The Boys Season 3 (2022) Trailer Review

The third season of The Boys is set to come to Amazon Prime in 3 weeks and they have just released a trailer for the show. Here are the big things I noticed and what they could mean for the show. 

Homelander has gone fully off of the rails this season. 

After the reveal that Stormfront was a Nazi, it was pretty clear that Homelander was going to have to do some damage limitation. The trailer shows him claiming to not realise she was a Nazi and fully distance himself. But this is Homelander and he isn't exactly all there, his ego seems to be at an all time high and it possibly seems like more of his villainous self will be revealed to the public eye. 

Butcher hasn't been killing supers and has to follow Hughies orders

It is revealed in the trailer that Butcher & The Boys haven't been doing their usual supe killing jobs over the previous year. In fact, Butcher has been following Hughies orders on how to fight Vought. It will be interesting to see how Butcher acts without his mission and what brings him back into the fold of killing Supes. 

Soldier Boy is released and is causing damage

It was reported a while back that Jensen Ackles would be playing Soldier Boy and we see plenty of him in this trailer. He is basically this universes version of Captain America but with way worse morals, he seems to be accidentally released by The Boys and it will be interesting to see how he factors with Homelander as there are many different directions they could go. 

Butcher gets his hands on temporary Compound V

In the comics, Butcher and the boys all end up taking Compound V in order to take on The Seven and something similar seems to be happening here. Queen Maeve gets Butcher some experimental Compound V that lasts for 24 hours, we even see scenes of Butcher using the new abilities. It feels a little hypocritical of him an I am sure that is going to be addressed which should lead to some fascinating character study. 

It is once again going to be brutal

The one thing the Boys has is that it is very violent and unapologetic about it. The trailer makes it very clear that this will continue with gore a plenty. This is great to see as this show needs to have this more adult tone and feel. 

Overall

Overall, I love The boys and I am really excited for what they have planned this season.
