How did it become less subtle than Garth Ennis?
>>146098080>person you're not supposed to like did thing?>well here's evil character we invented doing same thing>checkmate
>>146098080ennis took his fans seriously, whatever jews make the boys do not.
Incels still don’t understand the nuance of the show. It’s far superior to the slop that is the comicsIt’s a commentary on society. Drumpf
>>146098115Not liking it is not the same thing as not understanding it.>nuanceMy. Aunt. Fanny.
>>146098141But that makes me like him more>NOOOOOOOO
They had to rename the fucking season 4 finale episode because of the Trump assassination attemptThey decided to change it from “assassination run” to “season four finale”What did they mean by this
Homelander was literally sucking on a woman's titty in season 1.It was never subtle. They just did a pivot of celebrity worship to political figures.
>>146098158Sucking on a woman’s titty isn’t really the same as here’s this literal real life group and you should hate them
>>146098155>They decided to change it from “assassination run” to “season four finale”>What did they mean by thisThat corporate was getting on their ass to omit references to a shocking current event, but it was too late to change the episode's plot, so they settled on giving it a no-frills title.
>>146098158>They just did a pivot of celebrity worship to political figuresI wouldn't really say it's that when it's the celebrities trying to pivot first
>>146098218I'm supposed to like career politicians now?
>>146098115geeIwonderwhocouldbebehindthispost.jpg
>>146098080It's rather shocking that they completely forgot to make Homelander unlikeable
>Make your Trump stand-in a mass murderer and rapist>All because you're losing at the pollsI'm so glad this safe edgy woke trash is ending next season.
>>146098115Both suck
>>146098991To save democracy we need to prevent blumpf winning. Yes, this may mean we ignore the result of the election but it’s for the greater good
>>146099015Considering nobody did anything to protest the Dems skipping the nomination process it'd probably work.
>>146098989Technically, they made their mass murderer and rapist a Trump stand-in.
>>146098115Drumpf is a product of rampant zionist bullshit though just like comics. If Kripke really wants to own Drumph, he should be burning synagogues to the ground and cutting chaim's heads off like the comic did.
They can't change the fact that it's a story about a group of redpilled men staging an armed insurrection against a woke deep state-adjacent corporation run by satantic perverts while being slandered by the mainstream media. No matter what they do.
>>146099033>Dems skipping the nomination processlmao
>>146098080the worse thing is, unlike the comic, the show actually got out of touch with its own message and even stopped pretending.
You know Trump is a retard, but how do you fall for such a basic pr stunt?
>>146098080I don't really know anything about "The Boys" but the few times I've overheard it from someone watching it, it just comes across like women made another show about powerful men actually being sexist and terrible.
This thread kind if illustrates that they do at least seem in touch with how Homelander's fanbase would behave.To me, it feels like the show is over, because as insecure as they make Homelander out to be, and as many problems as he'll obviously create, his base is EXCITED about the idea of him in the show, and they're shown for the whole season to not be excited about Starlight. Homelander takes over the government and there appears to be nothing The Boys are offering in place of that. Even with the segment at the end where they almost negotiate a deal with the political establishment wouldn't have mattered because Homelander's audience is at the point where they're fine with him killing people.Society in the show is at the point where it seems like Homelander just has to run his course.
>>146099063Yeah, I know. But it's still a liberal pissbaby tantrum moment.>This innocent politician is a criminal, just because!
>>146098080Like TrumpLike Homelander.Vote Trump even more. Where problem?Its like leftie faggots think this is clever or actually make someone vote different, kek
>>146098080cape-slop retards seriously worship the fucking government
>>146098080>>146098080why does it need to be subtle? why does it need to provide balance? it's a fucking full-fiction show about superheroes who are evil, it began as parody and has every right to exercise 1A rights to criticize shitty political campaigning or anything elseif they follow it up with people getting the shits from the food he served would you even understand the reference or just laugh about how easy it is to stir up trouble in the west as you nibble on your lead-free honest russian chocolate
More like the Sois lol
>>146099063At first, it made sense. The original Homelander was partially a Bush stand-in.The problem is Homelander now is nothing BUT a Trump stand-in at times. Going all in on "Homelander is le Trump!" misses a key point of the satire, that they're all supposed to be soulless corporate dicksuckers who don't believe what they say. A satire of the pandering nature of both conservative and neoliberal American politics, significantly harder to do when the company in charge is a massive corporate conglomerate who relies on that very system
>>146098115>the nuance of the showlol what nuance
>>146098080I wanna see Superman put his hand on Donald's shoulder and tell him everything's going to be alright.
>>146100564Is Trump not a soulless corporatist?I think what a pot of people don't get is that superheroes in The Boys represent a fantasy to people. The fantasy of a selfless man who'll save the people. But they're raised up by a corporate system that always leaves excuses and avenues for power. Homelander is the result of that system. He rises to power via its faults, and it make a less equitable and more fallible nation.What do you think Trump is, who rose in a political system of money and endless forgiveness of billionaires? He's not some innocent man who wants a better world. That's the fantasy his supporters love. The Trump president we had supported a tax system to benefit billionaires, installed corporatist judges, and can't be prosecuted because the system is weak and lax on powerful people.Musk is likewise a fantasy person. He's not a genius, he just a corporate PR fantasy genius.The allegories in The Boys aren't really that far off the mark, and the supporters for the bad guys seem about right too. It's really not badly written on that front.
>>146098080I don't get it.
>>146100540Because it's obnoxious garbage you entitled marxist
>>146101152He is a soulless corporatist but not THE soulless corporatist.Like in season one, part of the idea was that Homelander was moreso the face of the main villains rather than the main villain. He tries bravado-ing at the Vrought CEO and instantly gets cut down to size as it's revealed he's not even close to the company's biggest asset
>>146099609Uh-huh, fascinating, tell me more...
>>146098115/co/ is so easily baited, you didn't even try
>>146100196I am by no means a liberal whatsoever but...>innocent politicianThat's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one, no matter what side you're talking about
>>146101228Yeah, but Trump is notoriously cash poor and mismanages a lot of his assets, so he's also kind of cut down to size when he comes face to face with actual power players- or USED to be. Once he became the billionaires president and killed taxes and regulations, they really started blowing up his image and talking up the fantasy of "the populist" Trump.Now he's out of their control. Homelander, likewise is "America's Hero". The people's hero. They promote him as that, and in the show there's now no way to kill that fantasy. Homelander kills a guy and his supporters just say the guy deserved it anyway.A corporatist system of corruption and bullshit empowere both of these characters. There is no "populist" Trump - he's a storybook character. There is no Homelander who's a good person. Yet in the show and in real life, the real people rise to power from behind the fantasy persona.How does the allegory not work?
>>146098080Some people are just idiots with a degree others are just so ideologically captured that they can't understand how someone can see a villain being funny and wanting to see more of the villainHomelander is just a fun character you want to see more off, the "heroes" aren't as interesting as him>>146098971I don't have a chicken in this race, but holy shit the meltdowns will be funnyI can already hear Cope a cabana in my head and the race hasn't really begun

