Fun fact; in the comics, Stormfront is beaten up by Butcher, Frenchie, MM, and Love Sausage. Each representing Britain, France, America, and Russia respectively (The Allies).

I’m going to be real the boys can be critized for many things. I really think people overstate the sexism.

People mostly remember Ennis's cruder work. But check out his more serious books, like Sara (about a female Soviet sniper in WW2). Even in Preacher, there's Tulip.
He's not terrible at writing female characters. And Ennis shits on his male characters as much as he does he female characters...he's an equal opportunity misanthrope.

No, not even a little bit.
Truthfully, the comics are, by-and-large, terrible with bits of greatness sprinkled throughout. Ennis' writing largely depends on shock value with little depth. Preacher devolved into much of the same over the course of its run, disappointingly.
Honestly, Rogen and Goldberg really know how to identify the core themes in Ennis' work, and then find a showrunner to work with who can bring those themes and characters to life without feeling like an edgy teenager wrote it to piss off their mom. The television adaptations of Preacher and The Boys are both pretty much unequivocally better than the comics they are adapting in nearly every way.
EDIT: Aaaaaand, for what it's worth, the only part of the Preacher TV series that I find lacking is that they didn't ever adapt [this page.](https://external-preview.redd.it/Ur9ejp_qdoyXAjVviI4Yi8TjRQsH4VK60iqTmMsNPhw.jpg?auto=webp&s=bd287efaecdeae9119ccede9961b09f8f489d9bd&app_web_view=android)

ForTheLoveOfOedonMar 23, 2026

Clever is REALLY stretching it. Garth Ennis has the artistic sensibility of a middle schooler—mostly shock value humor, confuses ultra violence and sexual deviancy with edginess, and aims for the biggest reactions from the audience. And much like a middle schooler he can occasionally say something compelling, but it’s ultimately hard to take it seriously because of everything else before it…and after it. He consistently undermines his sparse cleverness, though I’m not sure he actually cares too much as he has established a whole brand and style just the way he is, for which he deserves a lot of props. I just don’t know that I’d call him or the Boys particularly clever, it’s moreover extremely overt and on-the-nose by design.

I wasn’t vetting anyone’s political affiliation… we were at a comic con enjoying a character. Liking Homelander doesn’t equal endorsing him.

He overlaps in some areas, sure, but those traits apply to plenty of populist figures who lean on nationalism and religion.

Then he's an idiot. It couldn't be more obvious.
Trump said about Covid that it's safe to go outside and the people should go outside, Homelander says the same thing when people are scared that Soldier Boy is back.
Trump says he could kill someone and he'd still be voted in, Homelander lasers a guy in broad daylight at the end of Season 3 and then he gets put into the Government in S4.
Then there's the scene in Seasons 3 and 4 when:
- Homelander gets mad at the Vought talks because people are using terms he doesn't understand and it makes him look stupid, because he doesn't know shit about leading a company;
- Homelander gets mad/overwhelmed when the politicians reject him because he has no idea what to do with the country;
Both times he got mad he got fact checked.

Those traits aren’t unique to one person. Public reassurance during crises, exaggerated confidence, clashing with institutions, and not understanding technical language are common across plenty of leaders and public figures. It’s been a trope in film long before The Boys. That’s my point. Homelander pulls from a broader archetype, not a 1:1 template. You can hate Trump and still have basic media literacy

Possibly the worst fight in The Boys. It’s CW levels of awful on 10x the budget. It’s bad when your fight scene compares poorly with the printer assault scene in Office Space.
This just seemed to be assembled for a c**** needle drop moment. Then it just ends without consequences. If this was an anime it would be a fan-service filler scene.
Also, it says a lot that after 3 seasons I’m still not 100% sure what Queen Maeve’s powers are. Can she fly? How strong is she? Because the answers seem to change in the show. She just shows up sometimes.

[Here’s](https://screenrant.com/queen-maeve-boys-diabolical-flight-power-reason/) another discussing that No she can’t fly in the series, but Can in every other version of the character.
And hey, I don’t care, I only wish the show was better written. Frankly QM is the biggest story swing and miss in the series run a character that should have been great and instead was completely sidelined to shoehorn in more weird sex stuff.

Mave teleports to this fight. She is in vought tower then just appears behind stormfront who flew here. We even see behind stormfront several times and Mave is not there. I know the clip posted ends immediately but if you can find a slightly longer clip take a look at the three victors after the fight. Not a scratch on them. No dirt, no torn clothes, no blood anywhere, every hair in place. Starlight's first two hits after Mave shows up might be the same punch from a different angle. I've looked through the credits and I don't see anyone credited with the choreography for this fight scene. More than likely there wasn't any set choreography the director just said go for it. They don't overcome her lightning or ability to fly, she just stops using her powers for a bit. Is she out of energy? Can she not focus? There isn't any indication. Camera cuts to the guys and they aren't even helping each other up, doing first aid, or anything. They just stand in empty space for a bit to have a gander. Actually I'm noticing now that the guys are all equally unburned, blooded, bruised, dirtied, or affected by the lightning. I guess the lightning affects supes and non-supes the same. There does also seem to be a disagreement between special effects and the props department regarding of the number of guns being fired at stormfront.

