The Deep is a writer favorite because of the actor's portrayal. https://www.slashfilm.com/946462/the-boys-writers-wont-deny-playing-favorites-with-the-deep/

Gunpowder disputed Butcher's info although Butcher claimed to have proof...

It may just indicate that they are flawed reactionary characters operating without all of the facts because they made assumptions and Hughie never explained about the ptsd, etc.

Or Grace wants him for the same reason that Butcher was using him. She will use him to take out HL and save Ryan. Mallory is a major player in the comics.

Not to mention that.Highie never shared the fact that his ptsd caused the big blow-up explosions that killed multiple individuals. He could do controlled blasts and he actually wasn't an evil murderer just on a payback mission. There was never an attempt by the 2 team members who actually hung with him to explain what he was like. If Hughie had done so, the obvious... HL would've neutralized. Most of the intraweb is expecting to see him in s 4.

https://ew.com/tv/black-noir-nathan-mitchell-recast-the-boys-season-4/ Link about Black Noir recasting same actor. Ugh. I just read that plotlines from Varsity will be interwoven into season 4. Not sure I care about rando college supes.

Maybe I misread. I am pretty stressed these days. I thought it was odd... but I am pretty sure he was talking up the actor. I guess HL would have him cloned or somesuch because he did seem to care. It's just lazy writing. Worse than the whipping up deadly nerve gas in the lab in a jiffy nonsense. The great fight scene was not enough to overcome the nonsense.

I am slightly younger than you and agree completely. Times have changed. Jensen totally nailed this.

My understanding is that the same actor is going to play him. I read that somewhere. I originally thought that it would be a HL clone per comic source material but now I wonder if it's a Noir clone.

Mallory will also be involved because she is invested and he is her surrogate grandchild. She will release SB. I think we will get a big showdown eventually. Very annoyed at the writing of that final. Could have been better. Parts did work. Would have liked to see more supes depowered. Ridiculous not to depower HL... But that does veer way of the source material.

Great accolades for JA's performance. https://www.slashfilm.com/918329/the-boys-season-3-gives-jensen-ackles-the-spotlight-he-deserves/

I would have bought that Vought had a weaponized supply on hand and they just needed to break into the lab. You nailed the logistics. He definitely had the wrong PPE and should be dead. That did not look like the proper respirator for gases at all. He was in danger from Maeve and SB. If they had stayed on mission they would have succeeded.

If he gets fat HL will kill him.

Victoria. Hughie has taken 3 doses which is lethal. I assume he is also dying I also assume that either he or SL took some permanent V when they had the opportunity. That is the obvious solution. SB stays on mission no matter what. His words cut. Do not cross him. His skill set means minimum collat6dajage but he's powerful and he will complete his mission so there will be collateral damage. He is a big dick. That's him in a nut shell.. They did not give us racist or even that he behaved like Blue Hawk. That's extreme extrapolation. I wish that they had explained the car throwing more. Why toss a car. I knew Ryan would show up and throw the proverbial wrench. I am going to assume that This will lead to Payback revenge tour 2.0.

Sam caused the Apocalypse and released the Darkness by removing the Mo and Dean tried to stop him both times. Sam would not listen. Butcher was on temp V and surbivedca blast before... yes. Frenchie... Hughie Okay. Makes more sense. Well they should have risk assessed and planned for the blast which was obvious.. they were at Vought with SL and all should have shot up permanent V or stayed out of the fight. You are either IN or out They f'd it up and HL is out there corrupting Ryan who is possibly stronger

Don't forget that he also removed the MoC and released the Darkness despite dire warnings not to because... yada yada yada.... People die. SB stayed on mission... just like he did with Mindstorm. Maeve stayed on mission until she Sasha that SB was going to blow and SL making those eyes. It was a pity because he really should have blown in the building and she could have also shielded Ryan as well MM would be dead but he knew the odds going in.

I think Mallory will go scorched earth like Butcher did this season. The question is when. She will release him to take out HL to save Ryan. She won't care about collateral damage especially Butcher. No way Frenchie could whip that up like that. That scene is what destroyed the episode for me. Why use an easy get out of jail card like that. Simply say that Vought has it and break in. That would be believable.

Yes. And they want you to make that connection.

We saw fighting skills, mad knife skills, shooting and furious shield rage. We never saw car throwing. Why throw a car. This needed explanation especially because it relates to MM's origin story and quest. Big fail. I do see the scene with Mallory and SB as a cliffhanger. Ryan was a new beginning for her having lost her grandchildren to supes. She is the new Butcher for s 4. I do not see why she wouldn't shoot up some V once she's exhausted all other avenues and release Him. He may say... give me a hit. I need laser eyes of my own. It's a good tactical decision. Weapon up. He was betrayed by his team.

Jason Mamoa would like a word. He literally saves the lives of the Justice League from drowning. The current films are showing that his skill set is effective.

No one should have been worried about Ryan in the blast. The normals were the ones in danger.

French should be dead mixing it up wearing that mask for protection. That did not look lie appropriate PPE for the world's deadliest neurotoxin. Ashley deleted the video because of what HL did to Noir.

I don't know that he's villainy glorious per se. He strikes me as being the epitome of what the Greeks meant when they said "Nothing in Excess". He is everything in excess and it makes him magnificently flawed. He is super everything. Super jerk, super dick, rage monster, super everything... HL disemboweled his only friend for keeping a secret and is using that to keep the others in line. That is a villain. He loves his son apparently and this one redeeming quality saved him. And sure it's bad to knock a child out but that child has laser eyes strong enough to kill his mother and maim Stormfront beyond repair. SB had to incapacitate him to complete the mission. I hope that thei let him out too. He will have a new mission now.

I saw SB rejecting HL a mile away for not being manly. They telegraphed it with his bad daddy backstory too. The sins of the fathers... Notice Hughie's emotional growth is recognizing that his father being there for him always was actually strength. You are soot on that Butcher gave HL an opening with Ryan however the scene at the end was chilling. HL got the pass because he was caring for and protecting Ryan. He prioritized his son and it saved his life. SB lashed out a Ryan in anger and quickly neutralized a threat. He wasn't going to kill the kid. Butcher knew that. SB wasn't dangerous again until seriously threatened and was about to blow which took so long it was ridiculous. Why didn't anyone ever explain about the ptsd. There's a difference between someone that kills for the disloyalty of keeping a secret versus hanging up on you and incompacitating you, etc. Oops. It would he interesting for SB to get out for Payback 2.0.

Second thought: I was expecting a Mexican standoff cf complicated by Ryan... exactly what we got. I also expected Noir to die. I did like Hughie turning up the lights to help Starlight. Everything working out perfectly, everything being tied up in a bow.... that did not work for me. It was too soon. Too much up in air and then everything was awesome. HL's love for his son was surprisingly touching. Ryan is a mess. Power corrupts. Maeve"s save was great. They probably needed a longer episode to pull this off better because the emotional arcs were rushed. Great fight scene. Team Boys is luckier than the Winchesters.
