Fan theories are quite common these days, even those considered too outrageous to be true. The Boys is no exception, particularly when it comes to Homelander. This time, the topic is a bit touchy, given everything that’s happened over the seasons.

The Boys Season 4’s finale has pulled off some insane twists that may prove instrumental in the Amazon Prime series’ final season. Despite garnering a mixed reception for its slow pacing and political undercurrent, the finale has established some key players for the impending endgame.
Billy Butcher was one of the characters who did not seem to be in excellent shape for most of Season 4. However, after that surprising finale, it looks like he and another character will be instrumental in bringing Homelander down.

The Boys: Black Noir’s Narcolepsy was Inspired by the Actor’s Real-Life Condition - Main Image
Homelander may have murdered Black Noir, but his replacement in the fourth season of The Boys has his own quirks.
The previous episode revealed that Noir II is narcoleptic and can suddenly fall asleep, and as it turns out, this was something they got from actor Nathan Mitchell.

Though he may be a replacement, the new Black Noir of The Seven is given his arc for the fourth season, and it’s revealed that he’s still a supe—but one that’s specially trained in acting. Besides all the usual invulnerability powers, Noir II also has the ability to fly.

It’s been a good four-season run of The Boys and many fans enjoyed the show since it served as the antidote to the so-called “superhero fatigue.” However, some of the viewers have noticed a decline in the quality of the show, especially with Antony Starr’s Homelander.

Rebel Wilson’s The Deb will close the Toronto Film Festival on September 15 after all. This is after the actress claimed on social media that the pic’s EPs blocked her feature directorial debut from making its world premiere as the closing-night title at TIFF.
Meanwhile, David Gordon Green’s Nutcrackers with Ben Stiller is set to open the fest on September 5. Both films will be making their world premiere.
Wilson on July 10 took to social to bash her backers for getting in the way of her feature musical’s debut at TIFF, saying for them to “turn around and say that no, the movie can’t premiere, is just beyond devastating.”
She claimed in her post that the business partners Amanda Ghost and Gregory Cameron had “bad behavior.”

Nutcrackers, David Gordon Green’s heartfelt comedy starring Ben Stiller, is set to open the 2024 Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 5.
The TIFF opener — marking Stiller’s first starring role in a movie since Mike White’s Brad’s Status and Noah Baumbach’s Netflix family drama The Meyerowitz Stories in 2017 — will have a world premiere at Roy Thomson Hall, which is filled with ordinary moviegoers (and not only industry people as in Cannes and Venice).
Written by Leland Douglas, Nutcrackers follows Mike (Stiller), a straight-laced workaholic who has to travel to rural Ohio to care for his four nephews after their parents die in a car accident. After weeks of farm-life mayhem, Mike realizes he won’t have to find a new home for the orphaned children. They found a new home for him.

Last week’s episode of The Boys Season 4 was centered around a party at Tek Knight’s mansion where Homelander, Sister Sage, and Victoria Neuman were supposed to convince the bureaucrats and politicians to turn the United States of America into a Supe-controlled fascist country. Hughie impersonated Webweaver and was nearly gutted by Tek Knight. Mm, along with Kimiko and Annie, came to his rescue. Mm shot Sister Sage in the head and suffered a panic attack. He was saved by A-Train, who delivered Mm to the nearest hospital. He experienced his first “superhero” moment when a child saw A-Train helping someone. Sage’s brain recovered from the injury, but it decreased her intelligence for quite a while, thereby forcing Neuman to step up and convince the aforementioned bureaucrats and politicians. Firecracker took advantage of Sage’s misstep and became Homelander’s most trusted aide by spraying some breast milk on his face.

When it comes to characters being thrown around like rag dolls, The Boys takes the task to the next level. It is the extreme, satirical depiction of some of the most overlooked commentaries of the world, shown through superhero culture. In the center of it all stands Erin Moriarty’s Starlight. Throughout the series, she has gone from being a protagonistic character to someone who gets a bittersweet response from the audience.

It hasn’t skipped the fans’ attention how the treatment of her character is starkly similar to one of the most famous animes. While she may be able to hold her ground and stand up for herself, the constant disregard of her other characters is unfortunately the same experience fans found with Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto.

