I had to click on the Twitter profile because I wanted to confirm that was indeed the artist of the comic book making fun of those goofballs. I met him at comicon one year, super cool dude.

I'm reading through the comic now and think it's a smart move that they threw out the entire idea that the Boys mostly just sit around gathering dirt on superheroes. Not only is it gross (since a lot of supes are just gay and not out), but also because I feel like it's just kind of dumb and uncreative that aloof supes are held in check by such a mechanic. For the world the comic created, I guess it kind of works, but I don't think you could translate that to live action. Also, wtf is with the way Annie is drawn. At one point Vought marketing guys talk about revamping her character and giving her a boob job. There's literally no room left for implants.

Accessible to people who aren't 14 year old boys (pun unintended). The comic is essentially on a mission to make as much messed up stuff as one can fit on a page, the teevee show at least sort of presents The Boys as relatable characters. They still mess up, and even petit Hughie's real introduction to the viewers / the team is a gruesome murder, but you can't really escape the premise that actually having super heroes would be absolutely awful, and people trying to contain them have to do awful things too. Now, that whale definitely didn't deserve it, but it was still funny. I mean, loving diabolical.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Jk0E4alrY Supposedly Jack Quaid is a huge Aunty Donna fan, so he got all the cast into their YouTube channel, so they reached out to be on the show. Jack's in another episode. I recommend it!

Actually it wasn't funny at all because even though the whale was fake it was still supposed to be an animal suffering in agony before death and I actually missed most of the scene because all I could think about is "someone please put the suffering animal out of its misery holy poo poo this is hosed up".

The rest of the boys having a heart to heart with Hughie with a literal beating heart behind them is undeniably funny

It's a sad and satirical scene meant to evoke empathy and laughter. Anyone who feels more of one and less of the other is perfectly justified.

it's a black comedy scene in a black comedy show, I'd settle down with calling people sociopaths for laughing at a scene that was very deliberately meant to be funny

For the world the comic created, I guess it kind of works, but I don't think you could translate that to live action. See, I actually disagree with this to an extent; the fact that they dont gather dirt on the heroes and arent superpowered in the show kind of gives a silly bend to the fact that they're getting one over on the supes. It's also a pretty good grounding of the supes to reality that they all have exploitable vices, though they get pretty cartoonish. The outing in the first arc is pretty crass, yeah. If it's any consolation, there's a gay/homophobia-centric arc later into the series that I think handles the subject well enough for 2006. I give it a small amount of lenience because the comic was made around the time that this was the height of "liberal" comedy: https://twitter.com/adamjohnsonNYC/status/865055182652100608?s=20 (Though going off Dear Becky, Ennis hasnt developed much on this)

The whale wasn't CGI actually. It was a life-size prop. Edit: I think Hughie's actor was a little traumatized by it

In the first 60 seconds of the show Huey's girlfriend gets fangoriously exploded all over him. A little Deadwhale5 is just more grease for the black satirical comedy machine.

It also shows (once again) how The Deep loves aquatic life and constantly puts it in danger for his own self-gain. Explode that whale again, imo.

I just saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail and anyone who laughed at that scene with the black knight is a sociopath. A man got ALL HIS LIMBS CUT OFF. I had to stop the movie and go have a cry, and that's the only acceptable reaction.

I really feel like I realized what was going to happen at the same time as everyone in the boat and it was a real moment.

Like, when you watch the show, all the characters and the setting are really engrossing. And for a bit, you forget how it's a grown up super hero comic movie and think of it as a drama or a political action show, like the opposite of 24( including being actually good). Then they drive a boat through a whale, and Cpt_Obvious fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Nov 19, 2020 |
