Prime Video’s “The Boys” isn’t a show that pulls its punches. The hit television series is in fact known to be gratuitous in every regard, from its depiction of sex and violence to its timely socio-economic and political commentary. But for all the fun showrunner Eric Kripke and his staff have putting “The Boys” together, there’s also a great importance put on using the superhero narrative to capture something bigger about who we are as people and where we are as a country. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kripke said oftentimes, their writing parallels real life in eerie ways.
“Sometimes we feel like we’re Satan’s writers room,” said Kripke, addressing how the current season, revolving around a tense presidential election, may hit too close to home for some.
“When Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] and I took it out to pitch, it was 2016,” Kripke said later,...

Masashi Kishimoto is a master of many things such as storytelling, art, and creating a world captivating enough to entrance the entire world. However, one talent is enough to equal them all at one go; his ability to make some of the most mesmerizing characters. Each and every character introduced by the mangaka is unique, special, and well built in most cases.

It can be argued that some like Sakura weren’t treated as well, but most were given character arcs that can rival the bildungsroman of even the greatest protagonists in other genres and mediums as well. It takes some genius level of understanding to create such exquisite characters and that comes into play when one’s weaknesses and strengths are also laid out for them.

The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series in the world at this moment. The twisted take on the superhero genre, adapted from the comic book of the same name, became a major hit for Amazon Prime and a series that has pushed the boundaries of what can be shown on TV in more ways than one. After three successful seasons and a spin-off series, the fourth season of The Boys is coming back later this year, with the premiere scheduled for June 13, 2024. We have received a preview trailer and several posters, and today, a new proper trailer was released in preparation for the premiere. But, in preparation for the upcoming Season 4 premiere, The Hollywood Reporter sat down for a talk with showrunner Eric Kripke.

Prime Video's The Boys adaptation may be known for its extreme gore, dark humor and comic book parodies, but it's never shied away from including sociopolitical satire, and the show has arguably gained more attention for its blistering take-down of America's far right.
Showrunner Eric Kripke has always been very up-front about what - and who - the series is taking aim at, and the writing has proved to be almost prescient with its parallels to current events.
For example, the upcoming fourth season finds Homelander on trial for publicly killing a protestor in the season 3 finale, and the show returns to our screens shortly after former President Donald Trump's numerous convictions.
"It’s happened now almost every season, and we write them sometimes close to two years before they air and again we’ll find that the news is accurately reflecting whatever we’re talking about," Kripke tells THR.

The first Iron Man film led by Robert Downey Jr. in 2008 served as the launchpad for the Marvel Cinematic Universe that became a name synonymous with success. The idea of a flamboyant billionaire who built himself a suit of armor from metal scraps in a cave resonated with the audience, becoming a solid foundation for the superhero franchise that we know and adore.

The Boys is soaring back onto Amazon Prime Video next week, boldly unpacking a massive storyline that’s more timely than ever. Are we ready for another season teetering with anticipation, as the series showrunner, Eric Kripke, recently weighed in on some of the intense discussion?
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kripke responded to criticism that the show has become “woke” in its most recent seasons. Fans have criticized The Boys for having political overtones, and Kripke addressed this, particularly in light of Homelander’s similarities to former US President Donald Trump.

One of the best things about The Boys is the way the show has very high stakes yet remains deeply unserious. With so many moments ranging from the sad to the truly disturbing, the writers know exactly how to balance it all with humor and keep the viewer sitting down to watch more.
Of course, with the premise being a satire on the superhero genre, there's no way the show could have been made completely serious. But it's the attention to detail even in the throwaway jokes that makes fans so attached to the show and its characters.

Given all three seasons that The Boys has already released, the viewers have learned to expect the unexpectable when it comes to the show. Even the most insane fantasy or headcanon may turn out to be true if that benefits the narrative. That is especially true when it...

