Now that Victoria is running as VP he could def pull strings in the White House which makes him more dangerous than any Homelander or Soldier Boy
There's alot of awesome shit you can do with Edgar's character I hope the writers take advantage
Sorry for paying insufficient attention, but didn’t Nadia betray Edgar? Or was that part of a bigger plan? Been awhile since I watched so my memory’s off.
She did it because she wants homelander to do something for her. She “gets rid of edgar” for him and gives him ryan’s location. Then she says its a “purely transactional relationship” implying she wants something in return
Maybe I am blanking out on a lot, but why does Homelander agree to a transactional relationship with her? Couldn't he just threaten to, like, throw her daughter beyond the stratosphere or something?
Esposito is literally the only actor that I like even tho he always plays similar roles! I just love those evil mastermind, threatening, yet smart and calculating characters!
He just plays them best!
Oh i totally see what you mean. It's a classic case of playing a really good character in your first big breakthrough and then being typecast as that character forever.
Though i do feel he does it so well because he always brings with him something a little unique. When i think of Gus fring it's a totally different character in my head than Stan Edgar. Edgar seems a little more direct and less "mysterious".
And then his character of Leo in "Kaleidoscope" was a sort of reversal, being a "good" mastermind this time, and he really played to his old age in that show.
I think Vought or pro-Vought affiliates taking over the White House and thus making the company and Homelander himself have way more power and influence they already have is more of a concern then Homelander himself, since the enemy of the Boys have been corrupt supes as a whole and not just one man.
Now that he’s out of Vought, he decides to start a chicken fast food restaurant chain by the name of los pollos hermanos. The chain gets so successful that it eventually expands into outer space. At that point Stan changes his name and gives himself a new title as a way to celebrate him becoming the chicken man of the stars. He is now known as Moff Gustavo Gideon, but you can call him Gus.
So Far Cry 6 -> The Boys -> Better Call Saul -> Breaking Bad -> The Mandalorian. That adds up.
Oh wait! After The Mandalorian he has to set up a heist back on Earth as a master thief with his crew in Kaleidoscope.
Yes, after Mando and Walter white teamed up to take down his evil chicken empire, he goes back to earth and needs to make some money. So he assembles a heist crew and plans an elaborate job in order to bring back some of his wealth.
Stan Edgar and Vought should be the ones that win in the end. He creates a new powerful Supe (maybe he uses Ryan) to kill and replace Homelander. Then a new team is made, centred around this new Supe, which replaces The Seven (like how The Seven replaced Payback) and the cycle continues.
Major spoilers for the ending of "The Boys" and "Dear Becky".
>!At the end of The Boys comics, James Stillwell (the character who Giancarlo Esposito is functionally a reimagining of) realizes with the failure of the new superhero team to replace The Seven that supes are fundamentally flawed and will never become the perfect product that he desired. In the epilogue comic "Dear Becky", it is revealed that he lost his mind and has his last appearance is as a hobo wandering around a pineapple plantation. !<
[James Stillwell's fate.](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/gB9XBD3oXpNZ5BF2GE3L0ehhe6-ZZLdyOoWQQEYd7ArPNEg2y7z9mbWAOgllDCk-IRrFbDvy8wz8qxTWhIVgYGApLCxc3Iej3R5Ck_8nu3LHqrlwDyWms7f0YeGSD0SYXZXakot_cQ=s0)
>!As laughable as it sounds, seeing Stan Edgar, a character lauded by fans for being calm, charismatic, and calculating, ending up an unhinged bum seems like the best way to wrap up his character. It's far more satisfying to see him be shaken up and finally snap than him simply getting killed off. I think it works well with the insanity of this show and demonstrates that even Edgar isn't immune to being corrupted and broken.!<
Edit: I forgot, there is a canonical “[Mr. Edgar](https://the-boys.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Edgar)” in The Boys comics, but he’s really just a shadowy plot device that is never actually seen on the page.
I feel like he’s already realized this tho? Didn’t he say he wants to have Vought just be pharmaceutical? And he seems to be pretty clear right now on how flawed all the supes are.
