do you like subtle real life references in your tv shows?
>>
I don't remember what movie it was but there was a scene where a woman was talking to this middle aged guy, and she was describing a younger man. She said "He looks kind of like a younger [real life actor's name]". And the real life actor whose name she used was the guy she was talking to. The guy just kind of gave her a dirty look. I thought that bit was pretty funn.

I'm a leftist. I think The Boys had appropriate satire early on, and then devolved into something that's opposite of satire. Satire is meant to be humorous and politically incisive. The show has turned aggressively unfunny (not "not funny", but unfunny, which is worse, it's trying to be funny but badly failing), and its political critique has turned infantile and very staunchly partisan. It's also very cute how it has gone from "corporations are fucking evil" to "LOL BLUMPF forget about the corporations part ok"

4chan is essentially a leftist website by design (free to use, socially liberal aka only lightly censored, majoritarian design that keeps threads people respond to on top and prunes threads that end up ignored, founded by anime nerds), I'm at home here even though it's a bit shitty now.

I always wonder how shows and movies like this will age. Pic related is 20 years old now and was outdated a decade ago. Do they not realize that no one will care about current American politics in like a decade and there will be a new boogey man? All of these shows and movies they're making as "resistance" will just exist in this specific window made for a handful of people. They're wasting billions to get pats on the back by their friends.

yes on x he he keeps talking about how white people need to make more babies like him so white are not getting whiped out
>>
>>220646250
Incase you're so dumb to understand writers and why they act this way in the end of their show.

They know most of the media is run by hyper progressive jews (many women), this finale was pandering to them. Why? becasue they are now out of a job (the show ended), and are looking for a new one. So they are pandering to the people who will offer them a new job in the future.

They don't care if they shit all over the fans or the show itself, they are looking for something new to write after this and are pandering directly to the people who can offer them that new job.

I think it was good enough in the first few seasons, I'm not expecting The Boys to be Current Affairs but there was something there early on. The difference between S1's political references and satire and S5's references and satire are night and day and it's jarring.
That said, I think this show didn't go to shit because of its politics, that's just one small part. It turned shit in a myriad different ways (writing, humor, action, plot). Basically it all got worse, generic and appealing to no one other than the empty suits who wrote it and got a fat check for it.

This is why I hate it here. I came here because everywhere else censors you and tells you to go to 4chan for being a chud. I get here and it's literally just more lefties sucking eachothers asses and "right wingers" that have swung so far around the horseshoe they're now praising communist and terrorist regimes. Lefties have 10 million echo chambers where right wingers are not allowed, yet every single space for right wingers feels the need to allow as many lefties in as possible, or even to just enforce the same kind of lefty censoring bullshit, because they don't want to "suppress speech". I'm no longer interested in what these faggots have to say. I've been "exposed to opposing beliefs" long enough. I want my own echo chamber. They'll laugh at you for wanting that while they spend hours and hours in their own echo chamber.

>>
>>220646561
Not really.
The reason it was included is because simply NOT rabidly hating the White race is "racism" according to Leftists, so actually caring about them or viewing them positively is DOUBLE "racist".
Leftists hate Musk, and leftists hate "racism". So therefore, Musk needed to be portrayed/associate with "racism" somehow. It really is that simple. Leftists have a very illogical and irrational compulsion to consolidate all their boogeyman. The people they irrationally hate simply HAVE to also have beliefs they find abhorrent. Accepting that the people they irrationally hate are often various flavors of leftshit themselves but were excommunicated by the Leftist Purity-Spiral simply causes too much cognitive-dissonance for them.

i think trumps assprint on history is so overwhelming that i doubt he is going to be used for corruption specifically. we havent even seen the true extent of his mistakes yet. i think the iran war specifically will be his legacy because it's the clearest example of sheer retardation and misuse of power, since it'll probably have a permanent negative effect on US' standing and quality of life

i think most intelligent americans have moved onto just viewing trump as a "it is what it is" kinda thing. hes already done so much damage to the country and his antics are beyond absurdity. it just seems dispiriting. if you do really support him in spite of everything, like truly in your heart of hearts, and you aren't paid like 100 ruble an hour to do it, then i think thats actually really sweet of you

what are you talking about? media depictions parodying prior US presidents including bush have had incredible cultural staying power. Yeah sure it's never gonna be quite as funny or relevant as when said president was in office but looking at GWB in particular, considering how much of an impact the dude's presidency had on the world we now live in it would be absurd to pretend satirising him still isn't relevant. Hell, soundbites of his remain everyday inside jokes/expressions with many people I know, and I'm saying that as a 21 year old who has no personal conscious memory of his time in office.
