Warning : despoiler in the lead for The Boys time of year 4 , episode 8 .
Summary
The Boysseason 4 follow to a shocking and suspenseful remnant , as its main storey blame up importantly in the final episodes — thoughI’ll admit , I’m let down by how the series handles Soldier Boy . Jensen Ackles ' Soldier Boy makes his first appearance inThe Boysseason 3 , and the Supe leaves a last impression . Ackles render a standout performance , and it ’s one that cause viewers require more of his character . Despite his frustration at theending ofThe Boysseason 3 , I opine many of us expected Soldier Boy to show up again in time of year 4 .
The Boysseason 3 ’s revelation that Soldier Boy is still alive — and merely back in cryosleep , thanks to Grace Mallory — sure enough makes it seem like the character ’s story is n’t over . AndThe Boysseason 4 does return to Soldier Boy as assure , but it ’s not in the way many hop for and look . I ca n’t conceive how badly the fourth outing utilise Soldier Boy ’s character , but I ’m promising the series will make up for this duringThe Boysseason 5 .
Billy Butcher is fatten to buy the farm in The Boys , but with one character appearing in time of year 5 , it could hint at the character ’s tragical risible book cease .

When Soldier Boy does show up , he ’s still unconscious in his cryosleep chamber — and he does n’t get any lines before the conniption fades to black . The Boysseason 4 ’s post - quotation tease sees Homelander find out that his father is still alive . It ’s an emotional moment forThe Boys’villain , but it does n’t really tot to Soldier Boy ’s story . That ’s a disgrace , as he ’s one of the show ’s most interesting character .
