TIL that television program “The Boys” has an in universe cryptocurrency as a satire of, well, cryptocurrency in general but also specifically that time when DJT was selling NFTs. They occasionally tweet about it.
It has a listing on the “BSCScan” crypto tracker under the name “VTC” so someone might have actually minted it? It might surprise some of you that I have no way of telling the realness of such a thing.
Your description piqued my interest, but then I saw that this was a superhero show (black comedy, staire, but still)…
it’s not quite the usual type (which is part of what I like it). it’s from the same people who made Supernatural, if you’ve ever watched that
should also say that it’s tarantino-tier violent and “beyond” (I wouldn’t use the word excessive for it because I think the show’s stuff fits what it does extremely well, but others may (use the word))
one of the things I enjoy most about it is how fucking well it hits the nail smack in the middle of its head, even while it suffers the same curse as the Laundry series
didn’t even know s4 had started airing when I wrote this, and have caught up on some of that in between. oh wow does it have the Laundry curse, bloody hell.
The power level curse where your characters get too powerful for there to be meaningful stakes?
no, the one where reality keeps getting too fucking weird
