How I would write The Deep's death in The Boys series finale
(a certain character appears in this one 👀)
Starlight is laying defeated on the ground, her hand clenches onto her wounded stomach.
The Deep approaches her, an angry stride in his step
The Deep: your efforts to cancel me are never going to work bitch!!!
Starlight spits out a speck of blood. The Deep grabs her by the throat. A malicious smile forms on his face.
He is strangling Annie January by the throat, watching the life give away from her eyes as she struggles to breathe. This is his chance to put her in the fucking ground for all the misery and persecution she had caused him.
The Deep: I’m the lord of the seven seas…you are just a pathetic attention seeking whore with a victim complex! Imagine Homelander's face when I tell him that I killed the terrorist Starlight. I’ll become his VP ruling the country with him while Soldier Goy rolls around in his own semen! I’m half the man he ever was!
Annie lets out a choked laugh, not taking anything The Deep says seriously. The Deep looks at her with a frustrated yet dumbfounded expression.
Starlight: go to hell…you fish fucker! You never were…You will always be a pathetic joke living under Homelander's shadow, slobbering your dick in all kinds of places to get inside his tight whitey asshole…. you're only doing this because you are afraid of him.
A beat. The Deep takes this in terrified, he desperately tries to stick to his overly masculine facade. Annie can read right through him and the thought of that scares him.
The Deep: you are a woman you don't get to speak to me that way! I’ll show you what I can really do! I killed Noir!
Starlight: you think that makes you special…you screw over anybody and anything if it gives you the satisfaction you need! His blood will forever be on your hands….and every other sea creature you killed in Homelander's name!
The Deep: now yours will join them!
The Deep is about to kill Starlight when a sucker punch to the face sends him flying. He crashes into the wall as he tries to regain his composure.
He looks around in confusion, wondering what hit him.
The Deep: what the fuck?!
He looks on in the distance in shock.
We hear the clank of boots as a mysterious figure approaches him. The camera pans up to reveal a familiar maroon and silver armour. There are gauntlets mounted to her wrists.
The figure’s face steps into the light.
It's Queen fucking Maeve!!!
She has a silver eye patch on her right eye and her hair has been cut into a red short bun. We can tell that she has changed a lot since settling down.
The Deep gets up. He can't believe the sight before him.
The Deep: Maeve…holy shit you're alive?!!!
Queen Maeve: You still haven't cleaned up your act I see!
The Deep: Oh I’m just fine…no thanks to you!
The Deep spits out a broken tooth. This is the first time we have actually seen him wounded.
Annie has a shit eating grin on her face watching this happen. Queen Maeve helps her up.
Queen Maeve: you know I’d put anything on the line for you…that's what heroes do…
Annie and Queen Maeve give each other a quick embrace like good friends you haven't seen each other for awhile.
Annie can't help but smile seeing her again.
Starlight: So how's things? How's Elena?
Queen Maeve: she's doing great! We run an animal sanctuary now for neglected farm animals. One of our pot bellied pigs gave birth!
Maeve takes out her phone and shows Annie a picture of a Vietnamese pot bellied pig and its newborn piglets.
Queen Maeve: her name's Margot, she's a demure kind of girl
Starlight: awww she has a resting bitch face
Queen Maeve: it's her go to poker face for selfies…she claims to hate the attention but she loves it!
Starlight: Did you get the V back?
Queen Maeve: I kept a secret stash in my bedroom drawer…in case of precautions like this if you ever needed me. I couldn't just sit by watching pigs give birth knowing the world was ending…Elena insisted that I should be here…
Starlight: give her my kind regards! When all of this is done…we should catch up over a drink…right now it's just so hectic…
Queen Maeve: Sounds good to me. I’ll pay the tip!
The Deep watches this conversation unfold as he grows more impatient and angry.
The Deep: hey bitches!!! Right now isn't a good time for fucking chit chat!!!
Starlight and Maeve look towards them, their demeanor immediately changes. They both look at each other, a playful scowl on each of their faces.
Queen Maeve: you wanna handle this guy?!
Starlight: let's kick his ass together! What's that slogan Vought would always display…
Queen Maeve: girls get it fucking done!!!
At that note, the two girls charge at The Deep. The Deep yells at them as he tries to punch them but he keeps missing. Queen Maeve punches him in the gut and Starlight kicks him in the balls as The Deep grunts in agonising pain.
Starlight looks up at the ceiling of the white house and sees dimming lights.
She begins to channel her power. Her eyes turn yellow as she begins to absorb all of the light in the room. Maeve and the Deep are caught in an intense scuffle.
Starlight begins to levitate into the sky. The room goes bright. The Deep and Maeve turn to see this spectacle.
Starlight begins to shoot out a spark of light as Maeve drags The Deep towards it like a human shield.
It hits him right in the face as The Deep falls to his knees. He looks up. His face is burnt. He can't see anything. The Deep has been blinded.
The Deep: did you just fucking blind me?!!! I can't see shit!!!
Starlight: it's what you fucking deserve…cunt!
Starlight uses her powers to blast The Deep onto the floor. Starlight and Maeve begin to surround him.
The Deep waves his hands into the air like a wounded animal, begging for his life.
The Deep: please…please stop….
Starlight kicks him in the face, breaking his jaw. The Deep puts a hand to his mouth, blood drops from it.
Silence as Starlight scowls at him. Then Starlight and Maeve begin to repeatedly kick him in the chest as they curb stop him to the ground.
The Deep screams in pain as Starlight and Maeve kick and beat him to near death.
Starlight: eat sand motherfucker!!!!
Queen Maeve: fuck you fish fucker!!!!
Starlight: rot in fucking hell you bastard!!!!!
Queen Maeve: fuck you!!!!!!!!
The Deep screams in pain with each lashing. He is bloodied, he can't see anything. His jaw is bent at an abnormal angle.
He looks up at Starlight with a horrified expression on his face, pleading for his life. He messed with the wrong girl.
The Deep: ple…ple..a..see..
Starlight tears his suit open to reveal The Deep’s exposed chest.
Starlight: let's see how you survive without your gills!
Starlight takes her hands and begins to rip at The Deep’s gills. She takes them and rips them completely off his chest, flaying the skin completely off until the flesh is visible.
The Deep begins to choke as he is unable to breathe. No air is coming out of his lungs as his hands scratch at his throat.
He is blind and can barely see anything. His chest is mutilated without his gills. He is bleeding out profusely. Annie and Maeve look down at him with searing hatred but also pity.
The Deep: my….gills….are gone….I’m…nothing…
He suffocates on his own blood as his head drops low. His body goes cold. The Deep is dead.
Maeve looks over at Annie. Annie looks down at the torn gills in her hands, she crushes them and lets them fall to the floor.
Starlight: That's the best thing I’ve ever done…
Maeve gives Annie a pat on the back as the two begin to walk away.
We pan in on The Deep's bloodied corpse, pathetic and useless as we-
