Jack Quaid looking angry as Hughie Campbell while Tek Knight smiles in The Boys
Summary The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke addresses the controversial storyline involving Hughie and Tek Knight. In a typical trope for television, Hughie has to go uncover in season 4, episode 6, "Dirty Business," to get some information about the villains' plans. But, The Boys character engages in strange sexual acts and is set up to be tortured by his former idol, Tek Knight.
Well, that’s a dark way to look at it! We view it as hilarious. Obviously, Tek Knight is our version of Batman, and we wanted to really play around with that trope: Batman’s fascist underpinnings as a really wealthy dude who hunts poor people, and then profits of the incarceration. So that was one. Tek Knight was already set up to be a freak, so we were kind of already halfway there. Then the notion came up of, he should have a Batcave — but let’s be honest, the Batcave would be a sex dungeon.
Why The Boys' Latest NSFW Scene Misses The Mark There Are A Few Issues With It. Close With the end in sight, as The Boys season 5 will be the least, it's fair to ask whether it's usual to waste so much screen time on the actions of those who are secondary. The scene feels like a misunderstanding of the previous NSFW scenes that the series promoted. Whereas "Herogasm" was a gag about how sexual encounters could go wrong once superpowers are involved, the Hughie torture scene has no purpose except to humiliate the character and test the endurance of what the audience might feel comfortable seeing. There's an argument that the scene could work better if it were darker and if it actually attempted to interrogate how Hughie feels.
