The only good thing about The Boys was Karl Urbans butt.
People keep saying the boys are great but i bounced off the constant toxic masculinity of the group. Like specifically in season 2, a bit after he saves the team, they're still talking like assholes to each other. Im like, no change? Y'all just gonna roll with the leader who abandoned you?
I wanted to like the boys but watching grown men act like how these guys do was beyond stupid, rolling merrily past eye-rolling into actually angering me.
So yeah fuck the boys

That point doesn't get any better as the show goes on lmao. Butcher keeps fucking up and putting everyone in danger and they find some way to keep taking him backspoiler
Hugie keeps saying shit like, "I know he's got some good in him. No matter how much of a monster he is!", while showing Butcher's guilt at abandoning his little brother to an abusive parent. And I can't figure out if we're supposed to think that Hugie/The Boys are doing a "battered spouse" thing and not being able to get free of the toxicity or legitimately agree with Hugie that Butcher is redeemable...Started watching it a week or so ago and... its edible slop but its definitely not great.
There's just enough to keep me curious but it is also an exhausting watch.
