I ain't liking The Boys as much as you lot.
It's fun when it's cynical and gory and that, but when it tries to go deeper, it falls into the "I AM SILLY" trap a lot.
I was under the impression it was to be a "realistic take" on super heroes with and edgy bend, but really, it just trades one shallow cartoon depiction for another.
I actually wouldn't mind that, if it didn't have the "normal" guy self insert characters (the main guy and the super girl) as a juxtaposition to show just how silly these psychos are.
Like most superhero shows/movies it really talks down to the audience in an obnoxious way.
It's still fun to follow Butcher (as clichè as he is so far) around doing shit though.
And having supes as bad guys is infinitely better than watching shit like The Flash or whatever.
