Geekery: ‘The Boys’ – Now With Lightning Attacks and More Gory Human Explosions
The second season is here in a smidge over a month – and it’s going to be even more blood soaked than the last.
In a more intense, more desperate Season 2 of THE BOYS, Butcher, Hughie and the team reel from their losses in Season 1. On the run from the law, they struggle to fight back against the Superheroes. As Vought, the company that manages the heroes, cashes in on the panic over the threat of Supervillains, and a new hero, Stormfront, shakes up the company and challenges an already unstable Homelander.
Note: as with everything pertaining to this show, this trailer includes a lot of violence and profanity.
We’re getting more supes – a lot more. It also seems Stormfront is getting background change, which I think is the right choice for the show (buy the comics if you want unfiltered Ennis). She has been recruited to push Vought’s superhero program using fear of the other to expand the power the Seven have. And like everyone else in this story, she has her own agenda.
It’s going to be a nasty fight between the Seven, Stormfront, the new mystery supes, and the Boys. I can’t wait.
The main cast is returning – including Karl Urban as Billy Butcher with Jack Quaid as Hughie, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Tomer Capon as the Frenchman, Karen Fukuhara as the Female of the Species, Dominique McElligott as Queen Maeve, Erin Moriarty as Starlight, and Antony Starr as Homelander. They are joined by Aya Cash as Stormfront.
The Boys are back on Amazon September 4th.
