The show is going to die out anyway. There's going to be something more popular that will steal the spotlight or there's going to be one bad season or the costs get too much and that's it. It actually makes sense to get the most out of it before something happens to make it unsustainable. It's just a matter of how shameless a company is willing to go and if they can pull it off long enough. And who knows, maybe one of the spinoffs continues to be popular when the others die off. That's happened before.
What would Garth Ennis say about this? He would say "I don't care about the irony of it all. I've lived a rough life, I need booze and cigarette money. I'm gonna milk this shit for all its worth."
I think Ennis would have long since accepted that the show doesn't really have all that much to do with his original comic beyond the basic premise and character names. They've gone off in such a different direction to what he did that he's probably fine with them pissing on their own point and getting royalties from them doing it, too.
tried to find out how much (if at all) ennis was involved with the show and saw this: >"In the very beginning, he was really available to discuss the show," Kripke told Consequence of Sound. "I was really interested in his total inspirations, the movies and TV shows that inspired him to write the thing, and he was really great about sharing all that. Then, at one point, I approached him and said, 'It's a different medium. It's going to have to be different.' And he knew, because he had been through Preacher, and so I said, 'Tell me what's important to you.' I had the same conversation with Darick Robertson, the illustrator and co-creator, and Garth was like, 'Just get Butcher right.'" >"So, I've really tried to do that. I've sent him every script to this day. I even just sent him episode three of Season 3 yesterday because, to this day, he wants to weigh in on Butcher's dialogue. And I'm happy to have him do it because he knows Butcher's dialogue better than I do, and he knows British slang way better than me, so I'm happy to have him pitch suggestions. He says Butcher is his favorite character that he's created, so he's very protective of him. But he's pretty open to the rest of it. He gets it."
It's impressive they've managed to franchise what is one of the most 'meh' "What if Super heroes were fricking buttholes?" comics. They got milk from a rock.
I dropped it halfway into Season 2 when it stopped being The Boys and started being Homelander's Mommy Issues, YASSS QUEEN SLAY
Redpill me on The Boys. Is it actually good? Everything I've seen just makes it look like "Dude, what if superheroes were angry manbabies and/or druggies".
The comic is good enough. The first season of the show has promise that it completely squanders by season 2.

The comics have a surprisingly good story and ending buried enough the layers of Ennis edge and "Dude, what if..." stuff on the surface.
The show has a good first season and better characterisation for the superhero characters than the comic ever did, but quickly loses its way after S1's ending and so far shows no chance of recovery.
Season 3's ending literally kept him alive via asspull, they know full well viewers like you exist which is why he's not going anywhere for the next three seasons lmao
The boys comic: superheroes are...LE BAD
The boys tv show: subversion of the superhero genre that takes itself way too seriously to the point becoming embarrasing (le homelander is le trump)
Not really. TMNT became a parody of itself with only its second iteration.
Both of these properties are parodies in the first place.
Yes, ESL, but then they became the thing they were parodying, so they are now parodying themselves.
I'd watch a show about a Mexican Superhero team.
Not necessarily one connected to the Boys.
How would they handle the cartels?
Kill them
Fight fire with fire

sorry
Gotta milk the franchise for all its worth before people get tired of it. Just like with The Walking Dead.
What they dont understand is that this milking is what makes people get tired of it.
Burn fast and burn people out faster!

But it worked for GoT.
Why do they need this I somewhat understand Gen V it's their way of adapting the G Men plotline

For all the problems I have, I can never help but admire the man. Well done. He knows his priorities.
*slaps the yellow filter over it*
Breaking Bad style
i'm actually interested

So just The Boys with a yellow filter?
hopefully it will have the most yellow filter ever and everybody will wear sombreros
Give it to me straight, is the third season worth watching?
It's better than the second at least, but still not as good as the first.
I dropped it halfway into Season 2 when it stopped being The Boys and started being Homelander's Mommy Issues, YASSS QUEEN SLAY

Oh cool, is viral Twitter spam extending to Cinemaphile now?
Oh cool, do nameBlack folk think their opinion matters now?
They've been getting too numerous and uppity these last few years, especially on Cinemaphile
>They've been getting too numerous and uppity these last few years, especially on Cinemaphile
nothing to see, guy. just a coincidence
>going to Cinemaphile in the first place
Could work, just not made by that people
>"The Boys: Mexico"
Who's the main character? El Hermano de Homelander?

I see. Thanks for the answer.
season 1 is pretty great. the only piece of media to make me binge 90% of it in one night.
season 2 is kind of meh and forgettable.
admittedly haven't watched season 3 because season 2 just kind of made me lose interest.
literally me
frick season 2
pretty sure Cyberpunk and Squid Game went against the shit they criticized within like a month of there perspective announcements/releases
It's already a parody, what did you think you were watching?
I enjoy the series but once Homelander dies, I'm out.
Season 3's ending literally kept him alive via asspull, they know full well viewers like you exist which is why he's not going anywhere for the next three seasons lmao
>El Cabrons
Might watch

You don't want beautiful latinxes to get opportunities as well?
Can we get some Tejanos on the show? Maybe at least one Latino who can't speak any Spanish?
