![]() If the show decided to adapt the final storyline loosely, then perhaps it could have Butcher prepare his plan, but ultimately not go through with it. Perhaps it will be this love which ultimately makes him spare his team, especially since killing every Supe with Compound V would include Homelander and Becca's son, Ryan. RELATED: Homelander Murders The Avengers, Faces Thanos In Bloody The Boys/MCU Mash-Upįurthermore, Butcher, unlike his comic counterpart, has shown a more tender side, with his love for his wife Becca being the driving force behind both his vengeance and emotional vulnerability. There's always the possibility that Butcher would still take out his team just for going against his wishes, but the characters are all so beloved that it would be pretty unthinkable to have The Boys' finale be its version of the Red Wedding. Firstly, in the show, none of the Boys save for Kimiko has any Compound V in their system. However, there are signs though that the show, which has already heavily diverged from its source material, might not stick with this conclusion. This scenario would likely entail slowly making Butcher's actions throughout the next few seasons more and more deplorable, even at the risk of alienating viewers.

In fact, the ending of Game of Thrones could have pulled off a similar feat, had the showrunners taken more time and care with the source material and writer George R.R. ![]() Now, to be fair to the comic ending, an outside-the-box, bleaker ending could actually be refreshing, especially given the show's adherence to the cynical edge of the source material. ![]() RELATED: Tek Knight: The Boys' Iron Man Is Tragic, Twisted and Perfect for Season 3 The same could be said about Butcher, and while it may make thematic sense for his character to become so consumed with revenge that he plans a genocide and kills his friends, it definitely wouldn't sit right with fans of The Boys who have become attached to the titular team. Both Butcher and Daenerys Targaryen, beloved if flawed protagonists, take their quest for vengeance too far and lose sight of their original goal, forcing a close ally to murder them. Daenerys's dark side was foreshadowed by her actions in previous seasons, but her ultimate turn in Season 8 seemed rushed and out-of-character. This cold, uncompromising conclusion sounds reminiscent of Game of Thrones's notorious ending. Thankfully, Hughie, the lone survivor of the group, kills Butcher, stopping the scheme and saving millions of lives in the process. He does this not only to wipe any and all Supes from existence, but also to make sure no one prevents him from enacting his twisted plan.
