"I mean, I think what makes the show great is to never repeat ourselves or fall into a pattern," Eric said. "It almost lives as like an idea incubation lab. Like we're intentionally trying to be as experimental, both in form and content as we possibly can just to see what works." That's certainly true, especially when you consider how many different styles of animation exist within just one season.

Eric is specifically fascinated by the idea of crafting meta storylines. "I get off on like really trying to push at some of the structural boundaries of this stuff in a meta way. So for me, it was the more that we can push, we can push. Like Simon, who's the showrunner, he was like, 'Well, why don't we do one as live-action?'"

It's looking like no idea is off the table for these kooky creators, but how does Amazon feel about their boundary-pushing concepts?

"I have to say they've been really amazing," Eric told Colllider of Amazon's reaction to the controversial series. "They have like particular notes about specific stuff, and I'd be lying if I didn't say they got nervous, on some of the stuff. But I think they really trust us and it helps that the audience is so embraced the total perversity of the two seasons of [The Boys]."

The Boys Presents: Diabolical may not be an animated series for the faint of heart, but it's never boring — and it's certainly not concerned with playing it safe. Heck, we'd love for a show featuring a laser-eyed baby to see more life.

All eight Season 1 episodes of The Boys Presents: Diabolical are currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