>>146101243>Facebooklol
>>146098949They're basing him off a politician, whose greatest crime is being a retard who wanted to build a wall to prevent Mexicans from getting inside America. Not only that, but the politician was charismatic in real life and was able to gather support by being more reasonable than the other side.If they kept Homelander as a manchild turning into genocidal schizo, the show wouldn't stink as much. I just want him to entertain me with his personality and antics, I don't care that he's supposed to be a stand-in for a guy you hate.

>>146102185>it doesn’t count because I don’t agree with itThis is going to be a fun election
>>146102085Its pretty neck and neck atm and im honestly not sure whose going to win. If Biden was still running id 100% say Trump has it in the bag but Kamala gave a lot of energy to the left and the debate between her and Trump was very good for her ratings. But its unquestionable Trumps base is way more loyal than Kamala's so its going to come down to swing states(which is why Elon is doing his potentially illegal voter bribes in swing states).If I had to put money down I'd say Trump wins it but im not confident in that fact.
>>146102085To literally anyone who isn’t politically braindead there’s no way either side is going to get a majority win. Half the country hates the other half, anyone who’s going to vote for trump will do so no matter what, and the only thing uniting the country is that we’re getting dragged into Israel’s shitshow no matter what.
>>146098115Its capeshit bruh
>>146098080>Trump did a PR stunt where he served burgers?>Let's make Homelander do the same.

>>146099033They had a convention. VP picking up the ticket is not controversial.

