....yup, the comic is better than the TV series
>>220652157I really don't care for ennisslop.Prime candidates for a combined book and indeed man burning.
>>220652157>Homelander was bad but not that bad>the REAL fucked up crimes were actually done by the EVIL clone
I wonder...what would have happened if Homelander survived that encounter, if they managed to kill BN and he survived...Butcher is already on full kill anyone with superpowers mode, and Homelander showed himself as the n1 public enemy. Yet I find Butcher's words kinda sympathetic towards him
>>220652232That actually turns him into a very tragic character.
i hasn't make any sense of that dialogue
>>220652203Thank you for your extremely informative and helpful post, it was certainly of a level of quality that is very apparent.
dude blood
>>220652157>It's one of those left to right comicsGross
Show didn't have the based tranny fucker Martian Manhunter expy iirc. Comic will forever be superior.
>>220652259Butcher would have caved his head in with a crowbar.
>>220652259Noir is more powerful than Homelander, he is supposed to be the ultimate "anti Homie" weapon
>>220652287Outside homes and socialization groups ran by the state for the benefit for the mentally retarded it's really not the done thing to look for deep discourse of quality on the subject of infantile edge wrought by and for stunted case studies in catastrophic brain damage like your cranium in rectum lodged self.In essence, you're a clinical idiot and the only way you could improve the quality of any discussion would be to commit suicide in the middle of it.
>>220652157>You tricked me into acting like a psychopath killer, woe is me>This is supposed to be better lmao
>>220652434I tried so hard to give you the benefit of the doubt here but no amount of accounting for typos could make whatever the fuck you were trying to type out make sense.
>>220652434You tried too hard on that one and made a mess. You can just call someone a worthless retard and move on.
>>220652278Only if you're retarded of course
>>220652157Didn't he fuck soldier boy in the comic as well?
>>220652499Not sympathetic or redeemable, just tragic.
>>220652562Again. Only if you're retarded
>the Deep is black in the comics, they make him white and evil in the show>A-train is white in the comics, they make him black and good in the showa coincidence for sure
>>220652626Ironically that's what a retard would think, but whatever.
>>220652434This reads like it was written by someone only vaguely familiar with the concept of punctuation.
>>220652535Yes but not the same Soldier Boy as in the show. The comic one is a modern day pretender that's also a pussy, in the show it's the OG Soldier Boy who in the comics was long dead
>>220652157Why are his pants off? Was his shit eaten?
>>220652157Both are shit for retarded faggots, so that's largely irrelevant.
>>220653617Christ, the writing is so shit.
>>220652434I feel like there's a solid idea behind this insult(?) and it would be top-tier brutal if it were rewritten to be intelligible.
>>220653617this is so pretentious, I could almost feel the air as the office worker tips his hate and becomes Euphoric in his denial of God.
It's amazing how modern American writing is so shit that it makes edgy crass shit from the mid-2000s look fucking Shakespearean in comparison.
>>220653617Who's that supposed to be? Kushner?
>>220653904StillwellY'know, the Homelander surrogate mommy who got killed in season 1.Yes, it was a gender-swap.
>make a deconstruction of superheroes focusing on exploitivie capitalism and the egos they would get from being more powerful and in a special class above the rest>don't focus on israel in either adaptationWhat did they mean by this?
>>220653617I never watched the show, did they do that whole subplot where he fucks over his female assistant/lover and makes her the fallguy over the corporate fuckup and congress snafu?
>>220653808many such cases on this illiterate board
>>220652434Very funny to see people so fried they can't even read two sentences back-to-back. Good one, anon.
>>220653617Garth Ennis is a bottom of the barrel writer. All the edgy theatrics is designed to disguise this fact.
>>220653870There is no proof God exist
>>220653754infinitely better than anything from da teevee show though, dumb little dumb dumb
>>220654130Not at all actually. Homelander according to the comic's logic would've killed that guy and just doesn't because... he just doesn't. Bad writing all around
>>220652203you know, i don't really feel he's actually bad writer. he just gets called on to do shitty projects because of the nature of his first successes. "oh yeah, get the dude who makes everything gritty and the reader feel like shit." and he's stuck with that! now more than ever. poor guy. he'd probably like to write a children's book like "Goodnight Moon", but he can't, because he's forever pigeonholed as the "everything sucks, here's all the blood and rape. that doin' it for ya, nerds?" guy.
>>220654125>
>>220654163>Homelander according to the comic's logic would've killed that guyBut the whole point of Homelander in the comics is that he was just an overgrown child throwing a multi-decade long tantrum, he only did things to get a reaction out of people because he was a retarded sociopath given more power than he knew what to do with who thought he was already too far gone anyways.
