The third season of ‘The Boys’ has just ended via Amazon Prime Video, and with it its creator, Eric Kripke, took the opportunity to reflect on one of the most important science fiction sagas, such as ‘Star Wars’, of which he acknowledges the failure of his latest deliveries.

In an interview with Vulture, the creator of ‘The boys’ acknowledges criticism of his superhero series from Amazon Prime Video, and compares it to the George Lucas franchise, as some have pointed out that family relationships have increased in the third season, and claimed that this formula was already used in ‘Star Wars’.

First, Eric Kripke made it clear that the reveal of the season finale, in which Soldier Boy tells Homelander he is his father, was not his idea. And he adds that this formula is a great risk, but that it has been in art for centuries. While the creator of ‘The boys’ criticized ‘Star Wars’.

I mean … it’s such a shame that Star Wars has become such a big flop because nobody liked it and it keeps failing and being dark because everyone hates family stuff. I mean, people like that shit. “

Eric Kripke states that family relationships have existed since literature and that even author Joseph Cambbell mentions it in “The Hero’s Journey and the Power of Myth”, a formula that has also been seen in “The Lord of the Rings”. But for the creator of ‘The boys’, The problem of ‘Star Wars’ is that your universe is affected and reduced.

Criticism of the third season of “The Boys”

All of this stems from the fact that some of the critics towards the third season of ‘The Boys’ point out that the revelations of the plot are like the one that Darth Vader did to Anakin Skywalker. However, for the creator of the Amazon Prime Video series, this structure is not a problem.

Furthermore, he referred to those who claim that “The Boys” is becoming very “progressive” with its storyline, and said that his series is “loud and hateful” and not very subtle when it reveals that Homelander and the rest. of superheroes are the villains of the plot.

It has now been confirmed that the recordings of the fourth season of “The Boys” will begin in August, while at the same time the development of “Varsity”, the second spin-off of this universe, continues.
