In what way are they well-written?

What were the villains in The Boys even like?

>aggressive netflix marketing
It's fun to watch the blatant Netflix and Amazon shill threads for their respective flagship tv shows. When the Witcher show actually comes out I fully expect Yea Forums and Yea Forums to be flooded with threads about it, all using the same image and text, the same way The Boys threads used that same pic of Homelander over and over.

they were just bad for the sake of being bad. No real motivation behind it. But they weren't poorly written. The skeksis were well executed, but I wouldn't say they were well written. They seemed to be all over the place.

...

what are you even talking about homelander has nuance

does he? Like how?

Literal test tube baby raised without any love becomes soulless monster with super powers

Whether or not the Skeksis are better villains than the ones in The Boys is subjective, but I think it had something to do with how unapologetically evil and fun they were. It's like watching the Disney villains from the 90s era all over again.

yeah, that's not nuance.

I agree with OP. Skeksis had more charm, better motivation, and better internal chemistry than the Seven. The Seven's only advantage is moral complexity and it'a really not complex unless you're the most basic capeshitter possible.

>The Boys, a show aimed at adults
wrong, it's aimed at teenagers.

this is true because I am 20 and I did not like it! If I was 19 still I would think it was awesome!

According to the ratings system it's for Mature Audiences so...

by staying true to jim's vision

nuance occurs in the execution of a concept, not the concept itself

Let’s compare and contrast:
>The Seven
Two faced assholes who do evil shit for fame and fortune.
>The Skeksis
Ancient beings who have a crippling fear of dying. Eventually they find the best way to prolong their life is to drain and consume the life force of their underlings. Their hubris leads them to eventually deplete their source or renewal and leads them back to square one.

the execution wasn't nuanced either.

I like how you minimize the boys, but elaborate on the skeksis. Grade A interwebs arguing, really showing them how it's done.

Pretty sure there's more to The Seven than that.

there is, just like how you can summarize the skeksis by saying they're greedy assholes who want to live forever.
