I have a free Amazon prime account and I sift through mounds of shit to watch old westerns and whatnot. I just opened the home page and I see they're advertising a new episode of 'The Boys' coming this Thursday.
What do they show to entice viewers to watch it? Two women. A redhead and a dyke looking black chick with braids.
Fucking lol not even a show that's explicity called 'The Boys' is immune. I know this isn't surprising in the slightest and just because a show is called the boys doesn't mean it's only dudes. But still I got a good chuckle when I saw it.
I watched season one and thought it was okay considering how low my expectations were. Then I heard about season two and never even gave it a chance.
Apparently from the fans that watch it, it seems the writers have a hard time with the fact people LIKE Homelander so try their best to ruin him and MAKE him hateable.
The results? Nah he's still well liked because he has a great actor behind him, their efforts to emasculate him backfired making him seem more the victim of circumstance and the show is tanking because people can EASILY see the agenda pushing because the writers are too obvious.
I wondered why they are really trying to make him hateable in season 4 - he’s got prostate problems (that a black female genius - Sister Sage- could determine by looking at his hands)
Even though it is propaganda they had one of the funniest lines with Sister Sage asking Deep to give her a frontal lobotomy.
The purpose of which is to make her amenable to sex with Deep, otherwise she finds him detestable.
I think they're trying to portray her as a "liberated, don't-need-no-man, black Slay-Queen" but she just comes across as a violently unlikeable cardboard cut-out.
