The Boys: The Deep – Aquaman Joke went too far ?

The Deep’s storyline this season on “The Boys,” and indeed his entire storyline throughout all three seasons of the show, appears to share a common theme. The Deep has frequently been the target of jokes on the program, which are almost always delivered with great comic timing by actor Chace Crawford.

The humor on the program definitely seem to be progressing in the third season. Although it has always been implied that he has a passion for the aquatic creatures he can talk to, the subtext has now been made explicit in the text. Naturally, this is a joke that has been told for years about Aquaman, the DC superhero that The Deep is a spoof of. Even DC has recognized that Aquaman might have tampered with fish.

But one has to wonder if all of this is actually necessary. Was it funny when it wasn’t openly displayed, like in the infamous “Herogasm” episode, but merely hinted at? Although the solution is somewhat convoluted, we are pleased to explain it.

Why Aquaman joke is exhausting

Must we say anything else? Due to its juvenile nature, the original Aquaman joke was never met with ear-splitting laughter. For The Deep, nothing magically alters. He may not have always been the most nuanced or nuanced of characters, but focusing on his fetish for fish seems rather stupid. In addition, he is a pervert in other ways, which we’ll talk about in a moment.

The first episode of “The Boys'” third season featured a brief scene in which a shrinking superhero attempted to enter a main character’s butt, proving that the show isn’t exactly the most sophisticated in the world. Additionally, the scene was amusing since everyone in it played off one another.

The Deep is typically the only one included in the fish sex jokes, even leaving out his wife Cassandra. The reason the show has retained its fan base is because it functions best when it recalls that it is an ensemble piece, one that doesn’t rely primarily on one character to work. This seems to be devalued by jokes like those directed at The Deep, which devalues the program’s often fantastic satire and humor.

Why it is merited

One thing should be made very clear: The Deep is a predator. She loses hope in The Seven and in becoming a Supe in general as a result of him forcing himself on Starlight (Erin Moriarty). Whatever he claims, he has never truly expressed regret for the assault and most likely never will. I’m sorry, but it is the case.

The fact that The Deep is continually humiliated throughout the show is so enjoyable because of this repulsive deed and his lack of empathy. Consider this. He joined a cult, had his deepest sexual impulses revealed, and did everything in his power to appease Homelander (Antony Starr). He is possibly the unluckiest character in the entire production, and the reason for this is that the show wants you to keep in mind what a horrible person he is. The sexual jabs and embarrassing circumstances The Deep is involved in can easily be seen as odd karmic justice for what he did to Starlight, which will never be forgotten.

What is the next step for them?

The answer to this query is not simple. First off, it’s arguable that The Deep’s storyline on the show won’t change. He has left the Church of the Collective, returned to The Seven, and achieved his lifelong goal of being gobbled up by an octopus. What’s the point then? He shouldn’t necessary be eliminated, but perhaps he ought to play a supporting role rather than the protagonist.

But there’s no denying that Chace Crawford stands out among the bunch. Despite being a complete POS, The Deep exudes an innocent, youthful enthusiasm in each scene that is impossible to resist. This makes him a superb member of the ensemble who would be greatly missed if The Deep were to be killed off, along with his hilarious timing and direct delivery of even the most ludicrous lines.

The Deep just being phased out of the show is possibly the greatest solution for a compromise. Have him for significant scenes or character exchanges, then send him off-screen to concentrate on his marriage and self-improvement. But ultimately, he’s just a scumbag who irrevocably altered Starlight’s image of the authority Supremes possess. Maybe his agonizing death will be the last humiliating experience he has to go through in this life. Regardless of the path the writers decide to take—which we’re not completely sure will be it—we fervently hope it won’t feature fish sex.

The Boys: Erin Moriarty Teases Shocking Season 4 Storylines

Season 4 of Prime Video’s The Boys has already begun production, and the group is already teasing spectators with all of the surprises in store. Specifical

Season 4 of Prime Video’s The Boys has already begun production, and the group is already teasing spectators with all of the surprises in store. Specifically, actress Erin Moriarty, who teased something unusual on social media.

