"Are they actually watching the show?", responded showrunner Eric Kripke
(Web Desk) - The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has responded after Donald Trump supporters depicted the President as the Amazon Prime Video show’s villain Homelander.
In the anti-superhero show, Homelander is seen committing murder, spreading xenophobic hate and making love to a Nazi. Last week, Trump supporters held the #MillionMAGAMarch in Washington, DC following the President’s defeat to Democrat nominee Joe Biden in the 2020 US Presidential election.
As shared by writer Laura Jedeed on Twitter, one Trump supporter dressed up as Homelander while wearing a Trump mask, depicting the President as the show’s villain.
The tweet was then quoted by The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke, who was confused at why they’d decided to compare the President to the show’s clear villain. “Um … are they actually watching the show?” he wrote.
