Yeah this show is awesome but this thread sucks

Crap. I held off reading this thread until I finished the series only to find that this place is full of guys trying to de-stigmatize rape. WTF?

Same! Finished the season last night and immediately came here and thought I was on the damn Poli board.

Show was amazing. I never read the comics so I am not aware of any changes being made for the tv show. Regardless, I enjoyed every second of it and can't wait for season 2. Just wish I didn't binge through it all in 2 days.

Starlight is so fine, but yet keeps that classy innocent look. When her and Hughie finally knock it out and her eyes light up I thought to myself "damn Hughie probably feels like such a boss right now" . I like how they were able to keep her character true to herself while never coming off too preachy. She's an innocent girl who understands mistakes can be made and physical intimacy doesn't make you the devil.

There's not a single character I would change/recast of "the Boys". Mothers Milk was perfect. Frenchie was perfect. Butcher was perfect. Hughie was perfect. They are all so different yet they come together so well. Kinda like....the spice girls! HA! Did anyone else have trouble understanding Frenchie and Butcher at the beginning? I watched with subtitles just for them to make sure I didn't miss anything they said.

I kept finding myself liking Homelander even though I know he's the driving force of all things bad. I love how much thought and planning goes into his decision making. The last episode where he says he goes back to find out the real truth from Vogelbaum was great. Can somebody help me understand where Stillwell's and Vogelbaum's stories didn't match up? Idk if I just missed it, or it was just something we were to assume was true.

ENDING SPOILER...…


I really hope season 2 shows that Homelander forced Becca to have sex with him. If all of it was done willingly like he said, all of Butcher's actions would have been for nothing and take away the value of it all.
