Just finished it and damn it is suffering.

Trying to make fun of the "Go Woke, Go Broke" crowd just really distracted from I thought should be the overall story.

Is the inclusion of current politics in the comics, or is that Amazon being Amazon?

It is getting with old with the same overall story arc, we almost got Homelander this season. You need new baddies every season, it sucks having the same story told every season.

I still have two episodes left this season and overall I like the show but Jesus the politics are so on the nose.

They love making the evil people conservative and then somehow they all have gay sex dungeons.

The part about making his generational wealth on being slave catchers and then transferring that to private prisons was such an eye roll.

The show runner, Eric Kripke, had a mental breakdown and lost his shite. He’s pissed at fans because they like the show for the wrong reasons.

You’re not supposed to question the showrunners, directors or actors.

Shut up & watch the show or stay silent.

Thems the rules now..

I quit watching several episodes into this season. It's tired and played out, I'm bored with the superhero genre anyway, and it got too openly one-sided in the political takes.

No. The comics make fun of a bunch of different groups, but not from a modern political perspective. The series was truly a great ride.

ETA: They do make fun of Christians in the series but stay FAR away from any other religious groups, so at least from that end the show and comics are equally as cowardly.

But also, I mean…..

I’d like to think private prisons is a topic everyone can agree on, but you never know

Lunatic.

They fricking turned the show into total and complete self own on regressives.

It was comical how they clowned themselves.


Well if this is what you took from it, ok then.

Hard to disagree. They did come out and say the entire show is political.

The most disturbing moment for me was when Homelander stated that he was not attracted to Firecracker.

And why not?! And yet he was attracted to Stormfront who is meh at best.

Firecracker is fine as frick!

I haven’t watched since the first couple episodes of season 2. The show was just trying way too hard for my taste.

Now lets point out how similar the boys are to liberals

Starlight is the perfect liberal woman. Always wrong about everything and always trying to contradict anything a man says. Goes for the cuck boy.

MM the DEI hire never gets shite done. Also got cucked by a homelander fanboy. Always talks a big game and then fails, even gets hives when he finally actually has to lead but luckily the only real alpha male of the group whos also the most sexist, keeps saving him.

Frenchy is a straight up POS druggie whos confused about everything from his sexuality to how to live with himself. Also so evil he manipulates someone whom he murdered their whole family just to let them form an attachment before ripping their heart out all over again. Everyone he trusts is a mistake. Half his experiments don't even work.

Komiko is an activist who's only useful as a look over here! Distraction. In typical fashion doesn't know what she wants because she too hates herself and gets her arse kicked repeatedly by any supe worth a damn. If she wasnt deathproof she'd have been gone after her first fight.

Butcher is just a regular ole bleeding heart when he's not trying to mass murder all the supes and his best skill is breaking his word to people.

Hewy is only alive because he's so pathetic people realize it's more funny to let him wallow in his uselessness than put him out of his misery

And they all get bested by a black lady who's smarter than all of them and plays them for fools.


Damn that took less than 4 minutes to come up with comparisons.

Hahahahaha libs the losers are you.

Am i doing it right?

It’s so different from the source material that it’s funny. I gave up a while ago.

Plenty seasons of a great show called Supernatural, that if compared to The Boys proves TDS is real. I love both shows, but he isn’t really trying to hide his opinions.
