“The Boys”: who are the new characters in season 4?

Season four Boys– actually, the penultimate one – it is even, with only three episodes released, the heaviest, most complex and strange of the entire production. Not only by changing the pace and way of understanding the main characters. Also, being more straightforward and straightforward, understanding their conflicts and their ambiguous morals. The result is a plot that shows all the degradation of its characters, in the context of a violent political and social atmosphere and pressure from the media.

From how the Patriot’s (Anthony Starr) trial divides public opinion to how the Butcher (Karl Urban) faces his possible death. The truth is that the series explores its main characters and grows through them. But more than anything, it shows that the show’s violent and often bloody writing is becoming increasingly complex. Moreover, the argument in its criticism is much more frontal, perspectives and nuanced perceptions of power in a corrupt and violent culture.

Credit in part to changes in tone and rhythm Boys , their new characters have it. We leave you with four that you should keep an eye on moving forward. From a superheroine with unusual powers – and insane, because it could not be otherwise – to the mother of the main character, who sheds light on her past.

Susan Hayward as Sister Sage

Los Siete de has two new members. Boys and one of them is Sister Sage (Susan Hayward), the so-called smartest person in the world.

But beyond that, the character’s amazing intellectual abilities puts her in a completely new place before being challenged by a team of superheroes.

Sister Sage’s amazing intelligence is discussed in the series as how Vought International attempts to solve its societal problems.

That he will try to demonstrate his full ability to construct political discourse. and especially the perception of Starlight and her fight against superheroes.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Joe Kessler

This CIA agent, who shares a common past with the Butcher, is one of the most interesting characters in the fourth season of the series. Boys. Basically, seems to support the latter’s desire to destroy Vought International’s superheroes.

However, it is clear that this is not a heroic goal and not for the collective good. This makes Kessler a more sinister character who becomes increasingly strange as the story progresses. What is clear at this point is that all of his actions are aimed at using the Butcher’s rage to stop super. But where his manipulations are directed remains to be seen.

Rosemary DeWitt as Daphne Campbell
