I’m reserving my final judgement until the they get to the Jack From Jupiter chaser storyline, but so far I think the show is much better than the comic. Certainly less shallow, mean-spirited, bigoted, and pro-soldier.

Here are the panels (graphic content), obviously. To me, the panel cutting to Homelander's bare ass + the "Suck It!" language makes it feel more like a sex comedy than a depiction of sexual assault
Btw, I wonder if they’re gonna do the chaser story at all.
On the one hand, I don’t trust them to do a good job with the topic of chasers and trans sex work. But on the other hand, I feel like it would be cowardly to not address it at all, since it’s such a vile stain on the source material.
It is the best version of "The bones of this story are good..." that I've ever seen. I can think of maybe one and a half changes they've made from the comics that didn't result in an absolutely better story.

Yeah… um…
That is probably one of the LEAST horrible of the many many many horrible things about the comic.
