Thread: The Boys

    Are you telling me that whole storyline with Cindy in the previous season was to soft launch a spinoff?

    I think that The Boys is gonna get tiresome if they go the Walking Dead route of spinning off shows. The trailer was meh, IMO.

    Maybe they should have put more effort into making season 3 suck less instead of starting a spinoff show that no one asked for.

    Yeah, I'm not sure this spin-off can be half as interesting as The Boys without Butcher, Homelander or anyone from the "main cast"

    Seeing Perdomo and Sinclair from Chilling Adventures was all I need to give this show a shot.

    The music and editing of that trailer are just sending teenage drama vibes with some The Boys make up slapped onto it. Feels like it's gonna be a generic teenage show tbh... but who knows.
    Then again, the Title "Gen V" already sent that vibe, so I guess this just reinforces it.

    Literally the only character I recognized was Ashley and she is quite possibly the most obnoxious character in the series.

    Diabolical is actually a pretty entertaining animated series of episodes. The first couple in particular are really good, though the one produced by Awkwafina I thought was shite. The last episode was good because it diverted from the crass humor of the franchise, kept some of the crazy brutality but told a story in a style more akin to a Japanese or Korean anime.

    Hmm -- doesn't look like they're toning down the violence in the spin-off. Hopefully they can land the sense of humor and social commentary aspect from the OG series without being too stereotypically YA-ish. I'll be checking it out for sure.
