The Boys: Everything They Changed From The Comics
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 05. 2024
- The Boys on Amazon might be the best example of an adaption that’s better in almost every way and I’m being generous by not saying the whole thing is outright better. Characters like Homelander and Billy Butcher are much more nuanced and aren’t just the worst possible person you can imagine with a little extra trash sprinkled in. The original was billed as a critique of superheroes but never really got there and felt more like anti-love letter or I guess hate letter works better to the genre by Garth Ennis who’s said multiple times that he really really hates superheroes. Now in the show, you’re going to actually hate superheroes because they’re written like real people with flaws that could’ve been great but fall rather than just seeing a bunch of supervillains masquerading as heroes. The Amazon show is far from perfect but when it comes to the various changes that it’s made to the source material during it’s run, it’s been a diabolical good time. So in this video, we’re talking about all the different changes from Black Noir to Stan Edgar and how they’re different from the comics.
If you liked the video, wanted to yell at me that the comics are better (you’re wrong), or found something that I left off for you to fill the comments with, throw them down there in the comment section. And don’t forget to do all the CZcams stuff like, hitting the sub button, liking the video and hitting the notification bell so you don’t miss another video where I say that the comics are bad and the show is good.

Which The Boys character do you think should've been closer to the comics?
All of them.. unless someone plans on casting Bruce willis as Shaft an chris O'Donnell as black panther
Black Noir. Him being a clone of HL would've been an insane twist, while his reveal in the show was pretty weak and uninteresting. Also his show storyline ended far too early and is very feelsbadman. 🙍
THE LEGEND IN THE SHOW= the Showrunner say he more based on Robert Evans (film producer, studio executive, and actor, best known for his work on Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, The Godfather, and Chinatown)
GET YOUR FACTS RIGHTS!
@@samuraicupcake289 I agree the clone twist should have happened, I was waiting for it.
@@joeblow5658 bro shut up you don't even know what you're talking about 💀
Whoever decided to make Black Noir a black guy in the show is a creative genius.
Black black is black
I wouldn't say genius. They probably just saw his name and didn't think twice about who to cast.
That being said, the guy does a great job portraying a schizophrenic, damaged assasin type.
Well they just killed him off, i wish we had it like they did in the comics with black noir being a clone of homelander. An ending like they did in the comics would be very cool to watch.
@@ion_force pretty sure he was being sarcastic my guy
I guess.
I imagine Ryan is going to end up being a real terror in the show. You think puberty is hard normally, imagine it with superpowers and with every negative impulse you have being promoted by your dad who constantly tells you the rules don't apply to you because you're "better" than everybody else.
Basically Brightburn except he is not pure evil. Just a misunderstood child and learned wrong lessons from Homelander
Homelander is gonna likely be trying to reign Ryan in. In the same way he started to see Stormfront differently when her pure evil started to show.
I think he will die in Season 4. they need something to make homelander go full atomic bomb.
@@Dragnmastralex if Ryan gets killed, it will probably be to signal the beginning of butcher's descent into villainy.
@@TheKillaShow I think homelander tried to REGN her in because he needs to be liked and she would tarnish his likeability. The ending of season 3 has shown him he can indulge in his demented desires and there are people who still love him, NOW he will descend into pure evil
Comic: written from a place of hate towards fiction
Show: written from a place of hate towards real people
I hope you know how intelligent you are for pointing this out, this should have wayyyyy more likes
makes sense
Black Noir's name never fails to make me laugh (Noir is black in French) so he's called Black Black and he's played by a black guy, lol
that does sound like something a marketing department with their head up their ass would come up with.
Im glad someone actually mentioned this

A refreshing change when an adaptation improves on its source material.
It happens when they love the source material. Have you tried the castlevania Netflix show?
are you saying following the source material wouldnt work? And if you think it wouldnt I would ask "why it wouldnt?"
@@mosj9876 because the source material is edgy for edgy sake. The source material is such an edge lord it cut itself just by saying its own name. It is also pretty anticlimactic. The TV show took an interest premised, added a little soul and expanded it.
