The Boys is extremely cursed, but I mean it in a good way, I believe. It’s difficult to watch an episode without wondering, “What did I just witness?” for at least ten minutes later.
What. A. Show.
Eric Kripke created the American superhero TV show The Boys for Amazon Prime Video. It is based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and it follows the titular vigilante team as they fight against people who misuse their superpowers.
Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, and Nathan Mitchell are among the cast members of the show.
The comic book series adaptation, which was once planned to be a full-length movie, started its development in 2008 with Adam McKay as its director.
The project was abandoned while still in progress as a result of creative disagreements between the team and the studios that acquired the movie.
In 2016, Cinemax stated that it would be adapted into a television series, reviving the development for the project. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg were chosen to serve as the series’ executive producers, and Kripke was chosen to serve as its showrunner.
The series’ rights were acquired by Amazon Prime Video in November 2017, and Toronto-based filming got underway in May 2018.
Check out its trailer here:
On July 26, 2019, The Boys’ first season of eight episodes made its debut. On September 4, 2020, the second season debuted, and on June 3, 2022, the third season did the same. The show was given a fourth season in June 2022.
I need to see more
There will be “the most horrific thing” you’ve ever seen in season four of The Boys. I’m afraid. Remember that we’ve already seen a superhero orgie, which featured an octopus, and that there was the whole sneezing penis explosion incident?
I fear to imagine what else the program has in store. The Boys is currently the highest-rated superhero series out there, despite its curse.
According to Nielsen statistics, The Boys was the eleventh most streamed show overall in 2022, according to UNILAD.
The Prime Video series scored better than Loki, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk but fell short of Stranger Things, Wednesday, and The Crown. In 2022, a total of 10.6 billion minutes of the series were seen.
It’s actually quite shocking that not a single Marvel TV show made the top 15, as it were. The Boys is undoubtedly a more well-known film.
All of the Marvel programs have just made their season debuts, whereas the fourth season of the show is now in production. It’s still a remarkable accomplishment. Who is anticipating season four?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who starred in The Walking Dead, will be joining the cast, in case you missed it, and we’ve already gotten our first glimpse of Butcher and Homelander back in action. The Boys’ fourth season has not yet been given a release date.
Even the possibility that it will air this year is uncertain because of the ongoing filming. Well, let’s hope it does.
According to Sony, Kraven The Hunter, the next Spider-Man spinoff, will be the first Spider-Man movie to ever be given a R classification.
Kraven, The Hunter
Aaron-Taylor-Johnson plays Sergei Kravinoff, popularly known as Kraven, in the movie. The plot of the movie centers on Kraven’s goal to become the best hunter in the entire globe, which pits him against The Rhino, a venerable Spider-Man foe. Additionally, it will be a part of the Sony Spider-Man Universe and not the Disney Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Although there isn’t an official trailer for the film yet, red-band footage from a sequence where Kraven brutally eliminates a bunch of poachers—even going so far as to rip one of their noses off—was shown at Sony’s CinemaCon 2023. Based on this evidence, the film’s R rating appears to be well-deserved.
The R-rating may surprise Spider-Man fans who have only seen the movies, but comic book readers who are familiar with Kraven will know the hunter is one of the most violent and lethal villains in Spidey’s rogue-gallery.
Kraven the Hunter, a formidable and enigmatic character from the Marvel Comics universe, has captivated readers for decades. Known for his unparalleled hunting skills and cunning tactics, Kraven is a relentless and formidable adversary.
With his iconic lion’s mane and imposing physique, he strikes fear into the hearts of both heroes and villains alike. Kraven’s insatiable thirst for the ultimate prey drives him to seek out the most dangerous game, often setting his sights on capturing Spider-Man.
With his complex motivations and morally ambiguous nature, Kraven the Hunter stands as one of Marvel’s most intriguing and enduring characters, leaving readers eager to witness his next hunt.
Get Ready for Him
His outward look as a regular person is very deceiving because he actually possesses a few superpowers, like amazing strength, increased senses, endurance, and hand-to-hand fighting prowess. He has often pursued Spider-Man and has come dangerously close to killing the web-head.
You may expect some bloodshed when the movie is released because he employs a wide variety of weapons to kill his opponents, including spears, knives, axes, and more.
Although it is anticipated that Spider-Man won’t feature in the movie, there will probably at least be a few nods and references to the wall-crawler and his exploits.
He will also feature in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which will be released on the PlayStation 5 later in the year, as one of the game’s main enemies with Venom. This is not his only appearance this year.
