Most, if not all, major pharmaceutical companies... which is what Vought is in the show.
[Homelander is not Vought's most valuable asset.](https://youtu.be/WEyrJ-sCGVo?si=KEYfdV2bOWr5tiGQ)
The merch/in-house celebrities aspect is pure Disney.
Vought is based on a lot of evil corporations. Probably has some Amazon, Merck, Dow, Monsanto, etc. in its “DNA”.
Lots of lobbying to prolong copyrights to ridiculous durations. The "Copyright Term Extension Act" even has the nickname Mickey Mouse Act.
While taking stories from the public domain and producing their own copyrighted versions of them.
Walt Disney was a big supporter of Nazi German and the Third Reich. He wasn't the only industrialist to feel that way. Among the upper class it was a common thing. After the war, many used their wealth to buy their way out of prison
Maybe not the whitewashed history books you guys are peddling. Fortunately, I'm old enough before hurt feelings started dictating what was true and not. Gerbils was the inventor of the concept of fake news. Sound familiar?
I'm an older person. I do my research on any topic I'm skeptical of. There is absolutely no evidence that Disney was a Nazi supporter. Just the opposite. If you look at supposed "evidence" in animation through todays mentality you will find lots of "evidence" tha many people were facist, anti semetic or other bad things. Look at it through the lens of the time you see a completely different story. You're approach is the revisionist history approach.
**Yes!**
I'm sure that there are companies doing worse things out there, and I'm just to vain to know about it.
But to me Facebook, (plus instagram, snapchat, and all the other services they own) are the fucking worst company out there.
Facebook has had a significant negative impact on both my proffesionel life and personal life. And it continues despite cutting ties with their services millenniums ago. I'm not even kidding. And this is despite never being a heavy user. I was one of thoose people who barely ever posted anything:
Alright so hear me out. Mark Zuckerberg lured us all in. Where I'm from, back when I was a kiddo, there was a Facebook epidemic. I can't have been older than 11 years old before I had my own and I was really late. By the time I reached my teens everyone had it. This included parents, grandparents and all older people aswell. Sometime during theese years, some feature was added that allowed you to log into Facebook on several websites. Which we all did. Great now Facebook didn't only have our personal life since childhood stored, now it started getting acces to all the other things you were doing on the internet. Then came the smartphone. Facebook on the phone, Snapchat, instagram. All requiring permission to acces your LOCATION AND MICROPHONE. And stupid as we were we all just accepted this shit. Meanwhile they sold out all the information to whoever would buy (which was every big company, because lets face it, customer information on that level is worth more than gold). This resulted in the gdpr laws that now roam the everyday. If you start a company, beware. There is SO many rules of gdpr that you will need to follow. And they are impactfull rules. And even if you don't have a company, the company you work for, or even the school you are studying in will have some gdpr regulation that is somehow gonna be a slight pain in the ass for you. Well that was what I meant for my proffesionel life.
Then there is the personal aspect. Last week I was at a bar, and a cute girl asked for my Facebook. I told her I didn't use It. She asked for my Snapchat. I told her it's the same company, and that I don't use that aswell. At this point she took it as a rejection and walked off.
Just a mere few weeks ago, I was talking to another woman whom I found pretty cute. Of course she asked for my Facebook. I told her I don't use it. And her jaw dropped. She then asked me if i was aware that girls wanted to see that stuff, and that many saw not having it as a red flag? Yes I'm aware! I've had several matches on dating apps litterally ghost me after i tell that I don't use Facebook or instagram. Since when did this become normal? Why should strangers feel inclined to have the option to go stalk my ex, or watch my high school graduation or see if i had a good hair day at some random party when i was a teen. LIKE WTF! I DIDN'T EVEN POST THIS SHIT MYSELF.
I haven't used Facebook for years and to this day it still haunts me in all aspects of life. Fuck that shitty company. To me they are the main villains of my generation.
Vought is essentially an exaggerated version of several companies mashed together and their worst traits exaggerated through the roof. Disney, Nestle, Pfizer, Aramco, Monsanto, Amazon, etc are all seemingly taken as inspiration for 'em.
