He may still be playing a variant of Wolverine in Deadpool 3. I'm getting a whole lot of fanservice vibes from it, and while some parts of the story can be extrapolated a bit, we know that we are definitely getting a few different versions of both Wolverine and Deadpool, so we may yet see Karl with claws. A variant of Wolverine with Butcher's accent could be one that Deadpool pops in to check out and says something like "Nope. Not doing British Wolverine. Next!"

The crime isn't fake, they just have all the intel options so they can plan to intercept crimes in the most media-friendly way in advance rather than just responding.

The guy who plays homelander is an amazing actor. He was the main character in a show called Banshee that is very good.

Gotta love a Garth Ennis adaptation. He also wrote Preacher which has also been made into a TV show

12:51 this quote from Butcher: "People love the cozy feeling supes give them" ... says it all. the majority of us have gotten comfortable with the idea of heroes being like the MCU to the point where the first time seeing the The Boys the concept of heroes becomes a culture shock. i love this series & its fantastic its finally getting reacted to!!

It's not shock for shock's sake. There's a point to the gore, for the most part, and when there isn't, the gore is for comedic effect.
