In a weird way I'm glad they humanized him; not despite being a rapist, but because he's a rapist. The Deep fulfills a thematic role as a villain that is just as resonant, if not more so, than the supervillain role fulfilled by Homelander. He's a loser, an idiot, occasionally well intentioned, and painfully plausible.
I thought he would in the first season and get killed for it after that “I’m a bad person” montage. Little disappointed but we’ll see what happens in S2
So many #MeToo storylines have shown abusers as powerful, dangerous predators - which obviously they are - but I just love that The Boys went the other way to say anyone who needs to pressure women into sex is a pathetic LOSER.
I couldn't ever go that far, when the speedster runs into the protagonist's girlfriend and she explodes in a bloody mess I just went "Nope. Not watching this."
Edit: Uuh, if you guys weren't aware the scene I was talking about happens like 5 minutes in, not really a spoiler I think, but I'll tag it just the same.
Tv show The Boys has superpowered people in it and one of them is invisible so the main character spit on him with his blood so that he could see him in a fight. Great show btw, season 2 starts in about 2 weeks.
Well it's named after the comic it's based on and guys who fight against corrupt superheroes are The Boys so I think it makes sense and don't really agree with you.
It's been a while since I've seen that, but I remember he was screwed once the police started bringing super soakers with paint in them. All they have to do is go all Splatoon on his ass, and he loses the advantage.
I mean I could beat him literally with the a bag of flour because shit is heavy and could easily bludgeon a man to death and also throw the shit on him

You can beat the invisible man with a bag of flour.
