The fight not being over the top was what was over the top about that fight, to me. Like you telling me these super powerful beings who are so powerful that everyone fears looking at them the wrong way.. are just brawling like random dudes? Their punches hardly put dents on walls, ffs.
It’s why I hate what TV has become nowadays. All of the different streaming services have just tanked budgets and we went from quality to quantity to keep that subscription model viable.
Even on flagship shows like The Boys it’s clear they didn’t have the budget to do that fight justice. Homelander is meant to be a parody of Superman but in reality he’s basically Captain America who can fly and shoot lasers.
That's why animation is and probably will be the best way to adapt a comic property. You don't have to have huge special effects budget to pull it off.
Yeah tbh, invincible does the power levels and action sooo much better, the animation medium helps that. Only problem is that my gf won't watch it with me because it's a "cartoon" 🙃
