The allusions to MAGA and counter woke culture are so lazy and one dimensional in this show. I feel like the script just includes buzzwords for the sake of liberal zeitgeist. Script feels like it was pushed through woke AI.

It being that on the nose is the point. Everyone knows its over the top but Homelander loves it and everyone is scared shitless of him lol. Like the Freedom Center forcing people to watch films where Homelander is the hero on the daily, its retarded but it plays into his vanity.

"No guys it's not just making fun of Trump, the fact that it's an over the top portrayal is the point, thats the joke! We just happen to make the joke about a megalomaniac that we made a Trump allegory the entire time, but thats a wild coincidence!"

Are you denying he isn’t a megalomaniac? Dude has to make everything about him no matter what it is

I am not at all, I'm saying it's obviously political and trying to say the joke is that it's over the top political doesn't really land at all.

I can still handle it for the finale season but 95% of the changes have been terrible. Tbh Soldier boy was the only positive change from the comics. Noir is such a massive fuck up, he is literally what puts so many things in motion

The Black Noir reveal in the comics was really stupid and made zero sense, though. "Lets solve this problem by creating the same problem, only this problem's even worse"

Its not a joke, the dipshit writers just think its poignant. Its not. Its not commentary, its plagiarism injected with delusion about consequence. That's why it sucks.

It may be dumb but it certainly made sense. It was set up from the very beginning. It is the reason Homelander begins losing his sanity because the pictures exist of events he doesn't remember.

It must be in the actors’ contracts that they have to fuck their faces up until they look plastic. Seriously every damn character looks fake and plasticky. So fucking gross.

Yeah I stopped watching this crap a couple seasons back. Also, Starlight looks fucking terrible in that promo image.

People keep talking about starlight when mother's milk looks like he's gonna drop dead from AIDS at any moment.
