You equating The Boys as a complex show to Watchmen and Lovecraft Country that deals with racial tensions with real life consequences on very detailed level because one character in the Boys is written to briefly touch on those same issues. Give me a break.. You are like a Trump supporter spewing out nonsense, comparing apples and oranges, and chooses to believe all of it with no doubt. The shows aren't even similar but you felt the need to throw in those two shows for no reason at all.

Watchmen is copaganda that completely whiffs on capturing the themes of the comic, plain and simple. I haven't seen Lovecraft Country but I have heard it criticized a great deal for its heavy-handedness and failure to explore its themes in a way that says anything especially new. The Boys spends its entire 2nd season exploring the relationship between capitalism, American jingoism, and fascism. I don't know where you get off concluding that it 'briefly touches' on these issues when that's the overarching theme of the show. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minutemancl Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I read someone else say the same thing, but it is really funny when you look at the Watchmen comic compared to the movie, then The Boys comic compared to the show. There's almost a total swap in there somewhere. Tonally and thematically, The Boys show is the Watchmen movie we should have gotten, had it been faithful to the source material. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titansNvolsR#1 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 You guys seen the clip of the cast van going to set and Jack Quaid mentions how Antony is always in character and asks him what’s the best part of playing Homelander and he responds still in American accent “I don’t have to do any -ing scenes with you”? Gold. Though I imagine he would grate on you after a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Kinda unsure how they’re gonna tie some of these loose threads... Binged the whole series. Quite quite good, heavy handed in a few aspects. But sometimes heavy handedness is needed. Cindy is gonna be the best. I can feel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yourself a favor - watch Banshee (just get past the awful paint by numbers 2nd episode) and you will love Starr & the cast. That show got him this part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
