>tfw the show's ending is going to be worse than the the comic>they're not even going to use the clone and even if they do it'll be even shittierNo bossa bossa bossa bossa bossa bossa bossa bossa will save this show
stop watching boyslop
>>220560530the comic doesn't end with homelanders death
>>220560530this art style is so fucking ugly idk how anyone could read this shit
>>220560875Reddit söyboys don't know what beautiful art looks like so it's pretty much just made for them.
>>220560530Homelander wins, everyone dies.
>>220561022that makes sense since they're the ones that treat ugliness as a virtue
Didn't someone "leak" the plot for season 5 a while before the first episode aired? Anyone screenshotted that? I wanna see how it held up
>>220560530The Boys started fine first season and was better than the source material, but it turned into The Goys and The Redditors very fucking quickly, somehow even worse than the awful comic it is based on.If you are still watching this intellectually dishonest garbage that is a midwit's idea of brilliant satire, you are beyond saving.
>>220561104Judging by the teaser it could be true, it looks like Ashley probably gets chased down and killed by Homelander. But it still looks like shit, like this teaser really does look like it has the quality of a fan production. https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/2056022692357144990
>>220560875It's bad but at least it's not Steve Dillon, where every character has the same ugly face.
>>220561719its a really good face tho
was season 5 written by reddit mods? its even worse than the seasons before. the writing is so fucking bad, I'm not sure if I should continue to watch this trainwreck and I'm only 30 mins into the first episode of season 5
>>220561773He's a good artist desu and he can pretty much draw any scene with good quality but he has a pretty serious case of same face syndrome Even his female characters look the same
>>220561773His Punisher run was kino but even the women look like Frank in a wig.
>>220561022>don't know what beautiful art looks likepost one example so people can cry from laughter
>>220560875lmaoThe Boys switched artists halfway through and the first guy was way worse
>>220561899>previously, on The Boys
>>220561272Looks like these leaks are actually realhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TheBoysLeaks/s/f1IXo5jguV
>>220561786It doesn't get better. In fact what makes it more disappointing is the fact that Season 5 not only peaks at the first episode, some of the important plot threads from the last season were basically rendered moot.>Homelander was responsible for Flight 47 going down? NVM it didn't matter because they just said it was AI generated and there's no in-universe backlash against 'Omelander for it>The supe killing virus they spent the entirety of Gen V's first season and Season 4 building up? Lol no it turns out that while yes it kills regular supes, it can't kill Soldier Boy because it turns out he took a super BETTER version of the formula called V1 that apparently makes you immortal. So now S5 is all about everyone going on this wild goose chase for it.>Butcher going on his own to kill supes with the virus? Butcher viewing Ryan as a lost cause because he straight up killed The Boys' CIA friend? We can't do that, it would go against the status quo! So now we're back to square one where Butcher is friends with The Boys again and him and Ryan are now on better terms like nothing happened.>Sister Sage built up Homelander for power, is it because she's powerhungry too? lol no turns out her keikaku was just to live in a shitty bunker while Supes and Humans kill each other.They also literally waste an entire plotline on Butcher's fucking dog and how much he likes to fuck his Homelander plushie in an episode called "One-offs" which is literal filter in an already drawn out season. But the worst part is that the action in Season 5 is truly abysmal dogshit. These two scenes in Season 2? Believe it or not they're better than anything that happens through most of Season 5, its almost like they had no budget for anything but paying the main cast. The show became genuine dogshit starting with S4 and it gets worse over time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBA2WRknF-Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcvw7_UreqA
>>220561104nah the teaser debunked some things from it
>>220562128>They also literally waste an entire plotline on Butcher's fucking dog and how much he likes to fuck his Homelander plushie in an episode called "One-offs" which is literal filter in an already drawn out seasonI thought this was kind of funny and don't see it as a flaw of the season (and there are many), despite it not being that great being a clear ripoff of that one High Maintenance episode, just with more vulgarity.I'm gonna be happy when this show is over cuz it really doesn't deserve us talking about it at any length kek, it's not even fun to autopsy.
>>220560875if I wanted characters to be pretty I'd be reading manga.
>>220560530Take comfort in knowing Kripke will probably never get any work again after this
He will be fucking killed by *nnieEven Homelander ripping his head off would be better
>>220562128
>>220562306But Seth Rogen will and this abortion has his pudgy fingerprints all over it.
