Who Will Starlight Kill In ‘The Boys’ Season 5?
(FOURTH SEASON SPOILERS BELOW)
The Boys‘ current season finale left loads of questions to think about earlier than the fifth and remaining season, resembling how the present is presently (and sooner or later) dealing with A-Practice’s disappearance. Different questions contain what powers Ashley may have after doubtlessly Hulking out as a consequence of taking Compound V in desperation, after which there’s the probabilities opened by Erin Moriarty‘s Annie January regaining her Starlight powers and zooming into the stratosphere whereas Hughie was hauled off by Homelander’s minions.
This adopted some episodes during which Annie felt her identification metaphorically slipping away whereas dropping stated powers, however after she needed to take her identification again from the Shifter, the ex-member of The Seven discovered her means again to herself. Because of this, Annie might be far more highly effective than her former Supe self, so presumably, she can be again with a vengeance to rescue her vigilante pals and can hopefully squish some Unhealthy Supes within the course of.
Showrunner Eric Kripke has additionally instructed followers that “a lot of dying” will floor onscreen as a result of there’s no want to provide these characters plot armor with the sequence winding down. So, who ought to Annie kill? Or maybe the higher query is who she may kill first. Gotta be Deep, proper? Chace Crawford’s character has had it coming from her since he sexually assaulted the fledgling Supe within the sequence’ first episodes, so a full circle second like her casually ripping away a couple of of his most treasured physique components (I imply gills, however what had been you pondering?) and feeding them to a shark appears becoming.
Certain, everyone who can kill somebody will wish to kill Homelander, however let Starlight have Deep. Erin Moriarty agreed when Comedian E-book requested who Annie ought to take out first: “You already know, which one, come on.” Moriarty then did, in actual fact, categorical the will to kill Homelander, however she believes that the “naked minimal” is Deep:
“[S]he’s bought to at the very least get The Deep, let me kill the fish man at the very least, naked minimal for God’s sake… But it surely must be beneath circumstances the place she’s provoked at first as a result of that’s her. She will’t simply go and kill somebody. They should assault her and it’s self protection as a result of she’s Annie, however she’s bought to get somebody and I really feel like individuals weren’t rooting for that as a lot till this previous season. However that idea of a cathartic karma. I feel we actually want it. So all the above, all of them.”
Moriarty additionally floated the potential for a Starlight-Ashley joint effort, and I do suppose that watching Ashley kill Homelander could be far more satisfying than watching Butcher do it, since that rivalry has arguably been overwhelmed into the bottom. Whereas Homelander has brought on Ashley to tear her hair out as a consequence of stress, after which he taunted her for it, so viewers would like to see him be taken down by any person who he belittled for ages and who had no energy to combat again. Till now.
Hey, possibly she’ll have super-powered hair (and even Medusa-type hair) that throttles Homelander. Eric Kripke, make it occur.
