The Boys
It’s a bit baffling that Amazon’s violent spin on superheroes isn’t on its third PlayStation game by now. The Boys is a fever dream of a series in which a ragtag anti-superhero militia known as the Boys works to stop the reign of the superhero consortium The Seven. The central appeal of the show is that, even while it’s focused on genetically modified super freaks who can do things no ordinary human being can do, it’s also grounded in human imperfections like jealousy, carnal temptations, and greed. It doesn’t let that humanity get in the way of over-the-top action, though. We’ve seen a protestor get his head lasered off, a man’s body ripped apart by a miniature person who crawled inside of him and then expanded, and a superhero orgy too graphic to even try to describe. With superhero video games like Marvel Rivals popping up every two seconds and making a gazillion dollars, there’s no reason a similar type of game can’t be made within The Boys universe.
