Eric Kripke (therealKripke) – showrunner of TheBoys – on adapting the controversial comic in the MeToo era

Fans of the veteran CW hit might be surprised by Kripke's next project ascenters on a group of foul-mouthed and brutal anti-heroes dedicated to taking down the celebrity caped crusaders known as The Seven, who rule the bleak yet hilarious world of the Amazon series.

I agree that in Garth's original work it was put in for shock value, but in this day and age, and it being part of the Me Too movement and conversation, it's not funny. It's a horrific experience that has been revealed as something that far, far too many women have gone through. So you can't make light of it. It's really horrific.

So once we did that, we decided we were going to do it and we really explored it, like "Okay, how do we do this?" Really talking to women and really hearing their experiences making sure it was from told from Starlight's perspective. We talked a lot to Erin about it because my intention was that if we were going to do it we had to get it right.
