The weirdest thing about the finale to me is that there's no actual closure, the world is not made better. Vought still exists with Edgar at the helm. Nothing about the society was changed. They're pretending Homelander dying solves everything when shit was already terrible before him. They're still living in the same horrible society as they were in s1e1.

I cant beleive how they just walked into the white house, how weak homelander was even before the kimiko blast, how fucking lame it all was. OhFather was the only black character I've seen on TV for years that I didn't want to fuck off, and he died a retarded death too.
>>
>>220631662
So the actual end of the comic that really wraps it up nicely is that Stillwell is looking over the next generation of supes, he realizes that they're dogshit and he can't sell them and he doubles over and whispers "bad product." The next time we see him he's a loon living in the tropics, the point being that Vought is screwed and failing as a company is worse for Stillwell as a manifestation of the corporate world than actually killing him.

do they do anything like that at all?
>>
>>220631645
That's actually a good bit of storytelling. Neither Butcher nor Homelander have any experience with fighting toe-to-toe against a super-powered individual.

Only Soldier Boy has, and he immediately takes advantage of Homelander's weaknesses, like his retarded cape.
>>
>>220631727
why not just get someone else to play maeve?
>>
>>220631662
You just have to hope Vaught (read: government) introduces measures to prevent another Homelander (read: Trump) from coming to power (read: be elected)
>>
Remember that cool fight between Kimiko and Black Noir in S1?
>>
>>220631662
Homelander was a net good on the world if you really think about it since he killed lots of Vought supes and fucked up a lot of their plans.
>>
>>220631496
>Homelander being Pathetic
That was the only good thing about the season, Starr killed that scene. The entire season was a poor paced shit show of a mess.
>>
>>220631671
That would be cool, I like it. But I am not sure if Soldier Boys daughter could ever be done dirty like that by Noir, she should be a little stronger. Although I guess Noir defeating her is quite inconsistent with her performance against Homelander.

The concept is really good and genuinely interesting. The whole show was full of such wanted potential.

I feel like Homelander was just as much Starr's creation as it was anyone else's. Much like Joker for Heath Ledger, he understood him instinctively and seeing Kripke debase him for laughs and "MUH GUMPFFFFF" :((((( ought to be aggravating.

>>220631850

Feel the exact same dude. It almost feels fake or made by AI (and I am not one of those retards calling everything AI).
Maybe it's just weird seeing Homelander so bloodied up after years of barely getting a bruise or a bloody nose, and that's probably partially why, but the whole thing seems very digital as well. I think they used CGI for a good amount of the blood and bruising on his face. It just doesn quite look like Antony Starr, something is wrong.

Starr killed that scene. He was the only good thing about this season.

It looked like the writer wanted to make him "humiliate himself" on purpose, like "look at how those big dudes actually are eheh!", after they showed us how Homelander was threated like shit and was experimented on, trying to make us sympathize with him. It feels off and "ugly".
The only good thing is how Starr portrayed it, absolutely majestic, what a great actor he is.

>>220631810
Butcher prying 'oamlandah's head open with a crowbar wasnt necessary in my opinion, especially they had already deviated so much from the comics.
The real punishment he truly deserved would be life as a normie with nothing and no one, since his entire character was based on the idea that he was the ultimate life form. Well guess what, now you have nothing, and no one, and the only reason you got any respect from anyone in the first place was because they were terrified of you, and now you dont even have that. Enjoy the rest of your finite existence in prison, slowly getting older and weaker and fatter and then dying alone with no one and nothing.
>>
>>220631947
because it is not satisfying
for all the talk about how evil he is there are other supes who got away scott-free and killed more people than he did

the fight is not even rewarding it's like 10 punches, they hold him, kimiko lasers him, he gets depowered, it's over in like 2 minutes

and now people say that it's supposed to be bad and unsatisfying, which is a cop out i've seen many times now

>MIL faction is the tie-breaker. yes the big military tech suppliers that briefly gets mentioned, back the boys
>stan wants vought to be a global conglomerate that serves good products/services, and bad supes jeopardize it, have brought nothing but turmoil recently. bad for stock prices, bad for him, since he gets paid in options and performance metrics
>don't have an entire season about SB and payback
>don't revisit SB and classic v1 supes in s5, or if you do, then have SB redeem himself by him helping to take down HL
>have an actual "evil president" who mirrors trump and who backs both HL/bad supes, and the MIL. he's the ultimate double-crosser
>stan is the ultimate "good CEO guy" who mirrors bezos (keep amazon's biggest owner happy)
>HL finds out vought is against him and goes nuts
>big final fight of the boys, good supes vs HL and bad supes

- but homelander's power kicks in while he's half a corpse
- climax is homelander doing his usual powertripping shit while half a corpse
- butcher finishes him off with crowbar like he did with noir in comic

krikpke could've easily done that with an actual "businesstard turned president who HL backed, but then who backstabs HL" instead of making HL the analogy of trump. HL could've just been someone being manipulated by the fictional trump, and when everyone betrays HL in favor of supporting the old money old tech mil-industrial side, he snaps and goes scorched eaf... then the boys go "see we toldya so, you need us" and they get the backing they need to take HL + bad supes down.

an interesting twist would've been butcher forgiving homelander, sparing his life and forcing him to live as a powerless human.
right before swinging the crowbar, he sees his brother lenny in him, a scared, weak little boy.
it would've perfectly illustrated butcher's character development

>>220632697
GoT had "more" to ruin
plus the first half of the Night King episode and the dragon destroying shit up was great IMO, it had a handful of "ok that's neat" moments

I think they filmed two endings depending on how popular Gen V was. If Gen V got big ratings, Marie would have been more involved.
In fact, I think they filmed three different shows and Frankensteined together whatever test audiences liked most. Something Vought would do. That explains what happened to the budget, and why character behavior was so inconsistant.

