@EatHealthyOrDie @pbwdahomie @Promiseishim It's engagement farming lol

@pbwdahomie @Promiseishim "I feel like none of you watched it" while confirming you dont even know if he is a supe or not.

Did they forget to include a shot of MM taking Temp V in the last episode? How was he able to hold in the gag?

@joshua_j28051 I think it's clear he's reaching through his memory of what he's done to others to try and plea for his life, which never worked to satisfy him but he thought in the moment maybe it'd work for him to get away, aside from the shit thing.

What shapeshifter was he even talking about?? Isn't it synapse that butcher already killled????

@CS11__ I think it was very mediocre as a series finale, as an episode it was above average. I know it's being review bombed for bad reasons but so many aspects of the finale could've had more time, I'm simply disappointed they didn't allocate S5 time more to the plot of the finale.

Y’all have never seen a bad episode in your life i swear. That finale doesn’t warrant this rating whatsoever.

@MimikyuDisciple @MuchoGrumpy @ColtonOgburn Ay I agree with you but you gotta stop with the capitalizing the first letter in each word, I did it too when I was a teenager but it's just dumb.

@MuchoGrumpy @ColtonOgburn Those Are Completely Different Characters From What Homelander Is. You Are Basically Comparing Villains With REAL Power And Skill To The Super Powered Equivalent Of A Power Tripping Reddit Mod. Those Guys Are Fighters. Homelander Is Just A High School Bully With A God Complex.

His powers are what gave him the freedom to have that cocky attitude. Without his power he is a weak, empty, pathetic, scared little boy. It would have been so out of character for a depowered Homelander to maintain his "fucking try me, bitch!" attitude. He's nothing.

@OrthopaedicHC @Elvish_Harper Why does his death have to be powerful? Homelander puts up a tough frontier but in private he's a man that stole his bosses babies milk then suckled her and multiple women, cries behind the scenes a lot, and is utterly terrified about dying, showed many times over.

@Elvish_Harper Someone made the comparison to Hitler, I would have liked (by comparison) Homelander trying to fly, failing, struggling to get a damaged resolute desk drawer open, then shooting himself in the head. An 'Ah Well' Energy. I think that could actually be powerful I think.

Scour the historical record and find me someone who has ever done this. There has never been a ruler, serial killer, or what have you who did this. Even Gaddafi faced the end with more dignity. And of course, why would someone do that? You know it's not going to work. You know that the guy about to beat you to death with a crowbar isn't interested in a blowjob. Offers of power or wealth are one thing, spontaneous self-debasement is another. There are gutter criminals and so forth who have done stuff like this to save their lives in gang conflict. None have ever offered it up spontaneously. They get a gun held to their head and are ordered to debase themselves. It's not even a matter of being smart or dumb. Even the dumbest, most cowardly person on Earth understands that all you achieve by saying stuff like that is to make killing you more satisfactory. So it actually decreases your odds of survival. There's exactly one type of person that I would believe would do this kind of thing if they truly faced death. It's not a powerful kind of person, either in terms of physical strength or political influence. It's Eric Kripke. The platonic form of the modern Hollywood director, critic, or writer. These are the lowest life forms that have ever walked the Earth. No wonder they haven't made a good movie in years.

@Filmfanatics__ The guy who drank his bosses breast milk then suckled her and other women all through the show, breaks down crying a lot when things don't go his way, etc? He was a manchild the whole way through who acted tough, and he rages for a second saying "I AM THE HOMELANDER"

Homelander lost the powers but shouldn't have lost the attitude. What was this?

@Popplayzz1 He was never going to be a superhero again, his main power was now against him. He could've tried to atone for his ways or lived as a regular man though

At this particular moment , The Deep had the perfect chance to redeem himself and turn against Homelander. He really could have survived and be the superhero he was always supposed to be. But god he really is an idiot. #TheBoys

@NicholasDClay @Promiseishim He said on the city, not on the world, dude...

@MikeW87354586 @Promiseishim And the goals of the boys is to 1. Stop him from going scorched earth 2. Kill him What is the point of killing him after he destroys the Earth?

I really wish that after this scene, he left the White House and went scorched earth on the whole city Then when he returned exhausted, the boys jumped him, fought him, and killed him there

@NicholasDClay @Promiseishim ? His goals were to be universally loved Be god Live forever

@Promiseishim Thats low IQ, what is the point of stopping the villain after he has already achieved all his goals?

@Kiddish_Gambino @xopokery This is HL was not allowed to cause the type of devastation in the show he is capable of, that they teased he would do all series. If HL killed tens or hundreds of thousands of innocents, Vought is likely to make another Supe that goes crazy, Butcher's point makes sense.

