The Boys and the Homelander are making fun of the newly launched Donald Trump NFTs.
Regarding mocking Trump, it's no secret that Homelander is meant to be the 45th president because The Boys producer Eric Kripke, a prominent Hollywood liberal who dislikes Trump, recently yelled, "F'k MAGA!"
At the recent 47th Saturn Awards, Kripke took up the trophy for Best Action/Adventure Television Series and said, “Thank you, everyone! Please vote! F-ck MAGA! And have a great night.”
Kripke has also claimed that Homelander is Donald Trump.
“He’s always been a Trump analog for me. I’ll admit to being a little more bald this season than I have in past seasons. But the world is getting more coarse and less elegant. The urgency of our team’s writing reflects that,” Kripke told Rolling Stone.
“We’re angrier and more scared as the years go on, so that is just being reflected in our writing.”
Kripke continued, “But part of it is where Homelander’s story naturally goes. He has this really combustible mix of complete weakness and insecurity, and just horrible power and ambition, and it’s just such a deadly combo. Of course, he would feel victimized that people are angry that he dated a Nazi.”
He added, “All he ever wants is to be the most powerful person he can be, even though he’s completely inadequate in his abilities to handle it. So it’s white-male victimization and unchecked ambition.”
On further comparison to Trump, he said, “And those issues just happened to reflect the guy who, it’s just still surreal to say it, was f-cking president of the United States. And it’s a bigger issue than just Trump. The more awful public figures act, the more fans they seem to be getting. That’s a phenomenon that we wanted to explore, that Homelander is realizing that he can actually show them who he really is and they’ll love him for it.”
