Although throughout three seasons, plus the fourth that we are currently enjoying, ‘The Boys’ has not been shy about depicting scenes of explicit and sexual violence, there is something in which Eric Kripke has had to cut back a little. According to the account showrunner of the Prime Video series, executives have asked him to lower the tone in a specific type of scene, since there may have been problems regarding legislation when it comes to representing animals.
Profundo’s “forbidden” love in ‘The Boys’
Indeed, neither sex nor violence. Kripke has had no problems with that at any time. Well, yes in sex, but like in sex between humans, otherwise in the relationship between Deep and Ambrosiusthe octopus who lives with him in his room in the Vought tower.
“It’s so funny, the only thing they’ve told me every season, and that we were going to do anyway, is ‘can you just, maybe, not put Profundo fucking an octopus in so many scenes?’”says Kripke in The Movie Dweeb. “Because there is the line of the representation of animals. They said ‘We’re not saying you can’t do it, just can you be a little more elegant in how you present it?’”.
Ambrosius and Profundo meet in Herogasm, one of the most controversial episodes of the series, although it is a scene that is represented much more explicitly in the pages of the comic. In this fourth season she is the actress Tilda Swinton who lends his voice to the mollusk, and we have seen how the relationship between the two has gone beyond sex, since Ambrosius is able to communicate with Profundo, which sometimes, as we will see in this fourth season, can become a problem. .
