Re: TW: Sexual assault

Garth Enis definitely has a tons of Pizza Cutter qualities in his work (all edge, no point) and the show REALLY helped tone it down and focus it into something with some meaning. I've only read two issues and bounced off so I can't comment on what exactly they changed but the tone is so much more palatable to me personally and I love it.

AYRT - "pizza cutter qualities." I'd never actually heard that saying before, and I love it! I'm someone who actually enjoys some edge in my fiction, as long as it has a point and said point is being made relatively well. So "pizza cutter" is a suuuper useful term for me, because it distinguishes between edge-with-point and edge-just-to-be-edgy.

And yeah, I've only seen S1 of The Boys so far (I'm a little apprehensive about S2 but I'll get to it soon since I finally got Prime), but I really liked S1. I didn't expect to like it, AT ALL. But then it was like, hang on, there's actually some really good stuff here.

I have way too many opinions on GE considering I haven't forced myself to read much of his work, but I'm anon so no one can stop me.

I feel like the big question of The Boys Comic is "What if superheroes were as awful as I can get away with making them?" So there's stuff like Knock Off Professor X sexually abusing children and everything that happens to Starlight and MM has to drink his mother's breastmilk or else he'll die and also his mother is a mutated blob (maybe??) and the knock off Batman gets a brain tumor that makes him fuck hot coffee and it's just gross and mean.

Meanwhile, the tv show is like "What if super heroes were a tool of giant corporations, how would that impact our already imperfect media and criminal justice system?" and they just have something to say that I find worth hearing and I love it.

And yeah, I first heard the term "pizza cutter" in relation to Vampire the Masquerade larp characters and now it's permanently in my verbal toolbox.
