The Boys (2019)

It’s very interesting how INCREDIBLY political the comic it’s adapting is (from a left leaning perspective) and that the writers and creator of the show have been talking about real world politics being the driving point behind the show since it’s inception in 2016. ‘Kripke: He’s always been a Trump analogue for me. I’ll admit to being a little more bald this season than I have in past seasons.’ (on the reaction to season 2, not season 4!) The showrunners were actively making fun of MAGA people on Twitter who unironically supported Homelander in season 1. The guy who plays Homelander acknowledged Homelander was Trump in season 1 and wanted to be influenced more by Biden in season 2. How is it just now politics for some?

Some folks are just “pretending” to complain about the show being political but are really complaining about the way Firecracker, Homelander, et al. are being portrayed. They’re the ones who actively cheered when Homey cut the heckler’s head in half to end S3 (and the ones you reference in S1).
