Amazon found a surprise streaming hit at the end of July with its launch of The Boys, a comedy series that offers an irreverent take on what a gang of Earth’s mightiest, potty-mouthed heroes — with the show’s central conceit being that these are superheroes you don’t look up to. They don’t use their power for good, necessarily.
The series, which Amazon quickly picked up for a second season, debuted on the streamer two months to the day after Avengers: Endgame landed in theaters. It’s possible that fans of the superhero genre were still hungry for something else along those lines, with Marvel tying a bow on its run of 22 movies in that chapter of the MCU.
