The Boys S5 Fires Up a Lava-Fed Rock-Hard Parody of The Thing

Season 5’s second episode introduces Rock-Hard, a gross, lava-spouting parody of The Thing who massively expands after a failed anti-Supe virus test; Butcher, Starlight, and Kimiko try the virus on him, but the plan goes wrong and most of Teenage Kix pay the price, with Soldier Boy surviving in the cliffhanger. Showrunner Eric Kripke and writer Jessica Chou explain the satirical take on superhero tropes that led to Rock-Hard’s design.

TV Reviews Roundup: The Pitt’s finale tease, Hacks’ EGOT bid, Big Mistakes’ crime-capers, and The Boys’ endgame setup

A roundup of four TV reviews: The Pitt's season-2, episode-14 installment '8:00 P.M.' clocks in at 41 minutes and largely punts major character payoffs to next week’s finale, centering on Robby, Langdon, and Duke with intervention as a through-line; Hacks returns for its final season with Deborah Vance plotting a legacy-defining EGOT and clashing with Bob Lipka as Ava pushes the comeback; Netflix’s Big Mistakes follows siblings Nicky and Morgan as they dive into Glenview’s criminal underworld, delivering dark comedy and a strong cast but pacing that drags at times; The Boys’ final season premiere leans into familiar chaos as Homelander consolidates power, Soldier Boy returns, and Billy and MM plot a Supe-killing virus, all while characters face losses and questions about how the endgame will land.

Kripke Explains A-Train’s Season 5 Death: A Bold, Hard-Called Moment

In a Deadline interview, The Boys creator Eric Kripke explains why Jesse T. Usher’s A-Train was killed in the Season 5 premiere as a deliberate, “really hard” call to prove that no one is safe and to raise the stakes early. The arc includes A-Train’s redemption path, a hard-won reconciliation with his brother, and a realization of his own fragility. Kripke also discusses Kimiko finally talking with a “no bullsh*t” voice, the season’s political parallels as coincidental, and updates on spin-offs like Gen V and The Boys: Mexico, plus cameos and crossovers peppered through the season.

The Boys S5 Debut Drops a Bombshell: Homelander’s Secret Goes Public

The season 5 premiere opens with a leaked clip showing Homelander’s role in Flight 37 as Maeve and Starlight use it to leverage him, while Sage publicly calls the footage a deepfake. The episode also stages an AI-generated “evidence” moment on Truth Bomb, satirizing how fast media spins can distort scandals, and hints that Annie’s earlier leak didn’t derail Homelander as much as hoped, leaving his image and regime precarious.
