How The Boys Season 4's New Supes In The Seven Make Homelander More Dangerous Teased By Creator
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke teases how the two new Supes joining The Seven in season 4 will make Homelander "much more dangerous."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kripke teased how season 4's new supes, Sister Sage and Firecracker, will make Homelander more dangerous:
It's such a funny power. 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. It's both commentary and satirical that you have literally the smartest person in the world that could cure all of society's ills, but she just can't get anyone to listen to her. So then she becomes a bitter misanthrope. We've always said one of Homelander's biggest problems is he's surrounded by idiots. Therefore, if you could actually bring in someone who's a tactical genius, that would make Homelander much more dangerous... It turns out, there's always crazier. Firecracker represents both members of the conspiracy-minded movements and the super extreme right-wing news media. That character has some surprising backstory that connects her to some of the characters in our world that it was just interesting to bring in one of those pistol-packing "I shot my puppies' type of characters."
More to come...
