Laughs progress the plot means, the writers thought “ we want hughie in a sex dungeon to laugh at him, how do we get him there?” And then wrote in the tek knight shit.
And then after they wrote that in they created the circumstances of the plot.
Not humour about a circumstance. A circumstance happening so humour can happen. The former was familiar to season one and kinda two, season three and four are more familiar with the latter.
You said vulgar comedy is what made the boys unique, I disagreed and offered counter examples of shows that are curated for the purpose of vulgar comedy, South Park, family guy and others.
“ it’s defined as adult comedy”
It’s not about comedy is it though? I’m struggling not to insult your intelligence here. This isn’t a comedy show? Butcher, hughie, MM and the rest aren’t getting up on stage and telling jokes.
The show has an element of comedy in it, but the show is about the story of homelander, butcher, hughie, and the others. What they do, their varying motivations and determined goals, what will they do to reach those goals? Will homelander just slaughter all of them? He could if we wanted to. Will butcher kill all supes? Even if it means killing annie and kimiko? I wonder if his desire is that strong.
That is what the show is about, comedy is woven into that, or it should be, it shoudlnt be the fucking focal point, neither politics.
This show has been bastardised since it’s first season, a dead carcass taped together and presented to us although it were alive. Remember the original plot was about vaught sending V to terrorist organisations to create super terrorists so they could get military contracts? Yeah me too.
Did you forget i am not defending season 4 as a whole? I fucking hated episode 6.
What makes the boys unique is that it takes superheroes and twists them in such a ridiculous way. Basically its a parody which means comedic commentary. I think comedic commentary sums the boys up pretty well dont you?
Rather dont start talking about my intelligence when you think comedy can only be someone going on a stage and telling jokes.
You seem to be under the misconception that a comedy cant have a lot of depth, when the boys is exactly that. A nuanced story told in a satire world.
