THE BOYS Season 4 Episode 7 Breakdown & Ending Explained | Review, Comic Easter Eggs And More

welcome to the heavy spoilers show I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down the boys the brand new episode has just released and we're almost at the season 4 finale throughout this video we're going to break it all down and talk about the Easter eggs and callbacks to the comics also want to give a big time and go over where I think things are going to go with out of the way thank you for clicking this now let's get into the boys your family isn't your enemy your family is all you've got now we start off with the Avenue V Christmas special first introduced during gen V this puppet show is a parody of Sesame Street and Avenue Q originally hosted by Jason rder Ryan's now here for the Christmas special the show being set during Christmas has also been shown to us before as we had V on ice with a Christmas themed song the special is getting filmed for the kids which is a play on Disney kids and it indoctrinates the youth from a young age not Disney kids though some of you might think it does but the entire show is basically about training kids to snitch on certain people in society this segment is for those suspected as being part of antifa it's sort of playing on the Red Scare with it being an updated version of mcarthism antifa is obviously a big talking point in real life too with it being an easy way to lump people together this puts everyone in a under one mind state in order to drive fear not to both sides it well I will H but you'll see this a lot in politics where the other are given a blanket name even if the individuals within it don't necessarily align with their beliefs it's just easier to label M showing us a model version of the seven Tower we then fade into a snow globe pulling out we see several puppet versions of the characters homelander seems to be getting close to firecracker and I I'd be utterly disappointed if we missed out on a milk pun going past your eyes dear me man Chanel's terrible now there's also black and W and we pull back to the A train puppets out with Ryan the cabin here is also reminiscent of the one from season 2 so you can see why Ryan may start to get memories of his mother since it's around that that she died however one character who is in there is Sage showing how she's not really accepted into the team she gets kicked out towards the end and we know that teenage kicks kicked her out as well so I think due to her intelligence she's always seen as an outsider and she does a la botomy to bring her down to a level with the rest of the population this is highlighted in the next scene where we catch Sage arriving at the seven meeting turns out they moved it up without letting her know and it's clearly homelander and firecracker running the show we see that vs now also selling nfts of homelander these are are clearly based on the ones Trump sold with several of the designs looking familiar Michael andell is mentioned as well with him being a prominent supporter and adviser to Trump also seeing the boardroom decorated in Christmas trees and BBL even in July I'm I'm feeling bloody christmy now homelander has discover the bug and he took this from under the table last week to slam it on the table here not a good Easter there but he's realized Cole's not the mole and is ano that Sage says they shouldn't tussle with the CIA and should let butcher die of his tumor as predicted Homeland man as ego gets in the way and he sides with firecracker because she calls him a great man also she's she's given him milk which is what he wants the most in the world a huge shout outs to Alex D cou 8426 on our last video who said that they think Sage might cure Bell's cancer as we learned last week she cured her grandmothers on paper and I think it would be a great way to take her Rock we then get a tease of a major plot point in the episode in that they've hired a shooter a literal chameleon this brings a whole new meaning to the term shape shifter in the past we've just had people like doppelganger who are able to morph into others here though she tears off her flesh and takes a likeness of the person beneath it it's reptilian which again ties in with the idea of a chameleon and it's one of the best effects that we've seen in the series so far now I say she because all the characters we see are transforming to are women we do catch Sage meeting with a man at about 8 minutes so we never find out exactly what's happening here so I do wonder if these changes are restricted to one's sex and that's why she constantly takes on the form of a woman because of this you have to go back through the series and look at it through a different lens and wonder if there's any other characters who've been here and that takes us in it's amazing I'm married me but moving on so what if right Daphne's actually this figure who's been sent into to spy on huie as we know she's had a close connection to vort and might have been sent in to keep tabs on the boys hu's dad's death would mean he's fully dependent on her and she met the rest of the group at the funeral last week it would be a great Twist on a trained being a mole in the seven and show that the seven have their own mole in the boys Daphney also hasn't been around in hu's life enough to the point where if he asked her a personal question that she'd be a suspect if she plain just didn't know so yeah I think that might be where they're going but obviously let me know your thoughts below now fragrances can be a real extension of you that expresses your unique personality and style like clothes and

