Do people think this is not in character for him?
Because it very clearly is for anyone who actually watched the show.

>>220651403
>watched the show
Thankfully we weren't as retarded as you. We're just here to make fun of you for doing so.
>>
>>220651403
I don't watch capeshit, let alone capeshit that's meant to subvert expectations. So no, I haven't watched the show lmao
>>
>consistently have a plan in season 1
>no plan in finale
yeah no
>>
>>220651403
Yeah, I thought it was fine. This is a show where people get comically whipped by giant dicks and nuts, with the first supe getting killed by a bomb up the ass, so one of them pleading with offering to consume feces and suck phallus seemed on-brand, plus the whole thing of Homelander being insecure and any of his confidence and mental strength coming from his powers.
>>
he literally knows butcher is straight. why would he think that would do anything?
>>
>>220651403
I don't watch shows for shit eaters. Dick suckers on the other hand...
>>
I haven't watched the show since season 2 I think? Did they ever introduce Jack from Jupiter?
>>
>>220651403
The issue is that one of the three methods The Boys knew how to generate hype was “Shove the camera in Anthony Starr’s face” (and make YouTube clips)
They unintentionally gave Homelander more character development and engaging angst than their own protagonists. The heart to heart Homelander had with the Legend is above any scenes Hughie or Butcher get.
The payoff to all this emotional investment? Jackshit. It simply would have been better writing to leave Homelander alive and suffer without his powers, rotting in some prison. The writers were so detached because they truly believed Homelander couldn’t be empathized with, yet told the story of a paranoiac who got taken advantage of over and over again.

Bravo, Kripke

they drained his his super intelligence and super memory retard

>>220651700
lmao he didn't evolve as a character except to become more pathetic and demanding of love and respect
this was in character
>>
>>220651403
people think it's supposed to be Trump and they're triggered, even though half of 4chan has turned on Trump anyway
>>
>>220651595
Because Homelander doesnt view sex from a gay or straight romantic lens. He views it from a power balance lens.
He made that much clear with Deep, Stillwell, Becca, Stormfront, Firecracker, and his talks with Soldier Boy.
Hence, sucking dick and eating shit. Thats what he thinks he's supposed to do to live as the weaker party.
>>
>>220651403
for me the issue isn't that its out of character, its just horribly paced and anticlimactic
like last season was moving towards homelander having complete power, and at the start of this season they make a huge fuss about V1, how anyone who gets it would basically become immortal if they could survive using it
then only 2 episodes later, they magically find a way to de power him, rendering the entire plot about V1 pointless
like had they let homelander go actual scorched earth similarly to the comics for a couple of episodes, then had an actual fight then it wouldn't have been as bad
also, only butcher and frenchie die, the stakes just never felt high at all
>>
>>220651403
Eh wasn't he sucking his quasi-mom's tit in one of the first episodes?
Never watched anything beyond that but he always seemed to have severe developmental issues.
>>
>>220652269
nta but i think his death, and literally only his death, was well-acted and executed. everything surrounding it was dogshit, but at least we can say it was clearly wasted potential.
>>
>>220652156
Homelander was supposed to be trump?

He's asexual. He doesn't even understand human sexuality, sex is a power thing for him.

>>220652308
exactly. in his final moments Homelander's mind was racing trying to think of different pleading tactics that he either had to use when he was a kid - or that he saw other people using when faced with certain death. tormented thoughts are all he had access to

eating shit is a left wing thing though
>>
>>220652656
Didn’t the actor who played homelander push back on kripkes TDS retardation on multiple occasions.
>>
>>220651403
i thought it was fine, i think my only gripe with his death is that there should've been more screentime devoted to him being depowered and maybe have some interactions between him and other characters. his death was televized but i don't think we really got to see any actual reactions too
>>
>>220652761
I don't know. But I have a feeling he's not perfectly happy. He has liked Twitter posts that criticize the show.
>>
Why didn’t he beg for his life when soldier boy was about to depower him in season 3?
>>
>>220652966
Because about to being depowered is different

>No you don't understand it's supposed to be bad! The way in which it achieved its badness akshully makes perfect sense so you can't criticise it!

Chuds are just really stupid. It's literally the same as the ending of Death Note. It's more vulgar, sure, but that's because of the nature of this show.

The bomb up the ass was actually necessary to kill off the superhero since his skin was impenetrable.
They weren’t just planting bombs in people’s asses for shits and giggles. Season 1 wasn’t some masterpiece but it was watchable because the gratuitous violence and peepeepoopoo stuff flowed naturally from the context of the show, the characters, and their motivations in a humorous way. It was slop but it was watchable slop that respected the audience enough to put forth the minimum effort to get you to suspend disbelief.
By S5 it was a rambling incoherent mess of jumbled scenes and nonsensical characters.
>>
>>220651403
It's the character was already devoid of any real context, and they fumbled the last chance they had to give him any. A decent ending could have included every part of the final fight between Homelander and Butcher, if they'd done more leading up to it.
>>
>>220652156
Nobody is triggered by this except in your diseased mind. It was a shit season with a shit eating and dick sucking ending.
>>
It wouldn't have been so bad if they just did more. This is THE fight of all fights in the show. It should have lasted about 3-4 more minutes at least. It's just over so quickly you barely even get to take in Homelander at his weakest and knocking death's door. It's like they wanted to breeze past this big moment for no reason. Did Frenchie's eulogy and all the talk about assholes need to drag on that long?
>>
>>220651403
It started good with "all the times I could've killed you", that's in line with his ego, then it just derailed into a humiliation fetish fantasy focused on sapping away his last intimidating shreds instead of a realistic breakdown for a god wannabe losing it all.
>>
>>220651403
imagine actually watching this garbage
kys yourself

the entire show was shit

>>220654496
Did you eat it on live tv?

The show isn't well written but this is even worse. The whole show is about indulgent degenerates getting their violent comeuppance. Homelander was always going to get brutally fucked up one way or another.

what's "this", what isn't in character, ive never seen the show so tell me what it is instead of using some pronoun, faggot
