I understand that the world is incredibly shitty right now and people need an escape but there is an endless backlog of fantastic movies, games, TV shows, anime, comics, manga whatever from the 80s, 90s, and early to mid 2000s

There is no need whatsoever to consoom degenerate Jewish humiliation rituals.

In this context I don't see how The Boys could be considered escapist, it's more viscerally disgusting and mean spirited than the real world. I just looked at my Amazon account and I tapped out about 10 minutes into episode 3, season 4. And here I thought I quit sooner than that, to my great shame.

I'm just laughing at this show runner and his writers going out in public and trying to damage-control the ending with "Yeah anyone who is about to die would plead like this, they would offer to suck dick and eat their killer's shit. No one has ever gone out with dignity or been brave." I won't even bother looking up the early life, I just know. What a diseased soul.
 
Came across this video that shows the character depth Homelander had early on that was later destroyed by making him purely a Trump stand-in.

The best part about that cope is the man Kripke hates the most, the man he tried to fit Homelanders character to just so he could have his self masturbatory release of killing the bad orange man parallel, the guy who he clearly wanted us to imagine acting like Homelander?

Here's how that guy reacted after a bullet zipped by his head

Behind all the snark posting and attempts to cope, Kripke is a shell of a man who allows a geriatric meme lord to control his daily thoughts.

yes, he is a jew
Trump is a white man who believes in something, however many times it may seem like he doesn't.

The nobility of another person or people naturally disgusts the wandering desert gypsies.

I really don't want to derail this thread with politi-sperging but you're right. I disagree with a lot of what Trump says and I believe he is often an arrogant moron but when it came down to life or death the man's first impulse, other than trying not to get shot, was to tell his base that they need to keep fighting. He actually believes in his "cause" which is admirable.

If The Boys was competently written they would have had this flawed Homelander character's last moment consist of him, for all his flaws and fuck-ups prior, have a moment like that. It would have appealed to people who like watching him and it would have given him a small arc rather than fuck-all nothing. But this show is not about that, it's about a weird Jew getting paid a lot of money to direct is fan-fiction where a "fascist" white man dies a pathetic death in the Oval Office.

They're telling on themselves when they say stuff like this ... Just like how they told on themselves during the last season with the Batman character's degenerate sex dungeon batcave:

"Who hasn't thought about Batman using his batcave to do some kinky and gross sex stuff?"

Literally everyone else. You guys are the ONLY ones who have thought about it, you degenerates. lol.
 
Kripke is a bald jewish redditor, and now his main soapbox went down in flames and shit itself to death because kvetching about twitter politics was more important than adapting another persons work with any semblance of respect.

He kikemaxxed so hard he managed to actually make me feel bad for Garth fucking Ennis.
 
Here to say, lol. I'm so glad i never was interested in this pile of utter safe edgy garbage.

It should be the easiest win ever but both of the big ones (Invincible and The Boys) are absolute shit and crammed with awful writing and cringe woke politics?

Its a similar case with adult animation too. Except its sex jokes up the fucking wazoo and being thinly veiled porn. Like it's fucking insane how little it has changed from the days of ralph bakshi. I get anime autists have a shit reputation among kiwis here. Especially in light of all the cows and halal'ed users being anime autists but can you blame them for wanting to watch that when the alternative is...whatever this TDS addled dogshit is.

As someone who really loved the comics I feel like the finale was another case of just get it done. Also feels like the writer didn't like that people actually liked Homelander, or the villains, so he gave him the most pathetic exit imaginable.

I know the comics (I've read a fair bit of them) had a bunch of political commentary in there. But it was really in your face from Season 3/4.

I don't understand why none of these writers can do any subtlety. I know "The Wire" very different program but they managed to put in political commentary intelligently and make it integral to the story.

I saw one guy online defending the head-popper woman who was supposed to be AOC. Ignoring the fact she straight up murdered a load of people for political gain.

And the jab at Elon was just cringeworthy. Good job there.

It was pretty predictable. The moment I saw him, I knew it was going to be some cheap jab. There seemed to be a bunch of cheap political jabs. It is very tiresome and predictable. I just roll my eyes when I see it.

Overall I enjoyed the show, it had enough differences to make it interesting even for someone who read all the comics. they did some of my favorites pretty dirty though, poor Love Sausage deserves better than that.

I liked seasons 1 and 2. I knew when they didn't kill Maeve off in Season 3, it was kind of like over.

