I remember when people said the show was kino and the comics were trash lmaoEvery single supposed “good change” has dragged the show down in the long run while squandering whatever good quality it was supposedly generating originally
Nah, the comics are still juvenile shit. The show is a deep satirical examination of white Americans dark underbelly and its political extremism
>>153664629APOLOGIZE
>>153664629The show has the same problem as the comic book>popular at first because it’s controversial>people quickly lose interest>the series gets canceled and the ending is rushedEven the comic book’s ending was kind of rushed. Everything else is even sillier than the comic book. They rely on comic book tropes even more than Ennies, who’s a huge nerd making callbacks to comics left and right. I also don’t like the Sevens; they’re underdeveloped in the comic, but in the series, the way they’re written is much less interesting. They play favorites with the redemption of the guy who runs fast, just because he’s Black. Now I understand the complaints about the Gen V ending
>>153664629>>153664751>>153665302>>153665381Schizo OP, please kill yourself to stop the schizo.
>>153664751They're juvenile but not shit. It's idea is 'shitty superhero parodies get killed' and it runs with it the whole way. The show, aside from season 1, is just a surface level political satire and easy jabs at right wing politics. It doesnt do anything amazing, just show you the world as you think it is but with horny fucks with superpowers.
>>153665401My point is that Gen V was a great opportunity to do something interesting with the concept. But they play comic book tropes straighter than the guy who references obscure Jack Kirby facts
>>153665381I don't find the ending of the comics to be rushed. By that point we did most of what we could do with the story.
>>153664629Season 1 was barely decent and everything after that was just a freefall into bottomless pit of shit, especially after they decided to milk this shit for another 5 years minimum with spinoffs and barely being able to connect their shit together or just retcon shit willynilly.Comics are still just Ennis having a autistic shitfit about capes
>>153665302I have no box to check because I knew from the beginning Rogen would shit the bed
>>153665432Nooooooo we have to hate on the comics so just agree that it was rushed even though it ended at a good timeThe comics were good. They did like you say, and explored pretty much ever decent avenue available in terms of plot options, types of superhero they wanted to satirise and mock and make references to, then they didn’t drag out this homelander big bad threat and had him start his coup pretty much as soon as he broke bad. Leading right into butchers planMeanwhile it’s felt like the show has had to artificially come up with bullshit reasons for homelander to not kill the boys, and then the boys not to kill homelander. Solely so they could keep making extra seasons because it’s popular (and now spin-offs Jesus)People say season 1 was the exception and is still good but I think that’s more that its errors didn’t have enough time to show how poorly planned the plot was. Like, I still don’t get why Butcher tells Hughie that homelander is the ONLY supe who doesn’t have any vices and “he’s a saint” when he in the same reason confesses that homelander raped his wife and his entire motivation exists to try and get revenge on homelander.Just seems like butcher lied to mislead the audience for the ending to hit harder. RetardedI won’t say politics is the problem. Ennis pretty clearly skewers Bush era Americas corporations and politics etc but it’s presented as so silly it’s hard to take it as anything but the comedy it is. The show feels like it’s made for Redditors and pre Musk Twitter to post captions of and jizz over
