QUICK VERDICT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

After Episode 7, I honestly don\u2019t know how The Boys<\/em> can possibly wrap everything up properly in just one final episode. I really hope they somehow redeem themselves because this season has felt all over the place despite having some incredible moments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Boys Season 5 Episode 7 – REVIEW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother’s Milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big spoiler warning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest disappointment for me was definitely Soldier Boy. He basically carried this season with his presence, charisma, and unpredictability\u2026 only for Homelander to silently strangle him unconscious without any real fight. Seriously? This is supposed to be the one man who could truly rival Homelander, the walking nuclear weapon, and we don\u2019t even get a proper brutal showdown between them? It felt incredibly anticlimactic. Even if Soldier Boy was destined to lose, at least let him go down in an honest fight instead of quietly being \u201cput to sleep.\u201d If this is really the end of his arc, bringing him back this season almost feels wasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kimiko suddenly training to become a new Soldier Boy-type weapon was also strange. I\u2019m not against the idea itself, but it came out of nowhere. There was barely any setup leading into it, and the season has had this recurring issue where characters suddenly change direction from one episode to the next without enough buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hughie surviving this long is honestly becoming comedy at this point. In this episode, Hughie, Annie, and Mother\u2019s Milk mostly just existed around the plot instead of truly affecting it. We finally got MM\u2019s real name reveal and some cool character moments, but for a penultimate episode, they didn\u2019t really do<\/em> much besides taking down a few random supes that didn\u2019t feel especially important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, Deep had some of the best scenes in the episode, which feels insane to even say. Seeing him operate outside of his usual water-related comfort zone actually made him more interesting than half the main cast this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sage might still have a massive role left to play, but at least her storyline has remained consistent throughout the season. Whether people like her or not, her writing feels focused compared to everyone else randomly shifting personalities and motivations depending on the episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the ending with Frenchie dying and Kimiko mourning him while Butcher stood there with visible regret on his face. The question now is whether Butcher regrets losing Frenchie as a person\u2026 or whether he\u2019s panicking because the only guy capable of perfecting the virus may now be gone forever. Honestly, it\u2019s probably both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now the biggest issue is pacing. There are still way too many unresolved threads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
