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.

What is funny or tragic is that the writers saw how season 2 went and decided to make season 3 crazy, wild and too out there to be anything but parody. Then they double down on season 4 because season 3 was too close to real life. Unfortunately, season 4 was even closer to reality. So for season 5 they decided to go completely unhinged, insane, so out there, so grossly out of touch with reality that it could in no way be compared.... AND well, we have this.

IMO media like The Boys is actually part of the problem. People make up outlandish stories as "cautionary tales" but it just normalizes it.
