Amazon's The Boys and Christianity (Video Essay)
The Boys is back with the new fourth season and it’s as exciting as ever. However, I’ve found an ongoing trend that seems to be going on in the show from season 1 to the very new season 4.
That is its portrayal of Christianity.
So in this video, I talk about how Amazon's The Boys portrays Christianity through major characters like Homelander, Starlight, Ezekiel, and the new hero of the Seven, Firecracker. I will also be talking about why their portrayal of the religious faith is simply problematic.

Importance of Equality and Respect - Understanding Ken from Barbie (Video Essay)

    My favorite character from "Tangled: The Series" is Cassandra. 1. Cassandra 2. Varian. I don't know about everyone else. I do love them. But I like them for many different reasons, so I can't list them. 🙂 I understand her perspective on part of the world. Some people can't be trusted and having a friend that is cajoling and telling you what to do seems REALLY frustrating at times. Their friendship seemed one-sided. Rapunzel always got what she wanted and Cassandra never said no to Rapunzel because she loved her friend. (But I understand Raunzel's happy free spirit, and I love that... but... a few times she just doesn't use it in the best way. In "Freebird" Rapunzel encourages Cassandra to try something new, but ends up getting them both trapped.) Cassandra was right all along throughout Rapunzel's journey to the Dark Kingdom. She was right about the time when they got turned into birds. (She just walks up to two strangers out in the middle of the woods and easily trusts them.) She was right about the Great Tree because it was unsafe. And the House of Yesterday's Tomorrow. But other than that... Cassandra is a worthy character. She's intelligent, a skilled warrior and she shows so much loyalty to the people she loves. Even after what happened in season 3.

    I feel like it would’ve been much better for Eugene to take the moonstone only because his excuse would’ve been way better taking it to protect Rapunzel and considering that the spin-off of supposed to be about them, it would’ve been a better off story. And that way, Cassandra can even have a dream is being captain of the guard, in the captains excuse of retirement can just be simply cause he was tired.

    • @magicfantasyanimation2373

      I don’t think Rapunzel means too be selfish or bad friend she’s just getting use of the social life. She has been trapped in a tower for 18 years. So it makes sense for her not to have great social skills also most of her family and friends in the show don’t tell her that she’s doing these things and don’t tell her how they feel so it’s really on them as well.

    Tbh I think it’s more of the writers/directors fault, since I couldn’t help but notice how they kept forgetting important things and also left some plot holes (I think) Not to mention, recently found out that the director of this series despise Varian for his popularity, despite Rapunzel being the main character, so I feel like it might connect as to why Rapunzel isn’t as well written/executed as movie Rapunzel, and why she’s not the bestest of friends but that’s just imo

    This is great. Nice to see someone defend Frozen for once. I like how you gave Elsa her own segment. She really is a great character. The only thing I disagree with is that I don’t think Elsa didn’t want to be queen. I thought she had no problem with taking that role. Her powers and the burdens associated with them made it seem like her job as queen would become stressful, but by the end of the film, she was perfectly fine as queen. That’s kind of why I hate F2. She just became unhappy out of nowhere and it ruined that happy ending from Frozen 1

    First, Disney made the WORST DECISION EVER by NOT having Varian have his own series. They could have made the best series ever but noOoO! “He’s too tied with Rapunzel, she needs to be included too”, THEN MAKE HIM A WHOLE SEPARATE CHARACTER. HE DOES NOT NEED RAPUNZEL. Second, for 4:18 , fair enough. HOWEVER, I do think it should be mentioned how episodes before he makes the gun, he has his trauma laid in front of him, thanks to Cassandra’s anxiety induced rocks, where the amber was the only solution to help Corona. And he succeeded. That probably helped him gain more confidence and less fear to make an amber-trap gun. Timeline wise, it does make sense. (Just thought I should mention).

    Okay, gonna go on a bit of a rant here, but can we just talk about the fact that she let the guards throw Varian- a literal 14 YEAR OLD- out into a blizzard that iirc they straight up said in the episode could be deadly? And then STILL DIDN’T CHECK ON HIM?? Like she watched them drag him out of the castle into a storm she knew could kill him and she didn’t think to go looking for him or send anyone else to do it to, you know, SEE IF HE WAS EVEN STILL ALIVE?? Not to mention that she didn’t do anything about the fact that her father sent the guards after him because he “attacked her” when all he did was beg for her help while on the verge of a mental breakdown, even if she somehow didn’t know about it until Varian mentioned it, why didn’t she bring it up with the king after the fact since she knew he hadn’t done anything? She says multiple times that she feels bad about not helping him but not once does she try to check on him despite him being a currently orphaned and emotionally unstable kid with no one else to turn to for support. I mean he literally admits during his villain arc that he knows what he’s doing isn’t good, and him saying “So now you care about what I want, and all it took was threatening the things you love.” While a pretty basic antagonist line, is completely fair in his situation. She didn’t help him even after her parents got back to the kingdom safely and her mom took over as queen again, and she didn’t even bother to at least check on him for months until he contacted her. As much as I like Raps (at least the movie version), the way she treated Varian makes me want to scream, he deserved so much better.

