By Talk of popular genre TV in the past few weeks has been dominated by both the new “Star Wars” series “The Acolyte” and the new season of “The Boys”.
In both cases, the show’s have been subjected to a flood of negative reviews online, with the latter being targeted for not just a perceived quality drop but people seemingly upset the show has ‘suddenly’ gotten political.
In a nice bit of creative marketing, Amazon has released a new satirical Vought Industries commercial promoting ‘BROWSER from Vought’, the show’s in-universe web browser.
Colby Minifie’s Vought CEO Ashley Barrett takes us through the fake promo which has fun with various online issues in 2024 like privacy, manipulated news feeds and yes, even review bombing with all user information going straight back to Vought, Homelander and even privacy moderator The Deep.
The clip comes in the wake of the new season’s fourth episode which saw a surge in viewer votes – sitting at a 9.1/10 on IMDb as compared to the 7s the previous three episodes scored.
The season will continue popping out weekly episodes through to July 18th.
Vought is proud to usher in a new era of Internet privacy. Together with @operagxofficial, we’ve built BROWSER by Vought. What it lacks in branding creativity, it makes up for in speed and security. Download it today and you’ll be review bombing woke TV shows in no time! pic.twitter.com/AAgtZsWiTw