Moriarty remarked in an Instagram story, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Attached was a photo showing herself and co-stars Jack Quaid, Karen Fukuhara, Tomer Capone, and Laz Alonso gazing out of a vault-like area, similar to the one they were in during Season 3.

The Boys' Erin Moriarty Teases Shocking Season 4 Storylines

Vernon Sanders, Amazon Studios’ head of global television, previously teased the escalation of The Boys, saying before Season 3’s release, “We knew from our first conversation with Eric Kripke and the creative team about Season Three of The Boys that the show was going to get even bolder – an impressive feat given the show’s Emmy-nominated second season… The Boys keeps pushing narrative limits while simultaneously being compulsively entertaining and threading the line on social satire that seems all too true.”

Season 4 was announced before of Season 3’s broadcast, with actor Karl Urban announcing in March, “I’m filming The Boys until the end of the year.” This followed previous claims, dating back to 2021, that Prime Video had approved a fourth season.

In Season 3, Billy Butcher and Hughie used a temporary version of Compound V to take on the Vought and members of The Seven. Butcher and the Boys, desperate to bring Homelander down, searched for and awoke a dormant supe, Soldier Boy. While specifics about the new season’s narrative are scant, actor Jensen Ackles hinted that the Seven’s previous leader may not have met his end.

Season 4 of The Boys won’t be available on Prime Video for a while, but the Vought Universe has lots more in store. Prime Video is producing a spinoff series set on a supe college in addition to a second season of the anthology series The Boys Presents: Diabolical! The project, dubbed Gen-V, is the franchise’s first live-action spinoff. Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Chance Perdomo as Emma Shaw, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger as Golden Boy, Sean Patrick Thomas as Polarity, and Marco Pigossi as Doctor Edison Cardosa are among the cast members.

The Boys’ first three seasons, as well as The Boys Presents: Diabolical!, are now accessible on Prime Video.

Jensen Ackles Landing The Role On The Boys Just As Supernatural Was Ending (And Beat Movie Stars To Do It)

Jensen Ackles is no longer Dean Winchester from Supernatural, and his follow-up role as Soldier Boy on The Boys took a drastically different turn. His new

Jensen Ackles is no longer Dean Winchester from Supernatural, and his follow-up role as Soldier Boy on The Boys took a drastically different turn. His new post resulted in a Supernatural reunion, since creator Eric Kripke also oversees the Amazon Prime program. The actor has spoken openly about how he landed Soldier Boy just as Supernatural was wrapping up. It even included defeating some Hollywood stars.

Eric Kripke described how Jensen Ackles got the part of Soldier Boy in 2021, but now it’s Ackles’ turn to tell his side of the tale. In a recent interview with Men’s Health, he discussed his experience on The Boys and how he got the part of Supe. Soldier Boy was originally intended for an older actor, but when Ackles contacted Kripke to ask his thoughts on a different project, the discussion took an unexpected turn: “I said, ‘So what’s going on over there at The Boys?” We were about to finish watching Supernatural when I realized, ‘You know, I’m going to be jobless.’ I just tossed it out there playfully. ‘Look, dude, if you want to come over to The Boys, I’ll bring you over here no problem,’ he offered right away. I’d be delighted to have you.’ ‘Sign me up!’ I said.

Given that Supernatural was nearing the end of its 15-season run, it’s no surprise that Ackles leaped at the chance to join The Boys! The actor said that Kripke gave him several audition tapes and that he instantly wanted in.

However, Ackles was skeptical that he would even receive the role. While he didn’t say who since he’d be blacklisted, he did say that after hearing who was on the shortlist, he was certain he wasn’t going to get Soldier Boy: I do know that there were certain names that I believe the network was considering. A brief list of names was provided. And when [Kripke] recited a handful of those names to me, I said to myself, ‘Oh, well, there’s no way.’ I don’t stand a chance. Those people are Hollywood stars.’

