@@CadeSkywalkerEU I'd definitely say so, i've reread the comics a bunch of times and it does feel like Ennis' parody on them especially with how almost every supe in the comic is pretty much a jab at D.C. and Marvel (Payback being Avengers, Soldier Boy being Captain America, Homelander being Superman, A-Train as the flash, etc)
The comic is just rough in every sense of the word, butcher the one supposed to be the leader of the good guys kills the entire gang knowingly and tries to kill hughie to and what does he get for this u may ask?, well he is stabbed by a bleeding out hughie but butcher is paralyzed so he doesn't even feel a thing and dies with a smile on his face, its so unsatisfactory
Funny enough if A-Train didn’t actually stop in the show, he would’ve got away with it without setting Hughie on a crusade. Hughie wouldn’t have seen A-Train that way and then Vought could’ve made up some bs about a villain that did it.
There weren't supevillians until like a few weeks after Robin's death, and Vought didn't know that was gonna happen cause homelander did it himself behind Voughts back. But he wouldn't have seen the bag so they're wouldn't be that important lead.
Yeah. Because his reputation will be damaged. Not cause he killed someone. He actually doesn’t give a damn. He only kinda gives a damn, it’s like he wouldn’t kill Robin on purpose, but Robin died anyways, and he’s like okidoki

tbh, the show version is much better. She only stepped a little off the sidewalk and got run over, then A-Train claimed she was in the middle of the road. It was a pretty cool and devastating scene. The comics version though? 💀 bro really said “cant stop the A-Train”
It makes it feel like they try to avoid killing innocents for their image, but it's clear after just a few minutes they all think they're infinitely better than everyone without powers, and he feels no remorse for what he did until S3 when he experienced what its like when a Hero doesn't give a single fuck about a non-supe that's special to him.

Honestly for me the best characters in the show are A train and The deep. I hope in season 4 they show more of them and hopefully give them a redemption arc.
love how the show makes that concept and situation so much more nuanced and complex. A-Train himself is genuinely interesting and fun to analyze throughout the seasons as he's not so cartoonishly evil anymore.
The show is honostly just a better version of this story than the comic, usually it's the other way around for most adaptations but all the comic says is "all superheros are evil asswholes" but the show acually fleshes them out more and adds a bit more depth to them while still keeping them evil

Now, there is a lot of one notes in the books but most aren’t actually horrible people besides a few, just douches.
You could argue that in the TV show, alongside being high on compound V, A-train probably can't stop because he is doing shipments of the material to terrorists for Homelander, making him afraid that if he is caught or stops than Homelander will kill him.
Spoiler My problem is that there is no build up to that moment. Hugie and a train barley interact in the comics and butcher kidnapped a-train out of nowhere and goads Hugie to kill him.
>Overdoses on drugs >Runs so fast and kills an innocent woman >tries to act remorseful > Says "can't stop when running" >Doesn't elaborate further > Leaves
They’re both the same A-Train in the show seems like he felt the same as the one in the comic his apology is fake his remorse his fake …The comic is at least up front and real about having no remorse. He at least owns up to it…in the show he act like it was a small mistake like stepping on someone’s shoe like “oh my bad” that seems worse in a way
Tell me you haven’t watched the fucking show without telling me you haven’t watched the show. A-Train actively remorses and feels bad about killing robin in the show in season 3 he apologizes to Hughie a 2nd time so idk wtf ur talking about
@@narwzy if I remember correct, the only reason A train apologized was because of caught demanding it, and his life being in danger. He never did it out of genuine guilt
@@narwzy he only felt remorse for what he did to robin after he had something similar happen to him when his brother was paralysed by that one racist supe. He absolutely did not feel remorse when he did it. We literally see him laughing about it to other supes.
The show seems more realistic, the writers did a good job in making the show credibile. Some situations in the comic can work only because on the comic.
