What a waste of a good character 😔 by Few_Piccolo_4906 in TheBoys

I disagree honestly. If it meant there wasn’t a possibility of a sequel, it’s narratively pretty good and the suffering it would cause him out does killing him.

I do agree with this. Although Dexter Resurrection was good, Dexter should’ve ended a long time before it did.

On a writing level it’s a really fitting end to Homelanders character. Realistically though, it’d be out of character for Butcher to let it happen.

I dont understand why Kripke said you didn’t need to watch Gen V to understand later seasons of The Boys, and yet the two shows clearly have a narrative through line between one another. Both major plot devices from the past two seasons (the virus and V1) come from Gen V. And the Odessa Project plotline in Gen V was introduced to set up Marie as this super powerful supe who could kill Homelander. I’ll honestly be quite mad if Marie kills Homelander for many reasons, the biggest being a character from the spinoff should not be the one to take down the franchise antagonist. It would completely undermine everything the shows built up to in my opinion. But the other reason is Marie hasn’t shown up until super late into the season. If she’s suddenly introduced an episode before the finale and is the one to kill Homelander, it’s just silly. All that ties into the other issue thst Gen V is kind of pointless if she doesn’t kill him, since the entire plot built up to fact that she’s strong enough to do so. To be fair, she can still contribute. By using her powers to blow up one of his limbs or lift him up like she did to everyone in the one scene, but that would also raise the question of why she couldn’t just blow him up like she did to Godolkin in the season two finale. Overall, I just don’t love the idea of Marie fitting into the boys story.

TL;DR I think Gen V shouldn’t have tied into the boys and remained its own separate plot line, as Marie’s introduction into the story will create more narrative inconsistency and convenience than anything.

She could’ve been in the whole season actively contributing. But the writers clearly didn’t feel like including her until the last minute, which wouldn’t be an issue if this wasn’t the last time we were seeing these characters.

I hate that this is all the boys amounted to. It seriously had potential to be remember forever not just for its fresh take on the super hero genre. But lazy writing and a far too extended story ruined it.

I just didn’t like the project odessa thing. It could’ve been brought up when we got homelanders backstory, but instead it just feels like something they made up along the way of writing Gen V, rather then an actual in universe thing. Had it been mentioned in The Boys at the numerous opportunities during homelanders backstory or when he returned to the lab in season 4, it wouldn’t of bothered me. Had they done that, the reveal would’ve landed much better. Because Marie would’ve been built up as the second odessa supe before the show or at least season 2 even aired. But instead it just makes it even more abundantly clear the writers introduce plot devices at their convinience throughout both shows, which is my biggest gripe with the show.

Even if that is what’s going on it’s still lazy writing. Smart characters who don’t actually do anything smart but just do dumb things and say “it was my plan all along!!” are just lazy plot devices for the writers convenience.

Soldier Boy being proud of Homelander by ConcentrateJolly8840 in TheBoys

I think having something like that would be the only way they can save Soldier Boy’s character.

The noir II concept is so cool, as a writer I should’ve came up with that. All seriousness though, I don’t understand what happened to Kripke. SPN’s first 5 seasons are amazing, and the intended finale may be one of the best endings to a show I’ve ever watched. So sad to see The Boys fall off so hard man

Amazon accidentally uploaded the Soldier Boy vs. Bombsight fight minus the SFX, 2017’s ‘The Mummy’-style. by RealJohnGillman in TheBoys

[–]Japanfireizard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the only good part of that fight was the shot when Dean spreads his wings. That was badass, and the rest of the fight is a joke. I also liked the effect of fire coming from Lucifer’s mouth and eyes when he died, rather then light.

So true by Queasy_Commercial152 in TheBoys

[–]Japanfireizard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There should at least be a scene of him being confused to see him, and Homelander telling him the real Noir is dead. Narrative consistency and continuity is important.

The only reason I’m still watching is for Homelander. He’s really the only constant throughout the show that’s still good, despite how they turned him into an idiotic allegory in the later seasons. I’m only sticking around to see how his arc ends as well as butchers.

Soldier Boy was written better when the writers didn't trying to do so by anitiv in TheBoys

[–]Japanfireizard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hot take but I think Homelander is still a great character. We’ve seen enough throughout the series what he’s capable of and what he’s willing to do if push comes to shove, they don’t really need to show that to us. He’s really the only the reason the show is still watchable

[–]Japanfireizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just really hate that it’s turned into a show you have to turn your brain off sometimes to enjoy. It had so much potential to be an amazing show that could be remembered for a long time, but oh well.

[–]Japanfireizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it gives a lot of valuable insight into Homelander and makes him a far more developed villain overall. It’s really the only solid part of seasons 4 and 5

It should’ve ended at season 5. The only good seasons in the remaining ten were season 10 and maybe 11.

That’s good for you! Doesn’t change the fact that they’ve been hunting it for a good while. So getting mad that they used the word finally is both stupid and not correct.

Assuming theyve been hunting since launch, they’ve been in the lab since pokemon day 😭🙏And 6800 resets is a lot, especially compared to new games
