    What’s the appeal of the boys? Doesn’t seem super interesting to me. All I know about it is that the Superman parody is what if we changed everything about superman

      I guess the appeal of The Boys to me is that it goes more into how “Super Heroes”. Would be exploited in a capitalist war fuelled society like the US. What happens when the people that are currently in power, would get access to such a thing. When it becomes about profit and image rather than the actual good of society. No sugarcoating whatsoever.