@@ConspiracyCinema Because the show rewrote the comic..... All the comic is is just a basis for the show but the show has went in a different direction for the better
A train finally apologizing the Huey is what made the show for me. They did such a good job at making the viewer forget that was even one of the main motivations of Huey, then he gets the temp v and feels he finally has leverage to make a train understand only to realize a train alredy got tought that lesson before Huey could do anything.
the main difference between the comics and the show is, the comics sups are pricks without reason, and the show gives a more in depth reason to why they are that way
Well the comic wasn't that good for that reason tbh, every single hero just had to be bad with no feelings At least they made A-train a bit more..like a human 💀
Tbh even In the show, he’s horrid. Later on in the episode, he laughs it off and tells lies about the incident to get the heat off of him and even forgets or rather doesn’t care about hughie in the slightest. Then there was the incident with popclaw. Then he seemed to be getting more human but then there was what he made homelander do to supersonic. Then abuse the color of his skin to try to regain popularity. Then basically does nothing to blue hawk until BH paralysed his brother. Now we see him being human again though.
OK like in the show they use the off the sidewalk thing as a way to ride off a transliability for the death how the hell did vault spin this one in atrants favor in the comics
Tbh, I find it weird in the show that Robin's death isn't even brought up anymore. Even in S2 Hughie kinda works together with him exposing Stormfront. It's like they're just... stranger. Unlike Butcher and Homelander who are mortal enemies. I was expecting that was gonna be the same thing with Hughie and A Train. He's a big jerk too in the show. I get that perhaps he's moving on with Annie too, but no matter how Hugie and Robin relationship was, seeing someone you know well smashed into nothing but blood and guts is just horrifying to imagine. Like... their life just vanished right then and there.
Robin’s death affected Hughie mainly by making him feel too insignificant to protect the people he cares about. It’s why he took V-24, and why he’s trying to be more active in fighting Homelander despite Starlight explicitly not wanting him to do that. He tried to find a balance in Neuman, but then she was working for Vought, so-
@@theoguncleslappy9150 yeah meaning they never forgot robin. But I think I also got his point how in season 2 with annie it almost fell like robin was insignificant in hughie’s life. But it was still addressed how hughie gets visions of robin’s apparitions
@@DoomWarrior55 😭😭 and he actually felt guilt for a moment too in the recordings just for the other members of the seven to tell him to man up and chill because accidentally killing civilians is like collateral damage to them and vought.
Honestly if this shit happened IRL id like to believe id be more like Hughie than Butcher. Id just go after the one supe that did it unlike Butcher who went all school shooter.
That’s a huge misconception of the book that I think if you read it, you’ll understand why the show is as good as it is. Homelander in the show is one to one with the books, essentially the same character and when people say these characters don’t have depth that’s just wrong because the entire story is a culmination of butcher and hughies life post there supe trauma. A great example of this is the books involving beckys life with butcher, his reaction to what happened to her and the end of the entire story which is where hughie and butcher go head to head and end up with a story that is very heartfelt and one of the most memorable endings to a story you’ll ever read. The beginning may come off as really edgy but technically so does the show, but once you get deep into it, you love the characters as much as you do in the show.
Depending on your expectations. But sure if you want the best deconstruction of super heros read Watchman and if you are just interested in Gore read Crossed.
Ngl, the comic is funny in like the first few pages butcher is introduced, and the team gets a wholesome moment when they're arguing about pizza. As edgy as it may be, it's still a fun read.
This is why homelander stands out a lot less in the comics when literally every supe in the comic are Aholes. In the show it makes homelander stands out a lot more as the perfect psychopathic supe
I think we can all agree the show is better than the comics. They have way more character and personality in the show rather than their whole personality being "I'm a bad person just because"
The point of the comic is edginess for edginess sake written by a guy who tries too hard, imo. It doesn’t really add much to the story and makes it rigid and stale.
In the comics the writer made it a clear point to show how much he despises heroes, just making every one of them scummy in the worst way possible, leaving no room for humanity, and then had them all killed. In the show, the characters are a lot more fleshed out, and despite being hated, people can still root for them at times. Like when A-Train killed that one racist hero.