Honestly a scene where the female leads brutally end Stormlight would have been a peak moment for the show. It could have been the moment that they finally get serious and take an opportunity to end a villain when they’re down. Instead what we get is the worst of both worlds where the show wants us to applaud a moment where the villain gets away unscathed.

I don't really understand the complaints about that scene when the whole movie did that. Like Thor duel-wielded Mjolnir and Stormbreaker. They gave Thor and Iron man forced Dead-Parent-Closure. They had Spiderman riding on a Valkyrie Pegasus. They intentionally forced multiple team-ups from the comics (including that girl power shot, most of them iirc are in a comic team-up together). The entire thing was just 3 hours of extremely forced fan service.
Like, it was fun, but it's just odd that people are complaining about a forced moment when the entire movie was forced moments.

Because they aren't specifically portrayed like that. I don't know why it's so difficult to see that this was a very contrived scene for a reason completely different than any other random bit of fan service.
You have a male superhero make a comment, and then it's 'female avengers assemble'. It just so happened that they were the only heroes there? What's the chances that all the female heroes ended up in the same spot at that moment in time? That's a far cry from a chaotic battlefield where you have a couple random heroes team up for fan service. This is why people hate that scene.
>it's not a "man power" moment
That's the real key to this. It's not a man-power moment. And a female hero being on screen shouldn't be a "woman power" moment either, but this clearly was. This is the discussioun around representation and characters who happen to be X vs Characters whose whole identity and purpose in the story is to be X and they don't really seem to be fully realised beyond that.

It's forced. Not only forced, but weakly forced. Captain Marvel just entered the atmosphere and took out an entire ship by herself and suddenly she's going to need Wasp and Valkyrie to get to the ship with the glove?
It's really the Captain Marvel bit of it that bothers me. If it had been anyone else, sure, but you just showed off a power level of 10 million to reduce her for a moment before having her go so toe-to-toe with Thanos that he has to use a stone to stop her from overpowering her.

I always point out the scene that preceded it where Scarlett Witch was just about to single handily take out Thanos.

The scene with all the women wasn't payoff, it was there just to have it happen.

* Oh ... an homage to the original .... the protagonist is from a desert ... planet ....

By the time they got to Cantina 2.0 I was at pure _oh come the f*** on_. And then when they introduced a _third_ Death Star I'd reached peak incredulity.
But what can I say, we're well into the reboot, "just play the hits," give me something familiar timeline. And people actually fell for the mystery boxes. Still boggles my mind.

If they had managed to make the characters even remotely compelling it would have gone a long way, but to literally point for point remake the most iconic movie in your franchise with the most BORING protagonists possible is an unforgivable crime.

I feel embarrassed for women that think it's some kind of achievement. How about just have good female led movies where they aren't just mascots in a generic white man bad girls good plot?

When something is outside the norm (white guys) it gets noticed and dissected more. It becomes FoRcEd DiVeRsItY.

Ellyse willems from the defunct YouTube channel funhaus told a story about seeing endgame in theatre and during that scene some guy said “all da girls!” It’s literally all I think about with that scene, like that guy was the only one who did what marvel wanted

It'll always be weird to me that people felt the need to complain that much about a 30 second scene in a 3 hour movie.

It felt like they were patting themselves on the back for having so many female characters even tho only one of them had her own movie at the time.

It was a 30 second moment that spawned a legion of middle aged men screaming into microphones for an ungodly number of minutes.
Agree it was awkward. But the reaction has long been infinitely more tiresome.

Yeah and I'm allowed to dislike it without being responsible for every other man who's ever commented on it lmao. Reddit loves to pretend there are exactly 2 people on the internet with 2 opinions.

I think the endgame scene is fine, but one thing I never understood is the decision to give the gauntlet to captain marvel, the super being who just destroyed a ship with her entrance. Kind of cuts the tension about the gauntlet being possibly taken away and everyone defending her.
I think if Nebula had the gauntlet instead and everyone was protecting her the scene would be a lot more meaningful.

One thing is cutting through a tank, and another one is getting shot by one. It's improbable that she'd get seriously hurt, but she can still be hit and made to drop the Gauntlet.

If they gave it to Nebula instead of Captain Marvel, you'd hear "Why would they give it to someone on foot when Captain Marvel could literally fly with it?"

Yes, that would absolutely happen.
Narratively though Nebula would’ve worked better, to convey the themes of the scene.

An easy solution to that would be Thanos appears and CM says I'll deal with him you guys get the Gauntlet where it needs to be. That way you don't have her just blasting through Thanos' army leaving most of them behind.

well, when you get no p**** and you have no prospects, hopes, dreams, or good shit going on in your life….seeing women succeed, even for a short time, can be really withering.

"Guys my wife finds me insufferable enough that a tedious character on an annoying show got an unconscious reaction of happiness from her while me doing the same thing got nothing but contempt and resentment. LOL!"

Pretty sure his wife laughed because he called the obvious and cliche line in advance, which she of course found obvious and cliche, and she had to admit that he had accurately read the writer's intentions.
But yeah, sure, whatever unhealthy relationship issues you're projecting with your comment could be it too.
