The Boys is for people who would have liked nemesis if every character was nemesis and nemesis said gently caress and oval office more. and there was more paraplegic masturbating and monkey face AIDS. Also "cum on my hump".

Usually really dumb over the top stuff in movies makes me want to watch them more, like a murderous chicken possessed by ghosts from an ancient burial ground, cool, say no more, but this honestly just sounds dumb. And I watch a lot of dumb poo poo so it takes a lot for me to call something "too dumb". now excuse me while I go back to watching this movie about an executed murderer who comes back in the form of a gingerbread man with a gun

All this talk of The Boys going over the top and not one mention of what a shitshow the not-X-Men in the comic and how terrible that was. For shame. I do have to admit though the Amazon series is pretty good and waaaaaay toned down and more realistic (for lack of a better term) so far. It’s not fall of Rome levels of decadence and the characters actually behave like humans instead of Ennis creations from a bizzaroverse.

The last issue of the comic i saw in a comic store depicted the Boys castrating a knock off Incredible Hulk tied to a chair like Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.

Then they’re all killed by the army to resolve any conflict by the end of the arc. It’s Ennis at his most hot-take masturbatory Ennis-y.

So an actually irritating moment in The Boys, end of episode 2. So they've got the invisible man with indestructible skin in a cage and are trying to figure out a way to kill him. Suffocation won't work for some reason. No explanation except some other people tried it and they're dead now. Sure, whatever. I was waiting for them to try poison but that never even comes up. They figure out something that might work, a bomb up his rear end, because his insides aren't indestructible. Edgy af but whatever, I'll roll with it. Newbie then explodes the guy and is covered in blood. Cool scene, but shouldn't there have been only two possible outcomes? Either the explosion is contained inside the indestructible skin leaving a bloody human shaped husk with blood squirting out of the orifices, or it's powerful enough to turn the skin into lethal shrapnel?

I purchased the Punisher MAX volumes written by Ennis, and they're highly enjoyable if formulaic ( Every supporting character dies, the villains bicker and backstab each other before Frank ends them all, Frank can only Frank) I will never spend a cent on The Boys because the artwork is absolute shite and it's difficult to invest in one guy's tract against superheroes, unlike targets more deserving of scorn like loan-sharks, human-traffickers, and the IRA.

I finished The Boys and it's significantly better than the comic. They did tone down the graphic poo poo significantly and fiddled with the plot enough that it keeps the gist but is clearly going it's own way. The rapist from episode 1 gets outed in a #metoo moment and shipped to Sandusky, Ohio. In a terrible run in with karma, brings home a barfly who proceeds to finger gently caress his gills while he tells her that hurts and to stop. It was exactly as awful to watch as it sounds.

In the stargate sg-1 episode "thor's chariot", the team has to contact the asguard to fix their fuckup from the previous season. The series of tests to prove their society has "come of age" and contact the real asguard seems absurdly simple to the point where it could successfully be completed by accident. First they have to get over their superstitions and touch the forbidden rock, which you would think some kids would have done many times already just because it's forbidden. Then you have to save someone from falling, which I think most humans would do on instinct. and their final test is...draw a straight line in a sand circle, presumably demonstrating that you understand basic geometry...but if I saw a circle of sand the first thing I'd want to do is poke at it and draw stuff on it. The real explanation is probably that the room is capable of telling what you are thinking when you do it, but if the room is so smart how did it not know that non-natives were solving the puzzles for the natives? and the ending - the lady tells the earth people they are "still much too young" to contact them...why do we have such a higher standard to meet? The natives got carried through their easy-mode trial and they get a free alien teacher for it, so what gives, aliens?

In all the years of watching Home Alone, I had never thought of the fact that old man Marley was often out salting the sidewalks and apparently lived right next to the McAllisters. Yet apparently he either didn't know anything about Harry and Marv robbing houses in his neighborhood or didn't try to stop them, until he happened to notice that they were chasing Kevin on Christmas Eve.

I've finished The Boys and I've liked season 1, I think they've done a good work by importing the idea while abandoning several of the most problematic element of the comics. That said while I've liked the "humanization" all the Supes get, it makes Butcher look even more like an rear end in a top hat from the get go than it is in the comics; I think the comics walk a fine line where "the end justify the means" is pushed more and more, but with most of the Supes being pantyhosed cenobites (instead of generic "bad corporate idiots, plus psycho-Superman"), Butcher's idea of "the only good Supe is a dead Supe" makes more sense for a longer time MAJOR COMICS SPOILER so when Butcher turns against his former "friends" in the name of revenge, it's a bit more unexpected. In the series, Butcher is shown as a loaner forced to work with other people almost from the get go; also his dead wife not being dead will definitely add even more layers of "this guy is an rear end in a top hat" to the cake, so I'm afraid they're going a bit too hard towards the major "twist" in the comics a bit too soon.

Bjork was fantastic in that. Her acting debut IIRC. But because of how Von Trier traumatized her, she swore off ever acting again. Brutalizing his female leads is kind of his thing.

I guess the idea was to kill himself to avoid being super-tortured by Homelander or something, but yeah, they are definitely going hard on the "Butcher is an amoral rear end in a top hat" from the get go in the series.
