Jensen Ackles IS Soldier Boy!

Finally getting his comic book due role by joining the 3rd season of THE BOYS.

But I thought Marvel was courting him for big movies?

by Anonymousreply 167December 26, 2020 3:59 AM

It's a shame that he was never cast as Leon Kennedy in a Resident Evil movie. He would've been awesome in that role.

by Anonymousreply 1August 17, 2020 5:59 PM

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I assume it's his history with Eric Kripke that got him the part. I don't care how he got it, I'm just excited to see him in a new role after watching him be the awesome character Dean Winchester for the last 15 years. It'll be a hoot to hear him curse and be dirty like the rest of the supes on that show.

It's like when John Manganiello claimed his "True Blood" schedule kept him from big projects. The show has been off the air since 2014 and these huge roles have not materialized.

Kripke and Ackles have a great relationship and I'm sure that Kripke will make sure he makes sure his buddy is put in the best light possible. I hope the movie roles pour in for JA after he gets his shot on The Boys, which is one of Amazon highest rated shows.

SPOILERS

[quote]Soldier Boy is a parody of Captain America and supposedly second in command of Payback. He is easily frightened and weak willed. In the first issue of Herogasm he was shown after having sex with Homelander who assured him that it wasn't gay and told him not to speak about it to anyone. Homelander had apparently pressured Soldier Boy into having sex with him by offering the possibility of joining the Seven. He was seen with Payback during the attack on The Boys, where he had his nose bitten off. After his encounter with The Boys, he is shown to be a prisoner of Butcher who is torturing him for information.

[quote]In The Boys #53 it is revealed, that there was another Soilder Boy before him, who was supposed to fight in World War II. The first Soldier Boy was introduced to the young commander Greg Mallory as leader of The Avenging Squad, a parody of the Invaders. Because of Soldier Boy's stupidity and lack of training, both Mallory's soldiers and the Avenging Squad get killed by Germans, Mallory himself is the sole survivor of the incident. When he finds the severely wounded Soldier Boy, who's begging for help, he kills him with a grenade in cold blood.

They never really followed the comic book so don't count on him being gay. In comic he was not gay just desperate to be in the A team of heroes so Homelander would fuck him at the hero hedonism event every year just to humiliate him.

r12 I doubt it will be in there. In the comic there was a weekend where all the heroes go together and just fucked anything and everything. Herogasim I think they called it. In the show they short of changed it to a club where the heroes hung out. The comic was about 1000 times more dirty, and gritty than the show. In the end of the comic Homelander's head is smashed in and his brains are pulled out. Also stormfront was a guy, and a nazi.

by Anonymousreply 14August 17, 2020 7:14 PM

The comic was way too tryhard edgy, the show smartly toned down the worst impulses of the comic which could veer into silliness.

I wouldn't be surprised if they kept him getting raped by Homelander at some point though. You can definitely make that work as a powerful scene in the show.

by Anonymousreply 25August 17, 2020 10:57 PM

Right. The point of the scene in the comic was that it allowed Homelander to realize that everybody worships the ground he walks on so much that he literally can get away with anything. Even telling this guy who isn't gay to bend over for him because he said so.

It's not about Soldierboy being secretly gay, I don't know where you pulled that from, its supposed to be wow Homelander is a psycho who looks at everyone else as a pawn for his own amusement.

by Anonymousreply 26August 17, 2020 11:14 PM

They said in S1 of The Boys, they filmed Homelander jacking off on top of a building but didn't include it. The sexual abuse of Maeve was referred to but not depicted. Etc. Despite being able to show a lot of violence, the show shys away from showing sex/nudity, it's a big double standard of American culture. Extreme violence is okay but nudity or sex? *Clutches pearls* 'Think of the children!'

I'm even doubtful they will include Soldier Boy's gay stuff. I think Jensen won't sure much skin, he doesn't really have much of a butt anyway. But Chace Crawford did get buff for the role.. so I suppose its possible Jensen could get in superhero shape.

The show was way off from the comic. Hughey was Scottish and bald with a goatee. He is tricked into taking the drug that gives the heroes powers. The female has a much larger role, starlight is forced to give Homelander head not The deep. The deep is African American and not at all like the Aquaman character they made him out to be. There are a shit ton more heroes in the comics. Black Noir is a homelander clone who is insane and does terriblet things. This is what drives Homelander. He has visions of him doing horrific things and decides he must have done then and loses his grip on reality - it turns out it was Black Noir but by the time Homelander realizes it , it is too late to turn back.

