Over the years, superheroes have become a core tenet of modern media. Comic books, movies, TV shows—they’re everywhere. Yet, this popularity has recently come to a screeching halt due to some dull and lackluster stories. That is, except for two TV shows that are still going strong…
The Boys and Invincible each offer an alternative viewpoint on these classic archetypes. They expose the darker side of these mythic worlds, and even poke fun at many of the tropes we’ve become accustomed to over the years. Through this we get a greater sense of what it might truly be like for a Superman to walk among us.
The Boys and Invincible present us with The Reality Of Heroes.