    I think you not being American is why the show looks like its attacking Christianity because from you're perspective it is, But most Americans even Christians ones understand what the show is simply portraying reality. The crazy thing about every Christian scene in the show is that none of it is made up...NONE of it. Even the shit with Firecracker ACTUALLY happened, 4 years ago when Christians literally clapped after a pastor got exposed for being a Pedo MID SPEECH. The sad fact is for the last 2 decades a loud minority of Christians have single-handedly tarnished the image and reputation of the faith with their lies, bigotry and ignorance.

    i think everything and anything should be criticized, especially when christianity is used for manipulation. as a christian, i believe the mainstream church tends to manipulate and belittle followers into fearmongering and misconstruing the word of god into turning us against our fellow man for such miniscule reasoning as “gay bad”. i like how the show portrays BAD christians. however, the show also portrays good faithed christians as sheep who cannot form their own thoughts apart from the church, and as idiotic for even supporting the church. as the show goes on, it becomes less about exposing or parodying the bad faithed ‘christians’ and more about ridiculing us as a whole. would they expose any of the darker parts of islam? buddhism? hinduism? judaism? of course not, because they obviously don’t care about being an honest political commentary that pokes fun at every political sphere. this may have been the case in season one, but the show has just devolved into “look homelander is orange man january 6th” and basically another slop liberal propaganda piece to continue to divide americans and manipulate people into believing that everything is black and white or good vs evil. great video man.

    The entire point of portraying Christianity in the show is to criticize how individuals use it as a conduit to push their own personal agendas. The Boys goal is not to come out and bash people’s religious views and faith. Every clip you showed in the video shows the villains of the story using Christianity in such a way that Jesus would outright condemn, and that’s the point. Criticizing the use of a religion not out of faith, but personal gain. Christianity happens to be the example here because The Boys takes place in America, is written by Americans, and is consumed in America far more than anywhere else in the world.

    wow christians sure do love to pretend that they are persecuted all the time. also yes christianity is like this in america and its shoved down everyone's throats in support of the most horrible things like white nationalism christian nationalism racism homophobia transphobia etc etc all the time and honestly i think its fair to criticize it into inexistence because really all christians at least those with social, religious, economic, etc power do is prey on people too stupid or unprivileged educationally to understand science by quoting a 2000 year old book in ways that best suits them, all whilst pretending they are somehow persecuted by being the largest religion on the planet by followers and influence. i have heard the most stupid, horrid things argued in favor of this religion. and "real" christians can't say that this is somehow a malignant development of "non-real" christians because there is nothing separating the two groups religiously. one might have a more developed moral compass but their usage of the bible to then promote goodwill and charity etc etc has not the bible as its source but rather the person their self. if a doctrinal book with such influence as the bible can be used to argue for, with direct quotations, genocide, homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity, racism, and makes people so ignominiously pretend for the whole world to see that they are "persecuted" because there are muslims or jews or hindus in their country who would like to peacefully co-exist with them, there is a problem with the book and the religion itself. the problem lies in the fact that christianity and all religions are based on non-scientific fantasy which people use to garner and keep power. plain as. the only way forward is through rationality, science (which isn't a dogma but rather a living, breathing process for extracting the truth), and philosophy (which before such religions as christianity was viewed as the source of morals and wills to live etc etc). if people personally believe there is a god, it is a rational conclusion because we understand relatively little about the source of the universe. but when it turns into fantastical rigid stories (the catholic church views the bible's words as entirely true) which deny basic scientific facts (archeological evidence that the jews were likely never imprisoned in egypt, that the earth is not five thousand years old, that evolution is true, that abiogenesis is possible, the list could go on practically infinitely) and are used to argue the most horrific ideas and policies (i.e. slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, which is seen as righteous by many, many christians in america since they are often seen as even subhuman, other ideas listed previously, etc, this list could also extend practically infinitely), and are used to indoctrinate children from a birth and often discriminate against and destroy their personal beliefs and feelings (trust me, ive experienced it firsthand), and is even now replacing education on biology and chemistry in schools across what is supposed to be one of the most advanced countries in the world, it is entirely unacceptable and downright deadly. p.s. to address some of the directly stated points in the video, there is an epidemic problem of pedophilic priests in the catholic church in america and probably beyond (take your moral superiority and shove it), and it makes little sense to criticize the muslim religion in america when it has such a small foothold or effect on people here and it would only play into christian and white nationalist's ploys to exterminate them from existence or deport them, which isn't what rational, normal people want (i must make clear islam is just as bad as christianity). if christians are persecuted elsewhere in the world (i do not mean institutionally or to a wide-spread degree in south korea, where it makes up a plurality of religious), of course it is important that they are protected because they are human beings. but that does not make you persecuted and it does not make american christians persecuted, and it is therefore disingenuous to put it in a video criticizing an american series about primarily america and the effects of religion in america. by the way, religion is politics. if the distribution of power (politics) isn't affected by people who use religion to support political goals, religious figureheads who have enormous power over their followers, or hell, even run theocratic governments, and so forth, really, what is?

