The Boys Season 4 recently premiered on Prime Video, and it seems like fans are loving it. I haven’t had the opportunity to watch it yet, but I will be checking it out later on tonight.
Anyway, the showrunner of the series Eric Kripke recently revealed that he was asked by Prime Video to tone down one thing in Season 4, and apparently they have to be careful with bestiality.
With all of the bonkers and insane things that this show has done over the past three seasons, the thing they asked Kripke to tone down is not what I was expecting.
Kripke has previously said that he was given free rein to include anything he wanted in the show, and while that is the case, here’s what he said:
“Funny enough, the only thing they said to me all season was – and we weren’t going to do it anyway – was ‘Can you just, maybe, not have The Deep f*cking an octopus in so many scenes?’
“Because bestiality is a real tricky line for standards. They said, ‘We’re not saying you can’t do it. We’re just saying, can you be a little more elegant in how you depict it?'”
I think it’s hilarious that they just wanted him to be a little more elegant about depicting The Deep f*cking an octopus. There’s nothing elegant about that!
Kripke goes on to tease that fans have yet to see this season’s “craziest” moment, saying:
“It’s a moment that I genuinely couldn’t believe we did. I think you might come out of it with a thousand-yard stare, you’ll just have to see it.”
So, I guess fans should get the disinfectant out and ready for their eyeballs at some point while watching the latest season! This is gonna be crazy!
Kripke previously teased that this season, “miiiiiiight be the batshit craziest thing we’ve ever done? Like I truly can’t believe we got away with it.”
In season four, “The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power.”
“Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.”
The series stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
