The Boys Caused Amazon To Make A Standards And Practices Department

The Boys Caused Amazon To Set Up A Standards And Practices Department

Standards & Practices is a fancy term for "the folks in the corporation that make sure we don't do anything unlawful or put anything on the broadcast that is too much" in the majority of media organisations. Ask Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch, who recently shared a montage of complaints he received from S&P. The Walt Disney Company, for example, has a notorious "S&P" to ensure that content on certain channels is family appropriate. Evidently missing the memo, for a few years Amazon Prime Video didn't even have a Standards & Practices division before launching The Boys.


"Can you guys come in? was the call, which I can still clearly recall. As a result of us, we must establish a Standards & Practices department "Eric Kripke, the creator of The Boys, said TV Line. "It was Season 1, and after that, they may have had trouble with another show. I'll take pride in the fact that I was instrumental in establishing their Standards division." Kripke continued by discussing certain elements they wanted to include in the most recent "Herogasm" episode and how they were unable to work with S&P to make them happen, particularly with The Deep's significant octopus sequence.

Because you're not meant to depict people f-king animals, Kripke continued, 

"The discussion of that scene and how we pulled off that sequence actually sparked a lot of alarm bells at a lot of different levels at Amazon. "But I always said in my pitch to them that it was so ridiculous that it belonged in a Farrelly Brothers film. It is difficult to describe it as prurient bestiality. It is absurd. I don't even think octopi have orifices down there, to my knowledge. Therefore, there was a lot of talk about things like what the odds are, what we can do, and what we can get away with."

The final two episodes of The Boys' third season will air over the following two weeks, bringing the total number of episodes available to six. The new season of the programme is currently tied with season two as having the highest rating of all the episodes, with a 97 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a "Certified Fresh" designation. Despite the positive reviews the programme has received from critics, many viewers have been trashing it online for both its content and the fact that it still releases new episodes every week.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
