Description: The Boys VS The Walking Dead! Billy Butcher takes own Negan in a no-holds-barred fight to the death! Will Negan finally end Billy Butcher’s life? Or will Negan just be another name added to those Billy’s killed?
INTRODUCTION[]
(Music: Wiz & Boomstick- Brandon Yates)
Wiz: Billy Butcher; the diabolical leader of the Boys who’s out to kill every Supe on the face of the planet.
Boomstick: Negan; the leader of The Saviors and violent survivalist against the Walking Dead.
Wiz: Pain affects us all differently. Especially when we lose someone close to us. But when these two lost the most important women in their life, it drove them mad with a bloodlust to just keep killing everything in their sights.
Boomstick: But today, only one of these two violent leaders is gonna be making it out alive! He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skill to find out who would win a Death Battle!
BILLY BUTCHER[]
Wiz: In a world where costume heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone’s got to make sure the “Supes” don’t get out of line. And someone will. That’s when you call in The Boys; a CIA-backed team of killers to violently beat or kill any Supe that does something wrong. Lead by the most violent man on Earth; William Butcher.
Boomstick: But you can call him Billy.
(HUGHIE: You're a fed? You don't sound like a fed. BILLY BUTCHER: What, I can't immigrate? There's a giant green slapper with her ass in the harbor that says different.)
Wiz: Born to Samuel and Carol Butcher, Billy’s upbringing was pretty rough to say the least. His father was a violent psychopathic who mercilessly beat Billy’s mother on a regular basis. Eventually, those same violent tendencies were passed down to Butcher who eventually got kicked out of school. One night, Billy planned to kill his father, but his younger brother Lenny was able to stop him. Realizing his destructive nature would only hurt his family the longer he stayed, Butcher left and joined the military at the age of 17, participating in the Falkland Wars.
Boomstick: Butcher returned from the war, having helped Britain achieve its victory over Argentina. But it turns out that violent nature was only worsened. Now that Billy had actually killed people, he had even more aggression which he took out on fellow bar patrons. It seemed like there was no end in sight for Billy’s violent rampage. Until he met Becky Saunders.
Wiz: Something about this kind social worker made Butcher stop and take a look at things from a new light. He drank less, didn’t pick fights with people, and with Becky’s help, Billy was finally able to get his mom away from his abusive father.
Boomstick: Feeling fucking great about life, Butcher and Becca were wed and lived happily ever after. Until his younger brother died in a car accident, and his wife was raped by Black Noir disguised as Homelander, and the premature birth of a half-supe baby killed Becca.
Wiz: Devastated and angry, Butcher was recruited by Greg Mallory. Mallory was a CIA Agent who lost men due to Vought-America; the company that created the Supes in the first place. Mallory promised Butcher that if he joined Mallory’s Team, Butcher would get Homelander’s head on a plate. Believing Homelander and every Supe to be scum, Butcher accepted.
Boomstick: And he’s no slouch when it comes to fighting! He’s strong enough to gouge a human’s eyes out or rip a supe’s nose off with his mouth!
Wiz: All this would not be possible without the aid of the formula known as Compound-V; the same injection that created the supes Butcher hated. Now, it should be noted that this version of Compound-V does not give you permeant powers; it’s just a temporary boost.
Boomstick: Yeah, turns out a formula that costs over nineteen billion dollars for one injection isn’t good spending, especially with the way the government spends money currently. So Mallory had a special temporary injection made just for this little group. Still, that injection is no joke. It allowed Butcher to fight against Stormfront; a goddamn Nazi Thor!
Wiz: Of note, in The Boys Comics, Stormfront was apparently responsible for destroying the levees during Hurricane Katrina. Assuming that Stormfront casually punched the levees to destroy it, that would mean that Stormfront could punch with a force of 12444202.425857 Newtons! Or 2797567.9951 pounds!
Boomstick: And Butcher just kicked and broke those Nazi nuts! Still, Butcher’s a fighter and prefers his old-fashioned tools like his trusty crowbar, or some of the many weapons he’s acquired over the years.
