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.
