I'd like the idea of Deep being so stupid that he actually acts as her biggest threat because she can't understand his retardation, but yeah, this probably isn't going anywhere.

Serious question here. I tried reading the comics after I gave up the show when I watched season 2. It all seemed to be LOL SEX LOL PERIOD BLOOD IN MOUTH LOL DEPRAVED SEX LMAO MORE SEX LOL SEX SEX SEX until I couldn't take it anymore because I'm not a middle schooler. If I power through that bullshit some more, will it ever stop and start getting interesting or is it just that all the way through?
edit: btw I'm fully aware of the irony of my highly mature username.

What do you expect? Hollywood Jews did the same thing to Hannukah; you know, that religious festival about a group of Jews fighting Alexander's heirs who tried to impose Greek paganism on the Jews, and they only had enough lamp oil for the Temple for one day, but the flame lasted several days? Your average Jew can't even mention who led that action, or what happened in the first place. All this crap about Hannukah, and it's all ''Jewish identity'' this and that, and not a peep about Judas Maccabeus and his efforts to preserve the faith.
So of course, Kripke probably likes the commercialized Christmas that's bereft of Christ. His people did the same thing to their own holidays, what do you expect for them to do to the holidays of their most hated enemy?
It's actually kind of funny that they're portraying Vought as the standard-bearer for this movement, when such religious movements are usually grassroots and have the support of local churches instead. I went to a religious play about Moses and his journey in Exodus, not a big corpo banner in sight. It was funded by local Christian churches who paid for the training of both the actors and the animals.
Besides, most big corpos like Amazon, Disney, and Warner Brothers are too busy burning money and sucking off the Left to even bother, so Vought supporting Christian movements isn't realistic at all. Not even Tesla or the Trump organization sponsors religious plays.
Eric Kripke obviously doesn't like Christians, so he has his evil Superman laser a bunch of Christians who were just innocently preparing an ice skating play about Christmas. But ironically enough, instead of making the Christians look bad, it just makes them look like innocent victims of a demonic fallen Supe. So if anything, Kripke ironically made the Christian ice skaters into martyrs.
That's the great irony about the Christ-hating Jews. Especially ones attacking white Christian Americans. They're attacking the last group on Earth that wants to talk to them on an even playing field.
Secular Western Europeans and other leftist whites? They think Israelis, and by extension Jews, are imperialist dogs.
Alt-right whites and Eastern Europeans? They hate political correctness, and they despise Jews for supporting it.
Arabs and Muslims? They think Jews are stealing their land. Also, their Prophet hated Jews, so even when you're not dealing with Palestinians, you're still dealing with that heat.
Asians? They don't give a fuck, outside of seeing the Jews as some kind of oddity. The most you'll get is maybe some nominal support from nations like Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan, or the Philippines, and that's because the Jews are good businessmen, nothing more. And like I said, it's nominal. They won't bleed their people dry for Israel the way WASP America does.
Blacks and Latinos? Many of them see Jews in the same way Secular Europeans do, especially when you deal with the leftists among them who also see Israeli Jews as imperialist dogs. Meanwhile, the more traditional Latinos and blacks despise the Jews for their money-lending reputation and their arrogance. The Republicans amongst them might have some mercy for Jews, but Republican Latinos and blacks are as rare as leprechauns.
So, it's really fucking hilarious to see Jews in Hollywood attack Christianity, when the only people they can guilt-trip for donations and sympathy are white Christians. Christians of other races don't like them, and other religions and races either don't give a shit about them or hate them even more. When the pogroms start and the secular whites, liberal blacks and Latinos, and the Muslims start smashing Jewish-owned businesses and homes, I can guess already which group will be vouching for Jews and mobilizing to protect Jews. Here's a hint; it's the group Eric Kripke and Seth Rogen really fucking hate.
Dollars to doughnuts, most of the plebs watching this show would happily cut Israel aid if they had the choice.