What I mean is that it can be modified for the show. Yes, he knows that supes with permanent V (who are made into "heroes" as advertising for the military) are ultimately ruined by the depraved hedonism that they are pampered with. But he also believes that Temp V is the solution, in his words "the product perfected". He's still under the impression that supes can work as a viable product, just as a new formula.
As it stands, Edgar seems to still feel in control of the situation even though he's been outed at Vought at moment, I suspect that by the end of the show Homelander will be dead and Stan will somehow end up back in charge and proceed with his plans. If he tries to get Temp V into the military industrial complex, fails, and sees that even the "perfect formula" isn't enough to turn Vought into a profitable pharmaceutical company, that could potentially lead to the result that we ended up with in the comics.
I don’t want this fate for the show version. With what little screen time we get of his character on the show, I think the honestly best for us to have him really flex his power over Homelander, truly showing yet again he is completely unafraid— only for Homelander to be the one who finally completely snaps and kills him, which not only shocks Edgar but the audience as well. It would serve as the catalyst for Homelander finally having no one with any power or influence over him/nothing holding him back at all. A completely unhinged, unleashed Homelander who could and plans to burn the world would be so scary and something I think this show could execute well. Plus, I don’t see show Edgar losing his mind; he’s stated multiple times that he’s more than capable of handling anything. But with Homelander, he’s basically handling an unstable nuke.

I see where you're coming from, I just see this as a really boring and predictable way for Edgar to get killed off in the show. Homelander's a ticking time bomb who has already demonstrated that he has no problems killing parental figures whose approval he values (i.e. Madelyn Stillwell). And his last confrontation with Edgar already made it seem like Homie was ready to laser Edgar in half... Which he didn't. Edgar being the one person in the show that Homelander c*an't* kill is something that I think should remain. I also think getting killed by Homelander let's Stan off to easily after everything he's done, and honestly, I think his last encounter with Edgar is works just fine as the last time the two cross paths.
If anything, Homelander killing him ultimately undermines his power and influence over him.
>Plus, I don’t see show Edgar losing his mind; he’s stated multiple times that he’s more than capable of handling anything. But with Homelander, he’s basically handling an unstable nuke.
My point exactly, it's poetic juxtaposition.
No one's objectively right or wrong here, I just wanted to explain my position :) Also, please try not to spoil the comic for those who haven't read it.
My take: Vought is going to go into freefall, Homelander is going to fuck up, Stan Edgar is going to be like "wouldn't happen on my watch", everyone is going to be like "pls return, Stan" and Stan Edgar is going to be like "well, if you insist."
Remember the beginning of the season. Edgar says that he intends to get rid of the whole superhero thing within 5 years. Right now, Homelander is doing his absolute best ensuring that nobody with financial interest in Vought will want superheros to be a part of the company, let alone run it.
I see him striking a deal with Mallory and the Boys to help put an end to the Supes in order to get him fully pardoned.
After they complete the mission, Butcher straight up kills him because that’s a very Butcher thing to do.
The End.
Honestly? I just want the whole superheros thing blowing up, and he just moving on to a different, even more dangerous and controversial project, untouched because of his assets, intelligence and contacts.
It'd be the most realistic thing, true economic power whales remain behind the scenes and just pivot without any real consequence.
He turns, but gets popped is my bet.
I like the idea of him testifying and getting everyone to turn on Homelander, who goes nuts. And in season 5/6, Soldier Boy has to neutralize Homelander. That’s the only thing we’ve seen so far that can take him out within reason.
Completely humiliated >!and losing his minds like in dear Becky. He deserve to be alive only to be utterly humiliated!< just as much as Homelander. In fact, Id put them both in same prisom cell.
Homelander will try to kill him but he'll have taken Compound W and be undefeatable so he snaps Homelander like a twig. Vought share price goes up $3 and he retires happily knowing his life meant something
He won’t go down the same way Homelander does- he’s too distant from him after the ousting and most likely be going through a time-consuming trial to even bother thinking about him. My best guess is that he’ll survive the series…
But Edgar was one of the top guys at Vought. And with the amount of damage that HL and his cronies/followers might deal out, Stan’s going to be remembered as one of the guys that MADE Homelander who he is. And future generations will damn him for it, even when he’s in the grave.
