backing into her lungs because of the heart damage.
I’m pretty sure her getting her powers back had something to do with her journey of self discovery this season
... Finally you gorgeous ginger haired goddess!!!... I've been waiting patiently for your reaction to this one... Especially how it ends!! 😂... Your reaction was just how I thought it would be... Sheer perfection!!... Now we gotta see what Gen V has in store for us... Oh fun fact... M.M.'s shirt that says "Dead Prez" is a 90's hip hop group... All of the shirts he wears are 90's rap groups.
This was my first time rewatching with you. I really enjoyed your clips, humor, and perspective. Keep up the good work. Blessings
12:30 he is still his dad. It's like it's still not very good. Ryan is also afraid of Homelander like everyone else. Ryan thinks Mallory deserves it. She wanted to lock him up like they did with Homelander. Ryan knows that Homelander is an asshole, but he understands why he became such an asshole. He wants to be a superhero and help people, but as usual, many children have their own absolutist and cruel ideas about justice. This was shown to us in the scene of beating Adam
girlll exactly my thought on hughie. they did him so dirty like it legit pissed me off to the point that i didnt even feel any joy/triumph for annie getting her powers back bc to me it kinda costed hughie’s well being?? idk it just felt tainted. but i love the rest of the things they did this season, especially with kimiko
Annie was literally in a dungeon for nearly two weeks. She'd be understandably upset that while she's being held captive, her boyfriend didn't find it odd that he was suddenly having a great time doing everything they don't normally do with someone who probably doesn't act like her.
Y'all hate victim blaming until it's directed at a man
@@xarachne8473right like huey got sa multiple times
He wasn't going to just call his girlfriend an imposter. There is so much nonsense going on in his life he probably just assumed his girlfriend was trying to cheer him up. He JUST euthanized his own father and got sexually assaulted by Teknight and now he has to find out he was assaulted by a stranger playing his girlfriend. The victim blaming here is ridiculous
Annie was a victim, getting kidnapped and everything. But Huey was a victim here as well, after some initial why didn't you save me frustration, she shouldn't have shown anger towards him.
That was the most stupid thing that happened throught this whole show. Man she had no right to blame him for that when this shapeshifter not only looked like her but had her memories and all tbh I would say that Hugie was a genious figuring out that's not Annie from like small pieces that she did and was wrong. Man this guy in this season lost his dad, got sexualy violated, blamed by his girlfriend for thing that she was not right to blame him and then betrayed by a man that is a big brother to him just give this man a fuckin break
best season finale
Great reaction to this final episode of this fourth season of The Boys great review of this finale episode starting at 16:17 you are also talking facts about Hughie at 19:26 I feel nothing but sympathy for him.
I've been looking forward to this one.
Really looking forward to your reaction to *THAT* kiss in HotD S2E6!
Oh it's coming!
Neuman had it coming given she prevented Vought from Testifying in Season 2 and killed Susan Raynor of the CIA, gave up Ryan to Homelander in Season 3 which is child endangerment and prevented Butcher and Soldier Boy from killing Homelander, and has murdered and screwed over people left and right.
Its funny how people say Butcher fucked up by killing Neuman, which is fair, but also he and Starlight both fucked up last season, butcher ignored Mallory's phone call and went back on the deal, and Starlight prioritized Soldier Boy over Homelander too and Starlight screwed up in season 3 with Soldier Boy similarly to how Butcher screwed up in Season 4 with Neuman.
Marie will become the new Victoria but in a good way, i’m sorry for Vic but she also did terrible things and she has dug her own grave…
14:49 She wasn't feeling good throughout the season, just like it happens to Peter in Spider-Man 2 it ended up affecting the performance of her powers, killing the shapeshifter (Herself) was like if she finally overcame her problems
Perfect comparison couldn’t have said all this better myself
Venom...
When it comes to Victoria, I think we all want to “tear that up”- but not the way Butcher did it😂
10:00 What's funny us that Butcher told her this is what's gonna happen in s4e1 and the implication was that she felt she got this because the virus Sameer was developing. After episode 5 she lost the only contingencyplan. She might've not felt so over her head during Hughie's offer if Sage didn't motivate during the party.
Hey FireCracker 🧨 Can't wait to see what they do this with Gen V next 🍻 Marie and Butcher. RIP Chance guy...
They just announced yesterday at Comic Con that we're getting a Vought Rising prequel focusing on Soldier Boy and Stormfront
The Boys is like The Simpsons, they predict present time and future
Nope.
Neuman really dead just like that i hardly believe it...may be it was the Shapeshifter...remember Annie didn't kill it
Annie really kill the Shapeshifter 😂
@@tetamale4280 she actually didn't...she didn't snap the shifter's neck like it did to Kimiko...I think the shifter just unconscious at the time pretending to be dead
@@jontyguha3504The CIA would've likely captured and imprisoned her if so.
@@angramainyu9220 they didn't actually showed that too
I mean she wasnt needed anymore for this show so they just killed her off and that may be a push for Zoe character development