Waters Run Deep I say his own book but as we know he had ghost writers in the past this includes an autobiography written by shy Buffs Ghost Rider sat next to Ambrose yeah deep ends up killing her at the end of the episode this was this was his true love and we see that he's even comfortable around her enough to take his vest off he's not L to her and is in fact just L to the seven which we symbolically see in the next shot with his and homelander picture staring at them on the bed dumping her in the tank he's out to meet sage and I wonder if he's going to be her way back into the group hilarious though how her text says stab my brain cuz obviously she has to be lobotomized to not find him repulsive we let her learn she's been hooking up with Noir to but she didn't have to lobotomize herself to be with him which is quite a good joke uh but deep through it all way and amb brose she was right in the end now another theory I have is what we get in the next scene when we cut over to Annie and huie the former tells her mother to pack up and leave and we jump over to huie sitting on his laptop you might notice there's a briman sticker on it which is where the character worked at during season 1 on screen is the file from Victoria's past which the boys got from Red River now I feel like The Shape Shifter has a secondary objective which we see at the end she takes the laptop out the safe but we could have wait to staright before seeing what happens personally though I think she's deleting these files and thus The Leverage the boys have can no longer be used she might also be spying on them and yeah lots of things they can do either way Annie's mother berates her for having an abortion and she talks about how she's put staright behind her turns out huie saved her suit though which an he hates this is another clue early on that we have a shape-shifting Starlight as she's a PO opposite with it to how she is here also with a child element I wonder if the pair will end up having one down the line potentially this could be another superpowered child who might be someone who could counteract Ryan if he ends up going bad cutting over to an establishing shot I love how you can see how they've added in the seven Tower to the skyline just on the right hand side just a nice bit of attention to detail and snowy rooftop slid of the landscape also did wonder if they set this in December so they could take things to January for the finale Dakota Bob could be sworn in and I think with them discussing so much of January 6 in the leadup to the season that they could integrate this into the story some way now now at about 19 minutes 21 we see a file in this folder for a split second it has a day Jan 6 on it so it makes me think that that's where we're going there's also clear bases around JFK with the hits being in a similar sort of fashion it's an obvious one that but definitely worth mentioning and working as an informant for the boys we see a train spying on Sage cing to the flat iron they now have a lead on their Lee Harvey Oswald buter then arrives and tells them Samir is alive and that he's been working on the virus love the way that Jeffrey Dean Morgan kind of Pops in and out the scene with them massively cutting him in and out the edit now another nice bit of attention to detail is a butcher seems a bit worse for we than usual there's more gray in his beard he looks a little paler and his eyes are starting to get bloodshot after pulling French out of jail they're then going to get him to work on the disease but you're keeping the scientist alive is similar to the comics where he used Vogal Bor in secret to make explosive compound V now Frenchie's obviously being ignoring chimico but in the end the pair work it out with some more leg amputation yeah YY this is meant to clearly mamir with a being a punish mannequin to what happened when he was captured at the seven Tower we then cut to Ryan amongst all of Prim improper gifts the one that stands out to him is a package from Billy inside this is a photo of Billy Becker and Tera which I think symbolizes a lot with the character Ryan could easily live this life luxury with expensive gifts and bubls but the thing that he's drawn to is something real though he's got motorbikes wrapped up in piles of presents it's all surface level things that don't really matter what matters to him is this rather than what B are giving him shout outs to editor map for also pointing out the sender name is dant T be which is a odd to butches gamer tag which is don't be a the seven Tower address is 17776 Avenue with 1777 being the air of the American Revolution back at the flat iron milk putts but are back in charge and we get two scenes that reflect each other the first is milk trying to run away and escape with his family on the opposite side of this is a train and Ashley who want to run away milk wrestles with it and it initially seems like he doesn't take the deal after being kissed by Marie he does come around at the end with him refusing to walk away from his juty he just wants Marie and Janine safe which is also murder than Ashley she spotted her assistant Gregory which we learn was for his own protection she just wanted him to get away from the tower