The offense looks pretty bad not gonna lie
It’s like the inverse of last year. Can’t tell too much about the defense since this is a sister

What you’re going to find out about Americans after our inevitable loss tonight: how supportive we are in our unabashed greatness as a nation, even in the face of failure.
Sorry if you other shitholes don’t like it.

I guess it shouldn’t be any surprise that the worst human beings in the world hold the worst opinions on The Boys finale. This includes both right and left wing opinions. You are all dumb.

Everyone knew Homelander was a villain and needed to die, that doesn’t make the episode good you piece of shit. Few people (in spite of a couple wakjobs) thought Homelander was something to idolize, they just liked his character.

I get that I’m falling for rage bait but this stuff is just too retarded. No, he was turned into a caricature, you can have leftwing politics in your show/movie and still make it good. You also don’t have to just blatantly lie like you’re doing here.
He wasn’t “turned into” a Trump analog. He was a caricature of white nationalism and the far right from the beginning of the show. You conservative grifters just are terrible at media literacy.

You live in a fantasy and have no idea what the real world is like.
Authoritarians.
Are.
Cowards.
That's the point.
He only had that "aura" because he was a small manchild given ultimate power. He's like an Auschwitz guard with Superman's powers. Elon Musk + a viltrumite. This has been made PAINFULLY clear through the ENTIRE SHOW.

He was going to murder everyone who didn’t think he was God. Wtf are you talking about.
It is clear why Butcher and Hughie and Starlight think Homelander is bad, but how is Homelander bad for everyone else? If you’re a regular person going about your life in the world of “The Boys” who is unlikely to ever encounter Homelander, how are you worse-off because of whatever he is doing?
Homelander seems to be broadly popular within the fictional world because a lot of people think the stuff he is doing — Trumpy stuff, because he is very explicitly a Trump analog — is making their lives better.
The show never reckons with the fact that a lot of people think that what Hughie and Starlight and Eric Kripke think is good is actually bad, and that what they think is bad is actually good.
The show just demonstrates that Homelander is bad by having him put people in concentration camps for anti-regime social media posts, which is something Donald Trump does not do, but something Keir Starmer’s Labour Party does.
And then, the show had Homelander turn himself into a straw man by going totally insane, declaring himself to be God and demanding that everybody worship him, which is not something Trump has done, but it is the kind of thing Boomers who get their news from the Occupy Democrats Facebook page think Trump would do.
This is why “The Boys” fails as a satire; it fails to hold up a mirror to Trump or articulate a coherent criticism of him, and instead it simply demonstrates the Trump derangement of the people who write the show.

These guys were never intended to “win.”
Two things can be true at once:
1) they’re the villains that need to lose
2) keeping an appropriate level of depth and appreciating the characters as well written deep dives into struggles we can empathize with is necessary.

It is demonstrably false that most people, given real stakes, would choose to hit the blue button.
We have this choice constantly, and most saying they’d hit the blue button choose to spend their time on twitter or YouTube not helping anyone whom they have the chance to save.

You have the opportunity to hit the blue button every second of every day, and yet choose not to, I suspect because there are actual stakes. Stop grandstanding on fake morals.

No one has made a “meaningful risk” as there was no risk at all.
Red is unambiguously the "game theoretically correct" position, but it's actually encouraging that the majority still picks Blue, because it means that a majority of people are willing to take on meaningful personal risk to save their neighbor, which I think is beautiful

While all the blues are coping with their fictitious morality on a made up game to score “look how great I am” points.
You risked nothing and are taking the moral high ground, there are few things more cowardly.

I suspect she is still bought or looking to be.
Iran is no backwater desert hell-hole
Remember what a quagmire the Iraq War was?
Well, Iran's average IQ is at least 10 points higher than Iraq's
Iran's population is more than double Iraq's
45% of Iranians have post-secondary education
War with Iran would be a disaster

We have less than 48 hours until Trump presumably starts WWIII on behalf of his Israeli masters and to distract from the Epstein files.
