They renewed Doom Patrol, which is amazing and far from CW in tone. I don't buy that they're looking for CW style shows.

That's hard competition he's up against every British actor in America

I think the only British actor to ever do an even halfway believable American accent was Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York, because we all have no idea what the fuck they sounded like back then but it seemed appropriate.
Wait, just remembered: the UK actors in The Wire did pretty passable jobs but they were all way too excessive. Too deliberate. If you had a curt discussion with them on a Baltimore street you probably wouldn't give it a second thought, but having a discussion for more than several minutes you;d be like "why is this guy speaking like someone pretending to be from Baltimore?".

Haha at the doogie howser reference.
Also I watched half of the episodes in 1080p. Stupid amazon needs to fix this stupid thing where they have different 4K/hdr and 1080p listings for shows

Finished it just now.
What a series. This and Doom Patrol are such amazing surprises of 2019.
Also, Homelander shits on 99 % comic book villains that have popped up in recent years.

It's kind of crazy how irredeemable he is. Many writers try to at least make their villains somewhat an anti hero these days. You know, the Lex Luthor "the bad guy of the story thinks he's the good guy" dribble. This guy doesn't have a good bone in his body and the writers didn't shy away from that, and Starr appeared to know exactly what they wanted. But he didn't play it in a moustache-twirling fashion. I hope Starr gets a lot more parts in the coming years because he was fantastic.

Probably the best show I've seen all year. Top quality and binged watched it the last 2 days.
I also thought there might have been an implacation from the recording of Becca coming out of the room with Homelander that it may have been consensual, plus the fact they were in the room for 3 hours. My girlfriend didn't get that though.

End spoilers
Homelander isn't capable of regular human relationships, so I don't think the encounter between him and Butcher's wife was consensual. Seems a lot more likely something really terrible went down between them but she had to agree to hide it all and suppress the aftermath
She could have looked distressed because
she just cheated on her husband
If we consider which fits what we know
1 - Becca is raising the boy and never reached out to Butcher that we know of
2 - We have no idea what Becca's motives are right now
3 - The only person that has claimed it was rape was the old lady (Voidt?) who put together the original Boys, and we also don't know her motives

I think it's intentionally up in the air what happened or why it happened
Shh, between you me, don't tell em I was being sarcastic.
It's a great show.
Homelander was scarier and more menacing in that one abroad scene than Zod ever was in MoS. That serial killer smile is terrifying
It's interesting that he almost exclusively uses heat vision

at one point Butcher told some that Homelander raped his wife. I think he was telling Huey to convince him to stay with the group. So I guess. I took it as Becca told him before she went missing.
Oh he definitely
has been operating on the thought that it was rape, which is why he's looking so confused at the end. I figure the old lady that put together the original group could have lied to him
yeah I could definitely see that being the case, as Butcher seems have learned all his unethical tricks from her
I've been going back and forth on this myself. But really, he's a sociopath, he may not viewed it as that. Even though it happened that way
That was really good. I need season 2 now after how that ended. I honestly never expected to come out of this so up and positive on the show but damn. I figured they'd tone down the show compared to the comics but I didn't think they'd just veer off in their own direction while still pulling from it. This works really well. I said before I thought the original idea and overall premise and story behind The Boys was interesting. It's just how it's done in the comic that is negative.
Just finished episode 1. I think I may just binge watch. I fucking knew that shit was gonna happen.
you're trying to blackmail peeps who control the super. If you know about the secret compound V then maybe you should know about how the supes are shit people
Homelander is too petty and was wat to jealous of that baby to let it leave
He probably would incinerated the baby himself but Rogen and Kripke are cowards

Not a fan of The Female plotline at all. The Deep got kinda underused aswell. I enjoyed yesterday's watch (ep 1-3) much more than today's (4-6).
The series pretty just takes the premise, world and characters of the book and do their own thing it's very different from the book and tones down the Ennis
Totally believe it was consensual. Homelander may not be capable of regular relationships, but he sure knows how to fake it. Remember, his whole thing is that he's acting. With only a few people that know what he's trurly like. He would rather kill someone than risk being found out. His image is the most important thing.
So it got the Wanted treatment basically? Well then I guess its whether the show that came about is actually any good. I'm getting burnt out on the amount of superhero related stuff so I'm not sure I want to dive into something that doesn't really earn my time. Even some of the more popular shows on here have kind of left me cold.
Cops and robbers show in rural America by way of Quentin Tarantino.
It's pulp as fuck, but in the greatest possible way.
It's way more faithful than Wanted, that only had the basic plotlines and the main characters name and I guess the beginning.
You could at least tell The Boys was made from the comic
Did they keep characters like Love Sausage and the Nazi Superman
No. It's faithful to the comic, while also improving upon how the comic treated the premise, and trading gratuitous edginess for effective drama and nuance
Nazi Superman was the love child of Shazam and thor and no or at least they haven't appeared yet