and th she did it as an act of Mercy she says it's so easy to become a monster around here and clearly has regret over getting Cameron killed now we find out that V have gone public with it but that his deaths being blamed and the flu vaccine you know what that's playing off of and I'm going to have to skir around it unfortunately as YouTube has a habit of instantly demonetizing any video discussing it however it shows a spin at vard and how they're sewing mistrust while telling people they're the only ones telling the truth they also quote Jenny mcarthy who's been publicly critical of vaccines now kesla mocks Billy for starting to like the soups and also brings up him sleeping with mave this happened in season 3 episode 5 and he's trying to sell the idea of genocide again in order for this to happen butcher can't can't see the sups as humans which is a tactic that's been used throughout history so he's trying to steer him away from caring about Ryan and the fact that he gave his word to Becca because he has all his memories he brings up how she obviously didn't mean much to him because as we find out he cheated on her with a waitress Billy gave up drinking after it but it's obviously going to make him question himself at the Assassin's apartment they discover a woman tied up but she's of course revealed to be the killer there's a number 11 outside the building with that also being the issue in the comics where the group go to Moscow and find a way to destroy the soups once and for all this was through using a radio signal that supercharged the V within their systems whereas in the show it is of course the virus rushing through the building and tearing her skin off it's such a cool way to visualize shape shifting it kind of reminds me of the transformations in Van heling where they'd literally tear their skin off really cool way to visualize change and they managed to escape hu's hand has also occur pretty badly and I did wonder if the shape shifter was going to become him too however they get his DNA later on in more ways one so I don't know if this is going to lead to anything either way we see a train showing up to milks as he prints off his boarding pass and he talks about the kid at the hospital last week that meant more to him than anything before and he saw the potential Joy his powers could actually bring however milk talks about his worries and how the fight with vort and his family in the road trip during season 2 he brought up how his grandfather was killed by his soup and his dad died of stress trying to get Justice the panic attacks are now the beginning of this and thus he wants to leave before the same thing thing happens however if he runs away then his family aren't going to have much of a world left to live in for's going to take over and yet it puts a lot of weight on his shoulders now we learned that he's going to bise which is a really deep cut reference to Breaking Bad screen ran done a big article breaking this down with Shan call Esposito starring as both Edgar and Gus Fring during season one Edgar said to still well that when he retired he was going to Biz and Breaking Bad Soul Goodman brought up bise as well with a phrase setting him to bise meaning to kill someone now is going to need some new clothes for the trip and the guys should definitely check out our merch store right below the video in that we've got our me and the boys tea which I love wearing it's me favorite meme and we also have ones for House of the dragon and we've just launched our Sith happens one for the acolyte definitely check them out as we're using high quality fabric that sticks tight around the pecs and hangs loose around the waist so it shows off the best parts of your body you're going to look smashing me and huge thank you to everyone who's picked one up cutting across the Samir we see him willing to do the work as long as it's taking out homelander and not Vicki or his daughter fren she led Enzo going to Kimo and apologizing with her telling him the truth about Shining Light we learned the reason that she can't speak is because the girls were forced to fight each other and told the first to cry out losers it was only when those in charge allowed her to speak that she did this trained her to be a Silent Assassin with her refusing to make a noise she regrets what she did though and says that she'd rather have died than do what she did to those girls she hates herself for it and it reflects Frenchie's past in which he killed Colin's family now the pair are looking to forgive themselves with forgiveness being a big theme in the season it's been with huy and his mother huie and at train homelander in the lab well he didn't really forgive them firecracker and Annie and Colin and Frenchie we also have Kimo and her friend well not her friend but you know what I mean forgiveness is L throughout the season but the characters have to learn to forgive themselves we also get Soulja Boy on a party of Vigo magazine which is a nice little in Universe satire now with Homeland we seees he leaves Ryan a voicemail telling him to suck it up and do the puppet show it shows how different their relationship has become as he told them earlier in the season to not do super school now though he's putting the pressure on I think we're eventually going to see him turn against his dad however what makes the scene Stand Out is who's in the cell this is the same cell that may was