The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke, explaining in a TVLine interview published yesterday why Season 5 character Firecracker was always going to be murdered — and who she represented: Firecracker was intentionally made by Krikpe an allegory for Trump loyalists including Marjorie Taylor Greene, Megyn Kelly, Lauren Boebert, and Pam Bondi. Kripke's own words: "It's the most predictable pattern in the world, which is Trump demanding ultimate allegiance, making someone compromise every value they've ever had, and then kicking them out into the cold. It doesn't matter how much you kiss Homelander's a**. It doesn't matter how much you give up. Nothing will ever be enough, and you'll eventually get hoisted on your own petard. So we felt that was the right punishment for this character." In light of recent assassination attempts, does it seem that naming real women as characters written to be murdered is satire, or something else?
