'Herogasm' Is the Most Graphic Thing <em>The Boys</em> Has ... (menshealth.com)

If you're a fan of Amazon Prime Video's superhero satire series The Boys, you've already seen quite a bit. In Season 1 you saw a guy blown up via a bomb in ...

Introduced in the spinoff series, Soldier Boy was simply a patriotic-themed Supe who had sex with Homelander once a year at Herogasm in an attempt to make his way into The Seven. Quite the change! But if you Google it, you'll find that "Herogasm" was a six-issue comic miniseries, published back in 2009 as a spin-off from writer Garth Ennis' main series of The Boys comics. The story took place between issues #30 and #31 of The Boys series, and was meant as a spoof of the idea that has become so popular in comics: the big event run, with some examples being stories like Marvel's Secret Wars, Civil War, or House of M. Ennis made clear that while it was intended as a satire, they didn't want to give too much trouble to any Big Two arc in particular. Homelander himself later shows up, though not for any orgy-related reason, but rather to fight both Soldier Boy (the presumed-dead star hero of decades past) and Butcher (now Suped up himself). Herogasm 2022, it turns out, is quite the spectacle of stars. In the world of The Boys (sometimes referred to as the Vought Cinematic Universe), Herogasm refers to a top-secret but quite famous (or perhaps infamous) annual happening of, well, exactly what it sounds like. The Deep being, well, The Deep, of course wastes little time in joining in on the festivities.

Here's When You Can Watch The Controversial "Herogasm ... (The Illuminerdi)

Television and comic book fans of The Boys will be getting a sweet, yet spicy episode titled "Herogasm" during the third season of the hit Prime Video show.

The camera operator looked at Ackles with a troubled face and said, “Man, I’ve seen some shit today!” He continues by saying that he can’t really say how they made the episode but it is wild! Earlier this week, the series’ Twitter account release an official teaser video where they announced that this episode is “not suitable for any audience.” In 2019 during a Reddit AMA, Kripke wrote about how “Herogasm” will be depicted into the live-action series. This became a major issue for audience but according to showrunner Eric Kripke, some of these moments won’t included due to the way the show is heading. “Herogasm” first appeared in the comics as a six-issue mini series that was introduced between May to November in 2009. Ever since the series was first announced, fans have been wondering when this “special” moment in the comics will appear on the small screen.

Supernatural fans offered The Boys fans sage advice when it comes to Eric Kripke & "Herogasm." Kripke not only agreed but he doubled down.

The launch of the show this season so far has really blown us away, and I wouldn't be surprised if you heard about more but for the time being, we are focused on this next show and making sure that it lives up to everything it needs to be, and so far, we are on track." I have to admit, when Eric Kripke came to talk to us about the spinoff, we were so excited about the potential of it, we told him we wanted it two years earlier than he said he could get it done.

Quaid Believes "Herogasm" True to Comics, Goes Places "You Wouldn't Necessarily Expect It to Go": "I read all of the comic books when I was cast as Hughie, and 'Herogasm' was one of those issues where I was like, 'Okay, we need to do this or some version of this because this is the craziest thing I've ever read. While Kripke's a Fan of the Homelander/Soldier Boy Sex Scene in the Comics, It Won't Work Here: "I love that scene and it's hilarious, but for a dozen reasons, all of which will be revealed when you see the season, it ultimately just didn't track. In a tweet from earlier today, the site for all things "Supernatural" SuperWiki wanted to remind The Boys viewers that they've learned from experience via the Kripke-created Supernatural how skilled he is at distracting you with the "shock-and-awe" before delivering a devastating emotional knockout blow.

Homelander comes and views the rummage, and after Soldier Boy mocks him as being a “cheap knock-off,” Homelander, Soldier Boy, and Billy fight.

Now that Homelander is aware that Soldier Boy is back, he decides that he must find and kill him. Another episode from The Boys will surely have its audiences talking.

