Is A-Train Doomed in The Boys Season 4?
A-Train's fate sparks intense fan debate.
The Boys has been one of the biggest hits on Amazon Prime since its release. The show is praised for its dark and gritty take on the superhero genre. One of the most intriguing characters on the show is A-Train, who basically started the plot of the entire series.
While waiting for season 4, fans went on Reddit to decide which fate A-Train deserves most. Here are some of the best suggestions.
Redemptive death
One perspective advocates for a redemptive death for A-Train. Supporters of this ending believe that A-Train should experience a moment of clarity, realizing the value of lives beyond his own.
This growth would humanize him and make him more relatable to audiences. A-Train might sacrifice himself to protect someone he previously wouldn't have cared about, and by doing so, A-Train would leave a lasting impact on viewers and will be remembered as an actual hero.
Tragic fate
Another opinion suggests that A-Train's character has been through so much turmoil that a tragic fate seems fitting. A-Train's brother despises him, he is not as fast as he was, and he is alone.
Those favoring this ending envision a deeply tragic conclusion, possibly even suicide. This ending might make A-Train accept the consequences of his actions.
Satisfying character development
A-Train has gone through some major changes in the show, and some fans think it would be a bummer to just kill him off.
Those who support this idea like how A-Train has grown and become more complex, and they think his story deserves a better ending. They want to see him face his past and find a new direction in life.
We’ve seen A-Train murdering at least two people, and given that Ashley had to cover for him before, probably, he killed more. While some fans support the idea that A-Train deserves a second chance, and he can still do something good, many people believe he has to die anyway.
It's unclear if A-Train is going to die anytime soon, but either way, fans are eagerly anticipating season 4.
Even though filming of the season has concluded, the release date is currently unknown due to the ongoing WGA strike.