Wiz: However, Butcher’s Compound-V is his saving grace. Not only has it increased his strength, but his speed and durability as well. He withstood another electrical Supe attempting to burn his face with lightning, a beating from Captain America knock-off Soldier Boy’s shield, and even a grenade going off in his hand.
Boomstick: JESEUS FUCKING CHRIST! How is this guy not dead?! What British Rat-Bastard Devil did he sell his soul to in order to get this tough?! And where can I sign up?!
Wiz: His speed even allowed him to dodge Stormfront’s lightning blasts! Assuming they move like real lightning, this means that Butcher would have to be moving over 186,000 miles per second! He also dodged Homelander’s heat-vision which is often compared to laser vision and put Butcher’s reaction and moving speed over 201,202,991,946 meters per-second.
Boomstick: But Butcher’s greatest muscle is that diabolical brain of his. With his CIA-Resources, he’s got dirt on the over 200,000 Supes in the world as well as everybody he’s worked with. He’s also got one of the highest body-counts for Superhuman deaths under his belt in comics history! And eventually after Mallory disbanded The Boys, Buther got The Boys back in town alongside their latest recruit; Simon Peg- I mean Hughie Campbell!
Wiz: After running as mutch interference and learning about Homelander’s plan to take over America, Butcher leaked the many years of blackmail out and marched on Washington to take down Homelander himself. Once there, Butcher and Homelander discovered that Black Noir had been responsible. These three forces clashed with Butcher emerging victorious and finally killing the monster who took his wife while Homelander and Black Noir remained dead.
Boomstick: Well, good on you, Butcher. You rid the world of two giant assholes! I guess you don’t need powers to kick all sorts of ass.
Wiz: Not exactly, Butcher may have a slight edge with Compound-V, but he’s still human and can be put down just as easily. Also, he can easily be angered into a bloodlust where he lets out all his pent-up aggression and won’t think things through. But the biggest problem is the one Butcher’s admitted himself; he has his father’s evil in him.
Boomstick: Yeah, turns out that despite killing both Homelander and Black Noir, Butcher wasn’t satisfied. At least not until he took out every other Supe on the planet; himself and The Boys included.
Wiz: Despite the bonds they’d forged, Butcher quickly eliminated those who he had worked alongside until only Hughie was the last man standing who could stop Butcher. In a final confrontation, Butcher was paralyzed from the neck down and admitted to Hughie the reason he’d recruited the young Scotsman; so that Hughie could serve the role that Lenny Butcher filled when he was alive to keep Butcher restrained and then to finally be the one to put Butcher down permanently. Butcher laid there and died peacefully, knowing he’d left Hughie with enough to restart his life and have a better one without The Boys involved.
Boomstick: Aw, I love a happy ending. But regardless, Billy Butcher is one of the most psychotic warriors in comics history! So if you get into trouble and he shows up on your doorstep, you’d better make sure your body’s ready for the most savage beatdown of your entire life!
(BILLY BUTCHER: Pardon my French, fuck those fuckers.)
NEGAN[]
Boomstick: He wears a leather jacket, he has Lucille, and his nut sack is made of steel. His name… is Negan.
([Negan steps out of an RV, Lucille in hand as he grins.] NEGAN: We pissin’ our pants yet? Boy, do I have a feeling we’re getting close. Yep. Gonna be pee-pee pants city here real soon.)
Wiz: Before the zombie apocalypse, Negan Smith was a P.E. Teacher and an expert ping-pong player. He’d often invite kids to his house and defeat them in a couple rounds while insulting them. However, this was only done by Negan to show that he wasn’t a lame teacher. That he could actually be the down-to-earth teacher they could relate to and confide in.
Boomstick: Sounds more like the beginning to a school drama. But this is a zombie book, so Negan’s wife got cancer and was dying as the zombie apocalypse began. After seeing his beloved wife come back as a walker, Negan left her alone as he tried to survive with other groups of people. Problem was… he kept losing more and more people. Until he met a man named Dwight and his little band of survivors.