@@JayJayM57 I disagree. The whole interest for the show was because of how visceral and dark parody of DC n Marvel the comic was. How insane and narcissistic the characters were. They exchange edgy for edgy? They added in their own woke AF edgyness into the mix but somehow that's not edgy for the sake of edgyness? You can take the first season and how instead of The Deep forcing starlight make it the original 3 who did, Atrain Homelander and Black Noir, because it would be even more shocking just like the comics and still make the experience horrible for the viewer for it's introduction. Especially since the Deep wasn't like that nor was he white in the comics. This is the same ol let's subvert expectations by changing the source material gag. The only character that doesn't seem to be changed is Homelander in the show. There's only been a few times where a movie was better than the book, but this isn't one of them. It's good but not great.
@@JayJayM57 dude it's not edgy for the sake of being edgy. It's dark yes but not even close to edgy. It's over the top at times I will admit but not edgy.
i think they gave M.M.’s milk thing from the comics to homelander in the show😭
It’s not the same thing. MM didn’t have a milk fetish. He had to drink his own mothers milk or he’s die
I think they might give Black Noirs role to Ryan in the show. He'll match Homelanders power but will go batshit crazy under his "care", in the end forcing Butcher to... well, do the Butcher stuff and giving us bittersweet ending.
Or it’s exactly the same, vaught wants to cover up the murder so they just puts someone new in the suit perhaps a clone of someone
I get the impression the show might be going for something more optimistic. Ryan is in a bad spot but the development and work Butcher puts into trying to be a better person really makes me think it's leading to a better Ryan and them making up.
Probably Butcher sacrificing himself to save Ryan from Homelander and the being taken in by The Boys. A family of dysfunctional but loving parents who will help him be better than both Homelander, Butcher or SB
From the end he shouldn't be black even a train dirty work they treat them shitty
im gonna come back to this, this theory has wheels.
F*ck that kid. I wanted him dead as soon as season 3 started
I like the little X-men derivatives in 'The Boys' like Popclaw. It was funny that pyrotechnic Lamp Lighter actor also played Iceman in X-men movies.
Goes on to show how real Global Warming is
he likes playing hot and cold
He’s playing both sides so he always comes out on top
Honestly, without giving spoilers, I hope the ending to the series does NOT mirror the comics, I hated the comic ending so much
Well no one knows the ending of the series nor do they know how many seasons it's gonna go for. It's definitely not like the comics so far.
considering the way they went with Black Noir, I doubt it
Yep this is the only comic adaptation that is even better
Well, will you spoil the comics for me? Lol.
To be fair now that noir is dead that can't really happen..
The biggest difference is the comics were made to bash superheroes, the show is made to THINK about superheroes.
Perfectly put
One is a parody made out of hate
The other is a deconstrucion made out of respect/love for the genre
I like how the show is capable of turning a rather yk petty and edgy source material into a more subtle and nuanced thing.
They are still petty and edgy in the show... only they sprinkled in wokeness in it. Nothing nuanced about wokeness.
"subtle"
@@mosj9876 cope

@@mosj9876 I think the guy crying about the big bad woke boogeyman I seems more edgy to me. What, do you think your too cool for media literacy?
"I personally thought he was a little too soft for my liking..."
Bro he's a child 😅
Not only that, but he was a child who grew up with a compassionate mother who tried to teach him right from wrong. What an odd thing to say lmao
You know he is talking about a fictional show right?
@@-saklo-2256 ???
It’s a very odd thing to say. Like calling stormfront a millennial 11:30 she has pictures of her with Himmler and Geobbles and married Vought. She’s over 100 years old and says so several times. She’s from the silent generation she’s not even a boomer let alone a millennial. Idk wtf he was going for there
Yeah i picked up on that too, made me not vibe with this video/commentator, Ryan was a nice, sweet kid before Homelander, to hear him described as "too soft" was pretty douche-y actually
@@-saklo-2256 Yeah, wiggi0620 is talking about what happened in the fictional show too. Your point?
Lamplighter “torched” himself. He’s not coming back. Love Shawn Ashmore though
Jensen Ackles upped The Boys game to the next level. Like most of the Supe and non-Supes his arc went from Dick (Supernatural “Dean” running gag) to sympathetic to Dick back and for faster than any other character to date and totally pulled it off with bells!
I dunno, with compound V injections they might have tried bringing him back (with a missing hand). Most supes can survive bullets so why not immolation? Sure, coming back as a burnt zombie might be pretty weird, but stranger things have happened.

