They completely changed this from the comics
Yes, they did.
And I'm not going to be a double contrarian and say that the TV show was 100% better in any way, just different, and I both enjoy and dislike both of them for different reasons.
you think they could get away with an accurate mother's milk or wee hughie getting raped
They fucking ruined Stillwell
Comics
>cold as ice, calculating suit that not even Homelander has the balls to fuck with. Utterly unimpressed my Capes.
Show
>dumb cunt who can’t keep her emotions in check and is visibly shaken any time she’s in the same room as Homelander.
But she’s got tits so who gives a fuck right? Great moments like this were sacrificed at the alter of Mommy Fetish for fucking smoothbrains
Yea, show Stillwell was actual genuine trash and kind of defeated the point of the character.
i think they're fucking up stormfront as well
Considering how the the last character they race swapped turned out, I’m guessing that Stormfront’s encounter with The Female is going to end with Stormfront sitting on the ground in the fetal position, crying while Female makes awkward purring sounds and pets her hair.
Seriously man, I couldn’t understand WHY they ruined her character until I saw her breastfeeding Homelander and then it made sense. Thanks for fucking nothing, Rogahn
You guys think they'll change the ending?
for sure they did. luckily its not as bad as preacher where the writers failed to understand the relationships between the characters and spent what little time they had together at odds.
I dont think we will see alot of stuff from the comic and im positive alot of the themes will get tossed out. they already changed Butchers back story and made him a bitch whose wife lusts for supe dick instead which kind of ruins the big reveal at the end.
I want a section 8 show so bad.
>Hugie’s first kill in the comics is a result of him not fully aware of how strong Compound V makes him, an accidental kill that comes back to haunt him, literally
>in the show his first kill is a sudden cold blooded act of passion that serves no real impact for the characters
This also ruined the “Why’d you kill my dog, Jack.” Moment, which is arguably one of the best in the film
> no gerbil
> no terror
> characters already losing plot points
> a black noir reveal wouldnt do anything for the plot now
its like the people making this shit have no idea what the source material even was or felt like they needed to mix it up because they cant do shit.
Most definitely. The boys are way more friendly in this.
I'm guessing they're setting up Homelander's son to kill him in the end.
He was a shit character in the comics. As if someone like Homelander wouldn't kill him so he'd be replaced by someone who doesn't disrespect him. Meanwhile emotionally and sexually manipulating Homelander is a way a human could actually have leverage over a superman level threat.
So you completely missed the point of the character.
Protip: All the show did was replace Homelander's daddy issues with mommy issues.
Only in the comic Stillwater isn't a complete pushover.
>I’m guessing that Stormfront’s encounter with The Female is going to end with Stormfront sitting on the ground in the fetal position, crying while Female makes awkward purring sounds and pets her hair.
That sounds really stupid. The Female would never do that.
>Seriously man, I couldn’t understand WHY they ruined her character until I saw her breastfeeding Homelander and then it made sense.
Which part? The White House Takeover arc or The End of The Boys arc?
We don't know yet if if was consensual yet. But it would suck a lot if it was.
>no gerbil
I don't think we'll miss that much with the gerbil aside from a few comedic moments. You're right about everything else though.
>a black noir reveal wouldnt do anything for the plot now
I'm willing to bet it's going to be either female Stillwell under there or another duplicate character under there instead.
They GOTG'd them.
>that sounds really fucking stupid. The Female would never do that.
But we don’t know that with this version, seeing as how everyone else has been treated radically different, I’m just trying to prepare myself for the worst because I highly doubt they’ll allowed Stormfront to be even half as ruthless as a woman than he was as a man.
Pretty much this. The show does a lot a like that's different from the original but I also miss some of the great stuff from the comic. Still enjoy both for different reasons.
The comic is terrible.
That's laughable.
In a good way.
No, it's just dumb.
That's a good thing. I don't get why 1:1 adaptations? If you want the same experience again why not just read the source material again?
If you aren't going to be faithful to the source material, why even bother adapting it? Why not just make an original work instead?
Reading something isn't the same as seeing it in a show.
The whole point whas how dumb and fake, the world of superheroes was, and how it was all staged and controled by a bland unemotional corporate suit.
Pretty much like the whole capeshit industry.
Different interpretations can lead good things. I hate you nerds who want adaptations of your nerdy favorites just so you can feel validated seeing it in a "real" and more acceptable medium for the masses.
Do you not see the events playing out in your minds eye as you're reading?
It is. Oh wow seeing Butcher stab that alien superhero in the tv is so much different than looking at the pages.
>You want a faithful adaption of a work you love? FUCK YOU, I HATE YOU, YOU'LL EAT SHIT AND ASK FOR SECONDS!
So why bother making an adaptation instead of just making something new?
What is it with westerners having so little respect for the things they "adapt?"
Yes, exactly. I'm glad you ageee with me
So deep...
Pretty much. If the comic book isn't good enough for you then fuck off.
Why do want an exact copy of an adaptation when the original still exists for you to go back to any time?
I'm glad you agreed that you were wrong about adaptations.
>never considered going without and not eating what they consider to be shit
>They completely changed this from the comics.
What is every comic book adaptation except Sin City?
Again, why adapt a work if you're not going to be faithful to the source material? Why not just create an original story instead?
Why are you making an adaptation to begin with if you don't want to adapt the story?
Why not just make something new?
Because they're corporate suits who are incapable of coming up with anything original.
That's literally 99% of what Hollywood and the TV industry are.
They do become something new like with Apocalypse Now and Prince of Cats.
>Why not just create an original story instead?
Good question. Why would you just redo a story completely the same? Do you enjoy remakes, user?
Because you're using a skeleton and adding deviations.
Why adapt something beat for beat? Is the original format not good enough for you?
It was not deep it was fucking graphical on every page.
Except Apocalypse Now takes place in a completely different setting from Heart of Darkness, and takes place ~70 years later.
Apocalypse Now isn't an adaptation of Heart of Darkness, it's more inspired by Heart of Darkness.
>Why adapt something beat for beat? Is the original format not good enough for you?
Why adapt something at all? Is the original story not good enough for you?
Same reason people make films, comics, books or vidya about Dracula or Tarzan.
Different interpretations of preexisting works.
>Why adapt something at all?
Good question. Why can't people create?
You would think capeshitters would understand this...
That was the point of the example.
Well, that just circles back to
Sure. Fuck adaptations.
Your example as to how adaptations become something new is a property that isn't an adaptation?
What?
