[B][I]The Boys[/I][/B] is way too busy being one guy's angry rant to even be "Solid..." as a piece of deconstruction.
It ain't even in the same league as the other work, and never will be.

This. Watchmen is a masterpiece, The Boys is fun.
To me, [B][I]The Boys[/I][/B] is actually too "Inside Baseball..." to even count as "Fun".
To actually get even eighty-five percent of it, it requires the reader to know [B][I]a whole lot[/I][/B] of "Comics" history.

Personally Boys is much more entertaining and I never intend to read Watchmen a second time. I vote Boys. Btw love the show, haven't watched Watchmen,yet

What about show vs show. What characters do you like in Watchmen... how about Boys
Watchmen has a better comic, The Boys is a better show

You mean the Watchmen movie, or HBO show. I'd say though different I enjoyed the shows about equally.

Watchmen was deconstruction.
The Boys is destruction.

I love Homelander. The 1st evil Superman I like. Don't care for Manhattan or Injustice or Snyder's nightmare Supes
I'm so ready for Tek Knight
I love the Deep
The Boys was a really fun tv show. Watchmen is a really good comic.
The Boys Comic: Meh
The Boys Show: Fantastic
Watchmen Comic: Love it
Watchemen Movie: Great
Watchmen Show: Fantastic
I'm delighted that The Boys/Ennis drives the fanboys insane with his take on capes.
[QUOTE=DanMad1977;4915539]The Boys Comic: Meh

Exactly how I rank them too.
Watchmen is realistically cynical.
The Boys is just mean spirited bitterness and rage.
Is Garth Ennis mean spirited and angry? Is Alan Moore cynical? Are they both bitter people?
