These 31 Fake Superhero Movie Titles Making Fun Of Marvel And DC From The Boys Are Hilarious
Prime Video’s The Boys regularly pokes fun at Marvel and superhero tropes in general, but the latest episode, June 27’s “Beware the Jabberwock, My Son,” goes even further.
The episode opens with a scene from the “V52 Expo,” which is an obvious reference events like Disney’s D23 and Marvel’s regular appearances at San Diego Comic-Con. We then see a slide on screen showing Vought’s plans for Phases 7-19, and it includes a long list of film names that parody Marvel and DC. One of these, Guardians of Godolkin, is an obvious nod to Marvel, as is G-Men: Days Past From The Future.
We’re also told that fans in attendance at V52 Expo will hear about Vought’s plans “exhaustively,” which could be a nod to how big movie studios like to reveal so much about their plans instead of letting fans be genuinely surprised by what’s to come.