@xopokery “We’re not given a reason to disagree with butcher”. Annie, Kimiko, Marie, The Raven girl MM saves, all of the other Gen V members, and of course Ryan. We’re shown multiple times that there are good supes out there who don’t deserve to be genocided. You’re just dumb.

no resolution for MM or SB kimiko is able to take homelander’s lasers despite them splitting her in half in ep1 the show doesn’t give a solution to vought we’re not given a reason to disagree with butcher supes are just allowed to roam free but yea sure it was good.. ur a shill

@ArchEstromancer @xopokery But one of Butcher's main points was even though there's good ones, Vought can and likely will make another psychopath Supe that's strong enough to destroy everything. I feel that's why HL never got to truly lose it bc Butcher's point would've been even more compelling.

@xopokery Annie, Kimiko, the Gen V cast, Ryan and Maeve (though they were de-powered by this time), Countess Crow, and others are the reason to disagree with Butcher. Plenty of Supes were good people. Homelander wasn’t bad because he was a Supe. He was bad because he wasn’t a person.

@monuto_2 @argenticide_ @Trollingisfun4 @notjerk4kirk I know, but whether he did make them follow through or not is completely irrelevant. He did it because in his head it was something very extremely humiliating and degrading to force someone to do, and he was saying "don't kill me, utterly humiliate me instead"

@MikeW87354586 @argenticide_ @Trollingisfun4 @notjerk4kirk But he didn’t let them continue tho. He made fun of them for not having the balls to stand up to him.

if you genuinely had a problem with this scene, then you never understood homelanders character at all

@GrimboMinis @frenchgirlsxo @alvarta_ @meltborne She never got beaten over the head or a concussion idk your point. Her brain by all means was perfectly healthy, she just didn't have V in her system

@MikeW87354586 @frenchgirlsxo @alvarta_ @meltborne If I beat you over the head and give you a concussion can you tell me the capitol of every state in the USA?

sage ragebaiting kimiko just so she could be powerless forever😭 #theboys

@argenticide_ @monuto_2 @Trollingisfun4 @notjerk4kirk I'll give you that, he literally uses gay fellatio as a humiliation ritual with A-train and The Deep earlier in the show. I just felt like it was rushed, if there was more time for him to build up into escalating to "I'll eat shit live on television" it'd feel more believable

@monuto_2 @Trollingisfun4 @notjerk4kirk Homelander's entire life has been nothing but perverted shit behind the screens. People humilliated themselves for his approval, it makes sense that he of all people would think degrading himself to such extent is what butcher really wants. His head is fucked.

@GrimboMinis @frenchgirlsxo @alvarta_ @meltborne I'm not saying "she should still be the smartest person on earth" I'm saying she'd still have a capable understanding of the world around her, she just wouldn't be the ultra-genius anymore because of all the thousands of hours she spent learning shit, some of it would still stick

@MikeW87354586 @frenchgirlsxo @alvarta_ @meltborne She got her powers from the V she wasn’t this smart naturally bro. Idk what you aren’t getting but I’m starting to think you’re a fucking sped.

@GrimboMinis @frenchgirlsxo @alvarta_ @meltborne She would still have retained some information even though her powers are gone. That's like saying if a fighting class supe with V1 got the V1 blasted out he wouldn't even be able to throw a punch. She'd be at least average intelligence, not borderline mentally retarded.

@GrimboMinis @frenchgirlsxo @alvarta_ @meltborne Is your argument is that after her powers are gone all she'd magically have all the brain damage back, even though her brain should be fully functional as it was seconds beforehand? Because moments before that her brain was unlobotomized

@MikeW87354586 @frenchgirlsxo @alvarta_ @meltborne The healing that was done with the regeneration powers of V? The V that’s burnt out of her system now? That v?

@TruemanZak @Anfielder10 I just wish it got to marinate a bit longer, homelander was at his most pathetic and vulnerable for like 4 minutes. Then they hamfist Butcher into sort of wanting to release the virus but not really...? It was more like a suicide by baiting Hughie to kill him. I dunno man.

@Anfielder10 I agree that the eating shit line was a bit weird, it was uncomfortable to watch but I think that was the point, they definitely could have not done that line but I don’t mind it being there

The Boys finale felt so flat. Btw, not a fan of the entire Homelander humiliation ritual.

@Anfielder10 The humiliation ritual was fine, it was just extremely short and also the payoff was extremely underwhelming. The fact that they even teased in the show with the Madelyn hallucination that he will go feral and do unspeakable things, and then just, doesn't. So disappointing.
