THE BOYS’ Eric Kripke on Homelander’s Total Meltdown and The Deep’s Cybertruck
This post contains major spoilers for The Boys season five, episode three. If you want to avoid them until you watch, check out our previous final season coverage instead. If not, then join us in our latest interview with Eric Kripke about The Boys season three.
In episode three of The Boys final season Homelander imagined a holy message from a woman he killed, bathed in breast milk, got naked in front of his dad, and nearly beat his own son to death. Even for him it was a lot. What was it like imagining what the world’s most powerful Supe’s descent into madness would do entail? When we got a chance to talk to him again we asked showrunner Eric Kripke about that. We also talked about the cast, The Deep’s car of choice, and more about season five’s third episode.
Prime VideoNerdist: Before we get to this week’s episode, I have one quick question about episode two. When you were developing Rock Hard’s story, did you ever think to yourself, “Is there something wrong with us?”
Kripke: (big laugh) I mean, I’ve both always asked that question but also never have asked that question. Oh man, it’s all fair play. I mean, look, it’s logical. The guy’s got to spurt lava. How else do you grow as a mountain? Like, use some logic, Mikey. (laughs)
Sorry.
Kripke: He’s got to grow. We knew that he had to become huge. There’s only one way mountains become huge.
Okay. Yeah, fair. Fair. When you’re right, you’re right.
Prime VideoHe’s never exactly been stable, but we’re now watching Homelander completely lose it.
Kripke: Yeah.
What was the conversation like in The Boys writers’ room when you tried to figure out what it would look like when the most powerful person in the world really loses their mind?
Kripke: An idea that came up reasonably early and that we always loved, just absolutely fell in love with, was this notion that an angel in the form of Madelyn Stillwell comes down and sort of gives him his holy mission. Which, of course, is his completely cracking psyche, but he actually believes he was visited by angel Madelyn Stillwell. And we held onto that as things break and things change and move around and, “Where does it go?”
All that stuff is very intangible; it’s always floating around. But that was a coin we always had on the board of, “Stillwell gives him his holy mission.” We thought that was the best way to do it. After spinning out after A-Train, and then Soldier Boy, and then Soldier Boy hates him, and then all the previous seasons, [Homelander] was just due. This felt like the right episode to be due for a psychological break.
It’s also the episode that would be the end of act one in a movie, where all the missions are now thrown out there and clear. Which is that he wants V-One so he can become a god. The Boys want V-One, so Homelander one doesn’t get it, but also so that they can save Kimiko and Annie. So it all kind of lined up at the right place because this is after the first two episodes of setup. This is when we sort of take off into what the rest of the season is about.
Prime VideoEven after all this time, I’m still blown away by Antony Starr’s performance, which I already thought was an all-time, singular performance before season five. Sustained greatness can be easy to take for granted. So as a showrunner, what do you think specifically stands out about his work in these early episodes?
Kripke: It’s this combustible mix of truly terrifying brutality with the weakest, smallest neediness. And he’s always been great at that, but there’s something about this season where he’s such an open wound. He’s such a little child in how much he wants his father’s approval, how much he needs the world to love him. You just see it, the longing. And then he can switch so quickly and be just genuinely terrifying.
I think Ant has created one of the great television villains of all time, and it’s like, “What else does he have to fucking do? Give this guy an Emmy already for fuck’s sake.”
Totally agree on that. I also love what Karen Fukuhara’s doing this season in what is a very different role for a very obvious reason. Considering her performance this year, do you wish you had had Kimiko talking sooner?
Kripke: …No. This was the right time to do it, for this last season. What that character had to go through in terms of her evolution, from when you think about where she started to where she is now, she had to find her voice from a character and thematic standpoint before she could find her voice physically. And that took a minute. So I don’t know if I would’ve done it any earlier. But she’s crushing it. It’s such a hard challenge to spend four seasons without a line of dialogue and then suddenly be speaking and have it be equally charming and scary. And she’s crushing it.
Imagine going back and saying Kimiko’s going to be the funniest character on the show.
Kripke: (laughs) Right?
Prime VideoIf you can’t tell, I’m really kind of blown away by the performances of season five. As I told Jessie T. Usher, I’m trying not to succumb to recency bias, but I feel like everybody’s doing their best work yet. And that includes Erin Moriarty, who is once again phenomenal in this third episode. What did you talk about with her, and where Starlight is emotionally, before you started shooting this season?
Kripke: I told her it’s been a really hard year with lots of loss, and you’ve really come over to Butcher’s way of thinking, which is that ends justify the means. That you’ve needed to put up a shell to defend yourself, because your heart is just being broken so many times, and it callouses, ultimately.
The simplest way to put it, that I think really resonated with her, is I said, “Well, you turned into Maeve. You did the one thing you swore you’d never do. You gave away so much of yourself, and your heart got broken so many times that you’re Maeve.” And so the question is, “Can Hughie pull you back to who you were?” There’s something sort of full circle and poetic about who she was in season one, and how she just so desperately didn’t want to become this type of personality. But lo and behold, she is.
In episode three, Hughie gives her just a minute of hope. You see it where his goodness is just making her think for the first time in a long time, maybe everything’s going to be okay. But then she thinks he almost dies. She thinks he’s dead, and she just realizes that, at least at this moment, that all of that is dangerous. It’s dangerous and painful to hope. And that sort of sends her off at the end of the episode into the next one.
Prime VideoAnother episode of The Boys where Hughie gets covered in goo. Last week, The Deep did a commercial for a very highly specific tanning machine.
Kripke: (smiles) Sure.
After all this time, who do you prefer to torture more: Jack Quaid or Chase Crawford?
Kripke: Um….I would say…(smiling) neither are tortured. I would say both are doing good, hard work for their characters. Jack has an amazing Buster Keaton dry reaction to being covered in blood, which is delightful. Chase is just so endlessly funny. I don’t think Chase is tortured. I think Chase loves doing all that stuff.
Those clips are going to live forever.
Kripke: But he loves it. One thing I will say, too is that the very first idea we had about The Deep this season, I mean, the first one is that he drives a Cybertruck.
Perfect. It was perfect.
Prime VideoKripke: It was so obvious, right?
Perfect. Made the most sense in the world.
Kripke: Yeah. This was the episode that we got to do it, but that was before any other idea. That was the first one.
As soon as he was driving, it was like, “Of course.“
Kripke: What other car would he be driving?
Mikey Walsh is a staff writer at Nerdist. He’d take the goo over what Chace Crawford has to do on The Boys. You can follow him on Bluesky at @burgermike. And also anywhere someone is ranking the Targaryen kings.