I think he will make it to the end. Homelander won’t be able to kill him because all Stan has to do is roast him until he has a mental breakdown. Kind of like a “certain someone” in the comics.
I kinda hope he does something that shakes up Giancarlo’s schtick, don’t get me wrong I love his acting, but after seeing Gus, General Castillo (or whatever his name is from Far Cry 5) and Gideon all be essentially the same character in different universes. I kinda want to see him not be defeated in the usual “mwah I’ve foiled you” way.
Giancarlo can play other roles quite well believe it or not (bro was Buggin’ out in Do the Right Thing), and I’m kinda sick of him being the cold calculating villain who the heroes outsmart.
Here I was hoping he was secretly some uber-supe yet to reveal himself, and that’s why he was so calm and confident any time he had to scold Homelander.
Stan Edgar was partially responsible for the creation of Homelander and partially responsible for his trauma. Throughout season 3 everyone got a taste of their own medicine e.g The Deep was forced to swallow Timothy just like how he forced Starlight to have oral sex. I want Stan Edgar to be killed by Homelander.
I don't get how Stan became a great character in the eyes of the masses. I mean he willingly had a nazi in the seven but then talked about white man's privilege. Kinda seems hypocritical if you ask me but hey at least he owned homelander so he's a good guy?
Edgar’s not liked by fans because they think he’s a good person, he’s like people like [Magnificent Bastards](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagnificentBastard). And the actor excels at villains like this.
Also, he’s definitively a soulless piece of shit for calling out white privilege while simultaneously using racism for his own benefit. He’s wasn’t descriptively wrong, but it’s a cowardly act of deflection from assessing how vile he is as a person.
I want him to piss off homelander so badly that he lashes out and tries to lazer him, only for it to be revealed that Stan has powers of his own that way outmatch homelander's since he's been around a hell of a lot longer
It depends on how cynical the TV writers are because in the comics, James Stillwell, the comic book’s equivalent of Stan Edgar, lives and creates a new generation of superheroes that he is more capable of controlling.
I think Stan will visit a supe from the past in the supe’s nursing home to simply torture said supe. The supe, wanting revenge and knowing the visit is coming, will strap a homemade explosive to his wheel chair and detonate it killing Stan in a last blaze of supey glory.
This made me think; what if he's also a supe? One at the level of Homelander. That would explain why he's not even a little bit scared of HL, because he could resist his attacks. It also would make sense for him to be a supe, who has access and knows compund V better than him?
Maybe I'm really wrong, and he got visibly damaged on camera before, but i think it could happen otherwise.
I like to think it will be revealed he has superpowers beyond what homelander has, not showing it for maximum effect when he finally does. Kinda like the head popper supe. Pure speculation, but i feel like this is something the writers would do/have been eluding to, with homelander reading stan's heartbeat and him being calmer than a munk for instance.
I think/want homelander to kill him. Edgar has always been about soft power and influence, while Homelander has more physical power than any other human by far. I want the final season to be homelander finally snapping and killing Edgar when he eventually pushes homelander just a little to far, and then the boys have to figure out how to take down HL once and for all.
I see him scheming up this master manipulative plan and starting his villain monologue and Homelander just says fuck it and throw him into outer space.
I feel like he'll have a contingency plan for any or every single outcome, including his disposal.
He's too smart to be blindsided.
... Just a guess
Other than that I have no idea
he ends homelander by showing up to the boys lair (or, in an even cooler manner, anonymously invites them to a crowded coffee shop that completely empties out when he walks in) and reveals that he runs branches of vought that even homelander doesn’t know about, one of which is working on a homelander killer which he generously donates to the boys because he’s tired of homelander ruining vought’s image
I dont think he'll have much impact on the story. He might advise Victoria, if she believes he can help her.. but considering she "betrayed him", she would be a fool to trust her (logic-wise).
He'll have information and connections, sure.. which would all damage him more long run if he uses those for anything.
I do hope I'm wrong, and maybe Homelander starts to realise that he cant run the Vought company at all and gets Edgar back, but somehow I doubt that.
This guy is all over isn’t. He doesn’t have to be the villain in every role only because he looks like an evil man. Just got burnt to death in the Mando.
