The disturbing scene of ‘The Boys’ inspired by a Netflix documentary

Over the course of the three seasons, the starring series of Amazon Prime Video has gone through some moments that have caused controversy and controversy in various media. But rarely, a sequence as strange and disturbing as the one she starred in Episode The Depth of Hegasm, which was inspired by a Netflix documentary.

Although the sixth episode titled Herogasm wasn’t what fans expected, and instead left one of the most spectacular moments of the Amazon Prime Video series, the most recent episode revealed one of the moments from The Deep that gave that thought to many of the followers of the series.

In a popular Herogasm episode, The Deep, played by Chace Crawford, is captured by Starlight, while the superhero is having sex with an octopus. The joke was born when Director of ‘The boys’ I was watching ‘My teacher the octopus’, Oscar-winning documentary.

[Eric Kripke] I was watching that documentary. It’s a very moving documentary, and then he said, ‘That boy [tiene una atracción] sexual towards the octopus? Are you going to fuck him? “

The creator of ‘The boys’ when he saw the Netflix documentary he thought it was a good idea propose it to the “writers room”, and that’s how the moment was born that seems to remind us of the line of ‘Peacemaker’ when the character of John Cena says that Aquaman also has relationships with fish.

Actor Chace Crawford talked about what the recording of the controversial scene with the octopus was like, since the creator’s goal was to take the character to the absurd “because scientifically this can’t happen; there is no hole. ”Also, a 40-pound figure was used during the shoot that simulated being the animal.

For the protagonist of ‘The Boys’, the scene with the octopus was quite annoying, as it meant carrying the heavy figure for much of the day. It is worth remembering that in ‘My Teacher the Octopus’ the protagonist of the documentary does not maintain relations with the animal, but rather both have a strong closeness, which has proved to be the inspiration of the series.

And while it went a little unnoticed in an episode filled with great moments, the truth is that fans have described Herogasm as one of the best episodes in “The Boys” history, including the previous three seasons available on Amazon Prime Video.
