‘The Boys’ Season 4 is already delivering with a homoerotic almost blowjob moment & a hunky new queer star
*CAUTION: Spoilers ahead for The Boys Season 4, Episodes 1-3*Amazon Prime Video’s bloody and bawdy superhero drama The Boys has never been one for subtlety.
This is a show, after all, where an Aquaman-like hero has sex with an octopus, and another with Ant-Man style shrinking powers sneezes while literally inside a hookup’s urethra with explosive results.So, if the latest season—which concerns itself with the trial of an egotistical, coiffed-blond criminal who uses money and media influence to bend the rules of democracy to his will—feels a little on the nose, we shouldn’t be too surprised.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.But while Trump Homelander (Anthony Starr) continues to push his nefarious agenda, The Boys just keeps getting gayer and gayer.
So much so that certain conservative viewers have complained the show’s gone too “woke,” to which series creator Eric Kripke has made his feelings very clear: “Go watch something else.”Sure, this may be a dark comedy about super-powered egomaniacs and the equally damaged group of vigilantes (the titular “Boys”) trying to take them down, but it’s long made its disdain for the MAGA crowd loud and clear, and has always been pretty liberal when it comes to sexuality (and, sure, exploding blood and guts).For example: In a new homoerotic scene that’s already got the internet buzzing, the aforementioned a-hole Homelander is so pissed that he’s surrounded by brainless “yes men” that, to prove a point, he demands The Deep (Chase Crawford) “blow” A-Train (Jessie T.
Usher).With only a millisecond of hesitation, The Deep gets up, walks over to A-Train, and gets on his knees—wait, is this really about to happen? “Sex is just a spectrum, right bro?,” The Deep asks, staring up into his teammates eyes.Homelander calls it off before any “super-sucking” (forgive us) goes down; point proven.
