>>83518764
That page is a culmination of many many things that came before. But yeah, it's a pretty edgy series.

>>83518764
The series is set between 2006–2008[1] in a world where superheroes exist. However, most of the superheroes in the series' universe are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. For this reason, a superpowered CIA squad, known informally as "The Boys", is charged with monitoring the superhero community; the name is Butcher's contribution, a reference from his neighborhood that those in power would send "the boys" to handle anyone causing trouble.

It's edgy as fuck, but it's a decent edge, not just pointless murderfest, there are some neat moments and characters too. It helps that protag is the opposite of edge.

>>83519770
The founder was thinking of calling it "team X" or some generic shit like that, saying it didn't matter at all what they were called, it was just for the paperwork (they are funded by the CIA after all). Butcher suggested why not just call it "the boys" at that point.

Black Summer is just fap material for the anti bush crowd.

Ellis is just a politically impotent cucks that likes to write lots of stories about political coups for he does not agree with.

He did it in authority, he did it transmit, and he did it in black summer.

This is a good reason, but he doesn't actually abide by this, he just says he does.

The Boys still have super powers, it's still a small handful of moral and exceptional people holding 'baddies' to account.

Plus he fellates soldiers like nobodies business, to the point where he elevates them to what is essentially superhero status.

The Boys aren't moral though, MC is but the rest of them? I don't really remember what MM's deal is, but Female is a psycho, Frenchie is inane, and Butcher is, well, Butcher.

> he fellates soldiers like nobodies business
Yeah, he does that a lot.

What people seem to forget when comparing The Boys to other edgy superheroes is that The Boys is meant to be a black comedy. I doubt that the TV show will be able to combine comedy and "realistic" superheroes in an entertaining way; it's doomed to fail.

>>83522268

Garth Ennis is a hack that only produces edgy garbage. I read crossed and dropped it after 3 issues. In trying to prove that comics aren't for children gareth ennis swung too far. Overly gratuitous violence and sex is just as juvenile as standard comic book fare.
You cannot refute this.

>>83518764
What's wrong with edgy?

>>83523074
They're more far, far moral than the people they go after.

We're repeatedly told The Female is 'psychotic' but we never see her hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it, nor really demonstrate any behaviour associated with psychopaths. She's a sociopath in the same 'good guy who murders people', audience-friendly way that Dexter is, not an actual sociopath.

Same with Frenchie, he's clearly detached from reality, but still fundamentally moral and in control of his actions, you never see him suddenly snap and break Hughie's arms because he thought they were made of snakes, or randomly slaughter a bunch of civilians with his super strength because a firework triggered memories of his days in the Legion, for example, so whilst he's very eccentric in his behaviour and violent if provoked (yet never demonstrates a short temper), he's still very much sane by real-world standards.

'Psychopathic' and 'insane' apparantly mean 'a bit wacky' in Ennis' mind.

Mother's Milk and Hughie are both full-on lawful good.

Butcher is basically just the Punisher with super powers. Tragic backstory to justify the people he attacks? Check. Military background to make his sprees seem professional and sympathetic? Check. Gets accused of going to far, but the people who do this are either too weak or corrupt to do WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE™? Check. Ultimately vindicated in his violence? Check.

He's really the only morally grey one, but even then, we're repeatedly shown just how much the people he hurts/kills deserve everything he does to them, at least until the very end of the comic.

They're just a super hero team with the dark 'n gritty filter turned up a few notches. When Ennis says he hates super heroes, he just means his hates bright colours (other than 'arterial red') and criminals being put into prison rather than a closed casket.

>>83523294
Yeah. It's a bit like all the worries about the creation of AI super-intelligences. They created a super-human intelligence, gave it super-human capabilities, then told it to solve a problem.

And it did. They just didn't like the solution.

>>83523310
He said he created it out of frustration of how so many nerds think a zombie apocalypse would be cool and they'd run around killing hundreds of slow, easily killable zombies, saving qt grills who wouldn't talk to them before and having a great time. He wanted a version where no one would ever imagine it as fun.

Isn't attributing arbitrary subjective values to maturity, beyond being independent and self-sufficient, in itself a sign of immaturity?
King of like kids staying up late because it's the "mature thing to do which makes them look mature".

Crossed isn't the only thing Ennis done. I liked Punisher MAX the most out of his stuff I read. Boys was okay too, but a bit too full of itself. Preacher got too preachy for me, ironically. Never had any desire to read Crossed.

>>83523602
I'm kind of sorry my post made you write such a long rebuttal. I mean yeah, you're right though Butcher does snap in the end but that's why he needed Hughie for, but I guess it makes sense if you consider that that's how Ennis writes flawed characters? I mean, maybe it's the marketing angle he hates with super-heroes, The Boys' ones are just a product, after all.

