When I tell people I've never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.

I haven't seen any super hero movie since the first spiderman with Tobey Maguire.

Well, no serious one. I've watched Deadpool and Kickass.

I bet you'd like The Boys if you like stuff like Kickass. It's a show that takes the piss out of the concept of superheros but at the same time takes the concept very seriously and has some fantastic character-driven stories.

The Boys is amazing. You'll know if you like it within the first 5 minutes I guarantee it.

While I know what you mean, I think for some it could take a bit longer for them to know if they like it. You'll know if you like the gratuitous violence very quickly, but the first episode spends a lot of time laying down the show's delightfully cynical worldview. I knew by the end of the first episode I liked the show, but I wouldn't say I knew within the first 5 minutes.

Not exactly spoiler material as it happens in the first 5 mins of the series but when A-Train runs through Hughie's girlfriend in a mist of red while Hughie is still holding her hands/forearms.. I was like.. DDDAAAAMMMNNN. This is awesome. From there it just got better.

I watched the first season but couldn’t bring myself to watch the second. I just got the ick too much from it to have any enthusiasm to finish it
