And get her powers back. As noted by @Love_Rhombus the powers were taken away by “something something radiation”. However, Maeve could still be adjusted to Compound V and able to take more to get her powers back. Or if not maybe she’ll take the risk with Temporary V because I think she still wants a piece of Homelander and Vought. ---

I’d love to watch a whole special on the costumes and stuntwork for this show. ---

Didn’t Kimiko regain her powers after Annie got her some V? ---

There is no way I would call this finale a happy ending. Homelander has a cult and media behind him to give him cover that will allow him to indulge in his worst impulses openly with no consequences. It’s terrifying. ---

Hmm, that sounds depressingly familiar. ---

I just finished the season with my wife; we obviously waited until the whole season was available. What the actress who played Maeve unavailable for some reason? She was sidelined until the finale. Loved the season. ---

Homelander has a cult and media behind him to give him cover that will allow him to indulge in his worst impulses openly with no consequences. It’s terrifying. I think engineer\_comp\_geek was talking specifically about the happy ending for Maeve. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-boys-s3/941047.md?page=13)
