The Boys - An Amazon Prime adaptation of the Ennis comic series

[ArthuriusMartyrius]

In fact, there's an entire article about him bitching about fans complaining about all the filler in the final season of his own show.
Constantly complaining about his fans and claiming they only want to see people fighting, even though one of the main premises of the comics was killing superpowered celebrities. Yet, the show is simply Eric Kirpke's whiny fanfic about how he hates Trump and people who follow him.

I'll send a link to the article below, but here's his response.

This excuse would've carried more water if Kripke did in fact "flesh out the characters" instead of assassinating just about every single one of them.

While the abysmal writing is 100% unintentional (thats just how kikpie writes), the ending might have the purpose of giving amazog room too shit out more spin offs/sequels later down the line.

Pretty much. There's a reason they put Soldier Boy on ice again instead of just killing him off.

Came across this, perhaps someone here might find it amusing.

Kripke continues to step on his own dick.

Starr pushed back on the trump shit as hard as he could
Kripke also admitted both that he wanted to make homelander like trump on SNL, AND that the V1 was literally a Macguffin.

Two ideas. If you hate cloning, have Black Noir be a twin brother since they're fucking IVF babies. Only the second one was catered to and made into a very bad thing on purpose. Hell, IVF results in multiple babies all the fucking time, they just fetus deletus the unwanted ones.

Second Idea, instead of V1 have the damn Uranium be the source of SB's immortality with V1 being a fucking placebo.

That would mean SB's attempt to kill Homelander accidentally put him on his level.

Meanwhile everyone is scrambling for the V1 and Homelander just laughs in space.

So the entirety of S5 was pointless.

Which is why making Homelander as Trump is so completely stupid. If you want to make fun of Trump, have Trump on the show, then have Homelander or Soldier Boy try kill him for being a piece of shit to them.

Homelander himself was created artificially, so cloning shouldn't have been that much of a stretch.

That's too smart a plot for the way this show has been going. S1 might have done it, but not the later seasons.

So the entirety of S5 was pointless.

So was everything after Season 3. They only had two more seasons because the heroes were incredibly incompetent.

I meant Kripke admitted it. That's the surprising part.

"It's bad. I want it to be bad. I made it bad on purpose to be bad" was one of my favorite Retsupurae quotes.

 

[Jace on ice]

If it's bad and shit on purpose why not just read the comic which is also bad and shit on purpose but doesn't have the unnecessary race swaps or insufferable reddit politics?

I don't know why Hollywood people keep doing this. Everyone does Trump jokes, comparisons, allegories and it makes everything become a bland mesh. The fact the first season was a commentary on the Bush administration, while it certainly would have been cliche back in the 00's, actually made it stand out more in modern day. Homelander quoting Bush's famous Ground Zero speech word for word was too on the nose for me personally, but a show satirizing America's post 9/11 climate hasn't been done in a while, and, 20 years later, could offer some unique ideas. Now it's just "what if bad guy was Trump" show #27 and has nothing to say that hasn't been said a million times by politically obsessed losers screaming at each other on twitter. What a waste.

...Race swaps? Are you mixing up the boys and invincible? Or are you mad A-train is black?

 

[Buckaroo]

To add insult to injury, have you ever wondered why Kripke decided to get rid of the big twist of the comics, that being Black Noir being a Homelander clone?
Well, here you go.

So basically, Eric hated the source material and decided to make Black Noir a black guy, then got confused when people started to sympathize with Homelander, even though he was the one who decided to show more of Homelander's past trauma, thus humanizing him.
This right here is why so many adaptations fall apart.
They're bought up by people who don't respect or understand the source material, and the new changes they make break the story.

"But cloning feels too magical for the show."

V is literally a magic potion that randomly gives people superpowers that often require their bodies to completely change in drastic ways to make them work. How is the worm guy somehow more sensible than cloning? How is Kripke allowed to do anything without a helmet and retard handler to keep him safe?

Edgar and Neuman are also no longer White on the show like in the comics. Supersonic is a spic as an adult and a pajeet as a kid on the show. The supposed mega Nazi on the show Stormfront is played by the most jewish looking actress they could find. There are lots of other obvious instances of generic DEI casting on the show (Gen V is loaded with this). Plus the show's obsession with hiding female nudity but overly exposing male nudity.

Pretty much. There's a reason they put Soldier Boy on ice again instead of just killing him off.

Soldier Boy has been put into the freezer three times now. They ran out of ideas in season three. And out of good ideas in season one.
