Warning, this article contains spoilers for The Boys Season 3!
The Boys Season 3 is over! But don’t worry, Eric Kripke’s series will be back for a fourth season, which will begin filming at the end of August, the showrunner confirmed. varietyspecifying that it will be “Probably the most emotionally challenging season ever made“.
and add:Everyone’s really dealing with their major issues in a way that’s pretty exciting, it’s going to be a very character-driven season.“The end of season 3 allows us to guess some of the problems that the characters of the series will face.
“This bitch needs to be cleaned” : This is Butcher’s (Karl Urban) reaction to Victoria Neumann’s (Claudia Dumitt) candidacy for Vice President of the United States at the end of the season. If his motivations for now working undercover with Homelander (Anthony Starr) aren’t clear yet, we know they don’t bode well, and it’s certain that the boys will try to stop the politician’s rise next. A burst of episodes.
Another character Butcher’s team will have to watch out for is Ryan (Cameron Crovett), son of Becca (Chantel VanSanten) and Homelander. Indeed, at the end of season 3, the young boy chooses his biological father over his mother’s great love, and their reunion is likely to spark.
In the final scene, the leader of the Seven introduces his son to a crowd of supporters. The moment of euphoria goes awry when one of Homelander’s opponents throws a can at Ryan, and the villain blasts himself with laser beams in retaliation. A gesture that, after a few seconds of surprise, will delight the public, who adore the super-killer.
This hilarity then strengthens the character in that he is now free to indulge his impulses without any consequences, which Ryan seems to understand as he smiles at the sight of these boisterous protesters. What can we predict for the worst future…
In this regard, Eric Kripke told Variety:If Butcher can find a way to escape and get the baby back, it might be the best weapon they have against the Homelander. But on the contrary. If Mamulender gains the child’s trust, it’s apocalyptic, because then there are two homelands.“
And to announce the color for the following episodes: “It’s like a children’s drama with apocalyptic stakes. It’s like Kramer vs. Kramer meets Avengers: Endgame. So it will be a very rich story for the future.“
Butcher will also have a limited amount of time to keep Ryan from finally turning to the dark side, as he learns in the finale that he only has 12 to 18 months left to live. Between the return of the boy and the Victoria Neumann stop, her final months are likely to be very busy!
Fortunately, Butcher’s team can count on Annie (Erin Moriarty), who quits the Seven for good at the end of Season 3 and even gives up her Starlight costume. The episode also reveals that when exposed to a lot of electricity, the superheroine can fly. A power that should help him compete with Homelander after a little training.
assured his interpreter variety About these changes:This is the costume that he has had since he was a child and his mother made him. He must throw her away and find his own identity without Woot and his mother’s influence. I don’t see him going back to work at Vought. He is done working with this corrupt, evil society and evil people. I hope she stays Annie or turns into a superhero outside of Vout.“
Unlike Annie, two members of Seven continue to work for Vought at this point, and thus Homelander took over this season after Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito) was fired: The Deep (Chace Crawford) and A-Train (Jessie T. Usher). The former has unwavering loyalty to his boss, which his translator explains to Variety:
“He saw what it was like to be kicked out and was that D-list Super Sandusky, Ohio. I think he’s too scared to go back to that place now that he’s back. His position with Homelander is still so painful that he would do anything and Homelander clearly knows this and is a manipulator who is always testing his loyalty.“
As for A-Train, he may not last long at Vought after trying to make it through the season but not being able to keep up with his brother. After Homelander’s threat, will she stay or consider joining the boys?
According to his translator, this could be another path his character is considering: “It is another field. He could join Victoria Neumann. He is also omnipotent. Ultimately, he could eliminate Homelander. He’s not really with the boys, and certainly not with Woot. He is for himself. Maybe he’ll say, “I really don’t believe in what guys are doing. I really don’t want to stay at Vought. I can work with you.’“
On the side of those who have long since abandoned Homelander, we find Maeve (Dominic McElligott), who almost stayed in the final episode of Season 3, but miraculously survived a confrontation with Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles).
However, the character should not be featured in Season 4. The writers’ choice to make Annie’s character flourish, as Eric Kripke revealed for Variety:We needed a way to get Maeve out of the transition gracefully and out of the way.
Obviously, we didn’t want to kill him off and fall into the clichés of gay and bisexual characters being killed off on TV. We wanted to do the opposite, let him go and give us a happy ending with Elena. The best way to do this was to disempower him so that he could no longer fight.
We did this because Annie can’t progress until all the characters protecting her are gone. The disappearance of his mentors and protectors was crucial to his next move. So it’s up to Annie. There was no one left but Ani. So what is he going to do?“
The screenwriter still added:I don’t think The Boys will end without Maeve showing up again…Thus, a character has to iron himself out in the series one day or another, and the same goes for the boy soldier who found Grace Mallory (Layla Robbins) snuggled up in a box at the end of the season.
“It probably isn’t going to show up anytime soon. But there is a very specific reason why we didn’t kill him. The series won’t end without Soldier Boy making another appearance” – assured Eric Kripke TVLine.
and to conclude:In order for the story to go where we need it to go, sometimes you have to put the characters aside for a moment. But just because they’re on the bench doesn’t mean they won’t be back.“We were warned!
