Badd Medicine here and its The Boys reaction time
The first season of the American superhero television series The Boys, the first series in the franchise based on the comic book series of the same name written by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, was developed for television by American writer and television producer Eric Kripke. The season was produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Point Grey Pictures, Original Film, Kripke Enterprises, Kickstart Entertainment and KFL Nightsky Productions.
The first season of the series stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Kapon, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, and Elisabeth Shue. The story takes place in a universe where most of the superpowered individuals are recognized as superheroes, but in reality abuse their powers for personal gain, information the public is kept unaware of. The series follows the eponymous Boys (led by Billy Butcher), a group of vigilantes looking to bring down Vought International and expose its corrupt superheroes. When his girlfriend is accidentally killed by A-Train, Hughie Campbell joins the Boys to get revenge against the Seven. Meanwhile, Annie January is forced to face the truth about those she admires, after she joins the Seven, led by Homelander. The Boys attempt to stop Vought from receiving government support for superheroes by uncovering the company's secrets. When Hughie and Annie begin a romantic relationship, the conflict is muddled despite the two of them initially being unaware of each other's affiliations.

under what rock do you guys live?!

[@dlweiss]

I think the significance of the baby poster is that it represents Hughie’s inner conflict at the moment: on the one hand, he doesn’t wanna feel (and be treated) like a baby, on the other hand the slogan says “keep your hands clean” to represent his conscience and his hesitation to commit intentional violence. But then the baby covered in red spaghetti sauce also reminds him of being covered in Robin’s blood (and foreshadows what’s about to happen again once he makes his choice).

[@kjlucky6501]

To me, Homelander never taking off the suit means, unlike how the other supes seem to play some role for the company, Homelander IS Homelander. There is no point where his supe identity ends and a “normal” person begins. There’s a lack of humanity there. It makes him feel more like a “god” amongst men (and even amongst other, lesser gods), which is what Stillwell wants. But because she’s convinced him that he is a god, the most powerful of all, he looks down on the world and believes than not only to the “rules” not apply to him, he makes his own rules. It’s very much like the mythological gods fighting with each other, wreaking havoc on humanity and Zeus being the biggest troublemaker of all lol

[@samdavis1128]

Oak" Theres a thing here! I can sense it!!" Mason: "VERY perceptive of you" 😂😂😂😂

Hughie was definitely struggling with how massively this whole thing escalated and the "Keep Your Hands Clean" was him wrestling with the fact he was going to be part of a murder.

[@shinobi4317]

Of course yeah

[@VonPatzy]

The poster is about Hughie’s innocence and decision to go down the rabbit hole into his new life. The series starts with him as a radio shack employee living in his childhood superhero bedroom. Not only does the button in his hands mark the end of that innocence it literally makes his decision to get his hands (and face) dirty. Ch ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb. He’s all in.

The Boys was a comic series but the show is more inspired by rather than drawing from the comics. There are some moments that were in the comics but may have been changed a bit (Starlight was ...ummm... auditioning with 3 people, not just The Deep) but the show is ultimately just using a lot of the same characters and going with a whole different story. Hughie in the comics was based on Simon Pegg's image, which is why he's Hughie's dad in the show ha.

[@quickie17]

In all honesty the show is levels above the comic, which to be honest was absolutely terrible

[@sahilrahman5066]

[@Glitchy_evilvic]

In the comics of the deep wasn’t even involved in the starlight incident

[@chadwheeler8189]

It's the spaghetti sauce and Robin's blood. When you've got a character that is having conflict of morality, it's important to remember their primary motivation. Everything else we know about him and his dad tell us that he would normally never entertain the thought of homicide or revenge. He's a character with pure motivations that has been thrust into a moral conundrum. What's the one thing that would push him over? Robin. Every decision he makes, at least at first, is because of Robin. Subsequently, the most simple explanation is that the baby reminds him of himself covered in Robin's blood. That's why as he stands there covered in Translucent's blood, he looks at the poster as if to say, "Here we are again.".

[@Deft002]

The show is based on a comic! However, the comic is even more graphic, and the show diverts heavily from the comics for the better. Even comic readers have been thrown for a loop trying to predict the story

[@joserodriguez2251]

The poster with the baby it was the constant reminder of huge's dad telling him how weak he is and to avoid conflict! By hue pulling the trigger meant that he had it with been weak!.

[@kevinAQ0607]

This show is based on a comic by Garth Ennis. He notoriously hates superheroes and made the comic to point out how stupid it would be if they existed. Objectively, the comic is terrible. This show is one of the few cases where I’d say the adaptation is better. The Showrunner and Writers took the basic concept and modified it into a mature story that actually works. A fun bit of trivia is that the comic version of Hughie is based on Simon Pegg, with the intention of him being the live action version. However, because of the years of development, he’s no longer young enough to play Hughie, but got casted as his dad to keep the comic reference.

[@Renoistic]

I doubt someone who 'hates' super heroes would write super hero stories for decades. He sure loves hyper-violence and destructuring heroes, though.

[@kevinAQ0607]

@@Renoistic most of the “heroes” he writes about are the ones that fit in his comfort zone of violence. Brian Azzarello is the same. He wrote New 52 Wonder Woman, but you can tell he really just wanted to make a Greek Myth comic. You do whatever editorial suggests or just for the money.

[@tristanharrison3136]

i need these episode reactions to come out more frequently, they’re so good and i love watching y’all navigate your way through this amazing show. it only gets better!

