If you are looking for jokes that are at a level that children can understand, like Marvel productions, where the dose of violence is adjusted, and all kinds of pranks, you are in the wrong place. Because the superheroes you will see in The Boys at first work not for the good of society, but for the company founded by a former Nazi scientist named Vought International, and they are glorified in the eyes of the society with all kinds of PR jobs you know. Since money is involved, heroism is practiced as a profession. As you can see, it is possible for them to prevent criminals, if it is within the scope of their duty, there is no one running for their good like Batman or Spider Man.
The Boys
Vought International; It was founded by Frederick Vought, who, as Hitler's chief scientist, conducted unethical experiments on humans during the Second World War, and thanks to the drug he developed, he mutates people and enables them to have superpowers. Superheroes, which are used to reduce the crime rate over time and are one of the main income items of the company, not only prevent criminals, but also cause unpredictable loss of life and property.
Our main boy Hughie, whom we met in the first episode of the series, also falls victim to the benediction of the superhero A-Train, loses his lover, and turns the matter, which he was wise at first, into a vendetta over Vought's brazen attitudes. And that's where Billy the Butcher comes in, a former British soldier and his wife, who thinks they've been killed by the superhero leader, Homelander. Billy first offers to spy on Hughie, but over time he involuntarily lets him be part of the team. Although The Boys is famous for having "gore" elements in which both villains and occasionally superheroes die or get injured badly, it has a much more oppositional and harsh style than many TV shows that openly emphasize that its issue is system criticism, and you can often tell this implicitly. or, thanks to Hollywood clichés, he can do it without feeling. And despite all the sending and criticism, the non-didactic series started broadcasting in 2019 and was broadcast for two seasons. Season 3 is currently live on Amazon.
