news culture Without Marvel, The Boys would never have existed? A celebrity puts his foot in the bowl

In the late 2000s, Marvel Studios changed the face of superheroes, and today these costumed law enforcement officers continue to saturate theaters and small screens. Conversely, it took a toll on Amazon Prime Video with the series The Boys, especially as this adaptation of the comics reveals their darkest sides. We can therefore wonder whether The Boys could have seen the light of day without Marvel, its comics and its adaptations: in any case, Seth Rogen, executive producer of the series, has the answer to this question.

Homelander and his Acolytes inspired by the MCU movies?
The films of Marvel Cinematic Universe they opened the door to more satirical productions centered around superheroes ? The question is interesting to underscore, and what better answer than to ask one of the series’ producers, in this case Seth Rogen. Granted during an interview total moviewho also wears the actor’s cap on the big screen admitted he wasn’t a huge fan of MCU adaptations, unlike the comics he devoured as a youngster. He also shares this love of comics with his friend Evan Goldberg, also executive producer of the series The young.
I think Kevin Feige is a brilliant man and I think a lot of the filmmakers he hired to make these films are great filmmakers. But for someone who doesn’t have kids… That’s sort of the target audience for these movies, you know? As an adult, I would tell myself that this is not for me.
I remember when The Boys first came out. We were big Garth Ennis fans because we had read Preacher before and bought it. We had the same experience that audiences have today, which is, “Oh, we’ve been reading Marvel for 15 years and now there’s things like this that offer a new take on superheroes” (…) It’s the same genre, except that a younger audience is not considered. In reality, The Boys is aimed more at an adult audience.
Still if The young is so different from the Marvel movies, it still wouldn’t be the same without the MCU feature films, and Seth Rogen recognizes this himself as he thinks that ” Honestly, without Marvel, The Boys wouldn’t exist and wouldn’t be interesting »especially because she is able to see the opposite tone of these productions to feed her satirical side. Anyway, The Boys are doing well thanks to Marvel, and the best is yet to come!

On this subject, this derived series called ” Gen V », promises us to follow the education of young superheroes within Godolkin University under the direction of Vought International.
