Re: [Amazon] The Boys
I've got plenty of other stuff to watch too....but this one is in my top 5 easily, and I just can't wait to see what whacky adventures the boys get up to each week. It's a zany, laugh filled fun fest!

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
I was so mystified by the Zak Snyder filter they used for the S3 opener that I totally didn't recognize the actress that was playing Stormfront in the movie.
Hilarious. I will watch these every week as they air; I enjoy them tremendously.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
I can't wait for the spin off. And I've mentioned it before, but there's a serious of short animated films set in the universe of The Boys called Diabolical that's (mostly) fun.
I mentioned it before, but I think the show has surpassed the graphic novel series in terms of quality. The show has found a way to walk a fine line between absurdity and biting satire that the source couldn't pull off that well.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
I would assume superstrength in this world would convey a commiserate toughness in order to avoid such scenarios. But then again, I would have thought having the ability to shrink and grow to extreme sizes all your life would mean you had time to learn how to control that power when allergy season hit.
I was wrong. Painfully and gloriously inappropriately wrong.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
It's so great how current events fit so nicely into the current story line. The whole Blue Hawk story from this week felt a little too close to reality.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
What I love is that they address things by making them feel natural within the context of the characters and the world they live in. It doesn't feel forced at all. The show has really grown into its own. Sure, it's raunchy and gory and over the top...but it's surprisingly intelligent too.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
I was going to wait until it was finished to jump in, but found myself with lots of time in a hospital room yesterday as mom recovered from surgery. So now I'm caught up...just in time for what I understand will be one hell of an episode.
Holy shit, what an absolutely brilliant show. Not sure I've ever seen a villain as menacing as Homelander. Starr is absolutely amazing.
Still not quite the best fight scene with

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
Well...things certainly escalated quickly in this week's show (Herogasm). I thought the fight scene at the end was well done and I'm quite curious to see how it resolves.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
Great episode. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out.
After all the buildup, the main…um…scene was actually a bit tamer than I expected.

The main scene wasn't the main scene. It was just more build up. Spoilers for last night.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
I dont watch the show but kinda keep up with it through videos on YouTube. Is Homelander and the other main 7 perma powered or do they need injections all the time?

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
Basically the heroes/villains are all 'perma' powered because they were given "V" injections as children. That's 99.9% of the soups you are seeing. They don't keep injecting.
There are only (as of now) 2 normal guys that have gotten hold of a new expirmental form of "V" , "Temp-V" - which lasts about 24 hours it seems. And looks to be very habit-forming.

Didn't you just sign up for Prime? You could watch the show, right?

He’s a busy man. Lols
Honestly. Instead of clicking on YouTube videos for 4 hours every night, why not watch the first few episodes and see if it you can expand that attention span.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
Daehawk, they’re messing with you. The Boys is about 3 out of work arc welders all named Ted who get a house together in Trenton and spend their time solving missing cat reports and arguing about the weather. The YouTube trailers are misleading as heck.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
The good thing is you don't have to. Just watch a few trailers on youtube and then ask us what's happening on the show.

I believe the episode released today ("Here Comes a Candle to Light you to Bed") is the last of S3, yes.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
Son of a...
I guess the first 2 episodes can't be unseen before then. I have to admit though that the opening scene in the first episode was one of cinema's finest achievements. I'll get a second opinion on it when a friend visits sometime this weekend.

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
Still don’t understand why not starting it before the season is finished is so awful. Why not wait until the show is cancelled or calls it quits while you’re at it?

Re: [Amazon] The Boys
Because I might want to watch it all this weekend and not wait another week for the punchline? Leaving an episode or two hanging increases the chance that something shiny will come by and distract me and I'll never finish it.
I already watched the first 2 seasons, so waiting for it to finish isn't an issue. Besides, I've been screwed by enough shows that never finished but ended anyway for this not to be a consideration.

Holy shit, what a finale. I did not expect, well, any of that.
I think we can all agree on who the real villain is this season.
