Should Tek Knight be introduced in season 4 of The Boys and the focus similar to how Soldier Boy was done in season 3? What quirks, changes (if any), or things would you like to see?

They'll just make him an Elon Musk analogue to say how bad he is
>Multibillionaire
>Gets off on his own creations
>Has his own private workshop of realistic frickdolls
>Enters business deals with Vought to shift away from supers into hardcore military tech
Isn't that just Modeus from Irredeemable
did you even read irredeemable?
Modeus was just a closet homosexual Lex Luthor that wanted to frick his Superman and murder anything that distracted him from their eternal rivalry.
maybe
>elon musk
>his own creations
>Has his own private workshop of realistic frickdolls
Insanely based
holy the boys comics are bad compared to the show,
but anyway, just make him a Superior IronMan type of guy with a big actor like Jon Hamm
This is advanced shill posting
what you mean anon, im not a bot
They going full degenerate pan sex addict?
Based, frick this guy
No, I was commenting on how The Boys' satire is extremely shallow and fricking stupid
You should not be happy about these things
Jeffrey Dean Morgan seems like an obvious choice for this type of character
Surprise cast Javier Bardem
They don't look alike anymore.
SUPER Liberal groomer tech guy
One guy uses incorrect pronouns and he rips their head off
With Homelander being ultra conservative we need a opposing evil dude on the left
No one like that actually exists, anon. Homelander is basically a Trump analogue. Soldier Boy was an example of toxic masculinity and old timey bigotry seeping through the ages.
I like how Ennis claims to hate Batman but then makes his expy the most redeemable supe of the bunch.
Didn’t ennis say he likes Batman, supes and wonder women and hates all the other ones
Superman Batman and Wonder woman are the only superheroes he has any respect for. The best parts of the Boys the comic are because he intimately understands what makes Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman tick. And what would have to happen to turn them into monsters. Like Alan Moores Dr Manhattan works because he understands how Superman is supposed to be written.
Is he Batman or Ironman or both at once? I never really could figure it out. And ya Tek Knight literally did nothing wrong (that he could do about). And Tek Knight kinda broke the power level rules in the Boys. If Tek Knight tech existed... why was Compound V even a consideration? If you could legit turn out teams in Iron Man suits for the same price as V then you solved the 'moral' and professional problems with creating Supes.
Well since nobody else is shown to have suits like Tek Knight there's probably a reason for that.
He is both, he has a Robin and an Alfredo plus Batcave but he also had an Ironman suit and hang out with the not Avengers.
Why do you have any reason to believe that the people in the suits wouldn't be just as grabasstically incompetent and moronsed as the supes? That's the whole conceit of the universe. There's no reason every single one of the fricking supes is pants on head moronic other than Ennis having a hate-boner for super heroes.
they (and Vought) is too occupied with the celebrity farce they have no time for actual training on combat, tactics, hostage situations, descalating violence, etc. they think just sending a powered guy will fix things
I might be misremembering some other series that rode on Ennis's coat tails, but I vaguely recall Vought having supes in WW2 and they all get fricking slaughtered, along with Vought rifles getting a bunch of people killed. There's like ~50 years of evidence showing that supes are simply ineffective just from having powers, and Vought knows this.
Like, the X-Men (I forget what they're actually called but they're the X-Men) just get gunned down en masse by a Vought squad with guns. I don't remember if they use DU on them, but it's a comically farcial slaughter that makes all of the Boys look like a bunch of weak sisters for being afraid of the X-Men.
Like, seriously. It's so bad, a bunch of /k/ommandos could've stopped Homelander's coup.
To be fair it's less they're ineffective because powers but more because they're shit trained then their powers just get in the way. Like the one guy who just fricking flew away from the battle and got hit by a plane.
Also Vought brought a good amount of hard hitting hardware while all the dumbass G-men were lined up on the lawn ready for a fist fight. Homelander's coup would eventually be put down, the only real issue probably being Homelander himself since they were always unsure of how they could handle him to the point they had to make Noir to take him out.
But I doubt a bunch of crossdressing airsoft enthusiasts deerfrickers from Cinemaphile could handle it
The Boys are enhanced but they’re not (possibly enhanced) soldiers operating in teams using anti-supe weapons like automatic weapons shooting DU and supe-seeking missiles.
It is odd that no one has provided the boys with DU rounds, mind.
