So Black Lantern just got squished immediately. I don't know if that's funny or annoying.

I know and I regret it a little but not fully.You've been ignoring a quarter of the story and are now reading a chapter that is focusing on the parts you've been ignoring. Of course you're lost.
Not really that many, since the present is set after the boys comics and the majority of characters deserving death. are either imprisoned or dead, with Hughie keeping a lot of the rest in line.Why is Paul perfectly fine sending Red there by himself after the Buffyverse?
If Red acted out on So many glorious targets there he can't miss in The Boys. Just throw a random attack at any crowd with a costume.

I know, the part about Compassionate Paul affects but I doubt Red knows that.Not really that many, since the present is set after the boys comics and the majority of characters deserving death. are either imprisoned or dead, with Hughie keeping a lot of the rest in line.
The only exception is Stillwell, but who cares if Red tortures him to death?

Maybe I'll read them later, but maybe not.
Indigo Paul didn't actually change anything significant about how things turned out in the Boys, like the only meaningful difference is that he prevented one of the higher ups from Vought killing herself.I know, the part about Compassionate Paul affects but I doubt Red knows that.
The actual comic I haven't actually read.
With most of the named characters dead, there's a good chance that Red won't even realise that he's in The Boys.Indigo Paul didn't actually change anything significant about how things turned out in the Boys, like the only meaningful difference is that he prevented one of the higher ups from Vought killing herself.
So red having red the Boys would quickly realize that hd is to late to save people by killing off the worst offenders.

That... Kind of gets explained at near end.I suggest that you don't read it.
It's grimderp to the extreme to the point that WH40k seems to be a more hopeful universe.
And you can actually find some good stories in 40k that are well written.
In this comic... ugh, you're more likely to find a good story in a medical waste bag containing an aborted fetus.
If you want to know about it then you read something on SB called 'Polokun reads The Boys.
Polokun tried to read through the cesspit of shit and sludge that is The Boys. He gives some interesting and funny comments on it, but he wasn't able to finish it, and I can't blame him.
He also makes some good points about the logical inconsistencies about the comic, like the fact that they gave Hughie super powers in the first place.
Now this is baffling because Hughie has never been in the military, police, or even taken anything as simple as a martial arts class, and yet they gave him superpowers from a vial that if I remember correctly costs a significant fortune to make, just because he lost his girlfriend to one of the supers.
I get that Butcher probably sympathized with him, but they couldn't find, oh I don't know, a soldier, cop, or someone that has taken a martial arts class. Considering all the shit the supers are doing the chances of there not being at least one person of those three previously mentioned categories that has a grudge to settle with them seems unlikely.
I know that this story features some random guy getting a powerful tool despite the fact that he never served as anything like a soldier or cop previously, but at least the ring was just looking for someone with the right emotions to use it and not their other skills and background history.
Pretty much in name only because https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScifiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale
That... Kind of gets explained at near end.
After the coup is stopped and Homelander killed, Butcher's next objective is using the control technology they got from Russia to kill all supers on the planet. He recruited Hugie as a substitute for his deceased younger brother because Butcher knows that he's got a violent streak and wanted someone around who might be able to talk him down.

Which only matters if you make the mistake of thinking that the Guardians prize effectiveness over being in control. They really really don't.
For example, the Guardians doubled the corps to invade Apokalips.
Even at twice the members, they were more worried about there being few enough lanterns to oversee than anything else.
They also didn't care enough to remove the yellow impurity weakness, which was discussed but rejected. In the comics, Apokalips' great defense against the invasion was yellow armor, by the by.
Which means the limit on lanterns is not based on resources available, just their willingness to recruit.
So even if one read that story and didn't realize that the Guardians got exactly what they wanted when Raker became the Green Lantern of Apokalips, with twice the corps Raker was in the process of beating Darkseid's face with a shovel when the Guardians decided to deal, that makes it plain that the reason the Guardians didn't swarm Apokalips and not leave until Darkseid's head was mounted on a pole was because they didn't think Darkseid was worth the trouble of recruiting more corps members.
Which means the more one buys the hype required to actually make Darkseid important, that worst the Guardian's control freak tendencies become.
I'm not sure that Butcher would have really stopped even for someone that is substituting for his younger brother.
He did get training. We only see it in flashback when he has to use a pen to save a choking Black Hole's life, but he did get some.It is still an incredibly stupid decision to recruit Hughie in the first place what with the spending a fortune for just one vial that may not even work, and basically not giving him any training whatsoever aside from having him learn on the job.
Butcher truly must have been a good brother if he is letting his little brother go up against murderous lunatics that will do all sorts of unspeakable things to him if they catch him.
That was sarcasm by the way.
Hit by a car.Though it wouldn't surprise me if that is exactly how his actual brother died, though I don't remeber if it is mentioned how he died in the comics.
Butcher wanted someone with a pure motive. Someone who was merely skilled could be bought off.Would it have been that difficult to find someone that has some experience in military matters and can substitute as Butchers brother, or at least kill Butcher if he goes off the rails.
Other than the rape. Or did that not happen in the comics?
Didn't happen in the comics.

Starlight was given the choice between performing oral sex on Homelander, A-Train, Black Noir and The Deep and not joining The Seven. She chose oral sex. While pretty disgusting, Homelander was clear at the time that she was completely free to leave and go back to The Young Americans. The whole point as far as he was concerned was to get her to voluntarily degrade herself. She even has a monologue later about the fact that she prefered to do that rather than leave.
So they do legitimately count as guardians of the entire universe because they don't really guard the universe?Which only matters if you make the mistake of thinking that the Guardians prize effectiveness over being in control. They really really don't.
True. Which is an important character moment, because 1) he's decided to be evil, unlike with Robin where it was carelessness and 2) Annie fights him off without hesitation.
People buy sugar-free jelly babies for just that purpose.Truly a wonderful comic with great characters, I take back what I said previously about this comic being worthless shit, if you ever need to induce vomiting on yourself or someone else and the regular methods don't work just read this comic, it will work every single time.
I honestly didn't feel that way about it. How do you write a villain who doesn't do anything villainous?Side effects may include: loss of faith in humanity, the inability to cease your vomiting, sheer unbridled disgust aimed squarely at Garth Ennis and whoever helped him make this disgusting abomination that makes the 'Inquisitor' books by Ian Watson seem like good literature, oh and yes feeling that The Inquisitor is better written than this comic, truly Ennis the likes of Neil Gaiman are amateurs compared to your work.
you know paul black's behaviour is disturbingly reminiscent of a loyalist space marine.
??? They seem more or less common to me. Also how common or rare they are isn't the point, it's that the universe is SERIOUSLY EPICALLY HUUUUUUUUUUGE!! So the Oan's Guarding even just our Galaxy is a bit of a stretch (excluding things like the occasional crisis and things like Blackest Night that happen from time to time, though even then they don't seem to do much). Also not only in the universe way beyond huge our at least is constantly expanding in every direction at the speed of light.
Rape via coercion is still rape.Didn't happen in the comics.
