If you haven’t seen ‘The Boys‘ on Amazon, you are definitely missing out on one of the best super hero stories out there. We are talking about a satirical take on what the world of super heroes would be if many of them were jerks, basically. There is definitely a character who is like Superman in Highlander, only he is probably the most frightening pychopath in the world with scary super powers.
However, Season 3 of the show will bring us Soldier Boy and he promises to be an even bigger jerk than Homelander. For the last couple of years, we’ve seen how the show runners announced ‘Supernatural’ fan favorite Jensen Ackles to play the part. But we are only now starting to see a little bit of the personality Soldier Boy has from the comics.
Because yes, ‘The Boys’ is an actual comic book brought to streaming by producer and actor Seth Rogen. We are only days away from June 3rd’s Season 3 premiere and we literally can’t wait to see what all the fuss is about with this Soldier Boy character. In the mean time, the show’s multiple social media accounts posted a promo video of some promotional outtakes from Soldier Boy’s time.
He appears to be drunk or under the influence of something. He swears and lashes out against the production crew while filming multiple takes, only to then say cut and end the filming wihtout the director’s consent.
How much is Soldier Boy like Captain America?
If we remeber that ‘The Boys’ is a sattire from the biggest comic book characters in the world, think of Soldier Boy as the exact opposite as Captain America in terms of his personality. Powers-wise, they are also quite different. Perhaps the only similar aspects of both character is their star-spangled banner-themed outfit and the fact that both use a shield.
Only Soldier Boy wears green instead of blue like Captain America does. Forget the manners and the not swearing part as well, this super hero has a filthy potty mouth. Watch ‘The Boys’ Season 3 on Amazon starting June 3rd.