>>83523903
>Isn't attributing arbitrary subjective values to maturity

No, that's basically what defines maturity.

>>83524718
So narcissism and egoism define maturity?
I think that's a pretty pitiful outlook which is at the core of the problem of depression and anger management issues growing exponentially from the teenage years and onward.
Midlife Crisis comes as a result of realizing that such mindset is idiotic, and i think it's better to cut such mental poison early rather than wait for half your life to pass until you grow out of your 2nd teenage faze - "adulthood" with strong emphasis on the Irony punctuation.

It reminds me of what Mark Millar did with Kick-Ass.

Then he has Kick-Ass survive a ridiculous amount of damage, basically gaining his own superpowers of metal plates in his bones and insensitivity to pain, and introduces Big Daddy and Hit-Girl who are the definition of unrealistically skilled vigilantes who kill the hundreds of baddies with their badass ninja gear.

When Hughie infiltrates the G-Wiz or whatever that kid X-men knock-off third grade team was called, there's a scene where one of them is peeing on the others. "Hey look, I'm whizzing on G-Wiz!". They were drunk, maybe? There was an important point about superheroes not really understanding limitations or something, but I honestly don't remember.

>>83525866
I wouldn't call it contrived or anything, The Endless play a major part in the DCU. It was handled well, at least, same with the SMT story where Dream meets Wesley Dodds.

>>83525340
But you are the one obsessed over personal image and looking "grownup".

I state that attempting to look and appear grownup is in itself immaturity and a mental poison.

Let's say that a person is edgy yet equally, if not more, as successful as you are. That means that a person, which you perceive as having a defect, is still preforming as you are or even outperforming you. The conclusion then is that edginess has no bearing on anything, except a target of scorn for you to feel better about yourself, which is also an immature and childish trait.

>>83525899
I remember a frat type party at some point and they were all a little gay for each other in the G-Wiz.

>>83525502
Way better than Zack Snyder's.

>>83526105
Snyder wants to give his Superman a story arc, but it's not entirely clear what it is at this point.
I'd honestly argue it's one of the best ways Superman has ever been written. He's a flawed character that really wants to do dome good. However, given the circumstances and what's at stake, he's bound to trip and fall at some points.

>>83525967
The only reason to like edgy shit is immaturity. Doesn't matter how big your pay cheque is, you're still an edgy little faggot if you go in for "hurrr i love this comic because its so dark and nihilistic and REAL like my soul. also i wear black" bullshit like Ennis peddles.

>>83526390
That's not why people like The Boys tho. They like it because it's set in a legitimately interesting universe and stars interesting characters. Even Edgelord Billy Butcher is fairly well written.

>>83526390
The Boys aren't anything like that. You can argue that Punisher is like that, but The Boys is more funny and self-aware (except when it's not, Ennis really likes ranting about stuff sometimes).

>>83526215
MoS was about Clark growing up from being a guy from Kansas with strange powers and searching his purpose on Earth to a superhero who embraces his destiny and saves the world. The character arc in BvS is about Clark learning to deal with aftermath of that: the burden of being a public superhero and thus the object of political interest and controversy. He learns that despite his powers, he can't always do the right thing and save everyone. People will still die because he is fallible. A true hero is one who may fall down but just gets back up again.

When Superman saves the child from the burning apartments, he is surrounded by dead people embracing him, even worshipping him. But Superman doesn't happily take it all with a smile. In fact, he reluctantly turns his head away in what appears to be him feeling some sort of dread or pain.

I think this is Superman realizing that he is surrounded "by the dead". That he is so different from them, they will know death, he will not. Maybe it's even part shame, knowing that our fates are set in stone while his isn't. A God among men. But he also desires to be one of us.

In his fight against Batman, Batman says "you don't know what it means to be brave. Men are brave". And this is true to some extent. An immortal God figure cannot be brave as there is no risk involved. "It's time you learn what it means to be a man" means coming face to face with death, which is what separates Superman from man. If he can't do that, then he cannot be brave and he cannot be man.

This dilemma of death is eventually adressed in the climax of the film, as he comes to terms with his own mortality, and pays the ultimate price of a human being. Superman becomes man. Superman overcomes the final trial. And that is accepting his own death. And this is when Batman finally recognizes Superman as man.

Bravo Snyder

>>83526390
>The only reason to like edgy shit is immaturity.
I disagree. Maturity is also the ability and wisdom to recognize that everything has a positive and negative, and that looking at things and phenomena for their negatives only is immature and narrow-minded.
For us to discern why you show such unwarranted and perturbed discontent towards edginess, it also helps looking at some positive that edginess possesses.

