The Boys has the most midwit audience of any TV show.

This is a TV show with the most hamfisted metaphors, the most plot contrivances and the most patronizing political commentary imaginable. And the audience celebrates all of that because they are totally “owning the chuds who idolize Homelander”. These people are genuinely patting themselves in the back because they are so brilliant that they can understand that the guy who kills people for laughs is the bad guy.

Every time the writers make the shittiest most idiotic take at whatever Trump said on twitter they celebrate because surely this is the thime they are going to successfully freak the people making shitposts on the internet where Homelander says something “redpilled”, or whatever gay shit they are doing this week. And every single time they fail to understand that the people making Homelander edits know that the libs in the writers’ room are making him a bad guy, they just don’t care, because they never cared about what a bunch of Hollywood libs think. If anything knowing that the edits make the show runner angry just motives them.

Whatever devil taught redditors the words “media literacy” did a horrible disservice to the arts.
