Slop.

People wanting homelander to go “scorched earth” are showing that they don’t understand the character. If he was as powerful as he said he was, it wouldn’t have gotten to this point. I know that a destructive character can be fun, but it’s like people weren’t watching the show

But that ending was fine just very confused and tried to resolve so many different plots in one episode , but this is why you don’t get attached to cape shit

I don’t like how homelander is a stand-in for Trump, was defeated and illustrated a hope that we can all go back to brunch after this is over. And vought will be much better now under new leadership. At least that’s how I read it

Also really left a bad taste in my mouth that Israel wasn’t poked at even once, but shouldn’t be surprised I guess. Liberal fan fiction

This asshole makes it so embarrassing to be a pervert. It was cool till he showed up i swear.

I watched the show because of Jensen Ackles, since I liked him in Supernatural and he just oozes charisma despite the SB character being genuinely evil.

But if we're being honest the show is really bad. Season 1 is the best of the worst but leaning into the caricature of Trump as the show went on definitely killed the momentum and satire of the show.

The show and its spinoff is a very vulgar, cruel, obscene, program. SA is played for laughs in Season 4, and generally has terrible pacing and storytelling. The deaths in The Boys are all very cruel and sadistic, played for shock value, but it is just cruel and barbaric.

Anthony Starr was incredible as Homelander. He transcended the script's prescription for his character and turned Homelander into a menacing figure, a deeply disturbed psycopath that started unraveling and escalating his menace throughout the series.

The liberal politics and resolution of The Boys is unsurprising. Liberals are only becoming critical of US Power when the Republican is in power, never questioning - out of captive fear of abandonment to the Republicans - the Democratic party and its inefficacy in combatting the GOP. Largely out of complicity themselves, but there are parts of indifference towards the vulnerable and fear of escalation (read: loss of privilege) without the Democrats.

Andor's revolutionary expression is a fluke in these stories on streaming platforms that are based in politics.

Therefore its unsurprising for The Boys' ending. Even in the comics the message was to embrace the learned helplessness and trust that the State and vigilantism (human resistance) will prevail. Nothing preventative to stop these entities, just reactive.

And that's what superheroes are. Reactionary to crises. They don't solve problems that cause problems, they defend status quo that produces them.

My favorite part of the finale is that Vought is unharmed and still operates on the same level as before. This is just peak Liberal shit.

I kind of love how fash will recognise that liberal storytelling is inherently unsatisfying, especially the endings, and they'll propose "solutions" that are literally the only way to make the story even more unsatisfying. There's a reason even these losers don't watch Nazi made films even though they had a massive film industry, because fash cannot tell satisfying stories because it relies on actual human connection.

Cybersmith saw the fascist with the fucked up breast milk fetish and finally felt represented by the media... and then they took it all away from him

Wait wait wait are you telling me there were still chuds watching that show expecting Homelander to be presented as the one in the right?

I do think that letting the badguys win can sometimes be an interesting choice for tv and film. I dont think that's what this guy wants though.

I was okay with the ending. In fact its basically what I figured would end up happening as soon as they introduced the idea that soldier boy's blast could negate powers. The specifics were way off but close enough.

The things I hated were basically everything else about the season. The V1 didn't actually do anything. The college supes existed for 30 seconds and had virtually zero effect on the story. Frenchie is such an annoying character I hoped he died years ago. MM's actor is getting worse at his job somehow. Way too many things to list.

I mean, the ending season was a bit "meh", but got damn was it great to see Homelander as he really was deep down, groveling and aired out to the world on live TV.

This dude has to be joking....right?

The Boys is one of the more obvious examples of a show keeping the same liberal tone throughout but in between every season the chuds watching have gone even further right wing. They can't admit that they have changed their own positions so they blame the show for going woke

Mfers are idolizing a guy whos clearly meant to be just ultimately a bully while ignoring the real embodiment of "masculinity (toxic and positive)" character butcher (like isnt that why the comic was called THE BOYS??)

Anyway the blatantly obvious setups for the spin offs sucks but I hate to say this but media literacy is truly on the low these days.

Homelander should have killed the nonbelievers and ushered in Heaven on Earth.

Was gonna make aq joke about Taiping heavenly kingdom, but does China even exist in The Boys universe?

I don't know what the ending was, but I know in my heart that such an ending is the same sort of desire as Light Yagami, Eren Yegar, Patrick Bateman, and Tyler Durden to "get away with it". You simply must have gotten got by the plot to want such a thing

I was fine with the ending, predictable of course, but, I just couldn't see them ending it with homelander winning.

Only thing that bothered me was how soldier boy exited. A rear choke and that it he's done? Maybe they are leaving the door open for a spinoff, idk. I just thought they did him dirty.