Not strictly true R27 that they shy away from sex/nudity - there was full-frontal male nudity in Season 1, there were multiple sex scenes. Not sure where you got the impression they shy away from it? Perhaps it's toned down from the comic (I've only read some of them) but they definitely push the envelope.

by Anonymousreply 91August 23, 2020 3:44 AM

I present to you Exhibit A: R90.

This is why that asshole, thirsty Collins is hated by many in the fandom.

Collins is the reason Jensen started being called a homophobe. Jensen has stated multiple times that destiel is never going to happen, that is not the show and that Dean is NOT gay.

There was a convention where some stupid bitch of a crazy fan asked Jensen about Dean and Castile, that is where Jensen said it would never happen. The same question was asked to that asshole Collins and instead of saying it wasn’t going to happen, and to kill any further discussion, like Jensen had just done earlier, he had the temerity, even though he’s just a third rate actor, to say that he would have to speak to Jensen about that! Like, what the fuck dude?

He eggs on his stupid fans because he needs for them to keep harping on that pairing to keep him relevant and to keep him on the show. Of course now the show is ending so it’s all moot now. His fans are truly batshit.

They went berserk over the last 7 episodes poster that came out where it was just Sam and Dean. They kept harping about where the angel was. Who. The. Fuck. Cares.

That’s why I hate Collins and his idiotic fans. Jensen a homophobe? Fuck them.

by Anonymousreply 99August 23, 2020 4:55 PM

R99, So what? Do you think any show could last fifteen seasons with two people only, and every other cast member gets killed off or leaves the show somehow? This show would have been gone years ago if not for bringing in Collins as eye candy and then Calvert when the others started aging out of that range.

It’s not just a fantasy show, real life people have to work on it and they occasionally need or want time off for personal reasons. Ackles and Padalecki took time off when their kids were born.

Collins was there in large part so the other two don’t have to be on screen every minute. It’s hard for two people to carry a show alone. If one of the two breaks a leg or something, and there’s no other permanent characters, they have no show. Most shows have a lot larger permanent cast.

Actors get categorized according to how many episodes per season they do. Collins talked about that a long time ago. When you’re over a certain number of episodes (I think he said it was seven) , they’re basically buying your availability for the season, they get first dibs on you. If they have you on two or three episodes a season, they don’t have first dibs on you and you can take jobs elsewhere. They couldn’t get Jeffrey Dean Morgan back for years because he got jobs elsewhere and wasn’t going to block out a hole in his schedule to appear in one or two episodes. It wasn’t worth it unless he was already free. And he wasn’t. Same with the “Bobby” actor. He took other jobs and then they couldn’t get him back for a long time. That affects the scripts and storyline for the whole season. If you don’t offer actors enough episodes to make it worth their while, they’re gone.

People who complain because they brought in additional cast aren’t thinking about what it’s like to have to be on screen almost the entire show, every show with no break. You have to have other full time cast members or there’s nobody to share the burden. It’s too risky, there’s too much likelihood one of the two main characters could be temporarily incapacitated and then the whole crew gets laid off until they’re back.

4 Things You Should Know About Soldier Boy Before His Debut on The Boys

Supernatural is almost over, but Jensen Ackles already has his next role lined up, joining The Boys as Soldier Boy in the upcoming third season. So who is Soldier Boy, exactly, and what was he like in the comics? From the sound of things, he's a pretty colorful character, even though he's not one of the "main" superheroes. These are the four things you should know about the comic version of Soldier Boy - spoilers ahead, obviously!

1. He's Basically a Parody of Captain America A serum-enhanced super-soldier, originating in WWII, with a patriotic theme and a clean-cut, morally superior persona - it's pretty clear that Soldier Boy is an exaggerated parody of Captain America. In the comics, he's notably more old-fashioned and naive than the rest of the superheroes, refusing to engage in swearing, casual sex, and the other hedonistic behavior that his colleagues embraced. He also takes the whole "patriotic hero" thing to a hilariously over-the-top level, frequently spouting off cheesy, faux-patriotic lines or using a running list of American states as a "battle cry." Because of his squeaky-clean persona, he's elected the leader of a team called Payback, which also includes Stormfront (who arrives in the TV version in season two), but he longs to join The Seven.