[@xPershionx]

I'm pretty sure this was based off a comic. Hughie was actually based off of Simon Pegg, but by the time they made the show he was too old the play the main character, so they cast him as the dad instead :p

[@frankiefadda]

I'm so psyched you guys are gonna watch Wandavision and Loki! This was a great episode, The Boys only gets crazier🤘

[@wittynamehere_]

I'm sure others have confirmed that The Boys was, in fact, a comic book series. The whole theme is that if there were real super heroes on Earth, they would be jerks (to put it mildly). Who would keep them in check? Who would keep them from exploiting others? How do you develop morals and values when you have always been special and don't have to face your own mortality? It is really quite an interesting concept.

[@DeskIsUndead]

Every character and actor is amazing in this. I remember thinking id hate Frenchie, but he is like top 5

Thanks for reacting to this fantastic show guys 💓🌺

[@dalton6173]

Assuming by now someone has corrected you, it was based on a comic which was inspired because someone hated all of the tropes in superhero stuff. Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead was the inspiration for the Huey character. Therefore whenever they finally got around to making the TV show the cast Simon Pegg as the father even though he looks pretty much the exact same age she did back then because he looked old young... Then they hire someone who also looks like he could be 35 or 38 years old at the same time like I thought that was a full grown man like struggling to pay rent with all of his roommates type thing

[@BestAnimeFreak]

The newest season? Season 4? Nope, Season 4 will very likely not be the last. Kripke (the one who created the comics [and also The Walking Dead comics]) said in a tweet: "I'm here to prep & direct the Season 4 finale. No, not the series finale, there will be more!" So, season 5 seems to be confirmed, even though only backhandedly ^^

[@TheJerbol]

[@StumpyTales]

I took the baby poster as simply as "Keep Your Hands Clean" vs "Get Your Hands Dirty". It's a reminder of Hughie's conflict, maybe even feeding his conflict. Then he makes the decision to go all in, looks at the poster one last time, and jumps 'over the line'.

[@samdavis1128]

This show definitely is adapted from a comic but trust me the comic is much more Fd up than the show they had to dial some stuff down and change some plot lines

[@fihlay-9912]

The comic is even more brutal!

[@kjlucky6501]

From my understanding, Vought contracts many of their “supes” out to different areas around the country- state senators work with them to find the right supe to fit their image and appeal to their voters. Then there’s the 7, the sort of Justice League/Avengers focusing on the big bad guys and being the face of the company. Between their contracts, leased events, advertising and merchandise, they rack up quite a bit of $$$.

If you guys wanna check out more superhero shows, I would also recommend Agents of SHIELD, which ran for 7 seasons and was the first Marvel/MCU show created to run alongside the films. The show has since been made vague about its place in official MCU canon what with Disney and Marvel now having their own shows on D+, but it is still a corner of Marvel storytelling that is pretty amazing.

[@-zerxvil-5208]

Hope this help: The Boys is base of its comic. But the story and some heroes are modified for modern age. The Deep in the comics is the token black dude to shut up the rasist comment to Vaugh and the Seven. And the deep isn't even aquatic hero. He can fly and more like Wonder Woman (strength and flight) and can't even swim. In Translucent case, he didn't exist in the comic. Instead there's a Martian-man hunter version instead and yes he is an alien. The series don't include aliens like the comics did. Thats why they get rid of Translucent in 2 episode. There's no storyline for him. And in episode 1 they say Starlight replaced Lamplighter. He is actually in the comics and is like the Green Lantern of the Seven but instead of Lantern, he uses torch.

[@Sunnyking77]

Gonna be a big fan of Anthony Starr

[@TheOtterBear61]

I hope Agents of SHIELD is on your to watch list for superhero shows.

[@em8066]

The messy baby sign with "keep your hands clean" represented his internal conflict about choosing how far to go with this crusade. He's fighting corruption, but he's with a group calling for him to corrupt himself in the process. He's questioning whether the ends justify the means. The situation is at a point of no return in terms of his own safety, he will be found. So does he give up here, sacrifice his life but keep his integrity? Or does he lower himself to their level of killing? It's a point of no return. The sign also foreshadows that he's about to get covered in blood. It's a reminder for workers to wash their hands, and the baby is covered in red spaghetti sauce. Then it's splattered with Translucent's blood, just like him.

[@Sub2GigaChad]

I say it on every reaction channel- ep4 is what elevates this show above anything you've ever seen.

[@farlonmuentes6004]

the poster saying "keep your hands clean" is about hughie keeping his conscience clear. remember from the beginning of the episode that he is conflicted about killing translucent. it's him keeping his hands clean but by the end, it no longer is. by killing translucent, there's no going back from it.

Yes it’s a comic and comic is much more graphic.. It was originally that They were apart of the dc team and it was a side project, hence why they are similar to the justice league (superman, aquaman etc) and over time I think it was that dc went a seperate way and the company that made the boys were allowed to keep it as their own thing. So it’s not a rip off it’s more a alternate story with a bit more realism

Yes, The Boys was a comic and I have read a little bit of it, it's maybe even crazier than the show xD BUT the show deviates a lot from the comic and something that happens in the first few chapters in the comic, doesn't happen until season 3 ... and even then, it's a completely different scenario ... And one major side character in the comics, only shows up as a random "background" character for a few seconds and even his powers got changed ... poor comrade ... Oh and very important. Hughie in the comics was inspired by Simon Pegg and looks a lot like him. A reason he plays the father of Hughie in the show ^^
