Hl - Homelander
SB - Soldier Boy
So after Ryan laser beamed SB, SB ran into him (Ryan) with his shield and knocked him down.
Then Hl went to check on Ryan, and while doing so his guard was down.
So SB saw an opening and he was about to attack both of them with his chest beam but then Butcher stopped him.
Why??????
From what we've seen, SB's chest beam isn't fatal to supes, it only makes them human. Hell, Maeve took an extra charged up chest beam and didn't die, she simply lost her powers...which is what would've happened to Ryan and Homelander if Butcher didn't interfere.
Not to mention, Butcher knows that Ryan hates his powers because of how he accidentally killed his own mother, so SB attacking him with the chest beam would have turned him into a normal boy which I'm sure is something Ryan would be happy about.
Why did Butcher even take more temp V knowing it was deadly, only to chicken out at the finish line because Ryan was gonna be turned into..... a human?
I also didn't like how everyone showed up and ganged up on SB like he was a bigger threat than Hl.
Couldn't Butcher or one of the others simply take Ryan away from the fight while the others dealt with Hl? Then afterwards they could still take out SB whenever they felt it because they know his weakness.
This was a very unsatisfying and underwhelming season finale.
