10 Deleted TV Scenes We Never Got To See
9. Homelander Climaxes Over New York City - The Boys
From practically its opening scene, The Boys announced itself as a superhero series like no other, and committed to that no-holds-barred, brutally irreverent tone all the way to the end of its first season.
There was, however, a single scene which even the permissive Amazon pushed back against, and it unsurprisingly involved the infuriatingly smug, murderous "superhero" Homelander (Anthony Starr). In series creator Eric Kripke's own words:
"I couldn't quite understand why considering everything else we have in the show, but: Homelander, after being dressed down by Stilwell in episode 2, was standing on one of the Chrysler Building Eagles. He pulled his pants down and started j**king off, mumbling 'I can do whatever I want' over and over again until he climaxed all over New York City.
We shot it! Oh my God, Anthony was the BEST in that scene. Amazon seemed to think it wasn't necessary. I thought it told me something about his psyche. To be clear, they've been great, that may have been the ONLY fight I lost in Season 1."
Despite been filmed, the scene hasn't been released to date, perhaps because it was nixed by Amazon before its VFX work had been completed - or maybe they just hated it that much. Either way, shame.