@@samuraicupcake289 chances are pretty low, I mean the dude deep Fried himself beyond reason... To me and seing his durability, we'd have better chances to see black noire coming back with his cartoon fellas, and one extra : cartoon jesus, as a lamb. . . . . . Huh...
Hell, thinking about it, what if his powers are "cartoon" related ? Hard to kill, Can put an unexpected good laugh, tried to be cheerful with a kid back in Season one... This guy still have some background left unanswered.
The Boys appears to be one of the very, very rare instances of a screen adaptation improving on the source material in pretty much every way.
HOW
🤣🤣🤣 you must be a class a comedian 🤣🤣🤣
@@jaqua7732 he's saying facts tho
@@satopei999 No he is saying opinion though, because I read the comic book series well before this trash ever came out, and 10 minutes into the first show I was already turning that bullshit off.
So no he's not speaking facts he's speaking his opinion, just like it's my opinion that the comic book series was fine how it was and didn't need to be changed.
@@satopei999 yeah man I hate it when people are so lacking in creativity, that all they can do is take someone else's work and change it so that they like it better as opposed to simply coming up with their own thing.
Janine is quite different as well. She's a young adult with authority issues instead of MM's loving daughter.
In the comic she is 12 as well but repadly aging because of the V the got from MM that is the reason why she is so mature because other girls and people could not believe her real age, that makes hers and her mother's( who is a completely different person compared to the series) decision to act in adult movies way more sinister
@@kaipi_starthat storyline was so fucked up bruh like it actually wasn’t necessary MM was going through enough😭
I usually dislike it when major changes implemented in adaptations, but having seen the show and having seen the differences from the original comic... I'm glad they changed things. The comic sounds a lot more ridiculous than the show's story, which is a lot more serious, for lack of a better term. I've not liked everything in the show, but it looks like one of those rare instances where an adaptation has a better story than the source material.
the comics doesnt want to tell a story, its only focused on saying super heroes suck and should die because they are either incompetent morons, that are clearly mentaly undeveloped, or are complete depraved monsters who do the most disturbing things just for the kicks.
the show at least tries to make them into real people.
I didn't like the show after 10 minutes, what did you think was better about the show than in the comics?
@@marcosdheleno but the comics actually did tell a story, I can't see how you could have possibly read the whole series and didn't get what the story was.
If that superheroes are bad and terrible people or whatever, is the impression that you got as an overall story, you sure did miss or misunderstand a lot.
@@jaqua7732 Like I said, I thought the show's story seemed more realistic. Sarcastic, yes, but it took its own premise seriously. The comic went beyond sarcasm into a full-on parody of a superhero story.
@@daniell1483 it wasn't a parody of a superhero story at all dude.
One punch man is a parody of a superhero story.
That story was very realistic in that it was government experimentation that started it all.
Just like the government does illegal experimentation on the civilian population all the way up until today.
Also in that it was extreme government corruption that had the organizations running how they were.
Just like governments do with organizations that they start or overtake today.
The story emphasized on how things would actually look if that many random people suddenly had that type of power.
Do you really think that many people would be so caring and loving and concerned about humanity that all they would want to do is help?
No you would have people displaying every type of personality that people actually display.
Which means a ton of them would be narcissistic, psychotic, insane, power hungry, fame-driven and worse.
Especially when you take into consideration that it was all government controlled and that type of behavior is what they rewarded and perpetuated.
In the comic that girl gave like two or three dudes a b****** to join that group.
In Hollywood women and men both are often expected to perform sexually to further their positions.
So I totally cannot understand how you can think the comic series didn't take itself seriously, but I can't argue about the realism, it's like I said 10 minutes into the first episode and I was already done.
Soldier Boy needs a spin off
That’s a idea deserving of mention.
Agreed!
Maybe a show about the payback team?
theme song would have to be him singing Rapture
F soldier boy's racist ass.
I haven't read the comics but even hearing all this, I feel like I'm not getting spoiled because the comics are just so different that I feel it's impossible to get spoiled.
Honestly Jensen Killed it with Soldier boy in my opinion. He’s a really good actor and my favorite since supernatural
You know what would be crazy for Queen.
She had sex with Butcher...what if she got pregnant by him and produces a supe baby with her amd Butcher powers. They can say the temp V didn't leave his system when they had sex.
