I just wanted to hear the thoughts of some comrades. I feel like the whole show is a dagger pointed right at the heart of amerikkkan culture and capitalism.

I'm not the most savvy on catching all the themes or lib brain worms that find there way into media, but it speaks to my disdain for the culture. The cynical narcissism of the supes (and holy shit their sexual pathologies), the capitalizing on things from every angle, the military jingoism, the soulless use of humans for capital, the commentary on the rot at the heart of the beast, and the religious cults preying on people. It hits for me, and I hate it all at the same time.

Anyway, hope ya'll have a great Christmas or holiday, at least a break from the meat grinder.

Edit: Oh, and the fucking rainbow capitalism, it's pretty spot on.

They really need to kill homelander or make his ascendency to dictatorship complete and they won't fucking commit.

It's a common problem with these shows that are trying to do satire of Trump and his particular branch of politics

They can't kill the Trump analogue, because killing is bad, so they always get them arrested and put on trial

With Homelander, this presents a particular problem, because he's literally too powerful to be arrested and when they came up with a method to depower him, they came up with a last minute cop-out to not do it

So of course, the show has been grinding it's wheels and not making any actual progress in scope

At least the comic had Homelander lead an open rebellion against the government, which ends with the supes getting plastered with depleted uranium rounds and Homelander having his brains ripped out by Butcher

If memory serves it seems like Homelander's rebellion started in the season 4 finale, no? I would love to see butcher finally end homelander

I basically do not remember season 4 aside from

spoilerthe farm with the super animals and Butcher having super-cancer that makes him evil

This is a testament to the show losing it's panache, but also to the strength of my personal stash of edibles
