TheBoys mocks former President Donald Trump's trading cards announcement by joking that new Homelander cards are also now available for purchase
In their latest marketing stunt, The Boys' social media team mocks former President Trump's digital trading card with a similar Homelander NFT. The comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis satirizes the superhero genre, imagining many metahumans as corrupt media stars who only act good for the cameras and their loyal followers.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY With The Boys leaning more into real-world political parallels, the show's supplementary page, Vought International, imagines their version of Trump's new digital trading card collection with a Homelander parody. The Homelander trading card announcement features similar phrasing to the Trump announcement, claiming that Homelander fans can celebrate the hero's life by paying 777 VoughtCoin for a non-fungible JPEG.
Homelander's newly outward wickedness has the opposite effect that the eponymous Boys wanted, which parallels Trump's controversial rise to power and passionate fanbase. Therefore, the response to the former President's digital trading card collection, which unironically takes advantage of the Boys' season 3 writing of Homelander, bolsters Homelander's analogous characterization in the Prime Video series.
Assuming The Boys continues the trend of Homelander paralleling Trump, audiences should expect more parodies of his more controversial or humorous social media posts and additional mirrorings of real-world events in The Boys season 4. For example, if Kripke and The Boys writing team get particularly bold, Homelander could, perhaps, instigate a full-scale riot against a government entity like the Bureau of Superhero Affairs.