>>146104935It really didn't. Seems like the show just lost any redeeming values they enjoyed.
>>146098115
>>146104950It did. The sudden rageouts during season four prove it.
>>146104992No it didn't. It proves the shows went down hill and retards came up with all sorts of political narratives to explain this away. Don't let the memes fool you, The boys is not very popular outside of terminally online nerd circles.
lmao drumpf btfo
>>146105069LOL the cope is astronomical
>>146105089What cope? You're reaching for something to feel arrogant about if you really think this show ever had a huge conservative fan base that didn't get the Trump comparisons.
>>146098080I don't give a flying fuck about the political ragebait. I don't give a fuck about all this election bullshit. But do you see that burger on the left? Is that shit really $5.99? I see some fine print but I can't make it out.
>>146105110No way in Hell something that huge is only six bucks.
>>146104848It's such a non-controversy that it's never happened before...
>>146103481Guess he painted himself into a corner huhIronic that
>>146105110>>146105148"Stack it" might mean something like "super size it", so it's likely the price of whatever the original burger is, and then an additional 5.99 to make it into that monstrosity.
>>146105207I feel like even that isn't enough. Like, its an extra six bucks for each additional foot.
>>146105069>The boys is not very popularYeah, yeah.>inb4 "EEZ NOT POPLUAR"

>>146105659Surprisingly similar to pork. More gamey.

>>146098080If Trump wins the election again, prepare for the next ten years of movies, cartoons and video games to suck.Prepare for Homelander to get a spraytan and build a wall at the border. Prepare for the next star wars movie to have an alien with orange skin as the villain. Prepare for kids cartoons to have moral lessons about why walls are bad.
>>146105747Win or lose, we are going to keep hearing from him until he dies. He will be 100 with a wheelchair and an IV and still on Fox News screaming about brown people. And they will never stop parodying him. He's our Nixon.
>>146105780If he loses he's going to jail.
>>146105747>wins the election again*gets re-appointed.
>>146105780In the meantime we have to suffer through Hollywood ruining my favorite characters and stories because they can't help themselves by making everything a commentary or satire of Trump.
>>146105803>If he loses*remains un-appointed.>he's going to jailYou those obvious mock trials are any more legit than those obvious mock assassination attempts?
>>146105897He won't though.
>>146105849Oh shut the fuck up. The idea he was at all a part of some deep state plan is retarded. The man has been a thorn in the establishment's side for nearly a decade. You don't impeach someone twice.Oust them from the presidency.Raid their house when they anounce their re-election bidProsecute themFund their opponents in the primaries.Criminally Convict them on misdemeanor chargesOust their competitor out of fear of losingAnd Attempt to assassinate them 3 timesIf they are who you have every plan to install. That's beyond fucking retarded.

>>146105871>mock assassination attemptsI'm not going to say the first one was fake, because people died, but it was weird. They were both weird, but that first one was super fucking weird. The fact that the Secret Service just let him pose for a photo op...
>>146105973I agree. Too bad your team won't shut the fuck up ever.

>>146101889>>146101996Watched the season a few months ago, but I'm pretty sure it was from the scene where they're talking to a bunch of rich old blood types you actually run the country/fund politicians. It was Nuemann basically showing she can work with them
>>146106038u mad
>>146105934All opposition is controlled opposition. They appointed him, and then he did what they wanted him to do in 2020, so he was un-appointed.>>146105986>people diedCollateral damage.

>>146105541By posting on /co/. Just like you.
>>146105911I'll be very surprised if he doesn't.
>>146106041He still outperformed polling by 4 to 5 points. Biden was polling ahead in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania by up to seven points and only one those states within a single percent margin.

>>146106101Correct, just like the votes.
>>146106096Proving my point.
>>146106075Harris has done the same exact thing. So did Biden. That's politics for ya: scare the fuck out of people if he/she loses.Personally, when Biden won and people started talking about putting registered Republicans on lists I chose to register myself as Unaffiliated.
>>146106111Why does he?
turning the homelander into a marketable cultural icon and thus the most important character on the show kind of defeated the point of the story.Which I guess is fitting with all the trump parallels they keep forcing. the media loves to focus on trump himself rather than the circumstances that created him, and while the comic's "main evil" was ultimately the market forces that created homelander, the show is more concerned with funny wacky evil superman
>>146106138>putting registered Republicans on listsThey're already on a list, because they're REGISTERED.

