The Boys: There Is No Way Homelander Can Beat Soldier Boy
Season 4 is yet to premiere, but The Boys fandom is already buzzing with theories on upcoming fights.
One of the most exciting and likely fights will be between two of the most powerful Supes in the show's universe. But can one of them die at the hands of the other?
Homelander, the ruthless and powerful Supe, is known for his strength, speed, and ability to fly.
He is one of the most feared heroes in The Boys, but only his father can give him a run for his money, and that is Soldier Boy.
While Homelander may seem invincible, there are several reasons why Soldier Boy could easily beat him in a fight.
Soldier Boy has a powerful weapon that could give him an advantage in a bout with his son. The Supe can generate powerful blasts that can destroy anything in their path.
Redditor hihowudoin2 points out that for some reason, fans thought that the main antagonist of the series would be easy to handle in a one-on-one showdown with a World War II "veteran."
However, the theory author disagrees with this statement. They point out that Soldier Boy spent more than 40 years under the torture of the Russians — and the only way they found was to put the hero to sleep.
Even if Homelander beats and strangles his father, before he dies, he will surely use his special ability and explode. This explosion is capable of destroying not only part of the city, but also the careless villain.
The audience also thinks that it is possible to end both Supes with nuclear weapons. However, such a method would cause more destruction than good.
Other fans have argued that Soldier Boy blowing up didn't even kill Maeve, just took away her eye and abilities. So the Homelander will surely survive. However, this could set a precedent for The Boys to finally get rid of the villain.
Some viewers speculate that the Russians weren't trying to kill Soldier Boy, but to expose him to Compound V. Still, many fans insist that the durability of the Payback Team leader is much higher than that of the Homelander.
Regardless of the outcome of the showdown, audiences are hoping to see a legendary father-son battle. According to the creators, the new installment of The Boys will bring us even more action, humor and thrilling scenes.
Season 5 of the show is rumored to premiere in late 2023, but due to the writers' strike, the release date may change.
