Prime Video released a new trailer forThe Boys: Diabolical, an upcoming animated anthology that will expand the universe of the hit superhero seriesThe Boys. Presented as a commercial for the fake restaurant Vought a Burger, the new teaser features some of the new characters created for the anthology in all their bloody glory.
The teaser invites people to come to Vought-A-Burger, a fast-food chain with “61% meat patties” and “ranch chili queso” sauce that goes over everything, to make sure you really feel the taste of American freedom. Just like the evil pharmaceutical company of the main series, the Vought-A-Burger uses American symbols to sell the idea that superheroes are the good guys, and they are here to protect you. The teaser also puts three different versions of Homelander side by side, which helps fans realize how the animation style of the anthology will change each episode.
The fake commercial presents a new line of toys children can collect after buying the Little Super Meal, each representing a character featured in the upcoming anthology. There are easily recognizable characters in the mix, such as Black Noir, the Deep, and Homelander. Besides that, the Laser Baby returns after starring in theshow’s first footage. The commercial, however, introduces some new faces, like Picante Balls, a hero with super-genitalia. Finally, there’s also a woman with a cat head named Cherry, an electricity-based superhero, and a ball of energy in the mix, which should be more than enough for fans to realize how crazy things will get in the animated spinoff.