Fortunately, Jensen Ackles was cast as Soldier Boy, and the rest is history. It makes me wonder who else was up for the position and who made Ackles so concerned that he wouldn’t win it. Maybe one of those actors will appear as a different hero in The Boys Season 4, when it airs?

Meanwhile, Ackles was not the only Supernatural performer to go right into a new project once the show wrapped. Jared Padalecki agreed to play the title character in the Walker revival before the last season of Supernatural had even wrapped (and prior to the COVID shutdowns). Walker launched in SPN’s timeslot the following year, and the third season is already in the works, with prequel series Walker: Independence set to debut this autumn. In addition, Ackles’ Supernatural prequel The Winchesters will air in a few months.

There isn’t much information regarding The Boys Season 4 or if Soldier Boy will return. It’s unclear if he’ll return to cause more havoc now that he’s been taken back under and frozen in the season finale. Jensen Ackles, on the other hand, has been cast as a series regular on ABC’s Big Sky.

Season 3 of The Boys is now accessible with an Amazon Prime membership, while all 15 seasons of Supernatural are available with a Netflix subscription.

In One Important Way, The Boys’ Soldier Boy Outperforms Captain America

While The Boys’ Soldier Boy seemed to be a crude parody of Marvel Comics’ Captain America, the copycat supe actually outperformed the original in one essen

While The Boys’ Soldier Boy seemed to be a crude parody of Marvel Comics’ Captain America, the copycat supe actually outperformed the original in one essential way—at least in terms of the live-action version.

Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) is a Super Soldier in the Amazon Prime Video original series The Boys who was produced via the usage of Compound V—a serum that can convert individuals into superhumans. Soldier Boy was originally only extraordinarily strong and invulnerable. However, after extensive testing in a Russian laboratory, Soldier Boy obtained the ability to take away the abilities of other superheroes with a catastrophic explosion that he can generate from inside his own body. While that powerful skill is amazing (and one that Captain America lacks), it isn’t the reason The Boys’ Soldier Boy is more impressive than Captain America. The true explanation is significantly more subtle, but immensely more helpful in combat settings.

The Avengers receive a distress call from a region of the planet that has been taken over by communist tyranny in Avengers #18 by Stan Lee and Don Heck, which was a huge matter given that this issue was published not long after the ‘Red Scare’ in the United States. Following a distress signal from a place in eastern Asia, the Avengers are met by communist officials from that region who pose as people in danger in order to deceive the Avengers into falling into their trap, all as part of their strategy to show that communism was better to capitalism. When the Avengers realize their error in taking this call, they are promptly attacked with a knockout gas that renders all of them unconscious, including Captain America.

The Boys’ Soldier Boy is Superior to Captain America in One Key Way

M.M. tosses a smoke grenade at Soldier Boy in The Boys season 3 episode 6 titled ‘Herogasm,’ but Soldier Boy picks up the grenade and inhales the deadly smoke merely for the head rush, indicating that it has absolutely no effect on him at all. Captain America’s physique isn’t as powerful as Soldier Boy’s, as seen by Cap being put unconscious by the same chemical that took out Hawkeye, who is practically just an ordinary human, in Avengers #18. Being resistant to sleeper gas during a combat is very valuable since it is generally one of the first things an adversary would attempt to employ to target a group of heroes they intend to capture. Soldier Boy can only be knocked unconscious by a fatal nerve poison, therefore if he had been in Captain America’s place in this Avengers issue, the enemies would have had no idea what struck them.

Of course, this comparison is only valid between the comic book Captain America and the live-action Soldier Boy, since Soldier Boy in the comics cannot compete with any version of Captain America. Butcher immediately kills the Soldier Boy from The Boys comics after he is repeatedly insulted and molested by Homelander. Soldier Boy in the comics is the polar opposite of Captain America in terms of strength and ferocious courage. While The Boys’ live-action Soldier Boy is similarly a dark twist on a Captain America-like figure, he is more strong than the original since his body can withstand much more torture than Marvel’s top Super Soldier.

Following that, Captain America’s Avengers training is much too grueling for the MCU.
