Honestly, I really like the politics of this season, and I’m surprised that it’s just chuds and not libs freaking out as well. The theme of the whole season so far has been that reformism is a joke when the system itself is corrupt and stacked against anyone’s best intentions. This season so far has been kind of the antithesis of West Wing, and I’m all for it. It’s capeshit, yes, but holy shit is it entertaining.

Technically it’s capeshit but it’s also anti-capeshit capeshit

I think the thing I hate about capeshit is mostly that it’s a giant circlejerk

Libs really, really like Les Mis but have you ever seen a Lib gun down a cop in the middle of the street while singing about revolution?

Thank God they’re moving away from the “CIA and FBI are the good guys” garbage from the comics. The writer of The Boys comic, Garth Ennis, always throws in a big circlejerk about “the troops” in his work (most of which is dogshit anyway) to the point of the CIA being the honest, hardworking heroes.

it’s the antithesis to Watchmen in that the adaption is an improvement instead of completely missing the point.

It’s really a satire of cape shit and pretty much exactly what our capitalist world would be like if supervillains existed. The politics are better than 99% of popular shows too. I really like it
