Just wow...

No holds barred.

It's incredible having almost complete freedom

they make sure that there is this teenage sophomoric humor perfect for the day one comic book geeks

And they earned a level of trust that the audience will just enjoy the ride.

The surprise guests in just the first episode alone is a huge slap in the face to all the other superhero movies and shows

I'm watching Episode One right now but
Grace Randolph, who has seen all eight episodes
said there is a TON of male nudity in this season

I'm 11 minutes in and I see what she means.
This scene is really fvcked up, but it's The Boys.
Thought I'd prepare everyone.

She also said, it doesn't really get good until Episode 6.
Yeah, that was disturbing. Sounds like it gonna be a trippy ass season.
Holy fucking shit I wasn't ready to see certain things in ep 1. Need to bleach my eyes asap
I'm a few mins in... this is wild... Lol
but it's The Boys and I expect nothing less...

I don't see how y'all watch all these YouTube review channels before the show especially her's...
It ruins the experience for me...



I'll admit that after 2 seasons I thought this show couldn't get me in an "WTF did I just watch?" moment. But during that scene in the 1st episode it made me say it out loud.

is Homelander the worst villian in fictional tv or film
dude has no redeeming qualities and some of his scenes are tough to watch
he has a God Complex which I guess is to be expected since he has been treated like one

if the tape doesnt keep him in check not sure what does
thats one thing i liked about the comic vs show...it was more a cold war/mutally assured destruction...Butcher and his crew have no chance against Homelander and he really gives no fucks. The shit he did to Deep was foul..and the Deep is one of his 'friends'.

I still think he fact he was CREATED

that he was manipulated and used since BIRTH?

Gives him a iota of sympathy.

The Boys season 3 : This show is definitely in my top 10 of being the most shocking and over the top. Couple the carnage with characters that are dealing with their own depression and inner demons,which brings the tension and suspense to overwhelming levels. I really enjoyed the backstories in the episodes. Homelander is one of the greatest villains/characters ever created.

As fucked up as this show is it is probably the most realistic super hero tv show.
Right! You give most people super powers & they turn into assholes. I’m waiting for Soldier Boy to show up. It should be good. He based off Captain America & no way a white dude from the 1940’s isn’t racist.

Exactly this. The only movie I personally remember that broached this theory is Hollow Man starring Kevin Bacon. Remember when he got his invisibility at first he was doing perv shit like spying on his fine ass neighbor while she showered? But then he went full savage was like, "fuck this shit! She can't see who I am" and eventually straight raped her ass. As disturbing as that scene was there is some truth to the belief that for the most part humans would abuse their powers rather than use them for good.
