I do believe that the murmurs of superhero fatigue are dying down. A couple years ago, people were saying that people are suffering from Superhero fatigue, however, I always challenged that because although that was being said, people were still going out of their way to watch shows like 'Invincible' and 'The Boys'. But these are comic book shows that have seemingly created a shift in the mindset of people who were watching WB's DC universe with Batman, Superman and the like, along with Disney's Marvel, Ironman, Captain America and the like. The Boys is different. The Boys is dark humour. The Boy is gory and also, insanely weird, everything the two aforementioned franchises are not and this trailer proves that.
If you have been following the story of Billy Butcher, he is a man who is seeking revenge on those who are super-powered and he has recruited a team of people to do the same. Huey, Mother's Milk, Frenchie and the Girl. Now along for the ride is Starlight and they all plan on taking down Vought, the corporate business behind Superheroes and their main supe, Homelander who not only is becoming out of control but is seemingly coercing Billy's son into doing the same as him. This trailer shows that there is tension rising and the supes are rejecting their corporate overlords to be recognised as God's and maybe, just maybe...enslave those who are not like them. Sometimes a second trailer is needed but with The Boys, the storylines and the action is so greatly done, upon one trailer, I am already interested and involved.
