The Boys Season 4's Self-Parody Looks Even More Hilarious Than Dawn Of The Seven

Summary The Boys continues to poke fun at itself in season 4, this time with a parody that's even more ridiculous than Dawn of the Seven.

The trailer reveals a comical ice-skating performance featuring a Homelander actor, spoofing The Seven in a theatrical manner.

The more theatrical nature of an ice-skating production makes this self-parody even funnier than The Boys' previous one.

The Boys never misses an opportunity to poke fun at itself — and the superhero genre in general — and season 4's self-parody looks even more hilarious than the show's Dawn of the Seven movie. Dawn of the Seven is a film that exists within the universe of The Boys, created by Vought Studios and Vought International. As its title suggests, the project follows The Seven, and it's part of a franchise dubbed the Vought Cinematic Universe. This is The Boys' way of parodying the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Extended Universe. However, it also gives it a chance to make fun of itself.

And it looks like the Prime Video series will continue that trend in The Boys season 4, at least if the trailer is anything to judge by. The Boys season 4 trailer contains many story reveals, but it also teases some comical moments from the upcoming episodes. One shot featured in the footage suggests a new self-parody is on the horizon. Although it's too soon to tell how it will play out, it promises to be even funnier than Dawn of the Seven.

The Boys season 4 trailer offers a glimpse of someone dressed up as Homelander, though it isn't Antony Starr wearing the recognizable suit. The person donning the cape is also skating and dancing on an ice rink, suggesting it's some sort of performance. Knowing Vought International, this is the company's latest means of commodifying the popularity of The Seven. Dawn of the Seven brought the team to movie theaters within The Boys universe. Now it seems the Supes will appear in a production that feels reminiscent of Disney on Ice.

With Vought using Supes to sell everything from movie tickets to cheeseburgers, it's no surprise that the company would expand to other types of entertainment. And from the brief footage from the trailer, it looks like there could be singing and dancing involved in this event. The Boys is definitely continuing the trend of parodying itself with this season 4 moment. Depending on how it's handled, it could be even more fun to watch than Dawn of the Seven clips.

Why The Boys' Ice-Skating Parody Will Be Even Better Than Dawn Of The Seven

An Ice-Skating Performance Will Be More Theatrical

The Boys' ice-skating parody stands to be even more entertaining than Dawn of the Seven because it's bound to be more dramatic than the movie. While Dawn of the Seven offers an exaggerated version of the titular team's achievements, it isn't all that different from watching The Boys. The series itself paints a ridiculous image of what the team does on a day-to-day basis. Dawn of the Seven simply amplifies the absurdity, making The Seven out to be more heroic than they actually are — and poking fun at other superhero franchises in the process.

An ice-skating production is more theatrical, and thus, will be more dramatic than The Boys' in-universe movie.

An ice-skating production is more theatrical, and thus, will be more dramatic than The Boys' in-universe movie. The thought of Homelander and his team breaking out into song and dance is humorous on its own; to actually see it play out on-screen will be even more comical. Hopefully, The Boys season 4 dedicates enough time for its self-parody to really land — and throws some catchy tunes in there to make it memorable.