Eric Kripke had a Midas touch long before the Hollywood establishment gave him credit for it. In 2005, he created Supernatural — one of the 10 longest-running primetime dramas in history, only wrapping in 2020. But it was a cheap, genre show on an unsexy network, The CW, so even an ensuing string of doubles (Revolution, Timeless) did little to move his needle. Then, he sold an adaptation of Garth Ennis’ hard-r comic book The Boys to Amazon. In other hands, it might have been Diet Deadpool. But Kripke crafted a scathing satire of 21st century America where Homelander, the chiseled superhero in the American flag cape, is an authoritarian proxy for Donald Trump. Critics immediately took a shine, but its commercial success — the most recent season earned more eyeballs than The Rings of Power, with 106 billion minutes viewed in 2022 — made Kripke a priority at the streamer. There, he’s swiftly built out the...

Butcher had his own murderous intent against Homelander in mind. He had been searching for his wife, Becca, whom he's convinced is still alive somewhere.

The Boys Season 4 Goes Off-Canon with Two New Members of The Seven - Main Image
Prime Video is drumming up the excitement for the new season of The Boys. After Billy Butcher’s anti-Supes crew, we now have the official poster for the latest members of The Seven: Sister Sage and Firecracker.
In one of its major deviations from the source material, The Boys introduces two Supes without comic book counterparts; hence, little is known about the newbies.
Sister Sage, a former member of the young Supe group Teenage Kix, reportedly boasts of superior intelligence but is often sidelined due to her race and gender. “We wanted a Black woman who was raised in a low socioeconomic area, so no one f---ing listens to her,” shares showrunner Eric Kripke in an interview. Her other superpowers are yet to be revealed. Breakthrough star Susan Heyward from Orange is the New Black plays Sister Sage.

Scorched earth, c*nts.
The Boys returns to our screens next week, and Prime Video (via Discussing Film) has shared the first clip from the season 4 premiere.
Here, we see Billy Butcher attempt to get Ryan to leave with him during Victoria Neuman's campaign speech. The last time these two spoke, Butcher did what he felt was best for Ryan by telling him that he never wanted him, but this approach backfired by bringing the easily-manipulated young Supe closer to his father.
Butcher almost manages to convince the lad that going with him would be what his "mum would want," before Homelander arrives on the scene.
One-on-one confrontations between these mortal enemies have been kept to a minimum - in large part due to the fact that it can be hard to come up with believable reasons why Homie wouldn't just laser his head off - but here, the ruthless...

The Boys returns for its fourth season on next week, and Prime Video has now released another character poster, this time spotlighting the two latest members of the "superhero" group known as The Seven.
As you might expect, those new recruits turn out to be every bit as unhinged/amoral as pretty much every other Supe that's been part of the team, but one, in particular, might be the most dangerous of all: The smartest person in the world, Sister Sage (Susan Heyward).
"It's such a funny power," showrunner Eric Kripke said of the scheming Supe in a recent interview with EW. "A lot of superhero worlds have that character. Whereas most of them are usually really reedy white dudes, we wanted a Black woman who was raised in a low socioeconomic area, so no one f---ing listens to her.

Well, have you ever found yourself chuckling at the snarky banter between famous characters in the gaming universe? Regardless of the answer, get ready for a mash-up that’s making waves on social media! So, imagine a scene in Mortal Kombat where John Cena’s Peacemaker meets the notorious Homelander, and their shared dislike for aquatic superheroes becomes a delicious piece of their dialogue.

What do these two have in common, you might wonder? A mutual loathing for characters like Aquaman is so intense that even in the heat of battle, they can’t resist a snide comment. And with the recent viral tweet showcasing Peacemaker’s quip about “fish f*ckers” followed by Homelander’s eager agreement, it’s clear that this special feature of the game isn’t just about the fists—it’s about the wits!

The Boys— an ultimate satire on superheroes and several cultural phenomena has brought pure delight to fans with a new perspective towards the very cinematic genre. The series extended into a universe with a few spin-offs including, Gen V, the animated series The Boys: Diabolical, with The Boys: Mexico coming up.

This would definitely provide the relevance that the show needed with its narrative.

The comic book The Boys was created through the pioneering efforts of authors Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson who turned a hugely popular genre on its head with their bold satirical take on superheroes. While these characters were viewed as Gods and revered for their impeccable abilities and qualities that they used for good, The Boys dealt with equally powerful heroes who abuse these powers.

