00:00Welcome back everyone it is Amelia I hope you are fine.

00:10The boys season 4 is past the halfway point and thankfully some momentum has been achieved.

00:15The titular team is at an all-time low after Starlight channeled her anger into Firecracker's

00:21face and Butcher caused havoc at her rally.

00:23In the latest episode, Butcher's larger plan begins to take shape even as he remains

00:28a foul-mouthed thorn in everyone's sides.

00:31The Gen V soup virus has finally made its way to the world of the boys and, with the

00:36help of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Joe Kessler, Butcher is on the hunt for it, leading to

00:40a team-up with Stan Edgar.

00:42Along with the return of the former Watts CEO, some returning characters, a tragic ending

00:47for one another, and an outrageous sequence involving flying carnivorous sheep makes for

00:52another solid entry in season 4.

00:55Butcher, Starlight, M.M., Frenchie, and Kimiko all head upstate with Stan Edgar to search

01:00for the soup virus, leading to Victoria Newman's secret laboratory where animals were experimented

01:06on.

01:07When Newman shows up, a tense search for the virus and Newman's child's father, a lab

01:11tech who works in her lab, is underway.

01:13Everything about this location change is a welcome shift for the boys season 4, which

01:18so far has stuck to the grimy and grey streets of New York.

01:21It's all still pretty grim.

01:23The upstate farm is covered in snow and as grey as it gets, but it allows the series

01:28to stretch its legs and get a little freaky with it.

01:31So who is matching the boys freak?

01:33A gang of man-eating sheep and tentacle-having chickens.

01:36After being dosed with wee by Newman's lab tech, things have gone very wrong at the farm

01:40and Butcher and the gang must fight off the bloodthirsty animals to make it out alive.

01:45It's one of the more outlandish sequences this season, and it just shows that the boys

01:50doesn't need to try too hard to be freaky and fun.

01:53Sometimes, flying sheep with razor-sharp teeth is all you need.

01:57Yugi's plan to give his father wee was always going to end badly, and it's strange that

02:02one of the series' more cautious characters was so willing to take this risk.

02:06It's Yugi's estranged mother who ultimately gives Yugi Sr. the wee, and the consequences

02:11are fittingly tragic.

02:12Simon Pegg, Jack Wade, and Rosemary DeWitt make the most of this story.

02:17Even if Yugi's mother, Daphne, doesn't feel fully fleshed out quite yet, this doesn't

02:22dull the emotional impact of Yugi Sr.'s inevitable demise, though.

02:26And once the consequences of the wee take hold, he accidentally kills several people

02:31in a bloody hospital rampage.

02:33Even though Pegg's presence was always minimal, it was most welcome, and it's sad to see him

02:38go with Yugi and Yugi Sr. sharing one final, heart-wrenching scene.

02:43Meanwhile, Homelander is still on the verge of a nervous breakdown, numb after the massacre

02:48at the Watt Lab in Episode 4 that saw him murder everyone except Barbara.

02:52He continues taking this out on Ryan, and young star Cameron Covetti continues to give

02:57a layered performance as the evil Soup's son.

03:00Otherwise, The Seven isn't given much to do as the boys moves everything into place for

03:05its final few episodes of Season 4.

03:07Butcher slyly saves Newman's lab assistant to develop more of the Soup virus, and it

03:12seems that he may continue giving in to his worst impulses, much to everyone else's consternation.

03:18Right now, it's hard to see how everything will come together.

03:21But like Butcher's plan, things are beginning to fall into place.

03:25Give me some ideas related to my video in comments on below if you like this video and
