Did Starlight join The Boys?

Yes. [bell dings]

Ooh, ooh! Yes!

I was like-

She's a part of The Boys now!

Yeah, yeah.

Is Homeland pure evil?

Whoa! Whoa. Wait.

He's a flawed human being like all of us.

I do think that like, he is pretty freaking evil,

but I think it's 'cause he's got some PTSD.

[bell dings] I mean,

he was raised in a lab and he was abused.

What happened on the plane with Maeve and Homelander?

Oh. Oh God.

[Claudia groans] Okay.

The deaths of so many people.

So many people. Homelander just...

[bell dings] See-

That was a- He is evil.

He is evil. Mass murder.

A little mass murder.

Preventable mass murder.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Preventable.

That stuck with me.

That one, it was a scary moment.

Oof. Yeah. Shocking.

Who can beat Homelander?

I mean- Any of us.

I think Neuman.

[buzzer dings]

I dunno.

I feel like he cheats

'cause he has so many powers.

So like, we need...

Yeah, it's not really fair.

We need to talk to the writers about this.

He has like, six different powers

and we only have one or two, so.

But like, I feel like between the three of us...

[Erin clicks her tongue]

We- Yeah.

Go for it. I'll hold him down.

What are The Boys new characters in season four?

[buzzer dings]

Partnership? Business acquaintances.

Why is Homelander called Homelander?

'Cause- Do you know?

I do. Because- I don't know.

He didn't like his name, John,

that he was given at birth.

Oh! [buzzer dings]

And he thought, I'm gonna be the Home...

He's choosing his like, stage name, essentially.

Yeah. That reminds me, by the way-

Anytime someone asks me if Antony Starr,

who plays Homelander,

if that's his stage name,

I say yes.

[all three laugh]

Homelander would be such a good name

for like, a car.

Good marketing, Karen. Yeah.

Was Starlight a pageant kid?

I read that as pregnant.

[all three laugh]

I mean...

Was Starlight pregnant as a child?

As a kid? Sorry, no. Yes.

[bell dings]

I was a beauty pageant child. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah.

Crazy mom, Donna January.

Could Neuman kill Homelander?

Hell yeah.

Yes! Yes! Girls get it done!

Just pop it up.

We're biased. Yeah, we're biased.

But, also girls get it done.

We're all waiting for that.

How did Starlight get into the Seven?

I'm gonna let you in- By auditioning.

Hard work. [bell dings]

Hard work. You know, talent.

Yes. This is fun.

Why is Ashley going bald?

Stress.

Everyone has their own way of coping with stress.

No one is doing it to her. She's-

She's doing it to her.

She's like, she needs to- She's self-soothing.

She's self-soothing. Yeah.

By ripping her hair out of her scalp.

[bell dings]

I do love her bald wig. We all do it.

That she has to put on. It's such a good wig.

Smeagol. Smeagol, yeah! [laugh]

In a beautiful, sexy way.

Are the Boys good guys?

You know, it's a gray world.

I think they have good intentions.

[bell dings]

Yeah, yeah. Everyone does.

For the most part.

I feel like our show

does a really good job of showing good and bad.

We possess bad qualities, also good qualities.

Redemptive.

It's a politically correct answer we're giving.

Yes! Yes.

Wait, Temp V. [bell dings]

[All Three] Temp V.

Compound V.

Great Google question. Temp V.

Yeah. He gave in.

Yeah, he did. We all do it sometimes.

Girls get it done! [Claudia and Karen laugh]

Don't forget about my lightning bolts, please.

The bitch has lightning bolts!

Pew pew!

Does Hughie tell Starlight the truth?

Well... Like, yes and no.

Yes. Yeah. Ultimately, yeah.

Yeah. I think so.

[bell dings]

He tries to do it the first few seasons.

He's head over heels for you.

Yeah, he won't lie to you. He's honest.

Listen, I ship us. So eventually-

He's like a golden retriever boyfriend.

He is! Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The truth comes out with that dude.

Has to. What a sweetie.

Sweetie. We love him, we love him.

We love him. We love Hughie.

Does Hughie get powers? Yes, he does.

He does! [bell dings]

He shoots up that Temp V.

That's me disappearing. And lies to me.

And naked. But don't- And naked.

Why can't Kimiko speak?

We cannot answer that question because it is in season four.

Oh.

We can't answer that. We can't.

We can't tell you that. Nope. No.

Watch the show.

Who does Victoria Neuman secretly work for?

[sighs dramatically]

That's a secret. Yeah. [chuckles]

I'll never tell. [laughs]

I don't know any of the answers to the Victoria questions.

Well, Victoria in the comic books is Vic the Veep

and he's a dimwitted man.

But in our show, Stan Edgar.

They might be asking, like, yeah, yeah.

I'm gonna say Stan.

I'm gonna say father figure Stan.

[bell dings] Giancarlo.

