He said something very powerful in the first interview. "It forces you to reconsider everything you assumed about what makes Superman Superman"
And also, a lot of the hypothetical 'What if' stories aren't that good.
So if you can create a story that's a hypothetical re-imagination of a character with some substance, you got something.
Look at The Boys. That is exactly what The Boys IS, a hypothetical re-imagination of characters with substance.
Not to derail
I love the boys Ennis is on my all time list Kripke is Supernatural so its all love too
that core of Hughie and Starlight is so important and powerful
but many sleep on Butcher love of Hughie and the pain regret he feels EVERY time he looks at him
My only worry about the boys is having Homelander be the big bad that they ALMOST always get.
And the other characters being so stained as to not want to ROOT for them at some point
which stresses the importance of Starlight and Hughie and to a lesser extent the rest of the Boys
but there HAS to be good heroes in this universe
Can't be that EVERYONE who gets these powers are trash
and every season can't be we gotta kill Homelander and oops.
Again I have COMPLETE faith they can pull this off and stick the landing.
But I wouldn't say making the characters all douche bags necessarily gives them "substance"
I think its more so we need NEW TALENT to tackle these heroes (*ahem looking at YOU)
Superman can STILL be Superman (as proven by the WB) and be a interesting character.

He is apart of my four pillars in DC:
Tim Daly as Superman
Kevin Conroy as Batman
Phil LaMaar as Green Lantern
Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman
Nathan Fillion does a good Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, but I think he'd be a better Booster Gold. But you gotta give it up to Andrea Romano and discovering a lot of these talents and putting them together.
But the problem with Homelander/Superman is that there isn't anyone that is as strong as him. The only "good guy with a gun" that you would think that would have a chance against Superman is Batman (shout out to Prep Time) Homelander is the same way. There isn't anyone in the universe that is as powerful as him. His son will get there, but as we saw at the end ****SPOILERS***** his son is with him now, so basically you have TWO Supermen that you have to stop.
The Boys is here for a GOOD time, not a LONG time! Your gripe makes sense if this were trying to be a 7+ season show, but 5 at the most with a 5th being a sendoff of the characters (wishing, not in the comic)
Homelander is like Dinosaurs being explained by the Jeff Goldblum character in Jurassic Park. They threw all these powers into one being and not once did they stop and ask should we?
I seen people shitting on this flick online, but I thought it was dope.
...haven't seen it yet myself, but I can guess WHY they're shytting on it!