Fort Harmony in THE BOYS, Explained: Its Ties to V-One and Vought
The fight against Homelander goes into full swing in The Boys season five’s third episode. Both Butcher’s team and Homelander’s crew discover that Soldier Boy didn’t die because he was injected with V-One, the original batch of Compound V. Only a few people, including him and Stormfront/Liberty, were able to endure it and thus became immortal. The supe killing virus cannot bond to it, and Soldier Boy is right back to looking like his normal self. The Boys know that Homelander will be on the hunt for V-One, so they seek out Stan Edgar for help. That journey reveals a lot about Compound V’s origins, and we discover what Fort Harmony’s importance is in The Boys universe.

Compound V and Compound V24 in THE BOYS and GEN V, ExplainedStarlight leads them to Stan Edgar’s compound… well, almost all of them. Butcher is obviously not welcome, considering he killed Edgar’s daughter Victoria Neuman. Zoe is also quite angry and wants to kill Butcher. The crew dig into some old Vought files that Stan has, and MM discovers that many files from 1944 are encrypted but also point to Fort Harmony.
What Is Fort Harmony in The Boys Universe? Frederick Vought’s House of HorrorsIt doesn’t take long for him to crack the code. In The Boys universe, Fort Harmony was an Army hospital where Frederick Vought worked. The government designated it top secret and decommissioned it after WWII. MM says that if there is any V1 out there, that would be the place to look.
Predictably, things go to s**t when Dogknott, the Deep, Black Noir (or whoever that is under the mask), and Cindy show up. The Deep takes Stan Edgar back to Homelander, who presumably is seeking him out for the same information. Stan did tell MM that he’s in a losing battle because capitalism will always win, and even said that he still plans to head Vought again one day. So he’s probably going to give up the information. It will be a race to see who can get there first, and the Boys are mostly losing.
Jasper Savage/Prime VideoButcher ran off after Ryan, who confronted Homelander about his mother and was nearly beaten to death. Zoe found her father Sameer and told him the truth about Victoria’s death, so he destroyed all the supe killing virus stash. Annie is in her feelings and flew away somewhere. None of this is good.
We will certainly learn more about Fort Harmony in upcoming episodes of The Boys. And considering that Vought Rising will take place in the 1950s, we will get more insight into Fort Harmony, Compound V-One, and what horrors happened thanks to Frederick Vought.

