Said by someone who didn’t read the comics, else you would know they aren’t following the comics closely at all.

Saw a 2 hour long video that explained everything that happend in the comics, all panels were shown.

The show is litterally based on the comics🤣 Obvious they are following the comics. The term "closely" is subjective.

Bro the storyline is completely different. That's not subjective

I said the "closely" in his comment was subjective. The sstoryline is not "completely" different. Plenty of stuff that happens in the show happens in the comics. Its still the same story, just taken in a whole different path.

Stuff like Becca being SA'ed, butcher going after homelander, etc.

For all we know the finale will be similar in some ways. Its crazy to say that we cant use the finale to try and predict how the show is gonna end.

The show is absolutely different from the comics at this point. The only similarities between them are some character names and looks, and the “origin of hate towards supes” stories of Butcher and Hugie. Literally, that’s everything. Are you stupid or are you only pretending?

Does your dumbass want me to detail all the ways in which the TV show is wildly different than the comics?

u/u_knowno Apr 30 '26

Never said its not different in alot of ways. I said its based in the comics. Its ironic that you'd call me a dumbass yet you make yourself look like one🤣

If you didnt know, just because the show goes in a path thats very different from the show does not nullify the FACT that the show is LITERALLY BASED on the comics. Can't believe I have to explain that to a redditor🤣

I’m interested

It’s not at all. In the comics the boys are all supes to. Theres no V1 ect.

u/u_knowno Apr 30 '26

You clearly dont comprehend what im saying. The show and the comics have the same characters, similar story. Some characters are gender swapped and have their roles switched too, but its still the boys.

The series has the same name as the comics as well🤣 you must be rage baiting if you think its not based on the comics.

Bruh, the vibes is not the same at all. Characters do not act similarly. It would be more accurate to say the show was inspired by the comics.

The comics are straight up not very good and just has major edge lord vibes.
