House Of The Dragon Au Alan Yu As Prince Daemon Targaryen

Over the centuries, House Targaryen has produced both great men and monsters. Prince Daemon was both. In his day there was not a man so admired, so beloved, and so reviled in all Westeros. He was made of light and darkness in equal parts. To some he was a hero, to others the blackest of villains.

The real issue with the politics in s4 of The Boys

Ok before y’all jump me- I agree with most, if not all, of the political stances that the show takes. That being said there have been serious issues in the way the politics is being handled in s4.

It’s true that the previous seasons were never subtle, but the problem with s4 isn’t that it’s more in your face politics. The problem is the way it fits into the story.

In s1-3 whenever politics were brought up (all the time) they were well integrated into the plot. When they talked about racism, it wasn’t a one liner, it involved making characters like Stormfront a huge focus of the season. They EXPLORED and FLESHED OUT all of the political topics that they brought up.

In s4, instead we have random line drops about transgender people, abortion, immigration etc, without diving deep. Not every political topic needs to be included. They need to include ones only where they can seamlessly incorporate it into the plotline.

The abortion scene was so jarring. Here we have a MAIN character (Starlight) supposedly get an abortion and make that tough decision and WE NEVER HEAR OF IT. It basically happened *between seasons* and then is only brought up when exposed by Firecracker and then never again. Like tf is that?? What other show would leave out such a huge moment??

Similarly we have random lines where a white man talks about being a slave catcher while eyeing A-Train and all sorts of cringy BS. Whereas before, the racial dynamics of police violence (Stormfront, Blue Hawk) are a huge part of his arc and redemption.

They just threw shit in without workshopping it to fit the plot. I don’t mind funny campy moments like when they donated Tek Knight’s money to liberal organizations while he had a breakdown, but every political moment in s4 is taking that same tone. Just dropped in for no reason. I did like how they did Firecracker though, having her be a host spreading far right conspiracy theories worked.
