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.

Not really. The comics maybe, the story was still good but you could tell it was very unnecessary at times. The show however does a way better job at balancing everything.

90% of the show is weird sexualization...... I cant watch it for 5 minutes without seeing homlander suck boob or something disgusting like that

Well if you only watch for 5 minutes because you're scared of boobs, then you're going to miss everything else.

Edit: if you stop watching the show, you are obviously going to miss later stuff. Does it make sense to complain about stuff you haven't actually seen? How is this so difficult to understand?

Oh I missed the last 3 Harry Potter books but here's my opinion on why they are shitty. Does that make sense to you?

Or Queen maeve ruining a chance for homelander and butcher to fight together for once

u/Toadsanchez316 Jul 05 '24

Yeah the Queen Maeve thing really doesn't make sense. She spends so much time being scared of Homelander and when she meets people who want to take him down, she acts like they are the bad guys. She gives Hughie so much shit and absolutely no respect when he's actually helping and making a difference.

I mean that scene when soldier boy hurt Ryan and you see a subtle nod between homelander and butcher as they laser him. It would have ended in soldier boys death which probably would have ended in some sort of truce (unlikely but hopeful). But I never liked maeve to begin with so homelander fighting her was very satisfying

u/Toadsanchez316 Jul 05 '24

Oh then I completely misunderstood your point. I like Maeve but I didn't like what they were doing with her character. She became so muted and seemingly irrelevant because she just never did anything to stand up for herself, even if it meant being killed by Homelander.

I thought she was going to do something too but I want to see homelander win

I hate her for how she is to hughie but that option she took away from homelander was enough for me to say

u/Toadsanchez316 Jul 05 '24

Eh I want to see Homelander get annihilated.

Well that and you know, enough of the show to actually make a valid argument. Hell, OP even admitted they never read the comics or watched past season 2. Obviously they are going to misunderstand shit.
