Season 2 of #TheBoys turns up the volume on its #antiAmerican theme, making fun of traditional #Americanculture

#Homelander is a #Superman analog, he represents America and wears a stylized version of the American flag for his cape. He's revealed to be a villain, of course

1/4
In episode 4 of season 2, the tv show depicts Homelander as painted on the side of a barn, presumably by a farmer who has substituted the Confederate flag, which "reveals" Homelander (America) to be racist.

2/4
This also kind of mocks the rural American cultural tradition of painting valued things on barns.

I'm really disappointed that entertainment, especially the superhero genre, has taken this Leftist turn.

3/4
I grew up reading #superherocomics and it was great to see #IronMan in 2008, or for that matter #XMen in 2000, but now the stories are heavy-handed metaphors for the Left's false claim of "systemic racism" and "America is a villain." Very disappointing.

4/4
