With Eric Kripke‘s depiction of an all-powerful fascist in The Boys, its been impossible not to find parallels in certain current events, and the latest episode continues to serve as an eery prediction.

Following the unveiling of a gold Donald Trump statue during last month’s Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral Golf Club, the creator and fans of the Prime Video series reacted to Homelander (Antony Starr) getting his own gilded likeness in this week’s sixth episode ‘Through the Heavens Fall’.

“You can’t make this shit up,” wrote one fan on X in reaction to a video of the statue being dedicated and blessed in a ceremony at Mar-a-Lago.

On Saturday, Kripke acknowledged the creepy parallel, sharing a side-by-side of the statues on his Instagram. “Seriously what the fuck?” read the meme.

Last month, Kripke reacted to Trump’s Truth Social post of an AI-generated image depicting him as Jesus Christ after Homelander chillingly claimed in the episode ‘Every One of You Sons of Bitches’ that he is God.

“I am really tired and weary of the world reflecting the show before we get a chance to do it,” he told Polygon. “I appreciate the marketing. I’m just like, can you just please give us a chance to put some absurd satire out there before you prove that it’s more realistic than we ever intended?”

Kripke added, “This is the episode where Homelander decides he’s going to be God and 48 hours before it, Trump releases an image of himself as God. A month ago when we were talking about marketing, I was like, Homelander saying he’s God is so out there. We have to be careful about how we even introduce the idea to the public because they’ll say he’s gone too far and here we are. It’s just really hard to out-satire this world.”

Trump deleted the AI-generated image of him as Jesus following backlash from both sides of the aisle. “I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross,” he claimed to press. “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better.”

Kripke previously noted that the current fifth and final season of The Boys was written before the 2024 presidential election, expressing it’s “really fucking unsettling” that an upcoming plot point in next week’s seventh episode ‘The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother’s Milk’ has “already happened” in real life.

Given the violent nature of the fifth and final season of The Boys, and Kripke’s admitted use of Homelander as a Trump surrogate character, let’s hope the parallels don’t get too accurate leading up to the May 19 4DX theatrical finale, followed by its Prime Video debut the next day.