Wiz: Despite being sick of loosing people he got close to; Negan eventually warmed up to the idea of staying with this rag-tag group of individuals. In turn, this group of survivors… survived. With Negan leading them, they became a force to be reckoned with against the dead.
Boomstick: It wasn’t long before Negan recruited even more people to their group. Problem was… one of them was a pimp, and Negan did not take kindly to it.
(Images are shown of Negan beating the pimp’s head in with his baseball bat before smashing his head in as one of the eyeballs goes flying).
Wiz: It was then that Negan had an epiphany. First, he took the bat he’d looted from the first dead survivor group he’d met and wrapped it in barbed wire, crafting the infamous weapon named after his deceased wife; Lucille. Next, Negan shared his newfound view on the world. Mainly, that he hadn’t felt anything since he began the struggle to survive in the world now overrun by the dead. Because of Lucille; she’d kept him safe when she was alive and Negan surmised that it was time he used the strength of his wife to protect others. Thus was born the group known as The Saviors.
Boomstick: Basically, you pulled your fair share of weight or Negan killed you. Now, that sounds like a pretty shitty deal, but Negan is not one to be crossed. Obviously, Lucille is his most famous weapon. But Negan also learned how to use bowie knives, axes, machine guns, and even rocket launchers. Ah, sounds like my own personal Disneyland.
Wiz: Negan is able to survive and escape 14 walkers ganging up on him at once, splattered one walker’s head in, and once moved Lucille fast enough to intercept a bullet fired directly at him. Considering most bullets travel at a maximum of 1400 Meters Per-Feet, that means Negan must have moved around 426.72 Meters Per-Second!
Boomstick: But of course, Negan’s greatest skill was breaking everybody’s hearts when he killed Glenn with only five strikes from Lucille to the noggin. Making his initial striking force at 520 Pounds of force and growing with each blow to the head. Enough to make poor Glenn look like my heart after my latest divorce.
Wiz: Child’s play, Boomstick! Negan once gutted a man before his victim even realized it. Considering most humans feel pain after 5-10 seconds, that means Negan can gut someone just as quickly. Putting his stabbing speed at around 5,000,000 microseconds! If that weren’t bad enough, Negan can also outrun a Shiva the Tiger for a while on just his feet.
Boomstick: And Shiva can move over 40 MPH! Goddamn. Even if you do manage to wound him, Negan has survived a whole bunch of shit. Like falling into barbed wire, getting his throat slit, and taking several hits from Rick Grimes! The guy who along with three of his fellow survivors, managed to push a car downhill!
Wiz: Now, the model of the car is never specified, but most cars nowadays usually weigh up to 4,100 pounds. Assuming Rick was giving his fair share of strength, this means that Rick’s strength would be equal to 1,366.666666666667 pounds!
Boomstick: And Negan straight-up whooped his ass. But eventually, Rick managed to get the better of him.
Wiz: Right, Negan might have been tactical and not a complete buffoon, and he certainly has strength in numbers thanks to the Saviors, but he was eventually outsmarted by Rick and the gang. Imprisoned, Negan took a long hard look back and realized he might have looked at life in the wrong way.
Boomstick: Eventually, Negan became a willing prisoner and advisor to Rick before he was freed by the mysterious group called the Whisperers. Okay, who is coming up with the naming for these groups, because it sounds like they’re really scraping the bottle of the barrel for creativity.
Wiz: Eventually, while trying to betray the Whisperers, Lucille finally broke. And so did Negan. He was rejected by the Saviors, forced out into the open by Rick, and was even spared by Maggie; the widow to the man Negan had killed in his debut. Eventually, Negan decided it was time to go back and end his wife’s existence as a walker. Thus, years later; Negan lived as a hermit spoken only of in legend. With nobody having seen him in years. While Rick’s son Carl would occasionally drop off supplies, Negan never showed his face. But perhaps, in the end, Negan found what seemed impossible in a world of Walkers, Survivors, and Whisperers… Peace.
Boomstick: Aw, I love a happy ending. Still, Negan is one of the scariest mother f’ers to grace comics. And if you don’t comply, you’re definitely in for a world of pain because Lucille will be thirsty. And she is a vampire bat!