Also every major Christian denomination/sect allows medical procedures to be done to save the life of the mother in these situations (Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Mainline Protestantism denominations {Lutherans/Presbyterians}, and Evangelical Baptist Denominations).

      Again, Christianity has nothing to do with American nationalists, even if a large population of American nationalists are Christians. Christianity comes from the Middle East, not even one person in the Bible is white. I'm a Christian Korean and I've never even set my foot in America. Large populations of Christians are still persecuted in many countries, so associating the religion with America's politics and America's flaws to criticize it seems unfair to me. You're right, Christ talks against a lot of actions of modern Christians that the show seems to criticize about, which I even mentioned in the video. So criticizing the whole religion when the religion itself contradicts with the actions of the followers is flat-out wrong. Like I said in the video, however, the show talks beyond the actions of the followers but talks against, and even mocks the religion itself. If the Vought on Ice scene depicted any other religious figure instead of Jesus, the show wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily.

In the show, Christianity is easily replaceable with any other religion. However, it's due to the fact that Christianity has such deep root of values in American culture that it is used. Just for the simple fact alone, the show does not say that Christianity is inherently bad, but more so how people not of that Faith use it for their own evil intentions

      @@tyathedude I think you are missing the point, the show isn't condemning religion, or more accurately christianity. It is criticizing its weaponization and, as you showed with real life examples, its use in politics. The Vought on Ice scene is just another critique against how chrisitian nationalists don't respect other religions and kind of use their own as propaganda, just listen to the lyrics of the song. The whole Vought image relies on christianity, with Homelander preaching all the time, and we know Homelander isn't a true christian, they are just using it for propaganda for their own benefit and the Vought on Ice show is a clear example of how they do it. Vought uses religion to sell tickets and uses actors that show us they aren't real christians, the Bible shows to care for others but the actors in the scene just try to save themselves. I think you even agreed (correct me with I'm wrong) with the statement that the people portrayed are not true christians, and that is right, they aren't, but the show does portray real christians like Starlight or Mother's Milk that are the protagonists and "heroes" of the show, the others the show criticizes as I said are just doing it for propaganda and for political or self benefitial means. You are also right with saying that Christianity comes from the Middle East and that not a single person in the Bible is white, but we all know that even Jesus Christ has been white washed many times through history, even nowadays, the show is critizing just that and I really think you should try to see my point of view because this show isn't against you or your religion, it is against people who manipulate it and appropiate it to use it against others and benefit themselves.

