The third season of the Amazon Prime Video series The Boys has brought a whole host of new thrills and big moments to fans of the franchise, and now a noble life-and-death mission has been set for Billy Butcher (Karl Urban). ) and his Boys: kill Homelander (Antony Starr), and it has to be before Homelander finally snaps and kills them all.
Now, the key to Butcher’s plan has been a lethal weapon and ace up his sleeve, as he supposedly killed iconic American superhero Soldier Boy: BCL-Red, however, when the investigation led to Russia, Butcher and The Boys found out. that history did not tell them the truth at all: Soldier Boy he wasn’t dead, but very much alive, scuppering Butcher’s entire plan.
However, in TheBoys season 3 episode 5, we found out that Butcher he just didn’t understand the nature of the weapon he was looking for, so for his plan to take effect, he must thoroughly investigate each of the items, or he will fail again, and this time there will be no more chances.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!——->>>>
We’re going to be talking about happenings and spoilers within The Boys Season 3 Episode 5, so you’re probably not ready to read this.
You see, the climax of The Boys Season 3 Episode 4 series, was when Butcher and The Boys were seen freeing Soldier Boy from a containment tube in Russia, only for the former super-soldier to literally explode from the inside out, trapping to Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) at the end, so in episode 5, “The Last Time to Look on This World of Lies”, it is confirmed that Soldier Boy’s explosion has a notable side effect: it renders Kimiko powerless.
I mean, nowhere in the episode is it hinted that Kimiko’s powers might return, but that’s beside the point, as what this latest episode seems to reveal is that BCL-Red is not a weapon that killed Soldier Boy. : Soldier Boy is BCL-Red, a living weapon created by Soviet experimentation.
So the horrific flashbacks Soldier Boy sees reveal what kind of insane torture he was exposed to, to test the limits of his durability and strength, plus the details about the explosions Soldier Boy releases suggest there is radiation involved in the blasts, which which suggests that the Russians may have used radioactive experiments to change Soldier Boy’s powers.
That’s why at the end of episode 5, Soldier Boy and Butcher strike a deal, which seems to put a target right on the back of Homelander– Soldier Boy’s power can, at the very least, render the indestructible superman powerless long enough for Butcher and The Boys to kill him (with or without his temporary V enhancements).
Of course, the real question is: Will Soldier Boy side with Butcher and be willing to use his powers against Homelander? And based on the way Soldier Boy seemed to see the modern America he finds himself in, it’s easy. seeing him lean more towards Homelander’s point of view, so he could do the opposite.
