"Two Homelanders is Something You Just Cannot Mate"
In season 4 of The Boys, series producer Eric Kripke hints at a dark road Ryan, Homelander's son, may travel. In the season 3 ending of The Boys, Antony Starr's megalomaniacal Supe brought his son into the world. Now the two live together in Vought Tower. After years of hiding his origins from his young successor, Homelander is resolved to share the expected benefits of his wisdom and distorted perspective.
Speaking with Variety in honor of The Boys' Season 4 debut, Kripke discussed why the creative team of the show wanted to center Homelander and Ryan's domestic lives and what the young Supe has ahead. The show's crew wanted to see what Homelander would be like as a parent figure, and the underlying risk is Ryan would internalize his father's lessons and maybe follow in his footsteps. His full remarks are below:
Will Ryan prove to be the real secret to overcoming Homelander?
The Boys season 4 episode 1 clarified that the biological weapon was still too weak to threaten Homelander personally, even if Victoria Neuman now has access to the Supe-killing virus introduced in the 2023 spinoff series Gen V. Ryan might very well be the one actual weapon able to surpass his father, even while more research and development of the Supe virus could provide Butcher the advantage he is seeking for in his continuous fight.
While Ryan might wind up being the only genuine weapon able to kill his father, further research and development of the Supe virus could provide Butcher the advantage he's been looking for in his unrelenting crusade.
The Brothers
Eric Kripke created The Boys as a superhero/dark comic book satire series using the same-named comic book line. The show is set in a "what-if" universe honoring superheroes as gods or celebrities with little repercussions for their actions. One squad of vigilantes under the guidance of a vengeance-obsessed man named Billy Butcher will fight back against these super-charged "heroes," therefore exposing them for what they are.
Audiences have loved the presentation because of its caustic humor and bold narrative approach. The Boys has also won praise from critics. One of the key reasons the show is so popular is its ability to deftly address ideas of corruption, power, and the human condition.
Eric Kripke's Ryan's Future in The Boys Season 4 Teased "Two Homelanders Is Something You Just Cannot Beat"
Showrunner for The Boys Eric Kripke hints on Ryan's destiny in season 4 that Homelander's son might follow in his father's footsteps. Drawing on The Boys season 3 finale, Antony Starr's megalomaniacal Supe introduces his son to the world in season 4.
Speaking with Variety in honor of The Boys' season 4 debut, Kripke has clarified the choice to center Homelander and Ryan's domestic lives as well as the future for the young Supe. Underlying the suggestion that the creative team of the show truly intended to know what Homelander would be like as a parental figure, Ryan would start to absorb his father's teachings and maybe follow in his footsteps. Check out his remarks below:
Looking at the Future of the Show
Furthermore, because Kripke lately confirmed that the fifth season of The Boys will wind up Prime Video's successful show, that last confrontation most certainly is right around the corner. Slowly turning Ryan into a Supe with either identical, or perhaps superior powers to Homelander, Kripke's indication that the future of the show would depend on an internal struggle for Ryan's mind and loyalties guarantees the program delivers a memorable and appropriate ending.
Prime Video has the boys streaming.
Ryan's path
Ryan and Homelander have never truly been seen together, alone for protracted lengths of time. And we wanted to know what homelander would be like as a father; clearly, the answer is terrible. He is an absolutely horrible father. Ryan might also start listening to his dad and straying into the dark side and listening to these terrible lessons Homelander is always imparting him and maybe luring him with power. And should Ryan follow that path, that is disastrous. You just cannot beat two homelanders. So Ryan was living in the suspense of, is he likely to break bad?
