The boys is the worst superhero show.
Not only did they make Superman (Homelander) look evil, they made all the superheroes look evil.
Solider Boy (Captain America)
Queen Maeve (Wonder Woman)
Sister Stage (Mr. Terrific)
The team of the Boys are just Bad as the Seven as well. Each character is terrible with their behavior and actions. Even characters like Hughie, A-Train, Starlight, Maeve, and Kimiko who had the worst redemption because they still did bad things.
This show does a terrible job of parodying these characters. They think they’re trying to subvert the tropes from Marvel & DC comics but they’re not, they're doing the same thing. There’s even spin-offs that are not worth watching either.
There could have been a better concept than the “evil superhero” trope. Such as:
Heroes who actually kill their main villains and still stay heroes.
Villains who are asexual and have no interest in sex or relationships.
Kids who want to be the superhero sidekick but won’t because of reality.
Villains don’t have a bad childhood or mommy/daddy issues, they are born being bad guys or they’re influenced by the evil people in the media.
Heroes who are kinky but still have happy healthy relationships with normal people or other superheroes. They even find pleasure when they’re being tortured and the villains are terrified of them.
Heroes who know the worst parts of humanity but still do the right thing.
Heroes who get their Vengeance and don’t feel any guilt or shame. They feel good and question what they do next.
