Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell frowning in The Boys with the White House and red paint as the background
The Boys feels undeniably different in recent seasons, and the Amazon series’ Hughie failure explains why this is the case. Although The Boys’ cast is full of interesting personalities, Hughie is presented as the main character of season 1. As Butcher, Homelander, and the other characters in The Boys begin to take on bigger roles, the focus shifts — and Amazon’s alternative superhero show doesn’t necessarily juggle its storylines well.
He’s probably the most relatable of The Boys ’ characters, making him an ideal way to connect viewers to the show. Hughie is still involved in The Boys season 3’s main story, but he spends much of it supporting other characters’ goals — from Butcher and Soldier Boy to Starlight. And in season 4, Hughie spends too much time separated from the group due to a subplot with his father that feels unnecessary and out of place. Hughie’s realization that The Boys should try to make peace with Neuman feels like a fitting return to form, but the foundation for it is shaky.
The Boys Would Have To Change Hughie’s Character Eventually Anyone Would Be Different After What He's Been Through In addition to The Boys sidelining Hughie, the fact that his character changes so much also alters the tone of the show. Hughie being shocked at the violence both the Supes and Butcher’s team are capable of is a huge part of his initial characterization.
