The Boyshas been a unique entry in the superhero genre with its deconstruction of the genre itself and the social commentary on real-world events. The show has distinguished itself from the more predominant entries like Marvel and DC who are more family-friendly and conventional. WithThe Boys, the satire and political commentary overpower the conventional superhero tropes.
Since the beginning of the show, fans have been wondering about the possibility of a crossover between the show and the MCU, and how the characters would have fared in that world. A fan-made crossover video has recently gone viral and it perfectly captures how the MCU heroes would have been the target of criticism of Billy Butcher.
Billy Butcher Trash Talks The MCU And Its Heroes In A Fan-Made Crossover Video
Since season 1 ofThe Boys,Karl Urban‘s Billy Butcher has been very critical of Vought and how it manipulates the general public to have an ideal perception of the supes of the Seven. Throughoutthe show, he and the team have tried to dismantle Vought and prevent Homelander from having total control.

In addition to that, the satirical social/political commentary has been a huge part of why the show feels different from the conventional template of something like theMCU. A newcrossoverfan-madeInstagramvideo (taken from season 1 where Butcher talks to Hughie about the corporate nature of Vought) nicely blends scenes from the MCU with the dialogue spoken by Butcher.

Butcher and Hughie enter the MCU through a Doctor Strange portal and the team leader elaborates on the“movie tickets, merchandising, theme parks, video games”that Marvel has put out, leading it to be the multibillion billion dollar company we know today. Butcher also points out how the company has always tried to show superheroes as ideal beings (Vought is clearly a rip-off of big companies and studios inThe Boys).