Eric Kripke had originally said that he envisioned The Boys lasting “five seasons total,” but the Prime Video series was renewed for a fifth season last month, with no indication it would be the last. Plans obviously change, and while Kripke may not know when The Boys will conclude, he does have an ending in mind for when that day comes.
“You can’t build a show that’s about these two forces of Homelander and Butcher slowly closing in on each other without bringing that to a head,” Kripke told Empire. “Whenever that last episode occurs, I know what happens.” The Boys has been a big success for Prime Video, turning into a full-on franchise with various spin-offs, including Gen V, The Boys: Diabolical, and the upcoming The Boys: Mexico. As the franchise expands, Kripke says he knows how important it is “that we don’t f***ing sell out.

The Boys arrived on Prime Video at the right time, and that has played into the show's popularity today. In 2019, when the series had just premiered, viewers were tired of too many superheroes coming at them from both Marvel and DC, not to mention The CW's own take. The irony of The Boys felt like a breath of fresh air.
The show continued its clever method of parodying the superhero genre in the best possible way. Sometimes cruel, sometimes extremely disturbing, The Boys has proven that nothing is impossible on television, as long as the audience is willing to watch. And from the looks of things, season 4 is going to up the bar yet again.

During a Twitter Q&a back in 2020, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke stated that his rough idea for the show's entire run included “five seasons total.” But the series was recently renewed for a fifth season, and the word "final" was nowhere to be seen in Prime Video's press release!
Now, Kripke has amended his original prediction.
“I have learned since then to not try to call the seasons as the person who, and this is without hyperbole, is literally the most wrong in entertainment history of how many seasons their show should go,” he tells Inverse. “Someone pointed that out to me and I was like, ‘You're right. That's ridiculous. I need to keep my mouth shut.’ And so I will.”

Every time a new season of The Boys arrives, it does so with a valid question: how can it possibly top what came last time? With each successive season, Prime Video’s satirical superhero series – in which powered-up individuals exist, and are largely monstrous people – ups the ante on its shocking scenes, gratuitous gore, and pointed political storytelling. Now, Season 4 is imminent, following the wilder-than-ever Season 3, and the debauched antics of YA spin-off Gen V – while Season 5 has already been confirmed to follow, promising more story to come in the war between Superman-alike psychopath Homelander (Antony Starr), and his human nemesis Billy Butcher (Karl Urban).
But fear not – good shows can’t last forever, and showrunner Eric Kripke has a proper ending in mind for The Boys, whenever that time arises. “You can’t build a show that’s about these two forces of Homelander and Butcher slowly closing in...

As "The Boys" season 4 approaches, it's worth remembering the events of season 3 (some are pretty hard to forget) and where the characters' arcs left off. Most of us know the gist of things: Homelander (Antony Starr) is still at large, and Butcher (Karl Urban) is still with the Boys trying to take him down. But there's about a dozen other storylines going at any given point, and even the Homelander v. Butcher thread was complicated massively in the season 3 finale.
So, two years after the last season aired, here's your guide to everything you need to remember about your favorite characters like Maeve, Annie, Hughie, Frenchie, A-Train and The Deep. We'll also go into the recent spin-off "Gen V," whose characters appear in the trailer for "The Boys" season 4 trailer, pointing to further overlapping of storylines. We know you might not have the time to do a full rewatch, so here's the next best thing.

The banners feature Billy Butcher, Hughie Campbell, Frenchie, Kimiko, Starlight/Annie, Mm and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's new character, Joe Kessler.
Does this indicate that Kessler will be joining the team? Well, we don't want to give anything away, so let's just say that his placement alongside Butcher on the poster is no accident.
"He is an old colleague of Butcher's," showrunner Kripke teased in a recent interview. "I can tell you that he shares a lot of Butcher's concern and hatred of superheroes. It really came from the notion of everyone else in The Boys is always trying to pull Butcher back. So what would happen if he started working with someone who wants to push him forward?"

Fortnite is one of the most successful live service games of all time, and the developers are doing everything to keep it that way. Epic Games is well aware of the importance of crossovers, and this rumored collaboration with The Boys could be the most controversial one yet.
The timing for this rumored crossover is quite opportune, especially when Amazon Prime Video is about to roll out the latest season later this month. Perhaps this crossover will take the form of selling cosmetic items inspired by the show to promote the upcoming season.

