So, at this point, it's easy to say the Boys ending is going to be terrible, and everyone knows it, including Erica Kirpke, who decided to pull the "Well, it was always meant to suck ass!"

In fact, there's an entire article about him bitching about fans complaining about all the filler in the final season of his own show.
Constantly complaining about his fans and claiming they only want to see people fighting, even though one of the main premises of the comics was killing superpowered celebrities. Yet, the show is simply Eric Kirpke's whiny fanfic about how he hates Trump and people who follow him.

I'll send a link to the article below, but here's his response.

yeah, nobody's going to buy the "it sucks on purpose" excuse
 
To add insult to injury, have you ever wondered why Kripke decided to get rid of the big twist of the comics, that being Black Noir being a Homelander clone?
Well, here you go.

So basically, Eric hated the source material and decided to make Black Noir a black guy, then got confused when people started to sympathize with Homelander, even though he was the one who decided to show more of Homelander's past trauma, thus humanizing him.
This right here is why so many adaptations fall apart.
They're bought up by people who don't respect or understand the source material, and the new changes they make break the story.

Lets not pretend the source material is much better, anyone who did a "true" adaptation of that trash comic would only make something marginally better than we have gotten post season 1 (and I personally still think it probably would have been just as bad as what we have now).

Erik just exchanged something that was already shit with his own shit. Still just as offensively awful though.

The entire show is based around "fuck Donald Trump", and you're surprised the final season is dogshit?

The first season was based on the idea of the CIA wanting to wipe out superheroes before they became more powerful than the American government. The second season and on were purely dick and fart jokes and endless parodies of pop culture memes or Trump. Also the first season was written as part of a standalone series but when they got the approval for spinoffs and prequels it forced them to franchise and tie everything together. And now the final season is nothing more than a setup for two other spinoffs.

Invincible was the same. First season sets up these massive war against the Viltrumites. Then becomes fag romance and college students and tons of side content. Time travel and other dimensions that make caring about anything pointless as it can all be reset or invalidated. Now the show is openly promoting satanism and abortion and has nothing to do with superheroes.
