This is literally the point of The Boys. What if normal greedy people held the power, what would that look like if they were superpowered.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 56 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Even in The Boys, the real evil came from their corporate overlords.

[–] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

More specifically capitalism. Pretty good show.

Europe: "Why do Americans hate natives and black people?" after raping Africa for its resources.

Unlike Americans, Europeans would never create systematic forms of oppression....... except with migrants, and Arabs, and Romas, and Samis, and other Europeans.

[–] Jordan_U@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Roma.

G* has always been a slur.

Americans: "Stop with the what-aboutism arguments when they apply to us. Others? Sure, I'm fine with that."

Wtf, I can't believe this is real.

Also- 1969, nice.

Now do your country.

Edit: so far GB and Canada have a sense of humour

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 21 points 8 months ago (10 children)

Canada to Canadians:

A Mountie standing between all the world’s major conflicts blocking the worst of it, in the background there’s a stack of Olympic hockey medals.

Canada to the rest of the world:

Aren’t you guys like, a part of the US? Anyway I put sugar in your tea for you because that’s how the Americans like it.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Canada to indigenous peoples: Homelander.

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I think this is our official statement on indigenous genocide:

Wait, if homelander is 'murica does that make this part 9/11?

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 8 months ago

Fuckin diabolical.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Eh... Most of us see our country as somewhere in-between now a days.

That's how our government is. The majority of the people here are like sheep. Completely oblivious to what our military is doing to places around the world.

[–] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

And not even improving the lives of its own citizens. Literally just causing as much death and destruction all over the world as possible just to profit a couple of military and oil corporations and their owners.

Would probably be more impactful if I had seen that show

[–] A_L1FE@lemmings.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You should, it's a great show if you are not against a realistic version of the injustice league.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

"realistic" eh

Think it's more a blunt commentary on celebrity culture than anything else

It's actually pretty great

[–] DragonTypeWyvern 8 points 8 months ago

The best part of this is that's the worst version of Superman who was definitely going to turn evil.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

At most this one

[–] pifox@pawb.social 4 points 8 months ago

Kind of a shitty mix of both.

[–] solidsnake2085@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Ron Desantis looking like Homelander.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

More like him (with the Nuke guy watching his back).
