prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoI’m well aware of the obvious parallels to the real world in Star Wars. The Boys is an accurate reflection of our real world, and how “supers” would behave in an unregulated, ultra-capitalist society.
You can like Darth Vader for looking badass and having a red light saber, without being a fascist. You can’t really say the same for people who actually like Homelander and think he’s a good guy.

I like Homelander because he’s so fucked up, so sick and twisted, such a well written roll and perfectly performed. But I like dystopian worlds, as entertainment. I like Gaspar Noé movies. But I can’t say Homelander is a good guy, no. Just pure evil.
But it’s the same with Darth Vader. Who would think he’s a good guy? You can like him for being cool and evil, but saying he’s the good guy is the same as saying Homelander is a good guy, isn’t it?
