we'll see, when lower budget stuff like the boys is so much better. I guess Marvel is becoming more and more for the kids.
Problem with a series like The Boys is that it's not something that could be whittled down to a film trilogy and sanitized enough to have big screen clearance for a wide audience. Frankly, I wouldn't want it to be.

We certainly don't want that. If Butcher isn't dropping the C-word every other sentence that ruins a lot of the charm.
Honestly, I'm going to be disappointed if he doesn't change his mind and
Spoiler:in the next season. That seemed out of character.
kill that fu#king kid anyway
I don't agree that The Boys couldn't be adapted to a film trilogy. Honestly 90% of the story is soap opera filler drama anyway.
A film trilogy with a "boss fight" against a member of the Seven serving as the climax of each film, with the final film culminating in the deaths of Homelander and Noir, would probably be better paced than the show and comics which have a dreadful obsession with maintaining status quo. I convinced my friend to skip season 2 entirely so that he could watch S3 with me and he's had no trouble understanding what's going on with the plot.
You're right that sanitization would be a problem though. No one is taking a chance on a comic book film trilogy without making it PG-13.

You're not wrong.
The maintenance of status quo was my biggest problem with Season 3.

DC is getting cancelled and rightfully so. Fuck them.
Kinda sad on Warner Bro's part, They own the rights to do movies on all of the DC properties and they fumble around in the dark with them.

Fu#kin Disney/Marvel. If you find yourself wondering why so many recent Marvel films have had highly questionable visual effects...
Why So Many VFX Artists Are Fed Up With Marvel
"When I worked on one movie, it was almost six months of overtime every day. I was working seven days a week, averaging 64 hours a week on a good week. Marvel genuinely works you really hard. I've had co-workers sit next to me, break down, and start crying. I've had people having anxiety attacks on the phone."
"The other thing with Marvel is it's famous for asking for lots of changes throughout the process. So you're already overworked, but then Marvel's asking for regular changes way in excess of what any other client does. And some of those changes are really major. Maybe a month or two before a movie comes out, Marvel will have us change the entire third act. It has really tight turnaround times."
"The studio has a lot of power over the effects houses, just because it has so many blockbuster movies coming out one after the other. If you upset Marvel in any way, there's a very high chance you're not going to get those projects in the future. So the effects houses are trying to bend over backward to keep Marvel happy. [...]_One visual-effects house could not finish the number of shots and reshoots Marvel was asking for in time, so Marvel had to give my studio the work. Ever since, that house has effectively been blacklisted from getting Marvel work."

You a make a fair point breaking it down like that, considering a film trilogy would run around 6 to 7.5 hours total and a season of The Boys is around 8 hours, so we'd only lose some useless filler.
Aye, a non hard R-Rated The Boys would be meh at best.
