Every art project or TV series is designed by some distinctive features to outline not only its aesthetic and stylistic character, but its intrinsic one identity. The recognisability of some products remains something that transcends the figurative dimension reaching to communicate something even in expressive fields different from the starting one, whether it is a story born on the illustrated pages of some comics, or on the small screen. With The Boys Presents: Diabolical we find all those elements that made us fall madly in love first with the product in paper format and later with the TV series in progress on Prime Video, and it is essential to underline this in a review, also because the brilliant madness to design the pages of Garth Ennis And Darick Robertson here it returns even more prominent than the other television transpositions, enhanced by an aesthetic commitment that is completely different from the past and above all inspired. Additionally the product features a expansionalbeit undermining, of the material treated so far, thus also exercising a minimal role in the narrative and contextual strands in which the various characters of the story have always moved.
Crazy and brilliant short films
For the uninitiated we are talking about a series of short films animated coming up on Prime Video this 4th Marcha lot more work studied than it seems. It is a collection of 8 self-closing animated shorts in which it is possible to further deepen the world in which we have seen the heroes of the main story develop and fight, an approach, this of The Boys Presents: Diabolicalvery similar to what we have seen in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (this is our review).
A product that therefore becomes extremely greedy for the fan more avid than the series and comics, although less interesting for those who have never heard of the primary work. Each of these shorts features one unpublished story also drawn by faces known previously. We could almost say that the various episodes have such strong narrative and stylistic characteristics as to be able to charm each time for different reasons. The thematic then treated are many, and range from suffering in love, personal acceptance, revenge, paternal love, without ever being trivialized.
The stories are therefore at the center of everything, accompanied by a context that, although known and in-depth, always presents insanely coherent new insights with the identity of what we have seen so far. The general short duration is compensated for by one experimentalism both aesthetic and narrative bordering on the reasonable, in a good way, with moments, characters and developments always over the top. The result is a work that in its small way is actually there tells a lot on the very world of The Boyson its rules, on its inconsistencies and problems, but also on its weaknesses and frailties, raising the quality bar from time to time with every single creative idea put on the table, even with the simplest.
The Boys Presents: Diabolical offers to viewers two very important things, a set of contextual insights And narratives very fascinating and insane, and as you will read later in the review, aaesthetic elasticity designed that enhances everything. All accompanied by an extremely incorrect and foul-mouthed general rendering in which alcohol, drugs and sex are the masters without being in any moment out of order.
Stylistic experimentation
The style is very central in communicating this The Boys presents: Diabolical. We are not just talking about insanely brilliant stories with the most unlikely implications, but about shorts designed each with one different style. We move from the short more linked to the comic series, to the one in style Rick and Morty (Justin Roiland in fact he worked on the project ed), to the one with the most oriental and classic features, to the typical stories Looney Tunes and many others. This aesthetic approach further embellishes the product and the material treated, increasing exponentially the love for the project and the impact on the viewer, also favored by a prominent cast as regards the dubbing in the original language (Seth Rogen, Kevin Smith, Simon Pegg, Giancarlo Esposito, Michael Cera, are just some of the names). It is important to underline, however, that everything intertwines more easily with the viewer who already knows the series or the comics, with some little surprises inside absolutely unmissable if you are a historical fan.