Homelander’s Punching Rampage in THE BOYS Is Gut-Wrenching
Homelander and Butcher are certainly two sides of the same reallyyy messed up coin. They have been in a verbal and, at times, physical spar since the show’s very beginning, a classic antagonistic relationship that cannot end well for the both of them. And, things are even more complex when you throw Ryan in the mix. Right now, Ryan is not in a good place with either of them, both of whom have mistreated him to various degrees and used him in their ongoing feud. (To be fair, Butcher does actually care about Ryan as much as he can care for someone else.) Well, Ryan is back on the scene in The Boys season five, and episode three is a rough go for the angry young supe.
Prime VideoWe discover that Ryan has been hanging out in Russia and killing military guys left and right. He returns back to America after getting a text from Victoria Neuman’s daughter Zoe. She wants Ryan’s help to kill Butcher, who murdered Victoria in season four. But Ryan isn’t sure that will work. He rightfully calls Butcher dangerous before Zoe storms off and, of course, Butcher was watching the whole time.
Ryan cannot bring himself to kill Butcher, and they have a conversation about the supe killing virus and Homelander. Butcher gives young Ryan a sad task: to get close to Homelander, release the virus, and kill all three of them. He says that the world is less safe with supes in it. Ryan eventually agrees to it, saying all he does is hurt people.
RELATED ARTICLE
Eric Kripke Says THE BOYS Will Not Have Massive Battle ScenesButcher takes Ryan back to his lab in Erie, where they discover that Sameer and Zoe destroyed all of the supe killing virus. Sameer was rightfully upset at the truth about what happened to Victoria, so he decided to do this and Frenchie/Kimiko allowed him to leave alive. Butcher estimates that it will take around a month to create more but Ryan insists that they should go now, even without the virus. Of course, Butcher’s mouth gets in the way as he says Ryan is not strong enough and will just be another stupid kid on a dummy mission. He’s not wrong, but having a little tact would’ve been helpful, sir.
As teenagers do, Ryan goes off to confront Homelander, specifically about sexually assaulting his mother. Homelander lets him beat up on him for a bit before he turns the tables and nearly beats Ryan to death. It’s pretty darn heartbreaking to watch it happen to one of the few beings whom Homelander seemed to tolerate the most. Butcher gets there a little too late and Ryan is laid out and barely sentient. Kids just don’t understand. This act of violence will only spur both Ryan and Butcher to go after Homelander even harder, either together or on their own terms. We shall see how the chips fall.

THE BOYS Brings Back a Character for Its Weirdest Cameo Yet
Episode three of The Boys season five is quite the doozy in a lot of ways. We catch up with Ryan, hang out with Stan Edgar, and even see Hughie get beaten up by an invisible God U student. But one of the most disturbing scenes is Homelander’s complete mental spiral where he has a “spiritual revelation” thanks to an angel coming to see him. That angel making a cameo is none other than Madelyn Stillwell, a former character in The Boys universe and a true blast from the show’s past.
Homelander is not coping with anything well at the moment. He’s upset after Soldier Boy tells him that he’s a weak and sniveling little idiot who wants to be loved. As we know, he hates to hear the truth about himself. And when he’s alone in his office space, the words of many from his past play in his head, as they call him pathetic in many different formats. Suddenly, the light appears that he saw at A-Train’s funeral and there’s an angelic version of Madelyn Stillwell.
Prime VideoWho Is the Angel Woman that Homelander Saw in The Boys Season 5? Madelyn Stillwell’s Vought HistoryIn case you forgot, she was an antagonist back in The Boys first season. Madelyn was the Senior VP of Hero Management and in charge of making the Seven look good no matter what. But, she also wanted supes in the military as well. She was one of the few people who could get into Homelander’s head and control him, both as his advisor and someone he is sexually active with.
Madelyn was also Homelander’s source of, um, milk. She played into his deep desire for maternal love, and it’s a twisted relationship that strongly hints at her sexually abusing him as a child. But, he soon killed her in a rage after discovering she lied about Becca Butcher and his son Ryan’s fate.
Prime VideoIn this episode, Madelyn comes to him and says that he is a god who should take over the world. She essentially encourages him to kill every living being who stands in his way and that the others who love him will support his actions. Baptizing the unfaithful in their own blood is a wild quest to go on. Now, it seems this is what he will do, even if it is the last thing he does. We didn’t expect to see a Madelyn Stillwell cameo in The Boys season five, but it was as weird as we imagined it would be.

GAME OF THRONES Movie Gets Obvious Title AEGON’S CONQUEST
Valyrian dragons are coming to theaters. After years of rumors and false starts, a Game of Thrones movie is finally happening. We already knew what it was about. Now we know its title. And it’s the most obvious one possible. A Game of Thrones movie about Aegon the Conqueror’s conquest of the Realm is taking the direct approach with the title Aegon’s Conquest.HBO/IGN
Warner Bros. revealed the name of its upcoming Game of Thrones movie at this year’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas. The title was included in the studio’s “2027 and beyond” tease. Andor writer and House of Cards showrunner Beau Willimon is penning the script for Aegon’s Conquest.
Though uninspiring, this title is not exactly a surprise. Aegon’s Conquest has been a ubiquitous term in HBO’s tales of the Seven Kingdoms. It’s never far from characters’ minds because it forever reshaped Westeros. The dragonlord and his two-sister wives of House Targaryen, the last surviving family of the Valyrian Freehold, united (most) of the Seven Kingdoms, setting up a dynasty that lasted almost three hundred years until Jaime Lannister slew the Mad King.
HBO/IGNAegon’s exploits are famous throughout Westeros, but as A Song of Ice and Fire has shown, history is not always what it seems. There will be misconceptions and surprises to learn about the famed Conqueror, whose story Warner Bros. and HBO have tried to bring to the screen before. The idea has been under consideration since at least 2016. At multiple points, the Aegon’s Conquest movie was developed as a Game of Thrones spinoff series. One of them would have portrayed him as a “drunken lout,” though that was long before we learned why Aegon turned his gaze to Westeros on House of the Dragon.
What kind of Aegon will we get in Aegon’s Conquest? Despite the Game of Thrones movie’s title, it’s not obvious.