(OLIVIA: We’re running really low on everything. We’re practically starving her. NEGAN [Sarcastically]: Starving? You? By “practically” you mean “not really.” [Olivia cries and turns around. Negan turns around, chuckling and shaking his head.] NEGAN [Chuckling]: Really?)
DEATH BATTLE![]
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let’s end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It’s time for a DEATH BATTTTLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
PRE-FIGHT[]
We zoom in on The Sanctuary; AKA the home of The Saviors. We fade-in to the building to discover Negan sleeping on a couch. There is a knock at the door, causing Negan to wake up with a loud gasp. The knock happens again. Negan notices Lucille nearby and grabs his trusty weapon. He approaches the door as we hear one more knock.
NEGAN (Angirly): WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS-
Negan stops as he sees no one is there. He then hears a panting. Looking down, Negan is confronted by a bulldog looking up at him with a goofy smile and panting his long tongue. Negan chuckles and puts Lucille down and holds the bulldog up.
NEGAN: Well, hey there little fella. Where the fuck did you come from and what the fuck was up with that knocking?
There is then the sound of running water which confuses the leader of The Saviors. Negan looks down to see the dog has urinated over Negan’s pants and boots. Negan looks mortified and then angrily at the dog who continues to pant with his dopey grin and his tongue hanging out. Negan throws the bulldog to the ground who gives a small yipe before grabbing Lucille.
NEGAN (Angirly): SHIT!!! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCKING SHIT?!
(Music: Butchers and Saviors by Therewolf Media)
Negan brings Lucille down only for it to be caught by a hand. The camera pans over to reveal Billy Butcher holding Lucille there and looking at Negan not too pleased.
BILLY BUTCHER: Hurt one hair on his head, you c**t. See what happens.
Butcher then grabs Negan’s neck and pushes him back into the room, throwing Negan on the couch and pulling up a chair.
BILLY BUTCHER: Negan Smith. Former P.E. Teacher who became one of the leading twats against those undead lots. At least until the Wanker Wonder Division of Supes helped you lot put down the dead. I thought you’d be a busy man helping the Supes and other survivors.
NEGAN: I ain’t got fucking time for your fucking bullshit, Limey. Now either get out, or I’m going to make some calls to some friends of mine to-
BILLY BUTCHER: Where do you keep the dead kids’ blood then?
Negan looks slightly concerned but tries to pass it off and cover his emotions.
NEGAN (Dismissive): I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
BILLY BUTCHER (Grinning): ‘Course you do. Dead kids’ blood. Y’know from cancer, Lyme Disease, and Anemia. I know that stretchy bastard Reacher Dick drinks that stuff recreationally with his alcohol. For being such a rubbery fuck, it’s the only way he can expand his muscles down below.
Negan looks at Butcher surprised. Butcher just smiles continuing on.
BUTCHER: “Oh, fuck. He knows. How the fuck does he know?” Well, I know a lot of things, prick. I know you’ve been slipping acid to them two Muppets; A-Train and Jack from Jupiter. I know you’ve been shaving the hairs from under your girls to give to that blow-up-slag The Deep so he can put them in his weed when he wants to light one up. Oh, and that fuckin’ pickle tickler Homelander? You gave him a bunch of those bodies to apparently “take care of” so the former family and friends don’t have to have the trauma of killing the people they once knew. But do you know what he REALLY gets up to?
We cut to the Homelander as The Leader of The Seven gives an unhinged look. He’s clearly doing something, but we can’t see what it is.
HOMELANDER: I can do… whatever I want. I can do… whatever I want. I can do… whatever I want.
Suddenly, the Homelander’s eyes glow red.
HOMELANDER: I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT!!!
We then cut to a shot from behind Vought’s most profitable hero, revealing that Homelander is having intercourse with one of the Walkers he’s gathered. The others have been restrained or various pieces are lying about covered in a combination of blood and other substances.
HOMELANDER: I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I… WANT!!!!
We then cut back to Butcher eying Negan seriously.
