Shouldn't a laser cauterize wounds? While exploding humans look spectacular, not quite sure that's how it would work.
Maybe I'm over thinking this.
Well, perhaps we’re assuming it’s laser vision. Maybe it’s some other form energy channeled from another dimension. It sort of works like laser vision, but becomes more explosive when in contact with organic matter. Maybe I'm over thinking this.
Nope, not overthinking it at all.
Personally I didn't find the swearing excessive. And I think some of Butcher's lingo was excellent. I think 
is used pretty much everywhere in the UK, I always thought if it as a particular that london (or big city) thing. I think GoT has helped make/keep English swearwords popular in current yank vocabulary.

He even has a Bulldog that follows him everywhere and wears Union Jack t-shirts.
There are quite a few differences between the original comics and the TV shows, and reading them so soon after watching the show makes it quite confusing. In written form, things that differ include:
- Mallory is a man
- As is Stilllwell
- The Deep rape scene is actually a gang bang with Homelader at the centre
- the Asian girl isn’t discovered in a cellar cell by The Boys, but is in their crew from the start
- there are multiple gangs of superheroes they are after, not just the 7
It’s quite different.

I thought the “c” word was overused. It had the unfortunate effect of stopping my missus from wanting to watch it no matter how good I said it was.
As an ex builder, even when I used it at work I didn’t bring it home with me despite my friend “ fk off” always being by my side.
Ask her why she’s so sexist , she’s happy with people being called dick and cock I bet.As an ex builder, even when I used it at work I didn’t bring it home with me despite my friend “ f
k off” always being by my side.It’s just a word

Yanks have a weird fascination with Brits using the C word rather casually. As such, they seem to think having him say it every sentence makes him very "British".As an ex builder, even when I used it at work I didn’t bring it home with me despite my friend “ f
k off” always being by my side.In reality, off building sites and south of Scotland - is it that widely used??? If a mate in the pub said it among my friends (blokes in their 40's) it would be rather odd and they'd need to be describing something pretty requiring of it's use (and ex wife??? car thief???) I've only know one person to ever use it as a term of endearment (which is what the Yanks find so interesting) and he was a tool.
Technically safe for work, as it's all bleeps

Yeah it's obvious from (sometimes...Urban is pretty darn good) his pronunciations that he is English (southern nancy most likely), but he has lived in the US for at least a decade.There are quite a few differences between the original comics and the TV shows, and reading them so soon after watching the show makes it quite confusing.

I heard that the sexual assault scene was worse. I think the changes are for the better, it rounds off the charcters, from how I saw a fan explain it on fb, in the books the 7 are just plain all round bad, it'd be unrelenting and telly needs different levers for a story. I've ordered the 1st omnibus in real book form, old skoool.

Funnily enough when I was watching it, I did wonder if the exact same script would sound more natural if it came from Ray Winstone or Danny Dyer. I do think the use of the C word can be used the way Butcher uses it, but it didn’t sound quite right from Karl Urban. I guess his accent is close enough to not make any difference to a world audience.
Watched all 8 episodes and got my friends hooked too
Shame the series is so short
Brilliant and dark the complete opposite of flash
Homelander reminds me of what a superman in Injustice Leagye series would be like...ruthless and always smiling
Was sad about Deep thought with powers like aqua man he would tell them all to f off and drown the lot of them...ah well his relationship with the dolphin and lobster were funny
Hoping for a brilliant season 2 and hope DC see how good The Boys is and make an injustice league or movie or something

I think that sums up Marvel’s ‘suspiciously similar’ character Prince Namor. He’s sometimes on the side of the heroes, but usually thinks of ‘surface dwellers’ as a plague.Shame the series is so short

Very trueI was annoyed at why he accepted defeat but guess the last scenes with him are leading to him taking control...i mean 2/3rds of the planet is water..you could use it all
Yeah, but that's only useful if you're in the water, he can swim and talk to fish, what else can he do?
I'm interested in the powers of the 7. I didn't think Homelander had super speed, but I guess he can move quick enough to get Billy out of an explosion....which prompts me...the baby? Did he save it? Is it his? POwered?
In the comic Maeve can fly. Wonder why they depowered her.
