Shows like "The Boys" are produced with higher writing and cinematic quality than most of the recent Marvel movies if you ask me... There is always deeply creative stuff out there being made on shoestring budgets. The rewards for those undiscovered creations are dramatically less now because the Internet buries them under algorithms, and far less people are aware of hidden gems within a sea of bad and cheap content.
- ghaff 4y agoAccording to Wikipedia, The Boys had a budget of $11.2 million per episode in S1. So that's not a great example of a shoestring budget. (Though I agree with your basic point. I'd rather watch The Boys than pretty much any Marvel film.)
- winternett 4y agoThere are many facets to the discussion of course, but many examples of movies and shows that were exceptional based on lower budgets. When comparing the budget of an entire season of The Boys to almost any single Marvel film though, the wasted money on individual Marvel Films is far more apparent. Movies like Desperado, Way of the Gun, No Country for Old Men, Fall (by Eric Shaeffer) and many others are far more enjoyable to me than big budget blockbusters, but others may disagree... Those had far lower budgets than many ensemble cast/empty script superhero movies, but preferences are always subjective, so it's not really something I'd really want to argue with anyone about.
