The Boys: Season 5 Predictions

As a long-time fan of The Boys comic series and someone who has watched the show unfold season after season, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation as we approach the final chapter of this gritty, dark tale. Having witnessed Ryan Butcher’s tumultuous upbringing at the hands of his traumatized mother, his abusive guardians, and eventually his psychopathic father, Homelander, I can’t help but wonder what fate lies ahead for the young man.

After the conclusion of Season 4, the nearly concluding narrative thread of “The Boys” unfolds. It has been announced that Season 5 will serve as the final chapter of this series, providing a resolution to the ongoing storyline that began when the show first premiered in 2019.

The final episode of Season 4 ended mysteriously, sparking numerous queries among viewers. What’s next for The Boys? What’s Sister Sage up to? And when can we expect Homelander’s downfall? Though these answers are set to be revealed in Season 5, fans and spectators have already begun sharing their theories.

10 Firecracker Will Die Early On

Homelander’s #1 Fan Won’t Last

The Boys: Season 5 Predictions

In Season 4, Firecracker joined The Seven as a fresh recruit, discovered by Sister Sage, also a recent addition. This lively, redneck character didn’t possess the most beneficial abilities; she could merely generate sparks from her fingers.

Instead of contributing positively to the team as expected, Firecracker chose an unconventional approach by unearthing past secrets about Starlight and became reliant on medication. However, this medication brought about unwanted side effects such as heart palpitations and coughing fits, which were significantly in Season 4’s finale. It seems unlikely that Firecracker will make it past the halfway mark of Season 5.

9 The Deep Will Receive His Comeuppance

The Death Of The Sea Man

Ever since Kevin Moskowitz, also known as The Deep, made his debut among The Boys, he has stood out as one of the most comically unfortunate characters. His apparent lack of intelligence and marine life exploits provide ample material for ridicule. However, it’s important to note that The Deep’s origins were darker than we initially thought. In one of his earliest scenes, he attacked Starlight.

Despite enduring a brutal attack from Starlight in the past, it’s likely that the story will inflict further pain on the hapless Hughie. Some perceptive viewers have pointed out that, despite being her boyfriend, Hughie has yet to confront Starlight’s assailant in the series. It’s possible that a future scene may bring these two together for a final showdown and justice for both women.

8 Compound V Will Change Ashley

Vought CEO Turned Monster

Ashley Barrett is the right-hand woman to Madelyn Stillwell, turned CEO of Vought, turned verbal punching bag for Homelander. Ashley’s time on the show has been characterized by the constant fear that at any moment, the other supes will decide they no longer need her. This fear became a reality in the Season 4 finale, when she was written at the top of the list of Vought employees whom The Seven need to kill to clean away the dirt collected on them.

In an attempt to turn herself into a superhuman being and ensure her survival, Ashley administers Compound V in her arm during a critical moment. The audience was introduced to Ashley’s evolving superpowers in the Season 4 finale, but some viewers theorize that her bizarre skull transformation might be a disguised manifestation of distress-induced hairy tentacles.

7 A-Train Will Die Saving The Boys

A Deadly Redemption Arc

In “The Boys,” A-Train played a pivotal role by carelessly using his super-speed to take the life of Hughie’s girlfriend, drawing him into Butcher’s vengeful quest. Since that tragic event, A-Train has been on a lengthy journey of making amends. He joined forces with The Boys against The Seven and even risked his own life to save Mother’s Milk during Season 4.

From my gaming perspective as a fan of “The Boys,” I’ve come to learn that by the end of Season 4, A-Train, the traitor among The Seven, was exposed and managed to flee with his loved ones. It won’t be surprising if he resurfaces for the grand finale, siding with The Boys in their battle against Homelander and his emerging superhero militia. However, it’s important to remember that given the unpredictable nature of this series, there’s a good chance A-Train might not make it all the way to the final episode.