stuck in last season with it being capable of holding a superp where Weaver's here and he's confessed to being the mole due to his addiction we learn he'll say anything to get his fix wasn't him though and I love how he just nervously keeps fighting throughout the scene fed up with him homelander still tears him apart with it being a very gory death it's akin to one of the Cent's biggest kills and something I still remember reading for the first time now with deep we Seas he returns from Sage which is given a clue to us due to the fact he's carrying junk food this is the same one she's been eating throughout the season and and sorry guy if you're watching this I'm sure it's lovely thumbs up buy it brosia tries to fight for Dee and She lays it all out till the Swinton does an incredible job playing this heartbroken octopus and hearing her slowly die it's heartbreaking Matt pointed out this is also really similar to Deadpool's death in Deadpool 2 with being long drawn out and over the top the funny thing is deep could have been happy with Ambrosia if he just put the pursuit of respect to the side this is AK to mother's milk who could be happy if he wasn't so focused on Revenge deep has finally turned on the creatures of the sea and yeah guys fully gone off the deep end this is a shame because she was willing to touch his gills RS everyone else has been repulsed by by them telling homelander I'll your goddamn fish in the ocean if you say so he's once more become his assassin this builds off the back of season 3 with them killing political opponents under homelanders Direction Ambrosia's words are unfortunately true none of the people in the seven actually care about him and homelanders willing to crush them like bugs cing to where he left the den from the surveillance bug before we see his picture on the ceiling staring down now it takes on a more ominous and horrifying tone and I love how this once heroic image is now being being Twisted to be malevolent now who else is packing things up is Victoria with Huey asking her to stop she's obviously getting a massive boost in her career and it makes sense that she's moving on from this place he brings snacks though and earlier in the season she talked about him buying them for Zoe's comfort food which is something the pet bonded over she's moving up in the world but it's going to be a drastically different one the camps and the way things are going they're heading into a fascist dictatorship Victoria is making a deal with the devil in which she thinks she and her daughter will be be safe however they'll likely just be mindless drones like the deep in black noir at the flat iron they've come to take out Butcher and Annie we can also see the name of the office the boys work out of is a nod to arvinder greywall who worked as a production designer for the show before he sadly passed away in 2020 parallactic attacked the office during issue 61 with this being a slight nod to it we then get Billy saying sure you ain't too busy tongue lushing Your octopusy deeped Den is as though we did hear earlier your tongue is like an outboard motor yeah I came so many times now it leads into a big action scene with it being reminiscent of the one from The Punisher in that the Punisher fought the Russian and had loads of weapons hidden throughout his apartment in case anyone came knocking this is mirrored here too as the area is lace with weapons hidden everywhere buter busts out a crowbar as well which is what he used on the original black noir in the comics normally I'd say that sort of thing for a spoiler section but they're clearly not going that rout so he has your little Easter egg also I love how they show you how difficult is soup s to kill as they have a literal minigun ready in Waiting mother's milk arrives and uses it and we see bullets spill out under the floor similar to the helicopter seen in The Matrix we also learn that the new Noir is noptic meaning that he's unable to control when he's awake or asleep obviously it's the kind of weakness that will play in down the line and it's sort of like how the original Noir had a peanut allergy it buys them a bit of time and a train also arrives and saves the day with him admitting that he always hated the Deep the pair went to the Church of the collective as well with a train screwing him over a bit and taking his spot in the seven returning to Ashley he tells her he's been made but she refuses to join him also nice bit of Amazon product placement as she asks her Echo to play the Dave Matthews chill mix won't say the name cuz it might set Yours off and as much as I hate you mate I'd never subject you to that thumbs UPS right there mate now she reminds a trying to cut out his tracking chip and I do wonder if he's even going to appear in the finale last week I predicted that he might be caught and kill but he's been ahead of the curve and it seems like he got away you also took his family with him so any leverage wad is now non-existent either way the person who doesn't flee is Ashley and we see her staring at a photo of herself in her youth I spent my junior year abroad in Florence we could just go we could go doing the classic middle fingers up in the air she hasn't shaved her own pits and is wearing a shake ofar Top This is obviously her standing up against the system but now she's become an integral part of it I remember listening to a podcast about the usage of sha and how