Producer and screenwriter Eric Kripke, creator of “The Boys,” has decided to make it clear that the series is an obvious and wide-open critique on the right and that Homelander is a Donald Trump-inspired psychopath.
The initiative to undertake the comparisons came after Kripke realized that a noisy group of social networks was worshiping the homeland, the villain of the story, for incorporating so-called “conservative” values.
In a long interview released by the American site Vulture, the producer revealed the ideological aspects of the production, assuming his political inclination and his disbelief due to the poor perception of the public, who believe they see positive and encouraging messages for the right in the production.
“I don’t understand, man. This show is a lot of things, but subtle isn’t one of them … and if you’ve watched the show from the first episode and don’t understand its politics, I can” Help you. I just say ‘thank you for watching’ “, she stressed.
Reflecting, he added: “If I were smart, I’d say, ‘Think what you want to think.’ Usually that’s wise. But then this would be a short interview.”
“Speaking as a left-leaning person, he has a real public relations problem,” continued Kripke, citing “concrete initiatives” in defense of politically correct. “The left can be a little miserable and we are aiming for it too, but in terms of where my urgency lies, my focus is usually the right. It’s an existential threat, unlike some politically correct rascals, who can do absurd things, but they will not destroy society as we know it ”.
Kripke said she finds it funny that people see Homelander as a symbol of something positive. After all, the character demonstrates clear psychopathy from the very first episodes. “Simple clues like: he shot down a plane of innocent civilians! He was so, so terribly evil from the start!”
But he understands that this is part of a phenomenon that the show itself is criticizing. Really brainwashed.
In this sense, the creator of “The Boys” speculated to base Homelander on the speeches and behaviors of former President Donald Trump.
“I read an interesting thing once, about people who dislike Trump despite his horrible behavior; they love him for it. He’s an anti-hero. The more wild he acts, the more he bullies people around him. Around him. , the more they love him, “she said.
He decided to use this feature to illustrate the audience’s reaction to Homelander’s increasingly hideous behavior. “We discussed this psychology that the worse he behaves, the more fans he will have.”
“Look, I admit it’s a little less elegant and more urgent than we have done in the past. But I’d say the company is a little less elegant and more urgent. The invasion of the Capitol happened as we were writing the season. L ‘we wrote. And on January 6 it scared the shit out of me. It scared everyone, but it scared me in a way that few things during the Trump administration did, “he said, referring to the violent invasion of the United States Congress from part of sympathizers. of Trump who did not accept his defeat in the last election.
“These were the kind of thoughts we’ve had in the last few episodes, the idea that leaders are really willing to destroy society if it means they can vouch for their power and popularity,” he added.
The season finale also materialized an example given by Trump about the blind worship of his followers. “We completely adapted that infamous quote from Trump that he could have shot someone on Fifth Avenue and that his supporters would have loved him anyway.”
Spoiler!
In the scene above, Homelander bloody kills an opponent in front of fans, and what happens next is cheers and cheers, a sign of growing adoration.
Kripke has revealed that next season will address the effects of this hate speech cult on hero Ryan’s young son.
“A lot of the focus of Season 4 will be on Ryan, because the way this guy transforms represents the fate of the world. Either we’ll have a second Homelander or someone who can really stand up to Homelander,” he said.
The new episodes have not yet been written. Construction will begin in August after Kripke takes a month off. So the next season of “The Boys” is still a long way off.