BILLY BUTCHER: Suffice it to say, Mr. Negan, I know all about your deals that you made with Vought and The Seven. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Fuckin’ diabolical.
NEGAN (Bluntly): What the fuck do you want?! You a fuckin’ super-spy looking for some fuckin’ blackmail? Is that it?
BILLY BUTCHER (Laughs): Not quite, mate. You were close though. But no. I’m not here for blackmail. I’m here for a message; you an' your little band of wankers are going to cut this shite out. Right fuckin’ now. Tell The Seven an' Vought to do what they do best and fuck themselves right in their assholes.
Negan grips his hands into a tight fist.
NEGAN: Or else what, Brit?
Billy and Negan eye each other intensely. Finally, the two leap to their feet and grab their respective weapons. Billy grins in anticipation of what’s to come.
BILLY BUTCHER: Or this is gonna hurt.
FIGHT![]
Negan and Butcher scream and swing their weapons, locking hard against each other. The two men grunt, trying to push the other back to no avail. They get in close so that way they're both locked eye-to-eye.
NEGAN: You ain’t gonna be breakin my beautiful girl here, you fucking fuckety prick! This is Lucille. And she is a-fuckin-mazing!
BILLY BUTCHER: Like I give a shit.
The two pull their weapons away and swing repeatedly, each time striking the other and not being able to break through. Eventually, Negan makes it seem like he is going for a high strike but as Butcher tries to parry it, Negan goes under and strikes Butcher in the knee. The leader of The Boys falls in pain as Negan chuckles rubbing the barbed wire roughly against Butcher’s neck as he leans in.
NEGAN: Feels good.
Negan then kicks Butcher back with a hard boot to the face.
NEGAN (Smirking): Sounds good.
Butcher spins around revealing he has a hold of a rifle which he fires only to have Lucille block it.
NEGAN (Angry): SHIT! WHAT THE SHIT?!
Negan goes lunging in, repeatedly smashing Billy’s face. However, the leader of The Boys (while extremely bloodied,) is not crushed by the strength of the Savior’s Leader, much to Negan’s shock.
NEGAN: What the fuck!? Usually that ends with your head looking like a teenage girl’s first period!
BILLY BUTCHER (Smiling): You’re not the only one with resources, mate. Compound V. Amazing what the American Government will do with just nineteen billion dollars. Then again, they’ll always print more. Got plenty to spare unlike you.
Billy pulls out a hand gun and shoots Negan’s kneecaps out. Negan drops to the floor in pain.
NEGAN: FUCK!
BILLY BUTCHER: Exactly.
Butcher gets back to his feet and begins swinging at the back of Negan’s legs. Negan screams in agony as Butcher goes to town on the back of his kneecaps. However, Negan manages to spot a nearby flashbang grenade. He manages to pull out his Desert Eagle and shoot the flashbang, quickly covering his eyes. Butcher is caught off-guard and is temporarily blinded. When the light fades, Negan is gone. However, Butcher is quick to notice a trail of blood leading out of the room.
We cut to a lower level as Negan is quickly trying to bandage his kneecaps with some spare fabric lying about. The area is dark and has a few pipes running along the walls that can barely be made out. He’s clearly wounded, but he’s trying to pull himself through. That’s when he hears the footsteps of Butcher approaching.
BILLY BUTCHER: One of the few things I like about this country; these old factories. Reminds me of when I worked in construction. I got into that because of my childhood. When I was a kid, what me an’ me mates loved more’n anything else in the world was playin’ on building sites. You could hide down in the foundations, you could climb up the walls, you could play in the pilesa sand…
Negan then notices a nearby gas line. Working quickly, he smashes Lucille against it until it pops out. Negan readjusts it so that there is a leak, but not noticeable given the pipe is covered in shadows. He also makes sure to bash a nearby steam pipe which causes steam to spew out an cover the hissing of the gas, while also creating a mist to better disguise Negan.
BILLY BUTCHER: You could make sten guns outta nails an’ wood, an run around playin’ army. Spent all day there. Fuckin’ ace, it was.
