Sorry about the re-upload, RU-vid age gated my first video so I was forced to delete and take out a bunch of things, hopefully it's all good to go now. Enjoy and don't forget to leave a like and subscribe, have a great day!
Totally disagree - different, not better. So many things are better in the show because the show's worldbuilding, whereas so many things are better in the comics because the comics' worldbuilding. I dig the whole use of Compound-V in the books, I wish they would've always had it. However, it works in the show because of the worldbuilding. Plus, all the teams and characs in the books, man!
@@Kevintendo season 3's usage, but The Boys have it from the rip; they also don't get superpowers, they just become tough-as-shit durable dudes who beat the shit out of supes. M.M., or Mother's Milk, is actually a supe - kinda. Mother's Milk is called that because he needs his mother's milk to survive and stay ripped; he "naturally" has super strength. His nickname makes perfect sense in the books - it makes ZERO sense in the show.
#31: Hughie bringing up The Hunger Games in that one episode that escapes me right now may or may not be a reference to the fact Jack Quaid (the actor who plays Hughie) was in the very first Hunger Games movie as one of the career tributes.
Another mad detail about stormfront being a nazi is when she is chasing komikos brother through a block of flats and she finds an african american family there, she kills them for no reason, then kills another innocent black man in the stairwell. Only noticed the second time watching.
Such an incredible, gruesome, insane, hilariously dark series. I love it! Anthony Starr plays his character immaculately. I actually believe he’s that evil in real life, that’s how good he is. The entire cast as a whole are all phenomenal in their own way. Umbrella academy has to be my other fave dark, eccentric series next to The Boys albeit less graphic. The comics are much much darker and graphic. I don’t think the masses would be able to handle it though. There would be so much hatred. Oh well, guess this would have to do 🤷🏻♂️ DIABOLICAL 😈 🤘
@@samvanderplas8970 they meant that Anthony Starr is such a good actor that they fully believe that he is evil in real life, not that they hope he is. Kind of like when a person plays a bad guy so well sometimes you will dislike the person that's playing them, that was clearly their point. You missed some key words on that one lol
14 ive known for a while. When i first found out, it was a little heart breaking for me. I really like simon pegg but dude who filled the role was pretty freaking great.
It was also fucking hilarious when Jack Quaid as Hughie brought up The Hunger Games because... he was in the very first Hunger Games movie as one of the career tributes.
Awesome!! This is fantastic to hear this kind of information. I haven’t read the source material and probably won’t. Love the show, glad they’ve toned it back a bit but have no problem with yeh raunch
Ah you should read the source material, it's not as good, but it still has allot to offer, and it's written by one of comics best writers, Garth Ennis, and like me he's Irish(I know that's not really relevant to you, I just like that he's Irish), but yea, check it out if you get a chance I highly recommend that and Preacher.)
The comics are different, but just as good as the show. They tend to be better at worldbuilding, offering more supes and more varied stories. The show rules, Gen V is quite a bit better than the comics' version of Godolkin University, but.... It's also more fitting for the world, what's done in the comics. So, honestly - comics are worth your time, but you're not missing much, if you actually enjoy the show, due to the two being the same, but different.
@@lobodesade6780Hughie's Scottish, tho, right? Why didn't he go Irish there? Also, strong disagree - the comics are just different. I like the use of Compound-V in the books over the show, I dig them using it right off the rip, and M.M.'s whole deal, which gives him the nickname "Mother's Milk", which has absolutely no basis in the show, even tho they keep using it.
@@itsmytoast666 no I was saying that Garth Ennis is Irish, not Hughie, but yea Hughie is Scottish in the comics. I just personally prefer the show, I still love the source material tho, have it all in original print and I'm so proud of that haha. You should check out a comic called Marshall Law, if you dig the Boys comics, I think you will really like Marshall Law.
@@lobodesade6780 that's a Judge Dredd comic, right? Or a 2000 AD book, at the very least, no? I was just asking if you knew why Ennis didn't make Hughie Irish, like him, and, instead, went with Scottish. I'm really fucking digging Gen V. I'm a huge X-Men fan and really dig how close to the franchise Gen V gets with everything. They made a legit X-Men story, something I highly doubt Disney-Marvel will be able to do, judging by how much every Avenger is the same character - quippy, funny, doofy, bland..... I don't have faith in the Disney machine, man. Haha.
26 is wrong. I say this after a fresh rewatch. Kimiko sang when she saw the little girl playing piano. And before the musical number dream sequence in the hospital. He told frenchie she had rhythm
Is this a reupload or have you been living in a cave for the past 4 years??? Edit: read the description after my comment. I was hoping it was a reupload.
Most of the facts about the comics in this video just confirmed my suspicion that the comic is just edge for the sake of edge. Glad I started with the show instead lol.
Dawg, you really didn’t immediately realize that Stormfront was a Nazi? That’s wild. There was so much in your face subtext that it should’ve been apparent from the jump, lol.
You mentioned being wrong and being happy to be wrong. Funny story. I'm browsing Netflix one day and i stumble upon Kevin Smith: Burn In Hell. If you don't know that's a recorded q&a from his Red State tour. In it he mentions Red State a handful of times and I never heard of it. In fact I didn't even hear of Tusk at the time either. Which I refuse to give Tusk a chance because it just sounds like a stupid concept of a movie once i did research. Anyways I never heard of Red State and searched to watch it thinking it was just gonna be another one of Kevin Smith's cultural comedies like J&SB Strike Back or Dogma. I was wrong and boy was I happy to be wrong. Red State is a great movie that I strongly suggest people watch. Even if you're not a Smith fan, it's worth a watch.
Good thing that movie never got made. The story wouldn't work as a movie, and we would have never gotten the legendary casting of Homelander and Billy Butcher.
Another Detail for Na*i Stormfront is her „blue Eyes“ it’s actually a believe from the famous Australia, that the perfect german is blond, blue eyes, tall…but he himself is none of that
I'm not tryna flame you but the amount of lightning bolts in Nazi symbols are blatantly thrown face first on so much shit it can't be any more obvious. It's not a reach at all even storefronts costume is blacked out and very Nazi like.
As good as the show is,Don't, read the comics. They are terrible, and written by perhaps the worst "super hero" writter ever. Just don't read them and thank me later
They're anti-heros. The comics are great for the people who don't get enough brutality from the show and/or want to know more about the show's origin. Kinda like The Walking Dead comics but they had less r@pe 🤣
I had to stop watching this because the voice is annoying. “High high high high LOW, high high high LOW, high high high high high high high LOW. Ugh so annoying
