Anthony Starr is really great in this series. It’s really funny seeing a male Meg Ryan too.

Yeah he plays Homelander very well.

Just evil and crazy.

The comics have gotten more interesting now that I'm in omnibus 2. The first volume was awful, I'd be shocked if any of it is in the show.

Filming wrapped on season 2.

I’m interested for sure to see where this one goes. Really interested in what happens to Tomáš Satoransky’s character.

So(yo CH), just started watching this...it took til ep 4 that I figured out Homelander was played by the Banshee dude. He's gotta be wearing lifts or something. He towers over people...or everyone else is super short.

alright, it only took me 9 months, but I just finished the entire comic run of the series. I'll be honest, the comics were very uneven and confusing at times. Overall I'd say the comic was pretty meh overall. Probably didn't need to read them to watch the show.

Watched ep 1 last night and really liked it. Much better than anything in the first omnibus volume. Looking forward to plowing through the rest of the series.

Yeah Shakes, the comic seems to be used so far as an inspiration for the show.

Good to hear you’ve finished the graphic novel tho.

Keep us updated on your watch.

Very excited.

It’s a good feeling to watch Gus Fring and Bobby Singer chew up a scene together.

Finished season 1. Really liked it. Much different than the comics. In the comics, Hughie doesn't figure out his girlfriend is in the 7 until very late in the series despite the fact that she doesn't even wear a disguise. I'm glad they went a different route with the tv show since that part of the comic was pretty ridiculous.

In the comic all of the boys take a dose of Compound V in order to get super strength so they can fight the supes. One does and it's a permanent enhancer. I assume that's going to happen at some point in the TV series?

The reveal at the very end was crazy, that definitely is not a thing in the comics.


Also, Homelander is a lot more evil in the comics. Lots more sex stuff. For one thing, in the comic Homelander forces Star Girl to blow him, A-Train and some other supe at the same time when she shows up for her first day on the job.


How long is this show going to go? They barely covered anything in the first season.

Fucking Butcher.

I think it was the show runner Kripke who said they didn’t go the compound V route because there was more suspense when the playing field was not even like it is in the show. I may be remembering wrong tho.

The comic is absolutely outrageous at some points, and I doubt they could bring MANY of the more risque situations to screen if they wanted to. The actor who plays Homelander has done a great job conveying the evilness in that character so far IMO.

Also Shakes, you’ll be getting Herogasm in season 3 apparently.

Nice, looking forward to Herogasm.

I think they should still go the Compound V route. In the comics, it gave them enhanced strength, but it didn't make them quite as strong as the really strong super heroes. For instance, they would still get destroyed in 2 seconds by Homelander. But, it does give them a fighting chance and allows them to hurt the super heroes and even kill some of them.

Without it I don't see how we can really take the Boys seriously in terms of being a threat to the super heroes.

That is such a smart way to release new shows or seasons.

You extend the amount of time the show is in the public consciousness.

Hopefully it catches on for other shows.

When you put it like that I definitely agree.
