If you’ve watched The Boys on Amazon Prime then you’ll know the series doesn’t shy away from difficult subject matters.
Well it turns out there was one scene which Amazon decided was just too close to the bone (bad pun) to show even on a streaming platform. Series co-creator Erik Kripke tells all in this Reddit AMA quote below:
There was ONE SCENE that Amazon said F**K NO, you have to cut. 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 jerking 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.
That sounds like an… interesting scene to say the least!
The Boys stars Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Karen Fukuhara as the Female, Erin Moriarty as Annie January, Chace Crawford as the Deep, Antony Starr as Homelander and Simon Pegg as Hughie’s dad.
