The Boys: Will Vought Sue Trump for Third-Rate Homelander Knock-Off?

Yup, it's time for another one of those posts. You know, when the real world contributes something so mind-scarring & righteously absurd (and not in a good way), it begs comparison to Amazon & Showrunner Eric Kripke's The Boys? And then there are those Donald Trump-related moments when even Kripke wonders aloud how much further the line between show and reality will continue to blur. Well, it looks like that blurring's going to continue for at least another week because Trump teased a "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" yesterday for today. No, he didn't announce that he was going to go under oath before the January 6th committee and confess to everything. Instead, he announced that he was getting his own… wait for it… wait for it… digital trading cards. Yup. Needless to say, the "major announcement" went over about as well as a loud, wet fart at a funeral service. But as you're about to see from the screencap below, the "superhero" poses caught Kripke's attention in a big way. From the American Flag cape to his laser vision, Trump gets to live out his hero fantasies in ways he never could (and essentially get his followers to flip the bill for it). If you ask us, we think Homelander's got a serious lawsuit for copyright and trademark infringement. And unlike Trump, Vought has the billions needed to fight a legal fight like that one. Though from what we hear, Trump may not always be up on his

Here's Kripke's "A Tale of Two Tweets." In the first, Kripke's already seeing the obvious similarities. But it's the second tweet that we appreciate because it vibes of someone who also checked out the commercial for the digital cards and is fully appreciating just how bats**t crazy the real world continues to get in comparison to the world of The Boys.

To prove to you just how much Trump's become a "bad gift that keeps on giving" for the hit streaming series, Kripke let Trump know all the way back in January 2021 that they're good over at the Amazon Prime series; they have more than enough stuff to work with, and that he can just pretty much go away. Like, to jail. Forever. Especially with Kripke's tweet going out only two days after a bunch of tinfoil hat-wearing whackjobs attempted a coup by trashing the nation's capital, killing a police officer, and looking to attack members of Congress- essentially, an Oval Office-endorsed terrorist attack on the Senate and House of Representatives. Here's a look at Kripke's tweet, where he also called out Twitter for allowing Trump back onto the social media even after Mark Zuckerberg kicked him off of Facebook and Instagram:
