Butcher says “as long as there is Vaught there will be supes and it’s just a matter of time before one of them becomes the next Homelander” to justify killing all the supes, but the problem as we all know is capitalism and they are literally in a revolutionary moment where they could actually end it with the supes becoming immortal folk heroes but no, mass slaughter because vengeance on the one that he hates is not enough he just wants to kill all the supes out of spite and frankly sure there is an argument to be made for that but that still ain’t fixing the rest of the problems with capitalism.
Butcher picking up the crowbar: “mmmmm imma do some larps” (excuse me sir)
I AM THE HOMELANDER
The Boys: Mexico
More coherent summary: The Boys TV show predictably ended up becoming what they set out to satire. A dated multimedia property that churns out content with no real direction or focus that somehow looks lower budget than what came a decade before it and is carried by celebrity actors (Anthony Starr’s shoulders are broken from carrying this show).
The messaging deteriorated to a point where it appealed to no one who wasn’t a democrat zionist millionaire (the producers). Theres really no authenticity to the shows politics when one of their main characters is a literal Israeli IDF genocide enthusiast and I hope all the chuds cannabalize their own show.
The core thematic thrulines set up in season 1 (homelanders plane hijacking, Vought stoking conflict by spreading the supe virus to other countries, etc) are just dropped to pave the way for asspulls and spinoff shows.
I doubt the Boys franchise will survive after the exit of Anthony Starr, I only tuned in to see butcher do some larps and homelander to land home.
As far as the main show this is the end. I think they also pulled the plug on Gen V which was actually pretty fun. The fact they brought in the three best characters from that show for the finale and then did nothing with them was a shame. I think the franchise is dead in the water at this point.
