How does the quality of the show compare to The Boys, if youve seen that? Invincible and The Boys were two Prime shows Ive been putting off for a while and I finally got around to watching all of The Boys, and I loved it.You watched Gen v before or after the boys?
Ill probably get to Invincible next after finishing Gen V (not the biggest fan of this one unfortunately).

You watched Gen v before or after the boys?Im watching Gen V after The Boys, recently finished all 3 available seasons a couple days ago. Got two episodes left of Gen V.
The boys and invincible are the only Amazon shows worth watching. Besides maybe the tick

Like, the thesis statement for The Boys seems to be "hey, wouldn't it suck if superman and other heroes were dicks?" And the answer is... yeah, that would suck.
Invincible, at least, has a lot more to say, about a lot more topics. Especially when you realize that Mark is the Superman stand in, and not Omni Man.
Try to read the comics if you can. The whole series is done, and it's quite good
haven't seen either, but from what I hear, Invincible seems to be made out of love of superheroes, while The Boys seems to be made out of hatred of themI wouldn't necessarily say that The Boys is made out of a hatred of super heroes.

The problem is that The Boys isn't really saying anything. It's not doing anything with it's premise. "Wouldn't it suck if superheroes were assholes, and capitalism got its claws in them?" Yeah, it would... and...?
It's not that they hate caped heroes; I don't think you can really deconstruct anything you actually hate. Not very successfully, anyway. It's just that they basically came up with a premise and... just stopped. The character writing is great, but the central themes never go further than "wow, this sucks." Because things in that world have to suck. If things stop sucking, the series has nowhere else to go. It's why it feels overly edgy, in so many places.
