What’s Up with The Boys?
If you’re into shows that crack jokes about real-life stuff, you might love ‘The Boys.’ The creators, like Eric Kripke, have always used comedy to poke fun at society. But get this – Season 4 of ‘The Boys’ is taking it to the next level, with even more jokes about politics.
Politics and More in The Boys
Characters in ‘The Boys’ have often mirrored the important issues we see around us. A character called the Homelander, played by Antony Starr, is like a power-hungry lunatic. Sound familiar? That’s because it’s a play on Donald Trump, according to Kripke. And in the new season, the show is taking even more jabs at politics with a new character named Firecracker.
Meet Firecracker: Jabs at Politics
Firecracker is all about politics. She’s an alt-right hero who loves being famous and is really into conspiracy theories. In episode two of the new season, she goes to a convention called ‘Truthcon’ where she spins wild theories about celebs like Tom Hanks and Oprah. Sound crazy? It’s meant to be! It’s a joke about some of the wild beliefs that were going around a few years back.
What Are Fans Saying?
So, how are the fans taking all this? It depends who you ask. Some folks think the show is getting too political, but others say it’s on brand for ‘The Boys.’ You can see all sorts of opinions on Twitter. No matter what, it’s gotten people talking!
Kripke Responds to Critics
Kripke’s no stranger to criticism. He knows some viewers aren’t fully getting the show’s political jokes, especially those who are big fans of the Homelander. When people say the show is getting too ‘woke’, Kripke’s advice is simple – watch something else! Yep, ‘The Boys’ isn’t backing down.
Expect Supernatural Surprises
But here’s some news to lighten up the mood. Kripke has hinted at bringing Jared Padalecki from ‘Supernatural,’ another show he worked on, into ‘The Boys.’ Fans of both shows will love this. Traces of ‘Supernatural’ have been seen with the inclusion of Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jensen Ackles. So, this possible reunion will surely be a treat.
Our Final Take
Season 4 of ‘The Boys’ is all about the laughs, the politics, and the serious issues. The more jokes about politics, the more diverse opinions from fans. While we wait and see what comes next, we can’t help but be excited about the possibility of a ‘Supernatural’ crossover.
