They might know what they are doing after all. πŸ˜„

Oh, I don't doubt that. It's a good show. I only wish the series had more of the The Boys spirit - the comic deserves it.

I'm like 99% sure that The Boys are gonna get their hands on stabilized V compound just like they had in the comics from the start.

Obviously. As I said, I like the story. In some ways it's better than the original. In the comic the way Butcher recruits team members is kind of whimsical. In the series it's a very personal crusade and he is desperate and is prepared to use anyone and anything.

My problem is that - apart from the first half of the first season - the spirit of the comic is not there. All that funny, dark, obscene mayhem. That's what I loved about it - not all the conspiracies, comic book references and obvious political bias.
Not to mention that they discarded something like 99.99999999999% of all sex.

I am a comic book fan but I never read in The Boys. I'm glad because I'm loving this show and lots of ppl who read the book seem to have issue with many of the decisions; expectations are not being met. I get it I would probably be in the same boat had I read the source material first. It's happened a bunch.

reply

Yeah, other than the Stormfront arc, it didn't seem like much was happening in Season 2. This episode brought things up a notch.

reply

I have loved season 2 so far, but yes this episode was bloody fantastic. The penis scene made me laugh out loud. So funny.

I was like, omg, is that thing what I think it is? πŸ˜„

Yea, first I thought it was a tentacle like from an octopus man or something, but then I saw the tip and thought, β€œno, no it can’t be.” :) lol

reply

I would guess someone was inspired by Welcome Home Brother Charles (1975) The penis scene I mean.

reply

I was bloody cheering and laughing for most of it.

Fantastic episode.
