The Boys (TV Series) - Timeline

[JudgeDreddpool]

I mean, it's fiction. It sounds extremely warped but it's Garth Ennis.

Yeah, but even Ennis had standards and didn't go too far with his runs on Crossed. The only reason that the comics got their infamy for the gore/r*pe was thanks to David Lapham run on Crossed: Family Values, which led to other writers using the comic series for shock value.

What did I suggest that sounded worse or darker? Connecting it to the themes plus the universe(s) of Preacher and The Boys, as if it's a Congo line of worst case scenarios?

Actually, nevermind.

I don't wanna have that discussion of "dark themes" right now.

*Fall 2025 2023 = 1 year after season 1.

The shit you gotta ignore for these timelines, sometimes.

They dont say 2025 in the video

 

[Pro Bot]

That's good. The title is an in-universe typo.

The 2024 presidental campaign promotional video for Season 4 had "2024" in the title but ommited in the video. I think the showrunners are aware that the timeline is more than a year behind our's.

 

[Pro Bot]

It would be questionable if the videos had it state it was years ago from our present day, so it makes sense.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

... honestly, I've just given up caring for The Boys/Gen V after how bad Season 4 was (the political stuff being more "in your face", the filler, the double standards of them treating male rape victims as dark comedy etc...), so I'm not gonna bother with the rest of the stuff they're doing.

 

[Pro Bot]

It is what it is, at this point. I respect that though.

Season 3's finale was honestly when the cracks in the writing started showing after Queen Maeve SOMEHOW managed to survive being blasted by Soldier Boy out of the Vought Tower despite being depowered, all because Kripke wanted to avert the whole "Bury Your Gays" trope.

Queen Maeve SOMEHOW managed to survive being blasted by Soldier Boy out of the Vought Tower despite being depowered

She's one of the stronger supes and had more Compound V in her blood, so it took longer for it to be fully burned out of her system. She didn't fully lose her powers until after surviving the explosion and fall
