Depressed adult fairy tale

In the first episode, the difference between a power user's broken hand and an ordinary person's broken hand is intuitive and bloody.

I love the plot of episode 6. There is no absolute villain, just every helpless and painful individual under the chaotic fate. (Except some perverts such as Storm Girl)

People always have some luck, hoping that a small mistake will not lead to a catastrophe, and find a way to escape beforehand. But often times like this, Murphy's Law works like a shadow.

The subtle changes in the expression of the lamplighter here are too worthy of thought. From asking "why didn't you stop me at that time" with a sullen look, to "maybe I just like watching others get burned" with a nervous smile.

The fallen juvenile star, the broken heroic dream, and the pathetic cowardly self all appear on paper.

Revenge is not a ticket to open a legendary life, nor is it a password for redemption, it is just an endless black road to the abyss.

What can really comfort the victim's family is that the perpetrator is in pain and uneasy, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. After the revenge is over, there is a confused emptiness and lingering pain.

BOYS is actually a realistic theme. It uses absurdity, black humor, violence and blood and ubiquitous irony to map it. It is basically the chaotic world itself. The world is a hell of a lot, and everyone is more or less involuntarily involved in varying degrees of out of control, and we are often caught up in lies, confusion, and unconscious anger. But BOYS is also a fairy tale for adults. It tells us that when daily life is kidnapped by superheroes, supercapitals like Walter, stubborn politicians, opinion leaders, and all kinds of doctrines in their mouths, people can still do Make a choice, choose the right path that is difficult, not at all economical, and may even become the target of public criticism.
