MonoRants... The Boys

We're back one more time to talk Season 3 of The Boys. But this time we're discussing our listeners and followers thoughts, and we bring on our first ever guest; Billy Butcher Apologist @butcherscanary. Join us as we rant our way through your thoughts on President Homelander, Mr. & Mrs. Starlight, Maeve's happy ending and the Season Finale.

Thanks to our contributors and Special Thanks to ButchersCanary for the guest appearance and always making us look for the good in Billy Butcher.

All good things must come to and end and we've already reached the end of Season 3 of The Boys. We have our usual chat about the season as a whole breaking down some of our favourite and our not so favourite bits, as well as everything in between. So jump into a rant about the fun in hating characters, Supersonic being the best nice guy ever, Fudgy Superpowers, that canon episode from Diabolical and whatever else popped into our heads.

It's Season Finale time and nobody is going to get out of this one unscathed (except for Todd, but dicks cant live forever). Butcher & Soldier Boy ditch Hughie on their way to Vought, forcing him to rejoin the rest of the boys with his tail between his legs. Maeve makes an escape of her own and joins the gang as they plan their attack on Soldier Boy. Homelander finally finds Ryan and sets about destroying his team so he can build a family. But when all sides meet at Vought Tower, he might just lose it all. This rant was sponsored by Mono & Ciara's Covid induced delusions.

In the penultimate episode of Season Three, Butcher, Hughie & Soldier Boy head off to find MindStorm, which leads to unexpected revelations for all three. Annie and the rest of The Boys try to figure out how to stop them, while Homelander goes Q-Anon in his public attacks against Starlight. Deep introduces a friend to Cassandra, A-Train is reintroduced to the land of the living and we are introduced to (and traumatized by) Black Noir's Saturday morning cartoon backstory.

It's time for the main event. We covered all the lame plot and character stuff, now lets get to the sex! Only it wasn't maybe as depraved as Mono & Ciara expected. In part two of our Herogasm rant we talk Deep's new friend, Bluehawk's fitting end, Hughie being a bully, saying bye to a bunch of Supes, Kripke's first cameo and we decide if we just have no boundaries or if the orgy was actually pretty tame.

Well it happened again folks. We lost the run of ourselves ranting about the biggest episode of The Boys so far with Herogasm. There's a hell of a lot to cover in this episode so we decided to do a two parter. Join us for part one as we rant about Black Noir's runner, Homelander's mirror madness, Soldier Boy adjusting to modern life, MM on the rampage and Vic's chat with Annie. Then we get real ranty when we ask if Little Nina is boring and whether she should have come back at all?

Sorry guys, we got a little bit carried away this week in a record that originally was well over two hours. But we've left only the rantiest and best bits in of course, as we talk about how... Soldier Boy lands to the US with a score to settle as The Boys return having fallen apart. Ashley gets a promotion, A-Train gets his apology and Maeve gets a retreat in Malibu as Homelander plays big boss man. Butcher and his mini me form a truce with MM to track down Soldier Boy with a little help from a legendary friend and Crimson Countess gets a literal blast from the past.

The boys head to Russia to track down the Supe killing weapon. Hughie sinks deeper into despair, Frenchie escorts Kimiko to a very special party and MM has a hard conversation with Butcher; before they finally get what they're after. But it comes with a high price. Over at Vought, Homelander almost has full control over The Seven, while Stan's attempt to get Victoria to discipline Homelander backfires dramatically. Annie's plan to bring other heroes into the fold ends disastrously for a new recruit and we ask if the Trailer spoiled too much.

Homelander is on the offensive again now that his popularity is unexpectedly on the rise. With the slots on The Seven almost filled, he decides to throw a spanner in the works by bringing The Deep back. Annie tries to warn Supersonic about Vought, but may end up needing his help after Homelander publicly declares his love for her. The Boys gets answers from Mallory and Payback gets a backstory, while Frenchie tries to help Cherie. Butcher reaches a crossroads with Ryan, and we just can't f*cking understand little miss pageants.

Hughie struggles to deal with the fallout of his discovery as he digs deeper into Neuman's past, while Homelander's birthday goes from bad to worse to terrifying. Butcher, Frenchie and Kimiko hunt down Soldier Boy's old Payback teammates as MM breaks down over his obsession but gets some unexpected support and direction. Deep gets a movie, A-Train gets ideas, Annie shows Supersonic how to make waves and we ponder the overall lack of Black Noir. *COMICS SPOILERS*