It’s WAYYY worse in the show, he doesn’t even have a good reason for killing her, he just wasn’t paying attention
imo i think comic worse he killed her then tell huey to move then says cant stop the a train
@@1saiahLett its still good but only made a train unlikeable
He was on Compound V, so it did link to the plot well
Being high isn’t a good reason for murder.
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 being high while moving at the speed of light is a pretty good reason. Like have you ever been high? Different experience.
Can’t stop the atrain😎
A-Train is my most hated character in The Boys Comic
and the show too
but yeah i hated a train comic more than the comic
hes a rapist sexist sociopathic deranged and depraved
He’s up there alright, they made proper bastards in that comic. As bad as it sounds I can almost agree with what butcher wanted to do at the end.
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus The supes in the comics were all cartoonish evil and unredeemable one note bad guys. There really wasn't much to any of them besides being an asshole or some brand of psycho. So there really isn't much need to justify wanting to kill them since Garth just wrote the whole series as a way for him to kill Superheroes for fun.
@@electricfeverx976 exactly the dude from what I'm told had a hate boner for super hero comics
@@electricfeverx976 Tech Knight wasn’t a villain he had a brain tumor, The G-Force (forgot which branch) they’re weren’t villains just some kids hanging out, and even one of them had development saying how he didn’t want to join one of the two G-men forces he was allowed to go to since it wasn’t him. Now, there is a lot of one notes in the books but most aren’t actually horrible people besides a few, just douches.
You could argue that in the TV show, alongside being high on compound V, A-train probably can't stop because he is doing shipments of the material to terrorists for Homelander, making him afraid that if he is caught or stops than Homelander will kill him.
Sophia Petrillo: I think you got yourself one helluva lawsuit, Hughie.
That's why I loved how he kicks A-trains head off
Spoiler
My problem is that there is no build up to that moment. Hugie and a train barley interact in the comics and butcher kidnapped a-train out of nowhere and goads Hugie to kill him.
>Overdoses on drugs
>Runs so fast and kills an innocent woman >tries to act remorseful
> Says "can't stop when running"
>Doesn't elaborate further
> Leaves
Having sympathy for the devil playing the background is perfect. It should have been the shows theme.
It played in the first episode of season 2 I’m pretty sure
They’re both the same A-Train in the show seems like he felt the same as the one in the comic his apology is fake his remorse his fake …The comic is at least up front and real about having no remorse. He at least owns up to it…in the show he act like it was a small mistake like stepping on someone’s shoe like “oh my bad” that seems worse in a way
Tell me you haven’t watched the fucking show without telling me you haven’t watched the show. A-Train actively remorses and feels bad about killing robin in the show in season 3 he apologizes to Hughie a 2nd time so idk wtf ur talking about
@@narwzy if I remember correct, the only reason A train apologized was because of caught demanding it, and his life being in danger. He never did it out of genuine guilt
@@narwzy he only felt remorse for what he did to robin after he had something similar happen to him when his brother was paralysed by that one racist supe. He absolutely did not feel remorse when he did it. We literally see him laughing about it to other supes.
@@narwzy seems like you’re the only one who hasn’t watched the show man
@@narwzy yeah… no.
In other words… the show has a little bit of subtlety, and the comic has a big red arrow with “he’s bad he isn’t good!”
Me when I see a happy couple:
Same
I do to run at 1200 meters per second when I see a happy couple
💀💀
Well, A-Train in the Comics is also a psychopath with very little sympathy
Comic getting that L as usual
If you are mentally sick and an absolute psychopath then maybe a W for some 🤔
@@cosmictr4shtv992 just like Garth
The show seems more realistic, the writers did a good job in making the show credibile.
Some situations in the comic can work only because on the comic.
How the fuck is the boys show version of a train a better person
Because the comics where dogshit compared to the show
Cause he actually was remorseful of his actions
@@alexlovelady8249 because you didn’t read them and just took other peoples words
@@tonydaza8504 I did read them actually, they’re dogshit
@@tonydaza8504 it’s just someone who wrote a comic and thought “hmmm, let’s just add some random dark moments and edgy parts, that’ll make it good”
CAN'T STOP THE A TRAIN BABYYY😎😎
The disrespect in the comics bro 💀💀💀
Yeah it’s just brainlets that get offended and make objective claims and they don’t eleborate.