>>220654289And kills people for no reason or because he felt like it, but yeah, you're right. This guy openly insulting Homelanderwouldn't enrage homelander and homelander wouldn't kill him because... he just doesn't. A lot of stuff is like that in the comic. They kind of happen and then let's focus on the next thing
>>220652157It's of its time and edge order but yes its better. The show dropped characterization for the entire main cast outside homeland just to make a strawman humiliation ritual.
>>220652157
>>220653617>a spoiled child's personal auschwitzWhat the fuck is that even supposed to mean? Does he get royalties for namedropping the holocaust?
>>220653617>a spoiled child's personal auschwitz
Those panels implied that Homie had the potential to be good
>>220654406>This guy openly insulting Homelanderwouldn't enrage homelander and homelander wouldn't kill him because...Because at the end of the day Homelander is a manchild and Stillwell in the comics was his surrogate daddy.He was throwing a fit to piss off daddy and got upset when daddy didn't care, but if he killed daddy then he wouldn't ever be able to see daddy upset.
>>220654163imagine being so retarded that you couldn't understand the clear context that the guy just manipulated homelander into not killing him
>>220654199that is the complete opposite of how vertigo and other independent publishers work you moron. he is the one pitching this shit.
>>220652707the Deep is pretty funny in the comiche doesn't appear much, but that's for the best, he's not overused
>>220654285Use your brain, all religions are man-made to benefit small group of people while the average believer starve. Plus there are nothing a human could not think in them, and no scientifcally value
>>220654505I don't read comics or watch tv, but from the gist of it I gather he was essentially a tortured slave as a child, so odds may be low on him being well adjusted - but that could lend to an "advantage" in being good if he had someone else to guide him as a solid moral compass. Plus he was basically tricked into thinking he commited mass atrocities that even sickened him, wasn't he, which does suggest he at least has a baseline morality, he's just incredibly unstable
>>220654492It's well written, Amazon shill Be quiet
>>220654648>
>>220653945nah it's just giancarlo esposito's character with a different last name. he has all the same lines
>>220654505>You tricked me into raping and killing people Yeah, you're right. He could've been a good guy. Great point. Only if you're extremely retarded of course.
>>220654663Reddit-calling is your only cope
>>220654471Kino.
>>220654492it's like a personal pan pizza
>>220654492>What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?you're so stupid that you cannot even understand basic metaphors made by Garth Ennis. it's over. your retardation is terminal. sorry lad, better luck next lifetime
>>220654719>food analogy
>>220654736this is ennis's subtle way of telling us that stan stilwell is a moron, because he can't come up with a non-food analogy and he can't prevent homelander from killing butcher's dog
>>220654492Are you an ESL or something?
>>220654505yes he was basically good but was manipulated into thinking he did things that he didn't which led to a self fulfilling prophecy. unironically too complex for the average /tv/er and Prime watcher
>>220652157Butcher doesn't give a single shit about the whole situation.
>>220654723oh is the implication that the holocaust was a sadistic torture party rather than the inevitable consequence of the allies starving the germans of natural resources
>>220652203i concur
>>220654788>the inevitable consequence of the allies starving the germans of natural resourcesthat is not why it was built.
>>220652157>>220653617
>>220654816wait i assumed he said holocaust lmao. auschwitz was a town lmao, is garth ennis suggesting homelander constructed a model city of auschwitz for one person, like a miniature railway in someone's garden
>>220652434>>220654069
>>220652332Yep. Comics came out before manga. You can also tell it's a western comic because characters wear clothing BESIDES school uniforms and the fight scenes don't take entire volumes.
>>220652434Kek bodied that freak
>>220652157If Black Noir kills Homelander because he has his powers how do they kill Black Noir afterwards?
>>220654866>You can also tell it's a western comic because characters wear clothing BESIDES school uniforms and the fight scenes don't take entire volumes.The Boys if it were good.
>>220654657Explain it, then.
>>220654837still isn't why it was built. and yes the implication is that homelander views everyone as inferior to him and that he can do whatever he wants to them with impunity.
>>220652434>>220652486>>220653480>>220653808>>220654069this is perfectly intelligible if you can remember more than four words. i'm not saying it's good, but it is perfect english
>>220652157>>220652278It is. Kripke admitted it was "one hell of a twist" but he wanted to make Trump out of Homelander.Starr knows how Mark Hamill felt after the Last jedi.
>>220654916it should be "a spoiled child's personal playground" or "a spoiled child's personal playset" but even hacks like ennis realise that doesn't sound dramatic enough, so he dropped auschwitz at the end to make it sound serious to the cretins that read his comics
>>220652434I agree with your point, but for the love of God, start using punctuation.
>>220654905Personally, I like my fight scenes to have, y'know, action. Not two characters standing apart from each other talking endlessly about their childhood for hours with maybe 10 seconds of violence.
>>220654837nobody who says auschitz means the town and not the fucking death camp, how retarded can you be?
>>220652157Looks pretty good.Can someone explain the context?