Making homelander extremely angry since it seems Butcher gets everything that homelander wants.
He got Becca. Ryan. Homelander wanted kids with Queen Mave. He has a loyal team.
He doesn't have Becca or Ryan, but the other two things ye, and having any one of them over Homelander is enough for him to be pissed off about it I guess 🤣
@@dustingaethje1332 he HAD Becca. And becca loved him. Something Homelander wanted.
And Ryan Loved him. I know now thats changed. But yeah.
@@immortaltg7283 it didn't completely change. Rayn is trying to have a family with Homelander after his mom died and Butcher left him. but when it came to, Butcher protected Rayn and Rayn protected Butcher.
They will never go this way, this show is still not that diabolical
@@immortaltg7283 I don't think Homelander ever wanted Becca to love him, but I do think he wanted a loving wife, so he'd be jelaous regardless I guess.
I feel like Lamplighter could come back as a "zombie." Yeah he was burned really bad but he is a supe. Also I'd have to go back and look but his "corpse" kind of looked like Jack from Jupiter. No nose, tight skin, etc
Would make sense actually. Considering there were actually revived supes in the comics and it seems in s3 the show is getting more and more things from the source material
You read the comics didn't you? Anyways if they do end up adapting the zombie characters i hope they actually DO something with it instead of just having them as literal background objects
He would be missing one hand tho😅
Comics Soldier Boy is proof that Captain America’s real power is his heart. They both have the same powers but Steve has the will to act.
is House MD "Larger Than Life" count as superhero deconstruction?
Difference: The Show isn't that insane compared to the Comics
Extra
Yeah, the comics is insanely bad compared to the show
@Dan Mart
Disagree. I like the comics.
@@lapislazuli5035 That's fine, but the show is far superior than the comics in terms of writing and character development.
the comics are over the top gross for the sake of just that being edge trash
All in all I have to say the show is pretty good whether or not you like all the changes. The cast is pretty great.
6:33 actually a-train came from the teenage kix in the comics, which is the same team popclaw is in, so popclaw used to be his teammate in the comics.
Something that was missed is that in the show Ryan is the only natural born supe. Pretty sure they said somewhere in season 2 that every other supe's kids were given compound V to have powers. Ryan not being given compound V is probably going to play into soldier boys anti-supe power in season 4. They said it fries the compound V out of the supes blood, might not work against Ryan who was born with powers.
Soldier got frozen up and sent back to Russia. So I doubt we'll ever see him again.
Technically Homelander was born with powers.
Soldier Boy created Homelander, which became true first innate metahuman.
And Homelander birthed Ryan
@@ceoofgoogle817Homelander And Ryan could be impervious to Soldier Boys nullifying effects.
I dont think The Boys, will have a happy Series Finale LOL.
I honestly don’t believe black noirs role is over in the show I believe he didn’t die COMPLETELY due to his intense healing factor I believe Edgar may have saved him being long time acquaintances, and may be working experiments on him to get his revenge on homelander, so I think it will take material from the comic but not all of it but bits and pieces
You really hit me with the “just trust me bro” for the herogasm
It's not weird for an Englishman to play a Scot. That's like an American playing a Texan.
this is one of the shoes that i actually like having not be completley linear to the comics because it feels so fresh just seeing the characters act differently
Also Kimiko, Or "The Female" Is notoriously strong in the Comics, being the 5th strongest
it goes, (Comic Scaling)
Black Noir
Homelander
Stormfront
Queen Maeve
Kimiko
No one mentioning Billy Butchers accent? Meant to be British but goes back and fourth from Ozzy to Brit.
It doesn't (on purpose). Karl Urban is from NZ so his accent slips through while he's putting on a London accent.
The deep in the comics could fly and had super strength and durability
He still has super strength & durability. He was also black in the comics with no affiliation with water.
Lmao yea from what I can remember, his name and costume has absolutely nothing to do with his powers. Vaught just made it up to have a water based superhero for the team.
to be fair to many sups in the comics can fly are super strong and durable.
2:27 hard disagree.
Homelander in the comics is like a frat boy.
Homelander in the show is a lot smarter and cruel then your giving him credit for
He's more like a sadistic crybaby honestly 😭
I wonder if Hughie might accidentally teleport inside of A-Train and create a similar effect to 'shrink-guy' and robin's death.
