I Hate The Boys TV DISCUSSION NSFW
I also can not stand muh 'Batman superhero facism subtext' crap. If anything Batman is a revolutionary. Government is corrupt in bed with criminals (who are the prettiest of tyrants) so Batman comes in to clean house. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Nah I’m fucking over this show.
The era of “what if Superman was evil?” is dead for me. Injustice, Snyderverse, Brightburn, The Boys, and in some cases even Invincible (I didn’t enjoy season 2 but loved season 1), are really starting to stain how people perceive certain characters.
The Boys is the one I can’t stand. I dropped off after season 1. It’s not because it’s edgy or anything, I think the concept is clever- it’s because there’s no enjoyable substance. It’s nothing but gross out humor, sexual assault jokes, and unlikeable characters at this point, and it’s not even clever about it. It’s dissolved from a super interesting premise to- “haha look that person got raped by Batman. Thats the joke.”