6 Butcher’s Arc Will Match The Comics

A Corrupt Soul Corrupted Further

As a gamer, I’ve noticed a significant change in the portrayal of Butcher between the comics and the TV series. In the comics, Butcher is unapologetically ruthless, showing no mercy or compassion. However, in the TV adaptation, I observe a new side to this character. Sure, he’s still a formidable enforcer, but there are moments where he displays sympathy and empathy that were previously unknown to me in the comic books. It’s intriguing how the creators have added depth to this complex character while retaining his brutal essence.

In the final episode of Season 4, Butcher succumbs to his inner demons and heeds the call from Joe Kessler’s ghost. He utilizes his enhanced abilities gained from Compound V and his tumors to brutally take the life of Victoria Neuman against his team’s objections. The Butcher who emerged at the season’s end exhibits a chilling level of violence that surpasses his comic book counterpart.

5 Sister Sage Will Betray Homelander

Like Caesar

In Season 4, Sister Sage joined The Seven, brought in by Homelander to enhance his power over Vought and possibly the entire world. Throughout the season, Sage experienced numerous twists and turns. However, it was later uncovered that she orchestrated many, if not all, of the events herself. Her goal at the beginning of the season was to put her theories into practice on a grand scale and determine if she could succeed. Ultimately, despite the chaos that ensued, Sage managed to accomplish just that.

In Season 5, some fans anticipate that Sister Sage could take a different path. While in the previous season she orchestrated events to enhance Homelander’s power, now she may attempt to bring him down instead, out of curiosity.

4 Ryan Will Have to Kill Either Butcher or Homelander

Death of Father Figures

Born to the traumatized Becca Butcher, who passed away, and the dangerous Homelander, Ryan Butcher’s life was destined to be marked by chaos from the start. In Season 2, his mother kept him insulated from the world. In Season 3, he was raised by both Butcher and Grace Mallory, but things didn’t go well. In Season 4, Homelander took charge of raising him, resulting in an even more disastrous outcome.

Ryan has a complicated relationship with his two paternal figures, Butcher and Homelander, as their bitter rivalry frequently leads to conflicts between them. Given the impressive power sets they possess, there’s growing speculation that the situation could escalate, potentially resulting in one of them taking the other’s life or even being compelled to defend themselves against Ryan.

3 Homelander Will Finally Be Defeated

A Long Awaited Conclusion

Since the beginning of the show, the primary objective has been to eliminate Homelander, a powerful yet deranged ‘superhero’. His destructive behavior has significantly impacted numerous lives, most notably that of Billy Butcher, whose wife met her demise as a result of his misdeeds.

Over the past few seasons, The Boys have thought up various possibilities for defeating Homelander. With Season 5 marking the end of their storyline, it seems inevitable that Homelander’s reign will soon come to an end. And what better way to bring about this conclusion than having The Butcher deliver the final blow? This much-awaited showdown is guaranteed to be a gory spectacle.

2 Butcher Will Be the Final Villain

A Foreshadowed End

As a gamer, I’m not at all shocked that Butcher is bringing a harsher edge to his gameplay in Season 5. However, some fans might be taken aback by just how far he’s willing to go in his ultimate showdown against the superheroes. For those who have followed the comic series, it’s no secret that our antagonist Butcher will be the one we need to take down in the end. Once most of the major threats from the superhero squad have been neutralized, it will be up to us, the players, to tackle the final boss: none other than Butcher himself.

The production of this show significantly varies from the original comic plot, yet certain elements align. One such instance may be this: Butcher could serve as the final challenge for the primary characters before they regain tranquility in their lives.

1 Hughie Will Be The One Who Has to Kill Butcher

A Grisly Conclusion

An intriguing theory circulating among some viewers is that in “The Boys,” Butcher may ultimately emerge as the main antagonist. However, an intriguing twist suggested by others is that the final act could involve Hughie taking Butcher’s life instead.

As a devoted fan of “The Boys” comic book series, I can’t help but ponder over the possible outcomes of its final arcs. It’s intriguing to consider Butcher’s plan, which aims to eradicate every superhuman being from existence. This theory isn’t far-fetched when we think about how the story might unfold in Season 5.
