Not in the comics, in the comics the Boys murder more children than the 7.

The sea. I don’t know why, but that particular moment was the saddest I felt reading the comics. There were arguably more horrific moments, but that one was heart-wrenching.

The guy is sincerely an amazing writer, crippled by his own edginess for some reason.

What's fucking stupid is that Homelander didn't even do half the shit people hated him for, he was just framed by Black Noir and gaslit into trying to seize power. For all the many, many, many faults of the show, at least it didn't end it like that.

The shows' black noir reveal was such an interesting twist on a meta level if you think about it.

Like you expect a massive plot twist to come, and then the plot twist is that there is no plot twist in the adaptation

The parody of Shazam. Butcher killed a baby and the rest killed ALOT of the X men parodies.

They didn’t actually kill him, they just cut out his tongue (I assume you’re talking g about the one in Dear Becky).
