The Boys (Season 4) - Here we go again

 


The Boys' fans eagerly anticipated this new season and all the craziness it would bring. As happens often, when you have too high expectations, some are seriously disappointed.

It's not that the show didn't deliver what it promised. The audience had too much time to create their own theories and guess situations, and some of them… were extremely defrauded.

Kimiko and Frenchy


One of the most criticized situations in the first three episodes was Frenchy's relationship with a man. Most fans imagined that he would end up in a romantic relationship with Kimiko.

Sure, they ignored previous mentions of his bisexuality or that Kimiko rejected him. Honestly, I wanted them to be together, but the whole point of this show is to drive us insane with all sorts of unexpected situations.

Starlight


People can't stop commenting on Erin Moriarty's appearance. Yes, she looks very different, but so does Laz Alonso (MM), and it's okay. Why so much fuss (and critics) about her?

People are also unhappy with Starlight's development, but let's face it, she was a bit annoying since day 1. She is one of my least favorite characters in the show.

Shocking?


I've seen some news about how The Boys' fans were shocked and disgusted by a few scenes. I have to laugh. I'm pretty sure no one who watched (and liked) previous seasons of this show was shocked by anything they saw here. Maybe a bit surprised…

To tell you the truth, it is kind of ridiculous. So, people think that a butthole or a bunch of guys having some fun in the sauna is shocking, but all violence, blood, and crashed skulls are okay. Priorities are getting wild, aren't they?

Homelander still controversial


For now, the best part of the story is Homelander struggling with aging and becoming less relevant. He is desperate to create a relationship with his son, but he simply can't. He is unable to do it, and he is getting jealous of the kid, which is sad.

Some fans really seem to care for the character, and these little bits of vulnerability the writers put in him are precisely for that. He is the crazy villain you are not supposed to like, but you may sometimes feel sorry for him.

What is to come?


I only watched the first three episodes, and I felt like they were giving us context for what comes next. I didn't like the first one, but it is getting better, and I am hoping for a great season from now on.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

  Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed.  This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

  In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
