The Boys fans left “nauseous” by Season 4 Sage scene
While there was plenty of violence and bloodshed in The Boys Season 4 Episode 4, one scene in particular involving Sister Sage has caused shock, leaving some fans feeling “nauseous.”
Thenew Supehas been a great addition to The Seven, hatching a devious plan for Homelander to cause chaos andMake America Super Again.
But, being the smartest person in the world does come with its downsides. As was teased inThe Boys Season 4 Episode 3, Sage’s demeanor changed when she hooked up with The Deep.
When the camera pulled away, it showed what appeared to be a recently-used lobotomy tool on her desk.
This was confirmed in the latestEpisode 4, whereSage’s brainis back in working order. The Deep confronts her about her hot-and-cold temperament, so she opens up to him, explaining that her brain is capable of regenerating.
So, while most humans might have a glass of wine to unwind after a long day, Sage gives herself temporary lobotomies to escape.
She convinces him to perform the procedure on her, which involves pushing a metal spike known as an orbitoclast through her eye and into her brain and tapping the end of it with a surgical hammer.
The scene is particularly gruesome, not least because of the sound design, bringing the lobotomy to life withThe Boys’well-used squelching sounds.
There’s been a strong reaction to the graphic moment, with one viewerwritingon Reddit, “Was the lobotomy sex scene the one they were talking about filming the most disgusting thing yet? Because I’m actually a little nauseous from that one, Jesus f**king Christ.”

“I straight up had to leave the room… was not prepared for that st,” said another, while a third added, “I just skipped that. I don’t do eye st.”
They’re not the only one who had to skip past the scene, with another stating, “I skipped it. Too much for me.”
“It was the first time in the series I had to look away,” commented a fifth, while a sixth said, “I’m usually fine with gore in this series, but even I had to look away.”
Not everyone agrees, however, with some fans believing there’s another moment inThe Boys Season 4that tops it: theHuman Centipede homage.
In case you need reminding, inSeason 4 Episode 2,Frenchieand Kimiko find six versions of Splinter — a Supe with the power to self-replicate — all in a Human Centipede-style line, pleasuring each other while the front one masturbates to an image ofFirecracker.
The sequence is so graphic, it wasbanned by Amazon Prime Video India.
In response to viewers voting Sage’s lobotomy as The Boys’ most disgusting scene, one fan countered, “My vote would still go to the Human Centipede salad toss.”
But another disagreed, “I’m good with watching Ant Man Thanos penis style and masturbating a**-eating Human Centipedes but watching a brain lobotomy is where I draw the line.”
