The Boys Announces The Deep’s New Government Position – And It’s Hilariously Spot-on

As a seasoned gamer and avid follower of pop culture, I must say that The Boys has consistently managed to keep me hooked with its brilliant satire. The recent fourth season took aim at the far-right in America, using The Seven as a reflection of the worst excesses of the American conservative movement – a move that resonated strongly with many viewers, myself included.


In “The Boys,” the series is recognized for its sharp, humorous criticism, particularly with season four intensifying its mockery of far-right extremism in America by using characters like Homelander, The Seven, and Vought as representations of extreme conservative ideologies within the nation. The character frequently subjected to jokes within The Seven is The Deep, who found himself embroiled in various misadventures during the latest season. In a clever nod to contemporary American politics, “The Boys” has leveraged recent political developments, introducing The Deep’s new role at Vought International and even drawing inspiration from potential cabinet picks by President-elect Donald Trump.

In a continuation of fleshing out the show’s universe, the Instagram account for Vought International shared an image revealing The Deep’s new position – leading a freshly established agency called the Department of Preserving Earth (DOPE). This is a nod to Trump’s announcement post-election of the “Department of Government Efficiency,” which was given to Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk. Interestingly, the department’s abbreviation, DOGE, mirrors the popular Internet meme and Musk’s cryptocurrency, Doge Coin.

In the fourth season of “The Boys,” they had no trouble being blatantly satirical, as the creators and actors believed that certain viewers might not understand that they were making fun of them. This latest jab at current events is just another instance of this. It will be intriguing to see if this theme carries over into the next season of the series; the fourth season concluded with Homelander and Vought in a powerful position, while The Deep has frequently been assigned ceremonial roles that lack significance. This new role certainly seems like another instance of this and could potentially influence season five of the show.
