If you are a fan of superhero action, you will love the series; The Boys and Invincible. How bloody can a movie be!
The boys which began airing on 26th July 2019 is a dark superhero film that shows what could happen if our beloved superheroes break bad or have their personal agendas. The show gives us a lot of interesting characters like Homelander, Queen Mave, A-train, Starlight and so on.
One of the characters that we can’t seem to stop talking about in the series is Homelander who we got to see as a ruthless, egocentric, lonely motherfucker with an attitude and a whole lot of childhood issues.
This made him feared among his teammates who knew exactly who he was with the rest of the population in the dark about their beloved superhero. What a shame!
Invincible on the other hand, a cartoon television series that aired on march 25th 2021 also gave us interesting characters like Omni man, Atom eve, Invincible and so on.
The show tells us about a young upcoming superhero boy finding out that his modelled superhero dad(Omni man) isn’t who he claims to be.
Both series being similar in their dark, twisted, and bloody nature is exactly one of the reasons we love them very much. This is why the faceoff between the homelander of the boys and Omni man of invincible doesn’t seem to end as to whom showed us what brutality and massacre is.
How Is Homelander Brutal
During the series, we got to see different levels of homelander and his brutality. One particular thing I noticed in the show is the fact that homelander has not landed a punch yet, probably because he hasn’t met his match since he is assumed to be strongest presently in the show.
All he does is just laser people in half and kills “the bad guys”. Some superhero he is. I guess this is why we love the show as we get to see the evil side of superheroes.
They are not your typical superheroes, they are just “supes”, nothing heroic to see there guys. We can also point out different scenarios in the show where homelander shows his evil side like the incident on the plane, how can we forget the incident on the plane, that is basically where the show took a dark and twisted form.
Lasers up and down, killing here and there. So much potential from this guy and lots more of killing to be expected from him.
How is Omni Man Brutal?
The transformation of Omni man took a very drastic turn when we first watched him exhibit his brutality when he massacred the guardians in the show living us to ponder on why a being will be so bloody and ruthless. Heads up peeps, not a pleasant sight I must tell you.
Although the question was later answered in the latter part of the show with him being an extra-terrestrial soldier on a mission on the planet, it still doesn’t justify his killings having had a family of his own with the people he kills and sees as nothing. At least, a level of empathy is supposed to be there. As we dive deeper into the show, the more he showed us his brutal side living countless dead bodies, broken homes and destroyed buildings. He is a planet conqueror, so what do you expect.
My Opinion
For those of us that have watched both shows, it was evident to me that Omni man did it for us. His display of lack of emotions was top-notch from his wife and son down to lowlife of a planet earth in his words. Lol, we’re just another planet to be conquered by the viltrumites, how funny is that.
