Were there a lot of rightoids in the comics? I don't even remember. The most I remember is the Bush/Cheney parodies.

A few, but they weren't meme characters straight from a brainrotted shitlib. Simply put, the comic was a lot less hamfisted than the series

It's hamfisted, just in a different way and targeting different things. Obviously it was a different political environment 20 years ago.

Chick Tracts were right wing comics where the author portrayed ever leftoid character as a strawman and all the dialogue and themes consisted of subtextless, author worldview-affirming storylines about how playing DnD made you a satanist and stuff like that. The Boys does the same thing except watching Fox News will make you shoot up a school and every rightoid character is written by a guy who thinks he still lives in 2004

Guess I made the right call in never watching it and gave it too much credit thinking Homelander was just a frickin' weirdo

It used to be passable. S1 was fun but fell off towards the end. S2 and S3 were both nosedives. S4 doesn't seem better

And yeah it is indeed really odd how they mix republican stereotypes from 20 years ago with modern ones, it's not very coherent. Twitter progs DO like to pretend the christofascist takeover is imminent and the Real Power still lies with boomer evangelicals though, so I guess if you're plugged into that worldview it makes sense.

I think a big part of it is that they're working off a twenty year old story that was pretty explicitly satirizing the War on Terror (meaning lots of stereotypes of neo-cons that haven't really been relevant to the Republican party in over a decade), while also trying to tie it into the Current Threat to Democracy that is Orange Man (who, love him or hate him, is decidedly not a neo-con). It creates this weird mix of the religious right, hawkish politicians, and comically fascistic types.

i frickin' love chick tracts. i've got like 30 or 40 of them around here somewhere because they used to be left around the local grocery and i always picked them up.

the old extremely religious lady who used to leave them died so my chick tract supply dried up. :(

It's just "edgy" capeshit but in the most inoffensive and pandering way possible. I gave up on the show when the Nazi woman didn't even use real slurs.

:marseyindignant: I know what I watched and I will not be gaslit. It was the safest show marketed as "edgy" I'd seen. Wooooow they're degenerates doing weird s*x shit oh woooooow I'm so shocked by some hollywood hack inserting his depraved filth for the fifth episode in a row. Oh my is that a little gore? A head popping? How daring to air violence of all things on the television amazon. A slight at Marvel movies for a couple minute? Making fun of Disney in a scene? Absolutely ground-breaking.

Shit what's not safe edgy if depravity and violence don't make the cut

If it's not something that would risk alienating the writer, actors, and director from their buddies in Hollywood it doesn't count as edgy :marseyagree:

The new one doesn't seem quite as offensively poorly written as s3 was (the wingcuckery is somehow even more in-your-face and obnoxious but the actual plot seems better). Then again we're only halfway through it.
