It's like Disney was watching The Boys and didn't understand that the show was satirical... They seemed to think people would legitimately cheer them on if they just straight up acted like Vought.... and even then Vought at least offered a fucking check + Homelander Meet & Greet when A-Train killed Robin.

Isn't it weird that Hughey got the check for Robin's death and not her family? I mean she was just his girlfriend right? I don't think they were actually married, but whatever knowing the showrunner that was probably either a reference to the actual comic or a commentary on the whole "Women in Refrigerators" phenomenon (When a female character is killed off solely to further the story of a male character, named for a scene in a DC book where Green Lantern finds one of his super heroine colleagues chopped up and in his fridge to kick off the plot.)
