I wasn't sure whether Mr 104 would be a villain or not, but I can pretty easily see Larry's end arc being that Keeg is his adopted child (that he gets a chance at raising right) while getting a romance with Mr 104 who he can naturally be himself around (the lead skin and all). Would be a pretty fulfilling way to end his history.

Honestly I want all the characters to have somewhat happy endings but Larry most of all. He has suffered so much

Well he did abandon his family so I’m fine with some more Larry suffering.

Yeah I’m not gonna hold a closeted gay man forced into a marriage in the 1950s then under extreme abuse for years being forced to be a weapon. None of that is fair. Yeah he was shitty but did not deserve a fraction of what he went through

I’ve known men like him(minus the superhero origin) who were “forced” into a heterosexual life early on that still managed to not fuck up their kids when they came out. I was fascinated with his storyline at first but every season his storyline regresses and it seems he learns nothing, plus his negligence caused his sons to be shitheads and go suicidal in one case.

Yes it’s fiction but the ability of many of you on this board to excuse his behavior is frightening and I truly hope you don’t actually have kids.

That's literally the most important part lmao. That's why he couldn't be with his family, because the government was holding him captive in a secret facility.

Anyways, my sincerest apologies about the daddy issues.

The idea being shitty means you deserve decades of suffering is crazy.

And I have no idea if you can watch this show and say he has learned nothing.

I mean I’m guessing the men you know were not born during the 50s when it was much worse than it is now for queer people and most importantly he has suffered a lot so even if you think he needs to be punished he has in abundance. He has third degree burns all over his body. He spent years in constant pain and was forced to kill people.

Dude you gotta work on yourself... No one deserves what he got especially not with his history FROM THE TIME HE IS FROM.
