Anyone else into this twisted superhero story? I'm almost through season 2 now.

Massive fan of the comic... wait, it's ok! I also loved the adaptation, for once.

Enjoyed season 1 and 2, then during 2020 I got fed up with actors whining about their gravy train being pulled out from under them, and haven't bothered watching any TV since.

I am of course a hypocrite and will probably watch the rest once it's finished.

I like how in the last episode I watched they even got into the whole need to address diversity issue with Homelander's outing of Queen Maeve. This is not woke bullshit. Someone was actually thinking when they wrote this.

You should really read the comic. You'd love its gleeful disregard of cultural sensitivities :) It was written in the mid-2000s, and I doff my hat to the series for taking that theme and sprinting with it.

Too bad they weren't thinking when they read it.

I just can't even.

Thanks, I just might do that.

I should know better, but I'm intrigued.

I don't know that I have seen all of the episodes. But I have seen enough to be shocked that the "woke" employees didn't sh!t a chicken when it was released.

Another comic adaptation that surpassed it's source material is Grant Morrison's Happy!

Trigger warning: Yes, some of the 'angels' in this scene are male.

You think that's still triggering? Yeah, maybe in Squaresville. What do you think this is, quarter to three?

I suppose by now it is. Ewe, gross.

Sorry to break this to you, darling, but the show's creators are very definitely liberal and Homelander is meant to be Donald Trump, which would be obvious to everyone except a cretin like you. You should stick around for Season 3 though, there's a guy with an enormous prehensile penis which is sure to get your attention.

In the context of the preceding conversation, it seemed an appropriate way to poke a bit of fun at people who get upset over a particular flavour of meat.

If it was so funny why didn't you save it for Thanksgiving?

Really?! Even in a show about superheroes you've gotta bring it back to Trump?! You are truly one obsessed faggot! Every bad person in history or fiction is Trump. You probably see him under your bed too. 🙄😆

Because I wanted you to notice me, daddy.

OK, it is woke bullshit then, just like everything else Hollywoke churns out these days. I guess I'll stop watching now. Got it! It's for liberals only. 🙄

I'm going to have to use the dread phrase "In the comic..."

In the comic, Vic the Veep represents Bush jr, and Dakota Bob represents what a good Republican President could've been.
Seriously, every Bellgabber should read that shit.
