Who can blame Billy though

This plot point was my least favorite in the entire series. I get it. They need to move this kids story forward in a meaningful way but having butcher be worse than his own dad to that kid just seemed like a plot device and not something his character would do.

He was trying to threaten Stillwell and missed her relationship souring with homelander. Hence the “oh bollocks” ending. Most surprising was that he lived.

That's true, It's more Butchers (justified) feelings towards Supes and how badly he treated Hughie for it.

This honestly. In addition to potential future Ryan problems, Homelander would've been dead last season if Butcher hadn't fumbled so bad with Ryan.

Homelander was gonna be just fine, butcher was just gonna blow up a baby for nothing. He didn't intend on actually blowing it up, because he wanted homelander to cooperate, but when he didn't, butcher didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

Genuinely not sure hah. I’m going to say leaving his team to die so he could go commit suicide via bombing Homelander and being okay with killing Stillwells baby in the process.

Horrific murders and concerning amount of care for his team? Nope. Abandoning the kid of his mortal enemy to kill that enemy? Absolutely.

His motivation is explained in the show. He had barely a pot to pisd 8n when he was a kid.

The wealth to be made from smuggling heroin from Afganustan hidden inside dead soldiers meant more to him than anything else.

And playing nice with cia guy got him connections that allowed for Anvil to thrive.

He says himself that he isn't going to let anyone take it away from him. In other words, greed.

Don't underestimate the love of money.

Because the writers lacked imagination.

greed

Low-key I'm on butchers side here. The rest of the team has spent the entire season prancing around, morally grandstanding while achieving nothing while butcher is the only one who seems to understand the gravity of the situation and then Mallory decided to leave her brain at home and turn Ryan against them

I'm honestly rooting for butcher and the parasite next season

He will redeem himself somehow. Gonna be fucking diabolical

Butcher’s Season 5 crash out will be fucking insane

his scenes last season were almost too depressing

He still gets more results than his team combined. Just kill all supes and end the nightmare. It everyone can't have powers, then no one should. Because those who do will abuse those who don't.

And the show has made zero effort to convince me that any supe is worth saving. Just send Annie and Kimiko to another country. Enjoy life in Greece or something.

To be fair, those two are mercenary without any sense of honor... 5 bucks and the promise to stabs people to death was more than enough to make them joins!

It was the only way they'd ever get back into the game.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if they were young adults at the time considering they were originally sort of a next generation of fighters

Honestly was really bummed this was not actually a part of his story in the game, just the generic guest DLC “somehow Ghostface appeared in MK world… and he likes killing 😈” bio/ending.

Money? They've been out of a job for so long that they would do anything for 20$ at this point.

Billie thinks Daud is losing his grip, and she's kind of right. Whether high or low chaos the guilt of killing Jessamine is clearly effecting him, and he's secretly saving up a nestegg and plotting to leave Dunwall which would leave them high and dry.

If Daud dies or leaves they'll lose the the supernatural powers they're relying on and if he makes mistakes due to his guilt he could get them all killed so it kind of makes sense for Billie to try and take over and find a new supernatural patron in the form of Delilah. She's ultimately just doing what he taught her to do, something he himself acknowledges.

Obviously we're on Daud's side because we play as him but the truth is he ultimately doesn't have his crew's best interests at heart and they're right to mistrust him and worry about what will happen if he leaves or loses his grip.

Everyone else’s powers were from Daud, Billie was also one of Delilah’s witches for a time iirc. Also they were likely capable enough regular assassins for after he was gone

I don't think it was billie's plan. I think it was Delilah's plan. Billie was just duped into it.

I assume Delilah sold her some bullshit about getting her powers to share like Daud.

Probably get Delilah's powers / hope the Outsider marks her for defeating Daud.

He also rekindled a gang war Johnny made a peace treaty to stop

From any Rockstar game, The Lost definitely had the worst fate.

At least Arthur died with some dignity, Johnny just ended up being part of Trevor's shoe.

I feel like people who wanted Johnny to have a happy ending did not pay attention to the story

And then Trevor showed up and blew the coffin up 😭😭

What am i, your damn dog!

How did they get that picture of kessler if hes all in le head

Fuck this leftist woke show. I'm out.

Me when I'm perfectly ok with genocide.

oui

the Stalin this generation needs

I know Homelander has to die, he’s the big bad evil they never make it, so that’s that. From the comics we know Black Noir will die as well, which is sad. However, I think Deep shouldn’t die, yeah he’s a terrible guy and all but out of everyone (but Annie, we’ll get to her later) he’s one of the “ok” super heroes and the only one that deserves redemption. I think he’ll turn against Vought, they made him a mutant after all. I hope Annie and Hughie don’t get a happy ending, that would be too obvious and sort of annoying. Also, they should keep some of the “bad guys” alive in my opinion, keep it interesting and somewhat real

I could see a lot of these happening except the Edgar thing. I genuinely believe he’s just a normal man with a lot of money and influence, and he’s on the older side as well. I don’t think it would take a bunch of people teaming up to overpower him

Well, it might be helpful to know that Edgar isn’t even in the comics. He is casually mentioned as existing off-screen, but does literally nothing relevant to the plot at any point.

I like the part about hughie and annie surviving and staying together :)
