started up the new season of the boys

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

What a start to this shit

[zim]

it was a perfect start to the new season. i finished the third episode last night and i think it has one of the most disturbing/deranged scenes in the series

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

Starting episode 2 now. I will report back after episode 3.

Did you ever jam the comic zim?

[zim]

can't say i have, is it worth checking out?

[Noyka]

The show is honestly less depraved just because of one character change

I prefer the show antony starr’s performance is perfect

[zim]

homelander really does steal the show, the hard-on bearer is deranged

[Noyka]

The actor apparently isn’t very nice either. He assaulted someone in Spain and was sentenced to 12 months (suspended) in prison.

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

can't say i have, is it worth checking out?

Absolutely. It's in the top 3 of Garth Ennis' work behind preacher and his run on the punisher.

It runs around 70 issues or so, plenty of different collected editions in the trade paperback world.

[jawn galliano]

i just started the first episode and man i forgot how wild this show got by the end of season 2

[Noyka]

I am waiting until all season 3 is released to start watching

[jawn galliano]

oh dang i didn't realize they were staggering the episodes

[User]

the boys is the name of an excellent, very dark australian film from 1998

[zim]

oh dang i didn't realize they were staggering the episodes

gives me something to look forward to for a few weeks

[Corpsepyre]

The show's leagues better than the comic, really. I know it's by Ennis, but it felt like it was written by a 15 year old edgelord.

[jawn galliano]

sounds like garth ennis alright

[Noyka]

I HATED the comic to be blunt

I only checked out the show because my ex made me, I’m glad he did.

I started with s1e1 yesterday. Damn! NOT what I expected at all.
I had never heard of The Boys either.

Just know it gets weirder

[Noyka]

I caved and watched episode 1 all i can say that party scene rhat fucking party scene….

[zim]

every episode of season 3 has been great. episode 4 felt like half a season of content, can't wait for more

[Noyka]

I adorecthe stuff with homelander and butcher’s descent into villainy but anybody else just wanting Frenchie (the most interesting of the boys in season 1) to just fucking die? Kimiko’s stuff at least doesn't drag the show down compound v did steal her life but the relationship drama i just want to fast fast forward.

I just finished ep 4

[zim]

i don't mind the frenchie stuff but it's certainly not where i want any attention lately. i suppose it's nice they aren't completely abandoning him but yeah, lets focus on the important stuff

[Noyka]

I needed to rewarch ep 4 it was a lot to digest

I feel like every episode monus ep 3 has been that way

[jawn galliano]

still only seen the first two jawns

[zim]

season 3 was overall pretty good but it feels like they blew their load too early and the season finale was somewhat disappointing after all the build up

[Noyka]

Yeah the finale was a let down but def sets up some very interesting things for season 4

[Noyka]

I should add i don’t give a fuck about Ryan and next season will def heavily involve him. The other stuff should be good though.

[zim]

honestly didn't care for how they left things in the final episode, feels like we're just back at the beginning of the season

[jawn galliano]

hell yes they did a bit about the CIA's cocaine trafficking in the 80s (all real btw, they destroyed gary webb's career for reporting on it and later suicided him with 2 bullets to the head)

the off-brand cover versions of famous 80s songs in that flashback were fucking atrocious though. cheap fucks

[Mesarthim]

just got done watching this, kind of a slow start but once it got going I was hooked. Frenchie is the best character, hands down - hope to see more of him in Season 4
