‘The Boys’ Showrunner Explains How the Show was Never Intended to Mirror of Reality
The creator of “The Boys”, Eric Kripke, refutes allegations that the popular Amazon Prime series has become overly politically correct, stating instead that society has evolved to align with the show’s themes. Although it presents a humorous backdrop featuring villainous superheroes, “The Boys” has long been a biting critique of America’s commercial landscape. As Homelander (played by Antony Starr) sought political power in Season 4, some viewers criticized the series for being overly blatant with its satire. However, Kripke could not have foreseen how closely the show’s portrayal of reality would mirror real-world events.
