Homelander is probably the best recent satire of Trump because a lot of them just lean on this 'can you believe the crazy things he comes out with?' type thing. Homelander works because it's less about the obvious goofiness and more about their shared desperation to be loved by all while lacking redeeming qualities to achieve it.

As a friend put it The Boys is a good show that can feel heavy handed and dumb because it's trying to address issues that are, frankly, heavy handed and dumb.

Certainly his supporters buy into this idea of him being a physically fit man, yeah.

He had his own in house Doctor declare him one of the healthiest men alive and it was basically accepted by his supports without much question.

There's little difference to them between the aesthetically perfect body of Homelander and the perfectly manly, Alpha body of President Trump.

The comics have the legacy virus, which only killed mutants (initially). And then it was mutated and could affect all humans.

Edit: and yeah, it was in Logan.

The Boys Gets Early Season 5 Renewal

https://twitter.com/TheBoysTV/status/1790361632918716904


Someone get Homelander a celebratory glass of milk.

Prime Video has handed The Boys an early Season 5 renewal, a month ahead of its fourth season premiere on June 13, TVLine has learned. The announcement was made as part of Amazon’s inaugural upfront presentation on Tuesday.

The Boys could be the best job I’ll ever have. What other show allows me to write about politics, capitalism, family, and exploding genitalia, though not in that order,” showrunner Eric Kripke said in a statement. “The cast and crew are deeply grateful to Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios for the opportunity to tell this story for another season. My only problem is that since this year promises to be free of any conflict or misinformation, we’re not sure what to write about.”

Added Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios: “The Boys is an unabashed and bold series that continues captivating our customers all over the world by piercing the cultural fabric season after season. We are proud of this series that has grown into a global franchise, and we are thrilled that Eric Kripke and the creative team have more engaging stories to tell for all the loyal fans.”

Slightly ruins that ‘final battle’ feeling the most recent trailer has, tho.
