quote:Kripke interview
The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that series antagonist Homelander, played by Antony Starr, is meant to be analogous to former U.S. President Donald Trump.
"[Homelander has] always been a Trump analogue for me. I'll admit to being a little more bald this season than I have in past seasons. But the world is getting more coarse and less elegant. The urgency of our team's writing reflects that," Kripke told Rolling Stone during a recent interview. "We're angrier and more scared as the years go on, so that is just being reflected in our writing. But part of it is where Homelander's story naturally goes. He has this really combustible mix of complete weakness and insecurity, and just horrible power and ambition, and it's just such a deadly combo. Of course he would feel victimized that people are angry that he dated a Nazi. All he ever wants is to be the most powerful person he can be, even though he's completely inadequate in his abilities to handle it."

I assume there isn’t anything in it about putting us on the verge of nuclear war with Russia then.

Well then the creators failed. I just don't make that connection at all.
Trump as an evil character is completely in the imagination of his detractors. It doesn't fit the real man. Not even close.

They are just making sure they get Chinese distribution deal.
You wouldn’t ostracize half your target market unless you had a much larger market elsewhere.

Homelander = Evil Superman.
If the lefties want to equate Superman to Trump, well...if you say so.

Great. But, TDS riddled idiots like you and the showrunner see all possible negative traits in Trump. So, any villain is analogous to Trump. But, to people who aren't infected with TDS, Homelander is just a villain. And you and the Showrunner are idiots.

I'm not even a little suprised the population here missed the connections kripke put in the show.
i'm a little amused about how far people are going to avoid that in this thread.

This thread is kinda retarded.
It started as insinuating it’s a right leaning show. It isn’t. It hits both ways but IMO more against the Right.
For non-leftist scum, it’s a guilty pleasure.
For leftist scum it justifies all of their tiny pathetic fears. Mean tweets equal murder after all.
They also ignore the content calling out their fake arse woke media bullshite.
So basically frick leftist scum.
