Are you sure about that? Because the Season 3 finale did shake the status quo

- &gt;!Butcher is going to die soon!&lt;

- Starlight is now &gt;!part of The Boys!&lt;

- The Seven &gt;!were reduced to just 3 members now,!&lt; meaning they will have to rebuild their team from scratch

- Stan Edgar &gt;!is out of the picture and Homelander owns Vought now!&lt;

- Victoria Neuman &gt;!was elected and became a target for The Boys!&lt;

- Ryan &gt;!is under Homelander's wing now,!&lt; and the last scene implies &gt;!he's on the verge of becoming twisted like his dad!&lt;

- Homelander is no longer afraid of showing his true violent self to the public now

Say what you want about the last episode, but it definitely made a decent set up for the next season

But:

-I don't believe they're actually going to kill off Butcher, especially given the two fake-out deaths of season 3

-The Seven was already weak and practically just Homelander in season 2

-Stan Edgar is definitely still scheming behind the scenes. His "defeat" wasn't very convincing

-Neuman already had power as a Senator, I don't know what her election really changes

Ryan should be interesting, as will Homelander being openly violent, but the end of season 2 - with Hughie working for Neuman, Homelander on the defensive, and the promise of Soldier Boy + superpowers for the Boys - was infinitely better. All of those arcs went nowhere
