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. --- Doesn't take a lot of brains to be a good fighter. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
