Kanye West Receives Unflattering Depiction In “The Boys”

by

Back in 2022, Kanye West went on numerous anti-semitic rants. Additionally, he decided to start hanging out with white supremacists like Nick Fuentes and even Milo Yiannapoulos. Overall, this was a shocking display even by Ye’s standards. Fans felt completely betrayed and even now, Ye has been unable to shake the anti-semitic past he has cultivated. In fact, he never truly apologized for his comments, and there are numerous fans who have never returned to his side.

Now, it seems like Ye’s politics are being scrutinized by TV shows. For instance, The Boys is currently in the midst of its fourth season. Despite being a superhero show, it has proven to be inherently political. The show has taken aim at the Alt-Right and conspiracy theorists. In the latest episode, dubbed “Wisdom Of Ages,” a character named Firecracker mentioned Kanye by name while hosting a rally. During this rally, the character spewed their conspiracy theories and vitriol. Meanwhile, they claimed Kanye was actually in the crowd.

Kanye is never actually shown in this episode. However, there is no doubt that the use of his name had many intrigued. Overall, The Boys has never shied away from this kind of commentary, so it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise. Either way, it will be interesting to see whether or not Ye decides to respond.

Premiere Date Set for ‘The Boys’ Season 4 on Prime Video

Oh boy, Prime Video set a premiere date for season 4 of their hit series, The Boys.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, go stream previous seasons. ICYMI, The Boys is based on The New York Times’ best-selling comic series by creators Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The Boys Executive was produced by Ennis and Robertson and was developed for the small screen by Eric Kripke.

“In Season Four, 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,” the synopsis reads for the eight-episode season. “Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and 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.”

The Boys stars genre icon Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti. Season 4 is boarding Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, recently known from The Walking Dead franchise – that should be fun. 

Oh, and about that premiere date. The Boys season 4 will kick things off on June 13 with three episodes before resuming a weekly episodic release ending on July 18 with the season finale.

Even Debbie Harry Herself Seems Impressed By Jensen Ackles’ ‘Epic’ Blondie Cover On ‘The Boys’

by
Soldier Boy Jensen Ackles The Boys
Amazon

Jensen Ackles is known for many things, mostly acting, but also the fact that he is no stranger to belting out a tune every once in a while and kind of killing it. Perhaps the writers of The Boys found this out and decided to use his talents for good in a new clip from the Amazon series.

Ackles’ character, a superhero by the name of Solider Boy (not that one), managed to perform a dazzling cover of Blondie’s 1980 hit “Rapture” during a preview of the very eighties show Solid Gold, complete with disco ball visuals and dancers donning side-ponies and body suits. Not only did Soldier Boy actually do a good job, but the cover made its way to Blondie herself, Debbie Harry.

Harry, who seems to be a fan of the show, responded to the video on Twitter, calling the performance “epic” and saying she was “speechless.”

Anthony Starr aka Homelander responded, “Epic indeed!! The version you never knew you needed,” to which Harry delightedly responded: “Homelander lazer us!!!” Perhaps there will be a Blondie/The Boys crossover in the newly ordered fourth season of the series? The icon even went back and forth with the official The Boys Twitter account, which makes a crossover even more likely. Let’s make it happen!
