Sure, JanThe Boys' creator says he's worried about becoming "the thing we've been satirizing for five years" of the same series that is set to get three spinoffs"Im really working hard to not sell out."Image credit: Amazon News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Nov. 17, 2024 Eric Kripke, creator of The Boys, is worried about becoming the same as the superhero movies it's been satirising since it started airing.The Boys is obviously an incredibly popular show - you don't make it to five seasons in the age of streaming without bringing in some big numbers. But coming this far along, creator Eric Kripke unsurprisingly has some concerns about whether or not the show has become the very thing it's trying to mock. Speaking to Collider about expanding the series beyond the original show, considering all those spinoffs, Kripke explained, "Were gonna look at the chips we have on the table right now. I live in absolute terror of becoming the thing weve been satirizing for five years . The thing about The Boys is that its punk rock, and it hurts extra hard when punk rockers sell out.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. "Im really working hard to not sell out. We do these shows because we really care about them and were passionate about them, and they can tell fresh stories that we cant tell in The Boys and not just be about rapid expansion but be very careful and mindful about the choices were making and being able to defend why were making them. I worry about that every single day. I just want people to say, maybe its for them and maybe it isnt for them, but gotta hand it to them, they maintain a consistent level of quality."The problem is, The Boys kind of has jumped on the MCU train when it comes to building a comic book universe. Last year Amazon announced that following the success of The Boys and its first spinoff Gen V, another one set in Mexico is in the works. Then there's Vought Rising, a third spinoff that'll serve as a prequel, focusing on Soldier Boy and Stormfront. I don't know about you, but to me those in-world jokes about all those The Seven movies rings a little hollow these days.We will be saying goodbye to The Boys eventually, though, as it was confirmed earlier this year that season 5 will be the last, so enjoy it while you can.
