So, right. I literally just saw the boys season 3 come out on prime video. I remember having a cool discussion with this group earlier when we discussed how what Homelander symbolized, how AOC was in the story fictitiously, that kind of stuff. Was just wondering if anyone would take the bait (so to speak) again

I got the opposite impression of the CIA bit tbh.
It certainly tried to make the CIA lady a sympathetic character but in no way did it paint the agency in a favorable light.
'We're the hip CIA, we're the cool CIA, we're the modern CIA, we're the diverse but not too neoliberal CIA' -Hasan Piker 🤣
I meant that it presented her as someone with a clear moral conflict and remorse for having been a part of it while simultaneously presenting the agency itself as unambiguously evil.
Bro I appreciate that, because I was just having a 'mature discussion' yesterday with a bit of an older dude, and he was claiming to me that he understood writing a lot more now that he was an adult. Like how kids really can't be docked for when they make a mistake. In high school/college level+ writing, it's especially important that you state your intentions clearly, because you need to make sure what you're saying is opinion and it's clear that in writing at least, you make it known that it is your opinion. So yeah, thanks bruh :)
Yeah in general from what I've watched so far, (5 minutes in 🤣 ) it seems like I'm definitely on your side. I think it seems like they're a generally anti-capitalist show. Staytunedasopinionsmaychangeinfuture. Theinformation-witholdingpartyisnotresponsible foreveryfuture, opinion, change.
:pepsi: :cop:
Theyve largely dropped the CIA sponsorship AFAIK since Raynor got popped in S2E1. The setup changed between S2 and S3, its implied the Boys are an off-book contractor for the new BFSA under Neumann so they're more "above-board" now.
Its frankly another change from the original comic that I've mixed feelings about. In the comic they were straight up black hat contractors for the CIA and the CIA was pretty unambiguously portrayed as baddies with their own priorities who would (and did) drop them as soon as they were no longer needed.
