Baddestguyp: Just say you watched Dracula 2020. Which started out as a Dracula being supernatural and slowly devolved from there. |

The Boys contains no supernatural or science fiction elements. In general, it's a fantasy with sprinklings of satire, adventure, superhero, dark comedy, and action. 1 Like |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by VerifiedStalin: 6:51pm On Jul 29, 2022 |
Kaycee7: No, it's magical, which falls squarely within the purview of fantasy. There is no science creation that would have you shooting death rays from your eyes. With few exceptions, the vast majority of superhero movies and shows are pure fantasy. Their abilities are mostly magical, with no real-world explanation. 2 Likes |

VerifiedStalin: It's actually why you have the term hard science fiction. Ftl drives, laser pistols etal are not hard science. Intersteller travel will take centuries. Also a lot of sci fi does not really take into account the effects of some of the things featured. You're born in space or you live in space, your skeleton will be warped. So its not so much that the boys is fantasy per se, but that it is lazy or not hard sci fi. The premise is simple after all - vought is a genetics company. Ironically a movie that could be called hard science with regards to genetic is Gattaca,which has a future where tinkering with your kids genes is the thing and basic people are an underclass. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Kaycee7(m): 7:39pm On Jul 29, 2022 |
VerifiedStalin:Sounds like you're missing the fiction in sci-fi. The whole point is that the science doesn't exist in the real world. The creation of the super-powered individuals in The Boys is through a scientific process. The administration of a a deliberately synthesized chemical compound designated as Compound V. As there are no real life instances of such a scenario, the science is fictitious. Hence, it definitely falls in the realm of science fiction. If the powers were gotten from administering some substance of unknown origin, then it would indeed fall squarely within the purview of fantasy. 4 Likes 1 Share |

GloriousGbola: Kaycee7: When fantasy and science collide, we get a hybrid genre called science fantasy. Science fantasy differs from science fiction in one crucial way; While science fiction is based on a scientific premise, science fantasy invents science that does not exist in our reality. An argument can be made that science fantasy is Speculative fiction as opposed to Science Fiction, because it is speculative rather than scientific. And, because Superhero is essentially a science fantasy, The Boys is a superhero TV show with satire, dark comedy, and action elements. Edit: Superhero is a genre of Speculative fiction. I was right. 1 Like |

VerifiedStalin: Give the man a cigar. But science fantasy and fantasy are still different genres. You can't say the hobbit and the terminator franchise are both fantasy. Particularly as contemporary fantasy has binary good and evil. The elements in contemporary fantasy are witches, wizards, warlocks, fairies, magical animal. Human hybrids, and monsters of some kind 2 Likes 1 Share |

GloriousGbola: Fantasy is a melting pot of speculative fiction. It is a broad genre. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by GloriousGbola: 8:29pm On Jul 29, 2022 |
VerifiedStalin: We can't call Harry Potter, the narnia chronicles, the Lord of the rings etal speculative fiction. They do not even attempt to allude to science. They are all about magic. Maybe star wars which is a mix of sci fi and fantasy. |

GloriousGbola: Fantasy is a broad genre that includes much more than just magic. |

I'm telling you, August might just turn out to be the hottest month of 2022. Invitation - mystery meets horror. Imagine quality murder mystery with a touch of horror. MADT Man-eater - It's been long we saw wild animals eating people. Large shark eating hot ladies in bikini. ![]() Me Time - Kevin Hart will team up with another actor for another comedy flick. Lit stuff!! 1 Share
