The Boys - An Amazon Prime adaptation of the Ennis comic series

[Awilix]

Am I the only one who thinks the show could of earned the tiniest bit of my respect back if they had of just ended with Butcher getting shot, somewhat matching the ending of the boys comic. But no, we needed a "happily ever after" ending with Hughie getting the girl & his life getting back to normal.

Exactly. That is how V1 Homelander should have been. Not this pathetic farce that was weaker than Homelander at Herogasm.

What the fuck was the V1 plotline even for? If he's not going to be ten times as strong (remember, that is Sage's exact description for V1 when compared to regular V) then Homelander getting the V1 is completely pointless.

the fact the plan was the same from when they had Soldier Boy on their side.. just hit him with the Radiation Beam, and it just works, is so baffling it really has to be studied.

Mind you, the plot of Homelander's might being overcome is the entire point of the whole series, and he's done in by something anyone could have cooked up at any time by studying what they did to Soldier boy, making all the tension of it moot.

and he's never even depicted as this world ending threat anyways, in terms of Marvel Scaling, Homelander would be a 2-10 ton range character.

Someone Spider-man could whoop.

The Boys TV series isn't even a deconstruction of superheroes. That whole concept went right out the window by season 2.

On-the-nose political "commentary," endless pop culture references, modern slang ... It's one of the most "Current Year" shows ever made, and it's already aging like an avocado.

"OH MY GOD! THIS SHOW IS REGURGITATING MY POLITICAL BELIEFS AND IS DEPICTING MY VIOLENT REVENGE FANTASIES! OH MY GOD IT'S SO FUCKING REVOLUTIONARY! EVEN IF THERE'S 90 OTHER SHOWS WHERE THE WRITERS CIRCLEJERK EACH OTHER OVER HOW LEFTIST THEY ARE!"

- Some TDS-riddled faggot on X somewhere, likely Kripke.

You are the only one, because it’s “could have” and “had have”

I think the funeral scene for Butcher was worse than that. Annie, Kimiko, and MM all should have been beyond fed up with him after his plan.