Hughie temp-V is really a big departure from the comics and pretty questionable. How can he control it? He just thinks really hard of a place and his body does the rest? How accurate is it? What if he accidentally teleports halfway underground? Can he even missfire? This is never once discussed. He just teleports and its funny.
In the comics he just stronk.
@@samuraicupcake289 yeah all the supes in the comics can literally get their head cuut clean off with a kick or chop.
but it seems like atrain might have a somewhat happy ending (like maeve) in the show version.
never gonna know with these guys lol
@@samuraicupcake289 I think Hughie can definitely control where he teleports. He teleported Starlight right next to his car with fresh clothes to change into during “Herogasm.” He said it felt natural, so it must have been similar to a regular person doing a jump or something. Teleportations seem pretty OP. Like he could just teleport someone on top of a building or a volcano and drop them there then teleport back. The only thing we don’t know is how far can he teleport and if he can continuously teleport or if there’s a “cooldown.”
I feel like if something like that happened they would both get killed
@@stephenmoney4722 despite A Train seeing and realizing his despicable past and even if he redeem himself in the end. I hope he doesn't get an Happy Ending, I hope he dies like a Karma.
I have a feeling that Stormfront's DNA was still just as involved in Homelander's creation as was Soldier Boy's - since it was established by Homelander himself in the show that the female cells are still needed.
Adding a bit of incest _would_ be par for the course for the show...
Please no
Noooo that'll make homelander relationship with stormfront is kinda Ince*St??? That mental
@@Jaladr1 His relationships were f-ed up as it stood. So that wouldn't be saying much.
@@Jaladr1 he fucked an 100 year women lmao
lol idk how you could hate Deep his character arc is funny as shit to me - he's constantly getting c*cked and never gets to do any cool shit, its incredible
And when he does try to do something good he fucks up lmao. That dolphin scene left my jaw on the floor
The coolest thing he did all show was getting sucked off by an octopus
About the let me know part, Rayner is Butcher's sex partner from time to time in the comic books. They also did not include Monkey... yet. And Jack and Doctor Peculiar would be a nice addition to future seasons.
I agree, Jack could appear again as he appeared in the pr0n video that Hughie was watching and also since most of the 7 is gone
Just because black noir was killed off the show doesn’t mean black noir is dead. He’s just a man in a mask and a black suit. They don’t even know if that’s the same black noir when they first formed the seven.
It's a really well written show
...huh?
Hughie regresses and gets clout he never earned, Starlight speedran her entire arc in 1 season then did nothing but cringe since, Butcher is reduced to cute quip guy, every relationship lacks depth and realism, all they did to Maeve is make her gay and lampshade all her wreckless coping behaviors under alcohol lik "oh i like martinis, I must be such a wreck", and Homeland has a mommy issues. That's his entire psyche in the show.
Some of the most meaningful arcs in the series were stripped down to one episode jokes.
That's good writing to you? Wait until you see a real show that doesn't suck after 1 season. Stop watching CW, dude, there's better stuff out there. You're really missing out.

To my friends that haven’t read the comics, I say that The Boys TV show is much more of a reimagination of the source material rather than an adaptation. And yes, I also make it clear that the TV show is tame compared to the comics
I am kinda hoping they replace some of the members of the seven with some hero’s not featured yet in the comics since what happened with Maeve,starlight,supersonic, and noir.
They boys took a niche comic and made a fantastic show
So soldier boy + liberty . stormfront+homelander = like father like son 🙈 and what happens in season 4 if mave is pregnant with a butcher's baby . I think butcher was on temp v and mave lost her powers due to soldier boy
the boys takes liberties like the walking dead did. straying from source material to tell a different story. lets just hope they are better at it than the walking dead.
After 3 amazing seasons, I think they've earned our trust in being able to adapt the source material!
@@ScreenRant yeah but so were the first 3 seasons of the walking dead
@@fireengie8488 With Butcher's medical condition I don't think they are planning to extend it beyond S4 anyway.
I think a-train will get a redemption arc in season 4 but mess it up by killing someone the same way as he killed hughies girlfriend in the first episode and one of the last things butcher does before he dies is capture A-train for hughie to finally bring long over due vengeance to the guy.
i think if he does, the series hughie wont kill him instead it will either be butcher or an accident. with maybe starlight seeing and thinking hughie is a psychopath now that he got powers.
