Butchers death didn't make sense to me and also the Gen V characters and expectations regarding Vought Rising
First of all im sad,that season 5 didn't feel peak every single time and mostly felt time pass.Only loved 3 episodes(1,4 and 6).
Finally after watching the finale, I felt it was a show bait to show Gen V characters,I almost felt because of Vought Rising(taking the same prequel and sequel root similar to Better Call Saul).Yes the finale takes the faithful adaptations of butcher Vs Hughie ending but Hughie had a huge reason to kill butcher in comics because butcher was killing other members of boys and he was also got fake warned by butcher in the end to kill him in anger.
They didn't even use post credits or didn't show trailer of Vought rising, Huge miss opportunity.
Plus I Believe if the soldier is alive so most likely stan edgar will use him again or there will be another way of manufacturing supes again so ultimately Vought rising should end with edgar and the soldier boy gets beaten by The boys and the butcher and end it once and for all.
I believe Butcher shouldn't be killed at all because ultimately Soldier Boy is the foundational personality of the homelander himself so ultimately MM And butcher Vs Soldier Boy should happen in Vought Rising and also Bob singer gave an offer to Hughie for again catching supes which is Butcher's soul purpose.
They should only stick to 3 or max 4 seasons to end this supe culture through Vought Rising.
Miss you butcher❤️❤️
Btw loved Anthony Starr's begging performance 😍😍