The Boys, as a series, has a tendency to leave their audiences stunned by what they see. While fans have become quite desensitized to the bloodshed now, with the fourth season airing out everyone’s dirty laundry, the first season was a different story altogether. It cleverly set up everything that the viewers could expect from the show.

As soon as A-Train walked through Robin, the show set up its theme and let fans know what they could expect from the series.

For most fans of "The Boys," the moment that got them on board was that early scene in the pilot, the one where Hughie's lovely girlfriend Robin (Jess Salgueiro) suddenly explodes when A-Train accidentally runs into ... err ... through her. It's a moment that made clear that this is a show with few limits, where seemingly anyone can die at any moment, often in the goriest way possible.
For showrunner Eric Kripke, however, the moment that solidified the series for him came in the fourth episode, "The Female of the Species." That's the episode where Homelander and Maeve rescue a passenger plane that's been hijacked by terrorists, only for Homelander's eye lasers to accidentally destroy the cockpit and guarantee the plane will crash. If Superman was here, he would've found some way to stop the plane; Homelander doesn't even try.

The fourth season of The Boys has really put Billy Butcher in his most miserable state yet. With his team sidelining him, troubles with Ryan, and his own deteriorating physical condition, Butcher has found himself helpless and cornered in more ways than one. The only assistance he can count upon is from his old war buddy, Joe Kessler, a CIA agent who made his first appearance in the first episode of the ongoing season. As Billy continues to find himself in a moral dilemma while trying to change his old Machiavellian ways, good old Joe always provides him with the best counsel – putting his trust in Billy and reminding him that what needs to be done might not be the ideal way of doing things. However, Joe’s sudden return to Butcher’s life might be connected with something more tragic, which highlights concerning aspects of his mental condition.

2023 was a rough year for superhero movies. Both Marvel Studios and Warner Bros.' Dceu struggled to deliver movies which resonated with fans and filmgoers, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods failed to take flight when it opened last March.
Reviews were split rather than outright negative, but the movie still only grossed $134 million worldwide. It came as a shock after the success of 2019's Shazam!, and the character's future is now uncertain with DC Studios set to reboot the Dcu beginning with 2025's Superman.

Murray’s career spanned more than three decades in the advertising, publishing, and TV industries. A plethora of friends and industry colleagues have paid their respects since Murray died, April 6.
A career in media started at Zenith/Saatchi & Saatchi in the late 1980s, which saw Murray working on Zenith’s influential advertising forecasts, which were an industry benchmark for many years. He subsequently took managerial roles in the research departments of Kagan World Media and then Baskerville Communications, which published several newsletters focused on the global TV business. This was pre-internet and the TV reports and news publications were hard copy and subscription based.

Review: Founded in 1934, the Hammer film production company became very popular when it started releasing horror films in the mid-1950s. From that point through the early ‘70s, Hammer was one of the biggest names in horror… but then they found it hard to compete with the big horror films of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, and things gradually fell apart for them. In 1979, the company went into liquidation. Attempts to revive the Hammer brand began in 2008, and we’ve seen some notable releases from the company in recent years: Let Me In, The Resident, The Woman in Black, and The Lodge among them.

After going through a rather predictable narrative structure of Vought International cover-ups, Gen V finally enters the political intrigue between humans and supers in the seventh episode titled Sick, and the excitement of series fans is surely going to be sky high. No sooner had the cerebral trip inside Cate’s mind ended in the previous episode, than the viewers were introduced to the Supes crisis from a new perspective, one that can easily reshape The Boys universe itself.
As a spin-off series, Gen V is closely interconnected with The Boys, a connection which was explored over the course of six episodes. But the most significant link between the two series has been established with the penultimate episode, with Indira Shetty’s backstory and Congresswoman Victoria Neuman’s possible role, which not only puts Vought in a critical juncture but also has the potential to destabilize the political system of The Boys universe.

