@CAL3BW1LL1AMS That was straight garbage it should have been way lower, they just wasted people money and time

I’m sorry what the FUCK is that finale rated????????

In season 1 of The Boys, Homelander is so fast that he grabs Butcher AFTER Butcher detonates the C-4 at Madeline Stillwell’s house and takes him to safety unscathed. I looked it up and apparently he moves at 23x the speed of sound. How could not escape the White House?

"My skin didn't char but I was screaming in agony, my tears just sizzled away." Homelander has a few moments that give insight to his relationship with pain. It defined his life and yet he has grown numb to it. He responds with anger in almost every instance of challenge but that's not because of the pain, it's the sheer desire for vengeance on a world that created him to receive and perform every torture and manipulation. Homelander took on three supes at once, got beaten, tossed around and nearly killed. He was inches from losing everything...but he didn't even hint at begging. He simply got more and more furious. Watch his fight with Maeve in s3, she can and does make him bleed but he goes for vengeance and immediately takes her eye. Not because he's so scared of her causing him pain but because he wants her to suffer much like anyone else crossing him as part of getting his pay back. Same for the guys who tortured him when he was a child. Homelander lasered his own arm open and didn't give much of a shit because pain isn't new to him whatsoever. He's an egomaniacal psychopath with a horrific history of intense childhood trauma turning him into a vengeful monster. This ending feels more like a self masturbatory fantasy where Kripke sees his enemies begging to suck his cock while he kills them. It does not however, for many in the audience, feel like the ending for Homelander. A broken monster losing the only avenue of enacting vengeance on the terrible world that he always wanted approval from. I would have perhaps expected him to see red, to enter an impotent rage, unable to do the damage he's desperate to achieve only to reach a despondent end. Knowing he is now incapable of taking that revenge, and has to simply deal with his psychopathy. Ending on a hard fought, bloody fight with Butcher, who would eventually win due to his training but at the very least give us a decent back and forth about how much meaning could be drawn from this fight. Butcher was created by Homelander and there's something to say about both men being exposed nerves turned empty shells, struggling to feel anything by taking even a sliver of vengeance whenever possible. I would picture them both drenched in blood, fighting to the bitter end, devoid of humanity, demanding payment for something they can't even fully rationalise anymore, after having taken so many lives. At the end, they couldn't even follow through on the threat Homelander was warned to be throughout the entire series, stemming from having lost a loving mother and father to protect and raise him as opposed to a sterile laboratory. The countless humiliations and tortures he suffered as a child, created Homelander as we know him. I guess, him being humiliated at the end is a good enough throughline to argue this was somehow worth it? "Evil Superman" was mostly a bad joke and they cashed in a petty ending for social media instead of finding something more in the material. Nothing here has layered thematic value for the history the show presented, your just supposed to vicariously enjoy kicking your own personal monster while he's powerless, enjoy him begging to suck your cock and eat shit while you kill him. It's all a rather long waste of time and can happily sit next to so many other stories that fail to realise their potential in this generation. But oh well, we still have Mandalorian and Grogu I guess...

I'm pretty casual when it comes to media, will watch almost any slop you put on my screen, but even I'm disgusted at how bad the writing was in the final season and final episode especially. The power scaling was inconsistent and the jokes were atrocious too. What a mess.

@zerowontmiss They nerfed him so hard like how can he one shot kimiko but can’t all of sudden specially when he’s desperate to fly away and Butcher going blow for blow such let down ending for great show

bro can go to space and back in 2 seconds but can’t fly away in the final fight? Yea pack it up Eric Kripke 💀 #TheBoys

@Ishidkher @diiito455641

@diiito455641 Yes I said on his own. That slop bowl tour include other artists

This Brown Album has some 🔥🔥🔥🔥 That is why I enjoy thinking for myself. Social media is crazy. I think more folks genuinely just hate CB.

I’ve always thought Stan Twitter is a low IQ cesspool of stupidity but I didn’t think it would get to the point where I’m seeing Zara Larsson is bigger than Chris Brown tweets.

Y'all so stupid of course people can name 5 zara larsson songs Midnight sun Stateside +zara larsson Midnight sun the sped up tiktok version Stateside+ zara larsson slow reverb

The Boys Season 5 is very likely heading to a Game of Thrones level finale and its making me genuinely sad. This season has absolutely struggled with pacing, its struggled with writing and has frankly entirely failed to feel like a final season. Episode 7 is good in a vacuum, it has plenty of interesting character moments and drama but as THE penultimate episode of the entire series? There is simply no logical way to wrap The Boys up in a satisfying manner in one more episode, this has 0 feeling of finality in any sense so far and the constant cowardly writing that refuses to push the envelope properly continues to be a huge issue. The marketing, looking back with the destroyed Vought tower feels so misleading and it makes me so sad. Its sad to see one of my favorite shows that had a genuinely fantastic run with Seasons 1-3 completely fumble and stumble towards its end. Maybe they aim to stretch this plot out over The Boys Mexico spin off, otherwise, I cannot possibly see this show wrap up in a satisfying way next week. Whatever they do, its going to feel rushed and unearned. I don’t think it was hard to make a Season 3 level season with multiple major fight scenes, and character arcs wrapping up, especially with how Ryan has effectively been written out of the show despite being the most important aspect of S1-3. I am just disappointed.

@Denjitaka @NakeemHere

@NakeemHere If you think this isn’t a straight copy from Naruto’s final fight then you are choosing to be delusional

Stole Naruto’s whole flow and did it so much worse😭😭

@ZeekCreedo @Mdso_Va1

@Mdso_Va1 H-hey p-put mahito there :D!

ALL THE PIECES HAVE COME TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE 🥶🔥

@ihatemeen_ Maybe watch the show literally Nolan explains it

quick question, how did Debbie get to the spaceship without wearing a suit?

@OmoAlade007 They nerfed Mark in the show cuz in the comic he punches were at least making Thragg bleed

Did Mark get weaker or did Thragg get stronger again? cos Mark punches didn't have any reasonable impact unlike Ep 7. His punches couldn’t even change Thragg's facial expression

Lol, accountability has never been your strong suit. - Aang was a 12 year old child who ran from responsibility -Rokku is more to blame than Aang for the war -Korra was 21 at the time of her foolish decisions How are you comfortable saying that a 21 year old woman and a 12 year old boy should share the level of responsibility? Or is it a frontal lobe issue? Help me understand

@borgirqing Jjk fans so delusional there’s not a character expect Gojo where’s Marks not speed blitzing and only reason he wouldn’t beat Gojo is infinity.

Yuta would have Mark like this if they fought

@terrificprodigy Here Nolan saying he moved a planet closer to the sun

Nolan was sweating with 2 other Viltrumites to lift a space ship

@terrificprodigy Didn’t Nolan move some planet closer to the sun?

Show me a feat from Thragg that matches this and I will deactivate TONIGHT

@tunechistark Have y’all been watching the show Homelander has been shown that he’s as fast as a train or at least close to it.

No way A train lost to Homelander bro, it doesn’t make sense 😭
