This week's episode of The Boyshas an episode titled "Here Comes a Candle To Light You To Bed". You might have thought that you were looking at MauryPovichinstead. Spoilers past this point, but in the final scene of the episode, it became clear that the Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) was actually the father of the Homelander (Antony Starr). I did.
"That's the moment of the bomb, right?" Star told Decider. "When he receives the news, he really has a bloody father. Then he has to try to patch it together, and that's what he always wants. That's it. ”
There are still some details to summarize in the finale of next season, but the pros and cons are to publish some threads laid throughout Season 3 of the Prime Video series. .. At that time, the Soldier Boy put it so badly that he "beats meat" into the cup for Voet, especially the young Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito). The Soldier Boy didn't know that at the time, but Edgar didn't need him anymore because Voat was able to harvest his genetic material well. He manipulated Payback, a team of Soldier Boys, including current Seven member Black Noir, to crush him and exchange him for the Russians. Since the Soldier Boy was out of the way, Edgar was more controllable than his descendants, (at first glance), and was able to focus solely on the laboratory-raised Homelander-named Super.
Interestingly, and certainly not by accident, this is similar to what the Homelander does in this same episode. After she died, she was a baby with her. It's scary to think about, but without knowing it, it essentially led to the birth of the Homelander himself. If the father is the father, is the child also a child?
This is also what the Homelander has been looking for for a long time. It's a family. Last season he tried to find it with his biological son Ryan (Cameron Crovetti). Now that we know we have a father, the previous hostile dynamics between the Soldier Boy and The Homelander can change dramatically. But don't expect the family to undermine the Homelander ... if anything, according to the stars, this exposure will make him stronger, and that's bad news for everyone.
"I argue that his humanity is his kryptonite," Star said. "And connecting with the family, like most people, is what he's aiming for, and I think he has a chance to achieve that this season."
If so, and will the Soldier Boy and Homelander team up at the finale? Watch out, the world.
BoysSeason 3 finale will premiere on Prime Video next Friday, July 8th.
