For all the goodwill The Boys garners, the Prime Video series hasn’t shaken things up enough across its three seasons. While the stakes keep rising with every passing episode and the spinoff Gen V ties into Season 4, Billy Butcher and his crew are no closer to taking down Homelander and Vought Industries. Despite all the gory fight scenes and dropped bombshells, the plot feels like it’s beginning to drag — a bad sign for a series that prides itself on never playing things safe.One major change to the show’s main villain, however, can get the series back in line. Homelander has appeared to be utterly unbeatable across three seasons, but by leveling the playing field between the non-superheroes and the show’s most powerful antagonist, the story can get a whole lot more interesting. If The Boys Season 4 makes the risky move of taking away Homelander’s superpowers, both the character and the show will evolve for the better.While being the strongest TV villain, Homelander does have one weakness: his overwhelming desire to be loved and adored by the public. Even after murdering a civilian in cold blood at the end of Season 3, he still had hundreds of supporters. If killing someone in broad daylight wasn’t enough to get non-superheroes to turn on him, losing the physical capabilities he’s spent years dazzling the public with would finally do the trick. Seeing what lengths he goes to in order to cover up his new lack of abilities would be an engaging and interesting story that The Boys hasn’t explored yet. It also gives actor Antony Starr a chance to add to his already nuanced, brilliant performance as the show’s Big Bad.RELATED: The Boys Stars Hypes ‘More Intense’ Season 4