The comics trully transcended the meaning of bad writing, jesus
Yeah
Honestly the only character remotely worth reading in the comics is Stillwell, dude had some good dialogue
And yet it’s the basis for your favorite show. Including some of the best lines from the show
@@ConspiracyCinema Because the show rewrote the comic..... All the comic is is just a basis for the show but the show has went in a different direction for the better
@@ConspiracyCinema ye which does absolutely nothing for it lol
A train finally apologizing the Huey is what made the show for me. They did such a good job at making the viewer forget that was even one of the main motivations of Huey, then he gets the temp v and feels he finally has leverage to make a train understand only to realize a train alredy got tought that lesson before Huey could do anything.
the main difference between the comics and the show is,
the comics sups are pricks without reason, and the show gives a more in depth reason to why they are that way
Reasons why humanity shouldn't have superpowers
Well the comic wasn't that good for that reason tbh, every single hero just had to be bad with no feelings
At least they made A-train a bit more..like a human 💀
Tbh even In the show, he’s horrid. Later on in the episode, he laughs it off and tells lies about the incident to get the heat off of him and even forgets or rather doesn’t care about hughie in the slightest.
Then there was the incident with popclaw. Then he seemed to be getting more human but then there was what he made homelander do to supersonic. Then abuse the color of his skin to try to regain popularity. Then basically does nothing to blue hawk until BH paralysed his brother. Now we see him being human again though.
Nah comics were good for that reason
@@barombolobombolo1501 yeah I know, then they had to go all political lmao.
MY GIRLFR-
Can stop the A-train😀
Compound V grindset bro can't stop
Who tf steps out into the street to kiss tho ??
A-Train, is that you?
It was one step off the sidewalk 💀
@@suna9555 still, who tf dose that lol like who says "let me step off the side walk and have a heart to heart". Lmfao
@@BlakPanthaa idk it was "in the moment" type of thing but cars don't drive that close to the sidewalk anyway so it should've been fine
Didn’t he stop to say he can’t stop
OK like in the show they use the off the sidewalk thing as a way to ride off a transliability for the death how the hell did vault spin this one in atrants favor in the comics
Tbh, I find it weird in the show that Robin's death isn't even brought up anymore. Even in S2 Hughie kinda works together with him exposing Stormfront. It's like they're just... stranger. Unlike Butcher and Homelander who are mortal enemies. I was expecting that was gonna be the same thing with Hughie and A Train. He's a big jerk too in the show.
I get that perhaps he's moving on with Annie too, but no matter how Hugie and Robin relationship was, seeing someone you know well smashed into nothing but blood and guts is just horrifying to imagine. Like... their life just vanished right then and there.
wdym bro they brought it up in herogasm which was like the 2nd half of season 3
Robin’s death affected Hughie mainly by making him feel too insignificant to protect the people he cares about. It’s why he took V-24, and why he’s trying to be more active in fighting Homelander despite Starlight explicitly not wanting him to do that. He tried to find a balance in Neuman, but then she was working for Vought, so-
Wdym bro he just punched A-Train despite A-Train being genuinely sorry for the first time in his life
@@yourdude4197 I mean I'd prob do the same☠
@@theoguncleslappy9150 yeah meaning they never forgot robin. But I think I also got his point how in season 2 with annie it almost fell like robin was insignificant in hughie’s life. But it was still addressed how hughie gets visions of robin’s apparitions
At least show atrain said sorry☠️☠️☠️☠️
Such a weak word specially after he ren right trough her
Well in the comics hughie kicks his head off shortly after
That’s only because he was feeling how it feels to have a supe hurt someone he loves 🤣 he was there looking for blue hawk
@@DoomWarrior55 😭😭 and he actually felt guilt for a moment too in the recordings just for the other members of the seven to tell him to man up and chill because accidentally killing civilians is like collateral damage to them and vought.
