Seth Rogen’s The Boys: Diabolical Episode Just Wasn’t Gory Enough At First

But if you’re concerned that the Vought International-approved show might scale back on the flagship’s trademark satire and gore just because it’s animated, worry not. (After all, this is from the same people that brought us “Invincible.”) Though each episode of “The Boys: Diabolical” features different creative teams and animation styles, they all deliver on the outrageous violence that you’ve come to know and love from the original satirical superhero series. In fact, Rogen and company even went back to turn up the volume a bit on that particular area.
I love the smell of animated violence in the morning
“What’s so funny is, we actually had to make it so much more gory than we thought we were going to. Because when we wrote it, it was gruesome — but then you saw it in animation and we were like, ‘Oh, it’s not that gross actually,’ because that’s what you’re used to seeing in children’s animation all the time. We actually had to really ratchet it up once we got back the first cut because it almost just looks like an actual ‘Looney Tunes’ cartoon.”
