The Boys fans blame “horrible writing” as the reason behind one of the most shocking deaths in the Season 4 finale.
After eight episodes of dodging asupe killing virusandHomelander’s murderous rampage, The Boys Season 4 ended with somegnarly deathsand a newsupe-centric American government.
However, before the show could ride off into its finalSeason 5glory, some fans began asking the crew to answer for the most shocking death in theSeason 4finale.
Most viewers believedVictoria Neumanwould be spared from the carnage, butBilly Butcherunfortunately took her out.
Some fans were less than thrilled with Victoria being ejected from the story, as one viewerpostedon X/Twitter, “A victim of horrible writing. I am so sorry mother #TheBoys.”

Anotherchimed in, “I think they had nothing much for finale so they killed off her character for shock value and hook. They did not even bother to built it up to the moment. Bad writing for sure.”
And a third fanwrote, “It made no sense for her to side with Homelander;it was completely out of character and the worst mistake she made.”
Victoria Neuman found herself aligning with Homelander andSister Sageto further her own political gain.
However, as things started going downhill inSeason 4 Episode 8, she tried to change sides in order to align her beliefs with The Boys to save her daughter, Zoe.
Unfortunately, her last-minute efforts to get on Butcher’s good side didn’t work out, ashis new supeability allowed him to rip Victoria in half in front of the group.
