The Boys 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.
To me, The Boys 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 a whole lot 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
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
The Boys was a really fun tv show. Watchmen is a really good comic.

I haven't read the Boys comics. I have read Moore's Watchmen and I think it is a stellar piece of work. A lot of comics gets lofty praise and once I have read them, they do fall somewhat short of expectations. Watchmen somehow exceeded my expectations even after everyone was already praising it as one of the finest works in comics. The writing and the art are both so perfect.
I think the Watchmen movie is decent, but it fails to really get the heart of the comics, just like most of Zack Snyder's work. I think he missed the point of Superman in both Man of Steel and BvS: DoJ and he completely missed the mark on Watchmen.
I was reluctant to try the Boys TV show, as it looked from the commercial like it was going to be crap. After a bunch of people swore by it, including one of my friends, I watched it and was surprised how much I loved it.
The Watchmen TV show completely surprised me. Maybe it's blasphemy to say, given the praise I already laid out for the comic, but if there was a 2019 version of the world that the comics set up, I could very well see the TV show being that. The show was brilliant. From what I understand, there won't be any more episodes since Lindeloff has stepped away. Maybe it's for the best. Sometimes things overstay their welcome, but man was the show something special.
