It's the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about "The Seven," and Vought - the multibillion dollar conglomerate that manages these superheroes.

Terrafamilia April 29, 2019 Share April 29, 2019 On Saturday night during Cartoon Network's Toonami block there was what looked like a goofy Japanese commercial for what may have been soy sauce with someone who very well have been Chace Crawford jumping around and eating sushi. The fine print on the screen said it was a fictitious product. Since he was wearing what looked like his costume from this show I was scratching my head wondering if it was part of the show's marketing campaign. I looked around a bit online but couldn't find it.

Expand It's toned down a lot from the comics it's based on, because there is no way they'd get away with that in this era. And I wouldn't want to watch any of it. So I'm glad they changed a lot of it. They had to modernize it with the #MeToo movement for what happens to one character. To answer your question, misogyny is present on this show. However pretty much most of the characters are awful people. They did racebend and genderbend some of the characters, A-Train was white in the comics and Mallory and Stillwell were men. They are also genderbending Stormfront a new character in Season 2. But I don't like that they depowered their Wonder Woman stand in. Queen Mauve could do much more than just stand around in Homelander's shadow. But I do hope they don't plan on doing any of the stories from her in the comics because they are horrible. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94863-the-boys-in-the-media/#findComment-5503682