>>220654992i'm pretty sure the people who live in auschwitz do! HIYO!
>>220654989You could've just said you don't like the Naruto anime. You sound like someone calling movies as a medium bad because he's only ever seen the boss baby and now compares everything to that. Pic related has an entire infamous volume that's just fighting with barely any dialogue.
>>220654663I'd rather tip my hat to science than tip my hat to the jews.
>>220655022>You could've just said you don't like the Naruto anime.I was mainly thinking about One Piece.Manga is cringe outside of porn.
>>220654719I keked.
>>220654771ah yes, the common english phrase "personal auschwitz"
>>220655071>Naruto>Once PieceYou're talking about the MCU of anime. Anyway, if you want to jerk off to black trannies and gay pride month, >>>/co/ is that way.
>>220655088So that's a "yes?"
>>220655088It's well written, ESL Amazon shill
>>220654073>>220654836>>220654492>>220652157that entire generation of comics writers with Ennis and Mark Miller are probably the worst gen of comics writers next to the retard who are currently writing slop
>>220653617>yeah, my character would be super calm in the face of death, and totally get under the villains skin with just a few words
why are his pants down
>>220654471I have strong memories of seeing this edit before the attack on Titan ending
>>220654982you're almost there buddy, he's saying homelander is a manchild who thinks the world is his own little death campimagine telling everyone online you're too stupid for garth fucking ennis, a writer enjoyed solely by 14-16 boys and the emotionally stunted
comic books are for children
>>220655125It's well written, okay????
>>220655112it's a no, my german friend. nobody says "personal auschwitz" in english other than hack writers who misunderstand the meaning of "personal apocalypse" and think it's synonymous>>220655120it's a stupid, edgy phrase from a stupid, edgy writer who got his shitty books adapted by a shitty, stoned, edgy actor
>>220655020People who live in Auschwitz call it Oświęcim, you goddamn fucking retard
>Your Private Schindler's List, and you're killing The Boy in the Striped PajamaIs what he meant.
>>220655161Why are you seething so hardDid garth ennis fuck your wife?
>>220654836>here's your nazi ubberchad
>>220655136He raped somebody and felt bad about it for a minute
>>220655161holy shit man just give up. do you think homelander is a prisoner in the analogy?
>>220652157>A man becomes a horrible psycopath because he was shown photos of him being a psycopath already>Somehow, the knowledge of this happening snaps him back into being moralHow? Shouldn't the point be that he was insane to have snapped so easily in the first place?
>>220655161>who misunderstand the meaning of "personal apocalypse"Okay, so you're definitely an ESL.He calls it Homelander's personal auschwitz because Homelander is going on a killing spree murdering everyone he thought was going to fuck him over.Get the fuck off of my internet you ESL retard.
>>220655125He's not Ennis' selfinsert you mingoloid
>>220654623Yeah, it wouldn't work unless of course it's badly written like it is in the comic
>>220655149ok, then see;>>220654788>>220655192if it was his personal auschwitz, like his personal pan pizza, then he would be the one getting tortured. what do you think personal guantanamo means?>>220655202>He calls it Homelander's personal auschwitz because Homelander is going on a killing spree murdering everyone he thought was going to fuck him over.so you don't know what auschwitz is, good
>>220655199Read the thread. He's actually a good guy and it's very well written
>>220655199>the knowledge of this happening snaps him back into being moralYou niggers are actually illiterate
>>220655199He was spoiled amoral cunt but he never would have crossed the rubicon if he didn't think he was a monster already
>>220655245this has to be ennis's agent or something (if it was ennis there'd be more swearing and russaboo shit)
>>220655111Dang, dude, I didn't know you were so sensitive. >Anyway, if you want to jerk off to black trannies and gay pride month,Please keep your fetishes to yourself, bro.
>>220655199He doesn't turn in a moral guy.
wow, I hate both.Just read Watchmen like a normal person, or read *gasp* actual super hero comics. Good ones from before the 00's.
>>220652337It's funny since he is in the show. He's just a gay porn actor instead of a tranny fucker. He was revealed near the end of season 2 when Hugie was with firestarter watching porno movies.Guess showcasing trannies as fetishes, like they should be, would be too offensive for these couple of decades. They can only be represented by a shapeshifter who has no limits to how long he/she can be the opposite sex.
>>220655236you quoted two posts of mine agreeing with each other, misunderstood both and somehow thinks they also disagree with each other.beautiful stuff
Personal Auschwitz would imply that HE'S an inmate, no? Like if I say "my own personal Hell" that doesn't imply I'm the Devil.
>>220655272So he's not just a monster but also retarded? I concede. He's a retard and only retards like you would think this isn't badly written
>>220655303are you retarded? i was obviously only telling you to look at;>>220654788
>>220655305Enough already. It's well written , because it just is.