Edit: Oh and The Deep should have lived. He was the only one of the 7 to even survive in the comics ffs.

I knew Deep was going to get thrown into the ocean. It was so obvious that was what they were going to do.

The boys just turned into the writers personal gay little homosexual masturbation session of Orange Man Mad. Historically most strong men go out laughing at the executioners or saying go ahead shoot me nigga.
The only person who cried and begged like a bitch when executed was one That one communist. Homosexual. Cuban. He begged like a bitch when the CIA shot him like the dog he was.
Mussolini's last words were shoot me.
The leader of the Iron Guard at a whole book.
If someone tried to shoot Stalin, he would have probably laughed in the face.
Luenta Barrier actually begged like a dog when he was executed.
Basically left his beg for their lives cause the sad, pathetic little weasels.
Charles 2 had a whole monolog that was two hours.
 
Somebody's gotta ask all the transflag twitter handles saying they liked how Homelander went out and he deserved it for being orange man or whatever if we should also beat Tomer Capone to death with a crowbar while he cries and shits himself, because Frenchie's actual real life actor has done as bad if not worse things than Homelander did in the IDF.

This isn't a MATI thing either, I'm genuinely curious how The Goys community would respond.

And if Homelander is supposed to be this "bash over the head" and "overt" narrative about the orange man, then ... They failed. lol.

Trump was less than an inch away from getting his brains blown out and his immediate response to it was to hold his fist in the air, while bloody, saying "FIGHT!"

And with this latest attempt on his life, his response to it was "Well, that's life. None of us live forever, amirite?" (or something along those lines)

Also, once again the writers are telling on themselves: if they are so super progressive, then why do they think that dick sucking between two men is the ultimate form of humiliation? Please, I want someone to ask them why they chose this. :story:

Based on what I have seen of the show I would have done a pretty big rewrite of Homelander to make things work. First I would have made his slide into being a villain more gradual and had it driven by the fact that he was created in a test tube and raised without parents. Have the villain things he did motivated by two things, wanting to be loved, and loyalty to the Seven as they are the closest thing to a family he ever had. Don't have him go around killing them with glee, at least not at first. Maybe not even have him directly doing anything evil himself but maybe just have him cover up the crimes of the other members of the 7 because they are his family, have him not like it at first but he sees it as his family against the insane terrorists that are The Boys. A complaint I have heard a lot of people make is there are times when Homelander could have killed his enemies but just didn't on the show, if they didn't make him out and out evil from the start that wouldn't be a problem, at first have Homelander have a strict no kill rule that he doesn't break, this gets rid of the plotholes and it give the series a "Shit just got real" moment when Homelander is pushed to the point where he finally kills someone. You then have him and Butcher locked in a death spiral of hate that can only end one way for both of them. You also make some threat outside of the boys, like some Supes that are even more powerful so when Homelander takes over he thinks it is to protect people and he doesn't see he has become the thing he used to hate, tie his breakdown to him believing his own press and seeing himself as the only person who can save the world. Then either have him and Bitcher kill each other in their final battle, or have him stripped of his powers and sent to prison and cut to five years latter when someone is visiting him and he is stripped of his powers and he is not a well liked person in prison but have him say that without the corporate brainwashing and the pressure of thinking he has to save the world he has found some peace and he is content to spend the rest of his life in the cell. Either one of these I think would have been a better ending and given us a more complex show.

What do you think, this is just what I came up with in the past day after watching three episodes of the show and some Youtube videos.

These are Godolkin Supes. Godolkin recruits his supes by abducting poor, abused and neglected children that aren’t as likely to be missed as rich or middle-class kids. Then he rapes them repeatedly to mindbreak them before they are V’ed up. Once they develop powers they are encouraged to revel in disgusting sex acts, jerking each other off, doing drugs etc as it keeps them apart from humanity and on the Godolkin ‘ranch’ as it were, where they can do such things without judgement. It aligns with the observation that an unusually large proportion of gay men were raped as children, and it was slyly based for Ennis to insert this implication into the comics.

You misunderstand an important point.
People point that this comic is edgy shlock because of the methods used.
The kind of cult like or heavy dependable relationship you describe can be achieved without gay rape and piss orgies.
If you still don't get it, imagine that someone is cold, and instead of putting some clothes on, he sets himself on fire.
You are quick to explain a scenario, but we are asking why was that particular scenario needed, when something more sensible achieves the same result.
Everyone knows why, because he's an edgy faggot that likes to shock it's readers.
Do you understand the main contention people have now?
