Herogasm

The Boys adapts its “Herogasm” storyline with all the sexual depravity you'd expect, but does well to honor character evolutions over excessive graphicness ...

Other highlights of this excellent episode include Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) outright fleeing from Soldier Boy because he's seen the bastard in action to Starlight's bombshell social media confession. Jensen Ackles is chewing his way through fast-food cheeseburgers as the perfect antithesis to Starr's braggadocious and full-of-himself Vought superchild, remorseless like a heat-seeking missile of vengeance with only hatred in his heart. Hope comes in the form of Butcher, Hughie, and Soldier Boy striking fear into Homelander, who has no answer. The return of Love Sausage allows the seriousness to dissipate as Kripke introduces TNT Twins Tommy (Jack Doolan) and Tess (Kristin Booth), sleazy Payback members who host Herogasm for C-level supes with superpowered fetishes. Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Starlight (Erin Moriarty) confront their relationship after Hughie confesses his power trippage on V24. A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) butts heads with Blue Hawk (Nick Wechsler) after the latter handicaps his brother in a racist outburst. Of course, "Herogasm" is about superhero fornication as pyros walk around with flaming dongs and ice conjurers manifest icy sex toys.

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for The Boys Season 3 Episode 6, “Herogasm.”] Has there ever been an episode of The Boys as hotly ...

While they argue, Soldier Boy finds the twins — who are arguing about a camera in the toilet — and as they swear they didn’t know about him being turned over to Russia, a particular song comes on the party playlist. In the end, Soldier Boy almost kills Homelander… but the mad supe breaks free at the last second and soars away. She kills both of the men, but she sustains serious injuries without her powers and Nina gets away. In safety on a forested road, they have a huge argument about Hughie’s reliance on V and whether Annie always needs to be the “strong” one. He, Soldier Boy, Butcher, and Hughie have a nasty brawl that nearly kills all of them at some point; walls are broken, necks are nearly snapped, and laser eyes burn. Blue Hawk doesn’t listen, having already decided that Homelander was right when he said Soldier Boy wasn’t back and the attack in New York was nothing to worry about. (From the moment he was sent to Herogasm, I predicted he’d end up doing something nasty with a fish.) Annie and MM appear next, and she tries to warn Blue Hawk of the incoming danger. Back inside the house, MM comes face to face with the man who killed his grandfather… But in a TV landscape where Game of Thrones and Westworld exist (remember that Season 1 orgy?), I wouldn’t say nothing like Herogasm has ever aired before. Annie has a tense meeting with Neuman ( Claudia Doumit), who knows that Hughie knows she’s a supe. So, to the orgy they go. The gist of the story is that three groups are all going after “the twins” in Payback, who are hosting the “Herogasm” orgy at their home.

The Herogasm is here. The Boys fans have been wondering how in the world the show would bring that infamous comic storyline to fruition on TV.

In fact, the Herogasm action happens mostly in the background with supes and sex workers doing all sorts of things. There is mention of sex workers having things done to them that are quite unsavory (to say the least), so Herogasm is still very icky. And a Herogasm event is a no good, very bad thing. The producers on set held their breath mostly because of the smell.” And then we added in all our Boys madness with hovering vibrators and icy dildos and all of the craziness that we do.” The Boys: Herogasm is the fifth volume of the comic series. It triggers Soldier Boy’s powers, causing him to kill the twins and completely destroy the house along with seriously injuring some people. The twins are now the hosts of Herogasm, a Vermont sex orgy event started by Soldier Boy. Everyone arrives on their own missions in different little teams and they are all pretty shocked at the scene. And it ends with Homelander trying to form a coupe to take over the world. A few things that happen there include Soldier Boy (who is more Hughie-like in terms of personality) having sex with Homelander in hopes of joining the Seven and Payback swooping in to take out the Boys. Homelander also kills a plane full of people just because he can (which we’ve seen in a different form previously) and Noir sexually assaults Hughie. There’s ample sexual acts, hence the name. In fact, he’s there to kill the TNT Twins and doesn’t care about or really know Homelander at all. And how does the TV show’s Herogasm measure up to The Boys comic story?

For instance, Marvin tells Starlight that the sex workers hired for the soiree endure rough treatment at the hands of superpowered clients, and the Herogasm comic certainly alludes to these physical challenges as well. The comics, for example, introduced Herogasm as a much more massive event than the annual gathering seen in the show. Although no one will ever accuse T he Boys of showing restraint when it comes to its over-the-top violence and kinky sex scenes, its source material was even less inhibited by any sense of propriety, and by the time the “Herogasm” miniseries appeared in 2009, comics readers had already experienced thirty issues of sheer depravity.

Chace Crawford, the star of 'The Boys' recently spoke with Men's Health about the 'Herogasm' episode, Timothy the Octopus, and his thoughts on PETA.

He said, "Listen, the more absurd the comedy, the more crazy the violence, the more we need to handle scenes like that with nuance and realism." And he's also a fuck-up, the punchline to a lot of the show's big visual gags. So much of The Boys is a cynical take on how superheroes would operate in the real world: as unchecked sociopaths, unstable weapons of war, and puppets of powerful corporations. But being so collaborative on set, they let me improv a lot and sort of just get into it, and it turned out to be one of the fan favorite scenes. [laughs] They gave it to me, Kripke, and the VFX team for not using a live octopus in the scene! When I saw it in the episode, I was like, "Oh my god, it looks disgusting!" The next morning I was like, "I need to know what all the camera angles are. He adds that while the cast is encouraged to improv, Crawford does so with a constant stream of little lines and moments. And I was like, "I did. But I remember reading the first 20 pages of the first episode of this season and thinking, "How are they gonna do that?" The Deep is an asshole, a narcissist, and an emotionally-stunted man-child; he routinely shows more sympathy for the sea creatures he befriends, but even then he usually ends up killing them in whatever novel and gruesome way Kripke and co. "It's a tricky balance and some difficult colors to mix together," he says, "but Chace did it effortlessly."
