Sorry Marvel, but your small-screen cousin understands superhero girlbosses better.
The Big Picture Amazon Prime’s The Boys has never been subtle in its mockery of superhero fiction. It doesn’t discriminate between Marvel and DC, often pulling directly from scenes and scenarios from the two franchises, like the reference to the Synder Cut in Season 3. One plot line that clearly parodies the MCU also occurs in Season 2, as Vought tries to introduce a “girl power” narrative when they put three female heroes in The Seven for the first time.
'The Boys' Gives Us a Critical Take on How Women Are Treated in Superhero Stories The Boys' critical take on the superhero genre also extends to the way female Supes are treated, not only by their male Supe counterparts but by men in the general public and fans of Vought's films.
'The Boys' Season 2 Finale Does Girl Power Right As the season progresses, we discover that Stormfront is a Nazi who has committed hate crimes and earnestly talks of white genocide, becoming the main villain of the season along with Homelander. Starlight works as a double agent for the Boys, turning against Vought, Homelander, and Starlight specifically. When she helps the Boys rescue Becca and Ryan , Stormfront shows up to stop them.
