I stopped following The Boys back at the end of S3, but I’ve read the comics (they kinda suck)
Tap for (comic) spoiler
The end has Butcher assassinating the rest of the team one by one. When he comes to Hughie, he goes easy because he wanted to die as well. How did the show make it happen?
Butcher offers to start a new life with Ryan and is rejected. Then he sees his dog Terror has died. Butcher then takes the Kill-All-Supes virus to Vaught Tower intending to release it. Hughie finds Terror has passed and realizing Butcher’s intentions heads to Vaught Tower to stop him where they have a fist fight that ends in Hughie shooting Butcher
It’s a solid ending for the Butcher character and was obviously needed to wrap up the story. The show was about more than Homelander.
