@dvorstone What I will say is it was abrupt in the way it played out, which isn't unrealistic but slightly unsatisfying.
If I were giving notes, I'd have homelander get truly stabbed/impaled before his pleas turned scatological. Even then BJ is within character. The shiteating seems random
English
@dvorstone Lol
He tried threatening and bargaining. He tried fighting.
He had played every card he had left.
If you think he wasn't always this simpering manbaby putting on an act the entire series you really truly don't understand art, media, and performance. Staggeringly so.
English
The humiliation of the villain is a sign of sadism from the culture that savors it.
Homelander is truly a villain but he was used to pain and suffering and was filled with rage. He would not have begged and pleaded for life. The show's portrayal is utterly inconsistent with how people like him behave.
It's a sadistic fantasy that betrays the sadistic convictions of the writers. They sought to humiliate the villain, but Homelander isn't real and they are. Ironically, in the end, it is the showrunners themselves who end up being the show's true villains.

In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke “Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.” “People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’ “I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.” “So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’ “And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”

@Anoney_Snufftan @herasblasterr It is, however, fascinatingly tolerant of racial hierarchies and outright slavery, particularly with droids that are often programmed with sentience, fear, and in some cases pain
English
@Anoney_Snufftan @herasblasterr It doesn't matter at all how you see yourself or pretend to.
Also, no. That's a big difference. Most art is at minimum implicitly anti fascist.
Star Wars, as I said is explicitly so.
And it doesn't spare the likes of american imperialism and neoliberalism.
Foundationally.
English
“I’m MAGA” and “I’m a Star Wars fan” is an oxymoron btw
English
@Anoney_Snufftan @herasblasterr No, Star Wars is at its core theme explicitly and inextricably anti fascist
Without its antifascism all that's left is lightsaber go whoosh
I know that's what the ai bro chuds reduce it to in their minds, but it doesn't make it a valid reading
English
@herasblasterr Franchise fiction and politics are only related when one actively draws connections, which false fans politically co-opting communities in bad faith do constantly; it's not subtle with those people.
This post is such behavior from you BTW.

He wasn’t “turned into” a Trump analog. He was a caricature of white nationalism and the far right from the beginning of the show. You conservative grifters just are terrible at media literacy.

The show writers turned Homelander into a Trump analogue, and this is how they choose to end The Boys. This entire show was just a deranged sexual humiliation fantasy projected onto Trump. They can't even produce a decent superhero parody without injecting their twisted fetishes into every script.

>Put his hand in an industrial furnace
>Lasered his own arm open
>Got gang stomped by 3 supes
>Exposed to enough radiation to recreate Hiroshima and Nagasaki
None of these were enough to make him cry, but a few straight jabs had him weeping. What a pathetic writer Erik Kripke is
Badman†@fw_Badman
I’m sure Homelander here has never felt that kind of pain before Bro started crying 😭 x.com/hvmestarr/stat…

"let's trade slaves" white people are crazy
⋆˚꩜｡@iheartbudi
anakin and padmé trading their droids instead of wedding rings is so special to me
English
@mister_shroom_2 Well ok, for where you want
What you're missing is Homelander had literally never been in this position before. He knew he was powerless and there was no escape. He'd already tried and failed threats and bargains
Fascists always go out snivelling
English
I don't care what anyone says. This was out of character for Homelander, even for someone as insecure as him.
It would've made much more sense for him to fall into a fit of rage, like Anakin at the end of RotS. Not a baby offering to eat poop.
I will die on this hill.
vittorio@IterIntellectus
on Reddit they’re calling it the best show finale in history
English
Why didn’t Homelander just use his lasers to kill butcher instead of crying like a baby?

Homelander offering billy a blowjob to surive might be most aura loosing thing ever damn #TheBoys

Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch

@Austin_Medzz Yea and the fact that his current girlfriend is ok with it is wild.
English
@Austin_Medzz ...why not?
Robin was a good person and had she been resurrected I'm confident she'd still be hughie's close friend
I don't see how this is any more of a threat to starlight than hughie naming his kid after any other friend

He was less cringy than the real thing. If anything they went easy on him.

@HariSel57511397 No, it was brutally honest to depict his downfall like the downfall of all fascists
Alone and snivelling
English
The reason it’s a bad idea to humiliate your villains is because it undermines the accomplishment of the heroes. Billy Butcher took down a man-child, not an unstoppable arch-nemesis.
