Amazon’s series “The Boys,” shines a light on the dark side of superheroes. It has scored a solid fan base, but not everyone is happy about the action-packed horror-tinged show. Showrunner Eric Kripke has shared that he’s actually receiving threats now. Kripke recently told Consequence of Sound: “[Regarding the threats], it’s only human nature to have to react to anger or hate directed right at you.

And not let it force me to second guess myself and what I’m doing here. So, no, I take a moment, feel appropriately horrified, and then process my way past it. And get back to the work of writing.” He went on to say, “And we have a very specific rule that we try to follow, which is, it was
