Whatever one’s political beliefs,The Boyswas taking aim.
Homelander comes as close to a supervillain as possible, tragic as he is.
ToThe Boys’credit, there are few true heroes and villains in the show.
OK, almost everyone is a villain.
But they often rock the boat of the general consensus on who really threatens world safety.
That’s the whole point of the show.

Homelander has always been the show’s main villain.
ButThe Boyswas always political, and Homelander always parodied Trump.
It’s fair to dislike or criticize a show based on its politics.
The Boys is a gritty and subversive take on the superhero genre, focusing on a group of vigilantes who confront powerful superheroes abusing their abilities, exploring themes of corruption and moral ambiguity in a world where heroes are not always what they seem.
Politics improves some shows and ruins others.
ButThe Boysseason 4 backlash ignores what the show wasfor the last five years.
This is sure to make it even more divisive than season 4.
Garth Ennis and Garick Robertson createdThe Boyscomics.
This will make it easier for the show to imitate U.S. events.
However,following the comics will keepThe Boyspolitical, even regardless of real-life events.
Without creating spoilers, there are possibly scenes ahead that end rather tumultuously in the White House.
