The Boys
Summary
The Boyscomposer Christopher Lennertz establish a detailed account of how the show ’s final episodes are set up by time of year 4 . The hit adjustment , based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson ’s comedian of the same name , recently returned to Prime Video after a two - yr col . The long - wait restoration was accompanied by the news thatThe Boysseason 5would be the show ’s last .
In an consultation withScreen Rant ’s Owen Dandoff , Lennertz gave a outspoken and reflective answer about how time of year 4 feels different compared to premature installments of the adaptation . The composer suggeststhe show ’s dismal turn may well continue , mentioning how even good guy rope like Hughie have become noticeably compromised and blemished . In the quote below , alluding toThe Boysseason 3 conclusion , Lennertz also babble out about the five - season plan of showrunner and executive producer Eric Kripke :
Yeah , it by all odds felt different , and I kind of sleep together it would . They just announced it , but I live Eric [ Kripke ’s ] hope from the beginning was that it ’d be a five - time of year show and , just think about how story works , setting up for a coming is usually different . It usually is much more murky , much more grey , much less black and white . And , while the account was n’t over , we had really whole coming to everything . We had Stormfront at the closing of time of year 2 and Soldier Boy at the last of season 3 . Our characters assert themselves in very square , very easy definable ways .
Now , all the characters have done horrible things . Even the ones we make love the most — even the 1 we ’re jolly up for . Huey , everybody . So , it ’s a small murkier . I conceive , on our end , that ’s what make it interesting and what makes it great , but judging as a frame-up for a climax that hopefully will knock everybody ’s socks off , you have to wind up for the golf shot .
It ’s not same story - wise , but my favorite Star Wars motion picture is The Empire Strikes Back . One of the cause I sleep together that so much is specifically because [ it ’s like ] , “ Wait a second , Luke did n’t inevitably follow Yoda ’s parliamentary law , ” and , “ Wait , and Han might not live . ” At the end , there ’s no laurels ceremony like there was at the death of A New Hope , and it ’s not the end of [ proceeds of the ] Jedi where you ’re partying with the Ewoks . It ’s the apparatus , and frame-up palpate otherwise .
And I think sometimes that feels like , “ Well , where ’s it go ? ” , but that ’s exactly the percentage point . And the one thing is I know Kripke enough , and I jazz Seth and Evan enough , that all of it is very much on purpose . All of it is exactly what ’s go on in Eric ’s head , and I have no doubt that I will be shocked with my jaw on the ground when I start to see the first footage of time of year 5 . I ’m look on it and I ca n’t wait to write music for it . It ’s going to blow masses ’s minds .
The Boys Might Not Be Setting Up A Triumphant Ending
Homelander’s Defeat May Be A Hollow Victory
Lennertz does n’t deal any specific detail about howThe Boysintends to wrap up . But read between the personal line of credit , the composer indicates thatthe termination may not be satisfactory for the show ’s protagonists . This has been plain to see throughout the test of the Prime Video series . Just as the piece of writing is fairly direct about its political caustic remark and criticisms of capitalism , it ’s also fairly direct about how Homelander is but a symptom of a large job .
The Boys season 3 finish with a vast battle require Butcher , Homelander , Soldier Boy , and more . Here ’s our full breakdown of this diabolical finis .
The real villain of the show is Vought , although they may be less overtly dangerous than Antony Starr ’s mentally ill supe . It is Vought that has its hands in every area of the show ’s fictional universe , to an almost comedic degree , just as it is Vought that shore up up the likes of Homelander . It may be a bitter ending for both Homelander , and the characters fight him to realize that they are only individuals that are just bigger than an amoral and insidious corporation .
The Boys is a gritty and subversive take on the superhero genre, focusing on a group of vigilantes who confront powerful superheroes abusing their abilities, exploring themes of corruption and moral ambiguity in a world where heroes are not always what they seem.
There is still time , near two full seasons , for Butcher , Hughie , and others to airt their focus and pursue a larger fight . However , based on these reflective remark from the composer of the Emmy - nominated serial publication , thecharacters ofThe Boyswill almost certainly continue down an increasingly dark path on the way to its exit .
