If we had to say which superhero movie is the most important of its generation without including any from Marvel or DC, it is clear that we would all say Watchmen (2009).
Although its rights belong to the DC publishing house, it is not integrated into the DC universe, but is a totally different world and characters. This work, as many of you know, is based on Alan Moore's comic with the same name.
The comic fell in love at the time, becoming an instant masterpiece. And the film, directed by Zack Snyder, does a tremendous job of adaptation. Both works are very good without depending on each other, and the movie is a must if you like action movies.
Sign up for HBO Max Spain
If you like series like Friends, The Sopranos or Game of Thrones, HBO Max has these and many more in its catalogue.The Boys
This series broke the mold in 2019 when it came out on Amazon Prime in its bid to bring series based on existing works (Good Omens, American Gods, etc.) and thus gain some ground against Netflix.
To do so, he opted for The Boys, a comic book series with a lot of traction in the United States that stands out for its black humor and its adult treatment of the plot. It looks like a parody of Marvel and DC superheroes but applying a lot of bad milk.
It's two seasons now and they're working on a third, so we can confirm that it's been a success for Amazon. And is not for less. Very good performances, a different approach where the heroes are sociopaths and a kid who wants justice.

During the film, the three will try to save the planet from the threat of Ming, the emperor of the distant kingdom Mongo, who has sent one of his moons crashing into Earth. It's pure nostalgia, but worth every minute.
