The Boys creator Eric Kripke has explained a last-minute change he made to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the season 4 finale, and❀ how it was all down to Karl Urban's "top shelf" acting as Billy Butcher in the emotional scene.
"So this Butcher scene KILLED me. Originally, we planned to cut back & forth between him & Hughie," he told his followers on X, formerly knowℱn as Twitter. "But was so heartbreakingly great, we just held on him. He's delivering top shelf, Emmy winning work here consistently."
In the sequence, and be warned, we're going to get a little spoiler-heavy from here on outಌ, Hughie and Butcher share an achingly melancholy (but predictably lewd) phone call, as the latter recovers in the hospital after falling unconscious at the bar in the pr🎃evious episode.

"We need your help," Hughie says over the line, ✨but Butcher starts trailing off in only a way Butcher can. "When I was a lad," he begins, "I heard about this place in Nevada. A steakhouse, where the birds get their baps out when they bring you a ribeye. Lenny nearly pissed himself when I told him," he continues, mentioning his late younger brother. "Thought it was the funniest thing he ever heard. We was gonna go there someday. Well... Funny what you think about when your time's up, innit?"
"Butcher, where are you? I can come to you. We can figure this out," Hughie replies solemnly, to which Urban's character༺ says: "Do us a favor, would you, Hughie? Go there. For me and Len, would ya? And tell the Boys I'm sorry, would ya? Tell the Boys I'♚m sorry for, uh... Just tell 'em I'm sorry. Goodbye, Hughie."
Kripke recently teased what to expect from The Boys' upcoming fifth and final season, suggesting it'll present "the show's version of the ap🎀ocaly𝓰pse" as the꧟ titular anti-Supe group make a last ditch attempt to stop Homelander from, well, taking over the world?
"The Boys are at their lowest point; most of them are captured, and we worry for their future," he told . "I always look at it [like𝔍 we're at] the end of the ꦉsecond act of a movie, where everyone's really at their low point, and they've all faced their own personal demons. Now, they need to really come together in the fifth season and save the world."