Have elections always been this retarded?
>>146105999if trump couldn't win the popular vote in 2016, a time when "let's shake things up with an outsider to politics" seemed like a good idea to a lot of normal folk and democrats were running someone who was memetically strongly disliked by most people from both sides of the aisle, I genuinely don't see his path to winning the popular vote here, a time when many people are voting purely on their strong learned dislike of him and less diehard republicans already know that he's kind of a clown and not all that special. The culture war has been very loud lately, so maybe the propaganda machine has been strong enough to make peoples' fear of woke and invading mexicans overpower their knowledge that trump isn't a hero? I dunno.

Should note that the current line being spewed by Kripke is that he was eternally butthurt over the comic's twist that Homelander was innocent/framed by his clone Black Noir and only agreed to work for Seth Rogen on the series if he could ignire the comic and make Homelander 100% evil and not do the clone twist with Black Noir, as to why the show has utterly deviated from the book
>>146108017Sakurai isn't going to jail.
>>146108058Isn't the entire point of that to show that since Homelander gave into the fake image he was shown of himself, that he actually was rotten the whole time?
>>146106020>popular voteWhy do people even bother to track that? The elections are not, and never have been based on popular vote.
>>146108055Don't kill yourself on November 5th
>>146108017Sakurai's not a sex offender or a convicted felon, and he's created more than Trump ever has.
>>146098080This has less to do with the elections and more to do with Monopoly. Hell Vought will still be around even with Homelander and his sadistic twin brother are dead; if they go under, they'll take the entire economy with them.

>Aw sweet, Lois! /pol/shills shitting up my cartoon board!
>>146100540The show's approach to writing homerlander is pretty much just treating him as an excuse to lift news articles about Trump and to drop into show. Which is just full on hackery. >it's a fucking full-fiction show about superheroes who are evilSo people aren't allowed to point out the right is shit because of that?
I have no idea what the Boys TV show is currently about and nobody ever seems to talk about what actually happens in the show; choosing instead to vomit out political drivel.Is Homelander running for president? Is it all a plot by Vought? What's going on?
>>146110585Are you really so overburdened by shitty video games that you can't make time for a tv show?
>>146110546>Which is just full on hackery.No, it’s called doing accurate topical satire.
>>146098949>It's rather shocking that they completely forgot to make Homelander unlikeable>>146101598I rather dislike 45, but hes likeable to a lot of people. He's charasmatic. So obviously a character parodying trump (somewhat) is going to have charisma as well.

