Everyone always remembers the crude humor and violence, but it was also a fairly sharp satire of post 9/11 USA, it’s celebrity worship and protestant religious fervor
Personally, I think they’re kind of stuck grinding their wheels with Homelander as Trump, but at least it’s not as bad as Hunters got where they put Hitler on trial and had him yelling Trump quotes verbatim
Thank god i stopped after season 1. The story was boring and it felt to me that they didn’t know wether to be a powerful drama about the memory of the holocaust or an hyperviolent anti-nazi fantasy.
Yeah, it’s another example of libs hemming and hawing about the morality of killing Nazis
When, let’s be real, holy shit, in the show they were actually planning on killing millions with a biological weapon, you don’t get to be like “They should go to prison, because that’s real justice”
I could only do 1 episode, can’t believe it got another season and that’s what they did with it.
You hit it right with them not knowing what to make of it, comic nazi villainy and sorrowful remembrance is a tough line to walk that they didn’t seem to hit and also probably doesn’t need to be done. Schindler’s List meets Wolfenstein ass stuff
not really, to my understanding. the comic is mostly all the disgusting edgelord bullshit from the show multiplied a dozen times over (from what i’ve read about it)
Uh didn’t season 2 have a Nazi character named Stormfront?
Did the comicbook not have similar themes?
It did!

s4 of the boys has a bunch of direct quotes of republican officials and media people, i guess that’s slightly less on the nose than literally hitler.
If they mocked anyone but Trump would the audience even understand the message?
