Have you 🃏recovered yet? The Boys season 3’s penultimate episode delivered a hammer blow of a la🌸st-minute twist – and viewers on Prime Video are (rightfully) losing their minds over the major reveal.

MAJOR spoilers for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Boys season 3, episode 7 follow.

So, yep: Homelander is Soldier Boy’s son. Mꦜaybe not in the conventional mommy-and-daddy-loved-each-other-very-much sense, but Antony Starr’s Supe is very much the offspringꦡ of Soldier Boy after some Vought experiments involving Penthouse magazine and a paper cup. You get the picture.

As expected, social medi𝓡a has gone into meltdown over the plot twist. "The mother of all plot twists," said . Another , "The twist in the ending will blow everyone’s damn minds. This season is majestic."

The praise keeps on coming: “The plot twist was fucking amazing," one .ꦉ As , it "has to be the best plot twist since Empire Strikes Back."

If nothing else, fans it’s “the best twist they’ve cooked up so far” in the show &n💫dash; with one "an unexpected twist… but it also explains a lot about Homelander."

Not eve🧔ryone was sold, mind you. One , "Hmm not a big fan of the whole Soldier Boy/Homelander twist. It feels like it came out of nowhere." Another , it was "a twist I actually saw coming, but i’m so shocked they ACTUALLY did it."

Let’s sign off with a possible twist-within-a-twist. And it’s a gross one. Of course it is. ജIf Soldier Boy is Homelander’s father, who’s the mother? The episode already sets up Vought not being shy over taking a Supe’s eggs for their own nefarious purposes – so who better than… Stormfront. We told you it was gross.

As , "The next thing they're gonna s💎how is. Homelander's mother was Stormfront. Now it all makes sense why they choose to make Stromfront a female character. Well played."
