Eeeeeeh. I'm not sure how fair it is to compare a super hero show to its source material. I haven't read the comic for The Boys, but I am aware of how much the MCU deviates from the comics they're based on. Not to mention, even if the story were 100% the same, the change of medium from print to live action can change quite a lot. After seeing the original Harry Potter movie, I read through the books as soon as they came out. Seeing that giant snake in the movie "The Chamber of Secrets" was so much freakier to me than just reading about it in the book. It almost turned into a horror movie to me, it was so tense.

Agreed, which is why I don't want to watch all this graphic physical and sexual violence in live action on the big screen. The Boys is a big hit show, so many people clearly enjoy this content, but it's too brutal and sadistic my tastes.

Understandable. I don't like overly gory things either. It's one of the things that kinda turned me off from Attack on Titan. However, I don't know. Sometimes I'm able to tolerate it for shows like The Walking Dead and The Boys. I don't know exactly what the difference is.

Well, okay, here's a list:

Black Mirror
Dark
The Umbrella Academy
Legends of Tomorrow
Love, Death and Robots
The 100
Altered Carbon
3%
The Rain
Supergirl
Travelers
Sweet Tooth
Russian Doll

Ooh!  Love, Death, and Robots.  Forgot that one.

That is sooo up my alley, yet I haven't actually watched all that much of it.  But what I have seen I have really really enjoyed.  I honestly think I'm scared to finish it.  That I'm going to watch all of it and then be sad that there's no more.  Just pure binge overdose/withdrawal.

I have to approach it carefully, maybe mix it with some Cosmos or Webb images so I don't go cold turkey.

I can do this.  We can do this.  One day at a time.

I watched Attack On Titan with my brother while eating pizza rolls.  He got weirded out and it took me a quite a while to figure out the conncection.

Second attempt at watching Rebelde

Uncertain why I didn't continue with it before.

I binged The Book of Boba Fett today. I don't see why people didn't like it. I thought it was fine. Maybe it didn't live up to the high standards of The Mandalorian, but it wasn't an incoherent mess like Obi-Wan.

Was it the colorful biker gang who looked like they belonged in Cyberpunk? It was the biker gang, wasn't it?
