The Boys Season 3: 10 Reasons To Be Excited

So how crazy was the second season of The Boys? Amazon’s decision to release the episodes in a staggered weekly fashion proved to be the right move, because every week has been an insane ride that wouldn't have been appreciated as much if we got it all in one go..

This season has been a crazy one filled with more gore, more super-debauchery and more expletive uses of the C-Word.

Oh! There’s also been some very accurate and disturbing portrayal of the rise of neo-fascistic beliefs in the 21st Century, but let’s try to focus on the positives - like a whale being impaled, and a sex addict self-immolating.

The second season of The Boys has cemented the show as a staple of delightful grotesque entertainment. With just the right amount of topical subjects to make it both enthralling but not too preachy. And after eight episodes, they should doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon. With a third season approved days ahead of the season two premiere, the show is becoming one of the biggest things for the 2020's.

While we're still coming down from the sugar-rush of Season 2, and the third is in pre-production, let's speculate and wonder about eleven things we could expect in the future season of The Boys.

Spoilers ahead.

Am I the only one who really wants to watch Dawn Of The Seven? Just to see how painfully pandering it was to the cynical use of buzzwords. The overarching minor plot throughout season two pulled off a great visual gag in the final episode, as the female Supes kicked and stomped the Nazi Stormfront to the ground.

All joking aside, The Boys' take on misuse of the concept of "girl power", as well as the growth of modern neo-Nazis were fantastically written takes on some topics that are heavily relevant in the contemporary age.

The relevance of the show could only really be witnessed through a modern lens, and while the two subject matters are completely different, they went in tandem with one another brilliantly with the rise and fall of Stormfront.

For Season 3 to keep the momentum going, it needs to focus its attention on a similar (but fresh) subject matter. It's probably no coincidence that the subject matter of the second season coincides with a generation-defining election in America, and thus maybe showrunner Eric Kripke is waiting for the results before he executes the next story.

Whichever way it goes, you can be sure Kripke no doubt has a plan. But if the confirmed arrival of Soldier Boy (and possibly the whole Payback team) is anything to indicate, could distorted jingoism be the next take?
