>constantly told show is a good adaptation of a bad comic

>leans into pointless gore further and further
>any message is incredibly surface level and rings hollow due to being made by amazon, coated with the most corporate normalfag music and art + the female lead bogging herself while her character's arc is breaking free of le patriarchal society and all the awful vain aspects of it
>apparently has doubled down on this shit further (can't comment as I decided that was enough of a waste of my time)
>comic starts off seeming like not much other than edge but then eventually becomes a pretty well thought out if not subtle criticism of Bush era political policy/neoconservatism, modern corporate culture and vigilantism that the author had written comics about previously
Do people just have their heads screwed on backwards when it comes to opinion about this series or what?

It's not a good adaptation, or a good show, and it's still not a good comic.

I'm not even sure how you'd market Crossed.

Nobody who defends the show actually ever read the comic.
The comic isn't great or arguably even good but the show is a total misrepresentation of it and what themes and story elements it had. The fags who wank it into oblivion basically just jerk off muh homelander moments.

Who fucking cares
The boys comic isn't good and comics in general aren't good
They're all manchildren slop filled with contrivances, plot holes, and errors with shitty narrative framing
Who cares about bad adaptations when the source is always shit

I can see them using taglines like "The Walking Dead is paradise compared to this"

you mean a terrible adaption of a mediocre comic, you need to scale the rating back a little bit.

The funniest part of this show is how its defenders tried to claim that their cringeworthy girl power scene is actually "writers showing how these kinds of scenes should be done right"

I mean they don't have the balls to go all the way with it right? I think any true adaptation of Crossed won't be able to go all the way. Still though if it does well enough I wonder if they'll adapt the better arcs like the stuff with Smokey or Mattias, though it will probably just devolve into the gore porn the series is known for.

There’s really no point discussing the show. Fans will bend over backwards and do mental gymnastics to jsustify just awful writing.

It wasn’t some new thing either. Season 1 had the benefit of being fresh at least but the amount of times certain things happen that should be important and affect the story and characters happens, but is immediately forgotten is ridiculous.

Plus the bizarre double standards

The writers straight up don’t care.

Probably one of the more egregious ones IMO was Starfire killing a random dude to steal his car, she then says she doesn’t feel guilty at all and for some reason butcher. Mr I hate supes abusing their power, is happy about this

Oh, Starfire is mad at Hughie for working with butcher now “because he’s a murderer”? Wow. It’s gonna be crazy when Hughie founds out she is too… I guess nobody told him ever. Not even butcher to drive a wedge between them

Just so much obvious shit, you can see the writers room process

>we need to insert (progressive idea) here, what basic ass story can we make to justify it? Don’t worry, it doesn’t need to make sense

>Starfire: Hughie can’t have powers because he’s under threat by the most powerful man on earth and wants to protect himself and his beloved… that’s toxic masculinity! No compound V for you Hughie!

>Starfire: awwww kimiko loves French gay man? I know your whole plot was about not wanting to be a weapon who hurts people. Byt you deserve the compound V. You want to protect someone you love, that’s different from Hughie somehow. Haha now you are having a comedic scene where you brutally murder innocent security guards while music plays! Truly you have stopped being a weapon

Oh and another I just remembered

>Starfire calls out homelander as some maniac killer and Vought for being monsters on livestream. Music crescendo. Nervous faces in Vought. This is treated like a big deal

Next episode

>literally meant nothing. Nobody cares. They didn’t even bother Revoking Starfire security clearance. Bitch just casually walks into the building. Into the high security biological lab, and steals compound V

Haven’t watched the new stuff but apparently the writers had Hughie get raped by someone pretending to be starlight and she blames him for this. Writers are just very Jewish and brainrotted

Season 1 is garbage too.

But Season 1 still just gore and men getting cuccked by women.

But, anon, it's what grown ass adults watch. After all, it has lots of uncensored penises and uses the word "fuck" 400 times per season. How could it not be good?