GOOD OMENS Season 3 Trailer Kicks Off the Second Coming
Good Omens‘ second season ended with Michael Sheen’s Aziraphale rejecting David Tennant’s Crowley. The demon wanted to run off together for an eternity of happines. Instead Aziraphale opted to become Heaven’s top angel. But as Good Omens 3‘s trailer reveals, just because he’s in charge doesn’t mean he’s in control. Especially not when he loses Jesus Christ.Good Omens 3 Synopsis and Teaser Trailer
The Second Coming is coming in Good Omens 3. But that title is sort of a misnomer. Season three is really just a 90-minute special that will serve as a series finale. It was originally slated to be a full, finale season until multiple women made credible allegations of sexual assault against the novel’s co-author and series creator, Neil Gaiman. He then stepped away from the series entirely. At the time of his departure, it was unclear if the show would continue at all.
Now we know what to expect from this finale, as Aziraphale finds out his good intentions might be totally pointless. Here’s the final “season’s” official synopsis, released along with the Good Omens 3 trailer:
Good Omens 3 picks up where the ineffable story left off in Season Two as the beloved and unlikely duo – angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley return to face their most epic and personal adventure yet. Their millennia-long friendship has been fractured ever since Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) accepted the offer to return to Heaven, leaving Crowley (David Tennant) behind. Now, as the newly appointed Supreme Archangel, Aziraphale is tasked with overseeing the Second Coming, a monumental responsibility that weighs heavily on him, and is made worse when his plans cause some consternation among the other angels. Meanwhile, heartbroken Crowley finds himself at rock bottom, wandering the streets of Soho.
That is a remarkably thorough synopsis! It really provides…..hold on. Oh. Okay, there’s somehow actually more. The rest of the synopsis:
As the fate of the universe hangs in the balance, Aziraphale and Crowley must confront their relationship, heal old wounds and rediscover their bond. From navigating London’s gangsters to thwarting Hellish threats, they face personal betrayals and the complexities of their own emotions in this timeless expedition. Together, they must decide whether their friendship – and the world itself – is worth saving.
Prime VideoGood Omens 3 Release DateA lot of information there for a 90-minute finale! A lot of information. But we’re not complaining. We’ll take as much Good Omens as we can now, because it will come to an end when Good Omens 3 debuts at Prime Video on May 13, 2026.

MAUL Includes Sam Witwer’s Screams in His Lightsaber Noise
The dark side warrior known as Maul, formerly known as Darth Maul, was the breakout character from The Phantom Menace. But then, George Lucas decided to cut the Sith Lord in half and tumble him down a pipe. Luckily, Lucasfilm later resurrected Maul in animation. First in Clone Wars, then Rebels, and now, in Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. Voicing him throughout has been Sam Witwer, who brings an evil ferocity to the character only glimpsed in live-action. In fact, his screams and snarls have become so iconic, the Maul creators have layered his anguished screams into his lightsaber sounds for the series.
In a behind-the-scenes video for Maul, we see Witwer doing all kinds of things in the recording booth to prepare. One of those things is having a rough form of Maul-like tattoos on his face to get into the spirit of the character. In the video, the show’s creators explain how they took snippets of Sam Witwer’s tortured screams and layered them into the lightsaber sounds. You might not notice them at first, as they remain somewhat buried under the iconic noises designed by Ben Burtt. But once you hear them, it’s pretty hard to ignore.
Lucasfilm AnimationAnother cool sonic element in Maul-Shadow Lord is the echo of Sanskrit chanting when Maul appears. This is a callback to the ominous voices we’d hear whenever Darth Maul entered a scene in The Phantom Menace. The full Sanskrit chanting could be heard in John Williams’ “Duel of the Fates.” But snippets of it appeared whenever Maul made an entrance. Dave Filoni and the creators of Maul-Shadow Lord have continued that tradition for the series, which is a cool callback to the character when we first met him. What we want to know is, will Witwer get a Maul scream as iconic as his yelling “Kenobi!!!” in Rebels? We’re crossing our fingers we get another scream for the ages.