As I am scottish I was pretty gutted when they didn’t make Hughie scottish 😂😂 still one of the best characters
What was the clip of the actor you showed after referencing Capt America? Who was that actor?
The first soldier boy in the comic is who he's based on...not the scared one who became soldier boy after the original was killed
Did you not watch the video? He says this.
I reckon that they made it a lot more tame in terms of themes etc, but not to its detriment. The show is still great and still very brutal, but what happened in the comics just wouldn't fly, and we'd find it hard to connect with the characters if they were how they appeared in the comic.
The show is insanely better than the comics. The comic feels like its just for shock and everyone is awful for the sake of being terrible while the show gives the characters so much more dimension and complexity. For once the show is better than the source material lol
@@yeasyeas6926 Seems to be :)
Victoria is just the remote control that little nina had turned into a human.
There are some strange audio blips like the speed is being changed around the 5 minute mark. What's that about?
Was not expecting to see Kempe at 10:20
After seeing Gen V, I get the feeling they really want to extend this universe.. It doesn't feel like a one and done season, feels like the introduction to so much more.. I think Homelander and The Boys will be forced to team up against a bigger bad.. They've hinted at it, and the way the show is going I can't see him taking over the world.. They'll push towards it then pull the rug out.
What if homlander is storm front and soldier boys child? They needed a mother too and she was the strongest of females ; and it would make the show even more fked up
She’d of known.
Turning their Captain America to US Agent was the best thing they could have been.
Can’t wait to see what they do with Malchemical and the G-Men in future seasons. The source material is wild AF, but the adaptation is one of the best shows out there
starlight even looks exactly like her comic book counterpart
What ever happened to the patient in season 2 that was basically similar in powers to Victoria?
it looked like stormfront incapacitated her
@@mugiwara-no-luffy afterwards it showed her roaming free
The showrunner already said its not the last we’ve seen of Maeve
Good video!
this is what i call an adaptation, my favorite series in decades, this is what i expected to see for resident evil, get the source material, and make it look more human and less "gamey", for the comics is the same, you're not suppose to take 100% of the source material into a series, otherwise, what's the point of the adaptation?
Is it just me or Soldier Boy remembers me a bit of Winter Soldier
As others said, i wouldnhave made more sense to:
1- adjust your recipe for AAU so that the two beers match up better on IBUs
2- Martin should not have been told his results until after all tests, it corrupted the results.
3- vary the samples so you have something like 3 the same, 1 old hop, 2 old hop, etc.
One key difference is that in the comics the biggest divergence from the real world happened during 9-11. In the comics, the plane incident was explicitly tied to 9-11.
My crackpot theory is that Ryan will be the final villain. The finale of season 2 showed that Ryan might be stronger than Homelander, and at this point he's still just a kid.
I think Black Noir will come back to kill Homelander, Butcher will face off against Ryan and probably die
The Boys comic feels needlessly mean at times and pointlessly dark, like it FEELS like a SI Revenge Fantasy against several comic super heroes with the serial numbers filed off at times.
Is it bad that I prefer Worm to The Boys when The Boys was written by a person who HATES super heroes and the idea of super heroes?
Worm is GREAT, it's got everything that the Boys does but, well... More nuanced.
Making Soldier Boy into the angry, “old school” dad type character was brilliant.
Got a question about the boys comics did tecknight really save the world by getting his freak on with an asteroid or was it all a seizure?
To be clear (show) Homelander father is soldier boy but her mom is unknown but let’s just say who else can/could fly, would be down to create a genetic superior race, and started herogasm with soldier boy
"Just like supes i'm also a subject of corporate interests" WE GOTTA SAVE THE GUY WHO COMMENTATES IN SCREENRANT VIDEOS
A-train was the member of Teenage Kix.
& popclaw is member of T.K.
so there might be a chance they met off screen & know each other well.
I haven’t see the show only snippets of it but soldier boy is SO cool
the TV show missed the critique of the military industrial complex: Voight selling deathtrap fireball planes and tanks to the US armed forces in WW2 and unreliable useless rifles to the US Army in Vietnam, causing several thousand US troops to be surrounded, massacred and their heads mounted on stakes
the 9/11 storyline made me cry ngl
Because that would actually require taking a stance against corruption in real life, and God forbid they do that
Ryan gonna be comic black noir
Never heard of the boys until the show came out, now I'm going to get the comics AND audiobooks.
