Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers?

No. If it’s just the getting powers and it’s not like a toxin thing that actually corrupts/poisons.
Absolutley there will be those that need to be put down hard, but I don’t think it would be as set up in The Boys
Part of why that world works the way it does is Vought. The other is that Homelander is tiers above the other characters and he is a psychopath raised by an evil organization. Given that no one was able to compare to Homelander he couldn’t be challenged. His treatment of other supes is a large reason why that is.
There would still be chaos, but it wouldn’t be like that show, I don’t think because there are many people that would actually just want to be helpful
Fame and fortune already makes people nutty, or rewards bad behavior maybe, but I don’t think the powers themselves would corrupt people and make them evil.

You act like we don’t have Vought in the real world already. Vought is literally just a parody of Amazon, and not just because it’s made by Amazon Prime

I didn’t say we didn’t. Not sure why you think I’m ignoring companies like Amazon. If they operated as freely as Vought does then yes it would look the same, but Vought created supers in The Boys and controlled access to them. Thats where I was pretty clear about establishing my opinion and how the real world is different from the world of The Boys.
