why did one turn out so much worse than the other, when the source material for both is garbage?

Which one is the series that turned out worse than the other?
>>
>>153409640
The original boys comic spoofed George Bush and the War on Terror. So of course the 'modern audiences' Boys was going to have to spoof Donald Trump and the Republicans . . . Even as everyone is getting really fucking sick of the 'Trump is literally Hitler' hyperbole.
At this point why not just lean into the absurdity and give homelander a shitty wig and an orange spraytan?
>>
>>153409782
>Kirkman proved that he smart
his main female character aborted the main male character's child when he was off planet for like 30 seconds

Even if you don't like trump. The joke isn't funny anymore. The 'Trump Is Hitler' joke should be to political satire as the fart joke is to normal comedy, less is more. Otherwise people just get grossed out and leave.

>OP doesn't specify whether The Boys TV series turned out better than the Invincible TV series or if it's the other way around so that anons can start fighting
I see right through your games...
>>
>>153409640
The Boys is so ridiculous it end being funny, manly for Homelander and Butcher. They carry the show.
Also the criticism over politics and right-wingers is so pathetic it ends making far right things in the show to look awesome. Probably is almost intentional.
I give non shit about Starlight's drama, however. Fuck that.
>>
>>153412018
>manly for Homelander and Butcher.
It still sounds like a compliment.
>>
>>153409887
nah he's right, I live in Australia and everyone thinks Trump is a drooling retard. Literally only Iranian diaspora and Jews like him, for obvious reasons.
>>
>>153409640
Give it time. The real retarded shit for Invincible is coming
>>
>>153412052
It is. Both actors are funny on screen. In fact they should have four times more screen time.
>>
>>153412118
the only retarded shit i know is the rape and the abortion
>>
>>153412146
>>153412052
I'm just glad Jensen Ackles is still in the show.

I think the black noir storyline from the comics would've been cool too
>>
>>153409640
they are both terrible though comics and shows though?
>>
>>153409812
>>153410162
Trump's reputation is the worst it's ever been, people dont think its hyperbole. And parodying Trump was common even before he was president. The knock against the Boys is that it just stopped doing a parody of now and just started doing it explicitly which is less interesting.
>>
>>153409786
The boys fell much farther from grace, get real, invincible humiliates it just by having an actual timeless plot that remembers it's about superheroes instead of seething over current year slop

>>153409815
>main female character aborted
Also happened in the boys, what's your point
>>
>>153409833
If he's shit at writing why did the Invincible cartoon turn out better than The Boys, despite sticking more to the source material than The Boys show did?

>Also happened in the boys, what's your point
starlight is old news. nobody's liked her in like 3 seasons

we're all about WMAF now
>>
>>153412630
I was watching the Invincible cartoon and it's fucking trash. I think the cunt just identifies popular trends and tries to attach his mid dramas to them in search of bank. It's worked, don't get me wrong, but what works is boring. innovative ideas rarely succeed, he's just managed to create yet another generic money making machine.
And I want a refund for the time I put into his shitty fucking cartoon
>>
>>153413467
the invincible cartoon is funny because they do a lot of virtue signalling (like making amber black) which ends up coming off the opposite way they intended (like making the unlikable bitch a black woman)
>>
>>153412675
every time I see a screenshot from s5 I feel like I I'm somehow getting more retarded
very much glad knowing the writing is on the wall that it'll end like dogshit and all the people who thought it wasn't going to be shit get proven wrong
>>
>>153409640
Capeshit deconstruction stories is faggot shit.
Change my mind.
>>
>>153409812
Hey! Hitler at least liked animals and nature.
>>
both shows are fun, I'm glad I don't take any of this seriously and only enjoy the ride
>>
>>153409640
It helps Invincible isn't TDS the show and has an actual story, The Boys was legit never good
>>
>>153412018
>Homelander and Butcher. They carry the show.
At this point, Soldier Boy is the only good part of this shitshow.
>>
>>153409786
>>153411946
Come on, no matter how trash you think Invincible is and will get, it's obvious that The Boys is still much worse.
>>
The Boys S1 was legit not bad. It was released at a time when "fuck capeshit" was a relevant vibe and not just Garth Ennis' autistic seething. It only went to complete unwatchable shit because it's made by retarded thin-skinned American Jews who care more about Twitter than about making a good show.
>>
>>153409640
Invincible mostly sticks to its source while the Boys writing seems to be made up on the spot using a dartboard.
>>
>>153409640
both are shite.
>>
>>153415908
and thats why The Boys is much more entertaining
>>
I genuinely can't tell which you're referring to. They are both equally unfun and poorly budgeted.
>>
>>153409640
Because one of them was taken over by political partisans and virtue signalers who use the show as their soapbox. Poorly thought out changes were made to core elements of the original story, as well as the identities of major characters to fit modern agendas.
Also, the budget is clearly going to the celebrities rather the show's production.
That show is another example in a long line of shows ruined by modern day political activism, producer greed, corporate hubris, and disrespect for the source material and the comics medium in general.
That show is just awful, made by awful people.
>>
>>153409640
>The Boys' source material was a edgy deconstruction of the super hero genere that didn't took itself seriously until like the very end. Was very political and wasn't shy when it came down to insulting any major groups
>The show and spin off is a safe edgy leftwing/Jewish soapbox that twisted the source material into an unrecognizable tool to constantly insult one specific group while taking itself seriously from the beginning.