@@BlazingBurrito2K You are so edgy
It's a rare thing that I considered that an adaptation is better than the original source
I'm maybe 10 minutes into the first episode and I've already had enough, with the major changes they made from the source material from the very startI couldn't even watch it.
I hate it when people use established characters to tell their own story, I read the entire comic book series and it was awesome, there was no need to do anything else.
agreed
They can make their own adaptation, they can't however insult Ennis just because he did things his way.
@@orlandofurioso7329 Glad to see some others who appreciate Ennis' work.
Calling the boys comic awesome is crazy it was the equivalent of a deranged lunatic writing down their fantasies
And on top of that if they did adapt the comics nobody would like it the changes were awesome and needed
How is Starlight the exact same character? It sounds like a fabricated excuse not to talk about her cause she’s actually a good person.
"The Comics is the comics and the show is the show" fits The Walking Dead and certainly fits The Boys. While it's great to see faithful adaptations but there's also a great joy to be surprised.
Wait, Baron Wallis?
He some kind of Barret Wallace Expy?
Just saying "they worse in the comic" is very lazy writing. Either explain it or don't bring it up if you're too scare YT is gonna get mad. Like you pointed out in the beginning their are others that have covered this topic and they ALL do it better.
Thé show is killing it
I wish they kept black noir the same, him being a clone was such a small part of his reveal it really changes how you look at the real homelander
Maybe in season 4 they will bring him back as the clone with zinc mask so Homelander doesnt see who that really is.
@ku8son892 I'm hard pressed to find homelander letting that slide with everything going on
Didn't they visit the mothers milk thing with Homelander?
Soldier boy is my favorite character by far ! Jensen nailed it! He is the real OG and.will help take out his brightburn son and his son can grow up very much not like homelander. Soldier boy was so engaging and hilarious.
*Hate Homelander?...Homelander is ny favorite character on the show lol*
Just to be clear, during Herorgasm Black Noir does assault Hughie, that kind of assault, it is brutal.
It is a great show no matter what. I appreciate the team of directors and writer's.
How did The Boys even get picked up as a show in the first place? I am seeing so many comments saying the comics aren't even good. I mean, I guess the overall plot is pretty unique. But were the comics even popular before the show? (I am not a comic guy, but absolutely loved watching The Boys).
I think it was because of the idea, I saw this in many series
The boys is a masterpiece excellent writing superb cast
The best superhero related thing I've ever seen.
The comics don't look so interesting..
I really like how they turned a really bad comic into such an amazing show
Does soldier boy in the comics have all those great one liners like in the show?
they don't sound so good after he gets his nose cut off (the comic soldier boy)
What the comic does a bit better is Hughie and Starlight/Annies relationship. It's more complex than the show at times and delves more into the psychological factors of getting molested/raped, where in the show she was just simply angry about it. In the comic It's a constant battle for each other to keep the relationship together as they both have troubles revealing their traumas to one another.
People who read the comics and say it's edge lord stuff haven't really read the comics, because all that edginess and gore is pretty much very surface level to keep things unique, many people watch the show for the crazy edgy stuff too, it sells. You are mostly reading the comic for the stories of Butcher, Hughie, and Annie, the rest are edgy filler that are honestly just breaks from the relationship drama, and moral drama with Hughie and Butcher. Of course with a cute little bonus of Frenchie and The Female relationship.
My proof? It's the only things the show hasn't changed from the comics at all.
Definitely agree 100%! Hughie and Annie’s relationship in the show is very one-note, same arguments and scenes between them repetitively. Their comic relationship has a lot more going for it.
that would be hard to portray on top of all the stuff happening in the show. im thinking 13 reasons why
When will Ryan do pitch meeting for the Boys 😭?
Idk
who is Ryan? do you mean The Writer?
@@CoolGobyFish Ryan George. The guy who does Pitch Meetings for movies and tv shows, quite popular but he didn't made one for The Boys
Still waiting for Tek Knight!
Soldier Boy was the nickname of Anthony Starr in the series Banshee.