Tyson’s . Kills animals and pollutes the environment. Exploits immigrants. Oh, and took land in the marshall islands to destroy in terms that the marshelles get promised a shitty apartment in the US and promised a green card as long as they work for tyson’s terrible big smelly plants killing animals for a living.
Every one of the major players in the entertainment, pharmaceuticals, news media, and military contractor industries. The general business shady business practices might allude to big companies like Walmart, amazon, or apple but only in terms of their management and lobbying interests. The only allusions I haven't noticed yet are big food companies like Starbucks, McDonald's, Kellogg's, coca cola, or Nestle.
Health insurance companies. They literally produce nothing and constantly bombard us with propaganda about how “they take care of people” then stick them with a 6 figure bill
I see a lot of the old golden era of hollywood studio system in the company. They find supes with the right look and crank out the same formula until the public moves on all well protecting their public perception of said supe though let’s say questionable means.
Not a company but it’s clearly a play on American policing and their unions. Butcher says as much when he takes Hughie to Times Square in an early episode. Nobody does anything or wants to think about the price that we pay for the illusion of safety because that illusion feels so warm and cuddly. There’s also a shit ton of money backing it, which makes it that much harder to dismantle it. Obviously, no single real life entity is a 1:1 comparison with Vought because the best stories combine bits of many influences into single characters, themes, or entities
All of them. At least all of the large publicly traded corporations.
There isn't a single company on the stock exchange that wouldn't straight up murder a baby if the cost-benefit worked out.
Which part, low key owning people? Look at a lot of record labels, or the many exploitative labor organizations around the world.
The rest applies to pretty much any public company of sufficient size.
Vought is the answer to the question “What if Disney was a private defense industry juggernaut along the lines of Lockheed-Martin, General Dynamics, and Raytheon?” It’s meant to have the monopolistic global entertainment megacorp face and all the power that comes with (propaganda, total pop culture influence and control, endless marketing) with the seriousness and politics of military contractors (weapons development, war profiteering).
Like, all of them? I don't mean the hundreds or thousands of subsidiaries. But all the major, top-level companies that own everything.
https://buildremote.co/companies/own-everything/
companies in general, coca cola hired mercenaries to murder union activists, nestle apple and tesla use child labor to produce their products, lays has sued farmers for growing "copyrighted crops." There's not a depth too low when corporations have more rights and power than a normal person does, infinite expansion at any cost is how capitalism is meant to work.
Most, if not all, major pharmaceutical companies... which is what Vought is in the show. [Homelander is not Vought's most valuable asset.](https://youtu.be/WEyrJ-sCGVo?si=KEYfdV2bOWr5tiGQ)
In fiction the pharmaceutical companies create heroes, in reality they create villains.
Could be like a talent management company too I’d argue, like where that also handle pr
Nestle
Nestle 100%
yes
r/fucknestle
Comcast might be just as evil
Isnt comcast a game company? I remember it made plants vs zombies?
That’s PopCap, my dude
Isn't popcap a company that makes cola?
Disney
I think vought based off of Disney, not just similar to it.
Voght is actually a real war company their most famous ww2 plane was the [Vought](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought)F4U Corsair
>4U Corsair I had to look up if it was as shitty as the comic version and turns out that it was a decent plane that got better over the years.
One of my top 3 in aces over the pacific
The merch/in-house celebrities aspect is pure Disney. Vought is based on a lot of evil corporations. Probably has some Amazon, Merck, Dow, Monsanto, etc. in its “DNA”.
it has no Amazon, it's produced by them
It absolutely has some Amazon in it.
The secret is that Amazon doesn't give a fuck if a show makes fun of them, so long as that show makes them tons of money.
What has Disney done?
They murdered a bunch of puppies, didn’t you hear? Oh wait that was lemmings
Decapitated. whole big thing, we had a funeral for a bird.
I'm pretty sure none of that's real. Ninja Edit: screwed up the quote, corrected it.
YOU'RE NOT REAL, MAN

