This show is awesome, I'm 4 episodes in and will finish the last 4 today.

 

I don't know about the source material, but seems like great casting throughout the show.

Nope, but I do know there was some gender swapping from the comic to show.

@Stromboli1

 

I prefer the cynical take on superheroes over anything from Marvel

I agree with that. DC is way better than Marvel, but Marvel is better run especially in regards to the movies.

To clarify I mean in terms of story.  I prefer the darkness of DC and the Cynicism of the Boys to Marvel.  Marvel movies/TV shows are way more successful outside of the Dark Knight trilogy.

 

"stormfront's" look is lackluster.

I would say the finale of S1 represented a pretty significant departure from the source material, so much so that it's hard to see how they could still do direct adaptations of the original arcs without making some fundamental changes.

 

It would seem, a bit like Preacher the other year, that the names will be the same and that references to some of the bigger comic stories will still be there, but for the most part the show is going to start marking its own territory. That could be a good or bad thing, we'll have to wait and see.

Homelander (Darth Vadar)'s baby momma is a serious MILF 

 

Stormfront is not intimidating at all

The show is the Homelander show, but in the comics Butcher is the best character.