Delays in the development of the movie caused a postponement, but it is now scheduled to open in theaters on October 6th of this year.
You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for a fresh new open world zombie role-playing game to keep you occupied because I have the perfect title for you. Oh, and Will Smith happens to be in it.
New Frontier for Will Smith
Will Smith, the iconic and versatile actor, has graced screens worldwide for over three decades. With his magnetic charisma and undeniable talent, Smith has become a household name, seamlessly transitioning between genres and captivating audiences with each performance.
From action-packed blockbusters to heartfelt dramas, he has left an indelible mark on the film industry. Now, Smith embarks on a new frontier, venturing into the world of gaming.
This unexpected move promises to bring his larger-than-life presence to a whole new audience, solidifying his status as a true entertainment powerhouse. Will Smith’s foray into gaming is set to redefine the boundaries of storytelling and elevate the gaming experience to new heights.
The Rise of Open World RPGs
You could be in need of a zombie fix. I’m sure you share my disappointment if you were hoping to hear more about The Last of Us franchise at PlayStation Showcase.
We are aware that a TLOU multiplayer game is in development, but so far we have only seen a few pieces of concept art. Naughty Dog did state that going forward, they wouldn’t reveal projects until they were almost done.
There is optimism because The Last of Us’ 10th anniversary is on June 14. Despite its recent resurgence, the Days Gone series also doesn’t provide a zombie fix because a sequel is still unlikely. In light of both of those factors, you might want to check out Undawn, which debuts on June 15.
Undawn is an upcoming free-to-play open-world survival role-playing game from creator Lightspeed Studios. It will launch on mobile and PC on June 15 and pre-registrations are already open.
It’s brave of them to use the term “infected” when The Last of Us is perhaps bigger than ever right now, but unfortunately, here we are. The synopsis reads, “Embark on an adventure with other survivors four years after a worldwide disaster where hordes of infected roam a shattered world.”
Unleasing Will Smith’s Charisma
As previously noted, Will Smith plays ‘famous survivor’ Trey Jones in the game, who will serve as a mentor for gamers. Humans in this universe have divided into various groups. In a battle for territory and resources, players who are a part of the Raven Squad will square off against members of the Clowns, Eagles, Night Owls, and Reivers.
Players will need to “brave rain, heat, snow, and storms while monitoring their character’s health and well-being to stay alive against overwhelming odds.”
In addition to fending off enemies, you’ll get the chance to “explore an expansive open world filled with diverse environments such as plains, mines, deserts, swamps, and abandoned cities, each with unique ecosystems and dangers.” Undawn sounds like a promising game, so it’s a bummer that consoles won’t be getting it.
Fans of GTA Vice City definitely appreciate the game’s outstanding music for introducing them to awesome 80’s hits. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which debuted for the PlayStation 2 in 2002, quickly gained a reputation as one of the top games of all time and the best game in the series. In all honesty, we wouldn’t contest the statement if it were made that GTA: Vice City is the best game in the series. Undoubtedly, Rockstar Games had a future classic on its hands.
More Than Just a Game
Miami, a real-world and iconic city, served as the inspiration for Vice City’s setting. A bustling populace, neon lights, sandy beaches, stunning sunsets, and much more. It also showed a mock criminal underworld and shady business dealings. Gangs that won’t hesitate to kill their rivals, drug trafficking, loan sharks, and an extremely high level of corruption. We could honestly go on and on about how much we adore GTA: Vice City, but the game’s outstanding soundtrack was another factor that contributed significantly to its notoriety. In the past, we probably spent more time listening to the game’s radio station than really even playing it. We suppose that’s the beauty of it too!
Music Touches You
Since GTA: Vice City is set in the 1980s, which some consider to be the height of music, the radio station exposed its listeners to a ton of absolute bangers throughout that time period. And we’re not referring to Prawn Island’s InterGlobal Studios. Additionally, Reddit users have been praising the GTA: Vice City music. Many players and fans have mentioned how the songs they were listening to on the radio had an impact on them today or how much fun it was to merely listen to music while driving.
GTA: Vice City has been released on a wide range of platforms since its initial release, and for good reason—it’s a brutally amazing game. In 2021, it was included in the notorious Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, which also contained remastered versions of GTA III, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas. Sadly, to say that it was in horrible shape when it launched would be an understatement. The collection is now in a lot better shape than when a lot of us last played it, and we can definitely put some thought to going back to Vice City.
