TheBoys season 3's Frenchie actor Tomer Capone says that the Prime Video series has ruined superhero movies for him. 'I used to think that men in Spandex who have special powers are cool. But this show just wiped that away.'
Tomer Capone, who portrays Frenchie on The Boys, says that the show has ruined superhero movies for him. Superhero movies have always been popular with audiences, such as the likes of Christopher Reeves' Superman in the late '70s and Michael Keaton's Batman in the late 80's, but it wasn't until roughly the last decade or so that they truly became their own major genre of film.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Based on the comic of the same name created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys is about a world full of superheroes who have become corrupt due to their power and celebrity status. However, a group of mercenaries has teamed up to attempt to rid the world of the"supes" before it's too late.
I think it ruined the whole superhero experience for me. I used to think that men in Spandex who have special powers are cool. But this show just wiped that away. When I see superheroes on screen, I don’t buy it anymore. In the last 10 years, everybody was into the whole superhero thing, trying to run away from reality. And then I read The Boys and I’m like, ‘They took the genre and f*cking flipped it.
The Boys has provided audiences with some of the most despicable villains in film and TV history who act as a reflection of some of the most beloved heroes. The main antagonist of the show is Antony Starr's Homelander, who is meant to be a spin on DC's Superman. In just three seasons, this character has committed some of the most heinous atrocities a person can think of, including letting a plane full of innocent people die because only saving some of them may have affected his image.
It comes as no surprise that someone like Capone who is so close to the show now looks at all superhero movies differently because the message that The Boys gives its viewers is bone-chilling. While the likes of Superman and Spider-Man may be the best of the best, The Boys tells its viewers that if those heroes were real and not works of fiction, the power they wield would undoubtedly corrupt them.