Depends on how interesting the show gets. Or if it just gets boring.
The best part is the new Black Noir who feels like a fish out of water.
I still don't understand why they don't just get a couple dozen Starlighters who are buff, dose them up with one shot of Temp V, and have them mob Homelander the next time he shows his face. As for Neuman, Grace can just thaw out and make a deal with Soldier Boy to vaporize her with his chest beam. And if he becomes a problem, just get a couple dozen soldiers, dose them up with Temp V, and kick the shit out of him or gas him back into a coma.
Last I checked, they were just some edgelord's fanfic about how a bunch of dudes in black trenchcoats beat up dorks in costumes.
Oh, and Homelander got bamboozled into going cuckoo. And his Supe Army is about as threatening as your average dirt-poor, banana republic militia that gets bombed back into the stone age by Uncle Sam.
LOL. The worst part for me was the ending.
The way Ennis got rid of the Superhero Revolution was lazy as fuck. So lazy, a kid could've done better. Hell, it was even foreshadowed by how Vought handled the Godolkin problem.
Homelander's Superhero Revolution is wiped out by jet fighters with anti-supe missiles. The Godolkin school is wiped out by a platoon of Vought shocktroops who use machine-guns, stinger missiles, and flamethrowers to wipe out the whole school.

I'm pretty sure the Justice League, the Avengers, and the X-Men aren't that easy to destroy. It makes me wonder why people needed superheroes in that world to begin with; it seems like the military can do a good enough job of their own to the point where they wouldn't need Supes.

The whole "what if superheroes were actually evil dicks?" thing is no longer a subversion. It's become a whole new trope in of itself at this point, and I'm bored.

It was novel back in the early 2010s, but now it's just the norm. It's to the point where something like My Adventures with Superman is the subversion nowadays because it plays Superman straight as a good guy. He isn't a mass-murdering fascist prick like Omni-Man, or a psychopath hiding behind a smile like Homelander, he's genuinely just a good guy.

People DIDN'T need superheroes, any more than they need Coca-Cola, Nike trainers or McDonalds. That's the whole point. They're a product. A very successful product, but ultimately just something Vought American are selling to the public. When it comes to the actual business of saving people, they're woefully ill-equipped and underqualified to do so, because they're basically just useless egotistical celebrities playing a role. During the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Jack from Jupiter (a man who can literally say a magic word and be invulnerable to harm) gets scared and runs away, and Mister Marathon gets dropped from a great height and ends up crashing to his death into someone's front room because he can't fly. The original Payback are slaughtered by the Wehrmacht on their first deployment in World War II, because their brightly coloured costumes and superheroic posturing makes them stand out a mile away in the Ardennes Forest - the original Soldier Boy ends up in pieces, begging Mallory to euthanize him.
It's stated openly by the Legend that Homelander, Maeve and Noir are the only supes worth a damn. There have been supes before them, but they were like slingshots compared to the atom bomb.
Pure, refined Compound V is rare as fuck and costs half the national budget, and only Professor Rosenbaum had the genius to create supes anywhere near as powerful as Homelander, so most supes are crap because they're made using diluted V and just designed to push a product out the door. The idea of them being these amazing, all-powerful heroes is marketing bullshit peddled by Vought through it's comics, movies and TV shows, which serve as advertising for their brand.
Payback aren't the Avengers.
The G-Men aren't the X-Men.
The Seven aren't the Justice League.

If Garth Ennis were to say so, yes, those three groups ARE those older teams. If Ennis had his way, everyone save for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman would be dead. After all, Ennis fucking hated superheroes, and he wrote that Punisher series where he kills damn near everyone.
That makes even less sense. Vought should've lost all contracts for future superheroes and should've closed down or gotten themselves bought out after failing so bad with the original team. That was their test run, and it failed. After that, they should've lost all public confidence or support. Companies whose first products fail out the door tend not to last very long. Corporate propaganda only works so well to promote a product that had a history of success in the past. A corporation like Disney can only sell brands like Marvel and Star Wars because those brands used to have successes in the past; the old animated Disney movies for Disney proper, the MCU for Marvel, and the old SW Expanded Universe for Star Wars.

