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
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.