@@SlickSkuddy 😭😭😭
Honestly if this shit happened IRL id like to believe id be more like Hughie than Butcher. Id just go after the one supe that did it unlike Butcher who went all school shooter.
Stop lying you ain’t ever getting a girl
@@notkillian1283 guess ill have to settle for whatever your mother is then 🤷♂️
@@notkillian1283 ☹️
@@notkillian1283 lol
@analfabeticgramarnazi8648 when you put it like that 🤣🤣🤣
This is why I don't like the comic 💀. No depth to the supe characters, just fucked up for the sole reason of being emo and edgy lmao.
I could see the same writing if I were to give an edgy 13 year old a pen and a piece of paper
that was the whole point, the guy who wrote the comics hated superheroes
@@mjrough yeah but that's boring to me. I much prefer how the showrunners added depth to them, even fucking Homelander, the most vile of them all.
@@user-cockman125 exactly lmao. some shit I woulda written during my xxxtentacion fanboy, "my life sucks and I hate everyone" phase.
That’s a huge misconception of the book that I think if you read it, you’ll understand why the show is as good as it is. Homelander in the show is one to one with the books, essentially the same character and when people say these characters don’t have depth that’s just wrong because the entire story is a culmination of butcher and hughies life post there supe trauma. A great example of this is the books involving beckys life with butcher, his reaction to what happened to her and the end of the entire story which is where hughie and butcher go head to head and end up with a story that is very heartfelt and one of the most memorable endings to a story you’ll ever read. The beginning may come off as really edgy but technically so does the show, but once you get deep into it, you love the characters as much as you do in the show.
CANT STOP THE A-TRAIN BABY💯💯💯🥶🥶🥶
The comic, compared to the show, is quite bad. Suffer.
Depending on your expectations. But sure if you want the best deconstruction of super heros read Watchman and if you are just interested in Gore read Crossed.
The comic is absolutely shit and Im amazed they made such a amazing show from it
Ngl, the comic is funny in like the first few pages butcher is introduced, and the team gets a wholesome moment when they're arguing about pizza. As edgy as it may be, it's still a fun read.
The comic book was just too over the top for me when i was reading it 🤣😭💀
Can't stop the A-TRAIN.
CANT STOP THE A-TRAIN BABYYYYYY
This is why homelander stands out a lot less in the comics when literally every supe in the comic are Aholes. In the show it makes homelander stands out a lot more as the perfect psychopathic supe
CANT
STOP
THE A TRAAAIIIN
I think we can all agree the show is better than the comics. They have way more character and personality in the show rather than their whole personality being "I'm a bad person just because"
Dude the show is so much better than the comics like idk I like it more maybe it's basis like the comic story line but it has its ups and downs
i agree i feel like sometimes the comic tries way too hard to make these characters monsters and that’s saying something lol
The point of the comic is edginess for edginess sake written by a guy who tries too hard, imo. It doesn’t really add much to the story and makes it rigid and stale.
@@vodkice2416 I’m pretty sure the writer agrees with that assessment lol. Dude prefers the show in his words
Aint gonna lie, everything I’ve seen about The Boys comic is pure edge
Yep
The author apparently hated super heroes apart from a few so that explains why lol
Sympathy for the Devil is an amazing song.
Fun fact: A-Train is Japanese in the comics
CAN'T STOP THE A-TRAIN BABY
The comic is so edgy it cut my fingers flipping the page.
But it's not edgy, unlike the show
@@shiori00 bro the comic is edge incarnate
@@bruhmomentum8302 Have you actually read it?
@@shiori00 not the entire thing but yeah
And yes I know about the ending, which was kind of sad, but didn’t have any issue with it
In the comics the writer made it a clear point to show how much he despises heroes, just making every one of them scummy in the worst way possible, leaving no room for humanity, and then had them all killed. In the show, the characters are a lot more fleshed out, and despite being hated, people can still root for them at times. Like when A-Train killed that one racist hero.
Garth Ennis wanted zero things redeemable about the heroes it's brutal in one hand but it makes me prefer the show tbh
