Part 5/9:
Eric Kripke, the show's creator, has been candid about his intentions. He famously said he was fine losing viewers who disagreed with the political message embedded in the series, particularly its critique of conservatives and right-wing figures. In interviews, he framed The Boys as a continuation of a dark, comic satire that increasingly heckled "Trumpism" and right-leaning politics, sometimes related to a parody of recent political events, including elections.
This openly political approach has sparked criticism from fans, many of whom feel alienated and annoyed by what they perceive as heavy-handed, biased storytelling. The series seems to have become less of a parody and more of a political soapbox, driving away viewers who do not share its ideological perspective.