I'm increasingly starting to believe that nobody in this thread has actually read the comic they're attempting to claim isn't very good.
Vought American Consolidated have a history of selling shoddy products. They started out as a weapons manufacturer, and sold fighter planes with faulty guns and non-self-sealing fuel tanks that would cook pilots alive if they crashed. Then, during the Vietnam war, they sold defective assault rifles that would jam and be rendered unable to fire, resulting in catastrophic losses of American GIs during the battle of Ia Drang.
Their stuff was crap, but it was cheap and easy to mass produce and did the job well enough about half the time.
Superpower is just their latest, and most successful venture. Surprise, surprise, they're not very good at that either, but nobody cares because the product makes money hand over fist, because the average consumer is happy to buy into the mythologised version presented in the comic books, movies and merchandising, rather than the grubby, unimpressive reality.

Such a lazy ass pull. Frenchie and his backstory were the only funny parts. The loli Little Nina thing also was beyond weird. The Black Noir/Homelander thing was good but got drowned out by all the other bullshit in the comic.
I read everything Ennis apart from his 2000 AD stuff and War Stories, Hitman is my favourite comic book next to DMZ and i firmly stand on that The Boys is dogshit compared to the rest of his work. Even his work on Crossed wasn't as bad as The Boys. Just accept that people have differing opinions from yours. And that The Boys is shit

We did. At least I did. I just think that Ennis' ideas only get more stupid the further you explain them.
The problem with that line of reasoning is that there are shoddy products and there are Vought's products, which includes the supes.
Let me explain for a bit. Sure, I'm wholly on board with Ennis with the idea that if megacorp could sell crap that kills people instead of performing its intending function, it absolutely would. Compared to real-life people from Pfizer, Vought management are squeaky clean.
The reason why the comic is stupid is Ennis trying to mix up this idea with his general loathing of supes and of capeshit comic industry (quite hypocritical, given that without that industry his works, including specifically The Boys, would not have existed). As the result, Vought in the comics engages in the nonsensical endeavor of trying to put their pet sociopaths into capes and turn them into reality TV stars, and so their superhero "product" fails in every way possible to the point it is unclear how Vought can even cover all that shit up without actually owning the govermnent already. Because Ennies just jerks off to superheroes getting beaten and humiliated, but only after engaging in sexual perversions, rather than trying to make a story which either makes sense or has compelling plot.
The problem is not that Vought is evil and stupid, but that it is evil and stupid in artificial, nonsensical ways just to relieve the author's hateboner. They could have, you know, started with making some fucking supersoldiers that were supposed to operate like normal soldiers, and only turned into pop stars (without dumb capes) because of their superhumanly impressive record. And then they could have descended into sociopathy and narcissim. And those would have been covered up, because V-infused supes are rich, popular and still really good at murdering people. But no. That would have made them more than shitty parodies of recognizable characters, and Ennis could not have that.

I find the comic strangely amusing, like most of Ennis' output you know he's masturbating to gore. The trope of Superheroes Being Evil was already played in ... I dunnow, 1987 with Marshal Law? And Marshal Law art is really pretty in a schizo way.
But you are greatly overestimating Ennis' writing if you consider it even half-decent: Vought is the least of the problem. Read the comic:
We're told that the Boys (comic version) are smart, trained and devious and that they beat the Evil Capes because Capes are strong but untrained. In the entirety of the comic almost all the fights and struggles of the Boys are solved by direct violence, and not smart violence, but simply dropping in and beating weaker capes repeatedly. All their internal info comes from one of the Seven being pissed off at being sexually exploited (not masterful infiltration, I presume). We're told the Boys and Butcher are Elite Black Ops, but their modus operandi is even below the level of real superhero comics.
Thus, the entirety of the Boys is Ennis masturbating to superhero copies being slaughtered on screen while he keeps telling us how elite and cool is the usual Military Man Protagonist stand-in, that does nothing bar hitting people in the face with a crowbar while being in no danger whatsoever.
The central concept of the comic is at odds with what the narrative does. Great writing. No mystery the show had to change it.

