and I wish the TV show never happened
>>150599209>no G-Men>no bridge scene>no Super Duper>no Mother's Milk origin>Love Sausage isn't a Soviet superheroWhy bother?
>>150599209It's a mediocre comic with subpar art, but yeah, not nearly as bad as people say. The show looks like a piece of shit carried solely by Homelander's actor.The comic has good moments and some pretty cool characters.
>>150599947The show basically excises most of the scathing satire from the book for cheap shallow satire. Starr is definitely the main draw. They fucked up Tek Knight by turning him into a flat out rapist rather than a man who can't stop fucking things against his own will
>>150599947I think Robertson's art was good
The comic is mediocre at best and the show is even worse.
>>150599209its actually funny seeing the zoomers and Tiktok kids talk about this, not even in a ''oh its such a bad comic'' but they genuinely talk about it with such vitriol as if Ennis personally came to their homes and ripped apart their superhero comics and then ramble about how much better the show is.Im one of the biggest superhero readers you can imagine and even i could just enjoy the Boy's because of how batshit crazy the parody's where to the point where its just hilarious, and inbetween all of that i still get good character writing in the form of Butch and Hughie's brotherly relationshipThe show really does nothing for me, it feels like a very surface level obesrvation of ''le heroes are fascists and corpos are evil'' but it doesnt dare to even be as hilariously edgy like the comics or atleast have some bite to its commentary that doesnt just sound like some Hasan Piker tweetalso sanitising Tek Night and removing the Axis Beatdown on Stormfront really ruined it
>>150602564It was hilarious when retards screeching about girl power were twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify the Stormfront fight scene, though.>see, it's actually a good example of girl power shitFuck off. You massacred a good scene from the comic for doing the exact same shit you were "criticizing".
>>150602564Spot on. I think that one video on YouTube poisoned the well. Half of the kids haven't actually read it, just took their opinion from that.
>>150602597*for the sake of doing
>>150599209season 1 of the show objectively blows the comics out of the water before the jew got put in charge of the whole thing but after that I do agree that the tv series dropped HARD specially in the last season >>150602599you mean the one made by pointlesshub?>criticises the comic for being shock slop as if the show hasnt devolved into revolving entirely about that by the time that video came out>praises the show for the way they handled compound V when the super terrorists plot never gets brought up again aside from a small scene at the beggining of S2 >genuinely makes you think the boys are competent>hates the black noir plot twist despite the fact that the character in the show doesnt achieve anything of worth throughout 3 seasons before being snuffed out by Homelander i've recently checked the most recent comments though and a lot of them agree that the video has aged poorly.
>>150599209>the comic is great actuallyWith taste this trash you deserve everything you loved being raped and ruined (including your family and friends)
>>150603041The show sucked harder than the comic since the beginning.
>>150603072 it definitely had it's momentshttps://youtu.be/l5czdDuQ5Kw?si=8wSpsAkIWB7c8pfR
>>150599209The comic book is fine. The problem is that Ennies wrote it as a police procedural story with superheroes. Other than that, it's a 7/10 series. I started to like Homelander.
>>150603041The video's creator is not a comic book fan. Despite its formulaic structure, The Boys is full of references that only comic book readers would pick up on. Even the twists and turns come from comic books, and that includes the black noir revelation. But that's not even the reveal; the reveal is that Homelander is not evil.
>>150599209Hmmmm... Nah
>>150599209Will the comics have an impact to the industry than before?
>>150603041Cody denounced the video after the last season by saying that they both suck now.
>>150602564>Butch and Hughie's brotherly relationshipButcher's entire arc is trying to find something to corrupt Hughie enough to punish him, you posted the picrel making that point, he's literally happy to be dead
>>150603441>started to like HomelanderLook at the shit he has to put up with on a daily basis and his reward is 1. Even more idiot idolatry 2. A retard monster gaslighting him into thinking he's the retard monsterI mean he's a horrible person, sure but what examples of actually decent people are surrounding him?
>>150599209The ending of the Boys is possibly the best writing Garth Ennis ever did. In a way its the culmination of his fetishistic obsession with cool tough guys thats tracked through his entire career. Butcher is such a well developed, compelling character its bizzare given how cartoonish he is in some ways.There's arguably quite a bit of filler in the Boys that pretty forgettable or obnoxious, but its highs are insanely high. The tv show on the other hand is absolute worthless nothing slop throughout.
>>150604899We never got to see what Tampon Girl's powers did
>>150604746If you read the Homelander series, he's not only less deranged than the television version, but he's also the least morally fucked up character in the series. The only problem was his narcissism, with black noir manipulation (which was honestly a far-fetched plot), he was made to believe he was a villain. I feel like the last arc was rushed. If no one remembers, the series was canceled prematurely and moved to another magazine. And Ennies didn't want to write the story anymore. It ends with Obama nuthugging.
>>150605016>If no one remembers, the series was canceled prematurely and moved to another magazinewtf???i can't tell if this is some zoomer absurd misunderstanding of the move from DC to dynamite or if it's a literal AI making up shit post
>>150605210A little of both, Dynamite was happy to have them and it had great sales.
>>150599209It needed better art.>>150602184I don't.
>>150599209Happy I'm not the only one who feels this way. Great is a little strong. The comic was good, the show is dogshit, same with Preacher.
The TV show was alright until the producers spent too much time on Twitter and went full culture-warrior. At least the comic was pure Ennis from start to finish instead of becoming what it was supposed to parody.
>>150603066Calm down Garth Ennis
>>150599947It gave one of my favorite Garth Ennis moments
Unlike Hughie whom he saw as a surrogate of his own little brother, and Mother's Milk whom he clearly treats with respect, Butcher seemed to have nothing but contempt for Frenchie and Female, constantly insulting them behind their backs and calling them nutters.Frenchie, being the sensitive faggot he was, clearly did not like this, and there is a scene where he tells Female as much, and that he doesn't agree with the way Butcher sees her not as a person but a rabid attack dog.Why did Butcher dislike them so much?
>>150607328They're cunts.
>>150602597>Try a girlpower scene>Villian escape>Young boy kills the villianWomen are useless
>>150607328They exhibited a madness similar to that of the superheroes he hates.
>>150599209Not great, just okay.
Imagine getting to rail this incredibly naive bussy under the pretense that this is a totally no-homo job interview.
>>150610042
>>150610055
>>150602564Tek Knight is unironically the best character in the comics. But the kike showrunners couldn't help themselves from retardifying him because apparently he has "fascist undertones" by proxy of being inspired by Batman. Can't make this shit up
>>150599209I like the comic too but be real the show is better by a very large margin
>>150612530The show is so much worse.
>>150612464I feel like the people who call Batman a fascist (it was only cool when Pat Mills did it in Marshal Law) always hate Punisher too so I'd love to see their reactions if they found out who the main inspiration for Butcher was
>>150612530the show is an insult to the source material which is ten kinds of ironic
>>150599209cope
>>150615523certification of personal achievements?
>>150613536kek
>>150612464>Threaten him with donations to Black Lives Matter>BLM is exposed as a scam organization
>>150599209The Boys comic is one of the worst things Garth Ennis has written. Not as bad as Crossed, but still fucking miserable juvenile puke for about 80% of it. The ending is nice and satisfying but other than that it's no good.
>>150604689I noticed the slight thumbnail change lol but let's be real, the show wasnt that great either by the time that video came out.hadnt it been for soldier boy S3 would have been just as bad as S4.