2. His Powers Are Mostly Physical One of the biggest differences between Soldier Boy and Cap is the latter's heart. Basically, Soldier Boy is a deconstruction of all the outward traits of Captain America and similar characters, but without the sharp tactics and the big heart. The first Soldier Boy, who fought during WWII, was given superpowers through an experimental serum called Compound V. As a result, he gained strength and enhanced reflexes, as well as a healing factor that allows him to keep fighting even after sustaining injuries that would take down a normal human. He's not, however, immortal or totally immune to harm.

3. He's a Legacy Character That healing factor helps with the ruse that Soldier Boy is one person who's been aging superslowly since the 1940s. In fact, there have been multiple Soldier Boys. The original's lack of intelligence and heart proved to be his doom: he made a selfish, bad call that led to his camp being discovered by the Germans and his entire team, except him and the future founder of The Boys, being killed. Although the superhero community keeps up the pretense that he's a long-lived WWII vet, the title is actually a legacy. The present-day Soldier Boy - the one Ackles will presumably be playing - is actually the third Soldier Boy.

4. He Has a Creepy History with One of The Seven The most headline-grabbing part of Soldier Boy's arc, though, is his history with Homelander (who is basically a dark parody or deconstruction of Superman). During an annual event that brings superheroes together for a week of debauchery, drugs, and sex, Soldier Boy is tricked into having sex with Homelander under false pretenses: he believes that he's undergoing a recruitment test to join The Seven, while Homelander knows perfectly well that's not the case.

Apparently, Jensen got very far in the casting for Captain America before losing to Chris Evans. However, Marvel like to keep tabs when other roles come up, so offered him Renner's role of Hawkeye, which he declined due to "scheduling conflicts" with Supernatural.

Sebastian Stan also lost out on Captain America and got Bucky. While Hawkeye is kind of a dud as played by Renner, you gotta wonder whether it might have been better and given an expanded role with someone else.

Yeah, the timing would have been almost exact. Captain America was released in 2011, so must have filmed in 2010, Supernatural's 5th season.

I wonder if doing a parody of Captain America is an intentional FU to Marvel or a happy karmic coicidence.

[quote]Yes he is. He was outed as a republican back in 2012 when he put his house up for sale. People checked his voting registration details and it came back registered republican. It is pretty obvious why his PR have been trying to clean up his image lately, especially with regards to the LGBTQ community. He has had a bad reputation with LGBTQ community for almost a decade for his past comments and past anti-gay slurs at conventions. You mentioned Christian Cane being his friend? What about those Duck Dynasty friends he went into business with a while back, some of the most homophobic people in the industry.

I absolutely believe that you're right about his people trying to clean up his image.

Years ago on one of the Supernatural threads there was a post from someone who claimed to work for the same talent management company that manged Ackles. That post was incredibly articulate and very, very believable. It said that Ackles had been lectured over and over about his comments pertaining to gay men and that if he wanted to make the leap to the big screen after Supernatural he had to clean up his perceived homophobia. He also was told to downplay his Republicanism and encouraged to use his wife to do both. He was cautioned that if he didn't, big directors and casting agents simply wouldn't work with him.

That post was written at least a year before Jensen starting watching what he said and backing a few select Democratic candidates. In photos with his wife, Misha and MJ Hegar, Jensen looks so uncomfortable that it's palpable. And come on! No one who's cool with gays is going to go into business with the goddamn Duck Dynasty people.

I will never believe it.

‘The Boys’ Showrunner on Weekly-Release Backlash: ‘It’s Not Fun to See Bad Reviews on a Thing People Actually Love’

In the first week since its release, Season 2 of Amazon’s “The Boys” has a received a 97% “fresh” rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 2.7 star rating (out of 5 possible stars) from users on Prime Video. While those numbers clearly don’t seem compatible, if you look at the actual reviews being left on the show’s home platform, you’ll see the reason behind the discrepancy has less to do with Season 2’s quality and more to do with the quantity of episodes that viewers have been given to start with.

“OKAY SERIOUSLY!!!… NO FULL SEASON AVAILABLE?!?!?!?!?!?! I give up, where is my Netflix!” one person wrote in their 1-star review.

“This is 2020…. we don’t want staggered releases of episodes !! what a shame, I was looking forward in watching it.. now I’ll just skip it and wait for it to be cancelled, then I can watch them all without any interruptions,” another 1-star giver said.

Yes, some fans — like the ones above — are mad that “The Boys” dropped its first three Season 2 episodes on Sept. 4, and is rolling out its remaining five on a weekly basis, rather than dumping the whole season at once, as the series did when it debuted last summer. And so these viewers are taking their anger out on the Prime Video series by “review bombing” it.

