Ok. That's it. I broke on the 7th episode of the 4th season.
Boys show is a fking woke orgy.
I’m watching The Boys Season 4 and I still love the show, but one thing really annoys me.
It clearly tries to make a parallel with politics in the US right now. The “Homelanders” are basically the MAGA/Trump crowd, and the “Starlighters” are more like the liberal/progressive side.
But the show feels very biased. The Homelander crowd is shown as dumb, aggressive, radical people who believe every ridiculous conspiracy theory. And the Starlighters are shown mostly as nice, reasonable people who just want freedom and justice.
The problem is that real life is not like that. In reality, both sides have crazy, stupid, radical people who believe ridiculous things.
I don’t have a problem with the show making fun of the right. But it would be much better, and much more honest, if it also showed how ridiculous the other side can be too.
Right now it feels like Hollywood once again shows one side as stupid and dangerous, and the other side as rational and morally correct. And that is just not the reality.
