Why can't Marvel, with so many different superheroes, be more relevant in stirring debate around current events while The Boys does it easily?
The Big Picture Right now, we're living in one of those blessed periods for superhero fans, when new episodes of Gen V and Loki air within moments of each other. Both shows are getting great reviews and telling some great, weird stories that we love to see. The MCU and The Boys have become the two main powerhouses in the superhero genre nowadays , but they couldn't be further apart in what kind of stories they tell and, even when they do tell similar ones, in how they tell them.
With all due respect to the comics and the hardcore fans who've been around since day one, it's pretty safe to say that The Boys is mostly known for its flagship series on Prime Video, as well as its two spinoff series, The Boys Presents: Diabolical and Gen V. These shows may have even more creative freedom than the comics because they're not necessarily limited to the original storylines and can find success on their own terms.
‘The Boys’ Wouldn't Work As Well If It Didn't Incorporate Real-World Elements Into Its Story The main premise of The Boys in both the comics and the TV show is: What if superheroes were real? The answer is that they would live in the same world as us, watching the same news and having their thoughts similarly influenced by everyday things.
As a satire of the genre, the purpose of The Boys is to take all the ideas behind the superheroes — who are supposed to be just that, ideas for what we ourselves aspire to be — and show us how it would look in the mirror. Marvel can't do that because they aren't a satire, they're the ones who make the ideals. They do have satirical characters like Deadpool , but even he knows that he's part of a larger machine that just doesn't work like that.
