We already finished The Boys. I can't believe they were able to kill Homeland like that.

Interesting show. Looking forward to Season 2. Maybe they'll make the season a bit longer? 8 episodes is not enough.
I like the overall theme of The Boys. The inconsistency of the laser eyes bothers me, but that's about it so far.
Reminds me a bit of Brandon Sanderson's SteelHeart, but a little darker.
I think they take the idea in an interesting direction with the military connection, but I'm surprised that no one has drawn a connection to police brutality and gotten butt hurt over it.
Also, who is the character A-train based on? Is that a real super hero from some comic? Rick and Morty had Alan Rails in one episode, but I'm so far out of the super hero loop that I don't know who is making fun of whom.Quote:

Watched Aquaman on HBO last night. Kind of a fun watch !!

They do. Only when it fits an agenda. Other than that. Those who like this sort of show know it's just a series, or movie.Quote:
