Fans Questioning Neuman’s Season 4 Finale Arc, Drawing Comparisons to ‘Yellowstone’

“The Boys” is one of the most popular superhero series worldwide, and its fourth season concluded recently on July 18, 2024. Although the initial reactions were mixed, the series gained momentum, earning Certified Fresh status and high ratings.

The fourth season featured many intriguing and surprising moments. While Victoria Neuman’s character hadn’t received much focus prior to the finale, she had a standout moment in one of the season’s most shocking scenes. Actress Claudia Doumit’s reaction to the scene has already been reported, but despite the finale’s overall praise, some fans are quite upset.

Fans of the character have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with Neuman’s arc in the Season 4 finale. They are openly criticizing the writers for inconsistency and for the way they handled the character’s demise.

To sum it up, amidst the political chaos in the Season 4 finale of “The Boys,” Victoria Neuman is brought before the team with an offer to negotiate for her and her daughter’s safety—a tactic she’s used before. However, Butcher arrives and, using his new superpowers, splits Neuman in half, delivering one of the series’ most brutal and shocking deaths. This moment highlights the intense dynamics between Neuman and Butcher, though that’s a discussion for another time.

While the Season 4 finale has generally received excellent reviews and fans have been impressed by its level of intensity, some viewers feel that Neuman’s character was not treated justly and consider her ending a case of poor writing.

In this context, the series has been compared to “Yellowstone,” which has faced criticism for its inconsistent and erratic writing in its later seasons, similar to the situation with Neuman’s character.

Despite these comparisons, we don’t believe the writing is inherently flawed; rather, it’s the fans who cherished Neuman feeling upset because their favorite character is leaving the show. While it’s understandable that they’re disappointed, considering the series’ overall trajectory, her departure was foreseeable (as confirmed by Doumit), though the method of her exit is open to debate.
