SympathysSilhouette Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Best superhero show on TV. Well, I think I would rank Invincible just as high. But everything else is playing for second place. Quote

The Boys is the only superhero stuff I'm into, mainly because it poops on the genre lol. Quote
SympathysSilhouette Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Well both play with genre conventions. And both Omniman and Homelander use a concept that is older, which is "what if Superman was evil?". But The Boys tone is lighter and more irreverent. Quote

I see Invincible as an evolution of the Superman concept, it is much wider in scope. I would have preferred an adult (rather than a boy) as the main character though. The Boys' comic had an insane ending and if the show survives, it will too. Quote
Cult Icon Posted June 25, 2022 Author Posted June 25, 2022 I don't like how they made Billy Butcher so powerful and Homelander less dominant. In the comic he knows that Homelander can easily tear him limb from limb and doesn't engage. Billy butcher is more like an in-between superperson, he's better than most superheroes in hand to hand fighting but lacks superpowers. A big appeal of the comic was how insane and demi-god like Homelander was compared to the other superheroes. This framework was very important for the series. So it gave the "boys" an underdog/resistance fighter vibe. They had to hide from and outsmart this monster. Quote
Cult Icon Posted July 8, 2022 Author Posted July 8, 2022 I like the final scene of the season. Spoiler There is potential with an evil super-kid (might end up being the one who kills Homelander). They completely changed Black Noir arc. I liked the one in the comics a lot more. Also Maeve is way too overpowered. In the comics she is nothing compared to Homelander. Quote
Cult Icon Posted July 9, 2022 Author Posted July 9, 2022 Stormfront was very different in the comics (he was a he for the first part). Ditto for Soldier boy. The Soldier boy in the show is a lot better than the one in the comics, I wish they did more with him. Probably my favorite character right now. I think they hired the wrong actress for Stormfront. She looks completely wrong for the part. They could have gotten a tall/athletic, Evil-hot blonde who looks like a younger version of Ilsa: She wolf of the SS: Quote
PinkCouture Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 So...Father and son slept with the same woman. Is there a term for that? Quote
Cult Icon Posted June 15, 2024 Author Posted June 15, 2024 new Boys character is a beauty Valorie Curry (@valoriecurry) • Instagram photos and videos Quote
Cult Icon Posted June 15, 2024 Author Posted June 15, 2024 I predict that at least 1 of the 2 new sups will die in this season. The black guy in the Seven will get it too. My prediction for Season 5 is that it'll end like in the comics Spoiler He'll kill the president and take over the gov't, then there is a final battle with the boys Quote
