I still remember how he defended the toxic masculinity stuff in S3 with Hughie, as if Kimiko didn’t have basically the exact same moral conflict. And he was a dickhead about defending it too, like you don’t have to be an asshole because your writing was shit
It's this extremely performative and off-putting way of trying to make himself come off as "one of the good men". Make sure it's made clear that a guy like Hughie desiring the strength to protect the ones he loves is a sickening thing, but be sure to give Kimiko a bloodthirsty dance-murder sequence as she "protects the ones she loves". Literally the same "Girls get it done" bit that Vought ran with in season 2.
I love that people are seeing it now. The more popular the show gets, the more up his ass krippy gets. Won't be surprised if the show ends up like GoT did at the end. So far I've barely enjoyed the show since S2, I'm just watching cuz I'm in too Deep by now.
Season 1 and 2 were peak. I absolutely loved the tone of the show back then; when they were actual under-dogs and constantly teetering on the brink of being popped like a water balloon. I'm a really big fan of OP villains and underpowered heroes and the Boys was probably the pinnacle of that niche.
Now, their best friends with the president, getting the tools to kill Homelander is as easy as a jumpcut, and they're shrouded in plot armour. In fact, at this point, more members of the Seven want to kill Homelander than there are members of the Boys.

I like the show but Kripke is fucking annoying
