AN AMAZING WATCH. Really loved Homelander and all his antics.
The Boys on Prime Video is a dark, thrilling take on superheroes that I can’t get enough of. It’s intense, funny, and filled with unexpected twists that keep you hooked. Soldier Boy is my favorite character—his complex, no-nonsense attitude adds a unique edge to the show. And, of course, Butcher’s relentless, gritty personality is second to none. With powerful performances, sharp social commentary...
The Boys started off well enough but any potential it might have had as entertainment, backed by legitimate social commentary, has been quickly astro-turfed by the agenda pedlars. This series positively oozes woke. If there's a politically loaded pitch to be made, in my opinion, there's a good chance you'll find it here. What I personally found even more odious, in the current season (4) is th...
At least it has Simon Pegg in it, who Hugh was based on. And I kind of can't picture the show without his involvement. It's not as Garth Ennis as I think it should be, it's not as vulgar and offensive and fun as he usually is, and certainly as The Boys was in print... but it comes really close to making that mark, and that is a breath of fresh air given the way that both comic books, and the mo...
The series had the potential to follow in the footsteps of Watchmen, but woke took over and squelched any objective socio-political commentary that the original comic may have had. Any and all characters in any sort of power position - unless it's the bad guy - is female. It's so obvious and boring a trope that it distracts from the already heavy burden of suspension of disbelief put onto the view...
For me the whole series is a total and effective satire that lets us see what would become of the world if fiction becomes reality: heroes lose interest in saving the world (or take advantage of its status), are forced to do things that are not right, to follow the company's own interests and do not go out to end the crime if they are not followed by a camera that captures each of their movements,...
A great series set in a world where superheroes are a real phenomenon. Capitalism is omnipresent, profit and money are in everyone's mind. Of course the 'Sups' abuse their power for their own interests and many more cruel and immoral things. Every hero's doing is explained, some more, some less. There's a perfect balance between big serious storylines and little kind of darker humor ones. ...
Wonderful premise, beautiful pictures, handsome, good and sexy actors, what could go wrong? Unnecessary, stupid decisions. Everywhere. The typical "say something!" \*stuttering and stammering* to introduce some side-story, or secret personas where the only thing to change is the hero's suit, or a wimpy protagonist who has way too many scenes of indecisiveness, long and drawn out dialogues (...
