[Atenção: spoilers da terceira temporada e dos quadrinhos de The Boys abaixo]
Finally, the third season of the boysoriginal production of Amazon Prime Video based on the comics of the same name by Garth Enniscame to an end this Friday, the 8th, and showed how the series ended with one of the biggest twists in the comics.
The twist in question involves Black Noirwhich turns out to be a clone of homelander made by Vought to defeat the leader of the Seven when he went crazy for good. This shocking event takes place in the final stretch of the original comic book story.
Even something unexpected, this plot twist ended up as something anticlimactic, because it pretty much threw away the entire revenge arc of Billy Bruto, who wanted to kill homelander for being responsible for the death of his wife.
As in the series the boys on Amazon Prime Video?
in the second season of the boysthe show’s chances of adapting this twist dwindled after showing how Black Noirplayed by Nathan Mitchellis a black man – while Antony Starrinterpreter of homelander, it’s white. However, she was not completely ruled out.
In “The Instant White-Hot Wild,” eighth episode of season 3, Black Noir is a former member of the supergroup Rematch (also formed by Soldier Boyplayed by Jensen Ackles). The character ran away from Soldier Boybecause he was one of those responsible for the former teammate becoming a guinea pig for the Russians.

Furthermore, Black Noir Do you know that Soldier Boy is the father of homelander because the Vought wanted to create a stronger “superhero” with a greater bond with the company. the character of Mitchell kept it a secret and never told the leader of the Seven.
After discovering that he is the biological son of Soldier Boy, homelander interrogates Black Noir and discovers that he has always lied – and brutally murders the character who serves as a parody of Batman in the the boys.
For the series, this is a great decision by the showrunner. Eric Kripkealso responsible for adapting the work for television, because the last confrontation between Billy Gross (Karl Urban) and homelander will represent a much more interesting and exciting climax – without a major twist getting in the way.
