I don't have to watch ANY to know that you liked it, but you feel dirty about liking it, and so you had to come here and whine knowing that I would punish you.
Either that...or you are in the closet and you want JSF or 6ix's attention. I mean they are pretty much all that's left here and they speak Incel-ese...
You can all get together and circle jerk while chanting "social justice warriors are bad, social justice warriors are baaaad".
What a buncha freaks

Wow... the self delusion on display w/ this willful ignorance is impressive.
Category 1 Dunning Kruger derangement status achieved.
So lacking in self awareness of where you are ( Fireflyfans.net ) and the reason for anyone posting ANYTHING on this site , you've constructed this universe around in which anyone gives 2 flips about you at all.
I'm posting about ' other science fiction series ' related shows. The Boys LITERALLY just dropped, a few days ago, and I thought it worth while to start a thread on it.
Watch it, or don't, I really don't care. But don't come here tossing round insults and yapping on matters which you have no clue of and expect any more ' attention ' from me.
Psycho.

Don't worry Rappy. The tide is turning and we're all going to look back and laugh at the 2010's as a pathetic and failed social experiment.
I'm already laughing about it all the time now. Why bother bitching about it and/or getting frustrated over it when it's only a matter of time before God Money steps in and corrects everything?

I'm not even getting into spoilers for those who've not seen it yet. I finished the series ( only 8 eps ) last night.
Gary , from Nerdrotic, was saying how glad he was there was no politics in the show, and as he had just seen the pilot, back in May, that's mostly true. For the most part. I started this thread after having seen a few eps, and there was 1 in particular which gets a bit preachy, but after that, it gets back to the story.
Overall, it's refreshingly NON P.C. , with what amounts to an ep or so w/ some ' wokeness ', but it's just enough to appease the Hollywood gods with a bit of self flagellation. With all the garbage we've seen from Captain Mary Sue, Bat-wahman, etc... it looked like a decent series was about to be polluted w/ the standard garbage we're getting these days, but that's not a running theme w/ this 1st season. Thankfully.

My big question - Why did Butcher's wife keep this all a secret ? Did Vought Int'l force her to go into hiding, or was this all her idea from the start ? Seems even Homelander didn't know, and assumed he couldn't knock anyone up, was this all some scheme ? Were he and Mrs. Butcher carrying on an affair ? Very good cliffhanger for next season!

not getting into the politics or the S/He movement with you kids...but to weigh in on just how sick and porno hollywood has gone.
I will accept that I'm just an old prude at this point..but I had been looking forward to the series based on the previews...solid cast of well-paid actors/actresses and Amazon's money behind it.
I bailed on the first episode when they entered the nightclub and some antman guy did a flying leap into...I had reluctantly stuck around that long, thinking it might get better after his girlfriend gets vaped into blood on the street curb, and aqua boy is standing there cranking up his candy cane in anticipation of some conference room roundtable work with AC/DC girl..and by the way..what's with the crappy homemade costumes?!
anyway.. I'm an old guitar slinger who enjoyed many bar nights, finally settled down and made 4 kids of my own...so likely not the prude you may think, but this stuff is just trashy, porn for nerds that never mentally made it past age 13...what is amazing is that there are a number of actors in there that have made the big screen..they are choosing to do this.. I'm sure the money is good, but they could and can get better grade of work...co-workers tell me it didn't get any better, in fact, got worse ..and that's as much as we can discuss in the workplace about it given the very strict HR rules of corporate america today and just plain decency...I've warned friends and family NOT to watch this stupid, cheap and blatant porn series..and it's dang close to making me pull the Prime app from my stream.

oldguy - I'm not a comic book guy, but I understand that the source material is FAR more graphic than what's on the screen, so there's that to be thankful.

And yet sex parties between consenting adults scare you. You must be a Conservative. And more of a prude than Rappy, which is saying something.
No one is allowed to have sex or portray it in any way but the ways you say so or you'll get mad and ALMOST delete an app?
That's what I got from your post. This is a fantasy world where people are supposed to ignore themselves and ...? have Missionary sex only??
You have ANY understanding that you have stepped into Fascist territory? Seriously, you don't like it, FINE, say you don't like it. It REALLY REALLY is not up to YOU to be the arbiter of other people's entertainment or choices in ANYTHING.
What I find interesting is that 13% of the people voting the show 1 star are people that probably just could not deal with them portraying "superheroes" as anything other than shiny-happy-perfect people.
Fuck you, Disney...You are responsible for this

Watched the first two episodes. I'm on board. Loving it so far.
A few pretty dumb choices that I think they made so far, but if you're suspending disbelief far enough to enjoy the show, you can overlook them.

BTW... the scene that sticks out in my mind as the dumbest decision isn't the hilariously over the top #MeToo bullshit, but a dumb gore joke scene that wasn't necessary AND would have lead to the death of the main character if any of this were real life.
Spoiler alert, although I'll try to be non-spoilery as possible...
I'm referring to the death of Translucent. Worst scene in the first two episodes.
Diamond alloy hard skin that is impenetrable and makes him invincible?
Shouldn't Dennis Quaid's son be a blood splatter on the wall too after they "turtled" him?
I mean, at the very least, shouldn't there have just been an invisible man-shaped impenetrable shell lying on the ground, with maybe a little bit of invisible blood leaking out here or there? Or maybe the blood would be visible? Not sure how the rules of invisibility actually work. When he drank water, what didn't dribble out of the cup was immediately invisible when he drank it, but his pee was visible the second it left his body.... so probably visible blood leaking out of the human shaped impenetrable shell.
I'm probably being too nitpicky, but I personally I think that it was a bad choice to take you out of the believablity of the show for a dumb blood gag.

The little Asian maniac was a welcome addition to the team. 
I've got to disagree with Oldguy's take on the show. I'm the guy who has never seen the sequel to Silence of the Lambs in full because it was the only movie I've ever turned off in disgust. I don't watch torture porn, and I live by the words of Futurama's Bender, "Once you've watched it, you can't unwatch it".
I was pretty hesitant to watch it at first, given Oldguy's review and what my brothers had told me about it, but I'm glad my old man had me watch the first few episodes with him. It's obviously fake, when there is any blood, and it's pretty minimal.
Aside from my two gripes above, I don't have any other problems at all with the show, and I'm now through 7 of the first 8 episodes.
I'd say the thing that bothers me most about experiencing The Boys is the sad truth that if there were people with super powers in our future, this sort of commercialization and the lies and corruption that come with the money would be pretty much exactly how everything would play out.
It's one of those things that I sit back and enjoy and think to myself, "Man... as cynical as you are, you could have wrote this yourself and had a million bucks in your pocket right now".
Here's hoping they don't leave episode 8 on a cliffhanger, since we know full well here more than anybody else how much the assholes in suits just love cancelling great shows in the middle of their runs.

What the hell just happened in the last 3 minutes there?
Did Butcher's wife skip town for 7 years, take her kid and hide from both Butcher and Captain Asshole?
I guess the story that she was raped was just a lie Butcher was telling himself and everyone else for years too?
Wasn't too broke up about seeing Adventures in Babysitting get what she deserved.
Bezos better fund season 2. That's not an acceptable end to the series.
