That's where I'm hoping it goes eventually. Deep takes over the Church and now has billions of dollars at his disposal so he forms his own 7 of Fresca obsessed heroes.

Think about if Deep formed a solid alliance with all the great white sharks and orcas, and formed an elite oceanic death squad that terrorized beaches around the globe. he would be an awesome villain lol. So many different things they could do to really be assholes. Better than the girls bullshit.

? Not really? He cant be multiple places at once, and cant breath under water from what I understand. I mean obviously he would annihilate any focused attack, but overall the Deep has a ton of options at sea. The ridiculous whale scene was just one over the top example of the shit he could do in the water with aquatic animals.

My take on that scene is that since Stormfront had her hand on the throat killing her, when she got toasted her grip of pain ripped the throat wide open. Or something similar.

It's not like he didn't try it repeatedly against Stormfront. More balls than brains is kinda his thing

Yea, I mean Homelander threw Ryan off a fucking roof LMAO.
Pretty sure it would take more than a crowbar to top the kid off.
Also, Evil Deep lol! That would be an awesome persona. have him change his outfit into something black, with some sort of mask around his eyes maybe, who knows, but if he turned into some sort of maniacal commander of the seas most dangerous, that would be awesome.

homelander tossed ryan off a single story house, wasn't it? and the kid landed feet first. and didn't he pass out or something? i'm not rewatching it because i don't care much.
ryan is at the PERFECT age for whatever powers he has to not really be developed. maeve said in season 1 that that's how she broke her arm saving those kids on the bus in that story. she was still young and her strength and durability hadn't fully developed. it would appear that ryan's laser eyes are stronger than homelander's, but who's to say, really.
butcher was 100% enraged at ryan was nearly having a psychotic break since his ENTIRE modus operandi just died in his arms. whether or not it was POSSIBLE to brain ryan with a crowbar never entered his mind. i DO think that ryan going to butcher instead of homelander ticked something in butcher's head, though. i wouldn't be surprised if his headspace in that moment was about using ryan to get at homelander somehow.
also my boy jensen ackles is playing soldier boy next season and i just... well i was super excited when i found out but the way this season went i just am not sure anymore

I thought Butcher would end up mentoring and protecting Ryan, watching over him so he develops into a "good supe".
But nope, they just have him dump him off to the CIA or whatever.
With MM going home, Hughie going to work for head popper, and Frenchie going on vacation with Kimoko, the boys aren't even a thing at the end of the season.
So it will be interesting to see what Butcher does, and I hope Stillwells baby turns out to be some awesome power user who comes out of nowhere down the line.
Edit: does Homelander just stop giving a fuck about Ryan since he rebuked him and is now basically gone?

Right now the Boys are essentially taking the between season vacation like pro athletes. It was already mentioned by Ms CIA that she's going to have off the books money to run an op again. This is essentially the set up of the Boys in the comics. Which tells me Butcher will be in, and when he runs into his first big problem he'll take an episode or two to "get the band back together".
Stillwell's baby would have to grow up, which will mean years probably.
And I would say Homelander at least superficially walked away from Ryan when he didn't "love" him over Butcher and his dead mom.

Homelander will care about Ryan when he realizes that he's the only person that poses a threat to him.

at the very least, this. homelander absolutely cares about ryan but only so far as it meets his own needs. he wants to be a dad specifically because he's obsessed with adoration and kids love their parents... well, until they don't. i wouldn't be surprised if homelander never thinks about ryan right up until ryan shows up with a grudge

I hadn’t watched any of this until this week while on vacation. Binged both seasons. The first was really good, loved it. The second was riddled with plot holes, people showing up out of nowhere several times, and weird out of place lines like stormfront giving her random “white people are being genocided” speech to Ryan. A massive walled in compound in the middle of nowhere with an eight foot wide escape drain...Maeve appearing into random open field with no coverage that would have his her walking up, could she fly? I could go on about other things that were dumb.
I still enjoyed both seasons but the second was a definite let down.
After I was done I went to read some of the comics and had to stop after five or six. Man that shit is awful. Teknite trying to fuck a cat, fucked a hamster and killed it? It was just way too over the top juvenile for me. Anyways, it was way different than the show, even the first couple comics. I prefer the humans not directly confronting the heroes like in the show, trying to think of creative ways to kill/incapacitate them instead of just fighting them in the streets.
The first season of the Boys reminded me of The Returners series by Brandon Sanderson, which I enjoyed. Just regular people trying to figure out weaknesses and stay out of sight so they don’t get annihilated.
