The Boys: episode 4 crosses all limits with a completely unleashed Homelander

If you thought you had seen everything in the series “The Boys”, you will be pleasantly surprised by episode 4. Indeed, Homelander goes wild like never before, crossing all limits of audacity and provocation. Once again, the series proves to us that it knows how to keep us in suspense and surprise us, for our greatest pleasure.

Homelander: A Dive into Madness

This is an episode which marks a decisive turning point in the series The Boys. The fourth episode recently aired on Amazon Prime Video depicts a Homelander more wild than ever. From the first minutes, we know that this episode is not going to spare its spectators. He pushes back all the limits of the bearable and ventures into still unexplored territories.

A series of shocking scenes

This new episode is marked by a succession of horrifying moments. Homelander, in a fit of extreme violence, forces an old scientist friend to attempt to masturbate in front of a room full of his colleagues, threatening him with laser castration.

Unable to comply, the man ends up suffering this radical punishment, which, unsurprisingly, kills him instantly.

But this horror is only the beginning. The episode focuses on Homelander facing his painful past.

We thus discover how he was tortured and psychologically manipulated by these scientists to test his powers and make him obedient.

However, far from arousing pity, Homelander’s acts of vengeance against his tormentors are difficult to justify.

The episode ends with a series of acts of unprecedented violence: Homelander burns a man alive in an oven, shreds several others and leaves the leader of the team alive, but surrounded by the bloodied remains of his colleagues.

The atmosphere is dark and oppressive, even for a series like The Boys which has accustomed us to graphic scenes.

Antony Starr at his peak

This episode allows Anthony Starr to deliver an exceptional performance. His portrayal of a completely unleashed Homelander is gripping and adds welcome depth to his character.

This performance undoubtedly deserved recognition to Emmy Awards.

One might wonder why Homelander chooses this specific moment to seek revenge. After decades of keeping his childhood traumas to himself, it seems he has reached a point of no return, surpassing anything he had done before in terms of gratuitous violence.

From abandoning passengers on a plane to accidental deaths, Homelander crossed a new threshold with this episode.

In summary, this fourth episode of The Boys is a deeply disturbing but nonetheless unmissable experience for fans of the series. It offers an intense and disturbing exploration of the character of Homelander, while also hinting at an equally gripping sequel. S

If you are ready to face scenes of rare violence and a psychologically complex plot, this episode is not to be missed.