One thing’s for sure as the credits roll: this episode is The Boys at its absolute best. Standing in front of the Herogasm massacre, she tells the world she quits. Instead, it makes for an audacious backdrop to the season’s best confrontation yet as Soldier Boy and Homelander collide. That’s not to say The Boys holds back – this is still a superhero orgy after all. Bolder still is the decision for the superhero orgy to not be the most shocking moment of the hour; that honor goes to A-Train, who kills Blue Hawk by dragging him along the floor at superspeed for a very grisly demise. The show’s version of Herogasm scales things back from the comics, in which Vought invites supes from around the world to an island for a convention of depravity – all while the public’s told that their heroes are off fighting a common enemy to save humanity.

Why The Boys Herogasm episode cut a Homelander sex scene with ... (digitalspy.com)

The Boys season 3 finally adapts Herogasm onscreen, but a disturbing sex scene with Homelander and Soldier Boy has been cut.

It truly is the stuff that dreams are made of, but sadly, it wasn't meant to be. And in both versions, sex workers are still paid a fortune to engage in horrific, even fatal orgies that give a bit more bang for their buck thanks to the involvement of super powers. Because on the show, Soldier Boy represents a real threat to Homelander. He's not someone who can be bullied or coerced into doing anything for someone else's approval. A lot of unsettling moments did make it to screen, but two particularly unsettling incidents have been lost — the first being when Black Noir sexually assaults Hughie with his thumb. In fact, The Boys has been teasing this legendary comic-book moment for almost as long as the show itself has been on the air. But now that Herogasm has finally squirted into our lives, is it as troubling and controversial as fans expected?

While A-Train doesn’t seem to react well initially, he actually says sorry and acknowledges how horrible it must have been to lose someone like that, given the events of Episode 5. but not in a good way”; and enough jizz for someone to drown. The Deep goes there to find Black Noir, who cuts open his wrist and rips out his tracker upon learning about Soldier Boy being alive. We later find out it was founded by Soldier Boy and Liberty (the earlier name of Stormfront) in 1952. We can say this much: it lives up to the hype, with showrunner Eric Kripke putting his own spin on the infamous event. Yet, there’s still been a fair amount of hype and trepidation around the so-called Herogasm episode.

The Boys Recap: The Top of the Food Chain (Vulture)

Herogasm” is a culmination of most of the character arcs this season, upping the stakes for the rest of the season. A recap of “Herogasm,” episode six of ...

In the final thrill of the episode, Starlight goes so far as to live-stream the aftermath of the chaos, publicly accusing Vought and Homelander of lying and hurting people. There’s the moment when Butcher and Homelander each shoot lasers at each other, and the lasers meet in midair. The long list of cameos includes Patton Oswalt and Kumail Nanjiani, but I’m most amused by the actors who, no offense, seem like they could’ve contributed to the original video. “Herogasm” isn’t completely free of the show’s occasional inclination toward stasis; the episode feints at serious consequences in Frenchie and Kimiko’s story when he has to choose between letting her or Cherie live, but Kimiko breaks free only seconds after, before he’s forced to make what would’ve been a fascinating decision. Like almost every main character this season, A-Train is tired of playing fair — so when he does find Blue Hawk, he grabs him by the foot and takes off running for the first time in a year, dragging the man facedown behind him as the road flays him at super speeds. He may still be an asshole, and he certainly deserves that punch from Hughie, but at least he understands the soul-crushing feeling of a personal injustice being swept under the rug. And the Butcher-Homelander-Soldier Boy fight is everything I hoped it would be, the type of scene I feared wouldn’t happen until the finale. It’s been interesting to see season three shift the focus of that central dilemma of the series: do the ends justify the means? MM witnessed it firsthand as a kid when Soldier Boy hurled a Benz into their Harlem home and killed his grandfather, leading to his father’s long legal battle with Vought and eventual death (and the development of MM’s OCD). Starlight’s own comfort with playing dirty gets tested in this episode when Victoria Neuman proposes they partner up, with Starlight lending her influence to Neuman’s policy goals and Neuman helping out with Homelander. This feels a bit abstract to me as a potential deal — what exactly is Neuman suggesting, and should Starlight consider it more seriously? She wants to do this the right way, and Neuman could never be a trustworthy ally. No amount of booze and bennies seem to be enough to hold off the traumatic memories that keep coming back to him and causing ten-minute explosive blackouts. Going full Norman Osborn, he envisions mirror-Homelander as the cold-hearted, confident Homelander he wishes he could be — the Homelander without a trace of humanity.

