There is little doubt that The Boys isn't all about glorifying superheroes like the Marvel and DC films out there. Interestingly, Eric Kripke has even gone as far as claiming that superheroes would be "d-cks" if they actually existed.
Kripke and the cast of The Boys recently discussed the show's unique take on the superhero genre at San Diego Comic-Con. During the panel, the showrunner stated that the Amazon Prime series intends to reveal just what people should expect if superpowered beings were real (via io9).
Kripke also pointed out that the series somehow mirrors the current political realities.
Finally, Kripke summed up what the series is all about.
Are you ready for The Boys? The series is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
