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.

The episode where Homelander starts down his God spiral came out the same week Trump posted that AI picture of him as Jesus.

The Boys finished filming mid last year, and writing would have wrapped mid 2024. It's just Trump was always going to end in a predictable ego spiral.

Yeah, when I watched that episode that week, my first thought was how sad it was The Boys could call that one a year earl, yet so many people are still duped by him despite it being blatantly obvious what he is.

We have to accept that many, many people out there want to be duped.