Herogasm underwhelms, but “Herogasm” takes things to a new level (Winter Is Coming)

Meanwhile, MM and Starlight suss out that Soldier Boy will go after the TNT Twins next and move to intercept. Homelander heads there for the exact same reason, ...

I guess I overestimated Hughie; I took him at his word that he didn’t buy in to the toxic pursuit of strength for strength’s sake, but he’s weaker than he looks. I sympathize with both of them — Nina tortures them both brutally — but I’m ready for them to rejoin the narrative. Still, I’m not kidding when I say that Homelander meets his match here; he can’t take the combined powers of all three of them and flies away to do god-knows-what to himself high in his lonely room. Mother’s Milk got covered in a geyser of reproductive material and the Deep got intimate with an octopus, but I dunno; when you start the season with a guy exploding out the crotch of his lover from inside his penis, there’s nowhere to go but down. But just because Herogasm underwhelmed doesn’t mean the episode did; in fact, this is one of the best of the season so far. Simply put, The Boys has set the bar for “sick and depraved” so high that it’s hard to raise it, and this didn’t quite do the trick.

The festivity ended after Soldier Boy went ballistic after hearing a Russian song, blasting half of the people attending the Herogasm with the nuclear energy bursting out of his chest. After scouting the place, Soldier Boy told his partners that he founded Herogasm in 1952. Herogasm is an orgy involving many minor Supes created by Vought that went down in The Boys Season 3 Episode 6.

The Boys Season 3, Episode 6 Review - "Herogasm" - IGN (IGN)

The Boys adapts its “Herogasm” storyline with all the sexual depravity you'd expect, but does well to honor character evolutions over excessive graphicness ...

Other highlights of this excellent episode include Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) outright fleeing from Soldier Boy because he's seen the bastard in action to Starlight's bombshell social media confession. Jensen Ackles is chewing his way through fast-food cheeseburgers as the perfect antithesis to Starr's braggadocious and full-of-himself Vought superchild, remorseless like a heat-seeking missile of vengeance with only hatred in his heart. Hope comes in the form of Butcher, Hughie, and Soldier Boy striking fear into Homelander, who has no answer. The return of Love Sausage allows the seriousness to dissipate as Kripke introduces TNT Twins Tommy (Jack Doolan) and Tess (Kristin Booth), sleazy Payback members who host Herogasm for C-level supes with superpowered fetishes. Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Starlight (Erin Moriarty) confront their relationship after Hughie confesses his power trippage on V24. A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) butts heads with Blue Hawk (Nick Wechsler) after the latter handicaps his brother in a racist outburst. Of course, "Herogasm" is about superhero fornication as pyros walk around with flaming dongs and ice conjurers manifest icy sex toys.

'The Boys': 'Herogasm' Will Leave Fans Sweaty & Satisfied (RECAP) (TV Insider)

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for The Boys Season 3 Episode 6, “Herogasm.”] Has there ever been an episode of The Boys as hotly ...

While they argue, Soldier Boy finds the twins — who are arguing about a camera in the toilet — and as they swear they didn’t know about him being turned over to Russia, a particular song comes on the party playlist. In the end, Soldier Boy almost kills Homelander… but the mad supe breaks free at the last second and soars away. She kills both of the men, but she sustains serious injuries without her powers and Nina gets away. In safety on a forested road, they have a huge argument about Hughie’s reliance on V and whether Annie always needs to be the “strong” one. He, Soldier Boy, Butcher, and Hughie have a nasty brawl that nearly kills all of them at some point; walls are broken, necks are nearly snapped, and laser eyes burn. Blue Hawk doesn’t listen, having already decided that Homelander was right when he said Soldier Boy wasn’t back and the attack in New York was nothing to worry about. (From the moment he was sent to Herogasm, I predicted he’d end up doing something nasty with a fish.) Annie and MM appear next, and she tries to warn Blue Hawk of the incoming danger. Back inside the house, MM comes face to face with the man who killed his grandfather… But in a TV landscape where Game of Thrones and Westworld exist (remember that Season 1 orgy?), I wouldn’t say nothing like Herogasm has ever aired before. Annie has a tense meeting with Neuman ( Claudia Doumit), who knows that Hughie knows she’s a supe. So, to the orgy they go. The gist of the story is that three groups are all going after “the twins” in Payback, who are hosting the “Herogasm” orgy at their home.