Esposito. Esposito!

Love him.

How does Kimiko first come into contact with the Boys?

There's a woman in a cage and then they find her.

She escapes and then gouges someone's eyes out and...

[bell dings]

It's like every rom-com that I've seen.

But how do they- Honestly,

it should be a rom-com.

I'd watch it. It is a rom-com.

We do watch it. It's the show.

The Boys is a rom-com. It's a rom-com.

What unique powers does Queen Maeve have?

Leaving the scene of a crime early.

[buzzer dings] Early bird.

Getting out.

What are Kimiko's powers?

The healing and the strength.

Yeah.

So powerful. She's so strong.

[bell dings]

She's so strong. You are.

Immortality is awesome. It's pretty dope.

I would love to fly, just, like on wires.

Oh, my god. It looks fun.

It's so much fun.

I mean, like, whew. I went high up in the air last year.

I feel like I'd get vertigo.

Yeah. It's not really a spoiler.

You've seen me. Yeah.

You've seen me with vertigo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How did Starlight trick Homelander?

Mm. Hid my phone! [bell dings]

I think- Yeah, that's right.

Just recorded him. Wow, yeah.

Technology. Still didn't work.

Home Teamers are still at it,

but you know. What are gonna do?

Why does Queen Maeve fake her own death?

Because she's smart and she wants to get out.

I mean, she's so smart.

She wants out. She's like, I'm done.

If you're dealing with these people,

[bell dings]

I'd fake my death and go live in The Bahamas or something.

I dunno. Yeah, yeah.

Put me on an island somewhere.

I'm out.

She's like the person in the scary movie

that we're all like,

The sound! Do you hear that sound over there?

And she's like, I'm outta this.

That's so true! That's it.

That's so true.

She's like, There's no reception over here.

I'm gonna go this way.

Yeah. She's the only survivor.

She's like, Get outta the house.

She gets out.

She gets out. Yeah.

Good for her.

Okay.

Why did Victoria Neuman do that to everybody

during the hearing?

I was having a bad day.

You were going through something.

Secrets. Secrets.

Secrets. Secrets.

She was frustrated.

She was really going through it.

She was having a bad day.

She felt like it.

I didn't have coffee that day. You know?

She was hangry. It was pretty intense.

She was like, Pop some heads. It's fine.

I think that's a really good answer.

[buzzer dings] I don't want the real answer.

The real answer is bleak. That is the real answer.

The real answer is bleak. Yeah, it's intense.

How does Queen Maeve try to empower Starlight

against Vought's manipulative tactics?

She says, like, Look at me. Look at where I'm at.

Look at the power that you have

and don't let yourself sink down

into this hole like I have. [bell dings]

I would say you, Starlight,

also had an impact on her, though,

because you inspire her to do the right thing in the end.

Yeah. You know?

I think when you've got like, hope,

in a place that's like literally just-

Hopeless? A drought,

that in itself can be contagious.

Which member of the Seven does Starlight replace

when she joins the team?

Lamplighter. [bell dings]

[Claudia And Karen] Ding ding ding ding!

Wow. Karen's a genius.

The Seven, you guys are welcome.

[Claudia laughs] You're welcome.

They needed you. You're welcome.

They needed you. What can I say?

What is Kimiko Miyashiro's superhero alias?

Oh.

You'd think we don't know the show.

The Female. [bell dings]

[All Three] Yay!

When I signed on to do the show,

the character didn't have a name.

It was just The Female and Eric surprised me with it.

He loves to do that. He loves doing that.

During our first meeting.

I love that. He named me. He named me.

Aww. He birthed me.

Okay. Come on, come on.

Ready? Rapid fire.

This is the rapid fire.

Ready? Ready? Yeah, yeah.

Rapid fire, rapid fire.

Who communicates using sign language

to understand Kimiko better?

Frenchie! [bell dings]

Frenchie. Next.

What is Victoria Neuman's secret ability?

Exploding! She explodes heads!

[bell dings]

Is Victoria Neuman stronger than Homelander?

[All Three] Yes!

[Karen and Claudia laugh]

What is Kimiko's brother's name who also has superpower?

Sukenji! [bell dings]

Kenji! We love him.

We do.

Oh, it went down!

[laughs] It went in.

Excuse me, sorry. No, stop.

Why does Kimiko lose her powers?

Wait, wait. Because of Soldier Boy.

Yes! [bell dings]

That's right.

Why is Homelander so weird about milk?

I think that's like, some deep cultural issue.

He has mommy issues. [bell dings]

Let's not get into that. Let's not.

[Erin sighs]

Oh, god. That was a lot.

I know.

You've done a lot of seasons and a lot of scenes.

I forget half of that.

At the end of the season,

it's like the Men in Black thing happens and...

[light dings]

Thank you guys so much for your questions.

We loved them and we hope to see you next time

to answer some more.
