The Boys Mocks Homelander's Footwear Choice

Remember when far-right fans discovered that Prime Video's The Boys was mocking them? As Homelander became a meme-worthy figure that some worshipped, the similarities between the superpowered potential fascist - who is facing trial in the upcoming season - and former President Trump grew closer.

Following Trump's unveiling of his branded sneakers at a Sneaker Con event, the day after he was slapped with a $355 civil fraud judgment, the Vought International Twitter account revealed that Homelander would also be releasing his own line of sneakers.

Today, Vought is proud to announce the Homelander High-Tops! Based on our greatest hero's boots, these shoes will make you feel like you can fly. Available at a Super deal of $777, with all proceeds going to his legal defense fund. Get yours before his sham of a trial on June 13!

At the end of Season 3, Homelander killed a man who threw something at his son Ryan, in front of a crowd of his own supporters with large fanfare. It mirrors Trump's "Fifth Avenue" speech from years ago, which is apt since showrunner Eric Kripke has always had Homelander as a Trump analog.

Season 4 of The Boys hits Prime Video on June 13.

"The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power," reads a line from Season 4's official description. "Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca's son as well as his job as The Boys' leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late."

Editor's P/S:

The article's comparison between Homelander and Trump is striking and thought-provoking. The parallels between the fictional character and the former president's words and actions are chillingly accurate. The show's creators have cleverly used Homelander to satirize Trump's authoritarian tendencies, his cult of personality, and his blatant disregard for the truth.

The article also highlights the show's relevance to current events. The upcoming trial of Homelander mirrors the ongoing legal battles surrounding Trump. The release of Homelander's sneakers, a blatant cash grab, is a reminder of Trump's own business ventures that have often been intertwined with his political career. The Boys continues to hold a mirror up to society, exposing the dangers of fascism and the corrosive effects of power.
