I certainly did, that scene was gory af, I thought it was about it (I didn't read the comics)

Over the past few years, I've seen quick comics snippets online suggesting Allen will be a regular, and that scene still had me thinking "Woah, he's dead for sure!"

I mean, props to alien tech if they can patch up Allen's arm, which has been ripped off. That's gonna feel weird for a while. Let's not even mention the eye, OOF.

don't forget the gaping hole in his chest leaving his guts floating in the vacuum of space!

alien science ain't so bad.

Yeah, they might as well say that they're giving him some of Piccolo's cells.

I mean, if The Boys taught me anything, it’s that you can just say “fuck it” to the source material and somehow make something better out of it.

I guess, yeah. But naaah, no way they're killing-off Allen the Alien. He's too good of a character.

The main thing I'm impatient to see if the whole deal with the Great Thaedus seemingly being threatened into being the mole. Either that, or he's a red-herring and Telia (who I've JUST learned is voiced by Tatiana Maslany who was playing She-Hulk in the MCU) is the real mole.

This is why I love this show so much. You have J Jonah Jameson, She Hulk, Optimus Prime, and Seth Rogan all in the same show lol.

I did too

This show kills people all the time , it felt like we’d seen the end of him and his final narrative purpose was to introduce us to the council or whatever and that lady who I assumed was taking his place
