    #BillyButcher #TheBoys #TheBoysSeason4
    Billy Butcher is the main protagonist and… in a way the main antagonist of The Boys comics and TV show. Butcher runs a covert team of super powered C.I.A funded badasses who have dedicated their lives to one simple goal : keeping the super powered people of the world in check. Whenever superheroes commit egregious crimes, or start overstepping their bounds The Boys are there to set them straight. Butcher is directly responsible for re-assembling the Boys and picking their targets. He is the team leader and one of the most vicious people in the entire Boys universe.
    Be sure to watch all the way through to prepare for the Boys Season 2

      Like your explanations about these characters however in the book Billy didn't end the career of Ten Knight his butler outed him in the papers because Ten Knight fucked the butler's ear (seriously) and he wouldn't work for him no matter how much he begged

    I think Frenchie is my favorite. He still seems to have his humanity within him. When he was talking about the girl he first killed, you could see that he carried it with him. He isn't a psychopath, but he's done things he's not proud of. He further proved his humanity when he risked it all to save the girl in the jail cell. She could obviously easily kill her, yet he kept trying to reach her because he empathized with her.

    It's thought to be said that another main reason Billy recruited Hughie was because he knew, deep down, he needed to be stopped by someone more kind-hearted than him. He sometimes referred to Hughie as being like his little brother. Who we know stopped Billy from murdering his dad. Even when Billy was doing everything at the end, he was secretly hoping Hughie would stop him. And he did.

      Makes sense honestly. Easiest way for him to be on par and have a better chance at killing supers is to become one himself.
      Never read the comics but im curious if they will go this route with the show. Them taking V to gain super powers. Or will they constantly be the underdog humans who want revenge. A lot of it in retrospect just makes the heroes look incompetent. Yet homelander and A-train dont seem to have a problem with killing (A-train has more of a conscience obviously)

Season 1 of the show would've been fine if the would have saved what the did for like season 3 instead, but they rushed it all. The trailers sold us all on a show about a team of badasses that put super heroes in their place when they cross the line, but sadly the show didn't deliver. Instead they gave us a political drama fulled with dark jokes. I came for some human on super hero action and they took it all out.

      Yes, frenchie and kimiko are my favorite. There have been so many times on the show where im just dreading that frenchie will die. (Never read the comics and after watching this im hoping that if they go closer to the comics it goes well.) But if they do decide to off frenchie im gonna be upset.
      Also agree with huey. How they set him up in the first season it was obvious that he has panic attacks and doesnt do conflict well. But his character currently (just started season 2) jumps back and forth between season 1 him (easily intimidated and has moments where he just freezes) to him trying to be assertive but coming off as an ass hole/whiny at times.

      As for Heuy, i think he was inconsistant since the first season. Now i haven't seen S2. But given the fact he flip-flopped decided to save A-train instead of killing him, which was literally the point of the group he joined (he even killed Carbon) I don't understand why he would even stay with the group in S2 if he isn't gonna make use of himself.

    The show seems to be foreshadowing that Hughie is eventually going to take compound V. The show keeps showing us, the audience every time Hughie realizes his physical weakness compared to Butcher, Mothers Milk, ect.. especially in season 2. While at the same time showing us just how much of a good person Hughie is which really makes him the only person in the show who is really worthy of having powers. Not only is he a good person he is also intelligent. At least thats what I've picked up(and am really hoping for because I really do like Hughie and feel for him).

    American comics: stories about the best and brightest people in a world where nothing really terrible ever happens. British comics: stories about the worst and most psychotic people in a world where only the most terrible things happen.
