Just goes to show that like Garth, Kripke’s parody of superheroes comes from misinformed hatred rather than love. That’s why they don’t really land imo, and the more worthwhile satire is the political real world stuff. At least until that devolved into just copy-pasting the latest news headlines and replacing “Trump” with “Homelander.”
I think the felon ex-president is scum too, but that’s not the hard hitting satire they think it is.
I'm glad they kept the trial to a minimum and didn't drag it out. I don't like the Donald either but they also don't need to remind us, especially when it's nothing groundbreaking.
Exactly. What good does just saying “Trump Bad” do at this stage? The Supreme Court and other political forces are poised to hand the entire country over to this guy to rule with absolute authority, and this is the best insight Kripke can offer? Satire won’t work on people who’s minds are so poisoned and warped that meaningful reflection is almost impossible.

Hot damn that was a tough read. Still love the show but Kripke needs to get his head out his ass.
Also, Batman ain't a fascist.
