#Kripke is profoundly homophobic and misogynistic like it’s almost funny. but not really

now i’m curious about your opinions specifically about The Boys and its failure to make any kind of coherent argument about society, if you’ve watched it (if you haven’t watched it please keep it that way as it’s a genuinely shitty show)

honestly I feel like I have bad opinions about that show, I enjoyed the first two-ish seasons (have not seen s4 and don’t plan to) and Homelander was a particularly standout performance/character imo. Like i thought it was entertaining for at least engaging with the US’s military violence overseas, its homegrown domestic fascist movements, the stupidity of its politics, etc, and the show felt like a welcome palate cleanser to a fully saturated MCU/superhero media landscape. man dying of thirst in the desert type of thing yanno. But I have cooled a lot on it since I watched it and feel much less positive towards it. It just simply cannot escape the fact that it was created and written by the guy who made Supernatural, ie, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer without all the women.” Jensen Ackles is even there
