Except the soylib social commentary is ramped up to 11. The only superhero that doesn't turn completely corrupt is a Mary Sue white woman
that has a metoo moment on her first day and later gets in trouble for saving a girl from the highly realistic depiction of a college r*pe scenario where a roving pair of frat boys violently pin her against a car and start going to town.
It also really bothered me that her #girlboss handler talks about her sorority days but also has a face ugly enough that she couldn't have been on screen ten years ago. No fricking way she could have made it through pledging.

It's actually a capeshit show lampooning capeshit shows. Previously they poked fun at just about every brand of politics and faux activism. In the current series they've brought on a bunch of soyjack writers who have taken it down the usual road of pandering and hamfisted political grandstanding.

Their obvious anti-Trump material is funny, though (like most shit hasn't been since 2016.) I'd compare it more to Colbert Report caliber, where yes, it's fricking obvious, politically--but the shit is actually good, so nobody cares. And it doesn't really slot into current culture war slots very well.

Yeah I've been enjoying the Homelander/Trump parallels because they actually fit his character.
Jump in the discussion.

It pretty funny because it tears down their whole "hes a facist" argument for both. Homelander and Trump are just raging narcissists who attack people and say things for personal pride, not any focused hatred just a burning hatred for anyone that isnt them. Of course theyre too wingcucked to realize this and so they continue to to suck their own peepees about how good and correct they are. I swear, i probably would have never watched the show if i had found the sub first, they are just that stupid.

It really doesn’t. The “political subtlety” is intentionally not subtle.

Panacea is almost absurdly overpowered, even in the setting. I feel like her refusal to use her powers is more something compelled by the plot than anything else.

She's absurdly overpowered as long as her powers are working with her and not against her. Showing more of her trying to use her real strength and it backfiring and making everything worse could have been interesting.

I didn't think it was anywhere near as good. It doesn't really have a reason to exist and the characters are too whiny and they're not as interesting as the ones in Worm. I gave up after reading 26% of it and looked up the spoilers and the ending sounds absolutely r-slurred.

Yeah. I could tolerate the wokeness but that combined with how incredibly lame the characters are made it a slog to read.
I just can't stand it when every single character is a whiny b-word who second guesses their second guesses and is never assertive about their own feelings and the entire conflict is the moron character fighting their own thoughts before they can actually accomplish anything. If that's how wokeoids live day to day it honestly explains a lot.
