I don’t really care. Trump is a lying, babbling idiot that brings it on himself. Biden is an old career geezer that can’t complete a competent sentence.

Yet, 4 years later, here we are…..it’s embarrassing to the point I don’t give a crap anymore.

I will point out that while the showrunner references Trump, the actor says that both Trump and Obama influence his performance.


Indeed, and the dude who created the character based him on Superman, Captain America, and Dubya.

The Boys is hard core anti Trump. The ‘punch a Nazi’ nonsense was pushed under the false narrative the Trump fans are pro WW2 Germany when the Left are literally sending our $ to Ukraine. It’s beyond twisted.

I watched the Boys, said, "Hm, they sure are making Homelander out to be some Trump type dictator." I looked it up, and BAM, the creator of the show confirms it.
No, man. You're just imagining all of it.

You've assailed one of their most cherished degenerate juvenile lefty echo chamber indoctrination rituals. Tedious gaslighting bullshite is what you can expect.

The creator has flat out stated his political views & said he’s incorporating them into the show.

Cope harder. .

Was never claimed. But you know that. It's just another flaccid dipshit strawman.

Sorry your degenerate communion is all tore up with TDS.

Yeah, it was a strawman then and it still is, dipshit. So is your feigned failure to discern the difference between when a character was created and when that character was adapted for television.

Or maybe I'm giving you too much credit. Maybe you think those arguments really are legit.

If that was your argument, you'd have a point. Instead, your TDS has you so defensive that your addled brain went straight to Muh Director Said...

There's a reason you're now trying to move those goalposts.

It's not even that you're wrong. It's that you're a retard, and you've dug a hole you can't climb out of.

You're just butthurt about being called (accurately) a dipshit and the rest of this is just you bitching out.

You're a retard who got caught being a retard. It happens. The best part is that you're too retarded to understand you've already admitted that I've been correct the entire time. Your TDS blinds you.

The worst are historical documentaries that try to tie Hitler to Trump.

"Hitler wanted to make Germany great again!"

It's all so tiring. Keep this in mind when you watch ANYTHING on netflix, prime, or apple. Hollywood and the entertainment industry are inherently leftists. During an election year, they pull out all the stop and paint anything right, as the end of the world, and only the most soy eating trannies can prevent the end of the world...aka defeat Donald Trump.

Succession as well as The Boys takes stabs at folks across the political spectrum. It appears some people are more sensitive about it than others. The Boys literally has their AOC look alike as a monster that is infiltrating American politics. It's not remotely exclusive to Trump.


I finally got around to starting season 4 of the boys.

If you think this show gives a fair amount of backlash against conservatives and liberals, my god, pass me some of whatever you’re smoking. I’m almost done the second episode, and every single political mention is a crazy right winger or the crazy right wing convention. You have to be shitting me if you think this is bipartisan.

Your only argument is that there’s an AOC lookalike?? I looked that up, and the creators admitted there’s some physical similarities, but they did not mean to resemble AOC’s personality or views in any way.

Pathetic.

I dont think the show is bipartisan; I do think Homelander is more than just Trump, regardless of your two entire clips that support your argument that he's only been a trump proxy across 32 episodes.

The show does levy obvious hits against American liberalism, including obvious stuff you must have missed in the first two episodes of the season. Here's some of what I'm smoking:

One. This season's antagonist is a liberal politician who is a monster, made her daughter a monster, and is actively planning to kill the president to take power.

Two. That liberal has sold her soul multiple times to work with her political enemies to secure her power. She is as crooked as it gets on this show.

Three. The current president elect, who is described by homelander as a liberal pansy or some such, is shown as ineffective as he works to implement a bill that would very clearly strip rights from many US citizens. You think this is an accident?

Four. The starlighters, outside of the inner circle, are depicted as just as stupid and brainwashed as the homelander fans. Two sides using mobs and mob mentality in the same way.

Five. The show is very clearly based around the idea of America's democracy being a joke, as so many of our politicians are working for big corporate interests instead of the interests of the people. This has not gone away in season 4. Vought owns everything, including homelander, no matter how hard he tries to flip that. If you don't see this idea as bipartisan, I have to assume you are the type of conservative who sucks, or wishes he could suck, the d of large companies.

So, yeah. You see what you want, some of which is real, and you ignore what doesn't fit into what you want. None of the five things above are subtle, because nothing about The Boys is subtle.

Wife watches all the hospital shows.

I passively watch at times when I got nothing else to do.

It’s amazing the percentage of:

Gays/lesbians

Non white (but not foreign) medical professionals

Abortion is settled law types
