It’s no secret that audiences have grown a little bit sick of superhero movies, as the recent efforts from Marvel Studios and DC Films have resulted in a significant decline in quality. That being said, The Boys has proved to be the novel reinvention of the comic book genre that made it feel fresh once more.
Starlight is ultimately a heroic character, which prevents her from ever unleashing the full extent of her powers. While Starlight is willing to lash out to defend her boyfriend, Hughie , she isn’t willing to join the genocidal campaign that William Butcher wants to initiate. This resulted in a shocking twist in the fourth season, in which Starlight is kidnapped and replaced by shapeshifter without her allies in “The Boys” figuring out the difference.
Soldier Boy’s weakness doesn’t affect him as much because he is easily one of the most cruel characters on the show. While even Homelander seems to have people that he cares about protecting, Soldier Boy abuses many of his allies, and seems to have no loyalty to anyone other than Vought. Homelander has to reach into a darker side of his soul in order to withstand his brutal battle with Soldier Boy.
It’s also clear that A-Train has been racially discriminated against by Vought, who tried to make him star in generic movies with Will Ferrell that only appeal to white audiences. As radical as The Boys can get with its graphic moments of supernatural violence, the commentary on the way that black celebrities are treated by corporations couldn’t feel more close to reality.
