Eric Kripke explique pourquoi le twist de Black Noir ne fonctionne pas dans The Boys

Eric Kripke on Black Noir in The Boys

The showrunner of The Boys, Eric Kripke, has confirmed that Black Noir won’t be a clone of Homelander in the TV series, as he was in the original comics. This decision was made to maintain the menacing presence of Homelander as the core villain throughout the show.

Why The Comic Twist Doesn’t Work in The Boys

The twist in the comic series involving Black Noir’s true identity and his relationship with Homelander wouldn’t work in the TV adaptation. Kripke believes that revealing Black Noir as a clone would take away from Homelander’s role as the main antagonist of the series.

In the original comics, Black Noir is portrayed as a clone of Homelander who manipulates and ultimately kills the real Homelander. However, the show has taken a different direction with Black Noir’s character, making him a former member of Payback with brain damage caused by Soldier Boy.

Maintaining Homelander’s Menacing Presence

Kripke’s decision to keep the twist from the comics ensures that Homelander will continue to be a significant threat in The Boys season 5. By preserving Homelander as the main antagonist, the show can maintain its momentum and build on the character’s instability in future seasons.

Overall, The Boys is a loose adaptation of the original comic series, allowing for creative choices like deviating from certain plot twists to better serve the TV show’s narrative.
