About The Boys Team

Now the boys are victims lashing out at there abusers. So unlike supes they have got sympathetic traits, but there are not decent people. Its sort of hard to be when they are tearing people apart all the time. now a better phrase would be damaged maniacs since they have been through a lot that warrants how they feel about supes, but its not a healthy way to deal with it, there not treating the sickness, there just wallowing in the pain together. But in the show they forget all that contemplating what this does to them, there's nothing potentially psychologically scarring about this that we might want to change or address. Were not Butcher. Its fine, nothing to dig into here. Unless its about Frenchie's backstory. Then we take it very seriously. That's when we talk about mental health. I feel like one of the main problems with the Shows version of The Boys is how they never seem to question the morality of what there doing or how its affecting them, at least in a deeper way. Of course there is the thing with Hughie wanting to do things by the book but in cases like that there always talking about it from a Legal angle. But it never questions how bad it is for the soul or there Mental health. Which is weird since The Boys is supposed to be a destructive club for people who don't know how to sort there issues. That's the whole point of them as a group. There supposed to show what can happen when instead of dealing with trauma, you just take it out on others with the excuse that its fine since they deserve it. The show just has a way more black and white view on what there doing since it seems to view the boys less like a collection of broken people being destructive and more like a group of outcast vigilantes standing up to the big bad corporation. Its going for a more Guardians of the Galaxy vibe, where they all got their own quirks and issues that tend to effect them and they aren't quite professional when getting the job done. But most of the time, unless Butcher is involved, there morally in the right. So why even think about the mental toll? There is nothing concerning about Kimiko casually ripping a dudes arms off. We know she is morally in the right, so its all good. Its not like just the act of repeated mutilating and killing itself can be bad for you or anything. Its such a overtly simplistic view of The Boys.