That isn't the problem tranny. They sold him as a threat, and alluded to his fantasies of mass murder and in the end he does nothing. By all means have him be pathetic once he's depowered. I read a few ideas better than what they did:
> Have him literally begging The Deep to protect him, after having cut him down earlier. Good development for both of them as Deep can at least finally reject the desperate fuck (before dying himself).

True. It would be cool if they gave him a character arc or some development though. Or if they played into the plot twist and made him the villain controlling homelander via religion.

The funny thing, like many lefty fantasies, is that the fundamental logic they're trying to mock or denigrate is what's actually used to solve the problem. In this example the "supremacist" is literally stronger and better than the rest, he's literally not "just like the rest of you". Yet this rhetoric is supposed to mimic the unearned right wing supremacist lines.
Then when he's begging for his life, saying he'll suck dick to live (the humiliation here is technically homophobic but lefties can't be consistent for 5 seconds), he does it only BECAUSE he's been depowered, and he's afraid because he's being assaulted by a physically stronger force.

That is, the "good guys" win by inverting the power structure so they can become the murderous fascist force. You may think this is a one-off mistake, or that "the boys weren't the good guys", but this is a much wider pattern in media. It also follows the same mental malfunction by which you see political cartoons criticizing someone for wanting border enforcement by showing an injun saying "when are you leaving", which reveals a central tenet of leftist essentialism (for everyone that's not a fucking white male). Injuns SHOULD have had borders, and have a RIGHT to the country, and it was an injustice that they ever lost it and even now aren't owning the entire continent.

Odd that it cut to black afterwards too. Hughie might've literally left the virus in the sprinkler tank, I mean how could he realistically remove it anyhow, considering it's a liquid but also airborne, which makes me think it offgasses, have fun containing it, there'll be virus particles floating about which'll kill supes once they enter anyway.

Not just that, but Butcher said it was Frenchie's idea to put it into the sprinkler tank, so really, Hughie stopping this plan also sullies Frenchie's memory and what he worked towards too, so...

The problem is that the show didn't seem to have a message.
It could have worked if the super powered people died. Then you could end it by everyone moving on, message being "we can't expect to be saved by super people, we have to do shit ourselves". Or maybe they restart their projects and start making new super people, and Hughie ends up as the new Butcher, ready to fight against them, message being "there will always be assholes doing things they can't control, we'll always need assholes to fight them".
Or something else. But this ending didn't seem to say anything.

But that's what all of Hollywood did for a decade, including indulging his fantasies about "taking us to Mars" and how EVs were going to save the environment. They'd still be dickriding him if he didn't have the Wrong Politics. He's both praised and unpersoned entirely unrelated to any reality.

Yeah they seem to magically know about her and not the fish genocide that happened. But since that wasn't actually his fault, maybe the writers though that'd be unfair and silly, so they shoehorned in something more unbelievable.
Super weird how they set up the whole "Remember the pipeline genocide" thing the PREVIOUS episode, yet have them chanting about something unrelated from seasons ago instead.

Good thing I never watched this shit again after the first season. Most modern tv shows like this are just so worthless, they never pay-off in any meaningful way, because the people behind them are so far up their own asses that they prioritize every unrelated bullshit over just making this fiction entertaining. Like you don't need to make Homelander likable, redeem him or even give him a dignified end, you don't need to show perceived real world opposition what for by taking it out on this fictional character - What you do have to do is giving the viewers a good and lengthy final confrontation after this was the almost untouchable main antagonist for 5 seasons and the main goal of the whole story is to kill him.

Even writing the most obvious generic ending would be a better script, because it would already be an upgrade to the writers trying to turn a story into their personal fanfiction where characters are just stand-ins for their personal issues and shitposts. I get when actors sometimes hate what happens to their characters, because imagine instead of getting to do your job you have to play dollhouse for people better suited with a tumblr blog rather than writing what happens in entertainment media with hundred millions in budgets.

>we don't fucking know how the fucking powers work or how powerful they are
We do know, they just can't write a consistent level. Even in the fucking same episode, a few minutes earlier Omelanda zips off into space in a second for his only off screen kill in the finale. Except he can't dodge out of the Oval office in the fight scene because..? He's prevented. By people who don't have near speedster powers.
Going back historically it's much worse. He's already lasered Kimiko in a fraction of a second, he just doesn't do it again this time for some reason.
>urr she's invulnerable now
Minutes earlier she was being shot through by regular bullets, and Starlight is shown without squibs since she's impervious to bullets.

You see it doesn't make sense, not because we don't know the powers, but because the writers don't know the powers. They write out of what's convenient to happen, like Starlight removing herself from electricity to dump ocean power man back in the ocean. She depowers herself and helps him despite not knowing the ocean hated him, because wouldn't it be funny if an octopus went up his asshole. They started with that premise and wrote backwards from it, even though it made no sense.

The worst part is they achieved nothing and arguably left things worse than they were. There are still uncontrollable supers, Vaught is government capture they will continue to churn supes and they will be even more than before, but instead of lame heroes roleplaying marvel rejects and making movies they will pump out the clowns to entertainment and the actual spooks into CIA and NSA. Supes killing normal people without consequences will continue and even increase. With time there will be more supes than normal people because you even if go for normal job you will have to compete with 20 sages and 20 normal people and guess what, normal people will not be hired for nothing more than janitors or working in fast food. Congrats you created a caste system where normal people are not even people.