Didn't Kripke admit he approached Jeffrey Dean Morgan for the role? I assume Tek Knight will be the guest villain of the season like how Stormfront and Soldier Boy were in seasons two and three respectively.
and where would he come from?
government wing that was against supes on the army because they were working on this tech but it's not all fall apart because of Stan's move to sell temp V's for the army?
also, what about the g-men
The G-Men are being introduced through that college spin-off they just announced

Also Tek-Knight already got a brief mention in Season 1 so he exists in the show universe.
Why do normies hate the comics
Because it is different from the show. While comic fans hate it because it is bad in execution.
Because it lacks the cheap family drama of the tv show.
They speedread all the dialogue to get to the parts with gore and/or sex.
The comics shit all over the idea that there could be anything truly sacred. It's not often commented upon, but it feels unmistakable that the sheer, unrelenting lack of a shit the comic gives for leaving any one or anything with a shred of dignity has a bit of a point to the whole thing. The comic is just so fricking goofy and ridiculous. It's a major character backstory that a woman is raped by not Not!Superman and her husband only finds out when the rape baby bursts its way out of her womb, Xenomorph style, shooting lasers everywhere and then is beaten to death with a baseball bat. A woman trying to help out a bunch of Super morons has a fear of being smothered so a shapeshifter turns into a silly plastic man-esuqe giant cloth and smothers her because he's a fricking butthole. Huey goes to the door with menstrual blood on his nose from eating out his girlfriend. That one's just a scene that happens to hammer home what a life Huey has. There's an entire subplot humanizing Stillwell, and the punchline it was a long con just to create a fall guy. Who himself then weeps in his first true display of emotion when he finally realizes just how futile his endeavors are. Frick, the way everyone fricking talks like a parody of edgy dialog. I could go on about the ass gerbils, the President killed by a freak animal accident, on and on.
There's not a shred of dignity to be found anywhere, and yet the story makes a concerted effort to give people touching emotional moments anyway. The comic is entirely about what a complete farce its whole fictional world is and how its characters just have to fricking deal with it.
He just lost it at the sight of his R&D division trying to sell him The Deep dressed up as a KKK member. This sort of comical incompetence had him at a loss for words. It made him question the very reality he lived in.
In the sequel comic he's shown to have completely lost his mind by the time Hughie tracks him down in order to figure out who sent him Becky's diary
Wait who did send hughie the diary ?
Susan Rayner, attempting to bait Hughie into exposing what The Boys did to the world and use that for one last grasp at political power
Worth a read? That sounds interesting.
It focuses on Hughie and Annie's relationship but a lot of it also focuses on Butcher in that brief time period between the start of the The Boys and just after Becky died. It's interesting in that Butcher still has all that humanity Becky built back up in him so you get to see how a non-psycho Butcher would've been like.
It also likes to shit on woke culture occasionally.
Alright lads I'll give it a shot, cheers.
I would say so, yes.
Acts as a nice epilogue to the comic.
No Garth, it's pure juvenile shit, you didn't t know what to do with the premise
That was one of my biggest problems with the comic, I got 70 or 80 issues in and dropped it because of how grating I found it. I feel like it completely undercuts how terrible the supes are because in the world they live in, everyone is just as awful as them, or they mean well but they are shown to be basically moronic. The comic seems to belittle people just for the idea of believing in anything that isn't murdering more bad guys. I don't hate over the top edginess, it can be pretty entertaining, I remembered actually liking crossed by comparison, because at the very least it felt like the world had normal people in it too
I like how Crossed shows the virus affecting people even when infection. Just seeing all that brutality on display while trying to survive causes them to break down.
*even without infection
Because they "heard" its homophobic, massively sexist, racist and edgy. Those are really big NO NOs for Normies, its breaks their minds and triggers the childlike rage they are indoctrinated to rely on everytime there is a slight inconvenience
they didn't read the comicbooks
The Boys comic is a Marshall Law ripoff
and Marshall Law was a Judge Dredd ripoff
Mills can rip himself off if he wants and the art is far better than Le Boys
Because the tv serie only shows male nudity, while the comics at least also show a fair amount of female nudity. Seeing boobs drives them crazy. please understand
would be based to see him, I don't think they'll make him a sex fiend though. And if they do, he especially won't frick a cat.
kripke was the wrong choice for showrunner.
far too sentimental and too stuck in a "we need to be network appropriate" mindset.
Maybe Tek Knight's popularity will surge after Homelander's public murder, being the more "down to Earth" hero