>>146110678Video games are a higher form of media than comics, and especially capeslop.
>>146098080Season 4 is when the writers clearly ran out of ideas. The entire season is just spinning wheels while every character is flanderized. What even happened?>Frenchie fags outWhat was the point of this plotline>Starlight gets body snatchedThis was also retarded because the show seemed to frame her as being in the right for getting mad at Hughie. >That scene at the ice rink in which Homelander forgets he has super hearing and can see through wallsHow the fuck did Hughie manage to get away here. Even if the air ducts are made with zinc, Homelander should have been able to hear him and just wipe him out. This is probably the biggest problem with the last season: they made Homelander a retard. Previously he was actually fairly competent which is what made him threatening, but writers in the current era of TV/movies hate making villains anything but retards. Except when...>AOC woman's whole plotIt's fuckin stupid that the show frames her as a victim. This bitch is a mass murderer. "Muh daughter" is such weak writing.The last episode of the season was actually good but that's because the writers actually had to advance the plot.
>>146109349There is a throwaway line in season four's premiere when Homelander is on trial for killing a Starlight fanboy who was chunking bricks at him and his son, where they have Starlight claim that Homelander's people are spreading lies about how the fan of hers that he killed was a pedophile. Because Rogan and Kripke are eternally butthurt that not only did Kyle get acquitted of murder, but that it came out that one of the guys he had to shoot in self defense because they were trying to kill him, was a fucking pedophile. Which only made people sympathize with Kyle as far as showing that they were standing a pedo who was trying to murder an innocent kid
>>146110850In the most shit and laziest way, yes. Therefore hackery.
>>146098080Uh huh, anyway onto more important question about the Stack It option. So if I pay 5.99 on top of the full price meal or just for a standard burger I can have all that meat/food? That's like the cow tipper in Clerks 2 but that's still a hell of a deal.
>>146110585He isn't running for President but basically outed the fact that the liberal President elect had not AOC killed (granted because she was working with Homelander and was going to kill him and take the Presidency that way and ultimately killed by Butcher when she tried to switch sides when Homelander outed her as having powers).Because of this, a corrupt fundie named Calhoun that was Speaker got elevated to President and cut a deal to be Homelander's puppet and let him run shit in the shadows. With it explicitly stated he's going to lock up the left in concentration camps and bring on a Christian theocracy, which is Homelander's wet dream
This thread reeks of someone on the staff using their board powers to control the narrative and flow of the arguments. How do people find any sort of fun or engagement in such places?
>>146111172>I don’t like it so it’s hackeryLol okay chief
>>146098115>It’s far superior to the slop that is the comicsYes, but everything else is fals, master baiter-kun
>>146106528>American >Some small-minded person from a shithole country.You said the same thing twice, retard kun
>>146107217in the comic, the idea was that every super (with a few exceptions) was rotten to the coreIn the show, the entire idea is that vought is like the entertainment industry, often parroting its talking points but showing they dont care or are blatantly lying.in the last season, they had A-train say how evil Antifa is on a show, the idea being that vought is slandering them. Keep in mind, every depiction of Antifa (or Antifa-like organisations) has been positive. In other words: The show is doing exactly what the rest of the entertainment industry is doing, but acts like its going against the grain
>>146110951It’s 2 blink and you’ll miss it references that were actually subtle by The Boys standard>Ryan mentions that the guy Homelander killed was a pedophile but Butcher tells him that was just a fake story invented by Vought(reference to one of the people Kyle shot being a pedophile but the writers are suggesting that was invented by right wing media)>The one courtroom scene we see is a direct reference to the Rittenhouse trial when the judge says they cannot refer to the guy Homelander killed as a victim because it prejudices the jury(same rule was set in the Rittenhouse trial)
>>146105986Second one was more than likely a shitty copy cat.
>>146111054>What was the point of this plotlineFor people to skip those scenes and make the episodes 30 minutes instead of an hour long
>>146111054Season 5 is a drag because Homelander has already won and the season is just trying not to get to the consummation of his power.Homelander has Vought media, he's a fantasy good guy in the eyes of the public, and the system protects him. He's gotten to the point where if Butcher did kill Homelander and they revealed all his crimes, half the country wouldn't care or would say it's fake.There were few episodes that mattered. Winning over the elites by promising deregulation and tax breaks mattered because it shows now the political donors are on board with it. It was significant that Ryan is a sucky teenage kid who's willing to give his dad a chance if it means getting things Ryan wants (and is therefore not the chosen one).And the ending where Homelander wins matters. But frankly I feel like the whole show could end there. Evil wins. It has the money, the press, and the publuc.
>>146098080Is Homelander even insane anymore? After his meltdown discovering that even his mommy milker fetish was bogus, isn't he just like some empty vessel of anger?
>>146098115They're both slop, let's not kid ourselves here.

>>146098080This has nothing to do with the current election cycle; only hyper consumerism.
>>146116187A what?
>>146116795Figures. But I am an American, thank you.
>>146114765Yeah, he's still insane. It's just now he's learned the public will love him even if he gives into his basest desires and kills people, so he's sort of just acting like his normal self. He feels hate towards someone, expresses that hate, is celebrated, leaving him still miserable, but also maybe the happiest he's ever been.

>>146111054What are you talking about? The show has always been this retarded. You just didn’t notice because the show ignores whatever the characters did previously when it’s inconvenientLike starlight murdering an innocent man to steal his car, butcher seeing this and being fine with it for some reason, and Hughie never finding out
>>146111257Personally I like seeing all the right wing fascist shit deleted so us sensible progressives can discuss things
>>146098080>less intelligent commentary than Garth EnnisImagine hitting such an intellectual nadir.

>>146098080It didn't. Both are unsubtle commentaries it's just this version made it to modern day so it comments on modern shit.>>146098101>Took his fans seriouslyDelusional retard.

