The Boys: Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker (2020)
A CW parody drama show
All thanks to writers- the boys S2 becomes a drama show - its only entertaining in parts. The original plot strengths are left out- takes 15 min to establish a setting that could easily be in 5 min. Completely off track and incoherent.
No drama fleshed out between characters that have potential.
The Boys: The Bloody Doors Off (2020)
Repetitive Theme in Storylines
The Boys go on a mission to find something that can be used against superheroes.
They find out a particular plot reveal, confront the antagonist only to be saved by somebody/some black mail at the end- only to reveal some other irrelevant plot details.
The last 3 to 4 episodes carry a similar line of narration. There are no stakes in standoff between boys and superheroes. What's stopping black noir to rip someone before they even want to talk? What's stopping homelander to laser any rats in seven? The Boys lost its fuel - the season 2 at its end and the after effects of season 1 are rarely explored. How come the wanted guys roam around as if their movements are not on the radar? Trying to cram different arcs only leads to a convulated mess. Was expecting better and real stakes which is only absent.
