Since so many of you wanted to weigh in on The Boys

I don't know if I should actually link cybersmith

Transcription:

culture crave posts:

'The Boys' S5 finale is at 6.7 on IMDb
The final two episodes are the lowest-rated in the show's history

Cybersmith responds:

The writers really destroyed their own art out of a pig-headed refusal to look beyond their own political biases.
Homelander should have killed the nonbelievers and ushered in Heaven on Earth.
THAT would have made the show an all-time great.
Now? It'll just be remembered as a disappointment.

MM spends the early parts of the series dressed in black panther/Malcolm x/black power fist labelled clothing and making both allusions to systemic oppression in conversation (Including outright calling Mallory out on the crack epidemic), and having his backstory be one rooted in capitalist exploitation and systemic discrimination is the thing. They just don't do anything with it beyond have him not like Stan Edgar.

Also in the literal last episode they call billionaires the "ruling class" explicitly, but uh I guess they can just keep being the ruling class as long as Homelander is dead.
