Comments
As someone who came at this from the opposite direction (watched the first season and then looked up some of the comic), I can vouch for it. First, the characters are actually layered and interesting, with Homelander and "The Female" being standouts, but pretty much everyone is improved. Additionally, it doesn't fall into the trap the comic does, of thinking it needs to get to "the good stuff" RIGHT AWAY. Turns out, if you're good at character writing, anything can be "the good stuff"! Also, this is very subjective, but I think the show's edginess comes with actual commentary that is saying something, whereas I'd agree: the comic was edgy for edgy's sake.

2022-07-05 02:35:06 +0000 UTCAll this The Boys talk makes me wonder if I should watch the show. I read the comics a bit a few years back, but I thought it was some of the most try-hard edgelord bullshit I've ever read. The show sounds more ambitious, though.
