I could get past the first few episodes. I think the bank scene killed it for me. Any time they were dealing with bad guys it felt like there was no tension.

Destor 07-30-2022 12:30 AM

Thats accurate. All the tension is interpersonal family dramaand the antagonist of the season. Everything else is tongue and cheek

Oof. Don't read the comic then.

Destor 07-30-2022 06:21 PM

The show is way better than the comics

Destor 07-30-2022 06:33 PM

And most of that goes to Kripke

The book is one dimensional gore porn. Enjoyed it for what it was, but the show is far superior.

Know nothing of the comic, love the show.

Now that the season has wrapped up, I'm checking out the "Gen V" spinoff.... was "skeptical" of a spinoff, but the first episode got me good. Will be continuing with it.

Lock Jaw 11-04-2023 08:08 PM

Four episodes/half a season in.... really enjoying it. Not as good as The Boys due to lack of a grade A villain like Homelander, but it really fits in with "The Boys" universe.

Lock Jaw 11-05-2023 05:19 PM

Finished up the season... liked it... pretty much an X-Men story.

Not sure I understand or get the ending.... Maybe they will explain it more in season 2...

Huh… I’ve seen that on my pirate site and assumed it was gay teen rubbish, not awesome adult stuff. Damn, now I have to click that shitty poster.

Fignuts 11-06-2023 01:16 PM

Thought it was pretty good. Good compliment to the boys.

Big Vic 01-18-2024 04:24 PM

Coming 2024 but whennnnnnnn?

Disgraceful. We’re waiting too long already but lets add another year. It’s not that good a show, no show is that good.

Big Vic 04-02-2024 03:33 PM

June 13th.... gotta keep that in my head.

road doggy dogg 04-02-2024 04:32 PM

Honestly with how long it's been between season 3 and 4 I've pretty much lost all interest in this show. I'll still watch season 4 when it hits but I think they lost a ton of whatever momentum they've had with this.

Plus that dude from the Gen V spin-off show just died so that show's probably indefinitely paused while they figure out what they're doing with that

Big Vic 06-24-2024 01:31 PM

Writing not as tight as the first 3 seasons. Still good though IMO.

Homelander needs some cookies with his milk

Seanny One Ball 07-07-2024 06:09 AM

Last episode got a bit too blatant with the old “woke people are boring bastards” theme but it was pretty funny. I said at the start that the show was mocking the woke crowd rather than embracing them and I’m glad to see it proven by a female on male rape scene that openly mocks the Starlight/The Deep assault from season 1.

Every interesting character is a complicated bastard, as it should be.

Big Vic 07-10-2024 09:30 AM

Lot of autists didn't understand the book scene was a joke.

Seanny One Ball 07-11-2024 07:30 AM

Which book scene was a joke?

Big Vic 07-11-2024 08:20 AM

When Kimiko dropped her phone then got to the library.

Big Vic 09-11-2024 09:59 AM

Ending of the season was pretty good. Excited for the last season.
