When he goes "You stay the gently caress back!" I fully expected him to follow with "or I'll laser you all!"

And in the S2 Finale Hood gets the nickname Soldier Boy?

Are you loving kidding me?

The Boys is getting a bit creaky with its need to prolong the show. The Soldier Boy plot being a prime example of that. Still has really good acting by the cast, but they really need to land the plane soon.

Homelander on trial seems like a real stall for a season tactic. It seemed like him blowing that dude up was like "OK mask's off for all the world to see now. Really getting to endgame."

Maybe it's done with in an episode but I don't really need to see that he's willing to murder civies and *gasp* he won't submit to the rule of law when found guilty.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



It would be funny to have Starr's face acting make a meal out of how aloof and condescending Homeboy is playing along for his own amusement and ratings with the pitiful ants trying to impose their will on him, have them read the guilty verdict, he scoffs and gets ready to fly away and the judge announces "...with sentence to be enforced by the de-powering field we developed in secret by the FBSA and just now turned on in this courtroom" and watch him face act all the shock, disgust, and horror that the ants actually can put him in a cage.

The entire show is chock full of satire. Literally everything about Vought is an over the top parody of modern capitalism and it's all over the place and it's not subtle at all. Every product and commercial they make is comically capitalist in the most consumer insulting way

Also Homelander is literally a Trump parody now

He was a redpilled transphobic misogynistic antivaxxer racist incel who engaged with other redpilled transphobic misogynistic antivaxxer racist incels on social media, like Andrew Tate. He claimed it wasn't him who liked and retweeted all the redpilled transphobic misogynistic antivaxxer racist incel tweets on social media.

I really hope they don't turn Homelander into a cheap Trump stand-in. They did a really good job with corporate coopting of progressive movements (The Maive's vegan tacos joke had me lolling irl), I hope they do the same with his presidential campaign.

Seems unlikely with Kripke at the helm but, since he's dead now, I expect a co-worker or two to weigh in on it.

I was making fun of that guy's post claiming Vought isn't satire, when a key component of satire is exaggeration. We can get into the weeds on whether The Boys is good satire or not, but its clearly satire, and its depiction of Vought is a key component of that. Its every american media/pharmaceutical/defense contractor company amped up to 11.

Yeah, I can believe it was more likely a social media admin gone rogue than a black boy who grew up in the UK. Not impossible, but as you say, someone will say something soon if it’s not the case.

Honestly, the fact his positions are unclear makes it feel not worth it to sort them out now. I think I'm inundated enough by transphobes who seek to dehumanize me on main, that some now-dead actor who may or may not have had lovely opinions that he mostly didn't express out loud isn't worth unpacking.

It would be ironic for this guy whose prior best-known role was as a very gay warlock on a YA show about a feminist witch to be anti-queer or misogynistic, but assholes abound so who knows? He was a compelling actor, and it still sucks he died at 27.
