I hate super hero stuff and I like The Boys, because it's kinda a parody of the other ones (I think, haven't seen many). Like, it's exactly what superheroes would actually be like if there were such a thing in America: sociopathic, managed by a multi billion dollar corporation with idpol PR that monetizes everything about them, integrated into the military industrial complex to do war crimes, etc etc
The CIA opposition to the supes seemed more like a "hey, only we're allowed to do assassinations an coups, back off our terf!" Type rivalry. Not really overt CIA apologism like most capeshit.
Haven't seen it! As I said, I try to avoid the genre, but I heard Abby Martin saying good things about this one, so I checked it out. Would love to hear other people's opinions, should I watch The Watchmen too?

Watchmen is meh. It's really libertarian, especially the movie.
