The Boys (2019– )
10/10
Great way of counteracting clean superheroes
28 June 2022
There's loads of clean super heroes out there living to be the best they can and saving the world.

The Boys takes the same idea and then counteracts this with them having egos and superiority complexes. The questions that are never asked in real super hero movies like what happens to those who die as collateral damage when a super hero intervenes. How are they held accountable for their actions?

The first scene takes in an accident where Hughie's girlfriend is killed by a superhero as he is heading somewhere. From here on we learn how little they really care about people and how they are self obsessed.

There's loads of shock and gore and swearing. Absolutely not for kids, it's so wrong in so many places. However it really is a great series with fantastic characters, captivating plot and some excellent ideas.