In the world of Prime Video’s The Boys, superheroes – or supes as they’re not-so-affectionately called – are a part of normal, everyday life. But these supes aren’t naturally born, they’re created by Vought Industry’s Compound V serum. Even though Vought does their best to control who does and does not become a supe, they don’t have control over how abilities manifest in people who take Compound V.
This leads to a wide variety of powers among the supes on the show, including those in the prestigious superhero group known as The Seven. With so many superpowered characters appearing in both large and small roles throughout the series, it can be hard to keep track of what exactly everyone can do. Here is a handy guide breaking down the powers of The Seven,...

This article contains spoilers for Gen V.
The Boys’ universe has become well-known for shocking deaths, bloody explosions, and corrupt superheroes. While the spinoff series Gen V has all of those things, and more, it also has an effortless queerness to it that The Boys has been lacking.
This isn’t to say that Queen Maeve’s (Dominique McElligott) arc in The Boys is terrible queer representation. It makes sense that she would have felt forced to hide who she was to keep her place in The Seven only for Vought to force her to come out to make themselves look progressive later on. Every part of Maeve’s identity is something for Vought to exploit, which The Boys does a great job of making abundantly clear.
But that’s what makes Gen V so refreshing in comparison. Queerness is just a normal part of life at God U and...

Every part of Maeve’s identity is something for Vought to exploit, which The Boys does a great job of making abundantly clear.
But that’s what makes Gen V so refreshing in comparison. Queerness is just a normal part of life at God U and...

This article contains spoilers for Gen V and The Boys.
The Boys spinoff Gen V has done an incredible job thus far of expanding this supe-filled world while still maintaining a close connection to its predecessor. From character cameos to updates on current events, there are plenty of Easter eggs woven into Gen V’s story that give us hints into where The Boys could go in season 4.
Set between seasons 3 and 4 of The Boys, the youth of Gen V, as well as the entire world, have recently seen Homelander (Antony Starr) murder a civilian protester in cold blood. According to a brief news report, Homelander is actually on trial for this crime, though Vought appears to be fighting this with all they have. In a YouTube video on the Vought International channel, Vought CEO Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie) tries to spin the attack as Homelander trying to defend his...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from the fourth and final season of “Sex Education.”
When “Sex Education” premiered in 2019, it followed a timid teenager with progressive ideals, trying to lead the student body of his repressive high school to sexual liberation. By 2023, when Netflix released the fourth and final season, all of that had changed.
Moordale Secondary School shuts down at the end of Season 3, so Season 4 takes place in a whole new world. Most of our characters end up at Cavendish College, which is Moordale’s complete opposite. It’s a “student-led” campus where the kids make all the decisions. The queer kids are the cool ones, and anyone trying to attain it-girl status with meanness and exclusivity ends up at the bottom of the social pyramid.
It’s paradise for Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), who instantly fits in with the popular crowd. He’s surrounded by other queer people for the first time,...

Time was that in a romantic comedy, the leads always ended up together.
That’s changed over time as audience and narrative priorities shift, and as television dove deeper into the rom-com game along with film, finding ways to unite, separate, and permute every pairing while filling out hours and hours of story. A lot of sitcoms spin that into classic TV romance; Ross and Rachel, Cory and Topanga, Jess and Nick. In recent years, the trend has skewed toward getting a couple together and keeping them together; Jake and Amy, David and Patrick, Janine and Gregory.
And then there is the Secret Third Thing, the rare and difficult move where a show pairs its lead character or characters off with someone who wasn’t the original plan. Sometimes there are outside factors (“Cheers” comes to mind), while other times it’s simply a more desirable story development.

The final moments of Sex Education saw the show’s core characters rally behind one of their own and begin their paths into the next chapter of their lives.
In the series finale of the Netflix series, the students at Cavendish Sixth Form College discover their classmate Cal (Dua Saleh) has gone missing, and they join forces to find their friend and bring them home safely. When Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling) find Cal, they realize they’ve been neglecting their friend who has been struggling with body dysmorphia amid their transition because they can’t afford top surgery.
Instead of raising money for the soup kitchen run by Eric’s church, which does not want money from LGBTQ students, the school decides to donate the money from the fundraiser to Cal so they can complete their transition.