Here's What Happens in THE BOYS 'Herogasm' Episode (Nerdist)

The Herogasm is here. The Boys fans have been wondering how in the world the show would bring that infamous comic storyline to fruition on TV.

In fact, the Herogasm action happens mostly in the background with supes and sex workers doing all sorts of things. There is mention of sex workers having things done to them that are quite unsavory (to say the least), so Herogasm is still very icky. And a Herogasm event is a no good, very bad thing. The producers on set held their breath mostly because of the smell.” And then we added in all our Boys madness with hovering vibrators and icy dildos and all of the craziness that we do.” The Boys: Herogasm is the fifth volume of the comic series. It triggers Soldier Boy’s powers, causing him to kill the twins and completely destroy the house along with seriously injuring some people. The twins are now the hosts of Herogasm, a Vermont sex orgy event started by Soldier Boy. Everyone arrives on their own missions in different little teams and they are all pretty shocked at the scene. And it ends with Homelander trying to form a coupe to take over the world. A few things that happen there include Soldier Boy (who is more Hughie-like in terms of personality) having sex with Homelander in hopes of joining the Seven and Payback swooping in to take out the Boys. Homelander also kills a plane full of people just because he can (which we’ve seen in a different form previously) and Noir sexually assaults Hughie. There’s ample sexual acts, hence the name. In fact, he’s there to kill the TNT Twins and doesn’t care about or really know Homelander at all. And how does the TV show’s Herogasm measure up to The Boys comic story?

For instance, Marvin tells Starlight that the sex workers hired for the soiree endure rough treatment at the hands of superpowered clients, and the Herogasm comic certainly alludes to these physical challenges as well. The comics, for example, introduced Herogasm as a much more massive event than the annual gathering seen in the show. Although no one will ever accuse T he Boys of showing restraint when it comes to its over-the-top violence and kinky sex scenes, its source material was even less inhibited by any sense of propriety, and by the time the “Herogasm” miniseries appeared in 2009, comics readers had already experienced thirty issues of sheer depravity.

The Boys: Starlight Leaves Herogasm A Changed Woman - IGN (IGN)

There's no going back for Starlight after The Boys' pivotal "Herogasm" episode. What's in store for Annie January now?

Will she get tossed in with Maeve? Vought and Homelander could somehow force her to go on record saying it was all a lie, while Neuman could choose Annie’s going rogue as the moment to make good on her head poppin’ threat so she could ultimately pin it all on Homelander and get him back in line. “Most heroes don’t care about you,” she starts before explaining to the millions watching live that Supes only care about their image and that Homelander is the worst of them all. This takes us to the final moments of “Herogasm,” and Starlight’s most impressive moment of the series. Victoria’s got the political standing and knows enough of Vought’s dirty little secrets to keep America’s highest profile domestic terrorist in check, and Starlight has the following to goose her numbers in a way that gets Neuman even more political power. Yet, this (sometimes infuriating) ray of sunshine still refuses to do things the way the Butchers or the Homelanders or the Neuman’s would. And damn, what a breath of fresh air that is with the Butchers of the world always being the loudest people in the room.

The Boys S03 "Herogasm" Review: Satisfying, Cigarette-Worthy ... (Bleeding Cool News)

Sure, there was a whole lot of "supe sex" going on during "Herogasm." But the best episode of The Boys so far was much more about "release."

But perhaps the biggest release of all belongs to Starlight… or as we are to now call her, Annie January. Because this was the episode that Annie drew a line in the sand and told everyone (and we mean everyone, Hughie) to go fuck themselves. And then we saw what A-Train did with that release of guilt, and that was to take the Blue Hawk (Nick Wechsler) matter into his own hands. As for Serge, it's hopefully the beginning of his understanding that his worth doesn't depend on who he works for (and it was fascinating how MM and Butcher were both thinking about him heading into "Herogasm," mentioning how much he always wanted to check out one of those). With Kumiko, the understanding that it wasn't her powers that made her "The Female" but who she was as a person is definitely a punch to the gut. Ashley (Colby Minifie) reminds A-Train of the "realities" of his past and how much she & Vought covered up his "indiscretions" for years, amazingly punctuated by Minifie by the look on Ashley's face and her outwardly expressing her amazement at finally having said all of that out loud. So with that said, we're throwing on the "MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!" sign and throwing down an image spoiler buffer before we do our deep dive (though not as deep as some of those "dives" we saw).

