I feel like they’re kinda poke fun at both sides this season. At the amusement park they poke fun at the over selling of “woke” and “inclusion”. They also make fun of gun nuts. Pretty funny stuff.

Very South Park like.



That was Maeve's "Inclusive Kingdom ”. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I saw the signs for "BLM BLTs", "Woke Wok", and "LGBTurkey Legs".

It had a real "businesses who pander to this are a joke" vibe.

As others have said, this season didn't waste any time on setting that "holy shite that's crazy" bar pretty damned high. Exploding a guy by insta-growing out of his dick? WHO THINKS OF THIS!?!

I loved the tinnitus sound to give the viewer an idea that Homelander was struggling to not completely lose his shite. That scene with the jumper was fricking gold. It all did a great job of building up to that phenomenal TV outburst.

After that, he just went full bore on fricking with people. That entire meal with Deep was just him making sure Deep understood who was in charge. The #Homelight thing was a swerve I didn't see coming.

This three-episode start to the season was a great way to get things kicked off. The only bad part is having to wait for the rest of the episodes.

It was the first time I’ve seen something mainstream poke fun at that craziness. And good for them. Hopefully more follow. The censorship is getting out of hand. All sides are fair game. Call out the weird shite.

Pretty fun so far. Did the CGI for the blood and guts get worse this season? Looks very Sci Fi channel level effects.

Also I guess I did not recall some of the season 2 storylines very well. I barely remember the cult storyline.

That messes with me because at first I wonder if that is me then realize it’s in the show.

Some far this season is awesome. Homelander is one of my all time favorite characters and the actor absolutely nails it.

I feel like Ashley is the personification of my sheer terror everytime Homelander is on screen.

The propaganda and head canon is extremely strong with this season. Everything imaginable that’s wrong in the world is because of Nazis and Reagan. No one else.

For fricks sake, they could not have dotted the i’s and crossed the T’s anymore clearer.

The penis was actually built

quote:

“My favorite little factoid about that scene is, even though visual effects sweetened it, that is a practical penis,” Kripke said. “11 feet high and 20 feet long, built at great expense. So when he’s jumping up into that hole, that’s a real thing that’s happening. And it’s exhibit 7,030 of why I love this job.”

I’ll admit… I was a little bit uncomfortable with them using a model of my dong - but I was happy to help

Robert Singer for President in episode 1 was that the first Supernatural crossover? Same actor played Bobby Singer in Supernatural

So we’re just ignoring the AOC clone who is a full-on sup plant and adopted child of Edgar himself? Or the whole Marvelous Maeve Veggie Tacos?

Or them full on calling out A-Train’s attempt at wokeness in order to stay popular?

Talk about cherry picking. They do a fine job of calling out hypocrisy across the board.

I think a more Chomsky approach to half truths would have omitted Russian meddling and only blamed the United States.

I really got nervous about the show jumping the shark with the StormFront secret Nazi thing but they didn't go full retard.

You can probably find things in the show to dislike no matter which political belief system you hold. I'm happy they aren't just riding one hobby horse. Even the heroic characters are fairly imperfect.

And the worst sociopath of the show might be Homelander but they show him pulling back from the Nazi belief system (which frankly makes sense because being Superman is a lot more special than blonde hair and blue eyes or hatred of Jewish people). He really doesn't have any relationship to mundane outlets or rationales for murderous behavior.

You're sad! Show is not woke BS. You think everything thing that touches any subject that, that makes you feel uncomfortable is woke. What a sad little man you are. Show actually went after the woke crowd right 9ff the bat this season. But you only see what you're feeble mind can compute.

Show is definitely woke but makes subtle jabs at itself
