Ain’t politics usually a no go on site? I mean, I have some choice words as far as the politics in the show but I thought we kinda….didnt allow thatIt isn't about ridiculing Republicans in general, but about in my view accurately defining the Republican politicians, oligarchs, and Donald Trump in particular, who have brainwashed a lot of regular people to act completely against their own interests, as exactly as corrupt as they truly are in real life.
Well, many of the evangelical Christian Zionists have been ecstatically preaching about that Donald Trump has been appointed by God to cause armageddon/the extinction of all life of the planet to cause the second coming of Jesus Christ, including a large amount of U.S. army officers to their troops, so it isn't like they are not extreme enough to satirise.
Okay. My apologies about that. I was responding to other people, but I will stop now then.
Yeah no worries man,youre doing fine,im just pointing out that what they did was childish.I'm opinionated, but I am not meanspirited. I am generally trying my best to be nice, helpful, and considerate to people here.

From everything I've seen its not even that a lot of people say its bad. This is one of the 50/50 endings where some think it's bad and others think its good and saved the show.
come on man, don't be like that to him
Even though that the experiments didn't buff SB considerably,you can still argue that Kimiko got a significant buff.
I think that it was just too compressed in terms of the required number of episodes, and that this decision was likely out of the hands of the showrunners.
Was that on purpose?
Weird season tbh,most episodes are great on their own but are considered bad because given their distance from the Finale they should have built up to it more.I think that it was just too compressed in terms of the required number of episodes, and that this decision was likely out of the hands of the showrunners.
I disagree. The series has descended into exaggerated caricatures and simply screams about how stupid the other social strata are.It isn't about ridiculing Republicans in general, but about in my view accurately defining the Republican politicians, oligarchs, and Donald Trump in particular, who have brainwashed a lot of regular people to act completely against their own interests, as exactly as corrupt as they truly are in real life.
Well, I obviously agree about that I strongly dislike the crude grossness and vulgarity parts. I mainly just think that the showrunners are brave for taking a public stand to oppose and satirise an absolutely corrupt political administration, despite that it has proven very dangerous to do so.
I'm honestly completely shocked by the number of people who came into agreement with this. The whole point of Homelander without his powers is that he is a, quote "weak, sniveling, ******* loser". You are shocked that the baby man child sociopath, who was feared because of his strength, loses the one thing that made him revered and starts being pathetic and groveling in his misery, just like he forced others to be when he was in power.
In the first season, Homelander manipulated Vought and the public, twisted the plane crash to his advantage, found his son, created super-terrorists, injected supers into the military program, eliminated rivals, and made the heroes worry about him every time he was around them. He was smart, calculating, and terrifying.It isn't about ridiculing Republicans in general, but about in my view accurately defining the Republican politicians, oligarchs, and Donald Trump in particular, who have brainwashed a lot of regular people to act completely against their own interests, as exactly as corrupt as they truly are in real life.
Ye, this was stupid on Annie's part ngl 100% PIS they just wanted the sea creatures to finish him off (which btw, wasn't even logical in the first place).
Well, to be fair, Homelander's behaviour reflects his own deteriorating mental condition due to extreme megalomaniacal egomania, as well as Trump's own increasingly unhinged old age dementia. And it is also about not glamourising and idealising pure satanic evil as something admireable. Evil is thoroughly hollow and narcissistic at its core.
This isn't a Trump show. It's a dark superhero satire with distinct characters. Trump's deteriorating condition shouldn't affect the show, its story, or its characters in any way, simply because it's not about him.Well, to be fair, his behaviour reflects his own deteriorating mental condition due to extreme megalomaniacal egomania, as well as Trump's own increasingly unhinged old age dementia.
As far as I am aware, Homelander was always supposed to be a satire of Trump, and the show in general a satire of the worst parts of the United States ruling class. It likely started with the surface image of Homelander as being cool and admireable and then started to get into what he actually is at his core. However, whether you appreciate what the show is or not is up to you.
The religious commentary paired nicely with Homelanders character arc, it's not just trying to make fun of extreme theocracy.And it did focus on what mattered in the end,defeating Homelander and ending his tyranny.The religious commentary showed at what scale Homelanders power and influence had reached.
Mach 150,can be considered an outlier,but i dont really mind that scaling.
I think you've misinterpreted. I don't disagree that Christianity is often an 'easy target' in American television, but Oh Father's song, the little movie clip featuring Jesus, and virtually everything else about the 'church' plotline portray Homelander trying to play God and replace Jesus as a bad thing. The villains (Oh Father & Homelander) mock Jesus' actions (healing lepers, walking on water, turning water into wine) and try to usurp him, and they are subsequently defeated and humiliated. At best it's a parody of megachurches, which is hardly saying much about Christianity as a whole.
The show is many things, dark superhero satire being one of them, and even then I'd argue they (superheroes) are a stand-in for celebrities and culture around that more so than superheroes themselves outside MCU diggs and whatnot, and capitalism, etc. It's actually pretty interesting how many things they satarize.

I'm complaining about how Kripke has degraded his character from a model antagonist, considered by many to be the best ever, to "I wrote a fanfic where I'm Butcher and Trump is Homelander and he wants to blow me on live TV."
Like it or not, as I mentioned above, some "Christians" are just as extreme and fanatical as the most extreme jihadists, and have invented their own religion that has nothing to do with the contents of the original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ, and those "Christians" have become extremely politically influential in the United States, and it would be irresponsible for everybody to just ignore that. This has nothing whatsoever to do with attacking the core of the true Christian faith in itself.
What do you mean?
Friend, The Boys was originally a parody of superheroics. Homelander is an evil Superman in a world where marketing rules. The Trump-esque quirks started with season 3.As far as I am aware, Homelander was always supposed to be a satire of Trump, and the show in general a satire of the worst parts of the United States ruling class. It likely started with the surface image of Homelander as being cool and admireable and then started to get into what he actually is at his core.

idk man i watched the fight deep was ragdolling her until a-train showed up, she even kicked him in the nuts and he just shrugged it off; and in this fight deep was basically gone— no friends, no purpose, and the situation that started allat is right in front of him.
I always welcome shows that are sufficiently responsible to not attempt to idealise complete monsters into seeming cool, admirable, and ideals to strive towards, so I disagree with what seems to be your interpretation in that regard.
