:reddit-logo: /r/theboys is melting down as the show continues to satirize their politics.
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.
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.
