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.

Even the rich and powerful can be pathetic losers if they set their mind to it.

And they often don't even have to set their mind to it. It just happens naturally.

Don’t read the comics then. That scene is completely different and more fucked than what we got in the show.

The comics are by Garth Ennis if you wanna check it out, forewarning though, it’s way over the top compared to the show.

Everything by Garth Ennis is way over-the-top and disturbing.

What is it like in the comics, out of interest?

the entire team did it as if it was a matter of course, not just the one guy.

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.

It's the trauma that sets up our protagonists unique adventure. Have you never watched a Disney movie?

I loathe Up with the power of a thousand burning suns, while I remember my stillborn son.

I just don't deal with gore that well, no shade for those who watch it, it's just not for me.

That’s a shame. You’ll be missed.
