I bet you’d like The Boys if you like stuff like Kickass. It’s a show that takes the piss out of the concept of superheros but at the same time takes the concept very seriously and has some fantastic character-driven stories.
While I know what you mean, I think for some it could take a bit longer for them to know if they like it. You’ll know if you like the gratuitous violence very quickly, but the first episode spends a lot of time laying down the show’s delightfully cynical worldview. I knew by the end of the first episode I liked the show, but I wouldn’t say I knew within the first 5 minutes.
Not exactly spoiler material as it happens in the first 5 mins of the series but when A-Train runs through Hughie’s girlfriend in a mist of red while Hughie is still holding her hands/forearms… I was like… DDDAAAAMMMNNN. This is awesome. From there it just got better.
That’s a shame you really are missing some pretty incredible movies/shows. But yeah, you can probably skip 95% of them and your life isn’t worse or anything lol
Daredevil S1 on Netflix is pretty fantastic. Jessica Jones brought a lot of heat too and is based off what is widely regarded as the best JJ comic run (Alias).
If you’re ever feeling a pull towards the genre but you don’t want to go all in with Superman and Thor and all of that stuff, I highly recommend it.
I haven’t seen any super hero movie since the first spiderman with Tobey Maguire.
Well, no serious one. I’ve watched Deadpool and Kickass.

The Boys is amazing. You’ll know if you like it within the first 5 minutes I guarantee it.

I watched the first season but couldn’t bring myself to watch the second. I just got the ick too much from it to have any enthusiasm to finish it