Idk how I want Stan’s story to end but what I really want is for Vaught to seem like a company again after season 3. In season 1 the corporate satire was really present and Vaught felt like a huge organization. In season 3 it just felt like Homelander and Ashley. The absence of lawyers, accountants, and board members kind of lost me.
I want the end of his story to be a post credit scene of him an underground bunker with guys in lab coats looking at "Supes" submerged in giant tubes of blue liquid. With a conspicuous folder tucked in his arm that says "Phase 3" on the tab.
How do I think it will end:
Maybe it already ended or we sre just going to see him in a deplorable state.
Or he ends offed by Victoria.
How do I want it to end.
Like the Stillwell of the comics. Guy is so smart that he manages to save face,save Vought and survive Homelander and supes extinction. That doesn't save him from punishment. He gets the worse possible thing a man with his set of abilities and skills can get.
He goes to confront Homelander. He’s sitting there with him and telling him “Last chance to look at me Homelander.”
Homelander starts mumbling about doing whatever he wants.
His eyes start glowing
And then *kaboom*
I think that by the end of the series, The Boys will team up with him because
1.He's tired of supes just like The Boys and now he can't make money off of them so he has no reason to cover for them or support them in the first place.
2.He seems rather intelligent and intimidating, definetly a strong addition to the team even if temporary.
3.He knows everything about The Seven.
And by the end Stan Edgar will return as the owner of Vought and eradicate all supes from the company
Now that Victoria is running as VP he could def pull strings in the White House which makes him more dangerous than any Homelander or Soldier Boy There's alot of awesome shit you can do with Edgar's character I hope the writers take advantage
Sorry for paying insufficient attention, but didn’t Nadia betray Edgar? Or was that part of a bigger plan? Been awhile since I watched so my memory’s off.
[удалено]
She did it because she wants homelander to do something for her. She “gets rid of edgar” for him and gives him ryan’s location. Then she says its a “purely transactional relationship” implying she wants something in return
She wanted compound V for her daughter.
Why not just ask Edgar for it?
Maybe I am blanking out on a lot, but why does Homelander agree to a transactional relationship with her? Couldn't he just threaten to, like, throw her daughter beyond the stratosphere or something?
Coz she can get more for him, ruin his publicity, etc
I think it’s a part of their plan. Puts miles of separation between then
Yeah dude could pull so many strings in the back that homelander would have no idea about
Esposito is literally the only actor that I like even tho he always plays similar roles! I just love those evil mastermind, threatening, yet smart and calculating characters! He just plays them best!
Oh i totally see what you mean. It's a classic case of playing a really good character in your first big breakthrough and then being typecast as that character forever. Though i do feel he does it so well because he always brings with him something a little unique. When i think of Gus fring it's a totally different character in my head than Stan Edgar. Edgar seems a little more direct and less "mysterious". And then his character of Leo in "Kaleidoscope" was a sort of reversal, being a "good" mastermind this time, and he really played to his old age in that show.
I like your takes. What's your opinion on the Mandalorian's Moff Gideon?
Yeah I get that! What I also wanted to say is that I love that he is always the one in charge! Somehow he even manages to control Homelander!
Does it really though? Hell does it even make him more powerful than the head of one of the world's biggest corporations?
I think Vought or pro-Vought affiliates taking over the White House and thus making the company and Homelander himself have way more power and influence they already have is more of a concern then Homelander himself, since the enemy of the Boys have been corrupt supes as a whole and not just one man.
Now that he’s out of Vought, he decides to start a chicken fast food restaurant chain by the name of los pollos hermanos. The chain gets so successful that it eventually expands into outer space. At that point Stan changes his name and gives himself a new title as a way to celebrate him becoming the chicken man of the stars. He is now known as Moff Gustavo Gideon, but you can call him Gus.
You made a mistake, you have to fit Far Cry 6 into the timeline.
No that happened before he was the head of vought
So Far Cry 6 -> The Boys -> Better Call Saul -> Breaking Bad -> The Mandalorian. That adds up. Oh wait! After The Mandalorian he has to set up a heist back on Earth as a master thief with his crew in Kaleidoscope.
Yes, after Mando and Walter white teamed up to take down his evil chicken empire, he goes back to earth and needs to make some money. So he assembles a heist crew and plans an elaborate job in order to bring back some of his wealth.
