Have never heard of the show, sounds like they are a bunch of anarchists from the premise on Wiki.

Anybody have a different opinion.

Amazon wants to continue to stoke political violence but don’t want to be held accountable for the crazies they target when they actually do it

Out of respect, Vaughn Meader no longer did his JFK impersonations after he was assassinated.



Yet making fun of Eric "I can't breathe" Garner,Michael "Hands up don't shoot" Brown, George Fentanyl Floyd etc, would trigger the Apocalypse. Nah, no double standards. That's just a PIGMENT of our imaginations

I watch it. Veers into complete debauchery but this season was based on “MAGA” types being evil, of course, and attempting to assassinate the fictional President.

"Anybody have a different opinion."

I've watched it from the beginning. Karl Urban is one of my favorites. I take it as fantasy entertainment. Nothing more than any of the Marvel or DC characters. Gen V is an offshoot of The Boys. I liked that too. It's been renewed for a second season as The Boys has been renewed for a fifth season.

I watched some of the first season. Crap. Vulgar crap. One of them made a girl give him a BJ as part of their “initiation”. This is entertainment?

When I am elected King (lol) I will outlaw “super hero” movies.

The Boys went gay and woke a long time ago.

Must have heard about the Alex Jones verdict.

No worries...the lawyers, judges and juries (AKA just us) are all on THEIR side.

It’s an enjoyable, albeit very dark, graphic, and somewhat nasty show.

Basically, what people without morals who have superpowers would do to ordinary people.

An evil corporation, using Nazi science, creates super people.

Government and societal corruption.

The “boys” are ordinary people (ex military, spooks, and one IT guy whose finance was killed by a superhero while the superhero was high) that go after the worst of the worst of the supes. Government people eventually join along with superpowered people who are not horrible.

The boys’ methods on getting rid of the supes is largely amoral. People are used and killed.

Really only the IT guy is decent, which turns out to be the real superpower in a roundabout way.

Basically, a far more realistic Marvel show, because it deals with greed and human nature and corrupt government.
