The Boys on Amazon Prime

Just finished it too. Thought it was really good! Agree on the abrupt ending, no doubt there will be a season 2.

Amazon Prime has some great shows.

Fleabag is surprisingly good. Seems like it's for women but every guy I know who watched it loved it. Definitely a not for watching with kids or your parents type of show.
 
I've watched it and it is very well done. I'm still not sure how I feel about it - unfortunately the superheroes are probably based how they would act in real life. They have given super powers to a bunch of screwed up human beings - maybe based on professional athletes.

But it was the superpowers that screwed them up. They were given the powers as babies. So they wernt screwed up then (maybe theirs parents were?).

I agree that this is exactly how it would end up in real life. Someone would try to make a fortune off of their powers. One difference is that based off how the pharma industry works, theres no way that they wouldnt be telling the supes that they had to keep taking that stuff to keep their powers (dont think most of them ddid). The corporation would need to maintain control.
 
Most of my buddies are big into the superhero movies. I am definitely not. We all like this show. Carry on.
 
I LOVE me some Karl Urban... It looks fantastic and will start it today.

Been watching Last Czar (netflix) which is reasonable well done... About the Romanovs so it's a little docudrama but is interspersed with historians putting things into context.

Also - The Big Hack is a SCARY documentary about how we've long ago given up privacy and are at the whim of anyone trying to manipulate you.
I've been curious about the last czar.
 
Give me season 2 already! I love comic book movies and this was a cool different take on it all. I'm glad there will be another season.
 
Thought the show started stronger than it ended. I really lilked it then went to eh. Probably wont watch season 2.

Think its well done series but they are already reaching.

I'll watch season 2, but the whole international terrorist plot was a reach. Had they stuck to just their own issues and the steroids, I think it would have been more entertaining. Still overall, I enjoyed it.

My take after watching them all, kinda loved all of the OMG and WTF moments. Lots of me going "Damn".

The ending was quite the twist from the twisted evil POS Mr. Homelander, although it is the end result of the evil corporation.

You should have let A-Train die. To beat these folk you can't be that soft. JFC, Homelander just fried his mommy figure and let her baby get blown up. I know it feeds the "See, Starlight" I am not a murderer guy" take for Hughie but come-on he will out super gal.

I actually think the terrorist thingie is okay. Makes it more than just a simple revenge and corruption line and it is the result of the corruption and evilness that is Homelnader so it fits.

Not sure what's going to happen with Butcher. His wifey dearest is alive, not dead and killed by Homelander. Plus she looks to have been hero banging him, not raped. And she has a sup boy, Kidlander. Damn, dude, you are ******.

Quite the turn for The Deep as first introduced. Creepy dude is almost a sympathetic, although somewhat pathetic, character now after multiple "damn, dude" scenes (the dolphin, the lobster, the gill assault).

Makes the Feds job of shutting them down a million times harder though.
 
Best OMG moments.

Robin being A-Trained into hamburger. :eek:

The whole airplane scene once it goes bad.

Butcher using the baby supe as a ray gun.

Kimiko giving A-Train the compound fracture. You go cray cray girl!

Homelander frying mommy.

Seems like if they stuck closer to the source material, it would be a better product. They could still tone down some of the gratuitous sexual content.
