I actually liked the first preview we got for the suit. Seeing the full thing now I think it looks ridiculous
The red briefs look ridiculous when it’s not animation 😂

It just looks like a cw suit. Which is saying a lot bc the actual cw costumes look better than this
Although James Gunn may have had a love for originality, fans think that the trunks look ridiculous. On the other hand, in the talks of ‘superhero fatigue’,The BoysactorAntony Starrincluded Gunn in his conversation.

With the actor and the director working in the superhero genre, they certainly know about the term ‘superhero fatigue’. However, Antony Starr had an opposite view on things and he even talked about James Gunn!
Antony Starr To Join James Gunn’s DCU?
Admit it, Homelander is basically the evil version of Superman. WithThe Boysgoing big and breaking every superhero stereotype known to humanity, Starr has been recognized worldwide as Homelander.
Well, the world has been speculating whether James Gunn and Antony Starr would join hands in the future. In an interview withCinemaBlend, the actor revealed that people are not tired of superheroes but they are actually hungry for them!
I don’t think the audience is fatigued, let me put it that way. I think the audience is hungry. We were just down in Mexico doing a CCXP down there. And they are hungry as hell for superhero content.
He further continued,
[I’m]very curious to see what happens around any notion of superhero fatigue when James Gunn’s superhero (projects) come out.
With the statements, it seems that there’s a little bit of a chance that Antony Starr andJames Gunnwill work together in the DCU sometime in the future. At this moment, however, nothing can be confirmed or denied.
