History Recap / TheBoysDiabolicalS1E03ImYourPusher

* TruerToTheText: Being set in the continuity of [[ComicBook/TheBoys the original comic]] and being written by Creator/GarthEnnis himself, the short being a more faithful adaptation than [[Series/TheBoys2019 the live-action TV series]] is to be expected; Butcher is constantly smiling and has no beard, Terror is his loyal AttackAnimal, Hughie has a Scottish brogue and is based on (and voiced by) Creator/SimonPegg, Jack from Jupiter is present and Queen Maeve is blonde instead of redheaded. The only thing connecting the short to the series is Creator/AntonyStarr reprising Homelander.

--> '''Billy''': "What I'll do if you '''don't''' slip this shit to the Great Wide Wanker is call a nasty bastard I know at the DEA. You know what your supes will do for you then, don't ya? [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Fuck off at warp factor nine]], that's what they'll do, leaving you on your Jack Jones. And you know where you'll end up after that? Prison, where you'll spend the rest of your days with [[PrisonRape huge and horrible men using you as a condom]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice while they make huge and horrible love.]] I'll be in touch."

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even OD himself, who was shown to be an unpleasant JerkAss and even tried to kill Butcher at one point, is horrified to hear about Great Wide Wonder taking two college girls to have sex ''in upper orbit'' and then leaving their lifeless bodies to drift in space to cover it up. He's also disgusted by how Ironcast gets off on drinking dead kids' blood and was visibly traumatized after witnessing the death of him and GWW.

** Butcher sounds notably somber when recounting how the World-Wide Wonder got two women killed whilst on a sexual high.

* FatBastard: Ironcast is obese as hell. The bastard part comes from the fact that he's depraved enough to ''drink the blood of terminally ill children'' for recreational purposes.

-->'''Billy Butcher:''' Thing is, it’s a bit fucking cold way up there. And by the time they twigged he didn’t give a shit, and it was part of the fun for him... it was too late. As far as we know, they’re still up there in orbit.

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The two college girls clearly wanted to stop having sex with him when they realized they couldn’t survive such a high altitude, but Great Wide Wonder essentially ignored this and continued, and it’s implied he enjoyed this.

* GoLookAtTheDistraction: In order to distract the crowd from Great Wide and Ironcast's gory deaths, The Seven pretend there's a huge enemy hidden by the sunlight. And the people actually ''believe them''.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Homelander here is more openly sardonic to his colleagues than he is in the live-action series. When the Great Wide Wonder and Ironcast inadvertently kill each other, Homelander is more annoyed than horrified. He also snorts cocaine here.

* MileHighClub[=/=]ZeroGSpot: Great Wide Wonder had sex with two college honor students in Earth's orbit. He could survive the frigid temperatures of high altitudes and the hard vacuum of space. ''They couldn't.'' They froze to death and possibly suffocated, and according to Butcher, to cover up his crime, GWW left their bodies up there afterward.

* ShoutOut:

* ShoutOut: There is tree-like supe shown at the party in the opening scene who looks like [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Groot?so=search Groot]]. Also, Ironcast looks like a combination of [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Colossus Colossus]] and [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Ironclad Ironclad]].

Meet OD, the superhero community's go-to guy for drugs. One fateful day, he is approached by Billy Butcher with an unpleasant task: spike the heroin supply of one of his customers, the Great Wide Wonder, with one of Frenchy's chemical cocktails, lest he be ratted out to the DEA. What sick designs does Butcher have in mind for the Great Wide Wonder...?

* Expy: There is tree-like supe shown at the party in the opening scene who looks like Groot. Also, Ironcast looks like a cross between Colossus and Ironclad.