The influx of superhero-oriented content in pop culture media, especially some of the mediocre ones, has definitely contributed to the ever-increasing popularity of Amazon Prime’s edgy, satirical take on superhero media, The Boys. While poking fun at other franchises by making tongue-in-cheek references, individual performances from the likes of Antony Starr, Karl Urban, and Jack Quaid, hilarious self-awareness, and abundant use of sensationalism with sex and gore might have worked wonders for the series’ reception, to make the franchise overstay its welcome, franchise biz was always needed. Perhaps it was the reason why the makers decided to release a gorier animated series called The Boys Presents: Diabolical last year. And for 2023, they have expanded the canvas further and come up with a live-action spin-off called Gen V. It’s kind of ironic how gradually the franchise is becoming the very thing it used to satirize.

Watch out! This article contains spoilers for "Sex Education" seasons three and four.
Going into "Sex Education" season four, I definitely thought Ruby (Mimi Keene) and Otis (Asa Butterfield) would end up together. Maeve (Emma Mackey) and Otis were always wrong for each other - his obsession with her always felt a little too close to idealization, and their chemistry was also never actually so great; it always felt to me like they were too different from each other to really work, and the scenes where they finally did get together just felt awkward to watch.
Meanwhile, Ruby and Otis's relationship was one of the sweetest parts of season three. He seemed to help her relax and open up, while she helped him get himself together and strive for greatness. They just seemed to work, and like many other fans, my heart broke when Otis rejected Ruby the minute Maeve became an option.

“Sex Education” is saying goodbye, with the fourth and final season dropping on Netflix last week.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, director Alyssa McClelland discussed her contributions to the swan-song season, and why she feels the series finale will satisfy the show’s fans.
“It’s the theme of showing people that an ending is Ok, and that actually an ending in a lot of ways will lead to a new beginning. It’s about sitting in the ending and feeling it, not running away from it. I remember being younger and thinking an ending was world-ending; any ending just felt a lot more intense. Then, as you get older, and you’ve had a few more endings in different forms, you get a bit more hardened to them,” McClelland said.

In its fourth and final season, Netflix’s Sex Education gets a makeover. Sex therapist sidekick Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) tries on a glittered kilt. “It girl” Ruby (Mimi Keene) dons a pride pin. And Cavendish College’s queen bee Abbi (Anthony Lexa) puts on a quilted coat while her partner Roman (Felix Mufti) sports a fresh set of acrylic nails.
With Moordale Secondary School closed for good, the sexually agitated students start at Cavendish College, a student-run, queer-centric, prismatic-colored school that promotes a gossip-free environment with yoga breaks and gender-neutral facilities.

Sex Education‘s protagonist, Otis Milburn has always been a red flag. Not only in terms of love but in friendship too. Let me explain. The first thing we need to acknowledge is the fact that Otis is played by child actor Asa Butterfield, who has been a megastar ever since his young self played Bruno in 2008 drama film, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. We don’t know if it is just a simple coincidence that Asa looks like an innocent fellow or if he was just the best guy to cast for the role of Otis (although he does a very convincing job). But this makes us especially inclined to like the character, no matter what he does. He’s always the good guy, you know? Plus, what teenager doesn’t make stupid mistakes? Wrong!

“Sex Education” reached a climax with Maeve and Otis sleeping together after four long seasons and 32 episodes of back and forth between the two school sex clinic operators.
Season 4 doesn’t make it easy for Maeve and Otis to finally date and connect. Maeve has just gone to America for an English class taught at a prestigious university by Professor Thomas Molloy (Dan Levy). Otis and Moordale Secondary company have their own challenges to navigate because a majority of them transferred to Cavendish College after the shuttering of Moordale Secondary School at the end of last season. Intimacy coordinator David Thackerary, who has been involved with the show form Season 2 onwards, described the build-up to such an important scene involving one of the show’s most beloved “ships” in an interview with TheWrap.