he's been sold on t-shirts worldwide initially he was meant to represents standing up to the system but now his face is printed on t-shirts or mask to then funnel money into said system he's become a rebellious figure that's used for profit by corporations which sums up Ashley's entire character she's crippled by her fear and this has been seen by her shredding her resignation all the way up to this anyway over at the bar we see the gang drowning their sorrows which is when the shape shifter takes a selfie with starlighter I love how the shape shifting is kind of similar to the T1000 and that they have to touch someone before they can mimic them The Shape Shifter does end up gassing hero so I think this is more just them to take a little bit of satisfaction it's also likely that this gas is in fact noar which is what they had to use on soldja boy as it's an extremely powerful gas that can be used to sedate soups mother's milk then says goodbye to Marie with him turning down running off into the sunset with her back at seven Tower we see homelander breaking down about a train with him being devastated he's gone guy keeps getting betrayed because he tries to hold everyone in place and most people always Rebel when they feel they've lost their Freedom his personality makes him always want to be dominant which is exactly why he's setting up in tournament camps Sage reveals she knew a train was the leak and had been using him as a way to only leak the information she wanted she's clearly been keeping tabs on who he was going to and this is how she knew about Janine last week sent back to Detroit she leaves her brave M diary which could hold the secrets to her ultimate plan as speaking of plans samima set his Escape Plan by stabbing Kimo with the virus though it seems like the work May now all be down the drain they now have a sample of the virus in Kimo's leg and when I was a kid Steal My Sunshine by Len was my favorite song so I love it usage here Kimiko also wraps her GIF with that knees bit on it cutting a little deeper now in a parallel to homelander we see Ryan standing up during the broadcast and speaking out we get this bit go to commercial no don't go to commercial which is a reference to this commercial Roger go toing commercial don't you dare stop rolling Roger so talking about his mother this has made him realize people shouldn't be going against their families but in doing so he's also standing up to his dad buter ends up collapsing though and yeah it's going to be interesting to see if he makes it through the finale with huie we then see him getting lucky with the shape shifter but it is a ruse to get access to the laptop I also wonder if having hu's DNA is going to allow The Shape Shifter to get closer to the boys potentially if they can work their way up the team they may even get access directly to singer this could be how the assassinations pulled off and yeah the plan's kind of falling into place and that leads us into the finale next week with a shape shifter now amongst the group horiz so walk Give It Away with them flickering which is similar to Mystique in the X-Men movies and he's chained up and everyone's being played and yeah I'm very excited to see where we go next week now that takes us into the comic heavy spoiler stuff namely what happens with the Deep so if you don't want to know then check out now and huge thank you for checking out the video anyway I do wonder if the Deep being Left Alive welcome back around in the comics he was one of the only good members of the seven with him not really being inside Homeland as click he even ended up joining a slightly different group called the true and they may build that into the character surviving this in the comics he was the only black person in an allh group and the hood was deliberately molded on the Klux Clan obviously a lot of racial subtext there and though they can't do this one for one with the deep I do think the Deep might end up in another group as for next week we know the episode's called assassination run due to the January 6 clue I think we can figure things out and exactly how this is going to go down now in the comics it was Vic the V who killed Dakota Bob with him unleashing a wolverine on the president however there he wasn't a soup oras for the show Victoria is so I feel like she's going to be instrumental in killing him though they might just use the Assassin they can probably infiltrate the group eia and yeah I think either or with them and we also have Edgar out there as well after being saved by Victoria he might end up turning against her and siding with homelander I think he could really sell her on how devastating it could be and how she's had to turn her daughter into a monster to be safe now in the comics homelander ends up storming the White House with the soups which is a Direction they could take things the show does seem to be leading towards that with homelander seizing all the power in the country the creative team have also talking about how they based homelander on Trump so that seems like the most likely way they're going to go with it who knows though but just basing things off the comics and what the creative team have said I do think that's the way they're going to go obviously let me know your thoughts below though as I'd love to hear your theories so I can steal them again huge shout out to senit for sponsoring today's video and make sure you
