Like holy fucking shit, Butcher finally has Homelander depowered and begging in front of him. What does he say?
“This is for frenchie”
Dude fuck you what about your fucking dead wife? Your entire initial motivation for dedicating your life to a crusade against supes?
Oh, sorry, the writers forgot about that, at least until homelander mentions her name like halfway through the scene
You know what I’d have written? I’d have Butcher say “This is for Becca” punch “This is for Becca” punch punch punch “THIS IS FOR BECCA” PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH “SAY IT. FUCKING SAY IT, YOU removed. OI. SAY HER FUCKING NAME”
Homelander gurgles, weakly, struggling “B…becca…”
SMACK, BLOOD SPRAYING “NOW THAT’S THE LAST TIME YOU GET TO SAY IT”
and then he beats him to death
Like i dunno shit at least that would have some kind if impact other than this wet fart
Edit: the word filter was for the C word, love stuff like that when my partner’s current favorite song is by the Lambrini Girls and basically says it 10000 times
I dunno maybe i look like a bloodthirsty savage posting this but i just think if my revenge motivations were about my partner i just definitely wouldn’t open up with THIS IS FOR MY BRO
I don’t watch the show so I don’t know how present in his mind his wife is throughout, bit maybe he’s been at the revenge game so long that his memory of his wife is faded, and the loss of his friend who was also part of his revenge quest is a much rawer memory.
OI. MAYBE. I DUNNO