While “The Boys” showrunner Eric Kripke understands why fans like these are frustrated, he doesn’t understand “why you would harm something you love” just because you don’t like how it’s being released.

“I get that people are disappointed and, frankly, looking back, we thought that we were communicating that we were weekly,” Kripke told TheWrap Wednesday. “Clearly, in hindsight, we had to do a lot more than we did to make sure that people weren’t surprised and disappointed. I would have done that differently. I mean, again, we announced it. But we should have neon-signed it on everything, clearly.”

(To be clear, Amazon Prime Video revealed the show’s second season would be released weekly when it announced the premiere date back in June.)

“So I get that people are disappointed, but I think one thing they need to understand is, this is not like a corporate, Amazon money grab — this was from the producers. We wanted this. It was a creative choice. So they may like it or not like it, but they have to at least respect that the people who are making the show wanted it to be released this way because we wanted to have time to sort of slow down a little bit and have conversations about everything. So they at least have to appreciate that it was a creative choice.”

Kripke continued: “And then second, like, why you would harm something you love because you’re disappointed with how it’s being released is not awesome for me. We’re fine, and it’ll be fine, but it’s not fun to see bad reviews on a thing people actually love. Like, that doesn’t make the people who make the show feel good. I’ll say that.”

R124 He is not in business with the Duck Dynasty idiots. They were locals in Austin, whom they had gotten to know through JARED and Genevieve. They had a food truck business they were starting up. Jensen and Danneel were opening Family Business and they needed a food option. It was Louisiana food, Danneel and her family are from Louisiana. They were only there temporarily. They aren't anymore and haven't been for quite some time. I believe FBBC makes their own food now, I know they do pizzas. Most people in the country do know people and interact with people who are Republicans, they even do business with them. Hell there are millions of Democrats in this country who eat at Chik Fil A.

You can repeat and repeat it, but none of it makes it true. Jensen's been involved, he's not an activist but hell he's probably done more than most of you have in actual fact, he's been involved in voting rights charities this year, he's been involved in calls with Democratic congressman(it helps that Cory Booker is a huge fan of the show:)), he and Danneel have tried help show some support towards black owned businesses, he's been involved in LGBT fundraisers for years now.

He's talked about it, he just talked about it in an interview just within the last few days, maybe it was the Glamour interview, about how having kids made him feel like he had to get more involved, etc. But somehow reasonable normal emotions are unknown to some of you. It happens to a lot of people that way. They have kids, start thinking more about the world they want them to live in and it goes from there.

by Anonymousreply 133October 16, 2020 5:22 AM

R121 It shouldn't be a shocker.

Kripke said from the start Jensen was playing a version of the FIRST Soldier Boy. That Soldier Boy never had sex with Homelander to begin with. Only instead of killing him off in WWII like in the comic, he's going to live to the modern age, which they've already established some Supes have super slow aging because Stormfront was also originally from the WWII era.

So anyone who paid even a little bit of attention to what Kripke actually said when the character was announced would know Jensen's Soldier Boy was never the Soldier Boy who had sex with Homelander.

Also what is this "Yay gay rape!" because the Soldier Boy who had sex with Homelander was Harvey Weinsteined into doing it and wasn't actually gay himself. He was an absolute idiot though. He was asking Homelander "This doesn't mean I'm gay right?" I'd hardly call it positive representation.

Please explain what is homophobic about not having a gay coerced sex scene that is purely about power politics with Homelander using the second Solder Boy's hero worship and desperation to get into The Seven to coerce him into sex? The first Soldier Boy having spent decades as the preeminent Supe before "dying" is not going to coerced into having sex, he's the legend in this scenario. He's is a threat to Homelander's supremacy, a rival. The character is very different.

by Anonymousreply 134October 16, 2020 5:40 AM

R110 You are absolutely correct. He has been forced to clean up his homophobic, Republican image.

I am not so sure everyone is buying it certainly not the LGBTQ community. He has been absolutely crucified this past week all across the internet and social media with people branding him homophobic over his recent reaction to Cas telling Dean he loved him. Many pointed out how disgusted Jensen looked doing that scene and that he couldn't even hide his homophobia in character.

Like I say he's been crucified with people also making memes mocking his homophobia.

I actually stopped watching the show years ago because of him and his homophobia.

So I’ll tell you again, all you hateful motherfuckers, why Collins is loathed by a large segment of fandom.

