No matter how many big names fall in The Boys season 5, the writers should protect one supe character at all costs. It seems almost redundant to point out that, as the Prime Video show’s last season, The Boys season 5 will be a violent affair where many characters die horribly. Not only has The Boys developed a reputation for killing off characters with gleeful abandon – Victoria Neuman, Lamplighter, Hugh Campbell Sr. – but the original Garth Ennis comic book ending was unflinchingly bloody, setting a clear precedent for the live-action adaptation.