>>220655245>Good guyNo
>>220655305garth ennis is irish so he's essentially ESL
>>220655310He acted a certain way because he thought something else was going on. It's like calling MC of the Mist stupid because he didn't know a local incident wasn't a global apocalypse
>>220655183Why didn't you post uncle Adolf?
>>220655368Anon, why are you wasting time trying to explain something to a retarded zoomer?Just call him jobless and move on.
>>220655305Personal just means exclusive to him. You need to look at the surrounding context.
>>220655199Before he saw the photos he was about as dangerous as a Hollywood sex pest. They pushed him over the edge into murder and fueled a narcissistic God complex, but he still felt guilt for reasons he couldn't understand.Once he found out about Black Noir, he realized he threw away his extremely cushy life, basically getting to be an A-list celebrity with zero responsibilities beyond having to make occasional public appearances, over something he didn't even do. I think it was also after the military revealed they had anti-Supe bullets, ruining his attempted coup so he doesn't even have that anymore even if he believed he would survive.
>>220655413>exclusive to him>has a ton of other supes helping himhuh?
>>220652157Yeah welcome to 5 years ago. I watched the first season and knew the show was dogshit compared to the comics. Haven't watched an episode since and watching you all freak the fuck out gave me more pleasure than a thousand lying whores.
>>220655413The surrounding context is a shit comic written by one of the biggest hacks in the industry, so it's hard to tell.
>>220655433>anti-supe bulletsNo they were regular bullets its just that 99% of supes weren't bullet proof
So the real reason they didn't do the Black Noir twist in the TV show is because it would imply Trump is doing the retarded shit he does on behalf of (((someone else)))?
>>220652259>I wonder...what would have happened if Homelander survived that encounter, if they managed to kill BN and he survived...Butcher is already on full kill anyone with superpowers mode, and Homelander showed himself as the n1 public enemy. Yet I find Butcher's words kinda sympathetic towards himif he managed to kill blacknoir the army would've finished him off like what happened in canon.
>>220655379cuz he's a stinky farty methhead
>>220652157Who is the black spandex guy? Ryan?>>220655472>Black Noir twistQRD?
>>220655457The meaning is clear
>>220654982>it should be "a spoiled child's personal playground" or "a spoiled child's personal playset" but even hacks like ennis realise that doesn't sound dramatic enough, so he dropped auschwitz at the end to make it sound serious to the cretins that read his comicsyou see homelander also murders the shit out of a lot of people and IIRC in this arc he's trying to take over the government and kill a bunch of people
>>220655497Black Noir in the comics is a Homelander clone created to watch over him and kill him if Homelander ever goes out of contorl. Homelander never went out of control which made Noir go crazy because his entire purpose is to kill him, so Noir gaslights Homelander into going out of control so he could kill him. Noir kills Homelander at the white house but barely comes out alive and Butcher finishes him off.
>>220655245>Read the thread. He's actually a good guy and it's very well writtenHomelander wasn't a good guy. He rapes someone in his first scene in the comic. the blackmail just drives him off the deepend.
>>220655123I don't know. Ennis, Millar, Miller hit my right in my frontal lobe formative years(2006-2011). I thought they were the best thing since sliced bread and, while i can acknowledge the fact that most of the edge is gratuitous, i love it today as much as i did back then. I did have a phase around 2015 where i was ashamed of my love for this tone but i quickly realized that deluding myself into thinking i wasn't enjoying it wasn't doing anyone any good. Least of all myself.
>>220655497Black Noir is a supposedly retarded clone of Honelandet but it turns out he orchestrated the key events of the comics because he wanted to finally get allowed to kill Homelander (which is what he was created for). Fun and nicely foreshadowed twist
>>220655539so what? if the point is that he thinks "he can do whatever he wants...with impunity" then "spoiler child's personal playground" conveys that
>>220655561>Homelander never went out of control which made Noir go crazy because his entire purpose is to kill himwhat a retarded premise
>>220654982>make it sound seriousWell Homelander was literally in the middle of taking over the country and killing tons of people so it was a bit serious
>>220655591the point is that he's massacring people as well. he's not just declared himself king.
>>220655575In his first scene he's already losing his mind, the pictures were years before Robin got killed, back when Mallory was still with the BoysHow illiterate can you be?
>>220654982Stillwell isn't treating homelander serious. He's mocking him.
>>220655639i forgot. been a while since i read the comcis
>>220655596ESL momento
>>220655672kys nigger
>>220655597>sees a word>conjures up a completely different meaning for that wordyou're just as bad as ennis>>220655611so what? personal auschwitz conveys neither>>220655642why can none of you parse what i'm calling serious? it's the sound of the sentence as conveyed to the reader, because this is fiction and not a documentary
>>220655561>>220655583That's unbelievably retarded. I'm glad that I've never felt the urge to read the comic, even after watching all of the TV show. The TV show did it better.Thanks for the answer though.
