The Boys season 3: 7 crucial moments from episode 5

4. Soldier Boy in America

Soldier Boy got back to America and noticed that everything around him had changed. After hearing Russian music on the radio, he unleashed his radioactive blast and destroyed a building. Then he takes a trip to see The Legend to get the address for his ex-girlfriend Crimson Countess.

Soldier Boy took seeing the new world better than anyone would have thought. From the clips of his past we can see he’s an awful person. It’s shocking that he didn’t go crazy and kill more people. Sure, he destroyed a building and killed anyone in the blast radius, but being triggered by the music of people that tortured him makes sense.

3. Crimson Countess

When Soldier Boy goes to see The Legend, he is told that he wasn’t looking for a happy reunion. Soldier Boy meets Crimson Countess and says that he hoped that she’d save him all those years in Russia, but he came to find out that she helped the Russians capture him. What’s worse is she didn’t do it for money. She did it because she hates him. After that, Soldier Boy kills her with his energy blasts.

Before he was captured, Crimson Countess and Soldier Boy were a couple. He was unaware that she hated him. This isn’t shocking. Supes are oblivious to being horrible people, even to each other. Who knows the things he did to her. Viewers probably weren’t shocked that she betrayed him or that he killed her.
