VIDEO INTRO: You can't make this stuff up how crazed these people in Hollywood are. And almost nobody's worse than Eric Kripke, the showrunner of "The Boys". He has shown his disdain for half the country. Not only in the way that he tweets and reacts to people over the last several years, but also within the fiction of The Boys itself.
As he's turned a Garth Ennis work -- which was this dark, edgy superhero comic series from back in the day -- into this constant anti-Trump rant.
Now, this is the second time in the show that he's actually done a staging of a killing of Elon Musk in some way. And you know what these people are trying to do? They're trying to incite violence.
I remind you that they were actually doing a episode called "Assassination Run" in 2024, and Amazon pulled the title of the episode because Trump actually got shot. They actually want this. They're fantasizing about this. It's absolutely disgusting.
So, the episode introduced a character named Gunther Van Ellis [who is a parody of Elon Musk] ... analyst and writer Kangmin Lee actually posted a thread on the finale. He said the show's writers turned Homelander into a Trump analog ... The entire show was just a deranged sexual humiliation fantasy projected onto Trump. They can't even produce decent superhero parody without injecting their twisted fetishes into every script.
[...] So Elon Musk replied to the thread with one word. He said pathetic.
And it really is. It is a pathetic cope. [...] So, Kripke actually responded to Elon Musk saying this. [...] the showrunner celebrated Musk calling his finale pathetic as a marketing triumph. He is correct that it generates attention, but he's incorrect if he believes that attention translates into the audience he lost over five seasons over increasingly narrow political targeting...
