Eric Kripke, creator of the series The Boys, reacted with astonishment after a golden statue of Donald Trump unveiled in the United States resembled a scene shown in the Prime Video series.
The buzz began after Trump unveiled a giant golden statue at his golf club in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The comparison emerged because, in the sixth episode of The Boys, Homelander appeared being honored with a huge golden statue amid the political cult created around the character.
Kripke took to his Instagram profile to compare the two scenes. The post quickly drew attention from internet users, who agreed with the comparison made by the showrunner.
According to the website Entertainment Weekly, many fans began commenting that the series had once again “predicted” events connected to Trump. The parallel became even stronger because the current season shows Homelander being treated almost like a religious and messianic figure by his followers.
The comparison gained even more attention after evangelical leaders held prayers in front of the Trump statue during the unveiling ceremony. On social media, users even compared the episode to the “golden calf” mentioned in the Bible.
This is not the first time Eric Kripke has commented on similarities between the series and real-life events involving Trump. Recently, the showrunner said that some ideas that seemed “too absurd” when they were written ended up actually happening in the United States. The Boys is currently in its fifth and final season.