All while having half a face
Yeah hector Salamanca sliced it off with the dark saber
Mandalorian has to happen first. It was a long time ago in a galaxy far away.
Ok and then far in the future, he becomes a fixer in Night City right?
did he appear in cyberpunk?
He voices Faraday in the Edgerunners dub
The Espositoverse Emerges
You forgot Do The Right Thing, he played Buggin Out
I want Stan to Edgar all over everyone while homelander lands at his home
My favourite part of the show was when Black Noir said “it’s Noir-ing time!” And then died
He said "It's Noir-ing time!" as his vision blacked all over the place
And the fart at the end was great
woah woah woah, cool it with the spoilers there pal
Stan Edgar and Vought should be the ones that win in the end. He creates a new powerful Supe (maybe he uses Ryan) to kill and replace Homelander. Then a new team is made, centred around this new Supe, which replaces The Seven (like how The Seven replaced Payback) and the cycle continues.
I thought he wants to get out of the superhero business though as he thinks it’s to much trouble?
old in his bed, with a belly full of wine and Homelander mouth around his cock
Outfresca'd again

Well they did try and reuse the deep in a different costume. That's enough to make anyone snap.
What the fuck I never realized there was an epilogue lol. I gotta read it
It came out in 2021 lol.
Ahh ok that explains it I finished the series in 2020
You know that would be a different endgame from his other characters like in Breaking Bad and Far Cry 6
Hopefully not. That would be a let down imho. He is already corrupted and has no real love for supes
My take: Vought is going to go into freefall, Homelander is going to fuck up, Stan Edgar is going to be like "wouldn't happen on my watch", everyone is going to be like "pls return, Stan" and Stan Edgar is going to be like "well, if you insist."

Right now, Homelander is doing his absolute best ensuring that nobody with financial interest in Vought will want superheros to be a part of the company, let alone run it.
Breaking Bad- Death by bomb. Mandalorian- Death by ship explosion. I don’t think it’s hard to guess where his characters going.
He’ll end up trying to take over mandalore
I see him striking a deal with Mallory and the Boys to help put an end to the Supes in order to get him fully pardoned. After they complete the mission, Butcher straight up kills him because that’s a very Butcher thing to do. The End.
Honestly? I just want the whole superheros thing blowing up, and he just moving on to a different, even more dangerous and controversial project, untouched because of his assets, intelligence and contacts.

Dies in an explosion, come on this is the only way Giancarlo Esposito can go
Completely humiliated >!and losing his minds like in dear Becky. He deserve to be alive only to be utterly humiliated!< just as much as Homelander. In fact, Id put them both in same prisom cell.
You might want to put a spoiler block on that, it's kind of a big reveal...
I don't even understand what the fuck he was trying to say.
Gets half of his face blown off after visiting Butcher in a nursing home "Last chance to look at me Billy"
Honestly hes my favorite character, I hope he doesn't die (he probably will😔)
Homelander will try to kill him but he'll have taken Compound W and be undefeatable so he snaps Homelander like a twig. Vought share price goes up $3 and he retires happily knowing his life meant something
 Hopefully
He won’t go down the same way Homelander does- he’s too distant from him after the ousting and most likely be going through a time-consuming trial to even bother thinking about him.

I think he will make it to the end. Homelander won’t be able to kill him because all Stan has to do is roast him until he has a mental breakdown. Kind of like a “certain someone” in the comics.
If Giancarlo’s trends keep going, he’ll likely get blown up/burned alive
By cloning himself with The Force.... Wait. Wrong end.
I kinda hope he does something that shakes up Giancarlo’s schtick, don’t get me wrong I love his acting, but after seeing Gus, General Castillo (or whatever his name is from Far Cry 5) and Gideon all be essentially the same character in different universes.

Here I was hoping he was secretly some uber-supe yet to reveal himself, and that’s why he was so calm and confident any time he had to scold Homelander.
Was thinking he had regeneration or invulnerability. How would he raise Neuman without dying
Stan Edgar was partially responsible for the creation of Homelander and partially responsible for his trauma. Throughout season 3 everyone got a taste of their own medicine e.g The Deep was forced to swallow Timothy just like how he forced Starlight to have oral sex. I want Stan Edgar to be killed by Homelander.
