The Boys Creator Reveals the Hidden ‘Net Positive’ Behind Homelander’s Dark Metaphor

The recent episode of The Boys, “Though The Heavens Fall,” featured the superhero Homelander building a golden statue of himself in a church and demanding to be worshipped as a messiah. This felt strikingly similar to a real-life event when Donald Trump unveiled a 15-foot golden statue of himself, nicknamed “Don Colossus,” at his Miami golf resort. The timing of the statue’s reveal was so coincidental that the show’s creator, Eric Kripke, expressed his astonishment on social media.
