really heartwarming at the end, butcher's speech to hughey. "you were the boys...my boys, this whole time." before a genetically altered ant bursts out of his head, yelling "WHERE THE WHITE WOMEN AT?" surprising place for a cameo by dave chappelle but i think it worked out alright.
 
7 years later and the comic is still on top.

I will never understand why they decided to gove homelander a tragic back story if you were just going to make him a sniveling bitch when he loses his powers

THats the kind of ending you write for a character whos never been powerless.

Instead we know he was locked in an underground bunker and routinely tortured for his childhood and young adolescence.
 
It's the common haughty leftist trope - "I can do better than the original artist". The show strayed away from the original so much that it's essentially unrecognizable at this point, and it's no wonder they failed to stick the landing. They were too busy jerking off to their own self-righteous drivel to tell a story faithful to source material.
Their jerking off prevented them from telling a decent story regardless of being faithful or not.
