The grossest thing in every extremely gross The Boys: Diabolical episode

polygon.com:

There’s no ignoring the gore of The Boys. The show is full of laser eyes boring through bodies, faces getting ripped off, and innards exploding everywhere. If anything limits the violence, it might be the constraints of the CGI and practical effects required to create such gruesome scenes. The Boys: Diabolical, the new animated anthology series from Prime Video set within the same universe, has no such resistance.

Like the mothership show, each episode of Diabolical, in its own way, explores how interacting with the Vought Corporation and its Compound V is a Faustian bargain. Whether its helping launch a child to superstardom or dealing out V-infused face cream to give people their best faces, Vought — a stand-in for all corporations and their money-first, people dead-last approach to doing business — is seen as an irredeemable evil. Diabolical takes that as an innate truth, and every 12-minute episode discovers how wrong dealing with the company can go.

That and truly impressive feats of gore. If the gut-churning violence of The Boys was reined in by anything, it’s unleashed in animated form, unconstrained by CGI-budgets or anything else. Each chapter lets its full, bloodstained freak flag fly. If you can’t stomach gore, Diabolical might be a tough one to swallow (and also, what are you doing here?). Not all the episodes end on the crass grisliness as The Boys is wont to do. But suffice it to say they get their horrifying licks in.

In light of that, here’s a warning about the grossest thing encountered in every episode. Turns out it’s not always what you think.
