The popular Amazon Prime Video show "The Boys" has found itself in a controversy following its season finale, which featured a storyline that eerily mirrored the real-life attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
The show, known for its raunchy, vulgar, and hyper-violent content, has been criticized for its portrayal of political assassinations, especially when one of its characters is an admitted analog to a real-world politician.
The character in question is Antony Starr's psychotic Homelander, a clear analog to former President Donald Trump. In the show's Season 4 finale, Homelander hatches a plot to become the president, which involves the assassination of a political figure.
The show's creator and showrunner, Eric Kripke, has made it clear that the show is about the former president. "Suddenly, we were telling a story about the intersection of celebrity and authoritarianism and how social media and entertainment are used to sell fascism," Kripke said about the direction in which he took the show after Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
The show has since released a statement on social media and added a "viewer discretion" warning that precedes the episode. "The season finale of The Boys contains scenes of fictional political violence, which some viewers may find disturbing, especially in light of the injuries and tragic loss of life sustained during the assassination attempt on former President Trump," the statement read.
The show's producers have also renamed the episode from "Assassination Runs" to "Season Four Finale."
This controversy comes at a time when former President Trump is making his first public appearance since the assassination attempt. A massive crowd is waiting for his first rally since the incident, a testament to his enduring popularity and influence.
In related news, Florida Republican Representative Byron Donalds recently appeared on Bill Maher's show, where he shut down Maher's attempt to trivialize the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. "The man almost lost his life," Donalds said, defending Trump's account of the incident.
The recent events have sparked a debate about the portrayal of political violence in popular culture and its potential impact on real-world events. As the country continues to grapple with the aftermath of the assassination attempt, it remains to be seen how these events will shape the political landscape in the coming months.
