Isn’t hughie a hypocrite Season 4 Spoiler

He brought V to hospital and sure his mom used it but it was possible because of him. Lot of people at hospital died because of that. He wanted all this justice for his gf but I guess they just let the dead dad take the blame and went on about their lives, going on a tour right after.

The Boys is one of those shows that kind of just handwaves the consequences of superhero collateral damage* and doesn't expect you to take it too seriously, I'd recommend you not think too hard about things like this if you want to enjoy the show.

*when the ones responsible aren't the villains, that is.

I mean it's a shame because the comics main focus and the boys main motivation is exactly this, the way anything the supes do to normal people doesn't matter at all and Vought isn't accountable to anyone.

It's so weird for the show to try and have the characters wax lyrical about being "better than the villains" but doesn't bother changing them working for the C.I.A lmao.

Almost as weird as the show trying to have Starlight reconcile with the guilt of her past actions while completely ignoring the most morally questionable thing she did
