    I love the movie and can't understand why people think it's a travesty, especially because it seems to only be about the ending.

    If you think the movie was a travesty you should not like the comic IMO.

    Somehow it feels more like that comic than the Snyder movie. And with 2% of the budget.

    The comic was fine for the time. Of course, as a kid I much preferred X-Men, Spiderman, Batman, etc. so the comic didn't impact me as much when it came out. The movie was just bad though although feel free to disagree. The TV show was surprisingly great on the other hand.

    I finished last night I probably should have just binged it all the way through.

    Overall it was 8/10 coherrant if a bit overwrought storyline I don't think the Tulsa storyline really paid off and just felt added on to be woke, with that said The origin story of Hooded Justice was very compelling.

    I thought the Europa stuff was top notch and i like the redemption of OZY not sure about the ending and what that entails but it worked.

    I would really like to see a series about the actual Minutemen and all the stuff that happened, that could be a series that put the Boys to shame with some of the shenanigans but be a very gripping drama with all of the dynamics of that team.

    Anyway it's always great to watch something that lives up to the hype.
