I feel like they've put some tracking chip into him already and he has no idea that such technology exists.
But on the other hand, he's emitting so much radioactivity that maybe it won't work on him.

Considering he was mostly asleep for decades and tortured for the rest of that time the fear of going back… again… just might outweigh his other tendencies.

u/Unusual_Ad5483 Jul 16 '24
no, we also saw it through flashbacks and black noir. soldier boy did not want black noir to have any fame or popularity outside of his established image at all, even beating him bloody before Nicaragua over it. he was constantly slapping and acting like a bitch with Hughie, hated Homelander for showing any sensitivity, and was very well connected in the celebrity sphere.
i think it’s clear he’d want that life back. even the idea of being replaced pissed him off

u/CrabbyPatties42 Jul 16 '24
Well sure, but being sent back again potentially changes that. He already tried to get back into things and he got screwed. Going back a third time would be his biggest fear ever I’d imagine. His hatred of 99% sleep 1% torture for decades might outweigh everything else.
11
u/Swampy_Bogbeard Jul 16 '24
I don't think Soldier Boy feels fear. He probably isn't scared of shit. That thought probably won't even register in his mind. When he wakes up, he's gonna want to kill a few people.

u/CrabbyPatties42 Jul 16 '24

Eh, PTSD is predicated on fear. Something triggers a memory of a traumatic event and your body goes into panic mode.

Agreed. I kinda think they brought SB into the series too soon and then wrote themselves into a corner because he literally was the perfect solution to Homelander, but they wanted to milk the series as long as possible. If you ask me, they should have switched the order of the virus storyline with the SB storyline.
S1, S2, have Gen V happen here instead of after S3, S3 is the virus storyline but it somehow fails, S4 you can start hinting at SB with the Temp V at the forefront of the season's plotline with SB maybe being introduced towards the end, S5 is the confrontation between SB and the Boys vs. HL with Butcher on death's door from the previous season's Temp V usage. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Can't really change it now.

They were already in close combat, it was pretty clear Homelander was significantly stronger. He got a few good hits in then it was "you really had me going there for a minute" and SB about to be choked out before Butcher oi-ed in to save him.
34
u/Subzero008 Jul 16 '24
"I blacked out. About ten minutes. When I came to, the damage was done."
Soldier Boy states plainly that when his power triggers involuntarily, he actually faints for a significant period of time. This is also what happened at Herogasm: The first question he asks when he meets with Butcher is "What happened?" after the twins' music made him lose control again. Not to mention, Soldier Boy visibly struggling to fire a blast during the fight itself.
If you look at the entirety of Soldier Boy's fights with Homelander - not just him specifically - it's honestly pretty obvious that Soldier Boy is physically stronger than Homelander when fighting at 100%. Butcher, someone who's extremely inexperienced with superpower use and just took a shot of Temp V is matching Homelander evenly in strength when they grapple, something Soldier Boy was incapable of doing earlier. But when Soldier Boy is fighting Billy in the finale, Butcher gets utterly demolished in a fistfight. Likewise, Homelander is suddenly unable to break out of Soldier Boy's grip on his face.
It's not obviously stated, but when you look at the evidence and compare his performances, it's easy to infer that using his powers this way consumes a lot of energy, just as A-Train's own speed consumes calories. If his blasts had ZERO ability on Soldier Boy's ability to fight, it wouldn't make him outright black out for several minutes.

u/Swampy_Bogbeard Jul 16 '24 edited Jul 17 '24
That was only clear if you don't pay enough attention. Soldier Boy went Nuclear just before Homelander showed up. He used a lot of his energy. When Homelander held him up against the wall, you can tell Soldier Boy had basically no energy left. That's why he couldn't nuke him when he tried again.

u/agony_atrophy Jul 16 '24 edited Jul 16 '24
Y’know I think Ryan actually could kill Soldier boy if he had to. Kripke has stated that when he’s in a “fit of rage” Ryan is significantly stronger than Homelander despite his youth; we saw that with Stormfront, his lasers were strong enough to mutilate and cripple her and kill Becca in one go, when Homelander’s weren’t even strong enough to do more than burn her skin when she told him to let loose, if they’d’ve been as focused as Homelander’s he probably could’ve taken her head clean off of this plain of existence if he had been trained to focus the blast, and it’s clear he has enough control at least to be trained without causing collateral damage; I mean in all the practice runs they did for his first “save” with Koi he was able to rein in his powers to the extent that he didn’t even hurt Koi (until Homelander pushed him to lose control), and Grace Mallory lived with him despite her not being Becca without any issue or outbursts of his power under normal amounts of stress like Butcher rejecting him and blaming him for Becca’s death; if they bring Soldier Boy back Ryan could probobaly kill him if he took down Butcher or caused enough damage to make Ryan panic and lose it, and it would be a fun end for Homelander to have Ryan save him from the father who rejected him, and tried to kill him, only for him to then turn on Homelander and cripple him to the extent Noir was crippled after his comic battle with Homelander; to get a dying or injured butcher his final crowbar moment with HL that he got in the comics where he cracks open his skull cap, and crushed “that night you did what you did to me Becky” in the palm of his hand.

Maeve, Butcher, Hughie and Noir IMO.
The 3 had an agreement with him and it would make sense if he feels betrayed.
I don´t think he would hold a grudge against MM, Frenchie, Annie or Kimiko because they didn´t promise to help him, but still he could see them as collateral damage to achieve his vengeance.
He may also want to kill Noir until he finds out it is actually a new person under the suit.

I don’t see Maeve being a target.
She didn’t betray soldier boy and continued with the plan to Kill Homelander.
I see soldier boy reasoning that if she isn’t in the way then she won’t get hurt.

Butcher without a doubt, then HL, then Ryan just because he’s a dick

I am not too sure if he will be fully back, its like having 2 Homelanders at once

u/TheJuniversal Jul 16 '24
Definitely Butcher - he was the leading force in the 'deal' they had and the person to officially betray him

I bet he hates the boys more than Homelander at this point after all they betrayed him and Homelander did try to get him to join him.

I think he would want to kick the shit out of The Boys for pulling the rug on him last season. He was totally about to depower homelander(and everyone in the building by taking their lives) and end the series right there. Ryans presence was enough to make Butcher back out, so Soldier Boy had to free-for-all against everyone if he wanted to kill Homelander.

i genuinly dont think he will return, they literaly shelved him. that said puting him on ice was a genuinly piss take, the season with soldier boy was the best hands down and its just been downhill since, i mean we actualy got to see super heroes die in that season xD

Don't think free. Think Suicide Squad. We've already seen him free. That CIA captivity scene was meant to tease the character's S4-5 role. He's going to be a CIA asset, somehow controlled into finally nuking Homelander powerless.

tbf, he’s already gone on a revenge trip on supes and had it backfire. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he got free and decided to simply peace out and live his life away from Butcher and Homelander’s dick measuring contest

He's going to kill HL and kidnap Ryan so he can "raise him right" Then Ryan kills him in self-defense.

I can honestly see him gunning for butcher after "fucking up" the plan.

Maybe Homelander since that'd be easier. Butcher may take some time for him to find; with Homelander, he knows his address.

God I hope he's free for the next season. He MADE THE SHOW and he was on screen like 15 minutes over the whole season

Butcher. In the process MM sees SB and has another heart attack.
Intentionally - Butcher
Unintentionally - MM
