The Boys is, without a doubt, one of the most explicit and transgressive series airing now. But as violent and depraved as Amazon’s hit superhero show is, it’s nothing compared to the comics by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Even today, the comics are notorious for good reason. Its live-action adaptation, understandably, didn’t adapt most of it.What made Amazon’s The Boys superior to its juvenile and self-indulgent source material was how it only borrowed its basic premise and drastically improved it. The series excised the comics’ outdated commentary, pointless edge and misery, and many questionable scenes. Even The Boys’ fans are grateful that most of the comics will never be adapted.Besides lacking any actual edge, this scene was another sign of The Boys’ age. It played on the debunked urban legend involving Richard Gere and a gerbil. Amazon’s The Boyshas lots of raunchy jokes, but they fit their characters better (like The Deep) and did more than lazily reiterate how vile the supes were compared to the chaste, hypermasculine Boys.
