i’m not an actual hater of the boys s5, i think the reason why people say it’s bad are mostly wrong. i, however, think it is bad in the way that the boys spends so much time calling out racist societal views to then do the very thing they are critiquing. in s3, one of my fav moments is when MM tells annie how unfair it is that butcher is allowed to be absolutely hellbent and fucking insane about killing homelander but the SECOND he wants to be upset and angry and do something about soldier boy, everyone tells him he basically isn’t allowed to and has to control his emotions. in the same vein, in s2 in butcher and stan edgar’s conversation, butcher asks stan edgar why he works for a racist company and edgar’s reply is “rage is a white man’s luxury” (i think). i loved these two moments a lot because i think it is the first time i’ve seen a critique like that in such a popular media source.
