>make a character you intended to be a critique of "toxic masculinity", sexism, arrogance, violent, outdated values, etc.
>writer comes out and says you're supposed to hate him
>he instantly becomes the most popular and beloved character, so iconic he basically embodies the sigma male concept
>both men and women love him for different reasons
>get spooked and character assassinate him because you're seething that real people liked your supposedly comically evil masculine male character
This must have been such a fucking blackpill for the writers of The Boys, right?
You can tell by how much they seethed and made him look like a weak bitch in season 5 to overcompensate for how badass and cool he was in season 3.

They did the same thing with Homelander.
>make super evil dude that everyone should hate
>everybody loves his badassery and "fuck you" attitude
>make him a pussy ass bitch in hopes your fans hate him like you do

This is what happens when weak, pathetic, sad, insecure beta males get their "chance" to get one over the confident cool alpha males that always overshadowed them lol
i.e., just like Kripke and hte other faggots that wrote this show.
Legit, if it wasn't for Anthony Starr (fucking legend) and Jensen Ackles, this show would be irredeemable trash.
>>
>>222542897
Their mistake was casting Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, simple as
>>
>>222543091
I don't know if this is good or bad, but Anthony Starr looks nothing like Homelander when out of costume. I would say good because then he can get roles doing anything and not just typecast and pigeon-holed into roles that are like Homelander in every other role he's in.

Even then, he got shit done. He tracked Butcher 10 minutes after unthaw and rolled up on the boys. Would have wiped them there if not for the virus, which he survived. Goes to fort harmony and locks his son in a cage before finally succumbing point blank to the rage virus (considering he was literally at ground zero).

Is the SOLE reason Homelander gets V1 due his beatdown with Mr. Marathon. And then has to 1v1 Bombsight who is built like a brick shithouse. In spite of this he still clapped his ass at two points with the pipe down the throat and snapping necks. He was literally the entire engine of the final season and everything was put in action because of him. Literally too godlike to keep on the playing field.

>>222542897
Should not have cast the sex symbol of a generation to play the bit.
>>
>>222542897
Their mistake is not having anyone of the "good" guys be on the same level of charisma as Soldier Boy or Homelander, who are carried by the actors btw writing aside

Really made me realise how unstoppable strong supes would be if they did BJJ or some shit. Imagine Homelander, but instead of throwing wild punches etc, he just grappled anyone to the ground and snapped their shit up

wasn't deep supposed to be a rapist or whatever but everyone ended up loving him too

instead, they spend their time throwing each other into (for them) soft objects

Sadly he will probably have the same fate as the GoT actors. The next few years of his career will be critical to if he makes or not. I know he did Banshee prior to the Boys, but still.
His latest "cinema" role was for G20, the shitty direct-to-streaming with Viola Davis playing the president.
I hope he doesn't stay attached to the hip to Amazon and some competent directors give him roles in kino movies.

Rookie move. Should have made him ugly

This show had so much potential to be something special and they just threw it all away

Gave up after that season 3 finale, what a shitshow.
>>
>>222543971
Yeah, I agree on pretty much every point. But I have had this discussion before and some anons were saying he's 50 years old so he can just retire if he wants since he has enough money (probably) to do so. But I countered with "hey, 50 is young for actors these days". And I mean it. He still has an acting future ahead of him if he wants it and it's offered to him. I mean, look at Clint Eastwood. Wasn't he 90-something in his latest movie? So yeah, I hope he gets more roles. I honestly never heard of him before this show, but I would like to see if he can act that well in other types of roles. You know, not just a typecast Homelander-like role.

>here is that extremely chud evil character I was telling you about
>smokes weed
>is calm and collected
>seems like a political pragmatist
>the worst thing you see him doing is sort of shrug when seeing two fags

Why does it keep happening?
>>
WHEN DO YOU THINK THEY CHARACTER ASSASSINATED HIM?

