Gaming🎮 Amazon reminds everyone that The Boys' season 4 finale is actually fiction due to, well, current events

[Royal_Lizard]

Maybe you've already watched the season 4 finale of The Boys, which is getting solid reviews so far, but if you haven't, you might be surprised by a last-minute warning issued by the show and Prime Video's official accounts after the assassination attempt of last weekend on former President of the United States and current presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Via IGN, season 4 episode 8's original title was 'Assassination Run', which is unfortunate to say the least, in spite of the series' nature and all the buildup done this season to reach the plot point. Now, Prime Video has dropped the title and shared an official statement regarding the main events depicted in the episode and the process behind it (and lack of connection to real-life events).

Of course, last weekend's attempt on Trump's life isn't the first time someone has shot at a President of the U.S. nor a plot point that hasn't been tackled by countless works of fiction, but you can never be sure, especially in the age of social media, fake outrages, and more importantly, tensions in the US reaching dangerously high levels ahead of the next presidential election.
