What Jensen Ackles' The Boys Comments Mean
The Supernatural Reunion Has A Chance To Be Special
As Jensen Ackles mentioned in the interview, Eric Kripke understands the potential of bringing the threeSupernaturalstars together for a reunion episode onThe Boys. Five years after the dark fantasy show’s ending,Supernaturalstill maintains an avid, passionate fanbase, and it’s much to the credit of Ackles and the aforementioned co-stars, who frequently attend conventions to share their behind-the-scenes stories. Not to mention,anyone who’s seenSupernatural’s"The French Mistake" knows the degree of hilarious fan service these stars can providewhen making meta references to their own work.
Combining the limitless tone of the Prime Video show with theSupernaturalstars' knack for self-aware comedy sounds like an outstanding recipe for success that should be a treat for fans of both shows.
Supernaturalpushed the limits of what was allowed on network television, butThe Boysis downright vile. Combining the limitless tone of the Prime Video show with theSupernaturalstars' knack for self-aware comedy sounds like an outstanding recipe for success that should be a treat for fans of both shows. With any sort of reunion or crossover, the goal is to avoid alienating fans of either title, and these stars know how to put on a show that will appeal to everyone.
Our Take On The Boys' Supernatural Reunion
Expect Your Supernatural Expectations To Be Subverted
As much asSupernaturalfans will be excited to see these stars reunite on screen, it’s worth remembering that this is stillThe Boys. If this show suggests anything about Eric Kripke’s sense of humor, especially after what we’ve already seen with Soldier Boy,I can imagine the scenes shared by Ackles, Padalecki, and Collins will have some wild, violent, or raunchy elements.The Boysis a dark show, and whatever roles these characters take likely won’t be as charming as howSupernaturalfans remember them.