ITT people forcing themselves to hate the comic because they retarded lefties who just want to see trump and nazis getting punched
>>220652157No this is gay as fuck. Homelander actually did nothing wrong? Evil clone? Fuck outta here. The show sucked but not as bad as this trite nonsense. Homelander actually becoming evil and delusional makes more sense, logically and thematically.
>>220655707feeling very powerful with those periods huh?
>>220655735I'm no leftist, but "actually it was a CLONE the entire time" is not a satisfying ending. It's borderline "it was all a dream".
>>220652337>only fucks completely busted and walled grandmasLet him have them lol
>>220655735>forcing themselves
>>220655784*clap* suck *clap* dick *clap* and *clap* eat *clap* shit *clap* CHUD
>>220655735The comic litearlly has a nazi supe (who is homelanders biological dad) get beaten to death.
>>220655460I had to pull the comic back up to check, but they specifically got Depleted Uranium rounds and shit to deal with them. I may have misremembered that because I saw anti-Vergil bullets in that shitty DMC show.But the comic was also wildly inconsistent with its power levels, so once the fighter jets come out they get wiped out with like zero resistance even though they tried to make it look dire an issue before. Even Black Noir, who's supposed to be about as strong as Homelander, gets fucked up by some machine guns. They can punch through brick and tear planes in half, but a regular crowbar can pop his skull off instead of getting bent in half.,
>>220655735>forcing themselves to hate the comicWhat a massive projectioncomicfags are the worst media coomsumers of all timesIt's actually the opposite and it's hilarious: Comicfags have to force themselves to actually like the comics.It's an investment thing.They purchase 102 issues of a comic, it doesn't matter if it turned to shit on #86, they are too invested on it to let it go so they go above and beyond to find things they like and hope #103 will be betterThey are actually subhumans like that
>>220652434Hahaha holy fucking shit… uh. Well said.
>>220652157Good art ruined by repugnant coloring.
>>220656007iirc the line art and the colouring are done by separate people.
>>220654492Gotta suck the circumcised penis if you want to be successful.
>>220656033I've seen some pre-coloring compilations and a lot of capeshit comics would've looked way prettier if they released black and white like manga.
>>220654989>I like my fight scenes to have, y'know, actionMost western comics have absolutely garbage action with garbage paneling. Read Shigurui for something with actual good paneling.
>>220656038
>>220656068Honestly yeah, I agree. But that isn't the style of western art, unfortunately.
>>220655580I never understood why calling something edgy is supposedly a valid form of critique. Or why people are losing their minds over stuff like nemesis or wanted. Yeah it's not some high brow stuff but it's just incredibly fun to read and the "awful" content is nowhere near the level of gruesomeness and wantonnes of the tv version of the Boys that somehow gets lauded for it somehow.
>>220656038>They have a lot of grit and ironI actually fucking cringed reading that shit
>>220655790>It's borderline "it was all a dream".No? The shit he did still stuck. The shit he made the real Homelander do also still stuck. It's a standard twist.
guys, I think this show is absolute dogshit>noooo you don't understand awful people doing awful things so many things to see!it's a dogshit show based on a dogshit source made by dogshit people for dogshit people. do you really want to be a part of that and then feel nothing but frustration and disappointment? >shut the fuck up the show is great>*a few seasons later*>why is this show so shit? I don't understand???why does this keep happening?
>>220655947The Boys has a beginning, middle and end unlike the usual Marvel and DC stuff. Not the same thing.
>>220656123Because women and dorks want everything to be quirk chungus. They're very boring and lame IRL.
>>220656080Shigurui has great art but the panelling is just barely okay. I think you meant to say Tezuka
>>220652434>like your cranium in rectum lodged selfWhat are you, 12?
>>220655947Isn't that why you are in this thread, though? You got invested in the show and couldn't let go because you somehow thought that last episode will make it all worth it?
>>220656184No, Shiguri has very dynamic panelling(Apocalypse zero is great at that as well) that conveys action way better than 99% of capeshit. Yeah, if it's about experimental panelling then Tezuka is way better.
>>220655735it's lil donners like you who are trying to hate the comic because it mentions auswitchz in a scene that was overall too hard for them to understand
>>220655919>>220656125>no super duper/malchemical arcWe were robbed
>>220656007>>220656068apparently a lot of those comic publishers have house rules about coloring that force it to be the blandest, ugliest shit imaginable. i have no idea why
>>220656123Because their sensibilities have changed a lot or they are, like i did, pretending that they don't enjoy the gratuitous tone because they are now "super high brow adults who have outgrown their juvenile past."
>>220656284Agreed, it was a great storyline honestly, even if it was fillerInstead we got the Castiel dude who isn't even close to his comic version.
>>220655735These people have a brain disease you can’t help them
>>220656327Look at the recoloured The Killing Joke they put out (Brian Bolland's idea, apparently). It's such a downgrade over the limited colour inking of the 80's version.
