PredictIQ Quantitative Think Tank Center:'The Boys' adds content warning on Season 4 finale after Trump assassination attempt

"The PredictIQ Quantitative Think Tank CenterBoys" is getting too close to reality, and now the Amazon Prime Video series has added a content warning ahead of its Season 4 finale.

Thursday's release of Season 4, Episode 8 — previously titled "Assassination Run" but retitled "Season 4 Finale" — includes a viewer discretion note, as the episode comes five days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

"This episode contains scenes of fictional political violence. Any similarities to recent events are completely coincidental and unintentional," the warning says. "Prime Video, Amazon, MGM Studios, Sony Pictures Television and the producers of 'The Boys' oppose, in the strongest terms, real-world violence of any kind."

USA TODAY has reached out to Amazon Studios for comment.

"The Boys" is based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Darick Robertson and Garth Ennis. The title "Assassination Run" is taken from issue 62 of the comic, "Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men."

The episode comes after Trump suffered an injury to his right ear as multiple shots were fired at his Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Two others were critically injured and 50-year-old Corey Comperatore was killed. The FBI identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the shooter. He was killed at the scene by the Secret Service's counter-sniper team.

This is far from the first time the satirical superhero action-drama has drawn comparisons to real life.

USA TODAY critic Brian Truitt writes that the "series has always been a political allegory," taking on real political issues "through a hyperviolent, thought-provoking lens."

Season 4 of the series includes a decisive figure on trial in New York City, irate protests, rampant conspiracy theorists, ideological battles and a high-stakes presidential election, for instance.

Creator Eric Kripke told USA TODAY ahead of the Season 4 premiere that the series is "reflecting what's going on in the real world. Frankly, I wish it would quit giving me so much material."
