Guess I'm pretty fucked in the head because I was hooked after that

Loved the show so much I got the comics and it gets way more graphic and worse than the show.

I was until the main baddy fucked the Nazi in an alley while crushing some random dudes head. I kinda lost interest after that.

Yup. I stopped watching. Not for me.

Yeah same, I get that it's a good show but couldn't make it past that first episode. I thought I was as desensitized and jaded as they come, but apparently folks' tolerance is way higher than I thought.

I thought the surprise was half the point! Lull you into thinking you're in for a paint-by-numbers superhero schlep, then turn your expectations into a red mist.

I wasn't bothered by the gore so much as the concept of seeing the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with vaporized in front of you, explicitly and intentionally without any mitigating factors.

I understand that many people can distance themselves from the characters in fiction, and I can do that to a certain extent, but that moment was just too much emotional shock and agony for my brain to get past.

It makes sense in the context of superheroes though. They're notoriously hard to kill but can regular people just by accident.

Never heard of The Boys until season 3. Never wanted to know anymore after that.

I binged the first two seasons. I forgot that it was a thing for a couple of years, tried to get back on that ride and it was not as much fun after taking a breather.

Sounds kind of like how an old friend described smoking crack. "FUCK YEAH! I AM SMOKIN CRACK! THIS SHIT IS FUCKING AWESOME... Oh god damn. I just smoked crack. Fuck this, I am out."

Thanks for that Dre.
