In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Boys Presents: Diabolical is a showcase of contemporary ideological storytelling, often sacrificing narrative depth for shock value and modern social commentary. Traditional views are mocked rather than explored, and virtually all characters share the same worldview. Not quite at the stratosphere of 'woke', but well above average.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Several episodes in Diabolical focus heavily on identity-driven storylines and satirical commentary, often prioritizing edgy social themes over coherent character development or plot realism. Many characters feel designed to represent modern ideological checkboxes rather than natural personalities, leading to forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series consistently lampoons traditional values, authority, and even the idea of family, with frequent subversion of masculinity and morality. Religion and other cultural staples are often ridiculed or ignored entirely, aligning with modern progressive values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews generally appear only as strawmen or are outright villainized. The vast majority of characters operate within an extremely modern, progressive ideological frame, with little debate, and traditional perspectives are played for laughs or critique.
