This is in The BoysEU, but at its core it's a teen drama, and I'm not a teenage girl so therefore this isn't made for me. I'm not sure who this is made for. It's not for old people, it's not for young people, it's not for liberals, it's not for conservatives, it's not for people who like superheroes, or comedy, or good dialogue, or action scenes, storytelling, or character development.
I get it, all the characters have PTSD they haven't worked through and they all want to be the most famous superhero. And they're thirsty.
I'm a little confused by this choice in the portrayal of Tek Knight. I was looking forward to his appearance in The Boys, but now I don't think I care. The comics made him out to be more like Batman, and having a billionaire crime fighter without powers and a bunch of gadgets is arguably more entertaining than this guy. This guy isn't funny at all, but probably a lot cheaper to produce. The part they're keeping the same about him doesn't make sense when you change his relationship with technology. I know they changed some stuff around for The Boys, but they probably should have just made up a new character and given him a fetish that makes sense in this instance instead of appropriating Tek Knight. This is lazy writing and the writers' loose definition of the word "adaptation" ventures into Wheel of Time territory. Actually it gets worse the more I think about it (just like GenV!) because The Deep said something about convincing Tek Knight to go green in an episode of The Boys. Go green with what? He looks like he drives a Tesla to his job in middle management every day.
I don't understand the motivation behind the corporate entities. Like, why are they doing all of this besides "Because Vought"? I also don't understand why it's okay to show several dudes' junk but not topless women.
This episode is a slight improvement on the last one because it's not trying to be one of those shows/movies about high schoolers trying to win a dance contest or whatever, but it's not much of a- STEP UP. Get it?
GenV is pretty bad and I can't say I recommend it to anyone.