    She is also such a bad and toxic girlfriend to Flynn! She always lets Cassandra or anyone else always insult him while just standing there without saying a word, keeps secrets from him, draws his face on a punching bag just for Cassandra and never even apologizes for it, travels back in time to fix his personality, ignores him on the day of hearts and rejects his proposals several times even though in the movie she wanted to give up everything just to save him at the end, are you kidding me? This seems so out of character for her! And this whole rejecting marriage plotline is just a sign that they don't fit together and such a relationship could never work in real life and we shouldn't teach kids that it could, then little girls will just expect to much and end up in a divorce later in life! This just couldn't work! No self respecting man would put up with being rejected twice or would wait years to be able to truly be together with a girl if he really wants to marry her. And it just couldn't work if one person wants to get married and the other doesn't because then one person would always have to give in and in the series Flynn always has to give in, Rapunzel never does. And this just isn't fair or healthy! What about his feelings and his wishes? Why do only her feelings and wishes matter? In a healthy love relationship, both opinions should matter! And if they have such different opinions and life goals, then it just couldn't work! And then it would be time to break up! And no man would put up with this in real life unless he is a simp but Flynn wasn't one in the movie and according to his backstory he was an egoistical jerk before he met her, so it would make no sense that he could change from an egoistical player into a simp in such a short time and it's not good that Disney is sending little girls such a message. It's no wonder that so many relationships nowadays don't work out and end in a divorce or a break up if we are teaching women that they should expect that men would always give in and ignore their own wishes and opinions while the women never give them anything in return and instead act like they don't really care about them, put their female best friends always above them, just stand there while they are bullied constantly and reject their proposals several times! And it's so unfair because if the roles were reversed everyone would agree that this is toxic but if a guy is treated like that it's ok. That's such a double standard. And Rapunzel having trauma is no excuse, because he also has trauma. He grew up alone and unloved in an orphanage and on the streets and he always treats her right. This is just unfair and toxic and it angers me that people call this the healthiest relationship in Disney when it's actually toxic and when there are other Disney couples who are very healthy but are always forgotten like Tarzan and Jane or Robin Hood and maid Marian. And people shouldn't criticize the other princess couples for marrying so early when that is just how things worked back then when the stories are set. If anything they should criticize them for getting together so fast because back then people got engaged quickly after falling in love and there is nothing wrong with being engaged, you could be engaged for months or a year before marrying and they should have just done that with Rapunzel and Flynn. And he didn't even propose after a few days but after a few months, and for this time period that's an equivalent for a few years in our time, so it was the right time and she should have said yes. And the way this scene is framed, it looks like she wanted to say yes but then thought about how her life would be then and if that seems so horrible to her then she shouldn't be with him anymore! Flynn deserves better, he deserves someone who accepts his proposal the first time and who doesn't subconsciously consider marriage to be a trap. Whoever considers marriage to be a prison shouldn't even have a relationship! And two people who have such different wishes and goals just don't fit together and this could never work! And why is marrying framed to be bad even when it's after they know each other for months but sacrificing yourself for the other even when you have only known each other for a few days framed to be alright? If you want such a modern relationship with such problems, then don't bring in a scene in the movie when both are literally willing to give up their lives for each other after having known each other just for such a short time! And if you want to show such a romantic and touching scene where two characters want to give up anything for each other because they love each other so much, then don't ruin it later with such nonsense where she literally rejects promising to stay together with him and only to love him! It seems so ridiculous that they say she wouldn't give up her freedom for him, when she was literally willing to do that for all eternity for him in the movie! It just makes no sense! It makes that whole scene of the movie unbelievable! And why does marrying him even mean she has to give up her freedom??? It only means that if you secretly want to break up or cheat! It's just a promise to only love each other and to not break up anymore! And if she truly loved him, she would want that and not see it as having to give up her freedom! And it's just not healthy that only he wants that and this just wouldn't work and he's always treated so badly and not allowed to have a different opinion! When he has another opinion than her just once, then she travels back in time to fix his personality and people are seriously calling this healthy??? I know that wasn't her intention but she seemed to be perfectly ok with it at the end and acted like it's right that his opinion was altered against his will even though he was right at first! Flynn deserves so much better! It's also cruel that they changed his personality so much and made him so stupid! I refuse to believe the Flynn in the movie and the one in the series are the same character! It's just so cruel what they did to him just because of modern feminism and because Frozen made more money! But in my opinion they completely destroyed Flynn and their relationship and i wish they never made this stupid series in the first place! The story was over, there was nothing more to tell and they just ruined the beautiful love story of the movie for me and above all sent horrible messages like marrying means giving up your freedom or that a man's opinion shouldn't matter and that he should always have to change his opinions and wishes for his girl while the girl never has to make any compromises and always gets anything she wants and is worshiped all the time by her man while she never gives him anything in return and ignores his feelings and needs because they apparently don't matter! It's just not fair! And I will never forgive them all of that and never stop hating this series and I can only still enjoy the movie if I count this as not canon!

But, personally, that's one of the reasons why I like this show. It makes her feel more human, and a lot of the issues she has are believable since she didn't grow up in an environment were she could develop social skills. It also makes some of her decisions in the series understandable, even if the audience (and characters) don't agree with them. Also, I really liked what they did with Eugene in the series.

No shit Sherlock. She doesn’t talk to Varian for like 3 episodes after dooming him to emotional trauma, god I hope she’s not a parent in the future. Varian’s off having a totally normal reaction to Rapunzel’s actions, while Rapunzel’s in her castle stressing that Varian is mad with it discussing with Varian, or even reaching out to him. Even in “the quest for Varian” she doesn’t actively interact with him or do anything, she doesn’t seek him out to make up for what’s wrong, she does nothing. And then seems victimizing herself acting like Varian became evil out of nowhere. Now Varian of course does not have an excuse for his account of Attempted regicide Treason Kidnapping Ransom Endangerment Assault Battery Etc. But he does have a normal reaction to feeling so betrayed, betrayed by Rapunzel, betrayed by Carona. A child like himself does not know how to deal with grief and feelings of betrayal, Rapunzel the “Compassionate” one who’s “good with kids” should know this, even if Varian is 14.