“Herogasm” is finally upon us, promising peak levels of debauchery and bloodshed for the titular gang of mercenaries to get caught up in. As is the case for The Boys in general, “Herogasm” is not for the faint of heart, and even the sturdiest stomach may need to pause the episode and step out of the room for a moment. After Homelander learned from The Deep that Soldier Boy had returned, the leader of The Seven turned to Black Noir, thanking him for having his back up to now, confident that the ninja would follow him into battle against the long-lost Supe. In response, Black Noir promptly walked into an elevator before removing his Vought tracking chip and going completely MIA, the Black Noir equivalent of a resounding “nope.”

Chace Crawford Just Had a Sex Scene with an Octopus. The Real ... (menshealth.com)

Chace Crawford, the star of 'The Boys' recently spoke with Men's Health about the 'Herogasm' episode, Timothy the Octopus, and his thoughts on PETA.

He said, "Listen, the more absurd the comedy, the more crazy the violence, the more we need to handle scenes like that with nuance and realism." And he's also a fuck-up, the punchline to a lot of the show's big visual gags. So much of The Boys is a cynical take on how superheroes would operate in the real world: as unchecked sociopaths, unstable weapons of war, and puppets of powerful corporations. But being so collaborative on set, they let me improv a lot and sort of just get into it, and it turned out to be one of the fan favorite scenes. [laughs] They gave it to me, Kripke, and the VFX team for not using a live octopus in the scene! When I saw it in the episode, I was like, "Oh my god, it looks disgusting!" The next morning I was like, "I need to know what all the camera angles are. He adds that while the cast is encouraged to improv, Crawford does so with a constant stream of little lines and moments. And I was like, "I did. But I remember reading the first 20 pages of the first episode of this season and thinking, "How are they gonna do that?" The Deep is an asshole, a narcissist, and an emotionally-stunted man-child; he routinely shows more sympathy for the sea creatures he befriends, but even then he usually ends up killing them in whatever novel and gruesome way Kripke and co. "It's a tricky balance and some difficult colors to mix together," he says, "but Chace did it effortlessly."

In 'Herogasm,' The Boys Puts the 'Fun' in 'Superhero Fundamentals' (The Escapist)

The Boys season 3 episode 6 review: "Herogasm" adapts the infamous superhero sex orgy comic, but more so, it reflects good storytelling.

While it is easy to get distracted by the crass vulgarity of “Herogasm” and the ways in which The Boys pushes its own boundaries, the truth is that the show’s strength is more fundamental than any of that. It takes a great deal of pleasure in the opportunities that the genre affords for creative storytelling and visual playfulness. The Boys features layers upon layers of mediated reality. Kripke joked that the creative team wanted to “ give the audience what they wanted with Ant-Man, but couldn’t get from Marvel.” If one strips away the cussing and the gore, The Boys understands the basic mechanics and rhythms of a superhero story better than any of the superhero shows streaming on Disney+. Director Chloé Zhao boasted that Eternals would contain a “ beautiful joyous dance sequence” straight from Bollywood, but the sequence is shot in such a way that nobody would actually confuse it with an actual Indian musical number. “Herogasm” is structured around such moments, with the entire episode built up from a superhero orgy in which the participants find perverted uses for their powers. Indeed, it is no small irony that “Herogasm” features just such a confrontation between the temporarily superpowered Butcher and Homelander (Antony Starr) amid everything else going on. The show has clean character arcs, understanding what each lead wants and the obstacles that stand in their way. However, for all that critics are quick to accuse The Boys of “ pushing the boundaries of taste” in favor of “ relentless, vulgar maximalism,” the show remains better at superhero storytelling than many of its genre contemporaries. The series occupies pride of place in Amazon’s streaming lineup. The show has an established template and format and doesn’t veer too far from that.
