Tap for spoiler
They could have ended it after Homelander was killed, everything after felt unnecessary. Butcher was right but pussied out and allowed Hughie to kill him, which was very out of character. In the end we got a Hollywood ending where nobody learns anything and nothing changes - kind of true to the real world but a bit too depressing.I stopped following The Boys back at the end of S3, but I've read the comics (they kinda suck)
Tap for (comic) spoiler
The end has Butcher assassinating the rest of the team one by one. When he comes to Hughie, he goes easy because he wanted to die as well. How did the show make it happen?spoiler
Butcher offers to start a new life with Ryan and is rejected. Then he sees his dog Terror has died. Butcher then takes the Kill-All-Supes virus to Vaught Tower intending to release it. Hughie finds Terror has passed and realizing Butcher's intentions heads to Vaught Tower to stop him where they have a fist fight that ends in Hughie shooting ButcherIt's a solid ending for the Butcher character and was obviously needed to wrap up the story. The show was about more than Homelander.
