Amazon renamed the final episode of The Boys because of the events at Donald Trump's rally
Amazon has released a statement emphasising that the TV series 'The Goonies' is not an endorsement of real-world violence, following the recent shooting at a Donald Trump rally.
Here's What We Know
The Season 4 finale, originally titled "Assassination Run," has been renamed "Season 4 Finale" and now begins with a warning that the episode contains scenes of fictional political violence whose resemblance to real-life events is coincidental.
The series The Boys is known for its analogies to real-life political figures and Amazon's decision to insist that these parallels are coincidental is questionable. The company is keen to avoid becoming embroiled in the political drama surrounding the US presidential election and being accused of inciting violence. Amazon doesn't want one of its most popular shows to become embroiled in current political events, so it wants to protect itself in advance.