The Boys Creator Seemingly Hints at More Seasons, Reconsiders Five-Season Plan - Main Image
With The Boys securing a fifth season even before its Season 4 premiere, fans can’t help but wonder if there is more for the Supes in the future despite showrunner Eric Kripke’s original five-season plan.
Speaking with Inverse, he seemingly backtracks on his idea to possibly give way to more The Boys after Season 5: “I have learned since then to not try to call the seasons as the person who, and this is without hyperbole, is literally the most wrong in entertainment history of how many seasons their show should go,” he says.

Mortal Kombat 1 is the newest entry in a legacy franchise that dates back to the early 90s. Starting from gaming cabinets, the franchise is now available on every major gaming platform and has spawned a series of movies, comics, and TV shows that have further fleshed out the universe.
Created by Ed Boon and John Tobias, the franchise is now one of the longest-running fighting game series in the industry. Over the decades, the games have offered some interesting and unique twists to the player, but none can compare to the surprise hidden between the lines of code of the original Mortal Kombat.

Few superheroes inspire dread as much as Homelander. It’s not just that he is a Superman clone, making him a god amongst men within the universe of The Boys. It’s that he is very well aware of this fact and isn’t restricted by any moral code. After all, in his own words, “I’m stronger, I’m smarter, I’m better. I Am Better!”
But, just as Supes has his Kryptonite, the superhero has his failings. He is an overgrown manchild who frequently lets his emotions dictate his actions. That makes him incredibly volatile and dangerous—two qualities making him a perfect addition to the Mortal Kombat 1 roster!

When putting together an anti-superhero crew in a world full of superheroes, "The Boys" creators Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson introduced Billy Butcher -- a character almost as deplorable as the supes he fights against. Across 72 issues, Ennis and Robertson put their lead anti-hero in tense situations that rendered morally bankrupt decisions, ending in an all-knowing Billy Butcher smile.
While Karl Urban take on Billy Butcher in the Prime Video streaming series adaptation doesn't go quite as hard as the comics, the darkness of the character remains. His mission to wipe out the evil superheroes of the world continues to be a noble and understandable venture, but arguably, the ends rarely justify the means Butcher employs.

Eric Kripke’s The Boys has forever changed the superhero genre as it featured an unorthodox take that was immediately appreciated by the fans. The popularity stemmed from deviating from the original concept of how superheroes should be noble and save the day. However, Kripke defenestrates that notion as he makes the heroes become villains. As a result, the show became an instant hit and the new favorite show of the viewers.

The Boys continues with its satirical comparisons of Antony Starr’s Homelander and former President Donald J. Trump. The fictional corporation Vought International shared a sneak peek of Homelander’s trial from Season 4 almost immediately after Trump was convicted on 34 felony charges in New York. The captions also make fun of the guilty verdict as it suggests that Homelander has been found guilty.

5 Reasons Why Superman Would Beat Homelander - Main Image
If the Man of Steel were up against The Boys' most notorious antagonist, the world would be in chaos. The question is, who would win?
In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Antony Starr gave plenty of reasons why Homelander would beat Superman in a 1v1. But we beg to differ. While Homelander is a killing machine, we doubt he would stand a chance against the mighty Superman.
This article explains why the DC superhero would obliterate Dynamite Entertainment’s beloved villain.
Superior Powers and Abilities
While Homelander is insanely powerful and possesses many abilities, he’s below Superman in terms of potential. Superman is faster, stronger, and more resilient.
The character of Homelander was inspired by Superman, which is why you can draw parallels between them. However, Homelander is still much weaker than Superman in terms of sheer strength and abilities.

Antony Starr has made a major impact as the psychotic Supe known as Homelander over three seasons of Prime Video's The Boys adaptation, but is there a chance he might suit-up as a more conventional superhero at some point?
A recent rumor claimed that the title role in the planned Max Booster Gold series has already been cast, and when fans noticed that Starr and DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn had started following each other on Instagram, speculation mounted that the Aussie actor may have been cast as Michael Jon Carter.
Why that particular character and not another Dcu role? Well, Booster is blonde, and Starr... plays a blonde guy on The Boys.
At any rate, it doesn't sound like the social media sleuths have landed on something here - not that Starr would confirm if they had!
"Me and James just play golf," Starr told ComicBook.com when asked about the rumors.