Invincible is still practically following it roots with being mature capeshit despite it minor abnormalities.

Also let not forget that the creator for invincible is still the main director for the show. Last time I check, Ennis has nothing to do with The TV series beside having that animated segment in the diabolical anthology short. That short and season 1 was more in tune with source material than the rest of the series. It's ridiculous.
>>
Because Invincible wasn't interesting in the first place.
>>
>>153409640
The Boys became an incredibly confused and brazenly retarded mouthpiece for its retarded writers and director. It's too busy trying to say something about modern culture to actually tell a story, which is so far off the rails that they've just been making up gross and horrendous things to keep the audience hooked with shock value.

Invincible just mostly just trying to adapt the comics with some questionable changes, but still making an overall acceptable edgy superhero cartoon.
>>
>>153412630
The Boys show is just wearing the skin of the comics and the people writing it are somehow far worse than Kirkman. Neither are truly great, but between the two, The Boys is worse.

I live in a red state and conservatives here are sick of him too. Ironically, them banning DEI, transgenders, abortion, and immigrants made it easier to see the figures actually responsible for increasing fuel prices and worsening their quality of life.

He's so objectively terrible that my priest was ranting about him in sermons yesterday, he condemns abortion and lgbt!
You have to be balls deep in pro-Trump podcasts and twitter to think that a blasphemous incompetent pedo like him is good.

Invincible is the best western action cartoon we have in spite of its flaws. A lot of western action cartoons prior had worse action scenes and animation along with having no continuity because of TV censorship. They were hot garbage to watch.

It doesn't hold back on the sex and gore, so it is equivalent to anime

The Boys is clearly written by people with TDS. Invincible, despite having Leftist propaganda, is actually free from TDS surprisingly.

Turns out when you focus on writing instead of crying about Orange Judas, your show can actually achieve quality.

Invincible isn't TDS but it is (((subversive))) in the way many hollyweird adaptations are
>>
>>153420464
Aren't both shows run by Seth to an extent? At least invincible has the original creator in charge. The TV show is essentially a revision from the comics.
>>
Can The Boys please end with everyone getting brutally murdered like in the comics?
Kill Butcher, Mother's Milk, Frenchie, and the Female.
If Hughie doesn't murder Butcher it's all worthless.
>>
>>153418647
Man, I miss that show. Thanks for reminding me

From the supposed leaks, take them as you will, the only major person to die beside homelander and butcher would be frenchie. That's it. Ofc they will continue milking this series with it prequel show.

The boys adaptation completely FUCKED Homelander's character.
In comics he's just some random aashole with powers and his descent into madness wasnt of his making.
In the show they just play it for tropes(Hes fuuucked up and sad because of his childhood brah) and also make him drink titmilk because lmfaoedge.
The entire culmination if his character, and an ironic showcase of WHY people love superheroes, is this scene where author all but turns to face the camera and goes "If Homelander didn't have any powers he would be no one special. He is as dull as a bus station crackhead.". The inverse of that is of course, the classic idea that a hero is made by the strenght of his character and not the powerset. So this pastisch of superheroes, ends up playing into the (well-beloved) tropes in a way that makes even the superhero media haters concede.

It's genuinely written well as fuck but somehow the consensus is that the show is good?
The show just makes him drumpf and a mommy fetishist.

I would actually appreciate it more if they went all in on the Trump comparison and had Homelander fuck kids on Stormfront Island but even their parody is without balls.
>>
>>153418714
>The Goys tv show is meta kino, its pretty much a Vought adaptation made after the (narratively real world) events (of the comics
This is the greatest interpretation i''ve ever fucking heard.
It explains so much.
They make starlight a retarded whore
They make M.M into a walking stereotype of a BLACK MAYN
They make Frenchie into a faggot
They make The Female into a tiktok stacy
They make Hughie into a rape victim twink cuckold.


It's all the things a seething corporation would do to rewrite history...
Holy shit. Thank you for raising that concept. Saved the show and elevated the comic for me lmfao.

homelander being trump feels very liberal

the boys was about how personalities like homelander don't actually have real individual power but are systemically propped up by capital