Butcher enters tapping his Crowbar against his back. In his other hand, Butcher holds up his rifle and looks around. Negan is hidden in the shadows and helped by the mist, making sure to keep his voice down as Butcher approaches, unaware that he’s getting close to the gas line. Billy begins whistling the theme to Apocalypse Now, as he finally gets in the right position. Negan smiles as he takes a step backwards.
NEGAN: Fuck you, Limey!
Butcher spins around and fires, but the gunshot causes the gas to ignite and send Butcher flying back into the wall, badly burned. He’s alive, but just barely given his raspy wheezing. Negan chuckles, picking Billy up by the lapels of his jacket, shoving him into the walls repeatedly.
NEGAN: My father always told me; never ask Santa for a bucket of piss! Because some day, you might get a bucket of piss! And you’re that fucking bucket of fucking piss!
Negan throws Butcher to the ground and then kneels over him.
NEGAN: Okay, Limey! You got big fucking balls there to talk shit about me and what I do to keep my people alive from the dead and living. Time to take it like a champ!
Negan proceeds to beat Butcher’s face in with Lucille. We hear the sound of bones breaking as Butcher’s nose is broken and his skull is split, causing bleeding to be seen from within his head. However, Butcher just continues to laugh. Negan on the other hand, just continues to get more and more pissed off.
NEGAN: Who’s top dog now, Motherfucker?!
Negan smashes Butcher’s Face in again and again. This time, Negan smashes Butcher’s right cheek which is strong enough to send a few teeth flying.
NEGAN: WHO’S THE STRONGEST, YOU FUCKING FUCK?!
BUTCHER (Gasping): T…T…
Butcher smiles.
BUTCHER: Terror.
Negan looks confused before a loud chomping sound is heard and Negan begins screaming loudly. The camera pulls back to reveal Terror has bit down on Negan’s groin and is dangling by his teeth biting down between Negan’s legs. Negan backs off, trying to shake Terror off of him. Unfortunately for the leader of the Saviors, the bulldog will not let go. Negan then slams himself into a wall as Terror yipes loudly and finally releases him. Negan grabs his private area, which is bleeding due to the bite. Before he can regain his composure, a pair of hands grabs Negan’s head and neck, getting him in a headlock. We pull back to reveal it’s Butcher.
BUTCHER: I warned you, you twat.
Butcher pulls hard as Negan’s neck is ripped from his shoulders. Butcher gets showered with blood from the area where Negan’s head used to be attached to, as he continues to laugh manically. Negan’s body falls to the ground as Butcher takes a minute to examine the head of his now-dead foe. He tosses the head to the ground and kneels next to Terror.
BUTCHER: You all right, Terror?
Butcher pets his dog as Terror seems to calm down, giving him a big smile before licking his face. Butcher can’t help but laugh.
BUTCHER (Chuckling): Okay, Terror. Easy, easy. That’s a good lad.
Butcher takes out a cell phone and dials a number. He waits before the person at the other end picks up.
BUTCHER: You got all that, Hughie?
We cut over to a nearby building where Hugh Campbell is watching the events on a laptop.
HUGH (Dumbfounded): Jings, Butcher! Did you really have tae make me watch ‘at?!
We cut back to Butcher grinning.
BUTCHER: I keep telling ya, Hughie. This is for your own good to strengthen you up for the day we eventually take down those slags in The Seven.
HUGH (V.O.) (Sighing): Aye. Whatever.
BUTCHER: Good. Now get the car prepped I’ll be there soon.
Butcher hangs up and looks over to Terror who is sitting in front of Negan’s decapitated head. The dead leader’s mouth is left handing open with a shocked look on his face. Butcher grins.
BUTCHER: Terror… Fuck it.
We hear Terror panting happily as Butcher nods.
BUTCHER: That’s a good lad.
K.O.[]
Announcer: K.O.!
RESULTS[]
Boomstick: Man! Who knew Butcher could be such an extreme chiropractor?
