>Kripke revealed that The Boys' original finale was scrapped after it tested poorly with audiences. "It was originally going to be a more redemptive story," the showrunner explained. "Kimiko's blast had the effect of turning [Homelander] into a baby, whom Starlight and Hughie adopt after much debate. They were ultimately forced to shoot Butcher after he tries to kill baby Homelander." Kripke went on to reveal that the final scene, in which the baby's glowing red eyes are calmed by Starlight breastfeeding him, proved highly controversial among women aged 18 to 35.

Would you have preferred this ending?

Well let's see paul allen's alternative ending
>>
If they let homelander snap, his death would be way more cathartic but his humiliation didn’t feel earned because despite being the villain he was never intimidating after s1. Funny how despite being based off of a man Kripke despises, he still refused to commit to Homelander being a fully genocidal psychopath. The whole appeal of the show was wanting to see Homelander finally go insane
>>
should have just left him alive an unpowered with the knowledge as narcissistic as he is he is too cowardly to kill himself and to arrogant to try to fix what Vaught broke

>in an exclusive interview kripke revealed that homelander was supposed to be an amalgamation of nick fuentes and sam hyde, butcher was a metaphor hasan piker, hughie a metaphor for destiny, and starlight for kamala

They were never going to compromise on that end. That's just leftist writers wanting to weaponize obscenity and edgy humor by making gay rape jokes about guys, showing penises getting blown up (in several episodes of gen v)

The show built up a villain for 5 seasons so they wanted a satisfying triumph for the heroes at the end. But they didn't get one, writers just quickly asspulled a new power that solved the issue immediatly and people didn't get to see the satisfying and prolonged beatdown of the guy they loved to hate. Its like if Lord of the Rings ended with Frodo never entering Mordor at all, instead Gandalf just magic teleports the ring into the volcano with a new power he just suddenly remembered he has. The whole adventure feels pointless.

When you promote your own show with the villain watching the world burn, then people fucking expect that to happen in the show itself.

If they were gonna go with a boring pseud ending, it would have been interesting to see Butcher spare Homelander after seeing how utterly pathetic he is without his powers. We see Homelander try to sway people, but nothing works and he ends up in prison. Maybe he gets raped to keep things kosher. Ultimately he ends up killing himself in the jail cell. Alternatively Homelander finds his own contentment since he is finally free from the obnoxious media politics frenzy that consumed his whole life. We see him sitting in the prison yard with a look of genuine bliss for the first time in his life.

Are jews unable to understand what concepts like regret and redemption are? Turning the bad guy into a baby is not redemption. Redemption would be a bad guy realizing he's becoming a demon and deciding to fix shit or at least not do any more harm.

It's not about a 'get out of jail free card', it's about resisting the urge to retroactively justify abuse when the victim goes on to become an abuser.
>>
>>220943529
It's not even that alone, it's that they didn't spend enough time building up Vought's corporate culture. In season one and two they did OK with laying down the baseline, but after that it's a total afterthought.

Having Vought win in the end suits the story. They just had to exist as an avatar of corporate horror, rather than being shown as a neutral avatar of capitalism.

I agree but the difference here is talking about a white person who's intelligent and conscientious and has great potential, as opposed to crack babies who come from <85 iq stock. The percentage of whites who are irredeemable is dwarfed by the comparable population of thirdies, yet we're forced to endure a never ending tide of "engineers and doctors" who do nothing but rape and murder.

Fuck WHAAAAAT?
Why would he turn into a baby? How the fuck does her 'take away power' de-age Homlander? Fucking aye, did we actually get the best ending dis nigga could write? Should have just kept the one from the comics. It would have made Black Noir less worthless. Or better yet, ONLY change the ending, but otherwise keep every element of Black Noir's story. Just suddenly change his voice when the mask comes off to Anthony Starr's and reveal he's an unstable Homelander clone. Actually, reveal he's been a Homelander clone since season 1. Why pray tell? Quite simple, because I want the audience scrarching their heads and muttering 'isn't dat nigga dead?' under their breath as a plot twist that makes 0 sense and contradicts the entire story arc of Black Noir unfolds for the simple reason that it would he fucking retarded and shit, but less so than the ending we got. Even if we hamfisted solely the ending of the comic yet kept all of the changes to Black Noir's character that makes the comic ending make 0 sense, the ending is still better. Fuck, Homelander thought he was going to die plenty of times. Why didn't he offer to suck dick and eat shit when he got his ass beat during Herogasm or by Soldier Boy in Vought Tower? Fuck you Kripke you balding retard.

I just can't believe when publishers and studios make games/shows respectively, they take the finished product and before releasing it, they get a bunch of women off the street and they show it to them.
Then all the women hate it, and they go back to the studio and they change it based on their complaints.

I cannot fucking believe this is how the world works.