>>220652157This shit is real ugly looking
>>220655795>grandmasBased post-skimmer
>>220656068Also one of the reasons Western comics became increasingly irrelevant. Because color inks are expensive.The whole industry is stupid, and seemingly run by people who aren't really trying to sell comics as much as t-shirts and movie ideas, basically. The comics themselves are vestigial. They're collectors items for weirdos.
>>220652232He initially wasn't bad, Black Noir was created to keep an eye on him and destroy him if he ever went rogue, then Black Noir went insane and started murdering people dressed as Homelander and sending him the pictures to make him think he was going insane.It's a better story than the absolute dogshit that we got.

>>220655125The character understands homelander is just having a tantrum and is no threat to him. He'll get crushed by the millitary anyway. Which is what happens.
>>220655125>in the face of deathWhole point is Homelander won't kill him because he's desperate for his approval
>>220657151Schizo troon immediately started screeching about faggot pederasty. The left love pederasty and pedophilia.
>>220654492it's explained in the boys comic that the holocuast actually happened so it makes sense in context
>>220652232Would have been way better to see that happen with the actors.
The comic is mid as fuck and still miles better than the show.
>>220655149Children don't build death camps. The holocaust wasn't real btw

>>220653617saved you a lot of reading
/tv/ always has the most basic bitch opinions on everything. truly the most normalfag infested board on this shithole
>>220657574Saying the comic is better than the show is not the normalfag opinion, but it's an equally stupid opinion as saying that the show is better than the comics.
>>220653617The comics might be absolute garbage but it had its moments.
>>220657724you are a midwit
Naruto is unironically good.
>>220652434This really struck a nerve. Look at how many times he had to samefag a response.
>>220652278It's literally the most retarded shit I ever heard in my life. Why wouldn't Homelander just assume it's a shapeshifter supe trying to gaslight him? Why would "oh it must be me in these photos" be his immediate assumption?
>>220657772the art in Naruto and panel composition is unironically very good even up to the later arcs, especially when compared to other battle manga. The action is always easy to follow even when the author is doing some weird-ass angles.
>>220656038Good fucking god the art in Fables is so ass
>>220654028his character is basically split between a woman Stillwell in S1 who is nothing like him, and Giancarlo Esposito who delivers some of his lines. But no they get so offtrack that nothing even resembling the assistant fallguy sideplot could take place, Gus just resumes power like nothing ever happened.
Not gonna lie, comics are just way too Jewish for me, it's why I always stuck to manga instead.
>>220654836Well that's dishonest. Yeah you'll get some handsome nazis if you take over a whole major country and make being a professional nazi a good, high prestige job for any ambitious socially receptive young man in the entire population. Garth certainly looks better than Himmler.
>>220657928I've always thought the action was the most important part of a battle manga. Having a good story and characters helps you get invested in the fights, but if you have garbage action, why even work on a battle manga?
>>220657446>>220654073>>220653870>>220653754Explain why. This is in line with their dynamics across the comic.
>>220655379Hitler honestly doesn't look bad. Himmler is useful because he was arguably the number 2 to Hitler, certainly top 3, and he basically couldn't look more pathetic.
>>220654866Yeah how terrible that manga can put out entire volumes in the same time it takes capeshit to put out 3 issues
>>220652232No you missed the point he was bad, but he was a bad human. The other him made him into a true villain and the best part is, he goes along with it despite it causing him anxiety, stress and unhappiness. In short he's such a bad human he can be made into a bad superhuman
>>220658058yup, DBZ proved that you only need the barest skeleton of a story for manga to sell and be enjoyable as long as the action is great. I'm not shitting on stuff like HxH or even JJK though, they have their place as well but the general trend towards complicated power systems or convoluted stories in shonen battle manga this past decade is a mistake imo.Naruto did take a dive once the story moved away from the simpler rival/brother dynamic of the central duo though, action was still excellent but as you say it gets harder to feel like the fights matter at all. Kishi is the goat of his generation's shonen action-wise despite this imo, even though Boruto is weird as fuck I didn't read Samurai 8, I wish he had done a mecha manga like he had talked about in those early Naruto volumes author's notes.
>THE COMICS ARE SO MUCH BETTER BRO>that hideous art>entire page filled with Butcher talking about dudes getting choked out by cum>le black noir twist>oi hughie mes a genocidal maniac nowI'm good thank youTried giving the show and comics a shot and determined both are mega trash
>>220656327Ink costs my boy. That shit cost money
>>220655125>>yeah, my character would be super calm in the face of death, and totally get under the villains skin with just a few wordsThis is how he ends up in the epilogue.