That's even worse. There's the kind of cheap and easy crap that's just sort of bad for you, like fast food, there's the kind of cheap and easy crap that breaks easily, like mass-produced knockoff Chinese goods sold at small convenience stores, and there's that crap that GETS SOLDIERS KILLED. Say what you will about the Yankee army, but there's one constant in that they wanted good, high-quality stuff to be mass-produced and reliable. From the Civil War to WW2, even to today, their stuff might not have been the most expensive, but it was reliable, and usually safe to use.
If Vought's products got GIs killed, then not only would they lose support, they'd get fucking black-balled and nobody would do business with them thanks to all the ''they got my brother/father/son/uncle killed in [insert war name here]'' that would be circulating all over America. Nobody would trust them. It's like with the Army-McCarthy Hearings and how Joe McCarthy was damn near unstoppable, until he went after the army and lost. The military is absolutely the last group you want to fuck with in America's legal and corporate world. They can fight back, and nine times out of then, they will win.
If Vought-American had to deal with realistic legal politics, they'd have been shut down a long time ago before they got into the superhero business because of their shady dealings.
Which again, makes no sense. If Vought's Supes are just that much of a problem, another company would've come in, competed with them, done Supes better, and defeated Vought at their own game by just making Supes that aren't sexual perverts or irredeemable psychopaths. Corporate sabotage IS a thing. A disgruntled Vought employee, maybe even Vogelbaum himself, could've taken the Compound V someplace else and another company would've started making Supes just like Vought.
Vought has to scramble a black-ops squad just to erase and cover up John Godolkin's mess. All those heroes and that whole facility, dead. All those heroes that they could've turned into franchise brands, products, flushed down the drain because the whole place is run by a complete monster. At that point, Vought would be losing money so hard they'd be in deep debt and unable to so much as make a move.
Exactly. It would've made more sense if the original Supes Vought made were actually effective at their jobs. Think something like Space Marines from 40K, Spartans from Halo, Clone Troopers from Star Wars, that kind of crap. Their powers would be just a slight incremental increase in strength when compared to the average man, but it's more than enough to give them one victory after another over non-superpowered foes. The superheroes become popular. They get media attention. They do things like say, win the Battle of the Bulge with minimal casualties, defeat the Viet Cong, or rescue the hostages from the Iran Hostage Crisis, and the people rejoice and are at awe at their deeds.
Vought then decides to expand upon the idea and create even stronger Supes, since if slightly-powered beings gave them this much success, then super-powered beings would be even more popular. Then you can have the superheroes down the line be narcissistic sociopaths, especially since they're wildly successful and powerful, and they would have the clout to cover shit up since Vought would've been a powerful brand name in the USA, synonymous with success on a massive scale. Then you can explain them being able to keep the misdeeds of their employees hush-hush, kind of like what happened with Hollywood.
The show actually went with the central concept of the comic, but then they realized the rest of the comic is at odds with it because Butcher and his team make for stronger Supes than the actual Supes. They instead went the Batman route of countering Supes with strategies and tactics, which is why Batman is popular among DC fans. Meanwhile, Ennis' comic can't even carry out its central theme of the Boys defeating strong but untrained supes, because the Boys themselves are just as much super-powered as their enemies, and they're usually better trained than them. So the story is reduced to some edgy bois in trenchcoats brutally slaughtering cartoon people or blackmailing them with pictures of them having sexual funny-business.

I need to sperg out a little on this shit, just take a look at this:
> nigger uses tools of a jew to kill a bunch of "white chuds"
I'm going to link a Sam Hyde clip here, but the TL;DW is that ugly/disgusting people make media of high production of stories that are immoral and gross. A lot of resources goes into creating stuff that has nothing of moral value, that is a sign of people who don't deserve "to be around" us.
Eric Kripke is a textbook example of a jew who can't create something of beauty, he can only direct repulsive images and turn everything into a hideous story with nothing inspiring or worth remembering. It really is just a moral snuff film, if you legitimately enjoy this show, you are a disgusting piece of shit. Some stuff should not be made/produced or be preserved, because it has no value and is just made to demoralize you. This is why you should always be careful when consuming jew made media, because it's fucked up. The "it's a warning about..." meme doesn't excuse this shit.
I wanted to make a list of all the pozzed shit in this show, but it's literally every single scene, why even bother.
Also, shout out to Bigbunjeeeeee being the only anti-redditor on youtube calling this show out for how shit it really is.

Funny enough, nowadays most white chuds probably support Jews more than the average Liberal who enjoys the ''satire'' from this show. Which makes this scene all the more hilarious and hypocritical.

Edit: Great video, "Jewish, by the way. Remember that." perfectly sums up the show post-s01.
