Almost Wish The Boys’ Snyder Cut Parody Was Real

Though The Boys like mocking current events in the United States and other political officials, it is ultimately a superhero show.

Since the Prime Video series debuted, the superhero culture has changed dramatically, with one of the most significant events being the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which came after a protracted campaign by the director’s ardent fans. So, naturally, The Boys have chosen to mock the entire movement and event in a hilarious spoof video.

In case you were hoping for anything subtle, the Vought Corporation—basically the show’s in-universe Amazon or Disney—released a teaser for the next film, Dawn of the Seven: The Bourke Cut, just before the weekend. Though it’s a blatant reference to that particular DC film, it’s clearly aimed at the Marvel films, with heroes standing among the rubble of a city and regular folks serving as support characters.

Oh, and getting to some type of structure, which Marvel movies love to do from time to time, is crucial to saving the day. (The fact that Greg Grunberg is simply playing a dude might be the funniest part of the whole thing.) Snyder even congratulated “director” Adam Bourke (PJ Byrne) on his triumph over the studio by retweeting the teaser.

Just in case you thought the joke was over, Byrne published a video thanking fans for their support in bringing his idea to existence.

This video, like the teaser, is incredibly devoted to the bit, from Bourke calling his followers “true heroes” to simply recording the entire thing while driving. Unfortunately, the film itself does not exist, but we do have character posters like the one below to give us a sense of what we may see in another universe.
