In the teasers leading up to the release of “The Boys: Diabolical,” we’ve seen a baby murder the hell out of law enforcement using her eye lasers. We’ve also seen a weird hamburger ad showcasing three versions of Homelander making out. Needless to say, the marketing for the first ‘Boys’ spinoff has been nothing short of surprising.
Now, in the first full trailer for the animated anthology series, “The Boys: Diabolical,” we get a bigger peek at what’s coming. And yes, it’s really ridiculous, silly, bloody, and everything you’d expect from “The Boys” but without the restrictions of live-action. There are potions that turn you into a superhero. There’s even more Homelander being the worst. And of course, the little baby with the laser eyes is seen again.
