In “The Boys” there are a few scenes that are removed because they are controversial, but when it comes to making a joke or parody against Marvel Studios or DC Comics and their movies, the Amazon series does not back down and its teasing is constant .
Movie “Dawn Of The Seven”
During the two seasons of ‘The Boys’ you can see how The Seven, the most famous and powerful super team, are marketing products and owned by the company Vought, so much so that they have starred in many movies.
The most recent return in the second season is titled “Dawn Of The Seven”, which is a parody of the name of the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”, and even the logo of the movie has the same aesthetics as the one from “Man of Steel” by DC.
Marvel Girl Power
In the movie ‘Avengers: Endgame’ during the final battle against Thanos there is a scene in which all the heroines of MCU pose together and prepare to go through the enemy army and hand over the Infinity Gauntlet to Ant-Man. However, this scene received some criticism and ‘The Boys’ took advantage of it.
In the second season, one of Vought’s tactics to sell “Dawn Of The Seven” is to use the fictional phrase to empower women. However, the last chapters show the real empowerment, as Kimiko, Starlight and Queen Maeve beat Stormfront.
They were making fun of Disney + and HBO Max
As part of the series’ marketing campaign, videos from a news bulletin in The Boys universe called Vought News Network hosted by Cameron Coleman have been posted on YouTube, but are on a commercial break for a video released in September 2021 where Streaming platforms that have superhero content are ridiculed.
Although the Amazon series is also broadcast exclusively on one of these paid streaming services, this has not stopped the super The Sevens from appearing offering content only available on Vought +.
Ant-Man and his romantic comedy in “The Boys”
In the January 2022 section of the Vought News Network news bulletin, the presenter announces the news that the hero Termite, who has the ability to shrink to the size of an insect, has a new movie on Vought +, with a clear reference to its hero Marvel. .
The movie is supposed to be called “Pocket Romance” and it concerns Dolly, a lonely toy store clerk, who discovers the superhero hiding among some action figures while on a secret mission. They both embark on an adventure and discover that no matter how great one is, sometimes finding true love is the greatest mission of all.
Snyder Cut’s prank on “The Boys”
Before the arrival of the third season, Amazon released a trailer for the movie “Dawn Of The Seven” in the universe of “The Boys”, but this version is different from the story recorded in the series, because in it Stormfront is a much of the story as a Homelander superhero and collaborator.
The way “The Boys” justifies the change and the new scenes where Homelander attacks Stormfront and calls her “fucking Nazi” is saying that this film is the director’s version of Adam Bourke without the changes he made. in the screenplay a screenwriter named Josh.
This is a mockery of the way Zack Snyder made the movie “Justice League”, but a family tragedy forced him to quit the project and Joss Whedon returned much of it and it was poorly received by fans. After many years of demanding and demanding the release of the version of Snyder’s film, in 2021 it premiered on HBO Max.
Even Snyder himself reacted to the trailer for the directorial version of “Dawn of the Seven: The Bourke Cut” and on Twitter congratulated the fictional director and said he was excited that his vision had come true.