>>220562257Yeah, the moment the show ends its relevancy will quickly fade, so there's that to look forward to at least. Still frustrating how they fucked up the series so spectacularly. The Boys somehow don't even kill any members of the Seven, instead they just kill each other in the lamest ways possible that could have been done by ANYONE.
Would this have been better than what we got?https://youtu.be/mtN8GyDrhlo
>>220562365That is my only concern and it appears Seth Rogen no longer has any influence to make films like he used to so he will continue to go the parasitic producer route on promising TV shows and completely ruin them with his degenerate Jewy humor
>>220562344only chuds would be mad about thisso this board will hate it lmao
>>220562407100x yes and it would've been unique except Kripke is a fucking pussy who I guess got his balls chopped off by fans and executives after he got Dean Winchester killed off by the Cerberus dogs
>>220562407Leagues better. This is the sort of horror the show should have gone with, and yet they completely defanged Homelander this season. Not even in terms of his behavior, they made it to where a brap in his mouth could knock him out.
>>220560530The Boys is the kind of show you are only meant to watch through gory snippets and aura edits on Instagram reels. Who gives a shit about the "writing" or "story arcs".
i miss popclaw's tight TIGHT fuckin body
>>220562570>yet they completely defanged Homelander this season. Not even in terms of his behavior, they made it to where a brap in his mouth could knock him out.As an audience, you stop buying PSYCHO SUPERMAN as a threat once he's had dozens of scenes where he either just talks to the people he would supposedly murder on sight, or gets foiled by the most mundane things and plot armor.
Kripke is just a bad writer and he wasted one of the greatest twists to portray Homelander as Trump.> The Black Noir character is very different and interesting in the comics. Was that ever a storyline that you were interested in at all?>No, and I don’t mind saying it. In the comics he’s a clone of Homelander this entire time and is actually the one doing all these horrific things. And again, it’s a hell of a twist. But it’s like, well wait, the villain I’ve been following isn’t really the villain. And mileage varies, and I’m sure fans are mad I’m not going that way, but that felt not as satisfying to me. I’m like, if I’m going to follow this villain, I want this guy to be the villain. So I was never really into the clone idea.>Plus, cloning feels like too — I’m going to sound silly — but cloning feels too magical for the show. We try to say that superheroes are the only slippery banana, and that everything else we try to make as grounded as possible.
>ITT: chuds seething in impotent rage
>>220562570the things we lost...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrjYXmZ6ZbU
>>220561931heh
>>220562407It’s what the audience wanted since season 1. They even tricked us with the posters of Homelander watching the nukes go off and all the wreckage of Vought Tower
He doesn't understand the Garth Ennis comic and he doesn't understand that people love entertaining villains. No wonder the show turned to shit when he deviated from the comic.> “The Boys” is a show that examines, and very much damns, toxic masculinity. There’s a theory of the “bad fan” — people who root for villains just because they like the bad things that they do. Do you ever think about The Boys’ fandom and wonder about the ratio of bad fans?>I have to believe that the “bad fans” are a very small minority. Because I don’t know how you root for Homelander. When the guy is slurping up breast milk, and being the weakest character in the show over and over and over again and being like — he’s not even particularly macho. He’s weird. He’s weird and thin-skinned, and I don’t know how you look at that guy and you’re like, “That’s my guy.”
god damn that thing was insane
>>220562672>We try to say that superheroes are the only slippery banana, and that everything else we try to make as grounded as possible.Huh, I've been expecting a quote like that for a long timeSince they also cut out>the space station>Tek Knight's power armor>the whole team that's literally cyborgs>V zombies
>>220562407i cringe at homolander more than i am scared of him. he should be s1 omniman levels of terrifying
This is the season 8 of GoT with the cast taking potshots at the show all over again.
>>220562717>being the weakest character in the show over and over and over againno shit the audience doesn't fear him. you made your main villain into clown
>>220562672they were building ryan into what homelander clone was. why did they pretty much abandon him this season? he is supposed to be stronger than homelander was at his age
>>220562421Words can't describe how much I hate that cunt
>>220562672>Plus, cloning feels like too — I’m going to sound silly — but cloning feels too magical for the show.why the fuck was this retarded hired for this
>Starlight's big moment will be a pity win against Deepyawn...
