The irony of all the whining about this is that in the show, 'Girls get it done' is *literally* a cynical marketing slogan from the PR branch of an evil megacorp.
An additional level of irony is that none of the 'girls' in question actually manage to get *anything* done.
It's unlikely this is a coincidence.

He loved his wife enough so that making a promise to her actually meant something to him. Now, the real question will be how does Butcher feel the farther away from Becca's death he gets.

Which was a really gay and cliché way to end the season. His hatred for supes should outweigh anything he feels for this kid who is a product of him being cucked by a supe, regardless of what he told his dumbass wife.

Its a pretty bland heroes journey if the hero fails to do even a bit of character development.

Don’t see why you’d box Butcher into a hero’s journey arc. Seems like the blandest thing you could do with him.

Butcher is about the most tarded hero you could have, but all the signs from season 2 point to him becoming a hero or something. Fight for huey cause he looks like your dead brother. Working with and showing empathy toward a few super heros. And putting your life on the line extremely stupid and senselessly to protect a superhero cuckbaby.
It's all pretty heroic and showing butcher can find a happy middle ground with sups.

You guys are a special breed of toxic Jesus. His wife was is driving force. I dont see him blaming the kid for her death- she was 100% dead with stormfront there. Becca knew he wouldn't accept Ryan with her dead, it is why she made him promise.
His word being worth something and honoring his wife's literal last wishes is perfectly fine as a counterbalance to his hate of supes. He has already shown a degree of sympathy (to blue laser baby eyes in s1) so his journey being tied to Ryan makes perfect sense from a storytelling perspective.
The source material was entertaining and all but you're gonna be in for a surprise if you think they're gonna keep the main storyline the same, including butcher being basically a sociopath.
No redeemable characters in a comic is fine. No redeemable characters in a TV series loses you your audience.

you also forgot the dumb joke.... American, Brit, Frenchie, and Russian team up to kill the Kraut.. I mean, that was entirely the reason Ennis did it. Arguably just as dumb as "girls get it done" with axis vs allies.
Butcher being a giant softie, makes him the "hero". hes not, nor shouldn't be. Huey is. It completely muddles everything up with Huey stays as sidekick, because Butcher is still around.

You need to rewatch the final few moments of episode 8, Butcher was 100% about to kill Ryan with the crowbar, he even makes that menacing scowl face he always does before a bit of violence is about to be unleashed. It was just him, Ryan, and burnt stormfront for a minute before Homelander and Maeve arrived.
The only reason he changes his mind is that Ryan goes to him instead of Homelander so he probably sees that part of Becca in Ryan. But moments after promising Becca to keep Ryan alive he was about to kill him. Thats a feeling thats not gonna go away.
