Inspiration behind this video:

The Boys controversy didn't sit well with everyone, but as dark as the ordeal might be, it's an important step on Starlight's journey, while also defining her immediately as the only true hero in The Seven, who are otherwise lacking a moral compass. To adapt the assault verbatim from the comic books, however, would've been several steps too far. Depicting sexual assault in fiction is a sensitive endeavor, and compounding Starlight's suffering with two extra members of The Seven would veer sharply into gratuitous territory. Being ganged up on would add nothing to Annie's arc that isn't already present through her scene with The Deep, offering cheap shock value without substance.

Perhaps the most important benefit of The Boys' Starlight change comes in the aftermath of the incident. In another detour from the source material, Starlight speaks out publicly, shaming The Deep and receiving support for her bravery. While she is still scarred, The Boys turns Starlight's story into one of reclaiming control and finding strength during times of trauma. Furthermore, The Deep is punished for his actions. After Starlight's revelation, Deep loses his position in The Seven and becomes a shell of his former self, pathetically relying on a Fresca drinking cult to stay relevant.