From only watching the clips of the show alone and having a general idea of what the writers are about, I can say that the ending will be Homelander being raped to death in some manner.
>>220562717>how could you like him when I tried so hard, and damaged the show, to make him unlikable?
>>220560875The art style feels charming nowadays precisely because so many comic artists are heavily influenced by anime.What’s really egregious, though, is how absurdly text-heavy some pages are.
>>220562741Homelander was menacing in the season 1 with Butcher, Frenchie and Hughie being genuinely scared of him when they first met him. Homelander didn’t have a disgusting habit to drink breast milk in the Ennis comics too.
>just straight up beats Homelander>refuses to elaborate>diesWhat was the point of that
>>220562717>he’s not even particularly macho. He’s weird. He’s weird and thin-skinned, and I don’t know how you look at that guy and you’re like, “That’s my guy.”because that's literally me and it's fun to look at what I would be like with superpowers and view it as a fun cautionary tale.
>>220562953The show constantly establishes that “taking down” a supe by knocking them out or restraining them isn’t impossible. The real problem is actually killing them. There simply wasn’t any weapon capable of penetrating Homelander’s skin. The closest anyone got was Maeve, one of the strongest supes alive, stabbing him full force through the ear, and even that barely did anything beyond annoying him.
>>220562878I don't understand what they're even going for with Homelander, because he has done multiple horrible things throughout the series before he even entered his Season 5 "delusions of godhood"-arc. They can't decide whether they truly want you to fear him, whether they want you to pity him (one talking point from one these threads that of course sticks in my head is that hes more of a product of Vought and a lack of family than anything), or whether they want you to cringe at him. Because his meltdowns are basically Chris-Chan tier instead of terrifying.
>>220560530I can't even rewatch early episodes because that will make the decline feel so much worse. Season one felt like a lived-in world. Children would argue which supe was stronger. Supes would have merchandise and advertisements in the background of every shot. A-Train's race drew a massive crowd. But the scope has gotten smaller as the show went on. Culminating in a final season that's 50% characters talking in empty rooms.
>>220563087I couldn't unsee it when somebody pointed out how pathetically few extras were in this scene compared to The Righteous Gemstones
Homelander's actor carried the show behind the scenes too.
>>220563206Meanwhile here's a Star Trek episode that was filmed in the middle of a budget crisis at Paramount. Dozens of extras all in period costume. Custom casino set built (or repurposed). All for a filler sidequest episode.
>>220563402Him, Urban and the MM actor have been liking posts shitting on S5. You can tell even Starr is annoyed by the writers retardation We get it jews trump is under your beds (despite giving money to you)
>>220562735Best season ever!
>>220563074They started getting more and more annoyed at the fact that people liked HL a lot so they made him as irredeemable as possible despite people feeling bad for his childhood and HL actually trying to be a good father
>>220563402>It's easy to fall into a Saturday Night Live trap of being a parodywhy did they decide to fall into this trap if they knew about it?
Btw redditors are chimping out about the show.
>>220563402You know, when I imagined these writers in a room, I always pictured a sort of "you feel me? he's kinda like...right? right?" vibe, not a literal "HOMELANDER IS TRUMP" dictate to completely warp the show into propaganda. I'm still surprised by my own naivete sometimes.
>>220564255google is failing me now but I saw an interview a few years back where Kripke bitches about people accusing him of "mixing the blood of infants into matzah" and it blew my mind that he was even aware of that, like he had gone full rabbi
>>220561843they really do lmao
>>220560875Feels like the standard for everything crashed these past few decades, a friend of mine is a theatergoer and told me many acclaimed new Broadway shows that wouldn't even have been produce a decade ago.Invincible for example is a complete shitshow, it looks like garbage, the writting is embarassing, Hellsing Ultimate came out 20 years ago and is better on every single aspect.
>>220560530>jeet leaker posted two weeks ago Annie would fight Deep in the white house and then be killed by HL>trailer shows her fighting deep in the white house and then teases her deathim sorry mumbaianon I fucking kneel i shouldnt have doubted you.
>>220560530I thought the clone thing was already ruled out like 2 seasons ago.
>>220564793Annie has been a useless character for a while now.Would honestly not care if she dies.
>>220564854Same, I'm just kicking myself because he leaked the whole finale in one of these threads and now he's seemingly been vindicated. I hate giving indians a W but credit where it's due.