>>220658258Vought was such a shitty corporation that even he couldn't be its soulless entity anymore
>>220657198I think a lot of showfags don't understand that aspect because they completely cut it from the show's version of that character (because they apparently split him up into 2 different characters where one had all the daddy issue stuff except as a mommy and the other had the cold calculating "I don't consider you worth my time" aspects).No idea why they bothered doing that, because it fucks up the main thrust of Homelander's character (ie. he's a manchild throwing a tantrum) and made retards think he was some big bad Machiavellian schemer and not just a retarded psycho who was given way more power than he could feasibly handle or understand.
>>220652157Yes, it is
>>220654163>unlike the tv show
>>220658318>they completely cut it from the show's version of that characterThey literally recreate this scene almost word-for-word in the show, wtf are you talking about?
>>220658337The show adapted this scene well though
>>220658318>yelling at nothing
>>220658391With a completely different character whom Homelander wasn't obsessed with gaining approval from, unlike his surrogate mother in season 1 who inherited the actual comic character's name.
>>220654125Not my problem you cannot empathize with basic examples dude.My post was accurate.>>220658079Homelander's point is completely on par.That isn't the issue.It's the office worker who is being flamboyant.If you really wanted to get back at Homelander, simply shutting the fuck up and letting him do his gay little rant and not reacting at all in any way would be enough.The conversation is pretentious.
>>220652157Wait, so in the comics all along Homelander is just being framed by his evil clone? Is that real? That’s the gayest shit ever.
>>220652278It really is tragic when you think about ho differently things could have gone if Black Noir wasn't a psychotic subversive asshole. The entire reason for The Boys existing was because of Noir, and Homelander would have been just some guy (albeit a super guy, but normal in every other aspect) who wanted to do nothing more than get drunk in his space station man cave. I wonder how many people would claim they wouldn't become an asshole if everyone else treated them like they were, and someone else imitating them committed heinous crimes to cement their reputation?
>>220657816because the photos were taken in locations private to him and the guy in the pictures looked EXACTLY like him, down to every mole, mark and even the shape of his dick.
>>220654492they get a blowjob for each time they mention it
>>220658462No, Homelander still did lots of fucked up and evil shit (including a lot of evil shit that doesn't even show up in the show).The clone was just the one who raped Butcher's wife and also murdered an innocent family and ate their baby while dressed as Homelander (and took pictures of it, which Homelander saw).Homelander is definitely not a good person in the comics in any way, but he's the kind of guy who would have just been using his position of power to fuck high school girls who admired him instead of using his position to murder and rape whoever he wanted because he felt like he was already too far gone anyways, so he might as well try to live up to the whole "evil baby-eating psycho" thing.Ironically, even though Kripke has intense TDS, comic Homelander is unironically closer to Trump than show Homelander is.
>>220658628Nigger, do you not know how SHAPESHIFTING works?
>>220657816he's pretty stupid
>>220658462He isn't JUST being framed, that's the thing. He did bad stuff, but all the REALLY bad stuff was Noir. Homelander was just bad enough that he was able to believe that he had done all those things even though he didn't remember them. The Noir reveal happens at the beginning of what was shaping up to be the final confrontation between Butcher and Homelander, where the latter is telling the former, with a charming smile, that he doesn't even remember raping his wife.It's not Shakespeare, but it's functional.
>>220652337Passing transexuals is the most unbelievable part of the comic
>>220658765>but it's functional.That's where you're wrong. It's completely, insultingly retarded. This is not the hill to die on
>>220658415They didn't. She isn't dead, he didn't have to bash the superfetus to death. The equivalent scene in the show is so unbelievably nothing, I'm not bothering to find the clip, you post it if you think it was done well
I've been fighting amazon shills on this board for years saying this. just remember how much money and resources amazon has, how much personal data they have and enforce. The comic IS KINO, and anyone who disagrees is either brown (eyed) and/or an amazon shill. You can pay 1000s of people (or program AI) to scour the internet for discussion of the boys comic, feed lies, sliding and disinformation to poison the well, but The Boys comic is pure edgekino. It is quintessential edgekino actually. I'm due for a reread.
>>220652157Nah show's way better and funnier
>>220658784>everyone who disagrees with me on anything even once is dying on a hillfuck you're dumb
punisher max is the only good thing that hack ennis has ever done
>>220654894That's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, Black Noir simply freezes to death.
>>220652157This page alone looks aggressively homosexual. Do little kids in America really look at such faggotry?
>>220658791What I don't get is why they didn't just, y'know, adapt the comic. It has very clearly delineated arcs, you just do the arcs as they're written. It isn't a perennial book where you could do your own story with the characters, its one story and they couldn't fucking do it
>>220652157Agreed
>>220658821For 7 fucking years, I've had to hear these fucking idiots insist until they're red in the face that the Noir twist was good. No one was even defending the garbage on /co/ back when the finale came out in 2012. It's literal pure contrarianism spurred on by the show
>>220656038“If you fuck with us we’re going to kill your entire family” . Based
>>220658791The Boys has been mocked for probably close to 2 decades now. It was always considered moderate to low, mostly because of the terrible artwork. The edgeiness was not a positive but it wasn't as retarded as Millar so that didn't detract from it too much.Amazon and people trying to shill the TV series definitely were not poisoning the well back in 20010 when I first became aware of the series and it is probably not even in Ennis' top 3. It isn't terrible and I think it is exponentially better than the show because the comic has an actual message that it communicates consistently and in a pretty straightforward way (and Stillwell is a fantastic character) but at the end of the day it's still like a 6.5/10 comic.
