I've never understood the verbal component to his power; the conceit is that V is "Science!!", not literal "Abracadabra" magic.

Lol what the fuck, only Ennis would do this.

Ah no Frenchie my dude, pls no.
Cooper Cooper
why did Seth Rogen thought that making Billy a fucking cuck is better than this?
Leo Cooper
Shit, well so much for her.
Christian Reed
Oh god, I haven't watched the show. What did he do?
Henry Adams
his wife is alive and secretly raised the fucking baby after leaving her husband.
Leo Nguyen
It's funny. This entire mini is pretty much the entire thematic statement of The Boys for me - and it's the one part I'm pretty damn sure won't be included in the show, because it's bloody traditional.
Xavier Moore
Is it? It seemed like a Zatanna/Zatara parody. Team Titanic is supposed to be partly a Teen Titans parody.
Cooper Cox
I like how these two just decide to fuck off, the seven really had absolutely not loyalty to each other or anything so they just left before shit hit the fan
Asher Nguyen
My dog of 15 years got put down earlier today. So, this whole thing kinda hit me. I've read it before, but this hit pretty hard.
She went peacefully though. She lived a long, good life and was put down in her sleep. Her back was bad, and she was going blind.
Kevin Scott
Homelander has a child with Butchers wife.
Jayden Smith
I honestly think it’s more interesting keeping his wife alive and all. This is a very by the numbers tough guy revenge character. Can’t say I was ever impressed by his backstory, seems like the Punisher but with extra steps and more charismatic.
Jose Mitchell
That’s fucking dedication.
Levi Gomez
More like Punisher with extra digits taken out of the writers IQ.
Nathaniel Jones
>That eye
Mum should've just gotten a bitchin' eye patch instead
Eli Clark
Imagine if Punisher's wife was actually alive and had an italian mafia child?
Jaxson Price
If she were connected to the mob he'd ventilate her.

Man, she sure does have a way of getting back at her dad.
Austin Ortiz
Easy on the speedreading user.
Christian Harris
She is quite young. She make mistake like that.
Grayson Brooks
>She is quite young.
Understatement.
Dylan Barnes
Maybe it's because of the accent they are giving her, but I don't get it.
Luke Powell
All kinds of mental damage
Jonathan Fisher
Now think of Frank Castle as a Veterinarian and someone killed an elderly dog he's been raising all his life this is what you unleashed.
Landon Ramirez
He cant say the magic word.
Brayden Stewart
The Deep is best boy, no matter the format or skin colour.
Brody Watson
Thanks
Levi Turner
I always kinda liked the term" little people" for people with no powers in a superpowered universe.
Benjamin Howard
kinda interesting we never saw Bob interacting with any of the Boys
Nathan Mitchell
just started the first issue of the Superduper arc, lads
it's going to end up fucking sad, right?
Michael Gonzalez
wwait, the new thread archived before the current one?
Gavin Morgan
>Gumchewer
I remember people liking him back when this first came out
Jace Wilson
daaamn that was a nice story, I'm really happy the kids got out alright
Jaxson Roberts
Just starting part 7 I'm hoping this thread is still up when I'm done, contrary to Yea Forumsntrarian meme lords this hasn't just been pure edge, there's an involving plot and spot on characterizations throughout. Super Duper is best hero team ever.
Aaron Harris
Yeah, i always find it funny that most people who read the boys cant see past the "edge" and completly miss that this actually has somewhat of a decent story and characters.
Brayden Stewart
There's an edit of this where he stabs Martian Manhunter and the dialog is changed to 'why'd you eat me cookie, J'onn?' but I can't ever find it again
Isaiah Butler
The Superduper arc doesn't end too sadly, but the overall comic kinda does
Isaiah Lopez
He's just a weak-minded or just weak-powered supe who needs a command word to get his brain in gear and activate the power. Like people who pick a mantra for when they're meditating.
Brayden Wood
Here you go boyo.
Jace Lee

John Davis
Sorry about your dog, user. I'm sure she had a happy and fulfilling life thanks to you.
Jonathan Morales
Tropes vs. women broke everyone's brain a few years ago. Now 'fridging' a woman is unacceptable just because there's a trope associated with it, even it it's 100 times more interesting than what the show ended up with. If they went with the comic's route, they're just setting themselves up for the standard Sarkeesian-like criticism of women in refrigerators.
Not even a hurrdurr anti-SJW here, but the show is written just by the types of people who would consider themselves progressive for avoiding the type of stuff criticized by Sarkeesian.

The show literally starts with Hughie's girlfriend getting reduced to red paste, you numpty.

Joshua Edwards
I have to admit, while I never found Terror's schtick of buggering things funny, I always liked him otherwise, as this mad-looking wee dog with the big smile

>This is a very by the numbers tough guy revenge character
I don't want to just say no he isn't because he kind of is and it is incredibly reductive but that is sort of the point.
The storytime is finished so I can just say this, but the reason leaving his wife alive is such a fundamentally dumb idea is that The Boys isn't actually about Superheroes being evil. Ennis spent most of it shitting on the comics industry and superheroes, but the underlying point of the series was to deconstruct and damn characters like Billy Butcher. Someone who is initially presented as, to use a stupid term, a cold blooded alpha badass but ultimately reveals himself to be an incredibly destructive aimless monster who just wants his wife back.
There's a reason why everyone says, Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker, is what makes this series. In adapting Rogen either missed the point or decided not to tackle it. I'm not going to say the show is worse for it. They actually did something far more interesting with the heroes of the series, making them all more like the Deep before they went off the deep end, which is honestly what I think superheroes would be more like. But Butcher in the show and the Boys in general are just not as interesting as the heroes.
Mason Price
Why do you think they can't do that with him being revealed as a monster who can't handle his wife having Homelander's kid? Shit, they can make him into an even bigger evil than the comic, by having him kill the kid simply because "it's a fuckin' supe!", but really because it's homelander's kid and he can't have any of him surviving.
Eli James
Because ultimately the character in the show is too much of an incompetent bumbling knobhead and the person designed to show why he is such a piece of shit, Hughie, has become a piece of shit. They could do exactly what you are saying and I would just kind of shrug because of how nothing the character in the show is.
It's not going to work because you make him more evil or petty, because that wasn't the point. Everything Butcher did in the The Boys wasn't out of character it was just directed at his so called allies rather than others. There's a reason why Ennis went out of his way to have Butcher designed as a face of pure malice and why he quoted Unforgiven.
Him getting mad and genocidal because he was made a cuckold is just fucking meh compared to the comic. But again the show does other shit far better than the comics so I kind of hope they don't go down the route of making Butcher evil so I won't have to complain about the lost potential.
Nicholas Bailey
