‘The Boys’ had the best response to Donald Trump’s ridiculous NFT scheme
Every day, as I catch up on the latest news around the internet, it feels like at least one headline makes me stop and wonder, is this supposed to be a joke? We have made QAnon realize that one of the most famous bands of all time, The Beatles, was “woke”. Or how about the major cable news network trying to push a military “pup kink” conspiracy? They are both real things that happened THIS MONTH!
We’re all trying to do our best, keep our heads down and get through the holidays. But now this strange and wild news just won’t let us go. The clown who won’t go away, aka Donald Trump, dropped 45,000 NFTs depicting himself in absurd (heavily photoshopped) “masculine” poses to drum up some quick cash. I wish it was a joke, but it’s painfully real. At least The boys found a way to make us laugh through the nausea caused by DT’s NFTs.
Do all villains wear capes with American flags?
There are a lot of terrible images to choose from among these cursed NFTs. In one, Trump plays dress-up as a sheriff. There is another one where he rides an elephant just like a big boy. But the image that keeps coming up is one where Trump is supposed to look like a hypermasculine superhero — you know, very realistic art. The superhero outfit looks pretty similar to what Homelander is wearing on Amazon The boys, even down to the American flag cape. There’s another one where Trump shoots red lasers out of his eyes, just like Homelander’s superpower. In perfect The boys fashion, they made their own “big announcement”.
The official Vought International Twitter account announced the Homelander digital trading cards. Of course, the tweet read very similar to Trump’s own—this is an exciting deal and you should buy now before they are all gone! The image showed the Homelander in his signature suit, looking heroic in the distance. Maybe if I buy Homelander digital trading cards, I’ll be as cool and masculine as him.
Most of us laugh at the hilarious similarities between Trump and Homelander, but I think the irony would be lost on Trump and his supporters. They have a history of thinking it’s a good thing for Trump to be compared to the sociopathic villain from The boys. I suppose they are similar in many ways, but none of these similarities are cause for celebration. At least it makes it easier to pick out the bad guys, as long as they keep dressing like each other.
