Why it’s not as good as The Boys


The simple reason is that the main characters in this show aren’t nearly as charming as the main characters in the Boys

in The Boys, we have Butcher, Hughie, MM, Starlight, Homelander, and others. The characters are badass, likeable, funny, and overall interesting.

But here, we get annoying college-aged main characters who aren’t funny, interesting, or badass. The main character is a black girl with dreads, and she romantically involves herself with a transgender superhero. It’s clear they sought woke points

It was about as good as you're going to get in 2024 considering how utterly hobbled everything is right now.

As soon as things swing back round (This latest Disney revelation where they admit that they won't hire white males might help) maybe Hollywood can cast off the woke albatross and we can get stuff that is just made to be good (regardless of everyone's skin colour, sexuality and gender) again.

It's aimed at teens. Hence, it's shit.
