Homelander (Antony Starr) sits in the White House in season 5, episode 7 of 'The Boys'

Homelander might be a demigod, but he can’t impress his father.

The Boys season five, episode seven, "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk” sees our heroes debate the meaning of morality in a corrupt world, ending with a major death.

The brutality of Butcher (Karl Urban) comes under the spotlight again, the episode questioning if the ends really justify the means—killing Homelander might complete Butcher’s transformation into a monster.

Overall, the second-to-last episode of The Boys fifth, final season highlighted the tragedy of Homelander (Antony Starr)—try as he might, the world’s most powerful superhero is still “cringe.”