>>220652157>The comic is better than the series>No Homelander offering his mouth to BillyYou're objectively wrong though?
YOU FUCKING FUCKING FUCK YOU FUCKED MY LIFE
>>220658946Ironically Homelander is much gayer in the comic
>>220658887Nah, it was fun.
>>220654836hahano
>>220658860>What I don't get is why they didn't just, y'know, adapt the comic. It has very clearly delineated arcs, you just do the arcs as they're written. It isn't a perennial book where you could do your own story with the characters, its one story and they couldn't fucking do itThis is something you could ask about nearly every vidya, book, comic or even just slightly older movie that Hollywood has adapted or remade in the last twenty years. And the answer is always the same.Personally I WOULDN'T adapt it directly. The comic is a malicious satire of superhero comics, so I would make the show a satire of superhero shows and movies. I'm not sure how much that would change, though. Maybe have a 'teenage' superhero and then the Boys unmask him and find out he's in his thirties.
>>220652157bother are juvenile tripe that you have to be in your teens to enjoy
>>220658860amazon are a load of shit. the same shills/brown-eyed people also spam about their invincible being worth a shit compared to the comic. same people who watch anime over reading manga. i think we need to keep books to being books, comics to being comics, and manga to being manga. death to adaptation.
>>220652157Just because the show is bad doesn't make the comic good.
>>220658957cringe as fuck. soillennials would eat any shit you put in front of them
>>220658707Something that doesn't exist and that any writer can decide how it works? No, I don't know how it works in the boys. Can a shapeshifter know the shape of anyone's penis just by looking at their face?
>>220658964There's this great scene in the Herogasm issue where Homelander fucks not!Captain America and then Cap asks "This isn't... gay, is it?"Homelander says "I'm Homelander, and you're Captain America. How could we be gay?" And Cap says "I guess you're right" and leaves. And as soon as he's gone Homelander starts laughing.The comic's pretty funny at times.
>>220659012>"Modern adaptations are JOOSLOP. If I was adapting The Boys, I would simply make it a parody of capeshit."Holy FUCK, you're retarded.
>>220658964Hey, its not gay to manipulate a guy into sucking your dick, it'd be gay if he was sucking dick
>>220655947that actually explains a lot, lol
>>220659139this anon has been to prison

>>220659131dilate
>>220659105To be fair, I'm not sure the boys was ever that popular before Amazon, people knew it because it was so unhinged with how edgy it got.It wasn't ever considered good by many people.
>>220659177>incapable of not thinking about mutilated fake axe wound pussy slits for five minutesShocker.
>>220658462Nah, the plane disaster for example was regular homolander. He also killed a family by dropping their car from the sky.He did all kinds of heinous shit.
>>220659113>Can a shapeshifter know the shape of anyone's penis just by looking at their face?Malchemical can, in the comics. He perfectly mimics a guy to trick his girlfriend into having sex with him. Also, considering how Homelander fucks dozens of other supes at Herogasm, the exact details of his sexual anatomy would be common knowledge
>>220659216actually seething
>>220659117kek
>>220658699>comic Homelander is unironically closer to Trump than show Homelander is.Exactly.I don't get how TDSfags create this narrative in their heads that Trump is actually super desperate for daddy's validation or something.People have been screaming at him for the past decade, and he almost always responds by dancing to The Village People and doing whatever the fuck he wants anyway.
>>220655305if I say "this is my death camp" does it sound like I'm a prisoner in it?
>>220652337>Based>Tranny fuckerKill yourself Pablo
>>220658766>passinglook at their chins you retarded closet case
>>220658887I think it's good enough. The real great part of the ending is the Butcher arc at the end anyway.I know you're one of those "fuck u it's all bad, no I won't elaborate" people, but figured I'd throw my hat in the ring anyway.
>>220652434based post making faggots seethe
The only Boys comic I liked was Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker. Ennis is at his best when he has no truck with superheroes. He writes decent war and soldier stories.
>>220655735Nigger, the comics doesn't make a lick of sense with the twist either because Homelander HAS FUCKING X RAY VISION. He would've figure out since Day 1 that Black Noir is his clone/twin/doppleganger.
>>220658104He looked perfect as the amb to japanHe is basically a hafu
Somehow niggers just can't admit that the show and the comic are both puddles of diarrhea with slightly different tastes