I THINK THEY DID NOT AND WAS FUCKING PROFOUNDLY SHOCKED.
>>
>>222544284
On a show where 90% are sadistic psychos too. They could have him call black people niggers and still remain sympathetic to normalfags.
>>
>>222543496
The concept is an ancient one. But the whole social/sexual hierarchy is completely misunderstood in online PUA discourse
>>
>>222544038
Just learn how to use English, or better yet, stop connecting to US websites.

>>222544187
I mean I was enjoying the whole weird family dynamic, watching homelander try and protect/raise his son, butcher begrudgingly siding with him, also protecting Ryan. Showing homelander and butcher both having deep childhood trauma, etc. I was really hoping for a venture bros. Kind of show, but I guess Jews get tired quickly because they run everything into the ground and call it a finished product

Butcher was cool in the beginning, they also made him lame later

Yeah, I mean it was so obvious I thought it was the point. mm kept calling him a racist which he clearly wasn't.

Then he became a cuck

The lower iq of russian pol shills doesn't understand one can enjoy an absurd tv character without supporting that behavior in reality.
>>
>>222545827
But the behavior doesn't stand up to real life behaviors. They were 100% 180 turns to the characters' behavior up until that point. It doesn't make sense, writing-wise. It was just stupid writing. They wouldn't act like that in real life.

>>222543051
this only made him relatable and charismatic as fuck

Congrats on finding your new e-daddy, you obese sack of shit.

I think writers forgot that people like characters that drive the story forward.

It was hilarious how Homelander, Soldier Boy and the Deep were the favorites for being white chuds
>>
>>222543147
Kripke cuck killed Homelander popularity forever and kinda ruined the actors career.
Jeffrey at least told the writers from TWD dc s1/2 to fuck off and make Negan based again. He definitely would never have accepted Negan begging to eat shit.

I’ll never not be mad they turned one of television’s most fearsome villains into a bitch because the towers loathed the President.
>>
>>222546950
What's sad is that Sage and Stan get away despite being much worse. And the Deep was just a free kill because like they said he was another white chud, we didn't even get Deep vs depowered Homelander
>>222546801
Negan gets like 7 redemption arcs, wish Homelander got similar love or at least make him go all out, dunno why they tried to make him Trump because he was never like that
>>
>>222546950
Man all Starr job wasted. Like with Joker 2 killing Joker 1.
>>
>>222543091
They unironically think people will give a shit about vought rising. Even twd spin offs still follow fan favorites
The Boys brand is so fucking dead not even Jensen can save it
>>
>>222544488
Funny how chinks wanted an ending where Homelander and Butcher raise Ryan lmao
>>
>>222543290
Kinda ironic that they had to do it to make sure the concept of a wimp getting the hottest piece of ass made sense, but then they forgot to make Starlight the hottest piece of ass.
>>
>>222543290
Hell HL and SB aren't even that evil
>SB murdered Mothers Milk family for racism!
No, literally collateral damage
>Homelander eeh...he..
Homelander was literally
>Abused ever since he was a baby
>No healthy childhood, just treated like a product
>Groomed by an old woman
He even tried to be a good father for Ryan and writers had to remove that because people were obviously rooting for Homelander. Homelander wasn't even racist nor sexist. He even made sure Ryan punished a guy harassing a woman

Meanwhile Frenchie not only killed a family he also groomed the fucking survivor. Butcher was willing to kill a baby to kill Homelander too. Starlight killed someone and got away. Kimiko killed guards in the most edgy way possible while dancing
>>
>>222547476
S1 Homelander is amazing. He is a product but he was trying to be more than that, which is why he went against Vought and started his own investigation
>>
>>222545827
This.
>>
>>222542897
And he gets his own show with the nazi Stormfront. Imagine making a show about two racists and they're so beloved they get greenlit for an entire show.

Always hated that shit. Watched that new Mortal Kombat movie the other day and the main bad guy was just throwing people into pillars rather than just ripping them in half