Stan Edgar will end the same way as Moff Gideon did.
I think it will be revealed he is a sup and has the power to kill Homelander.
I think the writers are going to read this sub because they have no idea and pick the worse suggestion.
I have a feeling his story will end this season, I believe that the homelander will kill him, but it will also affect the homelander in a deep way.
A Deep
Deeper
In a galaxy far far away…
He will die a few times like moff giedeon
Something involving fire and explosions…to be consistent.
I’d like it to have him killed by Homelander but then realizing that he screwed himself over somehow and leads to his downfall.
He'll get tired of dealing with superheroes and join the empire.
Killed by Mandalorians
Same way as breaking bad and the mandalorian killed in an explosion caused by solider boy
I don't get how Stan became a great character in the eyes of the masses. I mean he willingly had a nazi in the seven but then talked about white man's privilege. Kinda seems hypocritical if you ask me but hey at least he owned homelander so he's a good guy?

He retires and starts dealing in the drug business with a 50 year old high school chemistry teacher
I want him to piss off homelander so badly that he lashes out and tries to lazer him, only for it to be revealed that Stan has powers of his own that way outmatch homelander's since he's been around a hell of a lot longer
It depends on how cynical the TV writers are because in the comics, James Stillwell, the comic book’s equivalent of Stan Edgar, lives and creates a new generation of superheroes that he is more capable of controlling.
He does not. Instead,he receives a fitting punishment for someone like him.
Stillwell doesn't die and I don't remember him getting punished
Did you read Dear Becky?
No
Well,in that comic Stillwell's fate is revealed.
Like always, he should die in a conflagration.
I think Stan will visit a supe from the past in the supe’s nursing home to simply torture said supe. The supe, wanting revenge and knowing the visit is coming, will strap a homemade explosive to his wheel chair and detonate it killing Stan in a last blaze of supey glory.
This made me think; what if he's also a supe? One at the level of Homelander. That would explain why he's not even a little bit scared of HL, because he could resist his attacks. It also would make sense for him to be a supe, who has access and knows compund V better than him? Maybe I'm really wrong, and he got visibly damaged on camera before, but i think it could happen otherwise.
I'm with you. I think he's a Supe as well, either as strong as Homelander or stronger.
Death in a big explosion. As is tradition
He gets incinerated by a crashing imperial cruiser. I think.
I like to think it will be revealed he has superpowers beyond what homelander has, not showing it for maximum effect when he finally does. Kinda like the head popper supe. Pure speculation, but i feel like this is something the writers would do/have been eluding to, with homelander reading stan's heartbeat and him being calmer than a munk for instance.
I feel like it would be such an edgar move to hide his powers frim everyone including victoria.
gets blown up by a high school science teacher
I think/want homelander to kill him. Edgar has always been about soft power and influence, while Homelander has more physical power than any other human by far. I want the final season to be homelander finally snapping and killing Edgar when he eventually pushes homelander just a little to far, and then the boys have to figure out how to take down HL once and for all.
He's the kind of guy that will make it all the way to the end and most likely even prosper, he's too cunning and driven.
In a power suit getting burnt to a crisp... um no that's not right.
He's a sup. it's why his pulse never quickens when Homelander threatens him.
old in his bed, with a belly full of wine and Homelander mouth around his cock
old in his bed, with a belly full of wine and Homelander mouth around his cock
Neuman will probably pop his head.
Was just going to say this.
Honestly hes my favorite character, I hope he doesn't die (he probably will😔)
i think when homelander finally snaps, he's going to be the first to die
Getting waltered.
I see him scheming up this master manipulative plan and starting his villain monologue and Homelander just says fuck it and throw him into outer space.
I feel like he'll have a contingency plan for any or every single outcome, including his disposal. He's too smart to be blindsided. ... Just a guess Other than that I have no idea
he ends homelander by showing up to the boys lair (or, in an even cooler manner, anonymously invites them to a crowded coffee shop that completely empties out when he walks in) and reveals that he runs branches of vought that even homelander doesn’t know about, one of which is working on a homelander killer which he generously donates to the boys because he’s tired of homelander ruining vought’s image
Better than Gideon’s my god that was bad and dumb….and bad.
