This show has been making fun of conservatives since the beginning. : TheBoys

https://old.reddit.com/r/TheBoys/comments/vgctl9/people_who_idolize_blue_hawk_need_to_understand?sort=controversial

I don't watch whatever this capeshit show is but there's some sperging out here.

To be clear this isnโ€™t meant to specifically bash anyone directly because I know thatโ€™s against the rules, but you gotta understand the show absolutely is taking sides and if you donโ€™t get it the writers probably wouldnโ€™t like you as a person.

Not trying to bash you, but the costals who write this show fricking hate you and everything you believe

:#marseytroublemaker:

Please shut the frick up with the "actually both sides!" shit.

But itโ€™s correct. The show has made fun of the left plenty of times. The most obvious recent example being the theme park, which was clearly a Disney world reference. If you think Disney isnโ€™t on the left youโ€™re crazy.

Disney is not on "the left." The left want to dismantle billionaires & smash corpo-fascist power. Disney wants to make as much money as it can, however it can, & they've correctly determined that catering to old conservative people is not a long-term viable model. If they were "on the left" they'd cut executive pay, raise worker pay, smash themself into smaller companies, & fund leftist causes with their largesse.

Not openly hating gay people is not "leftist." Including some non-white main characters is not "leftist." It's bare minimum social centrism, at best.

That scene satirizes corporations who pretend to be leftish & appropriate popular movements. They're not mocking BLM, they're mocking companies that appropriate BLM &, well, Disney-fy it into something they can commoditize.

Wingcuckery and no true leftist awaits you further in that chain

Here's me thinking this sub was the TheBoys but now seeing its r/Politics, guess I need to find a other sub..

When rightists elected Trump, it thrust politics into every American's face non-stop 24/7. It doesn't stop until you guys dump him.

Ball's in your court, but keep in mind the rest of us aren't as sensitive as Republicans when it comes to discussing politics because we don't have anything to hide. As Republicans you guys probably get tired of having to explain why your sexism, bigotry, racism and hatred of LGBTQ rights is okay and justified so I could see why you would get tired of discussing politics.

I just wanna watch capeshit for God's sake :#marseygrilling2:

Oh hey, another post complaining about random people.

Ugh, god, I know, right? Can't we go five minutes without bashing racists? /s

Maybe we could actually discuss the show and not frickwits tangentially related to it?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but yes. Specifically Homelander. I don't know the actor's name but he's been the best part of the show

Bashee rules, its just fist fights and hot s*x scenes for like 4 seasons. The story has pretty blatant plot holes but its so much fun you barely notice.

Yeah it's good. Like it isn't peak television but it's entertaining and Antony Starr is solid in it.

He got arrested in Spain this year for drunkenly beating the frick out of a chef at a bar and smashing a glass over his head. Faced a year in prison, got out by paying a $4k fine.

Pretty awesome ๐Ÿฅฐ

I think it's worth checking out. First season was pretty good, second season was kind of annoying and I almost stopped watching, but glad I didn't bc the third season has been alright so far.

Yeah I think the second season they were boxed in by all the dumb blackmailing and fugitive material but drop that bullshit (like they did) and the show is just better.

I loved his wife's smirk during that scene. You just know that she's the one that suggested it to Homelander.

I've enjoyed the show, but this season is getting annoyingly political for me.

You had to enjoy the Woke Wok stuff though. I laughed my butt off at that

True. I'm still watching, but I get that feeling I have gotten when I've enjoyed shows and then they just go full left wing several seasons in.

I enjoyed series 1 but series 2 was more like a Reddit fan fic IRL. As subtle as a brick and just pretty stupid all over.

From what i know its just a nazi girl who talks about white replacement. Its probably not good but complaining about it getting too political is dumb because its something everyone can agree is gay to agree with

The problem was she was basically an alt-right strawman incarnate. There was nothing clever, creative, or interesting about her, she was just the redditor fantasy villain.

I heard she replaced the villain in the comic who was basically the opposite. That would've had reddit freak like the ending of GoT did.

What the frick are you on about? Stormfront is basically the same Nazi character in the comics. The only thing they changed was gender.

I thought it was neat that she was a literal Nazi.

I don't have a issue with the character being an actual Nazi. but she felt equivalent to some boomer creating a satanist character who is recruiting people through dungeons and dragons. It was on that level for me.

Its kind of sad when lets play channels and podcasts come up with better alt right bits than corporate think tanks

It got kind of political but the antagonist was good. It's real problem is some of the subplots get unbelievably uninteresting and there's basically a filler episode in an 8 episode season.
