Don't know if you lot know this, but Simon Pegg is Hughie's dad because the original comic's Hughie was modeled after Pegg... like how DC's Lucifer was modeled after David Bowie.

I’m 6 episodes into this and it’s pretty damn good . The writing is good but the cast elevates it , especially Karl Urban and Anthony Starr (Homelander). It’s got some nice satire and dark humor aswell but I love how they humanize almost every character , even assholes like The Deep and A Train.

[@ragnar97]

@@cctomcat321 Have you watched the whole thing? I was glad they went a bit away from the comics till the last moments of the last episode. If that's actually happening..the fuck...just..the fuck..I'd say at best it means 3 major plots/story arcs are just gone into thin air I hope they nail it but I'm bracing myself for the worst.

[@cctomcat321]

@@ragnar97 yea, I'm on my second watch now. And yea but I don't mind them telling a new story either though... Would kinda suck if they just followed design and kept the same twists... Like.... *potential spoilers ahead, do not click read more to avoid potential spoilers* BN being a HL clone... Plus I wouldn't mind a little bit less of a blurry lined take either.. And everyone biting it because of you know who... Its like the MCU.. Some things ripped right from the page like Simon Pegg... Only he's Hughie's dad rather than Hughie or the laser baby... Some things changed for a new story. Honestly, in the hands the show is in, I'm not the least bit worried. Kripke, Rogen and... forgot the third guy who always works with Seth... They're doing a solid job so far. Plus I'm kinda glad the Seven didn't run a train on Starlight either... That would've been a bit much.

[@ragnar97]

@@cctomcat321 I'd recommend editing the BN thing because it risks spoiling stuff for those who can put 2 and 2 together or have a keen eye. To your point, I do agree with everything you said though I wouldn't mind if they just had decided to follow the comics to the letter either. As long as it does the comics justice that's good enough for me. Thing is, with that ending I only see 3 options: -they go completely off book taking the plot in a whole different direction -It was a dream sequence -they try to follow the comics plot even though major players just lost their main motivation To be clear I'm not saying I expect them to fuck it up, I guess my point is I'm not sold on the implications of those last 10 minutes yet

[@ragnar97]

True. That said, while I personally don't care about most of the changes they've made, some I even like, I'm on the fence about the implications of those final 10 minutes. If it isn't a dream sequence it means a huge departure from the comics I read the comics long ago but from what I recall that ending means comic book fans are just as clueless as people who just discovered the show.

As one who hasn't read the comics but enjoyed the series, I'm curious to know how you enjoyed it. I understand they changed a few things and really made it their own show, which I assumed to be a good thing.

[@CrimsonOdachi]

@@AngryPieMan In my opinion, the show's better. The comic's not bad but it's excessively dark, convoluted, and gruesome at times. I know it's meant to be that type of comic but it's a bit too much. In the show, they've really also streamlined the plot well without losing the darker elements and balanced character "screentime" and powers better than the comic.

[@AngryPieMan]

Neat! Good to know. I really enjoyed the show. So it's nice to know it didn't dishonor it's source material.
