The Boys season 2 has been horrifying and hilarious in equal measure. But it saved one of its biggest “Don’t walk in on me” moments for the finale. In fact, it was a scene so close to the bone that it was actually something that wasn’t allowed to be used in the first season because of its, ahem, graphic content.

Spoilers for The Boys season 2 finale follow…

So, Homelander masturbating. That was certainly a thing. It was also a thing filmed for the first season, as Eric Kripke revealed back in 2019 during a Reddit AMA.

  • A-Train in The Boys season 5 Weeks before The Boys season 5 aired, that Homelander and A-Train scene was already foreshadowed by the actors
  • Homelander smiling smugly in the Oval Office of the White House The Boys star says Homelander's most gruesome act is yet to come: "You think killing children is bad?! Just wait!"

“There was ONE SCENE that Amazon said FUCK NO, you have to cut... After being dressed down by Stilwell… [Homelander] was standing on one of the Chrysler building Eagles,” Kripke wrote. “He pulled his pants down and started jerking off, mumbling ‘I can do whatever I want’ over and over again until he climaxed all over New York City.”

Kripke continued: “Oh my God, Anthony was the BEST in that scene. Amazon seemed to think it wasn't necessary. I thought it told me something about his psyche. To be clear, they've been great, that may have been the ONLY fight I lost in Season 1.”

Sounds familiar? Now, it seems, The Boys has enough pull (phrasing?) to ensure something that couldn’t have been put in the first season was able to make the cut down the line. It appears that the unhinged act of self-love was even taken from season 1’s filming and placed directly into the season 2 finale, albeit with the Stilwell moments cut out.

Need something to watch until The Boys is back? Here are the best shows on Amazon Prime.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
