The show has made a name for itself for constantly pushing the boundaries of outrageousness. Not only is it one of the darkest and wildest superhero adventures brought to life, but it is also perhaps the goriest show on television and always continues to one-up itself with its madness. As hard as it is to imagine for fans who have only seen the sho...

However, considering the tensions between Homelander and Butcher, it actually makes sense for the show to build towards the reveal. By s...
While it may seem a bit unfair to judge the two in this regard, the comics are the whole reason the show exists in the first place. Since the launch of The Boysin 2006, author Garth Ennis took a very different approach to superheroes. This dark, gritty, yet highly comedic take on the superhero genre broke ground as the series explored the dangers o...
While the show may have made some drastic changes to Hughie, it arguably improves upon Billy Butcher. Firstly, Karl Urban is a perfect fit for the character.

- Vought Isn't A Disney / Marvel Analog. While The Seven is still clearly modeled after DC Comics' Justice League, and there are nods to Zack Snyder's DC films, the series mostly uses Vought to skewer the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its parent company, Walt Disney Studios.
