The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has responded to the striking similarity between a scene from the superhero show and Donald Trump’s recently erected golden statue of himself.
Last week’s episode of Amazon Prime Video’s superhero and political satire, titled “Though the Heavens Fall,” saw Homelander (Antony Starr), the sadistic and psychotic leader of the superhero team “The Seven,” place a golden statue of himself inside a church. Declaring himself the new messiah after being visited in a vision by “angel” Madelyn Stillwell (Elisabeth Shue) in an earlier episode, Homelander demands to be worshipped.