Wiz: Negan may have been a master of surviving the undead apocalypse and the psychopaths and survivors that came from it, but against Billy Butcher, he was pretty much outclassed. While Butcher was easier to provoke into an angry rage than Negan, the Leader of the Saviors didn’t have anything that could put the leader of the Boys down permanently. He was also mostly outclassed against Butcher’s stats. Negan could outrun a 40 MPH Tiger on foot, but Butcher managed to dodge laser beams putting his reaction speed around 201,202,991,946 meters per-second. Or 450,078,274,754. Much faster than Negan’s running speed and his reaction speed.
Boomstick: To be fair, Negan was better at killing quickly at a close range, but unfortunately none of his weapons were going to do jack-shit to a guy who takes Compound-V regularly. Without Compound-V, Butcher wouldn’t stand a chance against one lucky strike from Lucille. Negan managed to reduce the heads of people to hamburger meat using his strength alone.
Wiz: But not only would Negan need to get REALLY lucky to hit him, Butcher never goes into a fight unprepared. Plus, while Negan is quite devious at setting traps, Butcher has just as much experience getting out of them. Also, with Butcher’s Compound-V injection, he could survive a grenade going off in his hand, while Negan was still a fairly ordinary human.
Boomstick: Man, I really need to get my hands on some of that stuff.
Wiz goes to open his mouth, but Boomstick puts a finger over it.
Boomstick: Not interested in partaking in any more of your experiments, Wiz.
Wiz: Fine. Negan was never going to go down quietly, but against Butcher’s enhanced strength, speed, and dirty tactics, it was only a matter of time before The Leader of The Saviors met his demise.
Boomstick: Negan should’ve really kept his head in the game, but Billy managed to butcher him flawlessly.
Wiz: The Winner is Billy Butcher.
TRIVIA[]
The connections between Billy Butcher and Negan are that they are both foul-mouthed, psychotic leaders of their respective groups (The Boys and The Saviors respectively). They also both lost their wives in a tragedy related to the individuals that ruined their world (Billy’s wife Becca was raped by Black Noir which resulted in an accelerated childbirth ending with the baby killing Becca, while Negan’s wife Lucille died of cancer only to be resurrected as a Walker). Both have also been in successful TV Adaptations known for their shock-value for both language and violence.
This fight was done in honor of the recently-wrapped-up Season 3 of The Boys, as well as the 10 Year Anniversary of Negan debut in The Walking Dead #100.
This fight would ideally be done in hand-drawn animation.
The Track Title, Butchers and Saviors, is a reference to both characters’ being psychotic violent protagonists of their own stories. Butchers refers to Billy Butcher while Saviors refers to Negan’s group; The Saviors.
Ideally, the song would be a fast-paced action track that references the themes to both The Boys and The Walking Dead.
Butcher confronting Negan is a callback to The Boys: Diabolical Episode 3: I’m Your Pusher. The episode is set in the world of The Boys Comic and sees Butcher blackmailing a drug-dealer for the Supes into helping kill another one being honored by The Seven.
Homelander does the infamous “I can do whatever I want” line that he gave at the end of Season 2 of The Boys TV Series.
Negan rubs his bat against Butcher’s face similar to his move in Tekken 7, even using the same quote that he says when the move is preformed.
Butcher references Reacher Dick. Reacher Dick was a character from The Boys Comic Herogasam and was a parody/analogue to Reed Richards of The Fantastic Four.
Butcher’s speech to Negan about his childhood is taken from The Boys comic when Butcher used this speech to scare the team known as Payback whilst hiding in the shadows.
Negan telling Butcher to “take it like a champ” is a reference to when Negan killed Glenn in The Walking Dead #100 and when Negan killed Abraham in the TV Series.
Hughie’s appearance and voice in this fight is based off of his original comic book design. This version was specifically modeled after actor Simon Pegg who was to play Hughie in an eventual film that never materialized. Eventually, Pegg was considered too old to play the part. However, he did guest-star in The Boys TV Series as Hughie’s father. He also finally portrayed Hughie by voicing the character in The Boys: Diabolical Episode 3: I’m Your Pusher. Boomstick even references this in Butcher’s analysis nearly calling Hughie Simon Pegg.