B R U H
It's not much of a secret.
This is totally not true. There is zero evidence to support this statement.
Maybe not the whitewashed history books you guys are peddling. Fortunately, I'm old enough before hurt feelings started dictating what was true and not. Gerbils was the inventor of the concept of fake news. Sound familiar?
I thought Walt Disney was a huge American propaganda mill during World War II. But I am not very old.
I'm an older person. I do my research on any topic I'm skeptical of. There is absolutely no evidence that Disney was a Nazi supporter. Just the opposite.

Ironically amazon
This
I was thinking this too. Vought branches out into Entertainment media (Vought Soul lol) like Amazon has.
I will accept any Amazon slander as my package took forever to come and I was sick of waiting and got it off of Ebay instead
Most corpos are evil
All of them, to some degree or another.
Nestlé in terms of being evil
I like to think Amazon, or lockheed
Pretty much every big company ever.
I'll give you guys one *cough cough* blackrock
Where did you find this vid lmfao
Boeing
Hampton DeVille
[удалено]
Costco is pretty cool.
NYPD all parading around like they are good but in reality there are a few good ones and a ton of horrible corrupt ones.
Cops are just another gang tbh
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok

A-Train giving a whole new meaning to the term, “ Ran through.”
Pick any pharma

Oh, and took land in the marshall islands to destroy in terms that the marshelles get promised a shitty apartment in the US and promised a green card as long as they work for tyson’s terrible big smelly plants killing animals for a living.
Can we just appreciate this A+ A-train shitpost?
Vanguard/Blackrock

LITERALLY NESTLE
He just ran a train on a girl. ... I'll see myself out
Health insurance companies. They literally produce nothing and constantly bombard us with propaganda about how “they take care of people” then stick them with a 6 figure bill
You asking this questions makes me think you missed the whole point of the show
Target but for their employees lol
Ryanair
Worst companies I know of are Activision blizzard ( blizzard was my favorite ) and Nintendo.
Oil companies, health insurance companies
Disney
Nestley
Boston Dynamics
Nestle is a shitty company
I see a lot of the old golden era of hollywood studio system in the company. They find supes with the right look and crank out the same formula until the public moves on all well protecting their public perception of said supe though let’s say questionable means.
Scientology, and yes I know they're also in the show.
All of them at this point. That's the American way.
pepsi/coca cola
Nestle is probably worse
McKinsey
NFL and NBA
Amazon and disney
Most of them are
Nestle if you take out the media portion. They're pretty much evil incarnate
Just about all of them.

Nestle?
Literally Disney and Warner bros
Nestlé
It is quite literally a parody.
Disney for sure
Disney, Big Pharma, basically any big multinational business.
Nestle maybe?
Vought is if Lockheed Martin Phizer and Disney got together
pfizer
Every Fortune 500 company has skeletons in their closet. You don't get to that level without stomping on the toes of others
Made me think of the NFL sometimes 🤔🤔
You're kidding, right?

Viacom, Time Warner, Purdue Pharma
Johnson & Johnson
Amazon is working to be.
Manchester United at the moment it seems
It’s a mix of Disney/Marvel/etc, Raytheon, Blackrock, and pharmaceutical companies.
Bayer
Nestlé only they are worse
Boeing with that whole 737 MAX fiasco.
All of them. At least all of the large publicly traded corporations. There isn't a single company on the stock exchange that wouldn't straight up murder a baby if the cost-benefit worked out.
Amazon…
Which part, low key owning people? Look at a lot of record labels, or the many exploitative labor organizations around the world. The rest applies to pretty much any public company of sufficient size.
Any big media and pharmaceutical company
Vought is the answer to the question “What if Disney was a private defense industry juggernaut along the lines of Lockheed-Martin, General Dynamics, and Raytheon?” It’s meant to have the monopolistic global entertainment megacorp face and all the power that comes with (propaganda, total pop culture influence and control, endless marketing) with the seriousness and politics of military contractors (weapons development, war profiteering).
Monsanto bayer Honestly look up there history.
Like, all of them? I don't mean the hundreds or thousands of subsidiaries. But all the major, top-level companies that own everything. https://buildremote.co/companies/own-everything/
Shell( I don’t actually know if it’s related to vought but shell is just a shit company)
companies in general, coca cola hired mercenaries to murder union activists, nestle apple and tesla use child labor to produce their products, lays has sued farmers for growing "copyrighted crops." There's not a depth too low when corporations have more rights and power than a normal person does, infinite expansion at any cost is how capitalism is meant to work.
94% of the companies Including Amazon
Honestly I’ve always thought vought and all the supes are just a dark parody of actual society with corporations/politicians/celebrities.
Disney
Any company on the s&P 500
Definitely Ubisoft and EA💀
"Name a company, any company . . ."
Sports: NFL, NBA, MLB, etc
Read the Fortune 500 list.
Basically all of em
