I mean, it's fiction. It sounds extremely warped but it's Garth Ennis.

Yeah, but even Ennis had standards and didn't go too far with his runs on Crossed. The only reason that the comics got their infamy for the gore/r*pe was thanks to David Lapham run on Crossed: Family Values, which led to other writers using the comic series for shock value.

What did I suggest that sounded worse or darker? Connecting it to the themes plus the universe(s) of Preacher and The Boys, as if it's a Congo line of worst case scenarios?
 
... honestly, I've just given up caring for The Boys/Gen V after how bad Season 4 was (the political stuff being more "in your face", the filler, the double standards of them treating male rape victims as dark comedy etc...), so I'm not gonna bother with the rest of the stuff they're doing.
 
Season 3's finale was honestly when the cracks in the writing started showing after Queen Maeve SOMEHOW managed to survive being blasted by Soldier Boy out of the Vought Tower despite being depowered, all because Kripke wanted to avert the whole "Bury Your Gays" trope.

She's one of the stronger supes and had more Compound V in her blood, so it took longer for it to be fully burned out of her system. She didn't fully lose her powers until after surviving the explosion and fall

I have no idea what "The Black Saturday of 2014" was but it sounds like yet another vile atrocity that Vought covered up.


Edit: Oh… I just got the reference.
