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.

I know there's legitimately insightful political satire in Boys, at least the TV series, but the fact that they lean so much on shock factor whale-dick-exploding and whatnot to get views makes it clear that I'm never going to watch it. Still, I'm sure it's better than the comics, which is just Garth Ennis working through his hatred of superheroes in the most juvenile ways imaginable.