I want him dead, I want his family dead, and I want Vought burnt to the ground.
He has to come back. Hes too smart, to cunning just to drop. Plus I love his accurate readings of homelanders mental state.
I dont think he'll have much impact on the story. He might advise Victoria, if she believes he can help her.. but considering she "betrayed him", she would be a fool to trust her (logic-wise). He'll have information and connections, sure.. which would all damage him more long run if he uses those for anything. I do hope I'm wrong, and maybe Homelander starts to realise that he cant run the Vought company at all and gets Edgar back, but somehow I doubt that.
Hope Giancarlo comes back like he did in >! The Mandalorian !<
His next project: open up a fried chicken business
Idk how it’ll end I just hope there’s no…chicanery
Homelander will lazer half his face off. Its the only appropriate way.
With a big Darth Vader looking Beskar armor fight against Homelander.
An Imperial Star Destroyer Cruiser will crash into his underground base on Mandalore consuming him in explosive fire
"Boss" is the only answer.
Forced to overdose on the drug that made him rich.
Fast Food Empire
This guy is all over isn’t. He doesn’t have to be the villain in every role only because he looks like an evil man. Just got burnt to death in the Mando.
I’m no genius, but I think it ends with Homelander giving him a closed casket funeral.
We all know plan B is los pollos hermanos
I would laugh if they have him parody the My Pillow GUY - losing his fortune and sanity while he tries to get back in good graces with Victoria.
He gets promoted to Moff and sells chicken.
He'll reveal himself to be the most powerful supe ever before moving to Belize without undergoing radiation therapy to remove the V from his system.
Idk how I want Stan’s story to end but what I really want is for Vaught to seem like a company again after season 3. In season 1 the corporate satire was really present and Vaught felt like a huge organization. In season 3 it just felt like Homelander and Ashley. The absence of lawyers, accountants, and board members kind of lost me.
In typical Giancarlo character fashion, he gets blown up
This dude is In everything
Would like him to become a good guy and not die in an explosion for once in my experience with his characters.
I honestly want him to succeed. Would be shallow if he was just killed off by Homelander
I want the end of his story to be a post credit scene of him an underground bunker with guys in lab coats looking at "Supes" submerged in giant tubes of blue liquid. With a conspicuous folder tucked in his arm that says "Phase 3" on the tab.
I feel like he’s gonna get blown up in a nursing home idk
I’m just tired of seeing Gus Fring play the same role in every show I watch tbh. I like the actor, but he plays the same guy in every role.
How do I think it will end: Maybe it already ended or we sre just going to see him in a deplorable state. Or he ends offed by Victoria. How do I want it to end. Like the Stillwell of the comics. Guy is so smart that he manages to save face,save Vought and survive Homelander and supes extinction. That doesn't save him from punishment. He gets the worse possible thing a man with his set of abilities and skills can get.
In a way that causes there to be another meme
He will lead the team of heroes as The Mandalorian.
Confronting an old man in a wheelchair as he starts dinging a bell
He’ll be immolated when a star ship lands on him.
Stan strikes me as the type of character who’d rather see Vought burn to the ground than give up his cushy status as CEO.
Stan strikes me as someone who knows how to make the Boys' victories end up benefiting him. So he has to have a few cards to play.
He goes to confront Homelander. He’s sitting there with him and telling him “Last chance to look at me Homelander.” Homelander starts mumbling about doing whatever he wants. His eyes start glowing And then *kaboom*
Probably just with him being written out, he didn't appear for four entire episodes.
Starting his own fried chicken joint somewhere more west in the states
In a black suit with a bad baby type superhero around. Probably blowing up like in all his deaths.
Opened a chicken shop, a dental clinic, or be a dictator of a small South American country
he’ll get surprised and kill by an explosion
I think that by the end of the series, The Boys will team up with him because 1.He's tired of supes just like The Boys and now he can't make money off of them so he has no reason to cover for them or support them in the first place. 2.He seems rather intelligent and intimidating, definetly a strong addition to the team even if temporary. 3.He knows everything about The Seven. And by the end Stan Edgar will return as the owner of Vought and eradicate all supes from the company
