so I have been watching the boys on amazon recently and I’ll say al though all characters are off brand it’s pretty darn good anybody else watching this
I saw the first episode. The hero's remind me of the cool kids in High School everyone wants to be a part of the group you think they are so cool then when you get on the team you find out how Fucked up they are! It is a cool spin. I just got End Game on Digital and I'm watching the commentary it is so cool to hear what the creators were thinking! They leave the door open for...
I heard the end game bonus features were good, I’m about 5 episodes in on the boys not as cool as marvel but kind of getting dark
The bonus stuff is so cool. I am going to try to watch more of the boys this weekend. The show has some dark humor. It's hard to go from Marvel to that. If you get a chance check out the Marvel Comic con panel it tells what is coming next. D23 is Disney's comic con and it is this month. They will tell you all about Marvel Star Wars and Disney Movies Disney plus and the shows that are going to be on there in November. When I see you we will have to geek out and talk about it.
An old fart's The Boys (with attitude!) THIN LIZZY: The Boys are Back in Town The Boys are back in Town Guess who just got back today? Them wild eyed boys that have been away. Have they changed that much you say? I still believe they could pack the place They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy The Boys are back in town Remember that chick that used to dance alot Every night she'd be out on the floor shaking what she got When I say she was cool I mean she was red hot I mean she was steaming And that time over at Johnny's place Man that chichi got up and she slapped Johnny's face You can spread it all around the place If that chick don't want to go - forget her The Boys are back in town Spread the word around Guess who's back in town Saturday night they'll be dressed to kill Down at Dino's Bar and Grill Drinks will flow and blood will spill And if the boys wanna fight, you better let them The jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song It's getting warmer, it won't be long Won't be long till the summer comes Now that the boys are here again The Boys are Back in Town
I just finished "The Boys" and I found it to be quite enjoyable. If you are looking for typical super hero series, this is not it. Its a deconstruction of the genre, built back in a more cynicism/realist point of view. It reminds of a Deadpool a bit, how it satirize the current movie landscape minus Ryan Reynolds popping jokes every 90 seconds or the 4 wall breaks. Production wise it reminds me of Zack Snyder movies, especially with the series color correction through out. Which isn't my favorite but is only a nit pick. Another criticism I would say is that the main character isn't that interesting. Hes a typical "fish out of water" character that by the end series, doesn't really grow. Overall I like it, mostly because I have gotten "superhero fatigue" with the MCU and this comes off as a fresh take.
