This article contains spoilers for "The Boys" season 4, episode 5, "Beware the Jabberwock, My Son."
"The Boys" is always upping the ante. It's the most subversive superhero show on TV and one that not only perfected the idea of "What if superheroes bad" but made it more than just a gimmick, exploring the ramifications of a world that would allow and push for superheroes to be actively terrible while delivering poignant social commentary (especially with Homelander). As grim and bleak as this show can get — and it often gets extremely bleak — "The Boys" also knows when to lean on absurdity for a laugh, whether it's the hilarious terror of The Deep being forced to eat his aquatic friend Timothy, the explicit chaos of Herogasm, the dildo fight in season 3, or everything about Love Sausage.
From the very start, "The Boys" has given us great fight scenes involving the weirdest and most messed up adversaries.

Need to catch up? Check out the previous Outlander recap here.
Claire and Jamie are still deep in the hard, physical labor of homesteading in this week’s Outlander, so you’ll have to bear with them.
[Reads notes more closely.] Sorry, let me rephrase that. Claire and Jamie are still deep in the hard, physical labor of homesteading in this week’s Outlander, and There’S A Bear With Them.*
Woodland creatures aside, “Common Ground” is the perfect Thanksgiving-weekend episode, given that the Frasers unceremoniously boot some Native Americans from their land and then expect the tribe to live in harmony with them.
