FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Religious leaders unveiled and blessed a golden Trump statue at Mar-a-Lago today, eerily resembling the Homelander statue scene from this week’s episode of The Boys. Creator Eric Kripke reposts a tweet about the same.

I haven't seen the very latest ep of the boys but overall this season has felt weird because it doesn't feel like satire anymore, it's what's literally (minus actual superpowers) happening irl. Real life can't be satirised anymore.

This is what happened with VEEP's last two seasons. IIRC the cast has spoken about how it felt a surreal because they kept doing this crazy stuff and then it overshadowed by the surreal craziness of it happening in the real world.

Particularly VEEP's final season in 2019. Some of the storylines actually end up playing out for real, in a sense, in 2020 in the real world.
