"We can't just kill everyone!" "That's exactly what we are going to do!"
The trailer for the second season of Amazon's great superhero satire

Karl Urban and the rest of his superhero-hunting crew return, but now there is a deadly new villain - or technically, hero - for them to confront.

Stormfront is played by Aya Cash from
You’re the Worst, and appears to have some sort of flying and electricity powers. She squares up to Homelander - the evil Superman analog of

The Boys will know that can't be a good thing.
Also, we get the most important thing we want from
The Boys: crazy violence. Blood splatters, bodies explode, and Billy Butcher threatens to kill a whole load of people.
And in the trailer's most jaw-dropping scene, the crew face off against The Deep (Chace Crawford), the Aquaman of
The Boys' world. It ends with them colliding with a giant beached whale, and it does not skimp on the gore.
Amazon has actually released that entire clip as well:
