Comment on Antony Starr is glad ‘The Boys’ is ending: “I don’t like seeing things outstay their welcome”
Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 1 week agoI don’t think they are suggesting Butcher had depth. Just that they think the core of the characters and what made them interesting was changed needlessly.
By the way, I also loved the show Preacher and I’m glad they changed it from the comics. But I also understand being upset by it. Sometimes I want adaptations to get the core of the characters right and sometimes I’m totally fine with a more inspired interpretation of a story that I like.

But there was nothing interesting about the characters of the comic is my point. Depth is what makes characters interesting. The show adds literally everything you think is interesting about that store in those characters. I mean really I don’t know if you’ve never read it but those comics are absurd. Butcher and his boys are basically Garth Ennis projecting how much he hates superheroes on to comic book pages. It’s just him thinking how awesome it is to murder Comic Book Heroes. That’s it there’s there’s no depth of character there’s nothing interesting there. It’s a bad comic.
