‘The Boys’ creator says he fears he’ll become ‘someone we’ve been lampooning for five years’ in same series, which is getting three spin-offs

Eric Kripke, the creator of “The Boys,” was worried that he would become like the superhero movies he’s been lampooning since its inception.

The Boys is obviously a hugely popular show – in the age of streaming, you can’t run it for five seasons without attracting a huge audience. But so far, creator Eric Kripke is unsurprisingly worried about whether the show has become the thing it’s trying to mock. Kripke spoke to Collider about expanding the series beyond the original series given all these spinoffs, explaining: “We’re going to see what the chips are that we put on the table right now. I live in In absolute fear of becoming what we once were” satirizes five years. The thing about “Boys” is that it’s punk rock, and it’s extra painful when a punk rocker sells out.

“I’m trying really hard not to sell out. We do these shows because we really care about them, we’re passionate about them, and they can tell fresh stories that we can’t tell on The Boys that aren’t just about fast Expansion, but being very careful and mindful of the choices we make and being able to defend the reasons why we make those choices, I just want people to say, maybe it’s for them, maybe it’s not for them, but it has to be left to them. , they maintain a consistent level of quality.”

The thing is, The Boys kind of jumped on the Marvel Universe train when it came to building out the comic book world. Last year, Amazon announced that following the success of The Boys and its first spinoff, The Fifth Generation , another film set in Mexico was in the works. Then there’s Vought Rising, the third spinoff that will serve as a prequel and focus on Soldier Boy and Stormfront. I don’t know about you, but to me, those worldly jokes about the Seven movies sound a little hollow now.

We’ll finally say goodbye to The Boys, though, as it was confirmed earlier this year that season five will be the last, so enjoy it while you’re there.
