'Real subtle': season finale of Amazon Prime show features presidential assassination plot scheduled for January 6, debuts ONE WEEK after Trump shooting



“The Boys” – a television series about rogue superheroes – is one of Amazon Prime’s most successful shows to date. However, with each season, the producers have dialed up the wokeness and all but ruined the show. Its popularity rating has dropped in tandem with the increased politicization of the characters and plot.

In her last video, Lauren tackled the show’s pro-abortion agenda. In this review, she lambastes the finale, which was destined to be a scandal due to its contents and timing.

To backtrack a bit, in this season of “The Boys,” the writers have made it clear from the get-go that the character of Homelander, who is the face of the entire series, is a parody of Donald Trump – the left’s version of Donald Trump, that is.

Homelander and his supporters are painted as racist, sexist, fascist, and just plain evil. It could easily be said that his character mirrored the mainstream media’s incessant cries of “Trump is Hilter!”

Interestingly enough, the finale of “The Boys” dropped on July 18, not even a week after Trump’s near-assassination. But did that stop the creators from airing the episode, which, believe it or not, centered on the plotted assassination of a president (which was scheduled for January 6) and Homelander’s plan to take over America and imprison those who don’t get on board with his agenda?

No, it did not.

The finale dropped as scheduled, but the original title of the episode – “Assassination Run” – was changed to just “Season 4 Finale.” The producers also threw in a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode that read: “Viewer discretion advised. This episode contains scenes of fictional political violence. Any similarities to recent events are completely coincidental and unintentional. Prime Video, Amazon MGM Studios, Sony Pictures Television and producers of The Boys oppose, in strongest terms, real-world violence of any kind.”

“You've just spent an entire season absolutely skewering American conservatives, and your season finale is set to air just a few days following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, and in said finale, you also feature an attempted political assassination, this time at the hands of your Donald Trump parody character,” says Lauren, adding that she “personally would not have wanted to be on the PR team for Amazon.”

“Basically the entire message of Season 4 of ‘The Boys’ has been that conservatives are domestic terrorists; they are the real threats; they are the violent ones,” she continues.

Further, when it comes to Amazon’s disclaimer, Lauren argues that the entire reason it was necessary is because of the show’s failed attempt at satire.

“I think satire is best done when it's frankly more layered and less obvious and more thematic than just simply parodying specific individuals and specific events,” she says.

'Midwit' writers of ‘The Boys’ just took WOKE to a new level



Amazon Prime’s “The Boys” has always been “woke,” but the latest season took the meaning of the word to an entirely new level.

“‘The Boys’ has really always been ‘woke’ since its first season,” Lauren Chen explains. “It’s only now, in its later seasons, particularly seasons three and four, that I found the wokeness is becoming really just too much.”

Chen points to one scene in particular that took it one step too far.

“There was a scene that was so stupid, so poorly written,” Chen says. The scene featured Victoria Newman, a Latina politician with super powers, and the newest character Sage, a black woman, whose entire presence in the show “is so frustrating.”

“Her entire premise is that she is the smartest person alive, but here’s the thing. That’s a problem because the writers for this show are not that smart. So, the question is, how do you portray the smartest person in the world when you are a certifiable midwit?” Chen asks.

The writers came up with a solution to this midwit condition they have by telling “the audience that she is smart, that Sage is smart, many, many times.”

In this particular scene, Newman and Sage are attending what appears to be a right-wing political gathering full of old white billionaires. The pair are scheming to get these billionaires on board with Newman as president, and Newman complains that she had “abortion mansplained” to her by a man who “refuses to be alone with any woman who’s not his wife.”

Not only is Chen disturbed by the abortion comment, the entire scheme is childish and not reflective of the “smartest person in the world.”

“Something that Sage in her infinite wisdom has concocted, but it’s like, well, obviously if you’re trying to seize political power, doesn’t it make sense to get other people who have power on board with your cause?” Chen says.

“That’s not some grandmaster strategy, that’s just literally the bare minimum you would expect to do if you are trying to do a soft coup. This is not genius-level stuff. I’ve literally seen women’s book clubs with more intricate political backstabbing and intrigue than this show,” she adds.

Amazon Prime’s most successful show has always been woke, but now, it’s insufferably woke



If you’ve ever watched “The Boys” on Amazon Prime, then you know the superheroes who make up the main cast are more like super-zeroes. They’re exceedingly violent, greedy, and power-hungry, which of course is the point, as the series is designed to satirically flip the superhero archetype on its head.

Such a unique concept has resulted in the development of quite a significant fan base.

“Since its debut, [‘The Boys’ has] consistently been one of the streaming platform's highest rated and best-performing shows,” says Lauren Chen, BlazeTV's resident film critic.

However, now that the fourth season has dropped, the show’s popularity is waning dramatically.

Could it be because the series is drowning in wokeness?

“I have been 100% aware from the get-go that obviously the people behind ‘The Boys’ are leftists,” but it was “still worth watching,” says Lauren. “Until now, that is.”

“It’s always been woke, but in my opinion, previously, the wokeness was at least tolerable,” she says, adding that the complexity of the characters, the acting, and the strong dialogue made the show worth watching.

Further, “what made the show watchable, despite its wokeness, was that in previous seasons, the writers clearly weren't afraid of taking shots at their own side,” Lauren explains.

However, that all ended with the debut of season 4, which hasn’t even dropped all its episodes yet.

Take a look at the face of the series — Homelander, played by Anthony Starr. Once a complex character who was power-hungry and corrupt yet insecure and traumatized has been simplified in the fourth season into nothing more than “a parody of superhero, fascist Donald Trump.”

Additionally, “[Homelander’s] followers, his supporters or ‘home teamers’” (perhaps a play on Trumpers?) “are also just evil, racist, fascist, sexist, conspiracy theorists.”

“Seriously, the first three episodes of season 4 … [paint] Homelander’s supporters — these ‘home teamers’ — as these Alex Jones-watching, Jew-hating, literal loser conspiracy theorists who are just waiting for any reason to attack or get violent with their fellow Americans,” sighs Lauren.

Then “Starlight, who used to be an actual character with personality, has now just become a stand-in puppet for, I guess, the Democrats or feminists, who is just like, ‘I'm pro-good things; I hate the bad guy,’” she mocks.

Similarly, her followers — “starlighters” — represent “the good guys” because they’re anti-racism and anti-corporate corruption, but pro-feminism.

In scenes when the home teamers are pitted against the starlighters, the starlighters are painted as non-violent “angels,” whereas Homelander’s supporters are portrayed as “violent” and “evil.”

The message is crystal clear. Red=bad, blue=good.

If you don’t believe Lauren, then just look at the IMDB audience scores.

In season one, the audience gave the show a score of 90%, season two scored 83%, season three fell to 75%, and now season four is sitting at an abysmal 52%.

Perhaps people are getting sick of progressive agendas being shoved down their throats when all they want is just some good, old-fashioned entertainment.
