The difference is that the CW was always on a shoestring budget due to the abominable viewership numbers, meanwhile Amazon is a gorillion dollar company and The Boys is the most popular show they have besides Invincible.
That doesn't mean they won't cut corners now and then. Especially as they're rushing to the finish line.

Between the two, Invincible seems to have a better fan reception; the Boys always seemed to be too edgy, whereas the edgy shit in Invincible serves the theme of the show.
 
the writers and show runners have decided to make holy law one the most retarded aspects of the comic, which is that Voight has a monopoly on all super heroes and their creations and no one cares challenge them, not even world governments because fuck you that's why.
Does the show also wants us to believe that comics were supposed to be the medium to sell the public on the origins of super-powered people and their "exploits", just so the other issue they have parents selling their children to be injected with compound-V to be a cash cow and Supes being very public with their hedonic behaviour?

Obviously I get that Ennis didn't give two shits about logistics here, even if the motherfucker wrote entires books with nothing but exposition. The point of "The Boys" comics was simple: to shit on superheroes comics, so whatever, I guess Ennis took the path of least resistance and just made everything Vought centered to represent the whole comics industry. Dumb? sure, but I get it.

But the series seems to diverge from the comics, and seems more focused on...

That is a good question, what is this series about?

Like I said, the comics were pretty simple with it's premise: Capeshit comics and capeshit heroes sucks, Wasn't clear enough? here's the cover for the series last issue:

It's all shit.

But, what about the series? Again, what is this series about? Some half-baked orange-man is bad? Is the series even interested with the concept of super-heroes? or even comics?

Genuine question here;