That asshole supposedly knew 3 months in advance of how the putrid, hack writers were going to end his story. Jensen did not.

Where the fuck do the writers come off telling that asshole how his arc is going to end and fail to tell Jensen?? He went into the scene literally blind.

Now because of how Dean reacted they, once again, calling him a homophobe. What was Dean supposed to say or do?

DEAN IS NOT BI OR GAY, NEVER HAS BEEN, NEVER WILL BE.

Collins will never work in the industry again. His toxic, crazed, deluded fans have poisoned him for always. NO ONE will want to bring those vicious, demanding, pathetic fans into their shows.

by Anonymousreply 142November 12, 2020 12:48 PM

It’s my understand that Ackles did know what was going to happen in that scene in advance. He wasn’t told at the exact same time as Misha was, but he did know far enough in advance to be prepared.

If Misha was told at a different time, that would be the showrunner’s choice, not Misha’s. So why are people attacking Misha and not the show runner, who would actually be responsible? It’s weird to assume Misha told himself, and not that somebody in charge of the show decided who to tell when. Like their boss.

All of this goes back to homophobic people that hate Misha’s character because they thought he was gay. So they blame Misha for anything that happened with his character or the other characters, as if Misha was running the show and personally chose everything that happened on the show.

Whatever Misha said publicly, he was not in charge of anything that actually happened, he was an actor on the show, like Jensen or anybody else. He was not in control of storylines. If you don’t like the storylines, blame management, not the employees. They were all just actors reading lines, and if they refused to read them as is, they could be sued for breach of contract and fired. So whatever they did in the show is what they were told to do. If the show runner didn’t like it, they would have had it reshot. Put the blame where it lies.

About The Boys, there are definitely gay scenes written in the original text with Jensen’s new character. They may choose to write those out, they may choose to tone them down but make some reference to them happening off camera. Or they may eventually choose to show more than people think after a while. It’s cable, they can do what they want. This is where we find out what Jensen has in his contract. He’s been around a long time, probably knows how to negotiate a contract, and if he negotiated those scenes out, he won’t have to do them. The proof will be on the screen, one way or the other. I think Kripke really wanted to use him, but if they have to re-write the entire character to suit him, it won’t take long to find out. And fans of the original comic will be furious and complain loudly, so it’s not like we won’t know.

If it has to be re-written, it’s miscast as a favor to Jensen. They better have some good writers to put a new persona in place that can blend with the others, or they’re going to have a problem. If the other actors find out Jensen is given more influence over his character and storylines than they are, because he’s homophobic, we’ll never hear the end of it.

"About The Boys, there are definitely gay scenes written in the original text with Jensen’s new character. "

R143 No there aren't. This has been explained. THAT Soldier Boy was the second or third Soldier Boy. Jensen is playing the FIRST Soldier Boy. So even the his Soldier Boy was written exactly as portrayed on the page(which very few of the character are so I don't know why his would be) , his would NOT be the Soldier Boy who was coerced into sex by Homelander.

They didn't have re-writer anything for his character because that was never his character. He's an entirely different guy, the guy who originated the hero name Soldier Boy back in WWII. Not the one Homelander has sex with.

I love people who who act like they know exactly what they are talking about and then get pretty much everything wrong. Kripke said from the start he was playing the original Soldier Boy. It's not his or Jensen's fault people are idiots, don't pay attention and don't even the slighted bit of actual research.

R147 Do you expect them to give away the whole plot before the show even airs? There were things in the show in Season 2 that hint at it though, besides Kripke and Jensen both actually saying he's going to from that era. Jensen explained how when he was going for his first costume fitting, the wardrobe person mentioned all the characters have a playlist and they decided on 1940's songs because that is the era Jensen's Soldier Boy originates in.

We already had Storm Front/Liberty Girl from that same era in Nazi Germany, so we know that sometimes Compound V causes delayed/slowed aging. As such its entirely possible that Soldier Boy can be over a 100 years old. The show has actually shown us his birth and "death dates" - 1910 to 1982, so in fact he's a 110. :)

I don't know if there will be any legacy Soldier Boys but it doesn't really matter, Jensen is playing the original WWII era Soldier Boy.

Also what I mean by "that has been explained" is that people who DO pay attention have explained it, not specifically Kripke, but he has given enough information to know it, most specifically that Jensen is playing the original Soldier Boy, "the first Supe", which he said from the start. Doesn't take very much research at all to find out that the character Homelander sleeps with is NOT the original Solder Boy.
