I think that the show "The Boys" has become the thing it criticizes
Hello everyone, I don't want to sound like a smug nerd that hates everything so I'm gonna start by stating that I myself am a big consumer due to my gaming hobby
I think I've been living under a rock or something because I just discovered that The Boys made a crossover with CoD (Warzone I think, I'm not into shooters that much) and this really surprised me because that is the same live service, battle pass centered game with things like Nicki Minaj and Messi as purchasable skins
I always liked how The Boys criticized mega corporations using realistic parallels with the real world despite being a show produced by Amazon but now that has no meaning because the IP is being used to sell dumb skins in a game that for many represents the decline of the industry
I guess I shouldn't have belived that a show made by Amazon would stick to ideals or something, it was always for the infinite money given by reaching the status of top of the pyramid in western pop cultuture
