The last season is airing right now. Only two episodes so far but pretty good so far. I guess now they need to wrap it up they have no time with stupid bullshit that was plaguing the last two seasons.
I have no problems with satirizing the right or the left, but damn their take on the blue collar right wingers Firecracker hangs out with is so one dimensional. They say things like "transgender illegals".
Yeah right of center people talk about those things, but they don't mash them together nonsensically? Also the actress's southern accent is so bad.
Is it a parody of parodies??
Also Hughie got raped last season and they played it for laughs. Then he got raped again by the shapeshifter and Starlight just lectured him about STDs. Five seasons later and she's still bitching about that BJ Deep bullshitted her into giving him, aka "rape". We're TOLD what we're supposed to care about: anything a woman cares about
All the people who support Homelander yell "babykiller!" when they see Starlight, so if you think abortions are bad then you're on the evil™ side.
But all the good, innocent Starlight supporters have pride flags outside of their house so you know they're on the good™ side.
no, this final season is actually the most heavy-handed one-dimensional garbage yet, and this guy saying it is pretty good so far should not be trusted
So absurd to be that on the nose, and not in a good way. Really can’t fathom how even an amateur writer can’t understand how subtlety is needed for decent satire.
Anyone can make obvious references but that isn’t real satire. I thought Stormfront was great until it was revealed she was an actual Nazi. Would have been much better to keep it plausibly deniable.

All downhill after season 2. Season 1 seems like a masterclass in writing after you've watched Seasons 3 & 4. Season 5 seems to be the most dogshit season yet.
Wowowowowowoowowow these guys are super edgy hating Christians! It's the super hardcore show for the ultra left/redditors. I would have loved to see them actually say something about Islam and Judaism. He's another writer that probably hates all white/christian countries but would never ever live in a non-white/non-christian country unless he's a zionist.
Gonna be real - the recent blend of edgy, gory capeshit is probably the worst that comic book movies have ever been. It's like a 12 year old away from adults for the first time, swearing every other word. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you have to, there's a balance to be found.
Invincible and The Boys are both produced by Seth Rogen though so OP remains correct.
The “smartest person in the world super power” character having a “I don’t believe in your sky daddy” snark in the first episode of the new season definitely wasn’t a self insert of the Redditor writer teams
hate how they handled kimiko. could have been interesting but instead she got deported for killing too many guards (instead of being executed) and now instead of being mute and having a good character trait she speaks like a redditor "fuck you fucking homefucker suck my big cock!"
Nirit Anderman of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz noted that despite there being multiple attempts in the late 1970s to create Israeli superheroes, such as Sabraman, Super Shlumper and Falafel Man, none of them took off compared to Sabra.
Can't believe we missed out on Super Shlumper and Falafel Man..
Frenchie would walk off. He was in a lradership role in the idf, this guys probably killed children, you sure you want to have a psychopath holding the series hostage.

Has good source material, something that The Boys don't and they need to write something based on the comics.

Sabra is just the Hebrew word for the prickly pear. It is to Israelis what Yankee is to Americans.

Well, with a little sprinkle of massacre on top, though. Which is just normal for Israel.
