I feel that American filmmakers, for lack of a better expression, have no balls. There was such a great material in the comic book, which clearly I'm a big fan of, and they never used the any of the good or pivotal parts. Why is butcher's wife still alive and the baby too. If they had the courage to film the baby popping out of her stomach and him beating it to death with a Lamp like in the book I'd have more respect for the show. Where is superhero team teenage kicks being mauled by the boys? Where is Terror the dog? Why are the boys all weak instead of injected with V?

They dumb it down and make the characters less excessive than the comic book. I hate when that happens. At least in the movie Sin City they kept true to the comic in every aspect. I would have liked some sort of semblance to this with the boys.

I had such high hopes for this show and they completely let me down. I kind of had a feeling this would happen because the same people that did the boys did the show preacher and that was a failure to. Garth Ennis writes pure gold and when you try to change it, you will fail.

Going forward I hope they add much more violence and brutality and try to beat the comic in terms of mayhem because this was weak and soft.