>>146105069>>146105109>The Boys is not very popularWhat is this retarded cope? The Boys, even Season 4 has been performing exceptionally well and still getting substantial numbers.
>>146105536ive only read the comics tooi heard the show doesnt follow the comics at all and as you can see is full of todays political bs.
>>146105069>The boys is not very popular outside of terminally online nerd circles.The Boys is one of the most highest rated shows that are currently airing, you out-of-touch retard. Literally every single one of my normie coworkers has at least tried watching it. It's comparable to Supernatural in its popularity.
>>146106166The point of the story was messy dogshit regardless so nothing of value was lost. It taking a radically different reason is the only reason this shitshow took off. And it's poetic that a character who is a marketable culture icon in-universe becomes one outside of the show.
>>146107401>Animated adaptationYou're delusional. This "series" is nothing more than a novelty, only Kripke gives a shit to adapt this overly edgy trash.
>>146125008I mean, they're certainly trying to push the Boys as a multi-media franchise, between the main show, Diabolical, Gen V, and that upcoming Homelander/Stormfront spinoff. I doubt it'll be successful, but they're certainly TRYING.
>>146101383yea its her turn xister!!!
>>146111054The issue wasn't running out of ideas, it was that this show is forced to uphold the status quo for a season since everything isn't allowed to go to shit just yet.>>146113256Every super being rotten to the core was a retarded narrative decision that ruined a genius concept just to do a shallow attempt at satire and commentary.
>>146101744Good, we need less illegals
>>146125019It's only being pushed because Kripke is obsessed with the Boys concept down to making not one but MULTIPLE spinoffs focused primarily on the Supes and not much else. And why random fucks like A-Train and Maeve got to survive and be redeemed. Kripke loves fucked up super heroes.
>>146125057And once Kipke inevitably taps out, The Boys will go under and be reduced to crossover cameo slop and "wow remember that wacky show? haha, that shit certainly aged."
>>146103111lol where did you hear that from? popsci?
>>146098158>Homelander was literally sucking on a woman's tittyAnd? Sucking titties is based.
>>146106166Nobody gives a shit about Homelander. It's Anthony Starr making a very basic character become something extraordinary. Even with his expanded role and the fact that he's cut loose a little more than the comics, it's Anthony Starr that sells this character and his performance. This character has no value if it wasn't for Starr it's literally all Homelander's fanbase fucking talks about.
>>146105699well ofc dems always have fundshmmmmmm
>>146111210Lame, which is a shame because I don't hate the idea of Vought running their biggest superhero for president as a way of installing the puppet they wanted. There's some interesting commentary you could make using that. It's certainly flashier than the comic's idea of just throwing money at the first person literally retarded enough to obey them.
>>146105851You forget this is /co/. At least it's not /mu/ tho cause its 2x as bad there
>>146106559when was that, hon?
>>146120606>loving every laugh
I have never seen the boys
>>146124679>what happened to based KripkeHe only ever existed in your mind.
It's endlessly amusing to see the showrunners made it all about the retards in capes when in the comic it was made abundantly clear they were only a symptom and not the disease. Butcher himself and later Hughie admitted late in the story that maybe they should've focused on the real enemy (meaning Vought but more broadly the culture and environment around it) but got tunnel vision focusing on the supes. Even the supposed top threat of supes becoming adopted by the military was just an appendage of corporate greed, it was never the doomsday condition everyone feared. Because of that, Vought gets to walk away at the end. Of course if you spend too long talking about the atrocities perpetrated by corporate interests, the corruption they foster, the abuses committed by the military and intelligence agencies and the symbiotic/incestuous relationship between corporations and government; the goyim might start asking some very uncomfortable questions. Better avoid that, focus on the colorful circus freaks and blame it all on the Bad Orange Man.
>>146098080>How did it become less subtle than Garth Ennis?Our world is cartoonish compared to 20 years ago. Vought being some mega-corporation willing to use woke imagery to shore up their superhero line even as they sell Compound V to the military, it's pretty much just what we're doing. All they need to do is copy-paste Homelander on Trump and it's already high comedy. Like come off with this shit.
He’s fucking TRUMPhe is the VILLAINWhat do we need to do to make you right wing idiots understand? You’re pathetic and we hate you
>>146124982I figured the comics were over the top when they have an agency cleaning up and protecting super heroes and the 9/11 storyline.Of course it's Hollywood, they're not subtle.
>>146126637Unfortunately Ennis obsessed retards will justify the comic's non-subtle event coverage down to Homelander literally causing 9/11 but will try to pretend the show is the only thing not being subtle.
>>146098080history has shown that if you use any amount of subtlety whatsoever right wingers will interpret it as unironic support.

>>146125028>Every super being rotten to the core was a retarded narrative decision that ruined a genius concept just to do a shallow attempt at satire and commentary.not all were rotten tho. Theres an entire group that wasnt. Plus Maeve and Starlight. The rest either became corrupted by stardom, the possibilties their powers brought or by the influence of other supers (like the kids that went to the X-men knock-offs)And atleast the comic didnt go back on its own message, unlike the show

>>146127537>Maeve>Not rottenI'll give you the communist Superhero team; but that's it. Super Duper were portrayed as literally too stupid to be evil and Starlight is only not evil because the narrative needs her to be 'the good superhero.'

