Why in the end did Victoria Neuman fail to exercise her powers?
When Butcher killed Victoria Neuman in the season finale, you could be asking why she chose not to exercise her powers to fight back. Though the program doesn't say specifically why, Neuman was probably startled by Butcher's abrupt attack. She lacked time to reply since she was taken aback. She didn't believe she was in any danger since she was entirely trusting Butcher after she agreed with The Boys to reveal Homelander. Her collapse came from her naivete.
Why is Zoe's last sad?
The Boys season 4's last scene has Zoe being taken to Red River, the same orphanage her mother and Marie Moreau grew up in. Neuman's death is therefore even more sad since she knew personally how horrible Red River was and would have never wanted her daughter to grow up there. Seeing Zoe's future in an orphanage emphasizes the extent of victim she is in all of this. It's quite sad, and you find yourself pitying Zoe. Poor Zoe seems to be caught in an abuse and catastrophe spiral.
Knowing Red River, did Butcher?
You know, Butcher's been around long enough to know about the sins of Vought, therefore yep, he most certainly knew about Red River. Though it's not stated clearly in the show, Butcher obviously knows what kind of place it is. That renders his decision to send Zoe there much more wicked. She is essentially being sent into the same kind of life her mother and Marie Moreau had to live. It's essentially still another illustration of Butcher's merciless lack of sympathy.
In this scenario is Butcher a villain?
In this moment, he is rather the main villain. Though Butcher has always been a sinister figure in The Boys, his cold-blooded desire to kill Neuman while she is at atonement is harsh even for him. You know what the worse is? He does it front of her daughter. He most likely understands the kind of life he is guiding Zoe into. Though it's all part of his aim to eradicate all Supes, it's still a quite nasty thing to do.
What is The Boys about?
The Boys flips the traditional superhero universe on its head while still honoring it. It centers on a group of vigilantes known as "The Boys," who oppose Vought, a strong company running over the superhero realm. They reveal the secrets of the superheroes and demonstrate that they are not the heroes we believe they to be. Though it also addresses some serious concerns including power, corruption, and the results of unbridled authority, the show features plenty of dark humor and action.
What opinions on superheroes do The Boys have?
The Boys presents us what might happen should we really have superpowered people among us and offers a sarcastic view on the superhero genre. The show looks at the negative aspects of superheroism, stressing how readily their might may be perverted. It's like a warning, alerting us that, absent responsibility for their acts, even with their amazing powers, they can turn lethal. Consider it as a cautionary advice to all of us to be wary of individuals in positions of authority even if they seem to be good.
