10 crucial moments from The Boys season 3 premiere
By Mark Lynch
2. The Boys season 3 best moments: Grace Malory’s time abroad
Grace Malory worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. That means some of the things she did weren’t going to be exactly legal. Viewers saw an example of this in episode three. She was in Nicaragua working to bring drugs into America. That’s not all. Malory admits that she was then ordered to make sure those drugs went into Black neighborhoods. That obviously rubbed Marvin Milk the wrong way. While hearing the story, he knew this was coming, but he had to hear her say it. He was disgusted that he worked with her.
1. The Boys season 3 best moments: Black Noir and Soldier Boy
While in Nicaragua, the “superhero” team Payback was there. Among those teammates were Black Noir and Soldier Boy. In this episode, two major things happen to the now member of The Seven and the man who killed M.M. ‘s parents.
First, Black Noir is a Black man. While talking to a very young Stan Edgar, Noir says that he wants to show his face. Edgar reminds him that the world isn’t ready for a Black superhero with his power. He then tells him to keep his helmet and mask on, it’s advice Noir should have taken. Noir’s face was scarred and burned during an attack on their camp.
During that attack, Soldier Boy was hit with a weapon that allegedly killed him. Something that strong shouldn’t be possible. After hitting him with the weapon, the Russians take Soldier Boy’s body with them as they escape. It’s very reminiscent of Bucky Barnes and how he became the Winter Soldier.
