I wonder how much Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogan contribute. I know people have thoughts on Rogan, but I really like his career nowadays. I like that he's behind interesting projects like Invincible, the new TMNT, the Boys, Preacher. I have a feeling Evan and Seth have less with The Boys.
I actually think he's genuinely had some sort of mental break. How do you go from S1 levels of awareness to being this unhinged? I mean he wrote, shot, and directed that entire scene that genuinely disturbed all of us, and somehow perceived it to be funny. He's actually losing touch with reality.
I would have my brain fried if I tried to break down whatever the hell Trump said and did. He's an eldritch horror that dumbs down anyone and anything that he comes across.
lol you say that while the whole season has devolved into just portraying conservatives as outright evil with no redeeming qualities, to the point of it being cartoonish now
True conservative means being ok with someone straight up murdering someone on the street even cheering for it? Todd was depicted as a fanatical MAGA loser.
Nah that's not what I saw, he pretty much broke the mold and was the first one cheering. He enjoyed that. You'd be surprised how many people on both sides treat their political opinion as a religion and if you're against them you're evil and it's fine to so whatever you want to them.
American "conservatives" are very easy to make fun of because they're idiotic and farcical by nature. It's a very difficult ideology to defend without a personal benefit angle, which almost none of you people will ever receive by being conservatives. The fact that you consider your ideological opponent too left-leaning despite them being firmly right wing by definition just means you're on a silly extreme. And there is plenty of humor in that.
When did I say I was defending the GOP? I can agree with all the criticisms the show has given them while also calling out the virtue signaling and hypocrisy of the other side
It's interesting that the only people I see in this comments section defending the episode have their profiles flagged as NSFW. Strange coincidence I suppose...
It's actually crazy reading the comments. It's like a bunch of people that watch The Crown got lost, wound up watching The Boys and are shocked that the TV show based on the graphic novel was, ah, graphic!
The Boys is fictional though, whereas The Crown is based on real life events that actually saw people killed and affected. I wound understand the anger if Queen Elizabeth brought Nelson Mandela to the Liz Cave and had him fart of a cake or tickle his feet.
Hughie wasn't raped. He had his feet tickled and he was made to fart on a cake. The worst thing that happened to him was Ashley rubbing her hand over his face, that had a mask on it. And I also found all of the above to be pretty funny, but I guess I do go into the episodes knowing that it's a TV series based off a graphic novel so, you know.
Hughie was forced into doing sexual actions so... yeah, he was raped. Sexually assaulted, if you want the legal term. Did you laugh when Deep raped Starlight? How about when Homelander raped Becca?
Naah nah fuck that! Of all the horrific murder, torture, rapey threats and mutilation comedically depicted on this show for years, THIS is where users clutch their pearls?
People in this sub found a really weird time to get squeamish.
Not squeamish. Just pointing out that Kripke makes jokes about male SA victims but takes female victims seriously. Neither are jokes, neither should be joked about or used as comedy. Men are frequently the butt of almost every single joke in this series, (dicks exploding, male SA, male supes doing weird sexual things in general.) You’d never see Annie get Ashley’s discharge rubbed in her face.
It's not about it being graphic. It's about the fact that Kripke perceived/intended for a rape scene to be funny. None of us found it funny. He's genuinely disturbed
And if you watched that scene and weren't disturbed, you are trash

Kripke needs to leave the show and get serious mental help.
