'The Boys' Season 3 ended with a psychotic Homelander still worshipped by America as their greatest hero. This despite the man lasering a man to death for talking ill about his son Ryan, who now has powers. The death causes a temporary silence before his fans cheer, yell and whoop in admiration.

While Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) was one of the focus points this season considering he was both Butcher (Karl Urban) and Homelander's son, the hint of the teen siding with the supe had fans sharing their two cents about the finale and his role in the upcoming season. While some felt he would take after Homelander, some of the fans predicted his death in the future as well.

"That last smirk on ryan’s face. True son of Homelander. #TheBoysTV #TheBoysFinale," one of the fans opined. Some just wanted him to die. "I’m not gonna lie, Soldier boy was the best part of this season. but got damn I hate Ryan, I could not care if he died. mf always messes everything up. Mf has an annoying ass voice and face holy shitt #TheBoysFinale #TheBoysTV #TheBoys and how tf is Maeve still alive wtf." Another had a theory: "OMG I hate them butcher for this stupid ass plan. Why not take Ryan out the building and let soldier boy finish off homelander? why are YOU butcher fighting soldier boy and YOU mauve fighting homelander instead of putting them two against each other #TheBoysTV."

"#TheBoysFinale #TheBoysTV Well we know s5 is the final season and I'm guessing #butcher will have to kill #Homelander and #Ryan. And butcher will die too. One of the best shows ever. Beautiful arcs for each character. Just wow @therealKripke," a fan remarked. "omg ryan's smile in the end, this show is a masterpiece, wish there were more episodes #TheBoys #TheBoysFinale #TheBoysTV" one of the tweets read. "#TheBoysFinale #TheBoysTV . . . . . . Why Ryan though....my boy's been rejected and traumatised over and over then Homelander came down from the sky and said precisely what he needed to hear... of course he'd lap it up even temporarily because he feel like he has no other option," a fan commented.
