It was getting tired already after Kick-Ass and Super and that was what, 10 years ago?
They lost me a bit in Season 3, but the first season was awesome.Binged all three seasons the past month and kept asking myself why haven't I got into this series much sooner.
The Boys is a perfect balm for anyone who's feeling 'superhero fatique' from pop culture since the show both loves the genre but completely unsubtle in it's satire, kicking the genre in the balls every chance it gets.
Sidebar: I didn't realise how long I've loved Garth Ennis's work. One of the first comics I ever read was Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe and it blew my mind.
I found the latest season to be a big disappointment. The way they wrapped it up, it felt like "ha ha nothing actually changed and nothing the characters did mattered." Okay then why did I watch it?
I also don't feel like they're doing a great job with the whole parody aspect, the lack of character development in a lot of the leads has it feeling less like a parody and more just outright cringe. I'm not excited for another season of watching the same characters make the same stupid mistakes again, again.
