So, there was a spin-off series announced a while back and, Amazon just put out a press release about it.

As tired as I am about "Supes in College", this actually sounds like it might be interesting given just how hosed up we know the show's creators' are willing to get.

But it'll have to work drat hard to be better than Sky High :colbert:

Sounds horrible to me...

It sounds closer to Ennis than this show should probably want to go.

Considering how the fraternity story arc went in the comics... yeah I hope they don't go 'full Ennis' with this one

I remember how much I was kinda dreading to watch this show, because of how the comic was basically hot garbage, but they surprised me with the way they handled it. I've still got the same dread about the spinoff though. I'll watch the first episode, and give it a chance. They've earned at least that from me over the last 2 seasons.

I'll give it a chance since The Boys turned out so well, but seems like a weird choice for Amazon, wouldn't this and Invincible be pretty similar?

The Boys is a pretty thorough deconstruction, from soup to nuts. Invincible is still firmly in comic book land, it just decides to add a layer of horror from the almost-certain collateral carnage that comic book megafights would entail.

Now if they decided to make Irredeemable, and fix some of that comic's flaws, you'd have some real poo poo on your hands

Irredeemable is a great look at how utterly terrifying it would be if a godlike superhero on Superman’s scale actually existed, and how incredibly mentally taxing life would constantly be on that superhero.

It just went on about three times longer than it should have.

Their marketing department is out on control, I went from never having heard of them 2 months ago to having a case in my fridge at all times while seeing it paired up with Amazon’s The Boyz and Tony Hawk’s new podcast, it is BLOWING UP, my local grocer can’t even keep it in stock anymore lol

I've been seeing ads for it for months if not a couple years now. Is there anything special about it? It seems like it is just water in a can. I get ice and water out of my fridge just fine.

As someone who doesn’t drink soda or juice, a good sparkling water is a loving miracle, and their level of carbonation is right around the “please hurt me, daddy” level that I really crave. I want to crack open a can and feel like I’m punishing my throat for being thirsty, and Liquid Death hits that mark perfectly. Their non-carbonated mountain spring water also tastes exactly like ground water from the mountain creeks I grew up drinking, so wherever they bottle or whatever their process is feels authentic to me