Oftentimes, shows with multiple seasons get overburdened by the pressure of keeping up with their audiences while still upholding the integrity of their old characters. There’s a sense of being all over the place when they end up trying too hard to incorporate everything that’s a trending topic. This is especially common when it comes to portraying teenagers on television. All we need is a happy ending for our favorite characters, and that’s enough to make these shows work. Instead, they get mixed up in subplots that include time travel, fantasy, and a lot of random things that are unrelated to the main subject of the series. Sex Education season 4 does feel a little overwhelming with all the many topics it wants to touch upon in 8 small episodes, but at the end of the day, it delivers a clear message to anyone who needs to hear it.

At the end of Sex Education‘s penultimate episode, Maeve decided to go back to America to pursue her writing career. As a result of her tough decision, Otis claimed he’d feel like he was holding her back if the two of them stayed together. Since Maeve wasn’t sure whether she’d come back to England or not, they decided to call it quits because ultimately, the long distance would be too hard to navigate long-term.
They did, however, exchange “I love yous” and finally — finally! — had sex in Otis’ bedroom.

‘Sex Education’ Season 4 Episode 7 Recap & Ending, Explained: Did Maeve Make A Decision For Herself?
The last few episodes of Season 4 remind us why watching Sex Education itself feels like therapy. No matter your sexual identity, gender, or race, feelings are felt, and the show tries to reach out to as many people as possible. Episode 7 of Sex Education is dedicated to everyone getting better at being themselves. To push for what is right for themselves. Maeve finally reaches her catharsis, Jean and Joanna have a tussle, and Otis is coming to realize just everything he’s messed up. Some difficult decisions must be made, and that means huge changes for the future (even if we don’t get to see them Tt).

We never thought the words “cried” during Sex Education would come out of us, but here we are. Episode 6 of the teen drama is heartbreaking, as Maeve has to say goodbye to her mother. Otis is overwhelmed with a lot of feelings, and although he’s able to help strangers or acquaintances, he can’t seem to do the same for himself, his friends, or his family. With only two episodes remaining, a lot of drama is about to go down, and we’re hoping it’s all for the best. All we want is for everyone at Moordale to be happy. Until Otis and Jean are able to talk to each other and sort out their own mess, they’re going to struggle to get better themselves. It’s really amazing how much detail the show puts in, and hearing George Michael’s “Faith” when Eric is struggling with...

Phew! Episode 5 of Season 4 of Sex Education has us in a daze. Teenagers are always a mess, as Otis says, and this episode is too. Not to say that it isn’t a good episode, but it covers a lot of second-hand embarrassment. We’re finally seeing more of Otis and Maeve, but it isn’t in the satisfying, “we were waiting for the moment they got together” kind of way but rather, “Oh well, this doesn’t seem to be working out so well for them” kind of way. Because Maeve has so much going on for herself, Otis hasn’t had the chance to tell her about Ruby, and it’s been gnawing at his brain for a little bit. Will Otis make a mess of things, or is it because Maeve is just completely out of sorts? They’ll get over this obstacle, too.

Saying goodbye to a show like Sex Education is never easy.
Many teen dramas take the easy way out, with all of the couples finding happiness as they navigate life post-high school.
Sex Education Season 4 Episode 8 took a more realistic approach by repairing the friendships that buckled under the pressure of the issues everyone faced throughout the final season.
That wasn't an easy task by any stretch of the imagination.
Sex Education has always dealt with a massive cast, probably why the episodes have always been stuffed with content.
The series rarely wasted a scene, and it went out on a bittersweet note, leaving us to ponder what will become of everyone.
Maeve's letter to Otis seemed very final, which leads me to believe there's a high chance they won't cross paths again, which is a difficult pill to swallow.
Dear Otis. You know I hate soppy romantic stuff.

“Sex Education” Season 4 has arrived.
It’s been two years since Season 3 landed on Netflix and a lot happened last installment, especially within the crumbling walls of Moordale Secondary School. Jemima Kirke’s quirky headmistress Hope Haddon did her best to glue the cracked foundation of the school — left behind by Mr. Groff (Alistair Petrie) — but she couldn’t stop the demise of the doomed school with her attempts to smother any freedom of expression. Thus, all of the beloved students, most of whom were clients of Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey) and Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) who ran a sex clinic together, had to transfer schools. We’ll let Season 4 speak for itself as to the fate of the Moordale students as well as other characters in the show.
