To say the writers were basing this season on current events would be a massive understatement. So much so, the season finale required a long, blunt disclaimer about political violence.
Needless to say, the MAGA crowd has not been pleased with their portrayal in this season, but honestly, how you could miss the parallels up to this point. Then again, these are the same knuckle draggers that have been complaining that Star Trek is “woke” now. Like only in the last few years. Seriously.
But I editorialize too much. What did you think of this season of The Boys?
Not all the mouth breathers. Plenty didn’t seem to notice they were the ones being satirized.
I would wager the Venn diagram of those people and the people that didn’t understand that 1997’s Starship Troopers was satire are a single circle.
I bet a sub-circle would also be those running for office.

Yeah…