>>146102070They ran a news report around that time where a lady found her cat literally days later in her house after accusing Haitans and just shrugged it off.
Honestly I just hate how hard this show has become about the state of politics, because it’s made criticizing it a complete shitshow. You now got pseudo-intellectual faggots who keep going on and on that anyone bitching about it are “hurrr de durr realizing they were being made fun off” which is so fucking lame. Whether he knows it or not, Kripike made a show that can’t be criticized without its audience immediately going to defend it by assuming people who hate it are extreme far right conservatives who want to suck off trumps cock
>>146106894So it'll end just like the comic?
>>146105519tens of millions also like Hitler and Jeffrey Dahmerso what?
>>146105871Okay cool it Vladimir IgorYour handlers will pay you just as much if you shitpost in a /v/ thread somewhere
>>146128343>Whether he knows it or not, Kripike made a show that can’t be criticized without its audience immediately going to defend it by assuming people who hate it are extreme far right conservatives who want to suck off trumps cockHow is this not based of him? He made an uncritiquable show.
>>146128433Thanks for the tip, Reginald Hymenbottom III
>>146106096Why would the earliest people on the bleachers sit all the way at the back far away if it's still early and they have rows of chairs put out retard? They obviously filled them up and arranged them after.
>>146098080As bad as this show is now I can’t even imagine just how worse it’s going to get if Trump actually wins
>>146116814>It's just now he's learned the public will love him even if he gives into his basest desires and kills peopleI really wish they'd have explored this, instead of gone the whole topical MadTV skit angle alongside the stronk most intelligent black lady on earth plotline. They threw away Homelander's supporters after like 1 ep and never address any of what's going on outside in the world or society, and that lack of depth makes the worldbuilding feel paperthin. It also turns the satire pretty flat.
>>146128343Coming from a leftist watcher, they really didn't hit the dwumpf or MAGA angle that hard in the latest season, atleast in a meaningful or deep cutting way. They have like 1 ep of his supporters and Starlighter supporters fighting, and then the entire Homelander movement is sidelined and ignored the entire rest of the reason for the grating Sister Sage plotline and them running around for 7 eps. I would've liked to see the consequences of this world more outside the main cast and tripe we've already seen, but the exploration is so shallow that it just makes the routine missions feel kind of dull. They teased so hard with Homelander killing that dude last season and then brushed it off as just 'Oh we were in court for a few months and Homelander got off scottfree offscreen.' Which sure feels very true to life but makes for bad TV and shoots down something the show pitched and hyped up.
yummers
>>146128630>wins*is re-appointed.
>>146098080Notice how this show has never made fun of Israel

>>146128924Of course not. Just like in ancient times, Babylon needs to pretend that it's acting in benefit of its captured servants.
>>146128924I can't recall any foreign policies as the show stopped having a plotline of supes joining the military and focused more and more on the secret supe senator and Ryan with his two dads and just their own fucking plotlines for the last two seasons.
>>146098115It's easily understood. You just cannot comprehend people liking something that mocks themselves, because you would literally rope yourself out a window if you got called "he" lmao... I'm a phobe of everything, I understand I am the punchline, and I am amused.

How do they not know this kind of shit is validating to the target recipient?It doesn't matter if the insult is lost on the Intended target due to ignorance or arrogance. The people going "THIS IS YOU" are idiots for being so tone deaf and essentially giving them what they want. These aren't people who could use some perspective by taking a look at themselves in the mirror, these are narcissists who love seeing themselves, flaws and all.And the marketers should know very well that this is the case when the fucking Tiger King became a sympathetic icon despite the documentary on him being blatantly honest about him being a piece of shit.
>>146129792Except this time they have a handsome, powerful character repeat it.This is even better, trust me.
>>146129792Nono anon the retard was in the comic not the tv show.
>>146126763>>146127550>>146127938These are the people that created That's My Bush, Lil' Bush, Our Cartoon President, and other shit. You had Bad Religion put out "The Kids Are Alt Right."

>>146098080These people really, truly believe they are the clever ones.
>>146128630Homelander will run for President and win and they'll just completely rewrite the ending of the comic with Butcher leading an Antifa-style rebellion on the White House.