- Fearlessness - Whether having no fear of other people's opinions, or no fear of being yourself, to be edgy requires lack of fear towards the surroundings and the steadfastness to be yourself. The lack of fear towards being ostracized by a few narrow-minded people.
- Freedom - To act in life in a free manner without constraints, whether of principles or ideology or otherwise, the key point is not being shackled by the surroundings or by fear.

These are the two core positive i can name.
To define a person who is opposite of this, or rather who feels intimidated by this, i can only use the world: Cuck.

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

Man, imagine wasting your fucking time arguing about maturity over The Boys.

Their own deficiencies in other words.

In the end, we came to the conclusion that the kind of person who dislikes edginess is the kind of person who is submissive, narcissistic, and fears the opinions of the surroundings. All traits of a cuckold.

>>83528013
I don't think they will do it, Alan Moore was okay with publishing miracleman again only if he wasn't named.

Besides we already got a Miracleman adaptation, MoS. Snyder is a fan of Moore and probably adapted a part of it into his movie.

I am talking about a company here. The company handsomely pays these heros. Plus, these heros are an asset to them. Hell, they even "revived" a hero which is supposed to cost a fortune and yet they can't find the time and resources to properly train them? If you read the comic you'd know they even made this mistake once before by sending heros to the front lines of WW2 only to get slaughtered since they weren't trained properly.

It's more that the guy who created Miracleman, Mick Anglo, was (much like Moore himself) cheated out of the rights of the character. When he got the job to write it he was assured they'd had the rights, but turns out they didn't. It's why the series spent so many years in limbo, different parties fighting for it, until Marvel came in and solved it somehow.

So Moore allowed his portion to be reprinted, but he demanded not to be credited (so as to not steal anymore from Anglo's thunder; plus he's had some bad blood with Marvel anyway) and that any of the money that should go to him be given to Anglo's family instead.

With the way you are acting and writing, you don't qualify as a judge of such things.

>If you think that the reason that people don't eat babies is because they are afraid of what other will think
You said before that you didn't imply violence in fiction equates to violence in real life,
yet here you are pushing the discussion into exactly that direction.
Not only are you more edgy than the people you accuse of the same, you can't even manage to have any consistency.

>>83530338
>yet here you are pushing the discussion into exactly that direction

No, I'm not. Read what I wrote dumbass. My critique is on this (>>83526616) autistic/ sociopath statement. There is no doubt a lot to be said on the concept of fear and freedom, but if you think people don't eat babies or do whatever other shit anyone one wants to classify as "bad" simply because they are afraid of social norms or lacking freedoms or whatever....YOU ARE FUCKED IN THE HEAD. You sound like a alien who has never interacted with people before.

You will always have fear and always have constraints. Be that societal (laws, norms), physical (physical laws, biological laws, chemical laws), or self-imposed (your own ideas). Sure a guy eating a baby is "edgy", but that wasn't my point. I'm calling you EDGY because you are trying to equate eating babies (or whatever the fuck) as some weird issue abstract notions of FREEDUM and FEAR. It's fucking dumb.

First off fearlessness and freedom aren't inherently some positive things. There are plenty of cases where fear is good and freedom is bad. SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING?

Plus the weird framing of that little diatribe makes its seem like the only thing keeping you from being a serial killer is a law that says you can't kill. Which would make either autistic or a sociopath.

Seriously, you think like a small fucking child.

inb4 BUTT MUHHFREEDUM ARE ALWASY DA BEST AND FEAR IS ALWAYS BAD AND I LIBERTARIAN! GARY JOHNSON

Yeah...you're a fucking child and you think like a child. That's the reason you like EDGY SHIT and the reason people call you EDGY! You're immature.

>>83531150
>No, I'm not.
Yes you are. You genuinely deluded yourself into thinking that this discussion is about defending real life depictions of violence rather than limited strictly to fiction; and you keep sticking to it despite being called out on it because that's the only way you can feel important and superior.

Just look at your wall of text, complete loss of emotion, reason, fueled by an aggressive superiority complex and an urge to insult other people.

I've seen teenagers less triggered and prone towards belittling and insulting other people than you, yet you think you are a judge on edginess.

Truly infantile.

First, learn to converse in a rational manner.
I really truly believe that even most teenagers have a more "adult" way of writing and speaking than you are portraying here, since we are talking about maturity here.
Second, edginess pretty much is characterized by freedom to think controversially and accept concepts and phenomena that make someone like you butthurt enough to make a wall of text of virtue signaling and moralizing. If it challenges the fragile glass walls of people like you, and you respond in the way you respond to it with a complete loss of emotion and control, then edginess has served its purpose well. It has showcased that there are people out there like you who pose with fake maturity and are merely frauds on a narcissism and egoism trip.

>>83527334