>>220563957Starr was the one saying this. The writers & producers weren’t listening.
>>220564854its funny she sucks less cocks compared to comic and its worse KEK
>>220564706you re reaching the top of cherrypicking autism comparing to anime/manga whats next compare it to goku?
>>220563821Starr did everything he could to humanize Homelander. >>220564854Starlight is a writer's(Kripke's) pet and reddit's fan-favourite character.
>>220564255I'm pretty sure Kripke straight up said homelander is meant to represent trump in an interview years ago
>>220560875Not even the worst artist working on a Garth Ennis comic
>The Boys go on a mission>all they do is kill random goons/hired guards>also maybe get some innocent bystanders killed>nothing is solved, the mission was a waste of timeIt’s hilarious how much this has happened. They’re more of a danger to the world than Homelander/Vought
>people expected a show about regular humans hunting down superheroes and finding ways to kill em in clever ways with gripping drama and satire and vfx and I'm like 'woah, where did you get that idea from?'
>>220563018Semtex up the bum like translucent.
>>220561899>...!What did he mean by this? No, seriously, what is this meant to sound like in real life? A grunting noise?
>>220565273At least it's not as bad as the spider-man comics. I swear, the last time I tried to read one it was just abstract modern art.
If sage doesn't fucking die in the final episode I am never paying for amazon prime again, even if it means I lose free shipping
>>220566434huh??? my pepe!
>>220566434>sage dyingthe jeet anon who has been proven truthful sicne ep 8s trailer dropped says she and Ashley become president and VP lol
>>220563018Mister Marathon was strong enough to punch Soldier Boy and hurt him, he should have been strong enough to stab an unconscious Homelander in the eye/ear 10,000 times with a chopstick until he scrambled his brain
>>220566748The Boys AOC killed the supe with her powers.
>>220566748I'm sure they'd have tried that if Soldier Boy was OK with just stepping out.
>>220563402>random kiwi actor has to tard wrangle a whole hundreds millions cost production suffering from mass TDS hysteriaGrim.
>>220560875Digital airbrush shading and gradients are always so fucking ugly that its outstanding people ever used them.
>>220560530>the show's ending is going to be worse than the the comicThe comic is straight ass though. I gave up during the 6th TPB.The show is also slop, but the deep is funny.
>>220567338The deep and soldier boy are the most entertaining parts by a mile
>>220561899>The Boys switched artists halfway throughThe Boys swapped artists every other TPB lol The fuck you mean half way through?
>>220565278Seasons four and five have just been The Boys fighting random supes who exist just for that fight. And all of them have a bizarre sex power because that’s all the writers can think of. Even capeshit: Japan like One Piece and My Hero Academia can have hundreds of unique powers and not one involves fighting with penises.
>>220560530>the show's ending is going to be worse than the the comicthe black noir reveal wasn't the end nor was the final battle with homelander in the comics, why do people say this?
>>220567404Because they are larping as comic readers, when the comic is genuinely garbage not worth touching. Garth Ennis was given the freedom to shit out whatever he wanted, and he wrote some donkey dick cheese shite a teenager would come up. All edge no point.
>>220560530Homelander will somehow die anyway.Butcher will go crazy and be defeated anyway.It won't be much different.
So based on the trailer, which of the like 10 fanfic tier leaks is real
>>220567464>hating the comicsfiltered
>>220567338Deep hasn't been funny all season
Just caught up with ep 7. Why the fuck would homelander order them to murder the focus group in a retarded way like that? What was he hoping to gain?
The show keeps getting worse because you guys still haven't realized that Homelander is meant to be TrumpKripke is willing to sacrifice the show's quality to drive this point home, so please put your media literacy hats on and do better
>>220568061They are making the classic mistake of the world the bad guy creates is actually desirable
>>220568061Homelander... is Trump? But Homelander's my favorite character due to his story and acting. Maybe this Trump guy is pretty cool?
>>220568061how can homelander be trump if he hasnt donated any money to israel? maybe the last episode will finally address that
>>220568204retard every one of the show's producers is israeliso you're not getting anything except Evil White Christian Republican Antisemites
>>220567391Both of those have a character dressed like a prostitute with the power of making people horny and the other has a character with the power of genderbending and another that turns you into stone if your cock gets hard/cunt gets wet. Capeshit is shit everywhere in the world
