Can someone explain how the titular Boys are a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits? I believe they are but I don't not know how to explain it.
Sounds closer to pansexuality, then if gender doesn't have any meaning to him.

It's not even as much sex/gender as it is a power/control one. He's not sexually attracted to any of his victims, he gets off on bring able to do whatever he wants to whoever he wants. I wouldn't call it pansexuality as I don't see the actual sex as his motive/pleasure.
The Boys will be getting a spin-off
, set at a college for superheroes.
I hope they display a similar reverence as they did to the main series - i.e. not a bit, and make some changes.
The comics version is so mean spirited and unnecessarily unpleasant it's ridiculous, and not in a fun way.
"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel."Maybe fun was a bad word, but kind of? When it's horrible people doing horrible things to each other it can genuinely be played for comedy, albeit pretty dark humour, as they more or less deserve it. It's very hard to successfully do, but can be done.
The Boys (comic version) seems to have been going for this tone but missed and dived straight into the Eight Deadly Words by the end of the first arc. The X-Men "parody" was just even worse.

"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel."It basically goes to the other end of the extreme of saccharine sweetness by portraying characters that are unbelievably over the top vile.
A good point of contrast is comics A-Train and show A-Train where the comic version is just a cackling rapist and the show version is an actual character.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."One of my friends said that the show is 50% Ennis.
50% Ennis is a brutal takedown of celebrity culture, American exceptionalism, religious fundamentalism, and superheroes as a sacred cow.
100% Ennis is pure misanthropy straight to the vein.

Taking a little jab at What If, they have swapped the Boys with the 7. Hughie makes a surprisingly convincing Homelander tbf.
